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

When Prime Minister Feng finished his morning court session, it was not yet noon.

He returned by carriage, and through the window, he noticed that there were almost no people along the way.

The small vendors we used to see every day have all disappeared.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the streets were deserted.

Strange, he had lived in the capital for decades and had never encountered such a peculiar scene.

After the carriage had traveled for a long time, they finally spotted two people, but what they said made Prime Minister Feng very uncomfortable.

"Everyone's gone outside the city to welcome the Goddess of War, Amu, why aren't you going yet?"

"I specially burned incense and bathed to show my respect for the Goddess of War. Fortunately, it's not too late. Let's go out of the city together to welcome the Goddess of War."

The two ran together toward the south gate.

Prime Minister Feng gritted his teeth: So the reason why the streets were deserted was because everyone went to see that Miss Su.

A female war goddess? It must be that the girl herself hired a storyteller to package herself as a female war goddess.

I really don't know what she was thinking. What does a young woman need such a great reputation for?

Women should be confined to the inner quarters, responsible for carrying on the family line and helping men take care of their elders, so that men can devote themselves wholeheartedly to their duties.

Prime Minister Feng decided that in the future, stricter laws should be enacted for women. Women should never be given such leeway, otherwise they would become incredibly arrogant.

When he returned to the Prime Minister's residence, he found that the small vendors outside the gate had also disappeared.

There was an unprecedented silence outside the door.

Before, when I entered and exited the gate, I always felt that those small vendors were an eyesore. Now that there are no people, it feels very deserted.

I heard that Miss Su wouldn't arrive in the capital until very late in the afternoon, but it's only noon now, and the people have all rushed outside the city to greet her.

Feng Chengxiang had been an official for decades, and this was the first time he had ever seen someone so beloved by the people.

It's certain that she felt jealous.

He knew that the little girl had won over a lot of public support when she came to Beijing last time to help with snow disaster relief.

But it doesn't matter, as time goes by, public sentiment will gradually cool down.

Prime Minister Feng stepped through the gate and was greeted by his wife and youngest daughter.

The Prime Minister's wife was in a great hurry. In order to see Miss Su, she changed more than a dozen outfits in the room in one morning before she could barely find a presentable one.

"Quick, Xiao Shuang, it's getting late, get in the carriage quickly."

"Okay, Mother."

The Prime Minister's wife ran all the way to the carriage outside the gate before turning back to Prime Minister Feng and saying, "We're going to see the prowess of the Goddess of War. Sir, you can have your lunch by yourself; there's no need to wait for us."

After saying that, he excitedly jumped onto the carriage with his daughter Feng Xiaoshuang and left.

Prime Minister Feng finally snapped, "Witch, she's an absolute witch!"

That Miss Su is simply a bewitching woman; she bewitched his entire family before she even arrived in the capital.

Prime Minister Feng kicked the stone lions outside the gate again and again, but the stone lions remained as steady as old dogs, and his feet hurt from the kicks.

The guards at the gate dared not speak; it was the first time they had ever seen the Prime Minister lose his composure so much, actually challenging the stone lions at the gate.

When Prime Minister Feng entered the mansion, he could not see a single servant.

Finally spotting a rough-looking old woman in the dining room, he immediately demanded, "What's going on? Where are all the servants who were supposed to be serving you today?"

"Reporting to Master, Madam has given the servants a holiday, allowing everyone to go outside the city to watch the excitement. I stayed behind because I sprained my ankle."

Prime Minister Feng casually ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, then completely lost his appetite.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What's so great about that little girl? I don't want to go see her."

As he spoke, he went to the stable and led a horse there.

It must be very crowded outside the city; riding a horse is much faster than taking a carriage.

He wanted to see what kind of magic that little girl possessed!

In the capital city, at the residence of General Shen, the Cavalry Commander.

Old Madam Shen was in good spirits, leaning on her cane to inspect the house and see if it was clean.

As she inspected the cleanliness, she asked her eldest daughter-in-law, who was standing beside her, "Is Mingyue Garden ready?"

Madam Shen replied with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, it was cleaned early this morning, and all the items in the room were chosen to be the best, guaranteed to satisfy Miss Su."

Madam Shen was also looking forward to Miss Su's arrival.

Originally, the Shen family was a military family and not well-regarded by civil officials, so they were never invited to many high-end banquets.

But ever since Gu Ying came to the capital, the Shen family has benefited from her presence. They were invited by Princess Zhaohua to attend several banquets, accumulating a lot of connections, and their daughter finally got engaged to a good match.

The Shen family has never been so glorious.

