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

The people gradually left the Sifangguan.

When the Grand Preceptor of Western Xia heard that Su Xiaobao had been found, he led the Western Xia soldiers back to Sifang Pavilion and encountered Su Qianqian at the entrance.

"Congratulations, Miss Su, on finding your younger brother."

Su Qianqian thought that it must have been hard work for them to go out and help find people in such hot weather, so even though the person wasn't found by the Grand Preceptor of Xixia, she still gave the Grand Preceptor and Ji Wu two peaches each.

"Thank you for your help, Imperial Preceptor and Miss Ji."

It's so hot! I've been standing outside the gate for so long, I'm almost getting sunburned.

Ji Wu took the peach and took a bite, immediately feeling the heat dissipate by more than half.

"Miss Su, you don't need to be so polite with me. The reason I spoke up for you is because I've long disliked the Seventh Prince."

Living with the Seventh Prince of Nan Yue in the Sifang Pavilion, they saw each other all the time.

Because of the scar on her face, Ji Wu was most afraid of being called ugly. As a result, every time they met, the Seventh Prince would make sarcastic remarks, saying that she was hiding her true face and dared not show it to others.

"Really, I've wanted to beat him up for a long time, but even though I'm an empress, I don't have your courage to kill someone with a single strike, so I really admire you."

Vice Minister Luo was waiting outside the pawnshop.

He came here to pawn a vase because his family is desperately short of money; if they don't sell something, they won't be able to afford food.

However, as a high-ranking official of the third rank in the imperial court, it would be too embarrassing for him to personally pawn his belongings, so he waited in the carriage outside and let Fan Dajiang go in as a decorative vase.

Su Qianqian is rolling in money, yet she turns a blind eye to the Luo family's dire straits; it's really too much.

If it were Mingfang, who is so wealthy, she would definitely help the Luo family.

The girl's coming-of-age ceremony was extremely lavish; even a glimpse of her skin between her fingers would be enough to provide the Luo family with a life of luxury.

I heard Su Xiaobao was kidnapped. She deserved it. Who told that girl to be so high-profile? It would be strange if she wasn't being watched.

As Vice Minister Luo was pondering this, he heard cheers coming from the pawnshop.

He found it strange. It was just a matter of letting Fan Dajiang go in as a decorative vase, and the price wouldn't exceed one hundred taels of silver. Why were there cheers coming from inside?

That vase is clearly very ordinary, with nothing special about it! So why has it garnered so much praise?

After a long time, Fan Dajiang finally came out of the pawnshop with fifty taels of silver, got into the carriage, and handed the money bag containing the silver ingots to Vice Minister Luo.

Vice Minister Luo's face showed slight anger. "Dajiang, I've only made you a decorative vase, why have you wasted so much time?"

The key issue is that after all this time, he only got fifty taels of silver, which is far from the price he expected.

"Sir, I heard something truly momentous at the pawnshop."

Luo Shilang's eyes widened. He felt that the big news Fan Dajiang had heard was probably about Su Xiaobao. Could it be that Su Xiaobao had been killed?

If Xiao Bao dies a terrible death, maybe that girl will learn a lesson from it.

"Sir, I overheard another customer inside saying that Miss Su killed the wicked seventh prince of Nan Yue. The pawnshop manager and the staff all cheered, which is why the receiving process was a bit slow and made you wait a long time."

Minister Luo was terrified, and his spine, which he had been trying to straighten, immediately hunched over.

Good heavens, that little brat is really good at causing trouble.

Everyone in the Great Qi Dynasty, from the emperor to the other ministers, respected the Seventh Prince of Nan Yue, but that girl actually killed him.

Fortunately, the Luo family had already severed ties with that girl, otherwise they would definitely have been implicated.

To be honest, that girl doesn't seem like a member of the Luo family at all; the Luo family members aren't that audacious.

"My lord, I've heard that the Seventh Prince and his men have committed numerous murders in our capital. Many people have filed complaints with the authorities, but they've all been suppressed. So, when people heard that Miss Su killed the Seventh Prince, they all said that Miss Su is a just and upright official who stands up for the people."

Minister Luo curled his lip, "What a load of rubbish, a righteous official! No matter how powerful Su Qianqian is, she can't fight against imperial power."

Next, not only will Emperor Qi Jing cause trouble for Su Qianqian.

The Southern Yue Kingdom will not let her go either. It is said that the Seventh Prince was the most beloved son of the old emperor of Southern Yue. After receiving news of the Seventh Prince's death, the old emperor of Southern Yue will definitely deal with Su Qianqian at all costs.

The Grand Preceptor of the Southern Yue Kingdom possessed unfathomable strength, and it was said that he could ascend to heaven and descend to the earth, and even snatch people from the clutches of the King of Hell.

When the time comes, the Grand Preceptor of Nan Yue will definitely let Su Qianqian know what it means to have heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people.

In Gu's Teahouse, Hu Pingfan listened to Gou Dan recount how Miss Su killed the Seventh Prince with a single blow, over and over again, unable to get enough of it.

The seventh prince was very favored in Nan Yue, which is why he developed an arrogant and domineering personality.

After arriving in the capital of Daqi, he not only did not restrain himself, but became even more outrageous, committing many evil deeds and causing widespread resentment among the people.

The worst thing he could have done was kidnap Miss Su's younger brother. How dare he try to teach Miss Su his lesson? He deserves to die a horrible death.

Dog Egg's mouth was dry from talking, and just then, he had something to do at the Ministry of Justice, so he left.

Lord Xue happened to arrive, and he was just as excited as Hu Pingfan.

Lord Xue was the Vice Minister of Rites, and he was in charge of receiving the Seventh Prince of Nan Yue. He had been harassed by the Seventh Prince countless times, and sometimes he could no longer bear it.

But he didn't really have the courage to go against the Seventh Prince.

There's also the matter of Lord Feng's daughter from the Ministry of Revenue. Lord Xue heard about it a couple of days ago and originally wanted to mention it to Miss Su, but it just so happened that Miss Su was having her coming-of-age ceremony.

The coming-of-age ceremony was a joyous occasion, so he didn't mention the bad things about the Feng family.

So Miss Su is really amazing. She actually slit the Seventh Prince's throat with one stroke. It was so satisfying.

No wonder he chose her.

However, Emperor Qi Jing is likely to make things difficult for Miss Su next, so he must come up with a foolproof plan.

And the retaliation from the Southern Yue Kingdom might come crashing down like a storm.

"Brother Pingfan, we must have a good discussion next. We must protect Miss Su's safety. I heard that the Southern Yue National Preceptor's skills are no less than those of Master Tianyuan."

Hu Pingfan nodded, "Brother Xue, what you said makes sense, but you don't need to boost the morale of Nan Yue and diminish Miss Su's prestige. Miss Su is no ordinary person, and she may not necessarily be at a disadvantage when facing the National Preceptor of Nan Yue."

Hu Pingfan said this, but in his heart he still didn't want Miss Su to be in danger.

He gambled everything to follow Miss Su wholeheartedly, so Miss Su absolutely cannot be harmed.

"If someone as talented as Miss Su were to be ruined by the Southern Yue National Preceptor, it would be a disaster for the people of Great Qi. I will go to Master Tianyuan first thing tomorrow morning to see if he has any way to deal with the Southern Yue National Preceptor."

After they each tasted a small cake, Hu Pingfan finally spoke the words that had been weighing on his mind.

"Miss Su is calm and dignified, compassionate towards all living beings, and decisive in her actions; she has the bearing of an emperor."

Lord Xue was terrified and quickly warned, "Shh, don't say this out loud, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion."
