Chapter 1316: Chapter 1224: Night Exploration of the Old Mansion
Zhang Dage walked in and saw his wife searching for the bedding, he hurriedly came over to lend a hand.
"Xing’er, are you blaming me?"
Xing’er was the maiden name of Zhang’s wife.
"Blame you? Why would I blame you?"
Zhang’s wife busied herself tidying the house, not even turning her head as she spoke.
Zhang Dage sneaked glances at his continuously busy wife, striving to explain, "Actually, bringing her home, I too was desperate. Currently, my young sister is getting older by the day, and a few years ago she was delayed by someone, and now there’s still no one coming forward to propose marriage. Aren’t you worried about me? Right now, Ruan Qi’s circumstances are very similar to my own back then, so I thought of bringing the person home. If it turns out well... wouldn’t that also be a good thing?"
In the past, Zhang Dage also suddenly encountered a mishap in the family, and he and Mother Zhang took his still young sister to seek refuge with relatives, but to no avail. Just when he was at a dead end, it was his father-in-law who extended a helping hand to him. That’s how he got to where he was today.
Now, as soon as he heard Su Pan’er speak of her past, he, who was currently worried about his young sister, immediately took it to heart!
That was also the key reason he spared no effort to help Su Pan’er.
Zhang’s wife’s eyes brightened!
Back then, his sister originally had a marriage arranged by her parents in her early years, which then delayed her.
Once their lives had settled down and his sister grew older, they then entrusted someone to go back to their hometown to inquire. It was then that they learned that the family with whom the marriage had been arranged thought they had already died, and had arranged another marriage. An infuriated Zhang Dage had an intense argument with them and tore up the marriage document on the spot, falling ill for days upon returning, and only gradually recovering afterwards.
His sister’s docile nature over the years and her troubled fate worried her.
Now, hearing her husband say this, she immediately perked up.
She said joyfully, "It seems that it was indeed that early betrothal that harmed her. Otherwise, why would her marriage matters have become so difficult? Just now, I took a look, that person seems quite well-suited in appearance and age, just not sure if his family is eligible for marriage. We must make sure not to encounter any more major problems."
"Don’t worry! We have to eat one mouthful at a time, just as tasks must be done step by step. Take it slow!"
Zhang Dage said meaningfully, also causing any remaining concern on Zhang’s wife’s face to completely dissipate, and she actively began planning for Su Pan’er’s temporary residence.
Currently, there were five rooms in the house, she thought about it, and tidied up a bit, having her mother-in-law move to her sister’s room, and giving her mother-in-law’s room to Su Pan’er for temporary lodging.
Zhang’s wife was very attentive, even redecorating it a bit with her sister.
Small household didn’t have much, they could only try to arrange things as neatly as possible.
Unfortunately, Su Pan’er had matters on her mind and completely failed to notice their intentions, having washed up briefly, she simply slept in her clothes.
Leaving Zhang’s wife, who was eagerly awaiting good news, somewhat disappointed.
"Don’t rush, he just found a place to stay, how could he notice these? Let’s give him a few days to adjust, let’s wait a bit more."
Zhang Dage empathized and didn’t think it was an issue.
Recalling Zhang Dage’s situation back then, Zhang’s wife settled her heart slightly, inevitably cheered herself up secretly, and patiently waited.
With Zhang Family acting as a temporary shelter, Su Pan’er’s days passed in an orderly manner. She got up before dawn every day to go to the dock for loading and unloading, returning in the evening. 있 She made two round trips every day, naturally passing by the outside of Qin Mansion’s wall.
Su Pan’er had a feeling she couldn’t explain whenever she saw her house so close yet had to painfully miss it due to the presence of people around her.
However, Su Pan’er actively collected useful information and speculated about the Qin Family’s situation.
The next evening, she quietly waited until the Zhang Family was asleep before she carefully got up and, using the night as cover, entered her own house.
As she entered the first barrier wall, Su Pan’er deliberately hid her tracks to avoid being noticed. Fortunately, there were many more buildings around, but she was ultimately familiar with the local geography and successfully climbed over the high wall into the yard. Afterward, she no longer cared to check the workshop, which had already changed its appearance and headed straight for her own house.
The house she had built with her own hands finally appeared before her, and she couldn’t help but feel excited!
The house was still that house!
After three years, it appeared before her again.
Su Pan’er couldn’t help but stop, staring at the large gate on the tall courtyard wall. Using the faint moonlight, she could clearly see the two characters "Qin Mansion" hanging on the plaque, and a vague heaviness settled in her heart. Step by step, she slowly approached and gently reached out to push the tightly closed door.
But then she remembered something and tried to retract her hand; unexpectedly, the door opened with a light touch.
Su Pan’er paused, then stepped inside.
What appeared before her were several trees in the courtyard that had obviously grown much taller, and numerous flowers blooming in the flowerbeds. Especially the lotus pond in the courtyard, where the lotus leaves clearly showed signs of withering, allowing Su Pan’er to clearly feel that the place must still be carefully tended to by someone.
She couldn’t help but slowly walk forward a few steps, looking at the house that still maintained its old appearance, with thousands of emotions flooding her heart.
"Miss, is it you... have you come back?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice of surprise called out from behind.
Su Pan’er’s figure paused, yet she didn’t turn around.
Xiren was trembling all over; the figure before her was so familiar that, even though the other party hadn’t spoken or turned around, she instinctively felt she could not be mistaken.
Su Pan’er didn’t turn around but instead softly whispered, "Xiren."
"It is your servant, it is your servant Xiren. Miss, how have you come back? Miss, your servant has missed you so much!"
Xiren cried breathlessly.
Su Pan’er had no choice but to turn around and face her with her current appearance: "Xiren, how did you recognize me?"
Looking at the Su Pan’er in front of her, all in all-black clothes and a mask towel over her face, Xiren cried and laughed, "Miss will always be Miss. Your servant served you for so long, even if Miss changes her appearance, your servant will not mistake you. Miss, come, the outside is chilly, please follow your servant inside. It’s warm in the house."
Suddenly remembering this, Xiren enthusiastically led Su Pan’er inside.
Su Pan’er initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the hopeful look in Xiren’s eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to utter a word of refusal. In the end, she followed Xiren into the house, though she did not remove the mask towel from her face.
Xiren was busy pouring tea and fetching snacks.
With a face full of guilt, she said, "Miss, you start eating and drinking to fill your stomach, your servant will go cook for Miss right away. It will be ready in a moment." As she said this, she turned to leave the house but was stopped by Su Pan’er pulling at her.
"Xiren, stop busy with those things for now. I’ve come here today because there’s something very important I want to ask you."
After thinking for a moment, she added another sentence, "About Ke’er."
