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

Late at night, Prime Minister Feng sent someone to the Luo residence to invite Vice Minister Luo to the Prime Minister's residence.

Vice Minister Luo thought something serious had happened, but he didn't expect that Prime Minister Feng had called him over that night to complain about Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Lord Zhang has gone too far."

"Your Excellency, there are two officials named Zhang in the Ministry of Personnel. Which one are you referring to?"

Prime Minister Feng's tone was sour, "It's Zhang Lang. He's returned to the capital, bringing back many gifts from Qinghe County. He's given gifts to many officials, but he didn't give any to me. Now he only associates with those who support Miss Su."

Vice Minister Luo couldn't believe it. Lord Zhang had always been a loyal follower of Prime Minister Feng. How could he suddenly start supporting that little girl?

His granddaughter is truly magical; she's so good at winning people over.

The official Zhang from the Ministry of Personnel was subdued after only a few days in Qinghe County.

Just like Wang Changxu, the strategist under the King of Huainan, who was said to be an extremely rare talent, proficient in astronomy and geography, when Wang Changxu went to Qinghe County to persuade the little girl to rebel, he was instead subdued and submitted by the little girl.

That's really good at bewitching people. Their Luo family ancestors didn't have such a talent. Could it be that the little girl developed it later in life?

The Prime Minister's wife, accompanied by her maid, was bringing tea to the study when she overheard two people inside belittling Miss Su.

He's already forgotten the pain as soon as the wound healed. It seems he'll have to be beaten by Marquis Guiping a few more times before he'll learn his lesson.

The Prime Minister's wife sighed, and instead of bringing the tea into the room, she turned back with her maid.

Sigh, her husband is so old, yet he's so jealous of that young girl. How shameful!

Judging from this omen, it's certain that the master will be beaten up by that Marquis Guiping again in a few days. I'll have to have someone buy more liniment for him.

Prime Minister Feng was tearing a piece of paper, tearing it with a bitter and resentful expression. "Moreover, after Zhang Lang returned to the capital, he praised that girl to the skies, saying that she was good in every way, and that the restaurant she ran was exceptionally good, unique in the entire Great Qi, and that the food sold there could rival the delicacies of immortals."

Vice Minister Luo objected, "How is that possible? A person's energy is limited. Since she is good at fighting, it is impossible for her to be more talented than ordinary people in other aspects. Lord Zhang's words are too exaggerated."

Zhang Lang, the Minister of Personnel, who had been the subject of heated discussions by Prime Minister Feng and Vice Minister Luo, lived a very comfortable life after returning to the capital.

Because his wife was from a collateral branch of the Mu family, one of the five great families, Lord Zhang specially sent delicacies such as roast duck and braised beef from Qinghe County to the direct descendants of the Mu family. He also sent a work by a talented painter that he had acquired for three thousand taels of silver.

The main reason was to cultivate a relationship; it would be a great honor to visit the Mu family during holidays.

Unexpectedly, after receiving the gift, the direct descendants of the Mu family invited him to the Mu family as a guest. Being hosted by one of the five great families was a very prestigious thing.

Lord Zhang is so busy that he doesn't even have time to go to the Prime Minister's residence.

He was incredibly clever; when he visited the Mu family, he discovered that the Mu family head valued that Miss Su highly.

After inquiring, they learned that the Mu family's direct descendants were stationed at the border city of Shacheng. It was thanks to the special iron crossbow provided by Miss Su that they were able to repel the attack of the northern barbarians. Therefore, the head of the Mu family valued Miss Su very much.

Lord Zhang then pretended to have a very good and close relationship with Miss Su.

"When I went to Qinghe County, Miss Su hosted banquets for me for two consecutive days."

Actually, because he was an imperial edict-bearer, the waiter took him to the main hall of Gu's restaurant for a meal. Miss Su didn't show her face at all during the meal; she was reportedly very busy.

Perhaps Miss Su has no idea that there is such a person as him in the Ministry of Personnel.

But Gu's Restaurant is owned by Miss Su, and the waiters are all Miss Su's people. They must be doing things according to Miss Su's orders. So it makes sense that he said Miss Su hosted a banquet for him!

"When I left Qinghe County, Miss Su gave me many gifts."

When he left Qinghe County, he received two packets of tea and four packets of rice candy from Gu's shop assistant. It is said that every imperial envoy who went to Qinghe County received similar gifts when he left.

But that doesn't stop Zhang Lang from bragging.

Although I only caught a glimpse of Miss Su from afar, it was still considered a meeting.

