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

Lord Xue brewed tea with the peach leaves he had collected and drank it. After drinking it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

The sweat smelled terrible; it was obvious that it was expelling dampness and toxins.

Lord Xue took a bath and felt refreshed and very comfortable.

He found that his swollen feet were no longer swollen, and the shoes that used to pinch his feet were now much looser.

Sure enough, these fallen peach leaves, like the fertilizer solution prepared by Miss Su, were treasures.

The next day, after the morning court session, his colleagues all praised Lord Xue for looking very energetic.

"Lord Xue, what delicious food have you eaten? You look radiant."

"Yes, Lord Xue, you seem to have lost a lot of weight in just one day."

Lord Xue said with an air of arrogance, "Yes, I also think I look much more handsome today. You should have heard that Miss Su is a lucky star. I ate the food Miss Su gave me yesterday and felt very light."

He wasn't lying; those peach leaves didn't cost him a penny, so they were definitely a gift.

The ministers were very envious.

Miss Su's food is not cheap at all.

Previously, when Minister Qin of the Ministry of War held a fundraising event, the small elm seed buns made by Miss Su actually sold for fifty taels of silver each. Now, it is said that the peaches grown by Miss Su have sold for ten thousand taels of silver.

Moreover, they are selective about who they sell to; they sell to those they are happy with and refuse to sell to those they are not.

If they go to buy it, but Miss Su refuses to sell it, wouldn't that be extremely embarrassing?

Moreover, as officials of the Great Qi, they dared not openly buy peaches, for fear that His Majesty would suspect them of embezzlement.

Therefore, everyone was very envious of Lord Xue for gaining Miss Su's trust and receiving food from her for free.

Lord Xue discovered today that his superior, Minister of Rites Lin, was absent from the morning court session.

After inquiring with his colleagues, he learned that Lord Lin had fallen off his horse yesterday.

Old Master Lin is over sixty years old. At this age, he fell off his horse, hit his head, and broke three ribs. It's like he lost half his life. He still hasn't woken up.

The imperial physician went to examine him and said there was no hope; he told the patient to prepare for his passing.

Lord Xue felt this was a good opportunity; it was time for him to win over the hearts of the people for Miss Su.

Now all he thinks about is how to win over the hearts of Miss Su, so that she will surely return to Qinghe County and regain control of the military.

We must win more hearts and minds for Miss Su in order to stop certain individuals from harming her. For example, Prime Minister Feng and Vice Minister Luo have been targeting Miss Su.

As long as he saves Minister Lin in the name of Miss Su, Minister Lin and Miss Su will be bound by a life-or-death bond from now on.

When the court makes another decision related to Miss Su, Minister Lin will definitely do his utmost to protect her.

Lord Xue hurriedly went to the backyard of Gu's Teahouse, picked up a small handful of fallen peach leaves from the ground, ran to a private room on the second floor, crushed them with a stone mortar, and then added some black tea sold by Gu's Teahouse, turning them into a strangely colored liquid.

He filled the liquid into a water bag and took the water bag to Minister Lin's house.

Because Minister Lin had been sentenced to death by the imperial physician, his entire family was deeply grieved and had no mood to entertain guests.

The Lin family is currently preparing the things that Minister Lin will need after his death, such as funeral clothes, incense, paper money, and a soul-summoning banner.

Lord Xue said to Madam Lin, "Madam, you must have heard about the story of the Western Xia Imperial Preceptor buying peaches for ten thousand taels of silver, right? Those peaches are treasures."

Madam Lin's eyes lit up. That's right, there's a rumor that Miss Su's peaches can bring the dead back to life. Now that there's no other way, we can only try anything as a last resort.

"Someone, prepare ten thousand taels of silver notes and go to Gu's shop to ask for peaches."

I heard that the peaches grown by Miss Su are not sold for money; whether you can buy them depends entirely on fate.

Madam Lin clasped her hands together and said, "Merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless my Lin family so we can buy peaches."

Lord Xue: "Madam, there's no need to send anyone to buy it. Miss Su heard that Minister Lin's injuries were serious, so she asked me to bring some peach juice over."

Madam Lin was very grateful. Since Minister Lin was still in a deep coma and could not eat peach flesh directly, peach juice was the perfect choice. Miss Su had been so thoughtful.

Lord Xue poured the liquid out of the water bag.

The Lin family members looked at the bowl of strangely colored liquid with puzzled expressions.

The matriarch, who was in charge of the household, thought to herself, since Miss Su's peaches could sell for ten thousand taels of silver each, they must be extraordinary, and it was understandable that their color was a bit strange.

Feeding medicine to a comatose person is very troublesome. Minister Lin's two sons were responsible for one of them to pry open their father's mouth and the other to feed him peach juice.

After drinking the peach juice, about an incense stick's time later, Minister Lin woke up.

Madam Lin was overjoyed. "Quickly, go and fetch the imperial physician!"

Physician Zhao was invited to the Lin family again, which annoyed him.

We've already told the Lin family that Minister Lin is beyond saving and they should just focus on preparing for his passing. Yet, the Lin family keeps bothering him to come over.

He felt that at this moment, Minister Lin was barely clinging to life and would soon pass away.

When Physician Zhao entered the room, he found that Minister Lin had actually woken up and looked to be in good spirits.

Good heavens, how is this possible?

Physician Zhao quickly stepped forward to take Minister Lin's pulse and found that Minister Lin was in good health.

Who is this person with such superb medical skills that they were able to save Minister Lin?

He must become that person's apprentice.

"Minister Lin's life has been saved, but he will need to stay in bed for several months to recover from his broken ribs."

Upon hearing Physician Zhao's words, Old Madam Lin was moved to tears.

It's not easy to get to the position of Minister. Minister Lin carries the weight of his entire family's wealth and honor on his shoulders. If Minister Lin dies, the Lin family will be finished.

The Lin family's wealth was only preserved thanks to the peach juice given to them by Miss Su.

Madam Lin was extremely grateful. She led her whole family to kneel in the courtyard and kowtow three times in the direction of Gu's Tea House.

When Physician Zhao heard the Lin family masters muttering words of thanks to Miss Su, he realized they were all expressing their gratitude.

They said it was to thank Miss Su for saving Minister Lin.

Physician Zhao was devoted to medicine all his life, so he immediately decided to become an apprentice.

"May I ask, Madam Lin, is the Miss Su you're referring to the one from Gu's Teahouse?"

"Exactly."

After receiving the answer, Physician Zhao did not return to the palace but went directly towards Gu's Tea House.

Madam Lin got up from the ground and hurriedly urged her two daughters-in-law to go to the storeroom to pick out gifts.

The peaches cost 10,000 taels each, and Miss Su gave them to us for free. The return gift can't be less than 10,000 taels.

No, ten thousand taels is too little; her master's life is worth far more than ten thousand taels.

"Go and pick out gifts that young girls like, and send them to Gu's Tea House. Choose the best and most expensive ones, and pick several. The value should not be less than 30,000 taels of silver."
