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

There are many thorns in the mountains, and they prick quite painfully.

Su Qianqian stretched out her withered, claw-like hand to remove the thorns from her foot and continued walking along the path she had cleared yesterday. Soon she arrived at the familiar stream.

Yesterday I was so focused on the wild vegetables that I didn't notice the stream. There were fish swimming happily in it, and they were quite big.

It's good to be in a place overgrown with thorns; I'm sure no one has ever been to this stream.

Su Qianqian used gravel and mud to build a dam, blocking the stream.

She doesn't need a fish basket to catch fish; she simply transfers the intercepted section of the stream into her spatial dimension.

In the blink of an eye, the stream was dry, leaving only fish with their white bellies turned up, struggling in the mud.

We've got fish to eat!

Su Qianqian took off her straw sandals and stepped into the mud. Her injured feet hurt when they got wet, but she was happy despite the pain because there were quite a few fish in the stream.

Space is amazing, catching fish is so easy with it.

One, two, three—the two bamboo baskets were soon filled.

I remember the wild amaranth that had wilted in the sun yesterday, but it instantly became fresh and vibrant after being washed with water from the space well.

Su Qianqian didn't add much well water. She took out a wooden bucket from her space, filled it halfway with stream water, and then added a few drops of well water from her space. She gave the fish a bath, and sure enough, the fish's scales instantly became shiny.

With such good quality, it should sell very well, right?

Su Qianqian picked some wild amaranth, washed it with stream water infused with spiritual spring water from her space, tied it into small bundles with thatch, and placed it on top of the bamboo basket to cover the fish.

That way, the fish won't be spotted when we go down the mountain.

Moreover, wild amaranth can also be sold for money.

Su Qianqian happily carried one basket on her back and another, presenting both baskets of fish to Su Ping'an, which surprised him.

"Little sister, am I dreaming?"

The fish in the rivers of the surrounding villages had long been caught by the hungry villagers.

I never expected my sister to catch such a plump fish. Just look at its shiny scales, and you can tell it's of good quality. If we take it to a wealthy family in the county town, we're sure to get a good price for it.

Grandma always calls my little sister a jinx, but she's definitely wrong. My little sister is clearly a lucky star.

"Little sister, you're amazing! You caught so many fish. Everyone else would be so envious if they saw this."

"Yes, there are quite a lot. We caught them from the mountain streams."

Judging from his sister's tone, it seemed easy, but he had seen groups of people going into the mountains every day while he was chopping wood, and none of them had caught any fish. So his sister was really better.

Seeing that her older brother was about to continue chopping firewood, Su Qianqian quickly stepped forward and snatched the wood-chopping knife from Su Ping'an's hand, urging, "Brother, let's hurry up and get to the county town to sell fish. Even if you work your ass off and chop more firewood, Grandma will still scold you when you get home. You might as well just lie down."

"Little sister, what does 'lying flat' mean?"

"Oh, so it means doing nothing and just enjoying life every day."

Su Qianqian wanted to take the opportunity to go to the county government office to ask Constable Lin about the reward money and the human traffickers.

"Brother, let's hide the money from selling the fish. Parents and Xiaobao are always hungry, we can't be blindly filial. And your leg needs money to be treated too."

"Okay, I'll do whatever my sister says."

The two siblings covered the amaranth with some wild grass to disguise themselves before setting off.

When the two left the village entrance, they were seen by Sun, who only saw the thatch covering the basket.

Sun was a shrewd woman; she knew that Su Ping'an and his sister couldn't possibly bring two baskets of grass down the mountain.

Sun deliberately leaned closer to see what was in the basket, but before her hand could even touch it, Su Qianqian pushed her away.

"Qian girl, why did you push me? You used to be so obedient to me. You never dared to go west when I told you to go east, and you never dared to chase chickens when I told you to beat a dog."

"You said it yourself, that was in the past. Now I have a grudge against your family, so stay away from me, or I might lose control and go berserk. Your precious son and daughter's faces are still swollen, aren't they? Do you want to try it too?"

Sun cherished her face the most, and was so frightened that she quickly covered her face and ran away.

Indeed, only mad literature works best.

Su Qianqian rolled her eyes and left the village entrance with her brother, carrying their baskets.

Su Qianqian had only gone halfway when she got blisters on her feet. Luckily, she ran into Zhu Zi, who was driving a horse-drawn carriage.

"Miss Su, is that you? And who is this gentleman beside you?"

