In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1079 - 1074: Fiery Pain!

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1074: Fiery Pain!

"Let go! Mind your own business, and leave mine alone. Besides, shouldn’t you be worrying about yourself?"

Qin Shuan’er gave him a sly smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes: "I heard your mentor is quite pleased with you recently and even intends to betroth his daughter to you. Why aren’t you at home preparing the token for the bride, instead of meddling in others’ affairs?"

After saying that, she pulled hard and snatched her sleeve from his grasp, turning to slip out of the cave.

But in the next moment, she was pulled back by Su Ke.

Qin Shuan’er was immediately furious, opened her mouth to curse at him, but Su Ke covered her mouth.

"Don’t talk, just listen!"

He commanded in a deep voice.

This immediately caused Qin Shuan’er to stop struggling and heed closely, but she didn’t hear anything.

Just as she was about to speak, Su Ke "shushed" her with a soft sound, compelling Qin Shuan’er to wait impatiently.

Soon after, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside.

Shortly thereafter, an unfamiliar woman’s voice was heard: "Your servant greets the Empress."

Another woman responded softly: "Is the matter taken care of?"

"To report to the Empress, your servant is useless, your servant deserves to die! The matter, that matter... it has not yet been taken care of."

"Hmm? Not taken care of?"

The woman’s words were full of warning.

"However!"

The younger woman seemed very nervous, hurrying to add: "But, your servant did find out about something else."

"What is it?" the woman scolded, sounding very impatient.

"Your servant found out that Prince Qi also brought his two young sons to the Flower Appreciation Banquet. One of the boys is four years and six months old, and the other is nearly one year and three months. Also..."

The girl claiming to be a servant quickly replied.

People here usually consider a newborn baby as one year old, and after the spring begins, they add another year.

So, the two children she mentioned were actually three and a half years old and three months old, respectively.

Qin Shuan’er stretched her neck to see if she could identify the two who were speaking.

However, the spot they were in was atop a rockery, and looking through a crevice from where they were, they could only see two nodding heads very close together, seemingly whispering secrets, which frustrated Qin Shuan’er as she couldn’t make out the words clearly.

Next to her, Su Ke felt rather uncomfortable.

Qin Shuan’er lay prone over the crevice in the rockery, her legs flirtatiously brushing against him, unintentionally or otherwise.

Especially from his position, half-leaning, he could see Qin Shuan’er’s delicate feet in embroidered shoes, so cleverly touching him at times against his body that he found himself unexpectedly distracted.

He turned somewhat sheepishly and, not wanting to miss any part of the conversation, leaned closer into the narrow crevice, mimicking Qin Shuan’er’s actions.

The space between the crevice was barely enough for one, let alone two heads squeezing in, naturally making it uncomfortable for both, prompting Qin Shuan’er to push him away several times.

Already distracted, the places her small hands touched felt like a fire igniting, making Su Ke so comfortable he almost moaned aloud. He longed to pull the soft body beside him into his arms and cherish it tenderly...

But he remembered it was neither the time nor the place, so he forced himself to hold back, arching his back and bending over to hide his sudden embarrassment. That insubordinate part of him had risen in full rebellion, as if ready to charge into battle, bravely striking down enemies and admitting his own defeat...

"What do you think they were talking about, the two of them?"

Qin Shuan’er suddenly turned her head and leaned in to whisper into Su Ke’s ear.

"How would I know, I don’t have the ears of the wind."

Su Ke instinctively dodged, yet couldn’t help but lean closer to her. His voice was very hoarse, making Qin Shuan’er take another look at him. She thought he must be scared, so scared that even his voice had changed. She glared at him twice, this spineless man, unexpectedly afraid to such an extent!

She then continued to peer outside.

The two heads that had been whispering to each other finally parted.

The woman let out a cold laugh, "Four years, six months, and one year, three months? Unexpectedly, Prince Qi has quite the nerve! Isn’t he afraid this is a trap, yet he’s willing to jump right in?"

Despite her words, she knew very well that wealth was within sight and that given the slightest chance, probably no one would want to give it up.

Like her...

"Your servant does not know."

The young woman’s response was very light.

"Alright, this is your reward, don’t let anyone discover your identity. If there’s more need, I will contact you again. Go now!"

"Yes..."

The young woman softly agreed, her footsteps gradually fading away.

After the two had left, Qin Shuan’er finally realized something was off.

When had she and Su Ke gotten this close?

She quickly jumped away from him, glaring at him furiously, "Don’t think just because we overheard those words that it cancels out what you said before. All you men have many tricks up your sleeve, scheming this and that, never a sincere one among you, all no good!"

Having said this, she launched a kick at him, which made Su Ke clench his leg in pain and gasp for air, and then she quickly exited the rockery.

"Wait! Shuang’er, I haven’t finished my words..."

Su Ke wanted to say more, but Qin Shuan’er didn’t give him the chance, soon slipping out of the rockery. After looking left and right to ensure no one was there, she quickly ran in the other direction.

Su Ke also squeezed out from the rockery soon after. Watching her retreating figure, he suddenly sobered up in the next moment!

He slapped his forehead in annoyance!

He had always treated Shuang’er as a close sister, since when had he harbored such impure thoughts?

He lifted his hand and fiercely slapped his own cheek, thought about it, felt he deserved it, and couldn’t help but raise his hand again to deliver another slap on the other cheek. Feeling the burning pain on his face, he felt a bit more relieved in his heart.

Suddenly, voices came from nearby, and Su Ke was startled out of his self-pity. Quickly making a leap, he ran back the way he came. Soon after crossing the rockery again, he jumped off the path and strolled leisurely, pretending to admire the surroundings, and slowly made his way out of the path.

The Imperial Garden was bustling with activity.

The Banquet at the Palace had been laid out under the water pavilion in the Imperial Garden, surrounded by carved screens, dividing the Imperial Garden into two areas. Everyone was laughing and talking, naturally staying away from the screens.

Su Ke wandered among the crowd for a while, but did not see Prince Qi and the others.

On second thought, even if Prince Qi and the feudal lords were here, they probably wouldn’t show up at this moment. With this in mind, he relaxed considerably. Seeing that the stone tables in the pavilion ahead were laid with many pastries, he quickened his pace.

However, behind him came the calling voice of Xue Qian, "Su brother, where did you run off to? You’ve given me quite the search!"

This guy just won’t leave me alone!

Su Ke rolled his eyes inwardly, and remembering the question he had asked Qin Shuan’er earlier, along with seeing Xue Qian approaching with a big smile, an unidentified anger ignited in his heart.

"Just took a walk around, I don’t share Brother Xue’s enthusiasm."
