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

After the Luo family members left the Luo residence, Lord Xue came to the door with the house deed that Vice Minister Luo had previously mortgaged and took the house away directly.

Poor Minister Luo, his house was completely emptied, he didn't even have a bed to sleep in, and he even lost his empty mansion.

That night, we had no choice but to stay temporarily at a guesthouse with our family.

Madam Luo was still seriously ill and bedridden. She was carried to the inn by Luo Minggeng and Luo Mingxin.

After putting down the bed board, the two of them were so exhausted that they collapsed on the floor.

When Luo Minggeng heard that Vice Minister Luo was booking a room and had arranged a superior room for Luo Mingfang, he saw Luo Mingfang go upstairs to rest with her maid. He quickly begged, "Grandfather, please give me a superior room as well."

As a result, Vice Minister Luo arranged for the whole family to stay in dirty and messy inferior rooms, while only giving Luo Mingfang an superior room.

"Minggeng, daughters should be pampered. Your grandfather doesn't have much money, so he can only afford to rent one superior room."

Luo Minggeng sighed, while Luo Mingxin, standing behind the two, silently rolled his eyes. If his grandfather had treated Miss Su half as well as he had treated Mingfang, the Luo family wouldn't have ended up like this.

For dinner, the whole family ate cornbread made from mixed grains. Luo Mingfang looked disgusted and didn't eat a single bite, which made Luo Shilang very distressed.

"Mingfang, I'm sorry to trouble you. Don't worry, Grandfather will find a way to rent a small house for you to live in tomorrow."

Luo Mingfang suggested, "Grandfather, I heard that Fifth Uncle bought a small house. He is your biological son and has an obligation to support you and Grandmother. Why don't we move in with Fifth Uncle?"

Vice Minister Luo thought the suggestion was excellent. The fifth son was his own son, and it was only natural for a son to support his parents.

"Okay, let's move to your fifth uncle's place tomorrow."

Luo Minggeng had met his fifth uncle, Luo Yan, some time ago and knew that his fifth uncle's house was very small, with only one main room, one storage room, and one small kitchen. The small kitchen was a temporary structure and could not accommodate so many people.

"Grandfather, Fifth Uncle's place is too small. Why don't I go and beg Miss Su instead? She is your own granddaughter, and she certainly wouldn't want to see you in such a miserable state."

He wasn't home during the day; he went to see the giant eagle near the plum garden.

I envy Miss Su very much; she was the first person to be able to travel through the sky.

I heard Feng Yuanxi say that he had touched that big eagle. Feng Yuanxi was particularly proud when he said this.

Luo Minggeng felt that given the blood relationship between the Luo family and Miss Su, he should have been able to touch the giant eagle.

"Grandfather, please let me go and plead with him."

Vice Minister Luo slapped Luo Minggeng across the face: "You're not allowed to go. Even if the Luo family starves to death, we can't lose our backbone. If your fifth uncle can't accommodate us, we'll sleep on the floor."

Rats and cockroaches kept popping up in the lower-class rooms, keeping Vice Minister Luo awake all night.

On the second day of the morning court session, Vice Minister Luo, sporting dark circles under his eyes, started causing trouble again.

He stepped forward, holding up his jade tablet, and advised, "Your Majesty, the golden eagle in Miss Su's hand is very large, with golden feathers; it is an auspicious sign and should be presented to Your Majesty."

Emperor Jing of Qi was very pleased to hear this. Musical instruments were his favorite, but he was also very interested in pets.

Unfortunately, my uncle took back the big, snow-white dog we had earlier.

Who wouldn't want to ride a giant bird soaring through the sky?

Marquis Guiping jumped out: "Old dog Luo, how dare you covet the giant eagle! That giant eagle was a coming-of-age gift that Yu'er gave to Miss Su. How dare you covet a coming-of-age gift? I'll beat you to death!"

Luo, the Vice Minister, had his official hat knocked off in an instant, and was also caught by his pigtail, with a large lock of his hair being pulled out, causing him to tremble with pain.

Why is Marquis Guiping acting like a shrew? He just came up and started grabbing my hair. It's so annoying.

It's all because Marquis Guiping actually wore the same old official robes to court today, instead of wearing any strange or unusual attire. So he assumed Marquis Guiping wasn't there, which is why he dared to make a move on that big bird.

Lord Xue and the others felt no pity for Vice Minister Luo's miserable state. Alas, this was entirely his own doing. He had to rack his brains to scheme against his own granddaughter, and that's why he ended up like this.

It's truly baffling that even after falling to such a low position, Vice Minister Luo still shows no remorse.

After the Marquis of Guiping finished his beating, he asked Emperor Jing of Qi, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, if I gave you that big bird, would you dare to ride it and fly into the sky?"

Emperor Qi Jing shook his head. He wasn't as reckless as Miss Su. Who would dare ride that thing into the sky? They'd probably fall and die.

"I am the Son of Heaven, and I will not plunder the wealth of the people. I am not interested in that big bird."

After the morning court session concluded and Marquis Guiping left, Emperor Jing of Qi summoned the ministers and vice ministers of the six ministries again and announced to the public:

"I have decided to give Miss Su's black stone mine in Quancheng to the Nanyue Kingdom as compensation. In addition, I will send three hundred carts of grain to the Nanyue Kingdom as an apology."

As the Vice Minister of Rites, Lord Xue also has the right to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has harmed the people of our Great Qi and deserves to die."

With his face covered in bruises, Vice Minister Luo argued, "Even if she deserves punishment, it should be handled by the government; it shouldn't be up to her to decide on her own."

Lord Xue thought to himself, "What a load of rubbish! So many people have sued the Seventh Prince in the government, but no one is standing up for them."

Even the Minister of Revenue, Feng, went to His Majesty to complain about his daughter's matter, but His Majesty still managed to downplay it and let it go.

But since Lord Xue hasn't questioned the court's strength yet, he has no choice but to keep quiet.

Because Miss Su said that life is more precious than anything else, and no matter when or where, you must save your life as soon as possible.

The news that Emperor Qi Jing wanted to take away Su Qianqian's coal mine as compensation to the Southern Yue Kingdom quickly reached the Guiping Marquis's residence.

Marquis Guiping and his wife, along with Gong Yu, immediately set off to the palace to stand up for Su Qianqian.

Especially Marquis Guiping, who was carrying a large knife, solemnly promised: "Future daughter-in-law, rest assured, as long as I, Marquis Guiping, am alive, I will never let anyone bully my daughter-in-law."

Su Qianqian stopped the three of them. Although Marquis Guiping was the Empress Dowager's brother and was protected by her, if the Emperor really angered him, he would be punished.

"Don't worry, I'm not one to suffer losses. It just so happens that the Empress Dowager has finished her flower tea, so I'll go to the palace to deliver some more. Just wait for my good news."

Gong Yu wished he could stick to her all the time: "Girl, shall I go with you?"

"No need, I can go by myself."

Su Qianqian and Xiangming boarded the carriage and left.

The carriage had long since disappeared, but Gong Yu was still standing in the same spot, like a stone statue.

Marquis Guiping patted his son on the shoulder and sighed, "Son, you can't go on like this. As someone who's been through it all, I have to give you some serious advice."

"My son, let me tell you, Miss Su is a woman destined for great things. If you cling to her too much and keep bothering her, she will gradually get tired of you. Once she gets tired of you and distances herself from you, you will gradually become a resentful woman, and in the end, you will definitely be abandoned. So, son, you must adjust your mindset and stop clinging to Miss Su all day long. You'll scare her away."
