In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1161 - 1073: There Are Arrangements

Chapter 1161: Chapter 1073: There Are Arrangements

She had never been so harsh on her servants before, but today she had made an exception.

Nanny Xiao trembled all over, hesitated for a good while, before she slowly lowered her head, "Yes, this old servant... understands."

Seeing the elderly woman who had served her all the way until now plead so earnestly on her behalf, from her own standpoint and for her own good, Su Pan’er couldn’t bear to be too harsh.

"Nanny Xiao, I have my reasons for what I do. You just do as I command. Today, for talking back to me, you’re fined three months’ salary, as an example to others."

Such a punishment completely dissolved the last trace of resentment in Nanny Xiao’s heart.

What replaced it was a sense of grievance.

Yet she dared not show a hint of it and hurriedly bowed to accept the punishment.

Su Pan’er glanced at her expression and slowly walked down another path, holding her child.

"Rest well. I heard that Xiao Min has been serving Ke’er very diligently? That child is indeed of rare good nature. Wasn’t it said her child has been sick and hasn’t gotten better yet?"

Nanny Xiao forced a smile and quickly affirmed, "That child was born prematurely and was weak from the start, really sick every three days, taking more decoction than rice. I don’t know what to do for the best in the future."

"The child is still small, many medicines cannot and should not be given. Just nourish slowly."

Su Pan’er said offhandedly, "I have some suitable toys and medicinal ingredients for children; later, you can take them to her."

Nanny Xiao was overjoyed!

She immediately knelt down excitedly to thank her, "Thank you, Empress, for your generous gift! Your kindness is a blessing for my little maternal grandchild!"

First, she punished her for her mistakes and then compensated her secretly and openly.

The Empress was always so generous to their servants, truly a blessing for all the people!

Su Pan’er looked at the others, "It’s cold today, and you all have worked hard. Jiu Lan, give ten taels of silver to each of the guards for a cup of refreshment."

Jiu Lan promptly acknowledged.

The other attendants all smiled happily, understanding this was the Empress’s way to keep them quiet. They hurriedly accepted joyfully.

Without the Gourmet Room, Little Sugar Bean, who was still young and probably had wet her pants, started fussing and crying uncomfortably. Once in a wind-shielded spot, Su Pan’er could not care that it was outdoor and hurried to change Little Sugar Bean’s soiled pants.

The guards quickly turned away.

Nanny Xiao stepped forward to help, attempting to change Little Sugar Bean as quickly as possible.

However, she bit her lip, gathering the courage to speak, "Empress, this old servant knows you dislike hearing this, but I must still say it."

"Empress, you’re ultimately too soft-hearted, that Feng Xiyue is clearly no good. She’s further along in her pregnancy than you. By sparing her now in a moment of soft-heartedness, have you ever thought, if she gives birth to the eldest imperial son... what will you do? And what about the Prince in your belly?"

"Empress, His Majesty is not a common man, and you are not a common daughter-in-law. This old servant’s persistent advice is not meant to make you harbor thoughts of harm. But if you won’t think for yourself, at least consider the Prince in your womb? Could you bear it if they were born condemned to be lesser than others?"

"Empress, you..."

"That’s enough!"

Su Pan’er cut off what Nanny Xiao still wanted to say, tidied up Little Sugar Bean’s dress, wrapped her again in the cloak, and carefully held her in her arms as she stood up.

Looking at the guards who stood some distance away, she then whispered, "Nanny Xiao, what becomes of Imperial Concubine Feng in the future, I do not know. However, I can tell you one thing for certain, I will not become tainted by that karma! I still hope to accumulate blessings for the child in my womb!"

Nanny Xiao clenched her teeth, "It is indeed time to gather more blessings for the Little Prince. How about this, let this old servant..."

"Absolutely not!"

Su Pan’er scolded, then whispered quickly, "Remember! I have my own reasons for doing this regarding Feng Xiyue. You should not inquire further."

Having said that, she left briskly, striding away like a shooting star.

Nanny Xiao stood stunned for a while, furrowing her brows in thought for a long time before suddenly lighting up with a realization.

"Could it be that Your Highness is thinking..."

That’s it!

Although everyone hopes that the child in Your Highness’s womb is a Little Prince, what if it is not?

She slapped her thigh abruptly!

This must be it; Your Highness is making such preparations, which is why she doesn’t permit her to meddle in this matter.

Having understood all this, Nanny Xiao felt half relieved, yet the other half of her heart was still hanging in mid-air. Feng Xiyue, that little demon fairy, clearly wasn’t the settling type. In the future, she would have to be extra vigilant on behalf of Your Highness, to prevent her from being deceived by that girl, who might be counting money foolishly for her own loss!

Unfortunately, Su Pan’er was unaware of her thoughts, or else she might have spat out a mouthful of blood in shock!

The reason she had decided to hold back for now was indeed connected to the man entangled with Feng Xiyue.

Oh well, she would take it one step at a time!

Everything would wait until the child was born. She admitted that when it came to such life-and-death matters, she ultimately couldn’t help but be soft-hearted!

Her face touched Little Sugar Bean’s cheek, and feeling the child’s sweet, soft little face, she couldn’t help but burst into a smile.

By the time Su Pan’er returned to Xuande Gate Tower, Feng Xiyue had already come back.

Seeing her holding Little Sugar Bean and sitting down, the look on her face clearly carried shock and suspicion. Afterwards, as Su Pan’er sat down to enjoy the show, Feng Xiyue beside her seemed distracted and restless, as if she was on pins and needles.

Even Qin Yi glanced over at them twice, his expression dark and indecipherable.

Then, he ordered Eunuch An beside him with a few words. Eunuch An quickly left and soon returned, bringing with him a food container.

Qin Yi personally opened the food container and filled a bowl with soup for Su Pan’er, looking at her with tenderness, "This is a carp fish soup with mushroom and dried scallop, and I’ve added some of the old tofu that you like the most. Try it and see how the soup tastes."

When he leaned in close to her ear, Qin Yi asked in a mosquito-like voice, "Why were you gone for so long? Did something happen?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Su Pan’er accepted the bowl and took a sip herself, tasting the flavor, then scooped a spoonful to Qin Yi’s mouth, "Your Majesty, the soup is exceptionally fragrant and rich, please have a taste."

Secretly, she also used a voice transmission technique, her lips barely moving, "Nothing happened, just encountered two little cats fighting on the way. I’ll tell you more about it when we get back later."

With that sentence, Qin Yi’s eyes flickered.

He drank the soup from the spoon and then smiled, "The soup is indeed delicious. Here, Little Yanyan, you have some too."

With that, he turned around.

Su Pan’er did not say much, her eyes quickly sweeping around, noticing countless pairs of eyes, like searchlights, watching every move she and Qin Yi made.
