In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife! -

Chapter 1327: Chapter 1235: The Reason
"Where is Miss Hanmei now?"
Su Pan’er spoke up, hitting right on the mark.
Lei Yu awkwardly lowered her head, "She, that Miss Hanmei, left with Brother Su."
"Left? Where did they go together?"
"The day before they left, the two were seen inside the Silver Tower in the county city. I happened to encounter them and overheard Brother Su saying something."
"What did he say?"
"At that time, it seemed that the County Magistrate of Changze County and the deputy county magistrate were also present."
Lei Yu sank into her memories.
That day, feeling vexed, she took her plump maidservant Ling Ling out shopping.
From the start, Lei Yu had rejected the idea of marrying Su Ke!
But her refusal had gradually softened as Su Ke gained favor with His Majesty.
Originally, she had sneaked out to her uncle and aunt’s residence, only to bump into Su Ke on the way. Initially, she had put on airs in front of him. However, as she interacted more with Su Ke, her impression of him slowly improved.
Especially after they were trapped together on the same boat during a great flood, their feelings for each other grew amidst the bickering and quarreling.
After the flood subsided and they disembarked to continue their journey by carriage, Lei Yu was shocked to discover that a woman had joined Su Ke’s company—an easy woman at that...
A surge of anger rose suddenly within her at the thought, and her face grew even more ashen.
"Miss, didn’t you say we were coming out to have fun? Why do you still look so glum? Wow! Miss, look, there are so many snacks..."
The chubby Ling Ling came to a halt at the sight of street food.
"Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you ever think about, you’ll eat yourself to death!"
Lei Yu was extremely frustrated!
She had used visiting her aunt and uncle as an excuse to leave the capital, which had not been easy. All for Su Ke. She had gone so far as to set aside her pride, calling him ’Brother Su’ this and ’Brother Su’ that, harboring the thought ’the nearer to the water, the first to get the moon’. But someone else had beaten her to it!
Thinking of how the other woman stood beside Su Ke with the air of a mistress, looking at her, Lei Yu grew angry.
It would have been one thing if this person had been a Home Beauty, but she was a courtesan! How could she swallow this indignity?
This was unbearable!
However, as angry as she was, there was no one around her to confide in, so she kept her annoyance bottled up inside.
Her chubby maidservant, on the other hand, didn’t seem to think there was any issue at all.
She was busy eating meat skewers with grease all over her mouth: "Miss, just ignore that singer. No matter how talented or enticing she is, she won’t marry Lord Su as his wife. Given her history at Wentao Pavilion, neither His Majesty nor the Empress will agree to it. Since she can’t be the official wife, at best she could only be a concubine. The position of the family head’s main wife is still reserved for you, isn’t it?"
Lei Yu immediately scowled and scolded, "Shut up! If you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute!"
Watching Ling Ling shrink back, Lei Yu’s mood somewhat improved.
It had to be said, that damn girl truly understood what was on her mind.
No matter how capable that Miss Hanmei was, she couldn’t become the main wife. As long as she won over Brother Su, with the scholarly family tradition she hailed from, and her father being Brother Su’s mentor, no one was a better match for the saying "well-matched in social and economic status."
With this thought, a smile crept onto her face.
But when she raised her head, she saw a familiar figure standing at the window ledge on the second floor of the Silver Tower.
Perhaps because Su Ke had been staring for a while, Ling Ling was still waiting to be scolded, but when there was no follow-up, she realized her young lady was daydreaming.
Following her gaze, Ling Ling immediately saw Su Ke’s silhouette and joyfully called out, "Young lady, it’s Lord Su, he is up there. Young lady, shall we go up for a look?"
Of course, they should go up and take a look!
An unplanned encounter is better than a formal invitation.
Lei Yu saw that she had come out for a breath of fresh air and unexpectedly encountered Su Ke, it truly was as if they were telepathically linked! She immediately ascended to the Silver Tower.
No sooner had she turned the corner at the top of the second-floor staircase than she heard Su Ke’s voice.
"So, has the Ning Family really decided to go through with it?"
Su Ke’s voice carried a hint of anger, causing Lei Yu to pause in her steps, subconsciously stopping.
The person opposite was carefully negating, seemingly saying something else, but Lei Yu’s attention was all on Su Ke, barely hearing half of the sentence.
"...what about having Lord Su speak directly with the people from the Ning Family?"
"Speak? What’s there to talk about. Humph! The Ning Family’s reach is extending too far, they even dare to ignore the commands of this Imperial Envoy. Issue my orders, I will give them three more days; if the Ning Family still can’t decide, I will report to His Majesty and let His Majesty and the Empress make the decision!"
Su Ke appeared very angry.
But this left Lei Yu stunned!
He was completely different from his usual scholarly demeanor, instead exuding a masculine charm that was uniquely his!
Initially, she was not in favor of her marriage to Su Ke, but through their interactions over these days, her opinion of him had completely changed. Particularly now, the commanding presence Su Ke was exhibiting, was precisely what she had always adored, the very demeanor that moved her heart...
She couldn’t help but glisten with admiration in her eyes, also wearing a smile on her face, just about to speak when suddenly, another figure flashed before her eyes—next to Su Ke, an additional presence appeared.
It was her!
The harlot available to all!
Lei Yu’s face instantly turned from sunny to overcast, glaring ragefully at them with resentful eyes, as if the thing she cherished most had been taken away, her inner fury growing ever more intense.
"Yes, this humble one will relay the message to the Ning Family exactly as spoken, surely they will make a quick decision."
"Hmm, I hope so!"
Su Ke nodded in satisfaction, suddenly turning back to instruct his attendant, "Go ask the shopkeeper how much longer I need to wait here. Is the item I await completed yet?"
"Yes, my lord."
The attendant acknowledged the order and descended the stairs, turning only to come face to face with Lei Yu and her servant at the staircase entrance, halting immediately.
Having been discovered, Lei Yu did not hide; she boldly stepped forward and climbed up to Su Ke.
"Brother Su, so you are also here, what a coincidence!"
Su Ke turned to look, his brows immediately furrowing, "Why are you here? Don’t tell me, you’ve been following me?"
The woman beside him, Miss Hanmei, also turned around, her eyes carrying a smile that was not quite a smile, and imperceptibly leaned closer to Su Ke.
Such a gesture, how could it not ignite the rage in Lei Yu’s heart!
She immediately retorted, "Does Brother Su have any proof saying such things? I was merely passing by and upon seeing Brother Su here, I came up especially to see him."
