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

When Vice Minister Luo went to the pawnshop to pawn his ancestral shop, he had just finished the pawning procedures and was walking out the door when he saw Lord Xue walking towards him.

Minister Luo was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Because he had found out very clearly that Lord Xue and his wife were vying to jump into the Black River.

Those who fall into the Black River cannot possibly still be alive; Lord Xue has already been buried alive with Miss Su.

So he must have seen a ghost.

Vice Minister Luo collapsed at the entrance of the pawnshop, his body still convulsing.

Helpless, Fan Dajiang could only tell the driver to take the carriage to the clinic.

Upon arriving at the clinic, after taking his pulse, the doctor said to Fan Dajiang, "Minister Luo's body is severely depleted and needs a major boost from precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng and deer antler. Our clinic just happened to acquire a century-old ginseng, but the price is a bit high, requiring one thousand taels of silver."

With Vice Minister Luo in a coma, Fan Dajiang is temporarily in charge.

"Please, doctor, save my master! We need this century-old ginseng right away!"

Fan Dajiang thought to himself, "The Luo family's ancestral shop has been pawned for over a thousand taels of silver; I should use it all up."

That way, all the money won't be spent on the fake granddaughter.

Moreover, Vice Minister Luo wanted to have a big feast to celebrate Miss Su's death, but now all the money has been spent on medicine, so there's no way to celebrate anymore, haha.

Even if Vice Minister Luo wakes up, you can't blame this servant, after all, he did it to save his master and had no selfish motives.

Feng Yuanxi carried the red lacquered food box home.

The Prime Minister's wife held her youngest son tightly, unwilling to let go.

This brat has made her worry for so long; he really deserves to be disciplined, but she can't bear to do it.

"You brat, if you dare do that again, I'll have your legs broken."

After a while, he asked Feng Yuanxi again, "Is Miss Su alright?"

Feng Yuanxi said proudly, "Mother, you can rest assured, there's absolutely nothing wrong with our Miss Su. Miss Su is a goddess."

Feng Xiaoshuang is a foodie, and she kept sniffing the aroma emanating from the food box.

"Brother, what delicious food did you bring back? Hurry up and give it to Mom and me to try."

Feng Yuanxi opened the food box, revealing beautiful crystal water chestnut cakes and osmanthus cakes adorned with tiny specks of pale yellow.

Feng Xiaoshuang: "My God, these pastries are so beautiful!"

The mother and her two children ate heartily together, too busy to even talk.

Feng Xiaoshuang ate with loud smacking noises, her eyes sparkling.

Only after all the snacks were gone did Feng Xiaoshuang praise, "Brother, you're the most capable in our family, managing to get such delicious food from Miss Su."

"Brother, you should work hard with Miss Su from now on and try to bring home more delicious food. I'll never get married in this life and will just stay at home and live off you."

Feng Yuanxi said regretfully, "Actually, Miss Su has an older brother and a younger brother. If any girl marries into the Su family, she will definitely be able to eat delicious food every day. I just regret that I am not a girl."

Feng Xiaoshuang's eyes lit up even more. Yes, if she married into the Su family, she could enjoy such heavenly food every day.

My brother isn't a girl, but she is.

I must find out later whether it's better to marry Miss Su's brother or her younger brother.

Luo Yan, leading the men of the Five Cities Garrison, passed by Gu's Teahouse and saw Su Qianqian writing in the main hall.

It turns out that Miss Su did not die.

I knew it! Miss Su is such a lucky star, how could she die so easily!

I need to find some time to go home and tell my wife the news, otherwise she'll probably cry her eyes out.

Ever since Miss Su fell into the Heihe River, his wife has been crying non-stop.

The officers and soldiers following Luo Yan were truly happy.

After Miss Su fell into the Black River, the people of the capital became extremely irritable and caused trouble everywhere. They patrolled day and night, not daring to rest.

The news that Miss Su is alive will soon spread throughout the capital, and no one will act rashly because of her death.

They can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Blood Fiend Alliance's stronghold.

The interior decoration is entirely in dark colors.

Black table, black cabinet, black curtains.

Four people wearing different black masks sat at the same black square wooden table.

The one wearing the tiger mask is the leader of the Blood Fiend Alliance. There is a large "king" character on the forehead of the tiger mask.

The other three wearing masks of lions, silver wolves, and black bears are the branch leaders.

The alliance leader's voice was perfectly calm: "This mission has failed."

The branch leader wearing the silver wolf mask said, "It was terrifying. People and carriages fell into the Black River together; there was no way they could have come out alive. But not only did that Miss Su survive, she even rescued the big white horse that pulled the carriage."

The Black Bear branch leader refused to believe it: "Impossible! I saw that big white horse fall into the Black River with my own eyes. That big white horse couldn't possibly be alive. You must have seen wrong."

"I can't be mistaken. The white horse pulling the carriage that Miss Su rode in today has a tuft of red hair on its forehead and is missing its right ear. It's exactly the same as the one that fell into the Black River. I, the leader, am absolutely certain that I'm not mistaken."

The leader's voice was devoid of any emotion. "I declare this mission a failure."

The Blood Fiend Alliance has existed for hundreds of years, and this is the first time an assassination attempt has failed.

This assassination mission targeting Miss Su involved ten veteran experts from the Blood Fiend Alliance.

The horses pulling Miss Su's carriage were given the most potent madness drug, and everyone else hid by the Black River, planning to add other unexpected events if Miss Su didn't fall into the river.

They had prepared nine contingency plans for unexpected deaths, but none of them were used because they saw Miss Su fall into the river along with her carriage, and assumed she was doomed.

Unexpectedly, not only did Miss Su survive, but even the others they had watched jump into the river to save her also survived.

I still can't figure out what happened.

The alliance leader announced, "We will refund ten times the amount."

The Blood Fiend Alliance has never failed a mission.

If the task fails, the compensation will be returned tenfold, and the person will never be allowed to take on the same task again.

This means that the Blood Fiend Alliance will no longer accept missions to assassinate Miss Su.

When Lord Lin signed the contract with the Blood Fiend Alliance, he signed Prime Minister Feng's name.

So the Blood Fiend Alliance members quietly placed 500,000 taels of silver notes on Prime Minister Feng's bedside, along with the contract that had been torn in two.

Prime Minister Feng was still unconscious due to a stroke caused by anger. The people serving him were all arranged by the Prime Minister's wife, so she received the news immediately.

She rushed to Prime Minister Feng's bedroom and saw the contract torn in the middle. In her mind, she cursed Prime Minister Feng and his ancestors for eighteen generations.

That reckless old fool actually hired someone to kill Miss Su, almost causing his youngest son's death as well.

Before Prime Minister Feng could wake up, the Prime Minister's wife swung her hand and slapped him across the face several times.

"Fool, do you think a mortal like you can afford to offend Miss Su?"

After the Prime Minister's wife finished hitting him, she wiped her hands with a white handkerchief and then took all the 500,000 taels of silver notes.
