In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1108 - 1102: Do You Have a Girl You Like?

Chapter 1108: Chapter 1102: Do You Have a Girl You Like?

However, Su Lao Si burst into hearty laughter, patted Qin Yi’s hand, and without saying much, turned and left the room.

The other members of the Su Family also left one after another, the only exception being Su Huarong who had not yet departed.

"We are brothers, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Su Huarong and Su Ke were first cousins. In the countryside back then, their lives didn’t intersect much. Although he was the eldest son of the second branch, following Su Sikong’s death and Su Yue’er’s disappearance, among the younger generation, it was naturally he who stepped forward to support the entire Su Family. But it was only after he had ventured into officialdom that he realized many people and many matters were best handled with the help of his own brothers.

Among the juniors in the Su Family, if one were to say who was the most capable and most promising, it would naturally be Su Ke!

It was for this reason that Su Huarong took the initiative to ask this question. He didn’t mind lending a helping hand to Su Ke when necessary.

"What is it you wish to discuss with me?"

Su Ke, a bit slow to catch on, but seeing the earnestness in Su Huarong’s eyebrows and eyes, he calmed down, propped himself up, and sat at the head of the bed. Having slept deeply for several days, he felt light as if lacking a foundation.

"First cousin brother, do you have a girl you like?"

The question was so abrupt that Su Huarong nearly couldn’t answer.

Su Huarong had married a few years ago. His bride was the concubine’s daughter of the great businessman Cao Ze, who dominated the horse trade across north and south.

When Qin Yi’s military was stationed at the foot of Qilian Mountain, looking covetously at the many horses on the hillside but unable to secure any, it was Su Huarong who, with his silver tongue, personally sought Cao Ze and convinced him to sell several thousand fine horses to Qin Yi, which laid the foundation for Qin Yi’s successful uprising.

Cao Ze’s business was vast and extensive, with the horse trade being the most lucrative. The lush water and grass on Qilian Mountain nourished countless strong and enduring steeds, which became coveted targets among various powers. And when Cao Ze agreed to sell horses to Qin Yi, his only condition was that Qin Yi take his concubine’s daughter as a wife. However, after several twists and turns, it was Su Huarong who ended up marrying her.

After the marriage, the couple saw each other seldom due to distance; the concubine’s daughter still lived on Qilian Mountain, while Su Huarong, after several relocations, ultimately entered Shengjing to become an official.

After some thought, although Su Huarong did not understand why Su Ke would bring up such a question, he surmised that it must be related to Su Ke’s current illness.

He suddenly smiled, nodding, "Yes! There was indeed a woman in the past... Time has passed, and today she is married, and I too have a family. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Su Huarong joked with a chuckle.

Su Ke was silent for a long time, then gently shook his head, "Have you ever thought about..."

"Thought about it, how could I not have."

Su Huarong didn’t hide his past from his cousin, "But as a person, you must always look forward. Life is never perfect, if the scenery along the way is too beautiful and you miss it, then it’s gone. And more beautiful vistas await you ahead. Let go of it! To gain, you must relinquish; once you let go, you’ll find that everything isn’t so significant. Isn’t that right?"

"If I could be half as easygoing as your first cousin brother, that would be great."

Su Ke closed his eyes in despair.

Despite saying this, after several days of dejection, he gradually recovered and picked up his books again.

Perhaps spurred on by challenge, this time when he took up his studies, he was more diligent and focused than before. He devoted his entire mind to preparing for the exam following the Spring Imperial Civil Service Examination.

Of course, these tidbits of news eventually reached Su Pan’er’s ears.

Su Pan’er was especially moved, "It seems that Ke’er has finally grown up."

Although she didn’t know what had motivated Su Ke’s growth, people often mature through myriad heartbreaks and deep-seated disappointments. Once crossed, they turn a new page.

Peaceful days always fly by swiftly!

As winter began, Su Pan’er seemed to adopt the habits of a hibernating cat, lazing around all day, curled up in her room, fast asleep. Yet, the lady residing in Shuiyan Park refused to let others rest in peace, stirring up trouble every two to three days, ensuring that annoyance was inescapable. Not only did Su Pan’er feel a surge of frustration, but even her attendants, such as Qingwen and Jiu Lan, were also vexed to no end.

On this day, Su Pan’er, as usual, nestled in the Warm Pavilion with a book, while two old women stood by, one on each side, helping Little Sugar Bean practice walking. All of a sudden, there came a flurry of hurried footsteps from outside.

"Empress, your servant has urgent news to report."

Here it comes!

Su Pan’er covered her forehead with her hand, exasperated. Could Liu Xuan’er not leave her in peace for just a few days? Did she truly think that she, Su Pan’er, was incapable of dealing with her?

It appeared the book was no longer of any interest!

She tossed the book carelessly onto the small table and waved her hand, "Come in."

The eunuch hurriedly entered and approached to make his report, "Your servant pays respects to the Empress."

"Speak! What is it this time?" Su Pan’er’s tone was filled with impatience.

The eunuch’s face bore a properly decorous smile, "Reporting to the Empress, ’Feng Gui Ren’ from the Autumn Fragrance Pavilion in the back garden summoned the Imperial Physician. News from the Imperial Medical Bureau indicates that ’Feng Gui Ren’ is with child."

Su Pan’er waved her hand dismissively, "If she has summoned the Imperial Physician, she should rest well... Wait, who did you just say is with child?" Before she could finish speaking, Su Pan’er abruptly stood up from her chair.

"It is ’Feng Gui Ren’ who has summoned the Imperial Physician, and the physician says that ’Feng Gui Ren’ is with child."

’Feng Gui Ren’ is with child?

Su Pan’er slowly sank back into her chair.

Some time ago, she had a conversation with ’Feng Gui Ren’, and she had thought ’Feng Gui Ren’ would take action swiftly. But after such a long wait, there had been no news of ’Feng Gui Ren’s’ pregnancy, leading her to believe ’Feng Gui Ren’ had second thoughts. Unexpectedly, at this very moment, the news of the pregnancy came.

"Understood, has His Majesty been informed?"

Her tone was unusually calm.

"Responding to the Empress, as your servant came to notify Your Highness, a messenger was already dispatched to inform His Majesty."

"That is well, you are rewarded," Su Pan’er rewarded the eunuch, and after a moment’s thought, she selected some gifts appropriate for ’Feng Gui Ren’. Not minding the cold weather, she changed into her outdoor attire and headed straight for the Autumn Fragrance Pavilion in the back garden.

The news of the Empress’s condescension to visit the Autumn Fragrance Pavilion caused the servants living there to be overjoyed with laughter.

Hs Majesty’s gifts had just arrived, and immediately afterward, the Empress herself graced the Autumn Fragrance Pavilion with her presence. This favor and honor dwarfed that which Liu Jieyu received back when she first fell pregnant!

"This humble person, ’Feng Gui Ren’, pays respects to the Empress."

Feng Xiyue seemed even thinner than before, her already delicate figure looking as if it could snap with a twist. Kneeling on the ground, weak and frail, she evoked a strong instinctual desire to protect her.

Su Pan’er approached with a smile, stepping forward quickly, "Get up quickly, the ground is cold, and you wouldn’t want to harm yourself. Don’t forget, you are carrying a dragon seed in your belly." As she spoke, she reached out to help Feng Xiyue up.

But Feng Xiyue avoided her assistance and bowed down once more, remaining on the ground for an extended time without rising.
