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

Lord Xue was so happy he was practically dizzy with joy.

"How could I accept this? I only sent over three packets of the antidote, but I received sixty packets in return."

Hu Pingfan patted Lord Xue on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xue, don't worry about it. Miss Su is the most loyal and affectionate person in the world. If you give her an inch, she will give you ten feet in return."

Lord Xue smiled so much his eyes narrowed into slits, "Yes, yes, Miss Su is the most loyal and affectionate person in the world."

Lord Lin looked at Lord Xue as if he were a fool.

This Lord Xue is a complete fool. He exchanged three packets of genuine medicine for so many fake ones, without even realizing it, yet he's still grateful and praising Miss Su to the skies. What a idiot!

Hu Pingfan had always been thinking about helping Miss Su win people's hearts.

He whispered in Lord Xue's ear, "You can't possibly use all this medicine. You might as well take some out to help Miss Su build relationships. We're both Miss Su's people, and we must do anything for her."

Hu Pingfan then took out five packets of snake repellent and five packets of antidote, and stuffed them all into Lord Xue's hands.

He whispered in Lord Xue's ear, "These were given to me by Miss Su. I'm giving them all to you, not a single one. You must help Miss Su build good relationships with people outside."

"When Miss Su makes another great contribution in the future, we must join forces with more officials to help her rise to a high position."

Lord Xue nodded vigorously, "Brother Hu, rest assured, I understand."

He thought that since Hu Pingfan had already brought out all of them, he should also bring out all sixty packages to give as gifts.

This thing is now so expensive that you can't buy it even if you have money; it will definitely help Miss Su win over many people's hearts.

Lord Lin knelt on the ground, watching Lord Xue and the goatee embrace and whisper among themselves.

That goatee's mouth was almost touching Lord Xue's ear; he was truly shameless.

Lord Lin was quite certain that Lord Xue was indeed a homosexual, just as rumored, and that he preferred people with unusual appearances, such as goatees.

As he was complaining in his heart, he saw Feng Yuanxi, the youngest son of Prime Minister Feng, come over.

As soon as Feng Yuanxi arrived, he warmly hugged the goatee.

Lord Lin was even more astonished. It turned out to be a love triangle! How terrifying!

We must hurry and have someone inform the Prime Minister.

Feng Yuanxi glanced warily at Lord Lin kneeling on the ground, then turned his back to Lord Lin and quietly took out two packets of medicine from his pocket, stuffing them into Hu Pingfan's hand.

He said to Hu Pingfan in a voice only the two of them could hear, "This is the antidote for snake venom that my father gave me. I've brought it all. Please help me pass it on to Miss Su, Brother Hu. I..."

Before Feng Yuanxi could finish speaking, Luo Wulang came over, stuffed two packets of snake venom antidote into his hand, and left.

Luo Wulang felt embarrassed to stay, because he felt guilty that the Luo family had let Miss Su down.

No sooner had Luo Wulang left than General Mu arrived.

Vice Minister Lin recognized General Mu, knowing that General Mu was the nephew of the head of the Mu family, one of the five great families, and also the garrison commander of Shacheng.

He clenched his fists, feeling extremely unbalanced.

He knelt all night and discovered that so many people were giving Miss Su snake venom antidote.

There's probably no one else like this in the capital, right?

According to the attendants, not a single person delivered medicine to the Lin residence.

He, a high-ranking official of the third rank in the imperial court, had far less influence than a young girl without any official position. What a failure!

Thinking of this, Lord Lin felt a tightness in his chest, coughed up blood, and fainted.

When Lord Lin's two attendants saw him fall to the ground, they quickly lifted him onto a carriage and took him to a clinic for treatment.

General Mu was dressed in black casual clothes and was holding two pots of orchids in his arms.

"Pingfan, you've gained weight and gotten fairer, and you look much more energetic."

General Mu placed two pots of orchids on the stone steps outside the teahouse entrance and patted Hu Pingfan on the shoulder.

"Pingfan, I got a two-week vacation to visit my family in Beijing and also to see you. I heard that Miss Su likes orchids, so I brought two pots over."

Hu Pingfan is a very shrewd person. General Mu said he would come to see him, but the gift he brought was one that Miss Su would like. It's obvious that he wanted to see Miss Su, right?

However, General Mu has been guarding the border and has never met Miss Su, so it's not surprising that he would be curious.

Just like when he was a clerk at the border, after hearing Mo Xiaobei's description of Miss Su, he dreamed of meeting Miss Su and following her.

General Mu couldn't stop talking. "How is Miss Su? The crossbow Miss Su gave me earlier was of great use. I haven't thanked Miss Su in person yet. And the black coal Miss Su gave me solved the problem of the soldiers eating cold meals in the freezing cold..."

Hu Pingfan knew that General Mu had said so much because he wanted to see Miss Su.

He led General Mu and his entourage into the teahouse lobby. "General Mu, please have a seat in the lobby. I need to report some matters to Miss Su."

Hu Pingfan ran to the backyard and told Su Qianqian about the people who had just come and how much they had brought.

Su Qianqian heard that General Mu had arrived.

General Mu had previously given her a prime shop through Mo Xiaobei when she was in Shacheng, and she hadn't yet thanked him.

"Hu Pingfan, pick up snake repellent powder and antidote, and give ten packets each to General Mu. They might be hungry since they came so late, so take some instant noodles and make a bowl for each of them."

After eating the instant mushroom and chicken noodle soup, General Mu was particularly envious of Hu Pingfan.

The brothers at the border all thought Hu Pingfan had gone mad, donating his life savings to a stranger and refusing even a minor official position, traveling thousands of miles to the capital to follow Miss Su.

Everyone thought Hu Pingfan was a fool, but they didn't expect that they were the fools themselves.

It turns out that Hu Pingfan is so happy living with Miss Su, able to eat such delicious food every day.

"Pingfan, your outfit looks pretty impressive; it must be worth a lot of money, right?"

"Yes, this dress is from the Guose Tianxiang Clothing Shop, and it costs more than fifty taels of silver. Now that I'm working for Miss Su, I have to make sure my demeanor is on point."

"Fifty taels of silver? Didn't you donate your entire life savings to Miss Su? Where did you get fifty taels?"

"Yes, I donated it all to Miss Su, but Miss Su said that the money was my investment. Since I started following Miss Su, I have saved more than two thousand taels of silver. Moreover, this dress was a gift from Miss Su, and I didn't spend any money on it."

General Mu was even more surprised.

Hu Pingfan had worked hard all his life and only saved a little over 500 taels of silver, but in the short time he spent with Miss Su, those 500 taels quadrupled to more than 2,000 taels.

If the brothers at the border knew, they would be green with envy.

Moreover, the clothes that Miss Su arranged for Hu Pingfan were worth more than fifty taels of silver, which is truly enviable.

Even this great general wanted to resign his post and follow Miss Su.

Many people were waiting to see Hu Pingfan make a fool of himself, but it seems that won't happen.
