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

Knowing that the Crown Prince was one of her own, Madam Wang had no need to hide anything, so she respectfully told him everything she knew.

This includes details unknown to the government, which were personally described by Baozhu.

For example, Miss Su swam exceptionally fast; Miss Su dodged the human trafficker's darts; Miss Su lifted a huge blue stone and smashed the human trafficker to death in the lake; Miss Su encountered a wild boar at night and climbed a tree.

Gong Yu appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly shocked.

Li, the deadly flying knife master, is ranked number one on the government's wanted list. His darts are said to hit the target every time. That girl surnamed Su actually dodged several of his darts in a row. She is truly an extraordinary woman. No wonder my cousin keeps talking about Miss Su.

Gong Yu was very fortunate that Baozhu escaped unharmed; otherwise, her aunt's body might not have been able to withstand it, and her own mother would have been heartbroken.

At the same time, Gong Yu also grasped the strangest point of the matter.

According to Wang's mother, the "Sister Su" mentioned by her cousin was a farm girl.

It's highly illogical that an ordinary farm girl could possess such abilities, rescuing her cousin from human traffickers and even killing the number one wanted criminal on the imperial court's wanted list.

Li, the master of the deadly flying knife, is extremely skilled. The government has offered a reward for over ten years but has failed to catch him. He often commits crimes to make his presence known and deliberately provokes the government.

Before coming to the Meng residence, Gong Yu went to the county government office first.

The entire county government office is now decorated with lanterns and streamers, as lively and festive as during the Spring Festival, celebrating the great achievement.

Qinghe County hadn't cracked down on a human trafficking gang for over a decade. This time, they dismantled a large gang of more than ten people and captured Li, the leader of the deadly flying knife gang, who was caught in the lake.

When the constables arrived, Deadly Flying Knife Li was already dead, floating on the lake.

Although he was dead, he was still a wanted criminal whom the imperial court desperately sought but could not obtain.

The county constable will surely be promoted for this great achievement, and many soldiers and constables will also be rewarded. It's truly a case of "when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs rise to heaven."

Seeing how fascinated Baozhu was by that Miss Su, he wanted to meet Miss Su and see if she had three heads and six arms.

How could an ordinary farm girl "casually" kill a powerful figure like Li, the master of deadly throwing knives? Was there some unknown secret behind it?

Mrs. Wang described her shock upon seeing Miss Su: "That girl was so thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away, yet she stood as tall as a pine tree, making her impossible to underestimate."

When the Meng family lived in the capital, Wang Mama had met many young ladies from prominent families, but she felt that Miss Su had more presence.

"That girl's demeanor was truly exceptional, surpassing many young ladies from wealthy families. Her eyes were also very pure, unlike those of a scheming person."

Gong Yu nodded, "I will find an opportunity to meet that Miss Su and thank her properly for saving my cousin."

Madam Wang was very surprised: ? ? She never expected that the young master would intend to meet that Miss Su in person.

Madam Wang sensed that the young master seemed very curious about that Miss Su.

I heard that when the Crown Prince was in the capital, he avoided women like the plague, but now he says he wants to see that Miss Su in person instead of sending someone to see her.

Some men's attraction to women begins with curiosity.

Madam Wang shook her head. She was really overthinking things. The two hadn't even met yet, and she was already fantasizing about pairing the young master with that Miss Su.

If the heir apparent prefers a peasant girl, the Marquis of Guiping's household will certainly not be happy about it.

Even His Majesty wouldn't want his cousin to marry a peasant girl.

Su Qianqian was unaware of the major events happening in the county town. She was just an ordinary person who only wanted to share the wild eggs she had found during the day with her parents.

By late at night, most of the lights in Lotus Village had been turned off.

Grandma Su and the first and second wives had all gone to sleep. Su Qianqian took out the eggs she had hidden during the day and handed them to her parents, preparing to discuss the division of the family property.

"Dad, Mom, these are wild eggs we picked up in the mountains during the day. They're already cooked. You should eat them. My older brother, Xiaobao, and I have already eaten."

The voice was kept extremely low.

Because the window of the woodshed was broken, the noise could be heard by the people in the second room next door.

Madam Gu was both happy and worried. "My Qianqian is really amazing. So many people go into the mountains and come back empty-handed, but my Qianqian was able to find wild eggs. But listen to your mother, we shouldn't go into the deep mountains anymore. It's very dangerous there."

