In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1177 - 1089: Design

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1089: Design

"The needlework is quite good. However, let those who serve by your side do these tasks."

Su Pan’er casually browsed through the toddler clothes, then suddenly put them down.

Her gaze fell on Feng Xiyue’s chest area, where the corner of a teardrop-shaped jade pendant was faintly visible, "Eh, this pendant has a rather unique design, why haven’t I seen you wearing it before?"

Those words finally caused Feng Xiyue, who had been maintaining a relaxed composure, to dramatically change color.

She quickly regained her composure, though with some nervousness, she hid the jade pendant in her bosom.

"Is Empress speaking of this jade pendant? This was a personal item left to Xiyue by my late father, which I have always kept safe, never once thinking of selling it, even during the most difficult times. So..."

Her evasive and secretive behavior only made Su Pan’er’s eyes deepen with understanding.

"Yet, why do I feel I’ve seen it somewhere before?"

The face of Feng Xiyue turned pale, and with a strained smile, she replied, "Perhaps the Empress has seen something similar elsewhere, for many wear jade pendants like this one, and similarities can naturally occur. Besides, this pendant was just a common item my father happened to buy on the street, so surely others possess quite a few."

"Maybe it is as you say."

A flash of cold light flickered in Su Pan’er’s eyes, alas, as quickly as it appeared, it vanished even faster.

She laughed carelessly, then suddenly clapped her hands, "Now I remember why this pendant looks so familiar to me, its shape is exactly the same as the one His Majesty gave to the Virtuous King back when he was still a general."

At this, Feng Xiyue could no longer stay calm, and she abruptly stood up, her face drastically changing colors!

All of Qin Feimo’s sweet words had been so pleasing to hear, claiming that this object was granted by the previous emperor, representing his own identity. Unexpectedly, this pendant was a gift from His Majesty in the past. No wonder people say that a man’s sweet nothings are the least reliable thing in the world, and yet countless women are completely captivated by them, willingly serving their purposes, giving up all that they have.

Feng Xiyue, sensing her own overreaction, forced a smile and took off the pendant from around her neck while getting up.

"Now that the Empress has mentioned it, even though this is a relic of my late father, if it closely resembles the Virtuous King’s pendant, I cannot dare to keep it any longer. Please accept it, Empress."

With a bow, she presented the jade pendant with both hands.

Su Pan’er quietly took the pendant, and examined it closely in front of her eyes.

She had heard Jiu Lan mention this jade pendant many times, and this had made her very suspicious. Now that she finally got her hands on it, she turned it over and over, and though she acknowledged the high-quality stone and its distinctive teardrop shape, she could not find anything unusual on it, which left her puzzled about Jiu Lan’s point.

She looked around and noticed only Qingwen, Chunfen, and Mangxia serving by her side, and then remembered she had sent Jiu Lan away earlier this morning.

She took her gaze back to Feng Xiyue.

Feng Xiyue seemed calm on the surface, but Su Pan’er could tell from her slightly trembling fingers that she was nervous.

Where exactly is the peculiarity of this pendant?

Still not convinced, Su Pan’er flipped the pendant back and forth, gently touching the stone itself, feeling the thick patina that clearly suggested long-term wear and frequent handling; otherwise, it could not be so mellow.

Her mind whirled with thoughts. To others, it seemed she had only paused briefly before picking up the pendant again and examining it several times. Apparently, finding nothing unusual, she indifferently placed it before Feng Xiyue.

"It’s just a piece of similar jade, not worth much. Since it is your father’s relic, you should keep it close. Just make sure you don’t lose it."

"This..."

Feng Xiyue wanted to decline, yet also worried that Su Pan’er would truly take the pendant away, so she steeled herself to express her thanks.

"Don’t worry, you keep it," Su Pan’er said, looking around, "Today I came to see if anything is lacking around here, if you are living comfortably. If there’s anything you need or lack, just tell the Managing Maid to provide it. Do not neglect yourself or the child."

"Xiyue understands, Your Highness can rest assured. With Your Highness’s kind attention, there is everything we need here, indeed there is no need to acquire anything more,"

Feng Xiyue replied with exceptional restraint.

"Then this palace is relieved. I still have matters to attend to on my end, rest well,"

Having said this, Su Pan’er stood up and walked out.

Feng Xiyue dared not neglect her duty and hastily stood up to respectfully see her off.

Stepping out of the Autumn Moon Pavilion, Su Pan’er stopped, turned back, and said, "You may stop here, take good care of yourself and the child. Have a good rest."

With a casual wave of her hand, she stepped toward the stone stairs.

"Respectfully sending off Your Highness,"

Feng Xiyue bowed in farewell.

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention just now,"

Su Pan’er suddenly turned back, her face brimming with a smile, "Back in the day, there was a hidden message on the jade pendant His Majesty gifted to the Virtuous King. I will ask His Majesty later where that secret is. It’s been such a long time, and my memory, alas, has really become worse over the years."

Su Pan’er spoke lightly, and after finishing, without another glance at Feng Xiyue, she walked down the stone steps.

In just a brief moment, countless ideas flashed through Feng Xiyue’s mind.

This jade pendant unexpectedly has a hidden message?

What should I do now!

But in the blink of an eye, a light bulb went off in her head!

She quickly followed, attempting to hold onto Su Pan’er’s arm, "Your Highness, the snow has just melted, the ground is wet, be careful of the floor. You... ah!"

In the midst of her sudden cry, she slipped and fell to the ground.

But before she could fall, Mangxia, at her side, had already grabbed her.

Su Pan’er frowned and turned around.

Coldly staring at Feng Xiyue.

Her maidservants Chunfen and Mangxia had already stepped intentionally or unintentionally in front of her as Feng Xiyue approached.

Her sudden fall, leaning forward, instinctively seeking to cling to a driftwood, trying to pull Su Pan’er down with her, failed because the maidservants by her side were capable, preventing Feng Xiyue from even getting close.

Feng Xiyue trembled all over, and under Su Pan’er’s gaze, she fell to her knees with a thunk, quickly kowtowing, "Xiyue deserves to die! Xiyue is at fault, I can’t even walk properly, and almost implicated Your Highness. Xiyue has committed a grave error, please punish me, Your Highness, please punish me!"

Su Pan’er’s gaze followed her kowtowing motion.

Gradually moving downward, landing on the shattered piece of jade on the floor.

Just as Feng Xiyue almost fell a moment ago, the jade pendant she was holding flew out of her hand, smashing into countless pieces on the ground, with no possibility to discern its original form.

This Feng Xiyue, truly vicious!

Cruel to others, and even more cruel to herself!
