Chapter 255: Chapter 254: The Truth is Right Before the Eyes_1

Old Qin’s face changed several times, from green to white. After a long while, he finally managed to stammer: "Hmph! Everybody knows the truth! But, in dealing with others and handling matters, one must be true to their own conscience! Don’t mislead yourself or others! Also, beware the power of rumors! Caution, always be cautious!"

After saying this, he sighed deeply, stood up, and walked out of the house with his hands clasped behind his back.

As he was about to leave, he sent Lui Muyi a glare full of wrath.

He dearly hoped that Qin Yi and Su Pan’er would live a happy, peaceful life.

The oldest was modest and unambitious, without any aspirations to illuminate their ancestors! The second child was too crafty, and the fourth was too young. As for the third child, ever since he married that foolish girl, his health has greatly improved. If he could focus on his studies, illuminating their ancestors was within reach.

He was unwilling to ruin the affection between the couple due to some rural rumors! Hence, he had purposely visited today to give them a few pointers, to prevent others from seizing opportunities!

Unexpectedly, Su Pan’er had heard it all clearly.

She was the one who had saved the Qin family back then, making him lose face. As a result, he had to stand up and leave quickly.

The conversation he had overheard from Qin Yi’s family had given him immense comfort.

This daughter-in-law was no ordinary woman!

She was a good daughter-in-law, beautiful on the outside and wise on the inside!

Having finally seen a likelihood of them leading a good life, he sincerely hoped that those shameless things wouldn’t disrupt the harmony between them.

Qin Yi hurriedly chased after him, stealing a glance at Su Pan’er and smiling: "Dad, where are you going? The food will be ready soon. Please stay for lunch before leaving!"

"No need, just live a good life with your wife!"

The faint sound of Old Qin’s reply could be heard in the distance.

"Pfft! This stubborn old man is really amusing."

Lui Muyi suddenly burst into laughter: "Oh no... so hot! The tea is scorching my hand."

Only then did he realize he had picked up the steaming hot cup of tea, causing him to hop around in pain.

Indeed, extreme happiness can lead to sorrow!

"Pfft! Serves you right. What were you doing? You didn’t even notice when you were pouring the tea."

Su Pan’er cast him a glance: "What’s it to do with you when people in our family are talking? What are you doing standing here?"

Then she turned to call Qin Yue: "Sister-in-law, please come in and sit... Huh, where’d she go?"

"She went with your father-in-law!"

Lui Muyi was fortunately quick to cover: "I just saw you come back and wanted to greet you. I didn’t expect to watch such a drama. That stubborn old man makes quite a scene when he starts lecturing people, haha!"

Su Pan’er took a seat on the stool, picked up the bamboo shoot and began carefully peeling its skin: "Right, do you have any business today? Did something else go wrong in the workshop? The issue of the wrong ratio last time is still not resolved, is it?"

"That issue has long been taken care of! The old men of the Qin family are very astute, you can rest assured!"

Lui Muyi moved closer to her, his face full of smiles: "I came over today to deliver a carriage to you. It’s parked outside, not sure if you’ll like it."

A carriage?

Su Pan’er paused in her peeling of the bamboo shoot, shifting slightly away without thinking.

Given the current circumstances, why is Lui Muyi getting closer? Doesn’t he know to keep a low profile? Honestly!

"You bought a carriage? Did Overlord Tiger tell you that I wanted to buy a carriage?"

Due to the partnership between the Qin and Lui families to open a winery, Overlord Tiger, who served as the runner, frequently visited Su Pan’er’s house.

Su Pan’er, who was envious of the convenience of having a carriage, asked Overlord Tiger to look out for her, to help her notice if there were any good and cheap carriages for sale.

"No, I noticed him asking around for carriages and I was curious, so I asked him. He accidentally let it slip and I found out."

Lui Muyi’s face was filled with laughter as he suddenly adopted a serious expression: "Pan’er, I’ve got to be honest with you! We are friends, and friends should be honest with each other. You can ask Overlord Tiger for help, but why didn’t you come directly to me? This way, you are not treating me, Lui Muyi, as a friend!"

"What are you talking about?"

Su Pan’er quickly explained: "For this carriage, it’s just for convenience. You have so many friends, if everyone came to you even for small matters like buying a carriage, you would be overloaded even with ten pairs of hands, wouldn’t you? Come on, let’s take a look at where the new carriage is!"

Su Pan’er suddenly became interested.

Initially, in order to construct the house, a road was dug from the entrance of the village to Qin’s house.

The new carriage was indeed parked under the bamboo forest outside, mixed in with the several carriages that Lui Muyi had driven over.

It looked very ordinary on the outside, but once Su Pan’er pulled back the curtain, she knew immediately that this wasn’t any ordinary carriage.

The carriage was spacious, and the seats were extremely soft.

With one sweep of her sharp eyes, Su Pan’er saw that there was a secret compartment underneath the seats, convenient for storing small items.

She slowly put the curtain back and Lui Muyi immediately came over: "So, Pan’er, are you satisfied with this carriage?"

"Satisfied, of course I’m satisfied! This carriage must not have been cheap, right?"

Su Pan’er curled up the corners of her mouth and forced her eyes away from the large horse that was pulling the carriage.

Such a good horse!

Only, why isn’t it being ridden and instead being used to pull a carriage?

"What are you saying? This carriage is quite cheap!"

Lui Muyi wore a face of ’I knew you were going to say that’: "I had custom-ordered a batch of carriages from a carriage shop to escort Old Xue back to the capital. This is just one of them. Because of my large order, the prices were naturally a lot cheaper. Both the cart and the horse together only cost ten taels of silver. Would you say that’s cheap?"

"Indeed, it’s quite cheap."

Su Pan’er nodded in understanding, took out a banknote from her bosom, and forced it into his hand.

"Here you go, for the carriage. Close brothers settle accounts clearly; friends must also make financial matters clear in order to have a long-lasting friendship."

These words caused Lui Muyi to withdraw his declined: "Okay, I’ll accept it, then... Huh! Why is it fifty silver? Pan’er, you made a mistake. This isn’t a banknote of ten taels."

Saying that, he pushed the banknote back towards her. Su Pan’er, in turn, pushed it back forcefully.

"Take it! Young Master Lui, don’t make me say it again!"

"No, you keep it."

"You keep it..."

"What are you two doing?"

Just as the two were pushing and pulling, a surprised voice suddenly came.

Mrs. Su-Hua stormed over in anger, placed herself between the two, and pulled Su Pan’er behind her protectively, like a mother hen guarding her chicks.

"Who the hell are you? Coming here to bully my daughter, are you seeking death? Get out or I’ll show you!"

Mrs. Su-Hua erupted in anger.

"Mom!"

Su Pan’er quickly explained: "Mother, you’ve misunderstood. This is Lui Muyi, Young Master Lui, the Young Master of Lui Family in the county city who partnered with me to open the winery!"

"I don’t know who you’re talking about!"

Mrs. Su-Hua replied indignantly: "A big man like you, have you no shame? Don’t you know to avoid suspicion? What are you doing, tussling with a woman? Aren’t you afraid that this would ruin a girl’s reputation?"
