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

Hu Pingfan was particularly angry when he mentioned the information he had gathered.

Before becoming General Mu's advisor, he served as a strategist for a junior officer under General Xin.

I witnessed the atrocities committed by the Western Xia Dynasty firsthand.

The Western Xia treated the people of Daqi like livestock, slaughtering them at will, resulting in rivers of blood flowing along the border between Daqi and Western Xia.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians died tragically, yet the imperial court now treats the Western Xia people as honored guests!

Any man of Qi with a shred of spirit would be furious.

If General Xin knew that the Great Qi, which he had risked his life to protect, had forgotten the blood feud in just a few years, he would surely be so angry that he would jump out of his coffin.

"General Su, I am extremely angry. In order to demonstrate its friendship with Western Xia, the imperial court has actually ordered all medical clinics in the capital to provide free medical treatment to Western Xia merchants."

"They also ordered all restaurants to provide food and drink for Western Xia merchants free of charge, and all shops to offer free services to Western Xia people."

Hearing this, Su Qianqian felt that it was a good thing that Guose Tianxiang closed down. Otherwise, if Xixia merchants came to buy clothes wholesale, wouldn't they have to give them away for free? Who could afford to give them away?

So we might as well just close down Gu's Teahouse.

Su Qianqian called Xu Ruofeng, the manager of the teahouse, to the backyard.

"What are your orders, Master Su?"

"Ruofeng, put up a sign outside that says the teahouse offers new tea and snacks for early summer."

Xu Ruofeng has one advantage: he never asks why. No matter what Su Qianqian says, he will do it.

Because all the things that have happened in the past have shown that Su Dongjia has a reason for everything he does.

Xu Ruofeng immediately wrote a sign and placed it outside the teahouse entrance. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the teahouse was shut down by the government soldiers because it had the character "Xia" written on it.

"Ruofeng, Manager Zuo, who is known for her stunning beauty, has taken her staff to a manor in the outskirts of Beijing to rest. Why don't you take some people there for a while? They have food and lodging available."

After Xu Ruofeng and his men left, the teahouse became quieter than ever before.

Su Qianqian sat in the lobby on the first floor, looking at Lord Lin's information. She discovered that the Lin family actually owned thirteen shops in the capital.

Since Lord Lin himself set the rule that Western Xia merchants get everything for free in the capital, let's use the Western Xia people to deal with the Lin family.

It just so happens that she knows a Western Xia merchant surnamed Zhou, whom she met at Gu's Restaurant in Qinghe County. That merchant happens to be in the capital now.

That businessman surnamed Zhou particularly enjoys drinking flower tea; all it takes is sending him a packet of flower tea, and the matter will be settled.

"Shadow Eleven, I have a friend from Xixia named Zhou staying at the Yuelai Inn. You met him a couple of days ago. Go pick him up and we'll go shopping at the Lin family's shop together. Lord Lin himself said that everything is free for Xixia merchants, so let him experience what it's like to have it free."

"Yes, young lady."

Lord Xue was in charge of receiving the Western Xia Kingdom along with Lord Lin, but Lord Lin was the one making the decisions, and Lord Xue had no say in anything.

So when he heard that the Ministry of Revenue had shut down Miss Su's Guose Tianxiang Teahouse and Gu's Teahouse, he was very surprised and hurried to the teahouse to apologize, not wanting Miss Su to be angry with him.

Throughout the entire capital, he was not afraid of offending anyone, except for Miss Su.

If we offend Miss Su, we won't be able to get her ginseng when anyone in the family gets sick in the future.

But Miss Su went out, leaving only Hu Pingfan behind.

"Brother Hu, I'm sorry. Although His Majesty asked me and Minister Lin of the Ministry of Revenue to prepare for welcoming the distinguished guests from Western Xia, I actually have no say in anything. Minister Lin is in charge of everything. As for Miss Su's shop, I am powerless to help."

Hu Pingfan wasn't worried at all. "Lord Xue, don't you know? The shop was shut down voluntarily by Miss Su. Everything is under Miss Su's control."

"Fortunately, Lord Xue, you can't make the decision. If you had gone with Lord Lin, you would have been finished sooner or later. Our General Su is going to take action against Lord Lin. Just you wait, Lord Lin won't be able to cause trouble for more than two days."

Upon hearing this, Lord Xue's lifeless eyes immediately brightened.

Miss Su is finally going to make her move.

There's nothing Miss Su can't accomplish.

Miss Su is a lucky star; no one who opposes her ever comes to a good end.

For example, Prime Minister Feng targeted Miss Su all day long, and as a result, he broke his leg and even had difficulty walking.

Then there's Minister Luo. Because he opposed Miss Su, the Luo family became dirt poor, and the fourth and fifth branches of the family all left the mansion on their own. Minister Luo is now completely isolated and abandoned by everyone.

Lord Xue thought to himself that once Lord Lin was completely ruined by Miss Su, he would be able to take charge.

When the time comes, we must strive to restore the capital to its original state and prevent further chaos.

"Isn't Grand Secretary Liang supposed to live in the back courtyard? Why haven't we seen him?"

Hu Pingfan: "Grand Secretary Liang went to the palace to see His Majesty, saying he wanted to remonstrate with his life."

"Oh dear, Grand Secretary Liang cherishes these orchid seedlings the most. I'll go water them for him."

While helping to water the plants, he took out a sheepskin water bag from his waist and filled it with fertilizer water. He didn't dare to fill it too much, for fear that if the water bag bulged, it would arouse Hu Pingfan's suspicion.

Lord Xue took it home and gave it to his wife, who was suffering from a heart ailment and had a pale face.

Not long after drinking it, his wife sat up in bed, her face glowing with a healthy rosy color.

"Husband, which pharmacy did you buy this medicine from? It's amazing! My chest feels so much better after drinking it."

Lord Xue: "Shh, I'm telling you, this is divine water given by a goddess. Don't tell anyone."

Lord Xue believed that this fertilizer water could cure all diseases, so it was divine water, and Miss Su, who provided the divine water, was naturally a goddess.

It seems that only he knows this secret, which is really exciting!

Having received Miss Su's life-saving magic water, he had no way to repay her, and from now on, Xue Gui's life belonged to Miss Su.

That Lin fellow dares to oppose the goddess; he can only wait for his family to be destroyed.

Luo Yan, the fifth son of Vice Minister Luo, has been claiming illness and has not left his home these past few days because he does not want to do anything to harm the people.

His wife, Ms. Lu, ate crucian carp and tofu, and then vomited all over the floor.

Luo Yan was terrified and quickly summoned a doctor.

After taking Luo Yan's pulse, the doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, your wife is pregnant."

Luo Yan couldn't believe it. He had been married for many years and had never had a child. He had long since given up hope.

But I never expected that I would be pregnant now.

After seeing the doctor off, he and his wife, Madam Lu, sat facing each other, both with joy on their faces.

My long-cherished wish has finally come true.

Luo Yan was so happy he was practically dizzy with joy. "Honey, did the baby kick you?"

Madam Lu said reproachfully, "Husband, you are too impatient. The child is still too young."

She had been married to Luo Yan for many years and dreamed of having a child, but her wish had never come true.

Unexpectedly, after eating the food given to her by Miss Su, she soon discovered she was pregnant.

Just as the people said, Miss Su was indeed a woman of great fortune; anyone who came into contact with her would receive good luck.

Therefore, Madam Lu was very grateful to Miss Su: "Husband, we should thank Miss Su. This must be thanks to Miss Su. I heard that Fourth Sister-in-law was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed before, and she only got better after taking the medicine given to her by Miss Su."
