In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1026: Death News!

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Death News!

This remark caused Qin Yi some embarrassment, and he turned his face away.

"Don’t ask anymore. From now on, if the Qin Family’s people come looking for you again, just ignore them."

"Should I ignore Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, and Shuang’er too?" Su Pan’er asked with a curious lift of her eyebrows.

"You know very well what I mean!"

Qin Yi said this with a feigned fierceness before his tone softened again, "In any case, you just don’t see them!"

Qin Yi had a complex attitude towards the Qin family members.

He was somewhat supportive of them, but that support was premised on their abilities and self-awareness. Yet what were those Qin family members doing now? What did they take him for?

Su Pan’er naturally agreed.

After Qin Yi had played with Little Sugar Bean for a while, and Little Yanyan had left Huayang Palace reluctantly to go to her lessons, he then proceeded to the Purple Zen Hall to take care of state affairs.

Watching his retreating figure, Su Pan’er turned to instruct Jiu Lan.

"Go check it out and see what kind of trouble the Qin Family has stirred up now!"

The members of the Qin Family had indeed annoyed Qin Yi this time!

Everyone in Shengjing knew about Qin Yi’s attitude towards Mrs. Qin-Li. His Majesty did not have much fondness for his foster mother, Mrs. Qin-Li. However, Mrs. Qin-Li, shameless as she was, never ceased to cause trouble and bring shame to Qin Yi.

But this time, the person who had angered Qin Yi was not her, but his second brother, Qin Xiao.

In his early years, Qin Xiao had been a shopkeeper in Yongze County Town, and later he became entangled with a Qing Guan, who bewitched him to the point of obsession. After his first wife, Mrs. Qin-Chen, discovered the affair, the two of them made a fierce commotion, and it even reached the point where they talked about divorcing and remarrying. When Mrs. Qin-Chen made a scene and returned to her maiden family, he openly took the Qing Guan into his home, living a blissful life enviable to all but immortal beings.

It was not until Su Pan’er took everyone to the Capital City that he brought this Qing Guan with him to the capital.

Upon receiving the news, Mrs. Qin-Chen rushed to the Capital City as well. However, Qin Xiao was already devoted to the Qing Guan and didn’t care for Mrs. Qin-Chen, whom he considered a shrew. He naturally ordered the gatekeeper to turn her away.

But Mrs. Qin-Chen was not someone to be taken lightly. She had chased all the way to the capital, running out of travel expenses on the way, and now penniless, she was not willing to accept her current plight as the wife. She spent her days waiting outside the Qin Family’s Mansion, biding her time.

Indeed, perseverance paid off, and she finally got her opportunity.

One day, as Qin Xiao was leaving the mansion, Mrs. Qin-Chen, who had been hiding nearby, suddenly leaped out to stop the carriage, grabbing Qin Xiao and dragging him down. She berated him non-stop, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

"At that time, it was said to be quite a commotion, causing the traffic on several streets near the Qin Family’s Mansion to come to a complete standstill. Second Master Qin refused to yield, and Mrs. Qin, the second wife, refused to back down either. The two began fighting in the street. In a fit of rage, Second Master Qin accidentally pushed Mrs. Qin to the ground. As he looked at her, still hurling abuses, he drew a broadsword from the waist of a guard and swung it at her waist..."

Jiu Lan spoke hesitantly, clearly troubled, "With the first swing, Mrs. Qin seemed to dodge a bit and missed being struck. She was greatly startled by this and became furious. Provoking him, she dared him to chop her with one stroke, or else, even if it caused a scandal in Jinluan Bao Hall, he, Qin Xiao, would not get off scot-free..."

Infuriated, Qin Xiao cursed and leaped to his feet, brandishing the broadsword to strike again.

But he was stopped by the servants beside him.

Nevertheless, Mrs. Qin-Chen continued to berate outside the Qin Family’s Mansion, and Qin Yueshi, seeing the commotion at the front gate, came out and forcibly dragged Mrs. Qin-Chen inside the mansion.

