Chapter 385: Chapter 384: With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?_1
Upon seeing the two, Mrs. Qin-Li darted into the inner room as if she had seen a ghost.
The two respectfully paid their respects and explained their intentions.
Old Qin fell silent for a moment, sighing lightly before he began, "The news from your house, Third Son, reached me this morning when I was weeding. I heard from some villagers that you were driven out by the Su Family?"
Such blunt words.
Su Pan’er was slightly taken aback. Did her father-in-law know about yesterday’s afternoon incident by this morning?
Who said ancient gossip spread slowly?
"Indeed, it is true." Su Pan’er stated candidly.
"Third Son, what exactly happened? How could Pan’er’s grandfather bear to drive such a good granddaughter away?" Old Qin looked perplexed.
"Father, here’s what actually happened..."
Qin Yi quickly explained Su Hai’s real intentions.
"Indeed, the Su family, descendants of former prime ministers, are truly extraordinary! Your grandfather is indeed a seasoned and deep-plotted strategist, not an ordinary man!" Old Qin sighed in admiration.
Among the large families in the nearby area, apart from the Qin Family, which has the largest number of members, the Su Family has always been influential due to their achievements in officialdom.
Now that the Su Family also had to contemplate an exit strategy, Old Qin could not help but sigh regretfully.
"Alright, it might be good for you to lay low in Lin County. Set out steadily and don’t worry about the home front. Nothing of significant consequence could happen within our humble household. We can’t provide much help for you out there, remember the saying ’Human relationships are paper-thin; worldly affairs change like the movements on a chessboard’. Be vigilant... Come to think of it, when I was young, I received two fairly sharp daggers..."
Old Qin, while speaking, got to his feet and went inside the room. Shortly after, he returned to hand over two daggers.
His older face broke into a wide smile, "Now that I think of it, these two daggers have been left untouched at home for many years. They were acquired unintentionally; you can take them with you for self-protection!"
Qin Yi obediently accepted them, "Thank you, father."
The three chatted casually for a while before the two got up to bid farewell.
Qin Yi took out two parcels of silver from his bosom and quietly handed them to Old Qin, "Father, I do not know when we will return. Please take these."
"How can this be possible? You should not be doing this, quickly take them back!"
Old Qin was slightly taken aback and quickly took out the parcels from his bosom, pushing them back towards Qin Yi, "You must take adequate funds when traveling. I can’t contribute to this, neither can I take your money; that would make me a horrible person. Hold onto them, hold onto them!"
"Father, we have enough here, this is for you!"
Qin Yi naturally refused and pushed them back again.
Old Qin firmly refused to accept the parcels, "Absolutely not. Lin County is not far away. I insist on not accepting it, take it back! Quickly put it away before your shallow-eyed mother sees it!"
"Father-in-law, please accept it! This is a token of gratitude from Qin Yi and me, it’s just pocket money for you, not a retirement fund. Please accept it."
Seeing the two offering and refusing the money, Su Pan’er standing at the door spoke.
Qin Yi gratefully looked back at Su Pan’er, forcing the silver into Old Qin’s pocket, "Father, this is a little token from Qin Yi and Pan’er. Please accept it."
Old Qin’s hand trembled slightly. After glancing at Su Pan’er’s calm gaze, he finally stopped refusing.
"Alright, okay! Okay...Father, I will accept it, you both take care of yourselves on the journey, and be safe."
"We will, father!"
Only then did the two leave the house.
As soon as they got to the courtyard, they noticed Mrs. Qin-Li and Mrs. Qin-Chen peeking from the side-room door. Seeing Su Pan’er’s gaze, they immediately retreated back.
The two pretended not to see and left the Qin Family house.
"Thank you, Pan’er."
Qin Yi’s eyes were slightly damp, and he looked at her with excitement.
Su Pan’er was looking around, disappointed not to see Shuang’er and Qin Yueshi, and turned to reply when she heard his words, "Huh, thank me? For what? What have I done?" She looked bewildered.
"No, nothing."
Qin Yi quickly shook his head, simply holding Su Pan’er’s hand even tighter.
With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
"Let’s go! We still need to pay a visit to the Clan Leader."
The two left the Qin Family and went to the Clan Leader, bidding him farewell. They also went to their new residence to discuss the bridal chamber matters with several masters, finally making a trip to Master Uncle Cheng’s house.
At this moment, it was getting dark, and Master Uncle Cheng had prepared a table full of dishes waiting for them.
Seeing the two enter, he immediately greeted them into the house with a beaming smile.
"I guessed that you would come, and indeed you did!"
Master Uncle Cheng pointed to a chair, "Sit! I just made some dishes; let’s eat together."
"Master Uncle Cheng really has divine foresight! We haven’t eaten yet; this is a real treat."
The two were famished, and the sight of the food was like a timely rescue. Without holding back, they sat down and indulged themselves.
After the meal, Master Uncle Cheng brought out Clear Tea, "Taste this, it’s this year’s new tea, and it’s really good."
The two looked at each other, bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Uncle. Master Uncle, we are here to inform you about some unfortunate news."
"What unfortunate... "
Old Cheng swiftly interjected, "Pan’er, speak your mind freely. I have seen many partings in my life. No matter the situation, I think I can handle it."
"Alright, then I’ll speak straightforwardly."
Su Pan’er took a deep breath, "Master Uncle, my master, the master of Hengxiang Hall, he... has passed away."
"What?"
Old Cheng was shocked, "When did this happen?"
"We are not sure about the exact date, but, on this trip, we accidentally wandered into a cave while hunting on the mountain..."
Qin Yi spoke with a pained expression, recounting the details of finding the skeleton in Hengxiang Hall, "We thought that our master had simply wandered off, never imagining that... If it wasn’t for today’s coincidences, we would likely have been kept in the dark forever. Sigh!"
Master Uncle Cheng walked to the window, raised his head, and gazed at the sky overhead.
After a long silence, he let out a long sigh!
"It is unfortunate for the sect! Already weather beaten, I never thought there would be insurrection. Ah! Truly unfortunate for the sect! Enough, let’s not talk about it."
He slowly turned around, pacing in front of the two, "Let’s talk about something else! In the evening, there were quite a few incidents at Su Family, you two... are you alright?"
"Nothing much, my grandfather was just... planning ahead..."
Su Pan’er hesitated before speaking softly.
"Hmm, I guessed that would be the reason. In that case, you should avoid contacting them for now, to avoid wasting your grandfather’s effort."
Master Uncle Cheng spoke softly.
"We naturally understand this. However, at the moment, we may have the intention but lack the power."
Su Pan’er let out a bitter smile.
