After returning to her room, Su Jinli didn't immediately rest. Instead, she sat at her desk and reviewed her plan again. She knew this counterattack was crucial to her and Jiang Yan's future, as well as the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She couldn't afford to make any mistakes. She rehearsed every step in her mind, considering possible emergencies and strategies for dealing with them.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the capital, the Wang family and the Liu clan's in-laws were plotting. Believing their rumor of a husband-killing nemesis had already put Su Jinli in a difficult position, they plotted how to pressure the Minister of Rites to swiftly rescind the Emperor's marriage decree. Unaware, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan had quietly laid a trap, waiting for them to fall into it.

The night passed in silence. The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto Su Jinli's face. She had risen early and meticulously dressed. She wore a pink silk dress, a white gauze cape, and a delicate pearl flower in her hair, appearing both fresh and refined, yet dignified. She carefully examined herself in the mirror, and after confirming everything was correct, she took Lingge out to the temple.

The streets of the capital were already bustling with activity. Su Jinli's carriage slowly moved along the streets. She looked out the window at the bustling crowd outside, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. The carriage soon arrived in front of the temple. Su Jinli disembarked and, accompanied by Lingge, entered the temple.

The temple was bustling with activity, filled with incense and people. Su Jinli prayed devoutly before the Buddha statue, silently hoping for the best. Just then, she spotted Wang Banxian not far away. As agreed, he was sitting in a corner of the temple, with a fortune-telling stand in front of him.

Su Jinli walked towards Wang Banxian. Seeing the daughter of the prime minister, the people around her cast curious glances. Wang Banxian, upon seeing Su Jinli, immediately stood up and exclaimed, "My dear lady, your brows are shining, and your face is rosy. You are destined to be a lucky charm for your husband! Whoever marries you will surely rise to great heights and have a promising future!"

Su Jinli pretended to be surprised and asked, "Really? Sir, please don't talk nonsense."

Wang Banxian patted his chest and assured, "Miss, I, Wang Banxian, have never made a mistake in fortune-telling. Your fate, the fortune of a prosperous husband, is truly rare in the world. In the future, your husband will surely rise to the highest position in the government and become a famous prime minister!"

When the people around heard Wang Banxian's words, they immediately started to talk. Some were surprised, some were skeptical, and some began to believe Wang Banxian's words. Just then, a familiar voice came from the crowd: "Oh? Is this true?"

Everyone turned to look and saw Jiang Yan, dressed in a long, cyan robe and holding a folding fan, approaching gracefully. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Sir, do you have any basis for saying this young lady brings good fortune to her husband?"

Wang Banxian was secretly delighted to see Jiang Yan's cooperation and quickly said, "Sir, I've observed this young lady's horoscope and it shows a destiny that is rare in a century, a blessing for a husband. From a numerological perspective, her husband will surely rise to a high position in his official career and achieve great things."

Jiang Yan looked at Su Jinli with a smile in his eyes and said, "In that case, if I could marry this young lady, it would be a great honor."

Su Jinli's cheeks flushed slightly, and she scolded him, "Master Jiang, stop teasing me."

The people around them all smiled knowingly when they saw this scene. Some began to whisper, "It seems that this daughter of the prime minister's family is not a bad omen for her husband, but a blessing for him. The previous rumors seem to be false."

Jiang Yan and Su Jinli discussed fortune-telling with Wang Banxian again in the temple, attracting a growing crowd. Their conversation was overheard by those with ulterior motives, and word quickly spread among the crowd. The news that Su Jinli was a lucky charm for her husband spread like wildfire throughout the capital.

Meanwhile, the Wang family and the Liu family's in-laws are still in the dark. They don't know that the rumors they carefully planned have been cleverly dispelled by Su Jinli and Jiang Yan, who have even turned the tables on them. Next, how will Su Jinli and Jiang Yan further deal with the conspiracy of the Wang family and the Liu family's in-laws? This exciting struggle continues...

As time went on, the rumor that Su Jinli was a blessing for her husband spread more and more widely in the capital, becoming almost universally known. On the streets and alleys, people were discussing the miraculous fate of the prime minister's daughter, scoffing at the previously circulating rumors that she would bring bad luck to her husband.

When the Wang family and the Liu clan finally learned of the news, they panicked. They hadn't expected Su Jinli to so easily turn the tide, turning rumors that had originally been unfavorable to her into favorable ones. The Wang family's master paced back and forth in his study, cursing Wang Banxian for being a traitor and ruining their plans. The Liu clan's relatives also gathered to discuss their next move.

"We can't just let this go!" Master Wang gritted his teeth and said, "We have to find a way to turn the situation around."

"But now the news that Su Jinli is a lucky charm for her husband has spread throughout the capital. It may be difficult for people to believe us if we spread rumors again." A cousin of Liu said worriedly.

"Hmph! Then let's start with Jiang Yan!" A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Wang family master. "Let's go collect evidence against Jiang Yan and see if we can find anything to bring him down. As long as Jiang Yan is in trouble, even if Su Jinli has a lucky marriage, it will be useless."

As a result, the Wang family and the Liu family's relatives began to secretly send people to inquire about Jiang Yan's affairs, trying to find his flaws. However, Jiang Yan was usually cautious and upright, so they spent a lot of effort but found nothing.

Meanwhile, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan also became aware of the actions of the Wang and Liu clans. Jiang Yan became even more cautious in the court, avoiding giving his opponents any leverage. Meanwhile, Su Jinli, back at the Prime Minister's residence, continued to plot how to completely crush the Wang and Liu clans' conspiracy.
