In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1291 - 1202: Calculations

Chapter 1291: Chapter 1202: Calculations

"I dealt with Su Xian’er and indeed vented my own frustration. But what about Big Brother Lui?" Su Pan’er asked and answered herself, "He will be lonely for life. I don’t care what happens to Su Xian’er, but I can’t disregard Big Brother Lui’s feelings, Grandfather’s feelings. And there’s dad and mom... do you believe that as soon as I deal with Su Xian’er, my mother will immediately come crying to me?"

Mrs. Su-Hua had the round face of a country farmer’s wife, appearing extraordinarily kind and amiable. But she was prone to tears; Qin Yi still remembered the "flooded Jinshan" scene when he and Pan’er paid a visit after their wedding.

Even now, he dreaded seeing his mother-in-law shed tears now and then.

"Let’s talk about you now!"

Su Pan’er turned to look at Qin Yi, "If you want to be a wise ruler, you must adopt the attitude of one! If rumors spread that you don’t even spare your little aunt who made a minor mistake, that sagacity might never be associated with you."

Qin Yi couldn’t help but laugh heartily at her words, boldly declaring, "My sagacity certainly doesn’t need Su Xian’er’s endorsement!"

"Indeed, it doesn’t."

She winked at him with an innocent face, "But in this world, where can you find perfection? Beyond legal principles, there is human sentiment. I wouldn’t move against her even for the sake of our grandfather, unless..."

Unless, the moment she made a mistake, she would snuff her out! Unless there came a day when their grandfather was gone...

Qin Yi didn’t speak, just turned his head to look out of the widely open window. A streak of orange figure flashed by outside the window and quickly ran far along the Famous Pavilion.

"You knew she was outside? So you deliberately said it for her to hear."

Watching Little Yanyan’s retreating figure, Qin Yi used an affirmative statement.

Su Pan’er glanced sideways at him but did not speak.

Little Yanyan was growing up and becoming more and more sensible. She had not intended to let her know that many things in the world are beyond one’s control, but since she approached her father the Emperor, it seemed the time had indeed come to educate her.

It wasn’t until this moment that she realized her Little Yanyan was already nine years old and would soon grow up.

The passage of time was so slow, quietly unnoticed in its existence.

Yet the passage of time was also fast, so fast that in the blink of an eye, the infant of the past transformed into a young girl, and she herself, who was once in the prime of youth, had become the Empress Mother to four children!

The passage of time was truly cruel!

It inevitably aged people, too.

When Qin Yi left the house with his men to search, Su Pan’er’s hand applying the medicated cream finally slowed down, and she turned back to look through the wide-open window. There, a child had once leaned, looking up at her with an admiring look.

She turned around and buried her head again in applying the cream to her child.

The young child seemed very uncomfortable, attempting several times to scratch his body, but his small hands were tied with cotton gloves made by Su Pan’er, which made it impossible to scratch.

After Su Pan’er finished applying the cream, he seemed much more comfortable, lying at the head of the bed, opening his toothless little mouth and smiling up at her.

"Empress Mother’s little Ah Mann, you must grow up quickly and safely. When you’re grown, protect your three sisters well; you are their support. Understand?"

She gently tapped his chubby, fair, and fragrantly sweet little cheek with her hand.

"You have to remember, you mustn’t bully your three sisters; they all care about you. Your eldest sister visits you every day, and your second sister even brings you tasty cookies to eat. You mustn’t forget."

She teased until his little hands flailed aimlessly in the air.

"You, always causing Empress Mother such trouble! I gave you the nickname Ah Mann, hoping you would grow up quickly; do you understand?"

Su Pan’er hugged him and showered him with kisses.

The young child couldn’t understand what she was saying and simply smiled naively.

"Little Ah Mann, Empress Mother’s little darling, come, let Empress Mother apply some more medicated cream on you..."

It was the child’s innocence that made Su Pan’er resolute in her heart! She would not spare anyone who dared to harm her child! To her, family was her dragon’s sore spot.

And upon the dragon’s sore spot, touch means certain death!

She would make them pay a heavy price!

Because Ah Mann’s skin was covered in red rashes, Su Pan’er would carefully clean the substances from the surface of his skin every two hours before applying another layer of medicated cream.

After several consecutive days of applying the cream, Ah Mann’s rash gradually faded, and he began to regain his original healthy skin color.

Meanwhile, Qin Yi had found the source of the child’s allergy.

Standing in front of the Purple Bamboo Forest, Qin Yi pointed to several clumps of purple bamboo: "Based on the Imperial Physician’s examination, the fine hair on these clumps of purple bamboo is the source of the child’s skin allergies. So, His Majesty plans to have someone remove these clumps of purple bamboo. We will plant Dragon Blood Trees and ivy in their place, and surround the area with a ring of Mosquito Repellent Grass to prevent Ah Mann from suffering from allergies."

Su Pan’er stared at the clump of purple bamboo; it was true that the young shoots of purple bamboo would be covered with a thin layer of fine hair, which indeed could cause allergic reactions. But now it was early August, where would the young bamboo shoots emerge from the ground?

Besides, the Crown Prince spent all his time in the house, and even when he was occasionally carried out to bask in the morning sun, it was only for a few minutes before being taken back inside. It didn’t seem to relate to these clumps of purple bamboo at all.

She thought to herself but showed no sign on her face; instead, she asked in a light-hearted tone.

"Which Imperial Physician discovered the problem with this clump of purple bamboo? Really rare and admirable!"

An Imperial Physician stepped forward from the crowd, excitedly expressing his gratitude: "This humble servant, Huang Zongzheng, thanks Empress for the generous commendation!"

"No trouble at all."

Su Pan’er glanced at him, committing his face to memory.

Seeing this, Qin Yi turned to discuss the relocation of the purple bamboo with the several craftsmen behind him.

However, Su Pan’er stopped him: "Your Majesty, as the elders say, after moving into a house, it is not advisable to change the layout, especially with a young child, it is even less appropriate to move around at will."

"But if we don’t move it, won’t Ah Mann continue to suffer?"

Qin Yi was clearly troubled.

"We can’t move the Purple Bamboo, but we can move to another place to live."

Su Pan’er stretched her hand to point at a pavilion on the other side: "Isn’t there space over there? If we move the child there, it’ll also save us the trouble of going back and forth."

Qin Yi looked around at the terrain, considering the possibilities: "Hmm, that could work..."

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

Imperial Physician Huang Zongzheng stepped forward, immediately objecting: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, ’Near the mountains and by the river,’ which follows the contours of mountains and rivers, in the study of Feng Shui..."

This Imperial Physician went on and on about Feng Shui, weaving various words and phrases together.

In the end, the message was the same: he thought moving there was not a good idea and insisted on removing the purple bamboo.

Su Pan’er smiled: "So according to your perspective, Imperial Physician, how should this garden be arranged?"
