The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

It was another day that Prime Minister Feng was carried back to the Prime Minister's residence.

His face was covered in bruises and purple marks, and he looked particularly pitiful.

The Prime Minister's wife was both distressed and angry, furious that Prime Minister Feng wouldn't listen to advice: "My lord, you've been beaten by Marquis Guiping several times, how come you never learn your lesson?"

As the saying goes, no one knows a father better than his daughter. Feng Xiaoshuang guessed, "Dad, you must have been saying bad things about that Miss Su again, right? What did Miss Su do to offend you that you're always causing her trouble?"

Feng Xiaoshuang thought Miss Su was very nice, and the popcorn Miss Su invented was delicious.

When her brother was in Qinghe County, Miss Su had him send her and her mother many beautiful clothes from there, which attracted a lot of envy when they wore them.

Feng Xiaoshuang attended a banquet yesterday and witnessed a grand scene of several officials' wives fighting.

"Father, who in the capital doesn't know that Miss Su from Qinghe County is the Achilles' heel of the Guiping Marquis's household? She's someone you can't even talk about. Yesterday, when the Guiping Marquis's wife heard Madam Lu speaking ill of Miss Su, she disregarded her image and went straight up to tear her apart, scratching Madam Lu's face all over. Madam Lu was almost disfigured, and as a result, she was summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager and made to kneel all night. It was a terrible ordeal."

Prime Minister Feng was well aware that the Guiping Marquis's mansion practically treated that little girl like a princess.

On his way back from the palace, he saw a group of servants from the Marquis's mansion fighting with people in the street with sticks. He asked what was going on and found out that it was because someone had verbally insulted the little girl from Qinghe County.

The Marquis of Guiping's household is spoiling that little girl way too much. They won't even let her be scolded. Is there no justice in this world?

I heard that Marquis Guiping has set up a reward for reporting bad things. Anyone who hears someone saying bad things about Miss Su can report it to Marquis Guiping's mansion.

If the information is verified to be true, you can receive a reward of ten taels of silver, and then the Marquis's mansion will give the person who spoke ill of you a severe beating.

Ten taels of silver is a lot of money. Shop assistants work hard for a whole month and only earn one tael of silver a month.

As a result, the streets were full of spies looking to earn rewards, and even the beggars stopped being beggars and started staring at what others were saying.

The imperial physician came to examine Prime Minister Feng's injuries, but Prime Minister Feng stopped him.

"Wait a minute, I have something very important to do that I need to arrange first."

Prime Minister Feng doted on his youngest son, so he quickly summoned his trusted subordinate, "Zhao Quan, take your men and bring Yuan Xi back immediately."

Two days ago, Prime Minister Feng sent his youngest son, Feng Yuanxi, to be tied up and sent out of the capital to the Western Xia Kingdom.

Now that Qinghe County and Sicheng have been defended and the capital is still safe, it would definitely be better to bring my son back.

When the physician treated Prime Minister Feng's bruises, Prime Minister Feng cried out in pain.

"Hiss, that bastard Marquis Guiping really knows how to hit hard!"

These kinds of remarks are only meant to be made at home; one wouldn't dare call someone a grandson outside the home, since Marquis Guiping is the current emperor's maternal uncle.

If His Majesty finds out that he insulted Marquis Guiping, he will definitely make things difficult for him.

The Prime Minister's wife earnestly advised, "My lord, you should stay away from Marquis Guiping in the future. Also, please don't target that Miss Su again, or you might get hurt even more next time."

Prime Minister Feng was adamant: "No, I will never allow women to be given official positions. I was beaten today for the greater good, for the court, not for myself. It is a rule passed down from our ancestors that women cannot hold official positions."

Feng Xiaoshuang got angry. "Father, you're not targeting Miss Su at all, but all capable women, aren't you? You're clearly creating gender antagonism! You look down on me and Mother."

Moreover, this father favored sons over daughters, and when faced with danger, he only thought about protecting his older brother, sending only his brother to Xixia.

"I knew it! Miss Su is so outstanding, but you always target her. It's clearly jealousy, all because of your male chauvinism."

The Prime Minister's wife also said, "My lord, Qin Changfeng and Dong Zhu have all been granted official positions. If our son hadn't been kidnapped and brought back to the capital by you, he might have had a bright future with Miss Su. You think you're doing this for Yuanxi's own good, but you're actually harming him."

Prime Minister Feng would never admit, "Yuanxi is my most beloved child, how could I possibly harm him?"

He discovered that the women in the family all had their hearts set on that young girl.

Indeed, women should not be allowed to be on equal footing with men, otherwise the women in the family will surely rebel.

"What kind of woman lectures a man? That's truly outrageous. You and your daughter should go back inside and let me have some peace and quiet."

