In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 1151: Chapter 1063: A Glimmer of Hope

Su Pan’er felt somewhat dejected.

Subconsciously, she hugged Little Yanyan tighter in her arms. The day had been filled with dangers, and Little Yanyan had already fallen asleep in her embrace.

"So, does this mean Qin Hong is very anxious about Jun Ruoxue?"

How close she and Jun Ruoxue used to be?

Time is indeed a butcher’s knife, silently changing you, changing me, changing her. Now, she probably couldn’t even remember that once truest friendship!

"You needn’t feel melancholic either. Jun Ruoxue repeatedly emphasized that she had no feelings for Qin Hong and even made a fuss about getting a divorce, which was probably her true thoughts at the time. But then so much happened, with Qin Hong pursuing her tirelessly and extending an olive branch to the Jun Family. After such a major event occurred in the Jun Family, it was both a helpless and inevitable choice to cooperate with Qin Hong for self-preservation."

Qin Yi comforted her, hesitated several times, thought it over, and still decided to say, "Besides, even if she didn’t think for herself, she had to think for the child in her womb, right?"

"Child? Whose child are you talking about?"

Su Pan’er was somewhat slow to react, "Are you saying that Jun Ruoxue is pregnant? But she initially said..."

She still remembered the expression on Jun Ruoxue’s face when she said she was still intact, and now hearing from Qin Yi that the other party was pregnant was quite hard for Su Pan’er to accept.

When she thought about it carefully, it wasn’t impossible at all.

Jun Ruoxue and Qin Hong had been married for many years. If the Jun Family wished it and Qin Hong was unwilling to let go of Jun Ruoxue, getting Jun Ruoxue pregnant wouldn’t be difficult at all.

Su Pan’er was a woman herself, so she understood.

Once a woman has a child, her entire mindset and focus shift to the child, never to return to what it was before.

"Yes, she is pregnant."

Qin Yi affirmed, causing a wave of sourness to rise in Su Pan’er’s heart, leaving her unable to express her inner thoughts for a moment.

"You don’t need to feel sad for her. Since she has chosen this path, you cannot be blamed."

Qin Yi glanced at her before deciding to reveal the rest of the information.

According to the secret guard’s investigation, the Jun Family originally planned to arrange for Jun Ruoxue to divorce Qin Hong and then send her into the palace. Later, Jun Ruoxue, wanting to secure Jun Ruochen’s return to secular life, pleaded to Qin Hong and reached an agreement with him. Qin Hong came forward, persuaded Old Mrs. Xue to intervene, and brought out the jade token to request a retrial. As for Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke Hua, it was the Jun Family who sought her out...

It was that very night Jun Ruoxue went to seek Qin Hong’s help that she became pregnant.

It’s just unknown whether Jun Ruochen knows about the sacrifices Jun Ruoxue made...

"Enough! The way things have developed until now, it’s beyond my place to say anything."

Su Pan’er had a clear understanding of her own position. With so many things happening now, it was beyond her to plead on behalf of Jun Ruochen anymore.

"In the future, if Jun Ruochen lives peacefully as a monk, then so be it. If he gets involved in these turmoil, handle it as you see fit. I do not wish to interfere. Right now, it’s best for me to focus on my Pregnancy Health and to give birth to the child peacefully."

It was only sensible for her to give birth to the child in her womb; as for the rest, she was but a drop in the ocean, unable to sway the currents’ direction.

"It’s good that you understand."

Qin Yi had spoken so much to her today, just waiting for this acknowledgment from her.

He then took the opportunity to hold Su Pan’er’s hand more firmly, his face visibly more relaxed as he let go of his concerns.

"What is there for me not to understand?"

Su Pan’er gave him a blank look and gripped his hand tightly, "As a woman, once she’s married, her fate is no longer in her own hands. Her husband and children become her everything. I don’t blame Jun Ruoxue! Both she and I did it for the men we love!"

Qin Yi suddenly clenched Su Pan’er’s hand tightly!

The strength from his grip made her fingers ache, but she let him hold on without pulling back.

"The man I love? So my dear Pan’er holds me in such high regard. I am very, very happy..."

Qin Yi’s eyes glowed bright and fervent.

Su Pan’er smiled in return, not avoiding his gaze.

Their eyes met, and both smiled blissfully.

Suddenly, a whooshing noise pierced the air. The carriage lurched forward abruptly, and a loud neighing of horses followed as the carriage came to a harsh stop, disrupting the amicably smiling pair inside.

"What’s happening?"

Qin Yi chastised as he swiftly pulled back the carriage curtain. He saw the coachman’s head drooping, slumped to one side.

"Your Majesty, the road to the palace is blocked. There are many people outside, all the carriages heading toward the palace gate have been stopped, and the coachman has been shot and killed by them."

The secret guard, who had been standing by the carriage all this time, suddenly spoke, then pushed the coachman off the carriage.

It was then that Su Pan’er noticed an arrow stuck in the coachman’s chest.

She looked up and exchanged a glance with Qin Yi and hurriedly took Little Sugar Bean into her arms from Qin Yi’s embrace. Perhaps because of the rough ride, both Little Sugar Bean and Little Yanyan had woken up and were now looking around with dazed eyes.

"Empress Mother, what’s happening? Why has the carriage stopped? Have we reached the palace?"

Little Yanyan rubbed her eyes, obviously still sleepy.

"Shh... don’t talk."

Su Pan’er quickly covered Little Yanyan’s mouth and whispered instructions, "There are outlaws outside. We’re not in the palace yet. You must grip the carriage tightly and, no matter what happens later, don’t say anything or scream. Leave everything to me and your father, understand?"

"Mhm, I understand, Empress Mother. Yanyan will take good care of her sister."

Little Yanyan was young, but she had endured a lot of hardships. Unlike other children who would cry at the first sign of trouble, she was exceptionally sensible, clinging to Su Pan’er and trying to shield Little Sugar Bean in her arms while tightly gripping the carriage’s wooden boards, touching Su Pan’er’s heart with her obedience.

This child was too sensible!

As Su Pan’er was instructing Little Yanyan, there was already a commotion outside.

A large group of people charged towards the carriage!

Not only were these assailants well-equipped and uniformed, but they also had an unstoppable momentum, clearly well-trained, which made Qin Yi’s heart sink further.

Although several secret guards were by his side, Lord Zhang and the Imperial Guard were currently besieging Qin Hong’s herd at Yue Lai Inn. Who could have imagined that these outlaws would be so bold as to ambush them right on Imperial Street, in front of the palace gates!

At this moment, even if Lord Zhang received the message and hurried over, it would be too late; distant water can’t quench nearby thirst. By the time Lord Zhang and his men could arrive, the battle here would likely already be over.

Seeing the encroaching enemies growing in number, Qin Yi made a decisive command!

"Charge! Break out a bloody path!"

If death was inevitable, it was better to cling to life and fight forward. There might still be a glimmer of hope!
