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

Minister Luo was really angry. The mother and daughter from the fourth branch of the family said that the Luo family was ruthless and heartless, and that he was abandoned by everyone.

Those aren't good words at all.

Vice Minister Luo didn't think he was wrong; if he was wrong, it was always someone else's fault.

When he first learned that Su Qianqian was his biological granddaughter, he was happy, after all, that girl was really too outstanding.

Later, the King of Huainan sent people to persuade the girl to defect, but she deliberately delayed showing her loyalty to the Great Qi. Therefore, fearing that the girl would betray the country, he made a mistake and broke off the marriage with her.

He was thinking of the bigger picture; he couldn't let the entire Luo family be executed because of a little girl.

He was only thinking of the Luo family's best interests, but none of the younger generation in the Luo family could understand him.

Oh no, only Mingfang can understand him as her grandfather, and only Mingfang is reasonable. So is it wrong for him to favor Mingfang?

As for his constant attacks on that girl in court, it was all for her own good. A tall tree catches the wind, and by suppressing that girl's limelight, he was also thinking of her well-being.

Luo Mingzhen overturned the original food, and the maidservant served it again.

Luo Mingfang placed the lotus seed porridge, which was Luo Shilang's favorite drink, in front of him, and then scooped a large spoonful of Mapo Tofu for him.

"Grandfather, please don't be angry anymore. Getting angry is bad for your health."

Vice Minister Luo was very pleased, "Mingfang is such a sensible girl."

He was so angry he wanted to leave, but since his most filial granddaughter had put food on his plate, he was bound to eat it.

The fourth madam had no appetite and took Luo Mingzhen back to her own courtyard to start packing.

"Mingzhen, there's nothing to miss about the Luo family. Let's rent a small courtyard house outside."

The only pity is that I couldn't get a divorce agreement or a letter of separation.

The fourth wife's father was originally an official in the capital, but he was demoted and sent away from the capital five years ago.

Therefore, the Fourth Madam had no one to rely on in the capital. After the mother and daughter moved out of the Luo residence, they had to rely on themselves.

"Mingzhen, if I'm gone one day, go and seek refuge with Miss Su. Miss Su is a good person; you can leave with peace of mind if you go with her mother."

Luo Mingzhen's eyes welled up with tears. "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you cured? Mother, you will never leave me."

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, their tears soaking their clothes.

"Mother, there's always a way out. No matter how bad things are outside, they can't be worse than the Luo family's. Once we make some money, we'll buy Miss Su some nice things to thank her."

The fourth madam nodded, "We should thank Miss Su properly."

Lord Xue, who had previously gone to the Luo residence to gather information, had been keeping an eye on the Luo family. Upon hearing that the fourth mistress of the Luo family had only recovered from her illness a few days earlier, he knelt and bowed three times and went to the White Horse Temple outside the city to pray for Miss Su.

So it must be thanks to Miss Su that Madam Luo was able to recover from her illness. Otherwise, Madam Luo wouldn't have prayed so sincerely for Miss Su so soon after recovering, and I heard that her knees were bruised from kneeling.

Could it be that Miss Su is truly a lucky star?

Lord Xue thought that since his father's illness was incurable anyway, he might as well try anything and learn from the Fourth Madam's treatment methods.

According to the servants of the Luo family, the fourth mistress of the Luo family recovered from her illness after eating the peanuts that Miss Su had touched.

So all he needs to do is find a way to get the food that Miss Su touched, and that should be enough.

The question is, how can he approach Miss Su? How can he obtain the food that Miss Su has touched?

He dared not go to the residence of Marquis Guiping, because Marquis Guiping was a bit abnormal. He would beat people at the slightest disagreement and could not bear to see anyone wrong his future daughter-in-law.

For example, Prime Minister Feng was beaten by Marquis Guiping for targeting Miss Su multiple times, which was terrible.

Therefore, Lord Xue felt it was safer to ask Miss Su for help outside the Marquis's residence.

He went around trying to find out the latest news about Miss Su.

Upon learning that Miss Su had been invited by Minister Qin to visit disabled veterans outside the city with the Qin family the next day, I was deeply moved.

Perhaps tomorrow will be the best opportunity.

Lord Xue and his wife searched through the Xue family's treasury and decided to donate 10,000 taels of silver to Miss Su the next day in hopes of leaving a good impression on her.

Su Qianqian was busy until very late that night, mainly making sponge cakes to take to the veterans the next day.

