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

Murong Yan learned about Su Qianqian's past from Fang Cheng.

After escaping from human traffickers, Su Qianqian's personality changed drastically, and she suddenly gained many new skills.

She felt that Su Qianqian must have either traveled through time or been reborn; in any case, she must have had a great opportunity.

During the last Flower Festival, she deliberately tested Su Qianqian by saying many things that only time travelers would understand, but Su Qianqian didn't react at all.

There are only two possibilities: either Su Qianqian is pretending not to react, or Su Qianqian may not have transmigrated, but rather been reborn.

Those who are given a second chance at life can foresee future events, gain early opportunities, and better seize them.

Murong Yan had seen the stunningly beautiful clothes; they were indeed novel.

If Su Qianqian was truly reborn, then all of this makes sense. Su Qianqian lived an extra life, so she created the clothing styles that were popular in her previous life ahead of time.

Therefore, Su Qianqian's ability to concoct snake-repelling powder may also be due to her rebirth.

Fang Cheng was incredibly clever; just by looking at Murong Yan's expression, he knew that Murong Yan was extremely jealous of Miss Su.

Since that's the case, he might as well add fuel to the fire.

"Miss Murong, Su Qianqian is very famous now. I heard that even the emperor asked her for snake repellent powder, and many important officials in the court are currying favor with her just to buy snake repellent powder for their relatives and friends."

"Many people in the capital are saying that Su Qianqian is a woman of destiny."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yan dug her nails deep into her palms, drawing blood without even noticing.

How hateful! Su Qianqian is just a reborn peasant girl, while she, a transmigrator from one of the five great families, is the true chosen one.

Murong Yan smiled confidently, "I can make snake repellent powder too."

Since she transmigrated to this world, she has kept a powerful expert by her side, named Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu possesses extraordinary abilities; she can scale walls and walk on high places as if on flat ground.

Sending Feng Jiu to steal snake repellent powder would be a piece of cake.

If we steal a little more, we can not only exchange it for silver, but we might also be able to find someone to make the secret recipe based on the sample.

Murong Yan felt that she could still use Fang Cheng to deal with Su Qianqian in the future, so she rewarded Fang Cheng with a five-hundred-tael silver note.

"Fang Cheng, the information you provided is very good. If you have any news about Su Qianqian in the future, you can let me know anytime. I have an inn in the capital called Yanran Inn. You can stay there for free if you mention my name."

Fang Cheng was worried about having nowhere to stay, so he happily took the silver notes and left.

As luck would have it, he was spotted by Mo Xiaobei on the street.

Mo Xiaobei followed Fang Cheng all the way and saw that he had checked into Yanran Inn. She quickly returned to Gu's Teahouse and mentioned the matter to Su Qianqian.

"...Miss, Fang Cheng is staying in the easternmost room on the second floor of Yanran Inn."

Su Qianqian slipped a small packet of maltose to Mo Xiaobei, which made Mo Xiaobei, who loved sweets, extremely happy and determined to work even harder to help Miss Su.

Su Qianqian has no intention of letting Fang Cheng off the hook.

When she had someone inquire about Murong Yan earlier, she already knew that Yanran Inn was Murong Yan's private property and was very luxurious.

If we kill someone like Fang Cheng and let him reincarnate sooner, perhaps into a wealthy family, that would be too easy on him.

Fang Cheng's greatest desire was to become a superior person through the imperial examination and enjoy wealth and honor.

So she insisted on making Fang Cheng a beggar who couldn't even get enough to eat, living a life of poverty and destitution, and never being able to participate in the imperial examinations.

"Xiangming, go and get two mittens."

"Okay."

Xiangming was very excited, knowing that the girl was going to cause trouble again, and that she would be taking her along.

I can't wait!

Su Qianqian put on a veil to cover her face and went to Yanran Inn by carriage with Xiangming.

Many women in the Great Qi Dynasty would wear a veil when they went out, so the two of them were not conspicuous.

In Daqi, a household registration certificate is required to stay at an inn, but the fat manager of Yanran Inn is greedy. He took the silver ingot given by Xiangming and arranged the room that Xiangming wanted without asking any questions.

The room is directly opposite Fang Cheng's room.

Su Qianqian watched from inside the room for a while and saw two waiters carrying a large wooden bucket of water to Fang Cheng's room, so she knew that Fang Cheng was going to take a bath.

After the waiter went downstairs, the sound of rushing water came from the room across the street. Su Qianqian walked to the opposite side, quietly used her dagger to open the door, and tiptoed inside. Through the embroidered screen, she could see Fang Cheng taking a bath.

She took away all the clothes draped on the screen and the bundle Fang Cheng had placed on the bed.

After finishing her business, Su Qianqian immediately took Xiangming downstairs and got into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Su Qianqian drank a cup of tea and then began rummaging through her belongings.

They quickly found more than 10,000 taels of silver notes in a hidden pocket in Fang Cheng's clothes.

It's great, this trip was very fruitful.

She was certain that the money in the hands of someone like Fang Cheng was ill-gotten gains, and that all of it should be used to help the people.

Su Qianqian casually tossed Fang Cheng's clothes to a beggar on the roadside.

Tell the beggar, "I heard that some people at the Yanran Inn next door are being immoral and not wearing clothes. If you tell the patrolling soldiers about this, you might get a reward."

Upon hearing that there was a reward, the beggar excitedly put on Fang Cheng's clothes and ran to find the soldiers.

After Fang Cheng finished taking a bath, he realized that the clothes he had hung on the screen were gone. He immediately turned pale because all his silver notes were in the hidden pocket of the clothes.

He waited for a long time, but the waiter never came.

In the end, he had no choice but to go downstairs naked and ask the shop assistant for help in buying clothes.

Just then, the beggar arrived with Luo Yan and soldiers from the Five Cities Garrison. Upon seeing Fang Cheng, who was naked, they immediately put a chain around his neck.

This is a crucial time for receiving the Western Xia Empress, so security in the capital is very tight. Such indecent behavior, like not wearing clothes, will land you in jail.

Fang Cheng looked at the beggar's clothes and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

He was about to say that the beggar had stolen his clothes when he was whipped by a man from the Five Cities Garrison.

The whip went deep into his bones, and the pain was so intense that he couldn't speak.

Fang Cheng was dragged along the road by iron chains, and was covered in rotten eggs and vegetable leaves by the people. Some people even took the opportunity to throw stones at him.

The people were extremely excited.

The main reason was that they had been worried that the Western Xia Empress would release poisonous snakes to bite them when she came to the capital, so their emotions were very unstable, and now they finally had a place to vent.

"This is utterly indecent! It's an eyesore! In broad daylight, he's not even wearing clothes! Your Honor, this man must be severely punished!"

"The world is going to the dogs, morality has collapsed! Your Honor, please punish this scoundrel severely, preferably by beheading him!"

Upon hearing the words "beheading," Fang Cheng trembled with fear and immediately urinated on the ground.

This only drew more ridicule.

Fang Cheng was extremely angry and ashamed; this was definitely the most humiliating and shameful moment of his life.

If it weren't for wanting to team up with Murong Yan to deal with Su Qianqian, he wouldn't have suffered this humiliation. It's all Su Qianqian's fault; all his misfortunes were brought about by Su Qianqian.

Fang Cheng secretly vowed that once he reached a high position, he would definitely skin Su Qianqian alive.
