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

The Crown Prince felt guilty for not being able to protect his beloved.

"Girl, I will make Prime Minister Feng and Lord Lin pay the price."

The Prime Minister's wife came out of the kitchen, intending to deliver some snacks to the teahouse lobby in front, and clearly heard what the Crown Prince Gong said.

Startled, my hand trembled and the plate fell to the ground.

It's over. The young master of the palace dotes on Miss Su like his own life; her master's life is in danger.

Su Qianqian squatted down, picked up the plate, handed it to the Prime Minister's wife, and gave her a comforting look.

"Brother Gong, Feng Yuanxi risked his life to jump into the river to save me, so I promised the Prime Minister's wife that I would not touch Prime Minister Feng for the time being."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's wife breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thank God, thank Miss Su, it's all thanks to our youngest son's kind heart and accumulated good deeds that we were able to keep the pillar of our family.

She knew she shouldn't hear what she shouldn't hear, so she quickly grabbed the plate and left.

Su Qianqian took Gong Yu's hand and led him into the house.

"Brother Gong, this is for you."

She handed Prince Gong three account books that she had obtained from the secret room of Lord Lin's study.

Having served as an inspector for many years, Gong Yu glanced at the evidence and immediately recognized it as proof of Lord Lin's crimes.

It seems that all the wealth that Lord Lin has painstakingly accumulated over the years has ended up in the hands of the maid.

If the maid doesn't want to hand it over, then she won't. Anyway, the maid is always clean and efficient, and no one can find any evidence against her.

That noon, Lord Lin was arrested and imprisoned.

The Lin family's property was confiscated, and the entire family was exiled.

Men and women, young and old, were being escorted into prison vans.

The surrounding crowd kept throwing vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the prison van.

"That corrupt official, that filthy corrupt official, actually embezzled over ten thousand taels of silver, disregarding the lives of the people."

"Damn corrupt official, we can't even afford to eat, yet you've embezzled over ten thousand taels of silver from us."

Some ordinary people sympathized with the women and children of the Lin family, feeling that the women and children were not involved in the corruption but were implicated and were quite pitiful.

Su Qianqian's mother, Madam Gu, kept wiping away tears with a handkerchief, feeling great sympathy for the women and children of the Lin family.

Su Qianqian asked Su Xiaobao beside her, "Xiaobao, do you think the women and children of the Lin family are innocent?"

"Sister, I don't think they are innocent. Since they enjoyed the wealth and luxury brought by their embezzled money, they need to pay back these sins."

Hearing this, Su Qianqian felt relieved.

My parents are both overly kind people and easily taken advantage of, but luckily Xiaobao is a sensible person.

Once Xiaobao grows up, she can entrust her overly kind-hearted parents to her care, and then she can confidently roam the world and explore countless mountains and rivers.

Lu, the Assistant Minister of Works, has arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.

Lord Lu and Lord Lin had a good relationship, both being the Prime Minister's right-hand men, so they were very close. Seeing Lord Lin's fate, Lord Lu felt quite sorry for him.

"Your Excellency, Lord Lin has been sentenced to beheading in three days, and the entire Lin family has been exiled."

Prime Minister Feng recalled what his wife often said: "Those who oppose Miss Su will not have a good ending."

Look at Vice Minister Luo, and then look at Lord Lin; indeed, none of them have a good ending.

However, the rules of the Great Qi cannot be broken. That woman is currently unparalleled in her prominence, and she will inevitably become the biggest hidden danger to the imperial power of the Great Qi in the future.

He would definitely risk his life to protect Daqi and fight that little girl to the death.

"Old Lu, you need to be extremely careful in your actions from now on."

"This humble official thanks Your Excellency for the reminder."

Lord Lu also remarked that Prime Minister Feng was a cunning old fox; although he was deeply involved with Lord Lin, he had done things flawlessly.

The Dali Temple investigated Lord Lin's embezzlement case, but it did not implicate Prime Minister Feng in the slightest.

"Your Excellency, you may not know this, but today the Crown Prince Gong actually resigned from his post. The position of Inspector was such a good job that others would kill for, yet he gave it up for a woman. How foolish!"

Prime Minister Feng also thought that Prince Gong was very stupid. Women are just appendages of men. Prince Gong actually went against the natural order and let women ride on his head, which set a very bad example.

Prime Minister Feng sat on the bed, angrily wanting to slam his fist on the table, but there was no table to slam on, so he forcefully slammed his fist on the red plum porcelain pillow on the bed.

"Damn it! This young master Gong is truly spineless. He's gone to such lengths for a woman. Does he plan to live off women from now on? He's disgraced all men. Doesn't he even know what male superiority means?"

Lord Lu knew that Prime Minister Feng shared the same viewpoint.

Lord Lu was a capable subordinate of Vice Minister Luo. He originally wanted to invite Vice Minister Luo to come to the Prime Minister's residence to discuss matters, but when he arrived at the residence, he heard from the servants that Vice Minister Luo was ill and should not go out, so he came to the Prime Minister's residence alone.

"Your Excellency, you may not know this, but all the women in the capital are now envious of Miss Su's good fortune in having such a perfect fiancé."

Prime Minister Feng snorted angrily, gripping the silk quilt on the bed tightly with both hands.

Lord Lu then recalled a ridiculous rumor circulating in the capital. "These people in the capital believe anything they hear! They're spreading rumors that the Prime Minister's wife is working as a waitress at Gu's Tea House! Hahaha, how absurd! How could the Prime Minister's wife possibly work as a waitress at Gu's?"

Prime Minister Feng's face turned even more ashen.

What seemed absurd and laughable to Lord Lu was, in fact, true.

Prime Minister Feng felt that his dignity had been trampled on.

If his leg hadn't been injured, he would have gone to Gu's Teahouse himself to bring his wife back.

It's infuriating! It's all that Miss Su's fault for bewitching his wife. Miss Su must have done it on purpose, deliberately making his wife work as a handyman at Gu's restaurant so that he could be ridiculed by the people of the entire capital.

Prime Minister Feng was furious and threw the red plum blossom porcelain pillow on the ground, shattering it into pieces.

Lord Lu was a little confused. Seeing that Prime Minister Feng was not in good spirits, he made an excuse to take his leave.

On the other side, Empress Ji Wu of Western Xia was afraid that Miss Su might make another mistake, and then there would really be no one to treat her face, so she quickly brought gifts to Gu's Tea House to express her condolences.

"Miss Su, I heard that you were in danger and fell into the river, so I, the Empress, have brought a five-hundred-year-old ginseng to visit you."

While ostensibly visiting and offering condolences, their real intention was to urge Miss Su to get her face treated as soon as possible.

To Ji Wu's delight, Miss Su actually agreed.

"Okay, I agree."

Su Qianqian picked up the 500-year-old ginseng and smelled it. Her sense of smell was very sensitive, and she knew that the Western Xia people had not tampered with the ginseng.

She happened to need a 500-year-old ginseng recently, so she accepted it.

"Miss Ji, please remove your veil so I can see your face."

General Gongsun, who accompanied the Empress, was furious. Their Empress of the Western Xia Kingdom was addressed by this little girl by her surname, showing no respect for hierarchy whatsoever. This little girl was incredibly arrogant!

General Gongsun had a sword at his waist, and because he was angry, he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

He was of a fierce nature and was about to draw his sword when Ji Wu stopped him.

"General Gongsun, go outside and wait."

Ji Wu thought to herself, "Miss Su finally agreed to help me heal my face, I can't let General Gongsun, that hothead, ruin it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