The kitchen of the Marquis of Guiping's residence was very large, and many people helped her, making it very lively. The counter was filled with eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and lard.

Gong Yu was mainly responsible for helping to beat the egg whites, which was hard work.

There are no electric egg beaters here at Daqi; egg whites are beaten entirely by hand.

The better the egg whites are whipped, the softer and more fluffy the resulting sponge cake will be.

Gong Yu is quite skilled; she managed to whip a large bowl of egg whites into a pure white frosty consistency using only a pair of bamboo chopsticks.

He reached out and tugged at Su Qianqian's sleeve. "Is this enough?"

Su Qianqian took a chopstick and placed it in the bowl of egg whites; the chopstick stood upright very steadily.

"Good, this level is fine."

Lady Guiping found it particularly strange, never having imagined that egg whites could be beaten into a snow-white paste.

Seeing her own son's face covered in white flour, she found it quite funny.

This son used to never step into the kitchen, but now he's willing to do anything for the girl he loves. It's wonderful. I hope the two of them get married soon so she can hold her grandson.

Soon, the fresh milk sponge cakes were ready, and the aroma of the sponge cakes filled the entire mansion.

Even the night watchmen walking on the street outside smelled the fragrance and took a deep sniff.

He had worked as a night watchman in the capital for over a decade, traversing every street and alley, and this was the first time he had ever smelled such a fragrant aroma.

I don't know exactly what delicious food it is, but I'm sure it's a delicacy that even the gods would find hard to resist.

Su Qianqian urged everyone, "Hurry up and try it!"

It contains spiritual spring water, and I hope that it will help the wounded veterans strengthen their bodies after they consume it tomorrow.

Moreover, the addition of spring water made the sponge cake taste even more perfect.

Lady Guiping made a heart-shaped sponge cake and found that its tender yellow color and glossy appearance were very beautiful, so she couldn't bear to eat it.

"Why do I feel like this sponge cake looks a bit like the signature sponge cake from Meng Ji Dim Sum Shop?"

Xiangming nodded: "Madam is right, Mengji's recipe was indeed bought from Miss."

Lady Guiping felt increasingly proud. "My daughter-in-law is so capable. Yu'er, you must pamper such a good daughter-in-law. If you ever dare to bully Qian'er, I'll break your legs."

"Mom, don't worry, even if Qianqian wants the stars in the sky, I will find a way to get them for her."

Lady Hou took a bite of the sponge cake. It was soft and fluffy, like a cloud, sweet but not cloying, and tasted even better than the ones sold at Mengji Pastry Shop.

Good heavens, what divine delicacy is this!

Lady Guiping, without realizing it, finished the entire plate, and her stomach was so bloated that she had to be helped back to her room.

Su Qianqian put all the sponge cakes away before returning to her bedroom.

Gong Yu quickly knocked on the door and entered the house, carrying a red plum porcelain bowl filled with warm goat milk.

"Girl, drink it while it's hot."

He knew that Su Qianqian had a habit of drinking a cup of warm milk before bed, so he would personally bring her a cup every day.

While Su Qianqian was drinking goat milk, he affectionately patted her hair.

It's black and smooth, and feels amazing.

Su Qianqian had just finished soaking her feet, and the ground was a bit slippery with water. Gong Yu accidentally slipped and fell forward.

He pounced on Su Qianqian and pinned her down on the bed.

In the quiet of the night, two young and restless hearts beat with extraordinary force.

Their lips drew incredibly close.

Su Qianqian thought Gong Yu would kiss her, but Gong Yu forced himself to stand up.

"Girl, don't be afraid."

Su Qianqian: What am I afraid of! In the world before I transmigrated, hugging and kissing between men and women was perfectly normal!

She particularly admired Gong Yu; he was so restrained and courteous.

But this time she really couldn't resist. She grabbed Gong Yu's collar, pulled him back, and kissed him with her red lips.

It's fragrant and soft, like a cloud.

After a stick of incense had burned, Gong Yu got out of bed, his eyes shining like jewels, his face as red as a boiled shrimp.

"Girl, I'll have Xiangming come in and wipe your feet. If you don't dry them soon, you'll catch a cold."

His voice was extremely hoarse, and he knew he should take a cold shower.

Su Qianqian stretched out her fair right foot toward Gong Yu and said coquettishly, "I don't want Xiangming to wipe it, I want you to wipe it."