When Vice Minister Luo returned to the Luo residence from the palace, the gatekeeper handed him a letter.

"Sir, it's a letter from our hometown, Sicheng."

Vice Minister Luo knew that the letter must have been sent by a member of the Luo clan.

He opened the envelope and found that the letter was full of praise for the girl from Qinghe County.

They talked about how capable and amazing that little girl was.

[...I wonder which family that girl belongs to; she's truly enviable. Now that Sicheng is in that girl's hands, our clansmen depend on her for survival. I trouble you, Minister, to help us establish a good relationship between our clan and that girl.]

The letter was also accompanied by a 1,000 tael silver note.

Luo, the Vice Minister, had white knuckles and felt a mix of emotions.

Whose little girl is she? Of course, she belongs to the Luo family. It's just that he didn't seize the opportunity and failed to let the little girl be recognized by her ancestors.

If his clansmen in Sicheng knew about this, they would definitely call him stupid.

Therefore, the girl's identity must remain a secret and cannot be revealed to the clansmen of Sicheng for the time being.

Vice Minister Luo felt that the breakup with his family was a trap set by the young girl.

The little girl deliberately acted as if she wanted to surrender to the Prince of Huainan to scare him. He was afraid that the Luo family would be implicated in a rebellion, so he broke off the relationship.

The next day, when Prime Minister Feng went to court, he was terrified to see Marquis Guiping leading a large, snow-white dog.

He couldn't even defeat Gui Pinghou alone, let alone with a dog by his side.

Prime Minister Feng covered his mouth, silently reminding himself that he must be especially careful today and never mention the little girl from Qinghe County, lest he anger Marquis Guiping, that reckless man, again.

The official in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang, was always one to change his tune depending on the wind, so he quickly flattered him, saying, "My lord, your dog is truly beautiful; it's the most beautiful dog I've ever seen."

That's actually true, because the dog is indeed very good-looking.

Its eyes are as bright as glass, and its most beautiful feature is its fur, which is snow-white without a single stray hair, and every single hair is glossy.

Everyone who saw it wanted to go up and touch it.

Marquis Guiping was very proud and boasted, "This was a gift from my future daughter-in-law. I only sent some ordinary things to Qinghe County, but she sent me a search and rescue dog in return."

The ministers are very familiar with search and rescue dogs. During the last snow disaster relief effort, Miss Su used search and rescue dogs, and they were extremely efficient.

Later, when Gu's Teahouse auctioned off search and rescue dogs, the Sikong family raised the price to an astronomical ten thousand taels per dog.

Many ministers wanted to own one at the time, especially Vice Minister Luo, who had been eyeing it for a long time.

Many ministers felt that if Vice Minister Luo hadn't acted recklessly, he might have ended up like Marquis Guiping, receiving such an exorbitantly priced search and rescue dog.

I really don't understand what Minister Luo was thinking, pushing such an outstanding granddaughter further and further away.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely treat them very well.

Seeing the dejected look on Minister Luo's face, Minister Qin deliberately asked, "Miss Su is your own granddaughter, didn't you receive one?"

Vice Minister Luo wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground.

The dog seemed to understand what Marquis Guiping said, doing whatever he was told, sitting down when told to sit, and standing up when told to stand.

Marquis Guiping, leading his big white dog, couldn't stop smiling.

"My dog ​​is amazing. It can save people and help fight. If anyone dares to say anything bad about my future daughter-in-law, I'll unleash the dog on him."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Feng's legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and he felt as if he was about to collapse.

He respected no one but Marquis Guiping. This纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat) had no other skills in his life, only knowing how to run dogs and fight cocks.

She used to be protected by the Empress Dowager, and now she's pampered by that young lady surnamed Su. She's definitely a winner in life!

I heard that the young lady has a lot of treasures. This playboy, Marquis Guiping, will definitely receive many more novelties from her in the future. Sigh, just thinking about it makes me envious.

Luo Shilang's grandfather was truly unlucky!

After court, Marquis Guiping didn't even go home. Instead, he led his big white dog along the street, walking with an air of arrogance, showing off his dog everywhere.

It attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

The Great Qi Dynasty is quite different from modern times. In modern times, it is common to see someone walking a dog, but in the Great Qi Dynasty, it is extremely rare.

In Daqi, dogs are either tied up in one place or allowed to roam freely.

Marquis Guiping was the only one in the entire Great Qi who walked his dog around the streets like this.

The key is that the dog is as intelligent as a child, extremely smart, and will do whatever you ask, which makes everyone envious and want to own one.

At lunchtime, Lady Guiping asked, "Has the Marquis returned?"

"Reporting to Madam, the Marquis said he's going to walk the dog and won't be coming back."

Lady Hou smiled helplessly, "He's afraid I'll fight him for the dog."
