In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1148 - 1060: Watching the Play

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1060: Watching the Play

Once she recognized their identities, the identities of Qin Yi and Little Yanyan beside her would naturally not be difficult to guess.

Although Qin Yi had not spoken the entire time, they would certainly adhere to the principle of "better to kill the wrong person than to let one go," not only preventing them from returning to the palace but also laying an inescapable net, waiting for them to walk right into their trap.

"Even if she recognized us, it’s not a problem,"

Qin Yi’s voice was exceptionally light, his words fluttering yet precisely reaching Su Pan’er’s ears.

He then laughed, "She has laid her inescapable net, but I too have prepared a trap waiting for her subordinates to fall into. Now, it’s just a matter of seeing who outsmarts the other!"

"She must want to take our lives. Or else, we could just make it simple and end it once and for all..."

Su Pan’er was smiling, but her eyes reflected the flames: "How about that? Is my idea feasible? Don’t stay silent; with the current situation, it’s better for us to take precautions sooner rather than later!"

However, Qin Yi suddenly chuckled softly, "Feasible! How could it not be feasible? But, this task has already been assigned to someone; let’s just wait here for the good news."

It has already been taken care of by someone?

Su Pan’er felt embarrassed by this revelation, but luckily she was thick-skinned, and despite a brief moment of embarrassment, she quickly regained her composure.

Similar events were also unfolding on several other streets.

The secret guards disguising as Qin Yi’s party were specially trained sacrifice soldiers, skilled and loyal. Both parties suffered casualties but tacitly avoided making too much noise, trying not to stir up too much of a commotion.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er continued to walk behind Little Yanyan, looking around as they went. But their gaze seldom lingered on the festive lanterns. By the time they had wandered down the flower market street to the next intersection, Little Yanyan refused to go any further.

"I’m hungry, I don’t want to walk anymore!"

Her initial excitement kept her from feeling tired earlier, but now that it had faded, and they hadn’t eaten since morning, her rebellious stomach was complaining, making her feel both tired and hungry. Why would she want to continue walking?

Just as the climax of the show was approaching, Su Pan’er was reluctant to leave to get food. She looked around and saw a small shop up ahead, then said with delight, "Look over there! Candied chestnuts, roast sweet potatoes, and popcorn. Let’s go buy some to eat."

"I want to eat a meal, not some roast sweet potatoes,"

Little Yanyan started to throw a tantrum as she refused to walk. Beside her, Little Sugar Bean was also tugging at Su Pan’er’s hair and began to cry for "food."

"Let’s go upstairs,"

Qin Yi suddenly spoke up and pointed to an inn nearby: "Don’t rush, the show is about to begin soon."

The show is about to begin?

Su Pan’er narrowed her eyes, thinking of the frequent secret reports that had come earlier, and guessed that those people must have clashed with the opposition’s forces as well.

Qin Yi, leading Little Yanyan with Su Pan’er in tow, paced into the inn.

This inn, called "House of One," was bustling with good business. At the entrance, a huge lantern as tall as a four-story building was placed, and the fiery red candlelight shone through it, enveloping the whole inn in a sea of red.

A large crowd of talented men and beautiful women gathered at the doorstep, enthusiastically discussing the answers to lantern riddles. Occasionally, someone who guessed the right answer would shout excitedly, and those nearby would also be swept up in the excitement, rushing back to the lantern riddles, eager to guess once more.

It was in such an atmosphere that Qin Yi crossed through the crowd, and went straight into the inn.

In contrast to the liveliness outside the inn, inside it seemed like another world, gloomy and dim, where people’s faces were indistinguishable.

"Hey, boy, time to eat!"

Qin Yi lightly tapped on the counter, waking up the dozing server, "First, bring us a table of good food. Just send over your signature dishes, one of each. And bring two eggs as well."

"Of course! Rest assured, dear customers, I’ve got it all memorized."

The server, holding a lantern, leaned in to look over their party, his eyes cooling and brows furrowing slightly, but he said nothing more. Then, lifting his lantern, he led them to the Ren character room on the third floor.

"The manager is occupied outside with the lantern riddles right now, I’m afraid he can’t arrange things personally for you. If you need anything, just tell me."

"We don’t need anything else. Just bring up the dishes we ordered downstairs."

"Right, please wait a moment, dear guests!"

Having said that, the server turned and left the house.

Ever since entering the house, Qin Yi hadn’t sat down. Instead, he stood by the window, as though he was listening for something.

Su Pan’er, holding Little Yanyan, walked over to the windowsill and sneakily surveyed the crowd for a few unusual pairs of eyes.

Soon, the server brought up the food and drinks.

Neither adult had the appetite to eat, but the two children started to move on their own. Little Sugar Bean was too young to eat big pieces of meat, so in the end, Su Pan’er had to tear the meat into shreds with her hands and put it in his bowl to eat with rice.

After a while, Qin Yi left the window and called Su Pan’er to eat, "Stop looking, come and eat. After you’ve had your fill, your husband will treat you to a puppet show."

Su Pan’er gave him a surprised glance and then agreed. She began to fill her own stomach while feeding Little Sugar Bean with a small bowl. However, Little Sugar Bean was clearly extremely hungry and ate slower than usual. After she fed her child and put down her chopsticks, Qin Yi also laid down his chopsticks.

"Are you full? If you are, follow me; I’ll take you to watch a good show."

Qin Yi, holding Little Sugar Bean and leading Little Yanyan, quickly left the private room. He didn’t head downstairs but instead went up to the fourth floor, stopping at a corner of the walkway.

"There’s a good show to see here?"

Su Pan’er looked left and right but couldn’t spot anything amiss.

"To watch a show, of course, we have to go inside a room. Let’s go!"

Qin Yi, saying this, casually pushed open the door near the edge and stepped inside.

Unlike the lively Inn outside, it was so quiet in this room that it felt like another world, eerie and dim, hard to see what lay inside.

Su Pan’er also stepped in and looked around, her eyes falling on the chairs in the house, only then did she show a look of surprise.

"What are they doing here?"

Su Pan’er really got a shock when she saw two people slumped in the chairs. Both of them were bound with thick hemp ropes, their hands and feet tied, and their mouths gagged with cloth, leaving them only capable of crying out woo woo. Seeing Su Pan’er and Qin Yi enter, they struggled even more intensely.

If not Jun Ruoxue and Princess Anping, then who?

Clearly, Jun Ruoxue and Princess Anping hadn’t anticipated their arrival either, their eyes wide with surprise. They never expected that, thinking themselves to be the mantises stalking the cicada, they would end up in the beak of an oriole.
