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

When it was time for the staff of Gu's Teahouse to have dinner together, the cooks realized that the woman who had helped them that afternoon was actually the Prime Minister's wife.

Good heavens! Gu's Teahouse is absolutely unique in the Great Qi Dynasty! Even the Prime Minister's wife works there?

The Prime Minister's wife was very diligent and easy to talk to, doing whatever she was asked to do. She also dressed very simply, just like the others.

If no one had told them, they really wouldn't have realized that the other person was actually the Prime Minister's wife.

As waiters at Gu's Teahouse, everyone felt particularly proud. Gu's Teahouse had a grand reputation; the Prime Minister's wife and the wife of Minister Xue of the Ministry of Rites were both working there.

You probably can't find another teahouse in the entire capital with such grandeur.

In the Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Feng finally woke up.

He only had a little congee and side dishes for dinner.

Prime Minister Feng learned from Steward Chen that Miss Su was not dead and that his youngest son, Yuanxi, was also alive. Prime Minister Feng had mixed feelings, and he was both happy and crying.

Nothing made him happier than his youngest son being alive.

So even if the assassination of Miss Su was unsuccessful, it's not that important anymore.

I heard that the Blood Fiend Alliance has a rule that if an assassination mission fails, the reward will be increased tenfold.

Ten times 50,000 taels, that's a full 500,000 taels!

Although Miss Su didn't die, he was able to make a fortune from it.

Prime Minister Feng felt a slight surge of excitement. He coughed twice and asked, "Has the Blood Fiend Sect sent any silver notes?"

Steward Chen forced a smile and replied, "Your Excellency, because Miss Su did not die, the Blood Fiend Alliance returned 500,000 taels of silver. At that time, you were still unconscious, and the silver notes were given to Miss Su by your wife."

Prime Minister Feng was very distressed about the money; it was 500,000 taels of silver.

To covet so much silver requires taking on enormous risks.

The money he got for nothing was given to his enemy, Miss Su, by his wife. It was infuriating!

This spendthrift woman, women are indeed too soft-hearted, they can't achieve great things.

Throughout history, those who achieve great things have all been ruthless and cruel, preferring to betray the world rather than let the world betray them.

"Manager Chen, quickly send someone to invite Madam back."

Prime Minister Feng planned to give his wife a good scolding when she returned, because women don't learn their lesson if they aren't scolded.

Two incense sticks' worth of time later, the messenger returned and reported: "Master, Madam, she... she's working as a cook at Gu's Tea House now, and says she's going to return to the manor with Young Master Yuanxi tonight."

Prime Minister Feng was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

I'm so angry! The wife of a prime minister has actually gone to work as a cook in a teahouse. She has degraded herself and made a disgrace to the family!

If this gets out, where will he, the prime minister of a great nation, put his face?

This is absolutely outrageous!

Prime Minister Feng instructed Steward Chen: "Arrange more people so that when Madam returns tonight, she can be imprisoned in the backyard. She must never step out of the Feng residence again to become a cook and embarrass me."

"Yes, sir."

At this moment, the angrier person was not Prime Minister Feng, but Lord Lin.

After being revived by the doctor, he looked at the empty study and felt like dying.

What Lord Lin was most concerned about was the account book in the secret room. He went into the secret room and found nothing but the walls.

He sat down in the corner, looking dejected, his eyes as red as a rabbit's.

All the hard work I've put in over the years has vanished; no one can bear to blame it on me.

His confidant had already informed him that Miss Su was not dead.

Since Miss Su is not dead, then what we saw earlier was not Miss Su's ghost, but Miss Su herself.

It was Miss Su who stole the fruits of his years of embezzlement.

How dare that woman break into the heavily guarded Lin residence alone at night?

Lord Lin was so angry that he banged his head against the wall. Was it easy for him? He had worked hard all these years to accumulate this wealth, and in one night it all vanished.

How could he possibly accept this!

Mrs. Lin came to the study to visit her sick husband and was quite surprised to see the empty study.

The Lin residence was heavily guarded, and no one knew who had managed to steal everything from the study so quietly.

"Husband, I told you long ago that everyone says Miss Su is a lucky star and that going against her will bring bad luck, but you wouldn't listen. Look, now you're really in trouble."

Lord Lin offered no argument.

He knew that his embezzlement might soon be exposed.

It's no use saying anything now.

The whole family will suffer then, but there's no use in running away, there's no way to escape.

Blood Fiend Alliance.

All the decorations in the huge hall were black, so even with four lamps lit, the light was still dim and indistinct, making it difficult to see people clearly, as if they were seen through a veil.

The alliance leader and several branch leaders liked this mysterious vibe.

None of them even knew each other's true identities.

The branch leader wearing the silver wolf mask slammed his fist on the table angrily and said, "Alliance Leader, the 500,000 taels of silver notes have been returned to Prime Minister Feng, but the Prime Minister's wife gave the notes to Miss Su. I suspect that the Prime Minister deliberately colluded with Miss Su to swindle our Blood Fiend Alliance's money."

"The Prime Minister knew that we were no match for Miss Su, yet he deliberately colluded with her to place the order, all in order to embezzle the 500,000 taels of compensation."

The leader of the alliance, wearing a tiger mask, spoke without a trace of warmth, "He's quite capable to have managed to swindle Xue Shaming out of his money. Let's go to the Prime Minister's residence and kill a few servants to teach Prime Minister Feng a lesson."

So the next morning, the Prime Minister's wife left the residence without incident.

The servants sent by Prime Minister Feng to stop his wife from leaving the mansion died suddenly overnight, and the murderers left behind a letter.

Steward Chen took the letter and handed it to Prime Minister Feng.

Prime Minister Feng, holding a teacup in one hand and taking the letter in the other, shouted, "How can you be so useless? I told you to stop the Madam, but you failed again! She's gone out and embarrassed me once more."

After saying that, he opened the letter and glanced at it. He was so shocked that he dropped the teacup in his hand and it shattered on the ground.

The letter was written by the Blood Fiend Alliance, questioning whether Prime Minister Feng and Miss Su had conspired to swindle the Blood Fiend Alliance out of their money and ruin their centuries-long history of never having suffered a defeat.

They threatened to make Prime Minister Feng pay the price.

Prime Minister Feng felt uneasy: Since you suspect that I colluded with Miss Su to swindle the Blood Fiend Alliance out of their money, why don't you threaten Miss Su and make her pay the price?

The Blood Fiend Alliance was both mysterious and powerful, which is why Prime Minister Feng's hand trembled violently as he held the letter.

He was still very afraid of the Blood Fiend Alliance, so he no longer cared about his wife becoming a cook.

"Steward Chen, go and spare no expense to select a group of highly skilled martial artists to serve as guards in the manor. Select at least one hundred people."

"Yes, sir."

The Blood Fiend Alliance is very powerful; they can kill people silently and unexpectedly. Therefore, Prime Minister Feng is still very afraid of the Blood Fiend Alliance.

He wrote a long letter explaining that he and Miss Su had not conspired to deceive the Blood Fiend Alliance.

He also wrote about the grudges between him and Miss Su, and vowed to be irreconcilable enemies with Miss Su.

Prime Minister Feng asked Steward Chen to deliver the letter to the Blood Fiend Alliance's stronghold, hoping that the Blood Fiend Alliance would believe him and stop causing him trouble.
