Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Confrontation_1
Su Pan’er and her companion didn’t stand on ceremony and followed the footsteps into the yard.
In the yard, the old man from the Su Family had been expecting them! Seeing a group of people coming in, he quickly resumed his original position and pretended to cough solemnly.
Qin Yi stepped forward quickly, respectfully greeting old Su.
"Qin Yi pays his respects to Grandfather."
Seeing Qin Yi behave so appropriately, the old Patriarch Su’s aged face grinned like a flower blooming in the autumn wind: "You’re Qin Yi, right? Stand up, stand up. We’re all family here, so no need for such formalities. Quick, go get a chair!"
Yikes!
Everyone’s eyes widened, and jealous glances were cast towards Qin Yi in the middle.
Is it worth giving such honor to a sickly seedling who only has a few days left to live?
Several small heads were sticking out from the door of the inner room.
They were whispering to each other in low voices.
"Eh! Qin Yi’s complexion seems to be much better than last time. Has his health improved? " The Sixth Cousin Sister, Su Xian’er, who had a round face and hair done in double buns, commented.
"Thank you for Grandfather’s love!"
Qin Yi saluted with a fist, and sat down with great manners on the chair brought for him.
Old Man Su looked incredibly pleased: "Our Pan’er is a robust girl. Not only can she withstand beating and scolding, she also works excellently in the fields. It would need much attention from the Qin Family in the future..."
Su Pan’er, who took a chair by herself and sat next to Qin Yi, twisted her mouth at the corner, was he praising or cursing her?
"Did you see that? Oh!"
The fifth cousin sister, Su He’er, was slightly built and always talked in rapid succession.
Before anyone else could say anything, she had already said countless things, "Grandfather is so partial, that fool girl has married, and yet still allowed to talk at ease sitting down. His heart is overly biased already!" While speaking, she also gave Su Pan’er a hard stare.
Su Pan’er, sensing something, turned her head to look towards the curtain of the inner room.
Frightened, several of the cousin sisters quickly withdrew.
The curtain fluttered, reflecting several figures hiding behind it. After a moment’s thought, Su Pan’er understood who these people were and couldn’t help but laugh quietly to herself.
So it was them!
"Don’t talk nonsense. Regardless of anything, the fool has been married and belongs to someone else now."
Third Cousin Sister, Su Xi’er, quickly pulled Su He’er aside. Peeping outside, she twirled the bead in her hand, "That Qin Yi was originally the fiancé of our second sister, and Grandfather was really something for setting him up with an ugly and dark fool girl like her. It’s simply speechless. What do you say, second elder sister?"
Her words made all the sisters turn their eyes to the second elder sister, Su Yue’er.
Su Yue’er’s father, Su Sikong, is the eldest of the Su Family who served as a deputy county magistrate in the county city. Su Yue’er is his beloved only daughter, who he struggled to get later in his life. She is loved and doted upon. Furthermore, she is extremely beautiful with a pair of bright eyes that seem to speak, always attracting people’s attention wherever she goes.
Hearing this, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "He’er, stop talking nonsense! Fourth younger sister’s marriage was personally settled by Grandfather. How can we, the younger generation, talk about the elders casually?"
As her name implied, her voice was very crisp and pleasant, making people feel refreshed when they heard it.
This remark made Su He’er pout, "Second Elder Sister, He’er isn’t talking nonsense! If it weren’t for the third son of Qin Family’s Tuberculosis...how could that fool gain such a big advantage?"
This remark made the few cousins nod their heads.
Back then, Qin Yi passed the Imperial Examination and became a fragrant steamed bun in the eyes of major families nearby. Her uncle Su Sikong had ever felt more honored, securing an advantageous marriage set in childhood for Su Yue’er.
However, Qin Yi suddenly contracted tuberculosis and needed to hold a wedding to counter the bad luck urgently. Su Sikong only had this single daughter, how could he bear to let Su Yue’er marry over to counteract the sick luck and end up a widow?
That led to Su Pan’er’s subsequent replacement marriage.
Now that the matter has been pointed out by several cousins, a shadow loomed in Su Yue’er’s eyes, her eyes becoming red-rimmed, with tears rapidly accumulating at the corners.
A faint sob coming from beneath the embroidered handkerchief: "Fifth cousin, don’t say that. This marriage has indeed wronged fourth cousin. My, my guilt... I can’t bear it..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she threw herself in Su He’er’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
This heart-wrenching sob, causing everyone’s hearts to ache, their sympathy immediately stirred as they rushed to comfort her.
"Sister Yue’er, don’t cry. You crying makes us want to cry too..."
Su Xi’er off to the side harshly snapped: "This Su Pan’er is so damn annoying! She even dares to snatch her own cousin’s husband! If she dares to come in later... humph! I’ll make sure she pays for it!"
"Who will you make pay?"
Everyone was talking, suddenly there was a commotion from outside. The meeting in front seemed to have ended, and Su Pan’er entered the inner room with her mother.
Su Pan’er’s gaze quickly swept over everyone, the corners of her mouth curled into a teasing smile.
The mocking smile, never seen on her face before, was like a powerful lightning bolt in the dark night, momentarily blinding everyone’s eyes.
"Why have you all stopped talking? Who do you intend to make pay?"
This domineering Su Pan’er was unlike anyone they had ever seen.
Everyone subconsciously agreed and shrank back. Since when did the Fool dare to talk to them like this? Su He’er was indignantly unyielding, standing up with her neck bristling.
"I’m talking about you! Don’t think just because you, a dark and ugly fool, got married your wings are hardened. Even snatching your second cousin’s fiancé, have you no shame!"
Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow.
Initially forcing the original body to marry on her behalf, but now it’s turned into her snatching her second cousin’s fiancé?
"So, is that what you think too?"
Su Pan’er questioned Su Yue’er.
Su Yue’er’s eyes instantly reddened: "Fourth cousin, we’ve been good sisters since we were young, second sister realized that having you marry in her place was indeed wrong, second sister and I, we... my heart..."
As she was talking, she choked and couldn’t continue. Her delicate figure shuddered visibly, evidently distraught.
Her hand clutched tightly in her sleeve, her knuckles whitening.
"Do you really think so?"
Su Pan’er sneered.
Su Yue’er continued to sob uncontrollably but remained silent. Under her lashes, her gaze touched upon the sneer on the other’s face and a cruel, cold glint swept through her eyes!
Su Pan’er’s pressing momentum instantly provoked several of the cousins present.
"Second cousin, don’t cry! We’ll sure help you teach this fool a lesson!" Su He’er was eager to jump in, yet dared not, making it an awkward scene.
Su Yue’er, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, finally composed herself, lightly wiping with her handkerchief, gently said: "All of you, don’t talk like this. No matter what, Pan’er is still our good sister. Everyone should be considerate of her...We can’t possibly...We can’t possible..." Yet, a fleeting shadow passed her eyes.
Looking at Su Yue’er in her weak state, Su He’er stomped her foot in irritation!
"I say, Sister Yue’er, you’re simply too kind, hence always being stepped on by that damn girl Pan’er. A dark and ugly fool like her, does she deserve such a good man? Is she worthy? No, she’s not!" Even if this man was the one second cousin didn’t want!
Su Xian’er, off to the side, continuously stirred up trouble as well. Thinking of the handsome face she’d just seen, a gorgeous blush rose on her cheeks.
