Luo Mingfang felt like dying.

He ran over and knelt for over an hour, but didn't get any benefits and ended up covered in injuries.

The most heartbreaking thing is that the huge sum of money she had worked so hard for vanished.

Poor Luo Mingfang was completely disoriented after the collision and fell under a big tree, unable to move. The sun was so strong that it made her dizzy and lightheaded.

But the driver was more seriously injured than she was, so Luo Mingfang could only ask the onlookers for help.

"Please, please, save me."

Feng Yuanxi stood guard to the side, threatening, "Anyone who dares to step forward to save her, I'll beat them to death."

Those watching all recognized Feng Yuanxi, knowing that he was not only Prime Minister Feng's most beloved youngest son, but also Miss Su's loyal supporter.

No one dared to go against Feng Yuanxi.

Luo Mingfang had been basking in the sun under the big tree for a long time, until she was half-dead and fainted. Only then did the servants of the Luo family get the news, lift her into the car, and take her home.

When Vice Minister Luo heard that his granddaughter Mingfang was injured, he was extremely worried and quickly asked for leave from the government office to go home and visit her.

As soon as he entered the room, he heard the doctor say, "There's nothing wrong with your bones. You just need to rest in bed for half a month."

After seeing the doctor off, Vice Minister Luo returned to the house and was heartbroken to see his granddaughter with a bruised and swollen face.

His beloved granddaughter was treated so badly; it was utterly outrageous.

Minister Luo was furious, his face turning ashen. He comforted Luo Mingfang, saying, "Don't worry, your grandfather will definitely avenge you and won't let that girl get away with it."

Luo Mingfang kept wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, feeling extremely wronged.

"I only want Miss Su to forgive my grandfather. As long as Miss Su can let go of her hatred for my grandfather, it is worth it for me to suffer any injustice."

Vice Minister Luo remembered something else: if the money wasn't paid soon, Lord Xue would come and take the house deed to reclaim it. It was a matter of life and death, extremely urgent.

"Mingfang, your grandfather would like to borrow five thousand taels from you to tide him over."

He had tried every possible method, but still couldn't raise the money to redeem the house.

If Lord Xue brings his men to seize the house, he will become the laughingstock of the entire capital.

Vice Minister Luo actually regretted his impulsive decision to exchange the house deed for snake repellent powder.

"Don't worry, Mingfang, your grandfather will definitely return it to you later."

Luo Mingfang was stunned; she hadn't expected that Vice Minister Luo would ask her for money.

If she says she lost it, Minister Luo will definitely think she's making excuses, which will likely affect his favor towards her.

Now that she has no money, she can't survive without the Luo family, so she has no choice but to lie.

"Grandfather, I used that five thousand taels to lend money out, but don't worry, it's a short-term loan, and I'll get the money back in a month."

Luo Shilang thought to himself, "If I talk to Lord Xue properly, I should be able to buy some time for a month."

"Mingfang, remember this: lending money is not allowed by the court, and it can't be done anymore. You are my granddaughter, so you don't need to worry about making money. What other young ladies from prominent families have, your grandfather will earn for you."

"Understood, Grandfather."

Luo Mingfang appeared respectful, but inwardly she was quite disgusted.

You can't earn anything for me; you've almost squandered the entire Luo family fortune.

Luo Mingfang regretted it deeply. She should have just taken the five thousand taels and left. It was all her fault for being greedy and wanting to kneel down outside Gu's shop to disgust Miss Su. As a result, she lost the money and had no way out for the time being.

Inside the Sifang Pavilion, the Seventh Prince and Murong Yan sat facing each other, drinking tea.

The two were plotting together to cause trouble during the coming-of-age ceremony, when there were many people around.

Murong Yan encouraged him, saying, "Brother Yuan, don't worry about it. There will definitely be many people attending the coming-of-age ceremony. With so many people, things are bound to go wrong. No matter how capable Miss Su is, she can't possibly handle everything perfectly."

The Seventh Prince was exceptionally confident from a young age and didn't need Murong Yan's encouragement at all.

He had already made arrangements, asking the Blood Fiend Alliance to help him kidnap and extort Su Qianqian's younger brother.

The Seventh Prince originally wanted the Blood Fiend Alliance to help assassinate Su Qianqian, but he didn't expect that the Blood Fiend Alliance, which was famous in the martial arts world, was afraid of that little girl and didn't dare to take the job.

It's quite surprising that even the mysterious and terrifying Blood Fiend Alliance has people they're afraid of.

I've heard that the Blood Fiend Alliance has been around for hundreds of years, and Miss Su is the only exception. I wonder what the Blood Fiend Alliance is afraid of!

Fortunately, the Blood Fiend Alliance's ban only applies to the person in question, so Su Qianqian's family members can be dealt with. The Seventh Prince had no choice but to settle for second best and ask the Blood Fiend Alliance to kidnap Su Qianqian's younger brother.

He originally wanted to kidnap Su Qianqian's honest and simple parents as well, but Su Bing and his wife lived in the plum garden, which was heavily guarded, so he felt that the success rate was not very high.

It's easier to tie up Su Xiaobao, who is currently living with Grand Secretary Liang at his home.

Therefore, the Seventh Prince has already sent someone to tell the Blood Fiend Alliance to wait until after Su Xiaobao's coming-of-age ceremony and then make their move on his way back to Grand Secretary Liang's house.

When he receives a huge sum of silver notes, he can have them sent back to the Southern Yue Kingdom for disaster relief. His father will definitely think more highly of him then.

The ministers would also think that this prince was exceptionally capable, and that his appointment as crown prince would be a done deal.

However, he planned not to let Su Xiaobao go as promised after receiving the ransom.

If we can't kill Miss Su herself, then we'll kill her closest relatives one by one, making her suffer excruciating pain.

As for Miss Su's revenge, he was not afraid.

The Emperor of Daqi would not allow anyone to kill him, so Miss Su could not kill him within Daqi territory.

Once he returns to the Southern Yue Kingdom, Miss Su will be even less able to kill him.

Because the Southern Yue Kingdom also had its own trump card, namely the Saman shamans.

"Don't worry, Sister Yan. The Saman sorcerers of my Southern Yue are extremely powerful. Even if the Grand Preceptor of Western Xia and Master Tianyuan joined forces, they might not be a match for the Saman sorcerers."

Not only the Seventh Prince, but also Murong Yan wanted to deal with Su Qianqian.

Even Prime Minister Feng felt that the coming-of-age ceremony was a good opportunity to deal with Su Qianqian.

Although many officials are now trying to curry favor with Su Qianqian, many of them were promoted by him and owe him favors that they must repay.

Prime Minister Feng gathered several relatively loyal officials and came to his residence.

Zhang, Luo, and Lu, officials from the Ministry of Personnel.

Prime Minister Feng had already devised a foolproof plan: "If we can't deal with Miss Su, we'll start with her biological father. At the Guiping Marquis's banquet, men and women are separated. Su Bing will definitely attend his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. He's honest and simple-minded, making him the easiest to manipulate."

"Su Bing holds an official position. When the time comes, you should get him drunk by pouring him more wine, then slip him a huge silver note worth ten thousand taels of silver, accuse him of accepting a bribe, and he will have no way to defend himself, and no one can save him."

Everyone thought the idea was excellent and highly feasible; indeed, experience counts.

Prime Minister Feng assured him, "Find a suitable person to bribe him. Our Great Qi punishes bribe-givers very lightly. I will make sure the bribe-giver suffers and will definitely take good care of him."
