Chapter 254: Chapter 253: Pan’er Distinguishes _1

Father-in-law?

He actually came, that’s unusual!

Su Pan’er glanced at Qin Yi and quickly quickened her pace.

Halfway there, when no one was noticing, Qin Yueshi secretly tugged at Su Pan’er’s arm.

Su Pan’er glanced, stopped and said: "I remembered that there are some bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest over there. My sister-in-law and I will go dig some up. We’ll be back in a bit. You all go back first to rest and have some clear tea."

With that, she glanced at Qin Yi meaningfully.

Qin Yi naturally continued, "Young Master Lui, Lord Ba, please. Zhou Ning, you too."

Lui Muyi’s eyes flickered, and he chuckled and moved forward, "That’s great, after a morning’s journey, I’m quite thirsty now. Some clear tea would be just right to moisten my throat."

Zhou Ning, however, was a bit too naive, "Pan’er, why don’t I come with you? I’m strong and good at digging bamboo shoots! "

"No need, I’ll be fine in a bit."

Su Pan’er quickly waved her hand, "Besides, we have guests at home today. Those game meats in your hand need you and aunt to prep them early on. "

Hearing that he had work to do, Zhou Ning finally stopped, heartily smacking his chest, "Pan’er, you can rest assured! I definitely won’t delay mealtime."

Only then did Su Pan’er laugh and walk toward the bamboo forest with Qin Yueshi.

It was currently the season for new bamboo shoots in the forest, with most of the ones just sprouted being about as tall as a person.

What Su Pan’er was searching for were the yet-to-sprout late bamboo shoots.

These late shoots not only absorb nutrients from the mother bamboo, reducing the amount of new shoots next year but also take the nutrients from the new shoots that have sprouted. Therefore, digging these late shoots wouldn’t affect the bamboo forest.

Watching Su Pan’er happily digging shoots, Qin Yueshi had a worried expression.

"Ah! My, my third sister-in-law! And you’re out here leisurely digging shoots? Really now...."

"What’s the matter? Sister-in-law, do you have something to tell Pan’er?"

Su Pan’er casually pulled out the newly dug shoots, stripped the skin off and asked.

"Isn’t it..."

Qin Yueshi wanted to speak, but she glanced around cautiously, saw no anomalies, and then got closer to Su Pan’er.

"Did you know? They’re all talking about you outside. And there you are, acting like nothing happened! If the Clan Leader comes, it’s going to be too late!"

"What are they saying about me?"

Su Pan’er casually turned around and quickly discovered another new shoot at her feet, so she started digging immediately.

"Stop digging!"

Qin Yueshi seemed a bit angry; she thought for a while, then whispered something.

"What? They are saying that Young Master Lui and I are being improper? Sister-in-law, you didn’t hear it wrong, did you?" Su Pan’er couldn’t help but shout out in surprise.

She was completely unprepared for Qin Yueshi to bring up this matter.

"Ay, why are you shouting so loudly? If others hear... I must tell you, it’s all over the nearby villages! Not only are they saying you and that Young Master Lui are involved, they’re also talking about... about..."

"What else are they saying?"

"They’re saying... saying that Third Uncle and Second Young Miss Su were involved, and they were found rolling down a slope together!"

Qin Yueshi blushed and stammered.

"Pfft!"

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but burst into laughter at this absurdity!

She has truly experienced what it means to fear the power of gossip!

In the past month, Lui Family and Qin Family had collaborated to open a Bamboo Leaf Qing Liquor Workshop. Since all was still in its initial phases, Lui Muyi often visited Luoyan Village.

Although every time he came, he would visit the Qin Family and undoubtedly, Qin Yi would accompany him.

How on earth did the rumors about her and Lui Muyi come about?

"You, oh you! Sigh, what am I to do with you?"

Qin Yueshi seemed even more agitated than Su Pan’er, the one in question. "Did you not hear? Just a half month ago, a minor concubine of an affluent merchant downstream was stuffed into a pig cage and drowned for committing adultery. Her corpse washed up on a sandy beach dozens of miles downstream, stinking up the place and no one bothered. You..."

"Sister, you’re wrong! I haven’t done anything."

Su Pan’er couldn’t let Qin Yueshi continue: "We are innocent when the heart is clear. As Su Pan’er, I hold myself upright and never engaged in any flirtations or liaisons. Now, I’m curious to see what kind of flower they can conjure from their rumors."

Digging out a bamboo shoot and stripping it, she was somewhat vexed and lost the interest to continue digging up more shoots.

She simply bundled up the few bamboo shoots she had dug up and turned to head home.

Qin Yueshi was taken aback and hurriedly caught up.

"Third Brother’s wife, don’t be angry at your sister-in-law, I am..."

"Sister-in-law, thank you for telling me about this. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark. How could I blame you?"

Su Pan’er gave a smile: "Let’s go! I’m afraid Dad is getting anxious at home."

She spoke and quickly headed home.

No wonder Father unexpectedly visited today!

At this moment, Old Qin is seriously talking, educating Qin Yi on the sidelines.

"One should always marry a virtuous wife!... The only standard for choosing a wife is to find one who is talented and virtuous. There’s an old saying ’One should not forget poor friends; a discarded wife should not be discarded.’ However, as villagers, there are things you should manage. As a husband, you need to show your momentum..."

Old Qin gave numerous examples and countless pieces of advice, depicting every bit of confusion and doubt, while Qin Yi silently listened without uttering a word.

When Su Pan’er and Qin Yueshi returned, they heard Old Qin reprimanding Qin Yi, which made her blood boil.

Instead of getting angry, she laughed at the thought.

"Father is indeed wise."

While speaking, Su Pan’er stepped into the house.

She set the bamboo shoots in her hand on a corner of the table and then went forward to pay her respects.

"Upon hearing Father’s admonishment just now, I felt comforted. However, there’s something that I don’t understand, and I hope Father can enlighten me."

"Oh..."

Old Qin had been interrupted by Su Pan’er and stopped talking, his face flushed with embarrassment and he lowered his head without speaking.

Su Pan’er, unaffected, started to talk.

"Just now I heard Father mention about choosing a wife, emphasizing virtue and capability. It made me deeply moved. The so-called virtuous is not only about knowledge and reasoning, nor just about household chores and childbearing. A virtuous wife should handle all things smoothly and be resolved to revoke what’s wrong – this is truly a virtuous action."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi looked up, his eyes filled with light.

Old Qin’s face turned a darker shade but he did not say a word.

Lui Muyi who came in slowly with a cup of tea was even more surprised, even spilling his tea without realizing.

"In this age of fierce competition, ’Those who start well are half done, those who finish well are few.’ Only when a husband and wife treat each other with sincere care, treat each other equally, share honor and disgrace together, can they succeed in family and work."

Su Pan’er spoke passionately:" With a virtuous wife, the family would be harmonious. And with a harmonious family, all things can prosper! With all prospering, how can the family business not be successful? There will be no national unrest, no world injustice! Father, do you agree with what I said?"

Her voice softened, asking Old Qin with a smile.