Even Su Bing, who wasn't very talkative, said, "Last month, the widow Wang from the village went deep into the mountains to look for wild vegetables. When the villagers found her, she had been gnawed by wild animals, leaving only a pair of embroidered shoes and a few pieces of broken bones. Her remains were incomplete, so she probably won't be able to be reincarnated in her next life."

Su Qianqian knew that the villagers weren't afraid of death, but rather superstitiously believed that those who died without a complete body could not be reincarnated.

Menghu Mountain stretches for dozens of miles and spans hundreds of villages.

Even knowing the dangers in the mountains, many villagers still go in groups every day and come out empty-handed.

With food and water scarce these days, it's impossible not to go into the mountains; I can't just watch my family starve to death.

Su Qianqian is confident in her own safety.

As long as you don't bring your baby, you can hide in a space or climb a tree if you encounter danger on the mountain.

Growing up in an orphanage with no one to care for him, he was a free spirit and was known for his fast tree climbing skills before he transmigrated.

Some trees in the mountains are hundreds of years old, thick and sturdy, and even wild boars, tigers, and bears cannot knock them down.

Searching for things in the mountains is like treasure hunting, which is quite interesting.

Su Qianqian felt that the most important thing right now was to separate the family, and she needed to test her family's thoughts beforehand.

"Father, Mother, do you want to separate the family?"

Gu Shi's eyes immediately reddened as she recalled the past: "Of course I wanted to. You and Ping An are both adults now, and it really doesn't look right for you to squeeze into the same small room with us. But your grandmother wouldn't agree. Your father said it twice, and your grandmother made a huge scene in the village twice, each time threatening to kill herself and even saying she would go to the county government to sue your father for being unfilial."

The old lady threatened suicide to force Gu's family to give her most of their dowry.

They used to say it was for safekeeping, but now they're saying it's her retirement money and there's no way she can get it back.

Su Bing also felt sorry for his daughter, "Qianqian, since you want to separate from the family, Dad will find a way to bring it up with your grandma again."

Su Bing is honest and kind, but not particularly stupid. His children are all as thin as bamboo poles, how could a father not feel sorry for them!

The old lady only gave the best food to the children of the first and second wives; she was truly biased.

It's all his fault as a useless father. He's not favored as a father, which has dragged down his three good children.

Most people have three rooms in their first or second house, but he only has one. I heard from his wife that he snores loudly when he sleeps, which must often wake up the children.

It's not good for growing children to not get enough sleep.

When the family separates, we will try our best to provide the children with their own rooms.

Furthermore, with winter fast approaching, the old lady certainly won't allow the third branch of the family to make winter clothes this year. Her daughter will be left wearing only thin clothes and sleeping on a stone bed, how pitiful.

The window of this woodshed is broken, and the cold wind howls in during winter, so you must be shivering every day.

Su Bing didn't want his daughter to fall seriously ill from the cold like last year. Back then, the old lady wouldn't give him money for medicine, so he risked his life to dig up herbs in the deep mountains to save his daughter.

The thought terrifies me. If my daughter falls ill again this winter, I, as her father, will have committed a grave sin.

Su Bing was determined this time. "Daughter, since you want to separate the family so much, even if people point fingers at me and say I'm unfilial, I will still separate the family. I'll go to the main house tomorrow to discuss this matter."

"Father, there's no rush. This needs the right timing. Eldest brother, what about you? What are your thoughts?"

Su Ping'an has a physical disability, but his self-esteem is stronger than most people's: "I... I also want to separate from the family. Although I am lame, hard work can make up for my shortcomings. I will definitely be able to support you if I work from dawn till dusk."

Xiao Bao eagerly chimed in, "I also want to separate the family. If we separate, Grandma won't be able to scold my older sister and older brother every day."

Su Qianqian was relieved to be certain that her family wanted to separate.

She was afraid that when she tried to separate from the family, her parents and older brother would disagree.

As long as the family is united, that's all that matters.

Su Qianqian had already thought it through regarding the division of the family property.

The first and second wives never do any work; they all rely on the third wife.

The old lady wished she could suck the blood of the third branch of the family for her entire life, so she was unwilling to give it up.

To successfully divide the family, the first step is to create a crisis for the third wife, a very big one.

When the time comes, the old man, the old woman, and the first and second wives will definitely separate the third wife's family out of fear of being implicated by the third wife's family.