Su Ping'an was not used to interacting with people, and this was the first time he had been addressed as "Young Master," so he was very uncomfortable. He blushed, lowered his head, and dared not say anything.

At this critical moment, Qianqian had to come to the rescue. "Brother Zhuzi, this is my older brother, Su Ping'an. Brother Zhuzi, where are you going?"

"The young lady asked me to bring you some snacks, and also to ask if it would be convenient for her to come to Lotus Village."

Su Qianqian quickly refused, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient right now. I'll go and play with Baozhu myself when I have time."

If Baozhu comes to Lotus Village, her luxurious carriage will surely cause a sensation.

The family hasn't separated yet. If the old lady finds out that the third branch of the family has become sycophantic towards the Meng family, this cash cow, she definitely won't be willing to separate the family.

Nothing is more important than dividing the family property now.

"Miss Su, Mr. Su, I'll take you to the county town."

"Okay, thank you."

Zhu Zi enthusiastically helped carry the fish basket into the carriage.

Su Ping'an felt particularly awkward riding in such a luxurious carriage for the first time, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet.

I was afraid that if I got my clothes dirty while chopping wood, and my shoes weren't clean, I would also get the carriage dirty.

After finally making it into the county town by carriage, Su Ping'an finally felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

Su Qianqian felt that her brother was too shy. He didn't even dare to speak to strangers. This wouldn't do.

If she goes traveling and is not at home in the future, her brother will not be able to support the family.

Zhu Zi suggested, "Miss Su, since you've come all the way to the county town, could you please visit the Meng residence? Our young lady doesn't have many friends, but she misses you dearly and talks about you all the time."

Just then, Su Qianqian also wanted to go to the Meng residence to deliver some fresh fish, tell Baozhu not to go to Lotus Village for the time being, and also to go to the county government office to inquire about the reward money.

"Brother, you sell the fish by yourself first, I have something to take care of."

Su Ping'an had overheard his sister's quiet explanation on the way: she met the owner of Meng's Dim Sum Shop because she had been abducted, and this matter should not be spread.

That hateful Fang Cheng! He actually dared to sell his sister to human traffickers. I'll definitely give him another beating next time I see him.

Su Ping'an clenched his fist. "Don't worry, little sister, I'll sell the fish."

Su Qianqian picked out two fat fish, each a foot long, tied them with straw rope, and prepared to send them to the Meng family. She also took two bunches of wild amaranth.

She followed the pillar into the gate of the Meng residence and found that the Meng residence was very large, with artificial hills, pavilions and waterside terraces, unlike a simple merchant's family.

The Seven Treasures Garden in the Meng family mansion was a small courtyard where Meng Baozhu lived alone.

At this moment, Meng Baozhu was sitting in her courtyard brewing tea, drinking tea and talking with her cousin, the Crown Prince. She answered his questions about being abducted by human traffickers last time, but she seemed distracted.

Like her mistress, Chun Tao was a lively and energetic girl. She rushed in through the archway to deliver a message: "Miss, great news! Miss Su, whom you've been longing for, has come to our residence."

Baozhu stood up and ran, but stopped after a few steps, lifting her skirt and asking Chuntao, "Chuntao, look at me! Do I look good today? Will Sister Meng like it?"

Today, Meng Baozhu is wearing a ruqun embroidered with peony flowers, a pink pearl hairpin on her head, a jade necklace of the same color on her chest, and pink embroidered shoes adorned with pearls.

When Chuntao said it looked pretty, the little girl lifted her skirt and ran away, causing the hair ornament on her head to fall to the ground, which Chuntao picked up.

Gong Yu was left alone in Qibao Garden. He sighed to himself that his cousin must really lack friends to be so enthusiastic about the only girl she knew.

It just so happens that he has long admired Miss Su's reputation. She is capable of killing the most wanted person on the imperial court's list, so he should indeed take a look at her.

Gong Yu stood up, straightened his clothes, and asked his attendant Mo Xiaobei, "Do I look alright dressed like this?"

Today, Gong Yu wore a moon-white robe, and her hair was simply tied up with a white jade hairpin. Even with such a simple outfit, she looked like an immortal.

Good-looking people look good in anything.

Mo Xiaobei reminded him, "Young Master, you're just going to see a village girl."

He found it quite strange that the young master had suddenly become so concerned about appearances? All for the sake of meeting a peasant girl! How odd!

"Xiao Bei, you mustn't be rude. Miss Su is my cousin's savior, so you should treat her with respect."
