In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1407 - 43 Anne’s Purpose

Chapter 1407: Chapter 43 Anne’s Purpose

Lui Muyi couldn’t help but think of his own An’er.

This child whose fatherly responsibilities he had not fully upheld, yet as his own flesh and blood, even without his favor, he would do everything within his capacity to smooth the path for him.

"Big Brother Lui, that foreign woman named Annie, is she currently residing at your estate?"

Su Pan’er called out several times before she managed to recapture Lui Muyi’s attention.

Only then did Lui Muyi realize that while he had been lost in thought, His Majesty had already left, walking to the outside of the pavilion in the Imperial Garden with King Ye and whispering about something.

He composed himself hurriedly, and smiled: "Indeed, Annie came to Great Zhou, unfamiliar with the land and with nowhere to go. Having heard me speak of various amusing tales, she insisted on accompanying me in seeking out scenic spots. This morning when I left my estate for the morning court session, she even followed me out."

Speaking of Annie, a smile spread across Lui Muyi’s face.

Perhaps Lui Muyi himself did not realize, but Su Pan’er was keenly aware that Big Brother Lui held a different regard for this Annie.

She also noticed that Big Brother Lui’s way of addressing her had changed.

In the past, no matter when, Big Brother Lui always insisted on calling her Pan’er. But now...

"Listening to you, this Empress is very curious about this Annie. Alas, confined to the deep palace, it’s truly a pity that I cannot meet her."

"The Empress wishes to see Annie? That would be easy."

Lui Muyi immediately smiled: "When I attend the morning court session tomorrow, I will bring Annie to meet the Empress."

"Good, it’s settled then!"

Su Pan’er clapped her hands decisively.

She indeed must see what’s so special about this Caucasian named Annie,

Unexpectedly capturing the heart of Big Brother Lui, the wayward son.

Although unclear about Annie’s dietary preferences, Su Pan’er still ordered the preparation of a set of French cuisine she remembered, particularly beef, beefsteak, and accompanying dishes, striving to fit the dining habits of Caucasians. Especially grape wine plus luminous cup, carefully selected by Su Pan’er herself.

When Annie appeared before Su Pan’er, she was still astonishingly dazzled.

In her previous life, she had seen many people of different ethnicities, numerous so-called great beauties. But the beauty of Annie was such that even Su Pan’er could find no fault with it.

A high nose bridge, emerald green eyes, porcelain-white skin, and when she smiled, two deep dimples formed at the corners of her mouth.

Seeing her, she was not at all reserved, but rather boldly observed her.

Admiration arose in her eyes, and she praised her straightforwardly: "You are Her Majesty the Empress? You are truly... handsome... no, that’s not right, it should be... pretty, beautiful... No, these words cannot even describe one ten-thousandth of your beauty. You’re far too pretty..."

Her speech came with a distinctive curl of the tongue, and once she spoke, it sounded very much like Wu-style soft language. Even though Su Pan’er was a woman, her body felt half melted first.

"You are beautiful too!"

Her unexpected flattery amused Su Pan’er.

She did not skimp on the compliments, standing up and walking to Annie’s side: "Your name is Annie, right? You’re very beautiful too!"

"Yes, my name is Annie, and you can call me by my name directly. You are Su Pan’er, right? From now on, I’ll call you Pan’er." Annie smiled generously without the slightest awareness that her casual remark immediately changed the expressions of the surrounding Court Ladies and Internal Attendants.

An elite guard serving the Empress immediately stepped forward: "How daring, foreigner! You have the nerve to directly address Her Majesty the Empress by name. Guards..."

"Ignorance is not a sin. You may leave."

Su Pan’er dismissed the elite guard, paused for a moment, then turned back to Annie. "Looking at you, are you a child of mixed parentage?"

Her words immediately brightened Annie’s eyes!

She suddenly grasped Su Pan’er’s hand: "Pan’er, you really are as Muyi said, smart, a doctor, and beautiful. You even figured out that I’m of mixed parentage. You are amazing!"

The reason Annie was able to meet Lui Muyi and later freely communicate was because her grandfather had once traveled from Great Zhou via The Maritime Silk Road to the other shore, where various reasons led him to stay there, marry, and spend the rest of his life.

"My grandfather was a native of Great Zhou, who later sailed across the sea, but the boat capsized due to a violent storm..."

Annie began to tell her story.

"Oh? There must be a long and poignant story here, right? Come, let’s sit down and talk about it slowly."

Su Pan’er hastily pulled her to sit down.

"After drifting on the sea for seven days, my grandfather was finally rescued by a passing ship and settled down locally, eventually marrying my grandmother. My grandmother was the one who saved my grandfather..."

"All his life, my grandfather hoped that one day a boat would pass by the coast, and he would be able to return to his homeland. But until his death, his wish never came true. Before he passed away, he made a will, asking my mother to take his ashes back to his ancestral land if ever the chance arose..."

Annie spoke of her ancestors’ past, leaving Su Pan’er no choice but to sigh at the unpredictability of life.

"I suppose that you have brought back your grandfather’s ashes to Great Zhou this time, haven’t you?"

"Not only the ashes, but also a small piece of my grandfather’s skull from his forehead, and a thumb ring that my great-grandmother gave to my grandfather before he left, I’ve brought them back with me on this trip."

As Annie spoke, her eyes were fixed on the dishes in front of her, exclaiming in astonishment.

"My goodness! To have so much delicious food here. And this set of luminous cups... oh my, these luminous cups are so beautiful! The taste of the grape wine... it’s simply too good!"

"I also think this grape wine is indeed delicious."

Su Pan’er was very detailed and proud of her knowledge of grape wine’s flavor.

"We native of Great Zhou always emphasize resting in our native soil after death. Since your grandfather’s last wish was to return to his homeland, once you find time and locate his hometown, you can take care of his posthumous affairs."

"This matter has been discussed with Muyi, and he will take care of finding my grandfather’s roots."

Annie drank the wine and used chopsticks to taste the food, nodding her head as she ate.

Muyi again?

Su Pan’er’s eyes flickered, and it seemed that she had to have a good talk with Big Brother Lui.

The meal was enjoyed by both host and guest.

When Lui Muyi finished the morning court session and came to fetch Annie from the palace, Su Pan’er was picking lotus pods and peeling lotus seeds with Annie.

"Muyi, why have you come so soon? I don’t feel I’ve played for long, wait for me a moment..."

Annie hurriedly ran to the other side, starting to select the lotus pods she had picked: "Pan’er, I really like these lotus pods, may I pick a few to take with me?"

"Don’t rush, you can take all these lotus pods, pick them at your leisure."

Su Pan’er naturally would not be stingy.

While Annie was enthusiastically selecting lotus pods, she led Muyi to a pavilion on the other side: "Big Brother Lui, do you have something you want to talk to me about?"