Zhang Lang presented the flower tea he obtained from Qinghe County to the head of the Mu family. He visited the Mu family several times and boasted about his good relationship with Miss Su. Before long, he received a big surprise: the Mu family actually proposed to marry his daughter!

The five great families hold an extraordinary position in the four kingdoms, and being able to form a marriage alliance with the direct line of the Mu family is an incredible stroke of luck!

What did he do in the Mu family? He didn't actually do anything; he just kept showing off his close relationship with Miss Su, and as a result, he got a fantastic marriage.

Therefore, the clever Lord Zhang discovered the immense benefits that Miss Su had brought him.

It turns out that Miss Su really is a lucky star, just as the people say. He only said many good things about Miss Su and thus benefited from her good fortune.

Lord Zhang now boasts to everyone he meets about how great his relationship with that Miss Su was in Qinghe County.

During the morning court session, Marquis Guiping once again brought up the great achievements of his future daughter-in-law, hoping that His Majesty would bestow even more rewards upon her.

Minister Zhang from the Ministry of Personnel stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Su should be granted an official position!"

Lord Zhang did not genuinely approve of granting official titles to women; he did not want women to be on equal footing with men.

He just wanted to publicly show his attitude, to show that he was on Miss Su's side, so that he could continue to benefit from Miss Su's good fortune.

He has truly enjoyed this blessing; being able to marry into the Mu family's direct line is a result of this good fortune.

Zhang Lang knew very well that countless people would oppose this, so even if he brought it up, it wouldn't work.

As expected, people from Prime Minister Feng's faction immediately stepped forward.

Prime Minister Feng, as the leader, was the first to step forward.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang went to Qinghe County and must have received a lot of benefits from Miss Su. He must have been bribed by her, which is why he's been praising her everywhere since he returned. Lord Zhang, can you honestly say you didn't receive any benefits from Miss Su?"

Zhang Lang silently took a step back, but fortunately someone blocked his way.

Marquis Guiping was holding a dog on a leash, and the dog was baring its teeth at Prime Minister Feng, which frightened Prime Minister Feng so much that he retreated repeatedly.

He didn't want to end up like last time, beaten black and blue by Marquis Guiping, with his whole body aching.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Guiping has allowed his dogs to commit atrocities. It would be unfair if he were not severely punished."

As soon as Prime Minister Feng finished speaking, he was pounced on by a large, snow-white dog.

Emperor Qi Jing gave his maternal uncle face, and only spoke after Prime Minister Feng's face had been scratched several times by dog ​​paws.

"Marquis Guiping, you have used your dog to commit crimes. I will confiscate your dog as punishment."

The emperor had long coveted this clever white dog, and now he could finally take it away legitimately, which made him extremely happy.

The dog was taken away by Grandpa Fu.

Luo, who was afraid of dogs, finally stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I am Miss Su's biological grandfather, so I have a lot of authority to speak on this matter. Although she is my blood relative, I cannot show favoritism towards her."

"That young girl is indeed too arrogant and doesn't respect His Majesty. If she truly cared about the court, she should have voluntarily given the silver mine to the court."

Even without his dog, Marquis Guiping was still a formidable fighter. He immediately threw a punch and beat up Luo Shilang, sending him fleeing in terror.

Since the Crown Prince of Gong got engaged to that Miss Su, Marquis Guiping, who used to sleep until noon, suddenly became diligent and came to attend the morning court every day, just to see who was talking badly about his future daughter-in-law.

Marquis Guiping now beats people almost every day, turning what should be a solemn and respectful morning court session into a marketplace.

Lord Zhang looked at Vice Minister Luo with sympathy. "Lord Luo, I warned you long ago that if you were beaten by the Marquis, it would be for nothing, and no one could stand up for you, but you just wouldn't listen."

Lord Zhang shook his head, thinking that this Vice Minister Luo was truly beyond redemption.

Even an outsider like him could benefit from currying favor with Miss Su, while his own grandfather, Minister Luo, went against her. It's foreseeable that Minister Luo will not have a good ending.

Emperor Jing of Qi was so annoyed by the commotion that he had already taken away the dog from Marquis Guiping, and it was impossible for him to impose any further punishment on Marquis Guiping.

He waved his hand and said, "Have the imperial physician come and examine Vice Minister Luo's injury. Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone else, you may leave the court."

Emperor Qi Jing was in a hurry to walk his dog, and he had only managed to snatch it after a great deal of effort.

That's a dog that Miss Su trained; I heard someone named it "Divine Dog."
