In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1158 - 1070: So You’re Sure About Me?

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1070: So You’re Sure About Me?

Qin Yi’s hand, originally reaching out to serve Su Pan’er some food, paused. Then, he turned his hand and brought the food to his own mouth. He chewed slowly and methodically before swallowing and finally putting down his bamboo chopsticks.

"Don’t worry, Jiu Lan has already returned to the palace."

However, he did not mention where Jiu Lan had gone.

Su Pan’er felt annoyed in her heart—such a petty man indeed! She had only left the palace without permission once, and he dared to treat her personal maid like this?

She had given him an inch, and he actually took a mile!

It seemed that men were truly like children—they must not be indulged. Once indulged, they start to make mistakes!

With this thought, the smile on Su Pan’er’s face slowly faded away.

She gradually widened the distance between them, sitting upright with seriousness, all business: "I’m asking you, where are Qingwen and Nanny Xiao? And where have the two children gone?"

Perhaps her attitude made her intention clear, for Qin Yi moved backward and leaned against the back of the chair.

"Qingwen and her lot failed in their duties, so I have punished them. As for the two children, I was worried that no one would look after them in the Warm Pavilion, so I had them each return to their own sleeping chambers to rest."

Su Pan’er was furious and slapped her hand on the edge of the table.

"What do you mean by this?"

Qin Yi’s gaze fell on the edge of the table before looking back at her: "I mean exactly what I said. ’The prince commits the same offense as the commoner.’ You have erred, and you are also pregnant. I dare not punish you, but those servants who couldn’t even take care of people deserve to be punished!"

"You... "

Su Pan’er suddenly stood up: "They say to spare the rod out of respect for the master. By laying your hands on my attendants, you are slapping me in the face. Since it’s come to this, I have nothing more to say!"

After speaking, she stomped inside, flinging aside the beaded curtain as she entered the inner room and sulked at the head of the bed.

This despicable man, without asking for reasons, had actually treated her like this!

"Although I do not know what you left the palace to do, given that you left at such a critical time, it surely wasn’t anything good. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have kept it from me until now."

Qin Yi’s words pierced through the beaded curtain from outside: "However, whatever you did outside the palace, I won’t ask you about it. But, you were lucky to return safely this time. What about next time? Moreover, knowing full well the danger of your journey, you still deliberately put yourself at risk. What could possibly be more important than your own life? More important than the child in your womb? Think about it!"

"Child, child, child! Your mind is full of nothing but the child!"

That one word throbbed in Su Pan’er’s head, stirring her anger as she lashed out at him: "All you talk about is the child, as if I don’t care about it. As for why I left the palace, no matter what I did, you wouldn’t care, would you? So, why should I even tell you?"

Her words sent Qin Yi’s veins bulging on his forehead in anger!

"You damned woman!"

He yanked the curtain down with a fierce tug and stormed into the room. Appearing before her like a gust of wind, he leaned in close and pressed: "Are you completely without a sense of realization? Do you understand that no matter how grave a mistake you make, I could never bring myself to punish you? Have you decided to take advantage of my reluctance?"

After a flurry of rhetorical questions, Qin Yi felt a sense of powerlessness surging within him first.

This infuriating little woman, what was he to do with her?

Qin Yi suddenly rushed forward, and the distance between their eyes was less than a foot, startling Su Pan’er immensely.

Then, she slowly relaxed and revealed an exceptionally innocent and playful expression.

"I didn’t do anything..."

"You’re still saying you didn’t!"

Qin Yi seemed to have gone mad. As soon as his words fell, he growled low in his throat, suddenly leaned in, and fiercely kissed her small mouth, greedily sucking on her lips.

Su Pan’er gave in passively, forced to respond to his advances and let him toy with her.

By the time he let her go, her cheeks were tinged with a blush of rouge.

Seeing her reaction, Qin Yi appeared very pleased, yet somewhat helplessly embraced her waist, and said fiercely, "This time, I won’t pursue the matter further. Your maids, I will have them return later. I was worried that something unexpected might happen again, so I had them atone for their offenses by taking care of Little Yanyan and Little Sugar Bean. After all, tomorrow is Little Yanyan’s birthday, and I feared for their safety."

So that was it...

Su Pan’er’s mood brightened at once, realizing she had wrongly blamed him. Facing Qin Yi’s gaze that seemed to say ’what will you do now,’ she awkwardly averted her eyes.

She cleared her throat and changed the subject, "Yes! Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and the day after is Little Yanyan’s birthday. The day after next is Little Sugar Bean’s Grabbing Week ceremony. Thinking about it, time flies so fast, our Little Sugar Bean is already a year old."

Qin Yi hummed a response and took the opportunity to tweak her nose playfully.

"Time indeed flies. In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up. Fortunately, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. After the festival, a curfew will be enforced again in the Capital City, and we no longer need to be so tense. Actually, I had intended to enforce the curfew tonight, but the courtiers persuaded me otherwise. I thought, since there’s just one more night, those traitorous officials are likely to take action within these few days if they plan to act at all."

This was an opportune moment that came once in a thousand years. If those people were to take action, they would definitely choose one of these days.

And he, how could he not think the same way?

The praying mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and behind them, there’s a hunter with a bow and arrows.

As for who is the mantis, who is the oriole, and who is the hunter with the bow and arrows, that would be a matter of skill!

But no matter what the outcome, he was determined to protect his wife and children.

He would not let anyone harm them!

The next day was the Lantern Festival, a day for eating sweet dumplings known as yuanxiao, playing with festive lanterns, and visiting temple fairs. The tradition was popular in Shengjing, and the day was extremely lively, far surpassing the festivities of New Year’s Day.

The streets were crowded shoulder to shoulder, bustling with people streaming in and out and bustling with extraordinary excitement.

Friends called out to one another, and the young men and women were particularly radiant. Whether they were truly there to see the festive lanterns or something else, only they knew for sure.

But because of the crowd, the many soldiers and officers dared not be careless, their eyes wide open watching every movement in the crowd, fearing they might miss any abnormality.

Unknown to outsiders, but well-known among them, was that Lord Zhang was penalized by His Majesty for his poor management of security in Shengjing. Not only was he fined a year’s salary, but he was also ordered to reflect at home, forbidden from leaving his residence for a month.

A few of the deputy commanding officers were also affected to some degree, making the entire Imperial Guard anxious, fearing they too would face misfortune. Thinking about it, each of them had family to support above and below, relying on their jobs to make a living. How could they afford to make mistakes again and again?
