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

Miss Su's words seemed to be blessed, incredibly effective, and the news had spread throughout the entire capital.

Many families wanted to receive a blessing from Miss Su, so the Guiping Marquis's residence was extremely noisy.

All day long, many people come to my door with gifts, asking for my blessings.

During dinner at the Luo residence, Luo Mingzhen told everyone what she had heard.

"I went to a relative's house for a wedding banquet today. All the women were talking about Sister Su, saying that what she said was incredibly accurate, like it was blessed. They all wanted to receive Sister Su's blessing."

Her voice was full of pride, because Sister Su was her biological sister.

Luo Mingfang chuckled to herself. This Luo Mingzhen was really foolish. She knew that her grandfather disliked Miss Su, yet she still insisted on bringing up the most sensitive topic. No wonder she was not favored.

But soon, Luo Mingfang's smile faded.

Luo Mingzhen chuckled foolishly, "I said that Miss Su and I are cousins, and then I received a whole bunch of gifts from everyone."

She emptied the contents of her purse onto the table for everyone to see; inside were gold-inlaid jade hairpins, pearl bracelets, and other valuable items.

Luo Mingfang stared wide-eyed. She truly hadn't expected that being related to Miss Su would bring her such great benefits! It was truly enviable!

If anyone else wants to ask Miss Su for her blessed mouth, she can talk about her relationship with Miss Su in front of everyone.

Miss Su is a descendant of the Luo family, so by definition, she could be considered Miss Su's older sister.

Luo Mingfang's eyes flashed with calculation; she was very jealous that Mingzhen had obtained so many good things.

"Mingzhen, our household is currently in a situation where income is insufficient to cover expenses. As a member of the household, you have a responsibility to contribute your share."

Luo Mingzhen realized that her sister Mingfang wanted her to donate these valuable jewelry pieces; she was really playing a clever game.

If she hands over these valuables, her grandfather, who favors Luo Mingfang, will surely give them all to her.

Then everything will be in Mingfang's hands.

"No, these things were given to me by others because of Miss Su. Miss Su deserves most of the credit, and I can't keep them all to myself."

Luo Mingzhen decided to take these things to Miss Su and let Miss Su decide where they went.

The wife of the fifth brother, played by Luo, is usually quiet, but today she unexpectedly spoke up.

"I've heard that too. Everyone says that Miss Su's mouth is blessed, and whatever she says comes true."

Lu and Luo Yan had been married for several years but had not conceived. Every time she went out to a banquet, she was the target of ridicule.

She thought how wonderful it would be to receive a blessing from Miss Su! Perhaps she could even get pregnant through that opportunity.

Vice Minister Luo did not believe it. "It's just a rumor. If she had that kind of ability, whatever she said would be true. How could the city and silver mine have been taken away by me and Prime Minister Feng? Cough cough cough, I misspoke. It was the imperial court that took away the city and silver mine."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mingzhen couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Honestly, is it so hard to admit someone's excellence? Having a granddaughter who lives up to her word should be something to be proud of, but the grandfather refuses to acknowledge any of Miss Su's merits.

Moreover, my grandfather actually conspired with Prime Minister Feng to seize Miss Su's silver mine.

They don't seem like family at all; they seem like enemies.

After hearing what Vice Minister Luo said, Lady Lu felt very depressed.

It's all because this father-in-law is dim-witted, causing the Luo family and Miss Su to be at odds. That's why there's a sign outside the Guiping Marquis's mansion that says, "No members of the Luo family or dogs are allowed to enter."

She wanted to beg but didn't dare to go.

This father-in-law is truly muddle-headed; he pushes his own granddaughter far away, yet treats his fake granddaughter like a treasure.

Today, my sister-in-law from my maternal family came in person, and she was talking about Miss Su's blessed mouth.

My sister-in-law said that the Luo family and Miss Su are the true blood relatives, and they should get along well with Miss Su. Maybe with Miss Su's blessing, she can get pregnant.

Lady Lu's father was also a high-ranking official of the third rank in the imperial court. He even asked his sister-in-law to pass on a message, asking her to persuade Vice Minister Luo not to always target his own family in court, but to coax the young lady more. Becoming in-laws with the Marquis of Guiping's family was something many people would beg for.

Unfortunately, my father-in-law is stubborn and won't listen to any advice.

The more Madam Lu thought about it, the more distressed she became. She complained, "Father-in-law, why are you so cruel to your own granddaughter? Why are you targeting Miss Su at every turn? What is Miss Su to you?"

Minister Luo slammed his fist on the table in anger. What wrong had she done? That little girl had made far too many mistakes; they were simply too numerous to list.

"Women shouldn't meddle in men's affairs, Luo Yan. Are you even a man? If you can't manage your wife, I, as her father, will take it upon myself to divorce her."

Regarding Miss Su, Luo Yan had always held a strong grudge against Minister Luo, feeling that Minister Luo was too heartless in treating his own flesh and blood.

He felt that anyone would be extremely proud of their granddaughter's abilities.

But her own father was targeting his granddaughter at every turn.

Luo Yan was serving in the Five Cities Military Command, and on the day of the Flower Festival, he was sent to maintain order at Bibo Lake.

He felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Miss Su from afar.

He was Miss Su's uncle and could deeply understand the bond of blood. However, his father, Minister Luo, who was the young girl's grandfather, always treated her like an enemy.

So when they were by the Bibo Lake, Luo Yan really wanted to go up and say hello, but he felt powerless and thought that the Luo family was not worthy, so he didn't dare to go up in the end.