This incident became a joke that spread throughout the entire Capital City.

What no one expected, however, was that just one night later, Mrs. Qin-Chen was found hanged at the front gate of the Qin Family’s Mansion.

All of a sudden, Shengjing was abuzz!

Whether Mrs. Qin-Chen had hung herself or had been murdered was not the focus of public concern.

Rather, it was Qin Xiao’s attitude that mattered. He had raised the broadsword with the intent to kill Mrs. Qin-Chen, and this had occurred in broad daylight, witnessed by many. Even if he wanted to cover it up, it was impossible to hide from so many watching eyes.

And Mrs. Qin-Chen’s hanging in front of the Qin Family’s Mansion gate was witnessed by everyone. To say that it had nothing to do with Qin Xiao... who would believe that?

Soon, memorials to the Emperor denouncing the Qin Family flooded onto Qin Yi’s dragon desk like a blizzard, giving Qin Yi a massive headache.

At the moment, he naturally did not wish to send the tea leaves to the Qin Family.

Listening to Jiu Lan’s recount, Su Pan’er understood Qin Yi’s thoughts.

"Have someone keep watch over the Qin Family’s Mansion. If there’s any anomaly, remember to inform this palace immediately. Understood?"

Remembering Mrs. Qin-Li’s unreasonable and persistent nature, Su Pan’er decided to take preventive measures.

"Yes, Empress."

Jiu Lan hurriedly responded.

Meanwhile, Qin Yi was also swamped with affairs of the Qin Family.

Remembering how yesterday, over ten ministers jointly submitted memorials on this matter, he felt such a headache that he threw the memorials aside carelessly and rubbed his eyes exhaustedly.

A young eunuch walked in briskly and whispered into Eunuch An’s ear. Eunuch An nodded, dismissed the young eunuch, and then stepped forward to pick up the teapot to refill His Majesty’s cup.

In a subdued, thin voice, he said, "Your Majesty, several ministers from the Ministry of Personnel are kneeling outside the grand hall seeking an audience. They also said, they also said..." Eunuch An carefully lifted his head to glance at Qin Yi’s expression.

"Speak!"

Qin Yi put down his hand and leaned back against the dragon throne.

"They also said that if Your Majesty does not see them today, they will kneel to death outside the grand hall."

After Eunuch An finished speaking, his already somewhat hunched back bent even more.

Were they forcing him to deal with Qin Xiao?

Qin Yi irritably stood up and paced back and forth in the grand hall. Unbidden, memories of his younger days surfaced, when his second brother carried him on his back and joyfully competed with the children from the neighboring village. A flood of emotions overwhelmed him.

The so-called act of ’righteousness destroys relatives’ is easy to proclaim when it doesn’t fall upon oneself. It’s simple to say and straightforward to act on!

But when the sword of Damocles truly dangles above one’s own head, all those words turn out to be emptiness. Yet now, these ministers left him no room for hesitation!

Qin Yi kept pacing back and forth, his heavy footsteps echoing his current mood.

Unable to come to a decision or to cut the Gordian knot, he could only let time slip away little by little.

And the situation on Qin Yi’s side was quickly reported to Su Pan’er.

The one who brought the message was naturally Jiu Lan.

After considering for a moment, Su Pan’er had someone summon Qin Yueshi to enter the palace.

In such a moment, Qin Yueshi naturally suffered greatly!

Even if she forcefully suppressed the fear in her heart, her face now was pale and ashen from fright, clearly showing that she was terrified!

Kneeling before Su Pan’er, her legs trembled uncontrollably.

Su Pan’er had Qin Yueshi helped to rise and dismissed everyone else before she began to inquire about the current state of the Qin Family’s Mansion.

"Not too bad... it’s just that the mansion has been so oppressive recently, it leaves me unable to catch my breath..."
