Chapter 948 - 953: He succeeded!
Chapter 948: Chapter 953: He succeeded!Su Ke heeded Qin Yi’s order to bring Su Pan’er and her daughter to the capital, and news of their imminent arrival spread quickly upon Su Ke’s return to Luoyan Village.
Soon, the Qin Mansion was again besieged by all manner of people.
Unlike the visitors who had come to see Su Pan’er when she returned last time, who were mostly villagers she had treated, this time the visitors were officials and gentry from hundreds of miles around.
Not only did the County Magistrate of Luoyan Village hurry over, but in the following days, officials of various ranks also arrived!
Among those who surprised Su Pan’er the most was Prince Wei of Yongzhou City, who had sent his card expressing his intentions to visit Su Pan’er and congratulate her on the joy of having a baby.
It left Su Pan’er quite astonished!
After all, Qin Yi and Prince Wei had had little to do with each other in the past, always keeping to their respective spheres. Yet now, with her having given birth to a daughter, Prince Wei had gone out of his way to offer his congratulations! Su Pan’er could not help but ponder the implications of this.
She had a vague feeling that Prince Wei’s intention to visit might be related to the recent changes on Qin Yi’s side.
Unfortunately, in these times, information was not readily available, and news lagged far behind, which made it difficult for her to act!
Determined, she made up her mind to improve this passive situation in the future.
Word that Prince Wei was coming to congratulate the miracle healer Su Pan’er quickly spread through Luoyan Village like a gust of wind, thrusting the Qin Family once more into the spotlight.
Didn’t Mrs. Qin-Li detest this granddaughter, saying they should drown her in a piss pot after her birth? Yet look now—Prince Wei himself is coming to offer his congratulations! That old countrywoman, acting like she’s doing a favor by being a step-grandmother, treating her granddaughter as less than human! If Prince Wei were to find out, she’d get her just deserts!
In the rural hamlet where people loved to talk, everyone discussed the matter.
Su Pan’er calmly awaited developments, as if watching the fish play, while instructing her servants to thoroughly clean the house inside and out in preparation for Prince Wei’s visit.
Before Prince Wei arrived, however, a letter from Qin Yi journeyed south by caravan and reached Su Pan’er’s hands.
This letter was written by Qin Yi after he had conquered Xiangyang City. It emphasized the incident involving the phantom of the Azure Dragon over and within the city walls!
While he didn’t elaborate on the specifics, he wrote about the rascal pig being chased by lightning strikes and the inability to find any news of it. Qin Yi expressed his guilt in the letter and mentioned the current dire situation, saying he had no choice but to rapidly head north. However, he left behind some herd to continue
True to its name, the rascal pig, seeing no way to escape, began rolling around on the bed, crying out exceptionally loud.
To others’ ears, it was nothing but a series of pig screams.
The noise startled Little Sugar Bean so much that she instantly woke up and began to cry.
Su Pan’er clumsily picked up Little Sugar Bean to soothe her, while fiercely scolding the rascal pig, "Keep bawling, keep on and I’ll hit you until you dare not make another peep. If you don’t believe me, just try it!"
The rascal pig immediately quieted down obediently but still mumbled its grievances: "But you shouldn’t... you shouldn’t treat Grandpa Pig this way for the sake of outsiders! Your own body is in such bad shape, you need Dragon Saliva too! How can you ignore yourself and only think of others! Woo woo woo..."
The more it spoke, the more aggrieved it felt, unable to help but throw another tantrum.