I heard that Princess Zhaohua only took care of the Shen family because of Miss Su, so everything is thanks to Miss Su.

Madam Shen then recalled that Ruoxuan had asked her to buy shops around Gu's Teahouse, but she hadn't, and she deeply regretted it.

The prices of shops around Gu Ji Teahouse have risen dramatically, almost tripling, and they're still soaring.

Therefore, Madam Shen decided that from now on, any business dealings involving Miss Su must be done.

Compared to Madam Shen's enthusiasm, Madam Lu, the second Madam Shen, looked somewhat displeased.

She had strong objections to preparing Mingyue Courtyard for Miss Su to live in.

"Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, Miss Su is the future daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Guiping's mansion, and she will definitely be living in the mansion. She would never look down on the Shen family, which is of ordinary social standing. Don't be so eager to please her and end up being snubbed."

Madam Shen, who had a good temper, explained, "It is not proper for someone to move into their husband's family home before marriage. Our Gu Ying is Miss Su's cousin, and the Shen family is Miss Su's only relative in the capital. She should stay at our house."

Moreover, Madam Shen knew that Miss Su not only had a good relationship with the Duke of Anguo's mansion, but she also heard that the dog Miss Su trained had saved the young master of the Sikong family.

If Miss Su lives in the Shen family, the Shen family might be able to establish a connection with the Sikong family.

If a family's child can marry into one of the five great families, they will be even less likely to be looked down upon in the future.

Madam Lu, the second wife of Shen, said again, "Then there's the Luo family too. The Luo family are the proper elders of Miss Su. It's no matter what, it's not the Shen family's turn."

Madam Shen grew impatient: "Don't mention the Luo family. That family only causes trouble for Miss Su. Second sister-in-law, I'm busy here and don't have time to chat with you."

Normally, the First Madam would give the Second Madam some face, but when it came to Miss Su, the First Madam Shen no longer tolerated it.

The second wife still had the nerve to mention the Luo family. To be honest, Madam Shen thought that Vice Minister Luo was incredibly stupid. He had such an outstanding granddaughter, yet he didn't cherish her and even tried to sever ties with the family, making it known to everyone in the capital.

Now, the whole capital knows that the Luo family was blind to the value of a gem, and that they were incredibly stupid.

Madam Shen returned to her courtyard in a huff.

In the afternoon, Granny Yang, the stewardess sent by the Lady of Guiping Marquis to pick up people outside the city, encountered Princess Zhaohua of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

Princess Zhaohua inquired and learned that Granny Cheng had come to snatch the person from her.

She immediately became extremely vigilant, determined not to let Miss Su be taken away by someone else.

From the very first correspondence with Miss Su, Princess Zhaohua had made up her mind that as long as Miss Su came to the capital, she would invite Miss Su to stay at the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

"Granny Yang, I've heard that it's not appropriate for a woman to live with her husband's family before marriage. I'm a good friend of Miss Su, and we have a close relationship. It would be more appropriate for her to live in our Duke Anguo's mansion. Don't worry, I will definitely treat your future young mistress of the Marquis Guiping's mansion as a sister."

The maidservant beside the princess felt a little guilty. Her princess had never met Miss Su before, yet she spoke as if she were very familiar with her. She just hoped that Granny Yang wouldn't see through her act.

After careful consideration, Granny Yang realized that what the princess said made a lot of sense.

It is indeed inconvenient for an unmarried girl to live in her future husband's family home, so Miss Su certainly wouldn't choose to return to the Marquis of Guiping's residence.

It's a pity. Lady Hou was so excited last night that she didn't sleep a wink while decorating Miss Su's room. She'll definitely be very disappointed.

"Thank you for taking care of our future young mistress, Princess. But this old servant will remain outside the city so that I may convey the Marquis's greetings to Miss Su if I encounter her."

Princess Zhaohua smiled and said, "Alright, let's go together."

The two groups merged into one, and soon Princess Zhaohua encountered Madam Shen again.

Madam Shen also personally came out of the city to pick them up.

"Greetings to the Princess."

"Madam Shen, there's no need for such formalities."

Because of Su Qianqian's request, Princess Zhaohua often visited Gu Ying at the Shen residence, and thus became acquainted with Madam Shen.

Madam Shen explained, "I came to welcome Miss Su on my mother-in-law's orders. After all, Miss Su is Gu Ying's cousin, and we are related."

Granny Yang from the Guiping Marquis's residence chuckled to herself. See? Friends can't compare to relatives. It's more suitable for Miss Su to stay at the Shen residence. It seems Princess Zhaohua can't find anyone to take her in either.