Luo Yan was heartbroken. "Father, you've pushed your own granddaughter further and further away. They say if you can't even sweep your own house, how can you sweep the world? You've failed so badly in your family affairs, how can you possibly command the court?"

Minister Luo never expected that his family members would all side with the outsider. These unfilial descendants had never even spent time with the girl, yet they all sided with her.

"Fifth brother, you've really gone too far! If you don't want to stay in this mansion anymore, then get out and leave the family. Let me tell you the truth, I won't give you a single penny of your unfilial son."

Luo Yan is stubborn. "Fine, I'll leave. I've long since stopped wanting to stay in this house. Leave all your money to your dutiful granddaughter Mingfang. I don't care about it."

After saying that, he left with his wife without even eating.

Minister Luo roared at the couple's retreating backs, "You'll regret this! You'll definitely regret this!"

Once the second son is assigned to manage the silver mine, the Luo family will gradually be able to regain its former wealth and status.

Moreover, the Murong family, one of the five great families, even invited him to do shipping business together. The Luo family's future prospects are limitless, so the fifth brother will definitely regret it.

Seeing that Vice Minister Luo looked unwell, Luo Mingfang asked with concern, "Grandfather, are you alright? I'll go and fetch a doctor for you."

"No need, I'm fine. My Mingfang is the most filial. If only the fifth son were half as sensible as you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mingzhen nearly vomited and lost her appetite, so she threw down her chopsticks and left.

Vice Minister Luo sighed and said, "Mingzhen is really outrageous. I'll have to talk to the fourth prince about this. He must teach Mingzhen a lesson."

Luo Yan and Madam Lu threw their clothes into the carriage and got in.

After the carriage left the gate of the Luo residence, Madam Lu burst into tears, crying helplessly.

"My wonderful niece is being pushed further and further away by her father-in-law. I want to ask for his blessing, but I feel ashamed."

Luo Yan gently patted his wife's back, silently comforting her.

After Lu Shi calmed down, she heard many people outside the carriage discussing the matter of the Marquis of Guiping's residence.

"Have you heard? The Guiping Marquis's mansion learned that Miss Su likes to eat elm seed steamed buns, so they sent out all of their dozens of servants to buy elm seeds. Miss Su is really favored in the Guiping Marquis's mansion."

"How enviable! Miss Su's future in-laws are truly wonderful."

"I heard that even the Crown Prince Gong personally went out of the city to pick elm seeds."

"The wealthier the family, the higher the status of the men, so they wouldn't lower themselves to do such menial work. But Prince Gong is different; he's willing to play a supporting role to highlight Miss Su."

"I saw Prince Gong and Miss Su at Gu's Tea House that day. Miss Su was eating pine nuts, and Prince Gong was sitting next to her, carefully peeling the shells. Everyone knows that pine nut shells are hard to peel, but Prince Gong was peeling them so happily, his face was smiling like a flower."

Mrs. Lu thought that since the niece was her own daughter, and she wanted to eat elm seeds, it just so happened that her estate had some.

"My lord, there are many elm trees on the estate I brought as part of my dowry. Since the young lady likes to eat them, why don't you take some people to pick more elm seeds and send them to the Marquis of Guiping's residence?"

Luo Yan also felt sorry for his niece who had been living away from home since she was a child. He heard that Miss Su had a very hard life in the countryside when she was young. Since she liked to eat elm seeds, he would send her more.

Luo Mingzhen also left the mansion before dark and went to Gu's Tea House.

After waiting outside the gate for half an hour, they finally saw Miss Su and Prince Gong come out together.

"Miss Su." Luo Mingzhen really wanted to call her sister, but she didn't dare.

"Miss Su, I went to a banquet at my relatives' house today. When the ladies there heard that I was your cousin, they gave me a lot of gifts."

Luo Mingzhen handed the purse containing the gift to Su Qianqian.

"These gifts were given out of respect for Miss Su, so I'm giving them to you to decide what to do with them."

Su Qianqian certainly wouldn't accept these gifts. They were all given to Luo Mingzhen by others and had nothing to do with her. She felt that Luo Mingzhen was too honest.

Being so honest, she'll definitely suffer if she's with Luo Mingfang.

Su Qianqian not only returned the purse, but also had Xu Ruoqian give Luo Mingzhen four bags of rice candy.

"Take it home and eat it."

Luo Mingzhen was so moved by the rice candy that she cried uncontrollably, wiping her tears with her sleeve.

In the past, whenever Grandpa bought rice candy, he would give it to Mingfang, never to her.

"Miss Su, may I call you sister?"

"Okay." Su Qianqian could tell that Luo Mingzhen was very straightforward, and it was easy to get along with her.

Upon hearing the word "good," Luo Mingzhen immediately stopped crying and smiled. From the first time she met Miss Su, she felt a special affinity for her and had long wanted to call her "elder sister."

That's wonderful! With Miss Su as her older sister, everyone will envy her when she goes out in the future.

And Prince Gong is now her brother-in-law.

"Sister, brother-in-law."

When Gong Yu heard that the young girl was calling him brother-in-law, he naturally had to give her a gift, so he directly slipped Luo Mingzhen a silver note with a thousand taels of silver.

Luo Mingzhen thought to herself: Look, how understanding and generous Sister Su is. If Grandfather had spoken to Sister Su nicely before, Sister Su would definitely not have let the Luo family go hungry.

Moreover, Grandfather doesn't need to queue up if he wants to eat rice candy; Sister Su will definitely send a lot of rice candy to the Luo family.

So, Grandfather really wasn't very smart.
