Chapter 443: Chapter 442 Leave this Matter to Me_1

Feeling more tired than ever after her pregnancy, she was overwhelmed with fatigue.

She leaned against the head of the bed, planning to doze off for a while, when she saw Qin Yi hurriedly entering the room.

Upon seeing no one else in the room, he sighed with relief. His gaze moved to Su Pan’er as he quickly approached her.

"Pan’er, you haven’t gotten into any trouble, have you? I heard someone was giving you a hard time..."

Su Pan’er slightly squinted her eyes and shook her head.

"Nothing happened, and even if something did, wouldn’t you be there? Also, weren’t you supposed to meet the Clan Leader? It does not seem right to leave in such a hurry."

"The Clan Leader is no stranger; he would understand."

Qin Yi seemed anxious, he muttered under his breath as he sat down beside her: "It was said that the Su Family sent someone; who came? It wasn’t Su Hao again, was it?"

Back when Su Pan’er had troubles, Su Hao was the most proactive. He was quickly adopted by another Su surname who had no descendants, and he cut ties with the Su Family.

It was he who, upon learning that Qin Yi became the County Magistrate of Changze County, visited again and again.

Having someone like Su Hao around would inevitably lead to him pocketing earnings secretly while working for his employer, he might even end up selling himself without realizing.

Would Qin Yi allow such a thing?

Of course, he did not even want to meet him.

"It wasn’t him, it was Su Ping’er."

Su Pan’er closed her eyes, somewhat tired.

"Su Ping’er?"

Qin Yi hesitated.

"Mhm, the one who was supposedly sent to serve in the prefect’s house in order to gain favor for Su Sikong."

With Su Pan’er’s explanation, Qin Yi had a sudden realization!

"So it was her! What is she here for? She should be here to pay respect to your uncle, isn’t she? What could she want from you?"

Su Pan’er squinted at him and then laughed: "Just her, now she claims to be the wife of the prefect. As for her purpose, it wasn’t to pay respects to Su Sikong. She’s here to confront me."

"Tsk! This... really is..."

Qin Yi swallowed his words, they were on the tip of his tongue but he refrained from uttering them.

"Snort! What do you want to say?"

Su Pan’er was suddenly interested: "Are you trying to say that the women of the Su Family are really peculiar?"

Qin Yi looked at her in surprise, chuckled but said nothing.

"Actually, I feel the same way too." Su Pan’er surprisingly laughed.

Qin Yi stroked her back to comfort her: "What did she confront you about? Was it because of the issue with Su Hao?"

Su Pan’er curled up on his lap drowsily, like a docile kitten.

"She was here to question me about Su Sikong. I suspect that when she went to the Su Family and saw my grandfather, he didn’t say anything. This would naturally make her think differently about the situation. Moreover, it’s likely that Su Yue’er has been stirring the pot behind the scenes, so they have prematurely determined that I was the one who harmed Su Sikong."

Upon reflection, she concluded that she was an innocent victim in this matter!

As the two of them were talking, Aunt Xiao returned.

She reported to them the information she had gathered from the Su Family.

"Madam, Your servant has found out everything. This lady, your aunt, arrived at the Su Family early this morning, after visiting the patriarch, she came straight here. After she left here, she called a few people for a talk. Mrs. Su-Hua said to leave the matters of the Su Family to her, so Madam, you have nothing to worry about."

Mrs. Su-Hua that Aunt Xiao referred to was actually Mrs. Su-Hua.

These words made Su Pan’er laugh: "This is truly as expected. By the way, did you find out why Su Ping’er claims to be the wife?"

Aunt Xiao hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, I found out. When the prefect’s wife was originally sent to the prefect’s house, she indeed entered as a concubine. However, the prefect’s original wife was frail, and the prefect had no offspring. Coincidentally, this concubine had three children in four years. After the original wife died and the mourning period passed, this daughter of the Su Family was elevated to the position of a widower’s second wife, becoming the Prefect’s wife."

"So, it turns out the sparrow has turned into a phoenix."

Su Pan’er laughed.

"You can get back to your work."

Qin Yi waved his hand to dismiss Aunt Xiao, then looked back at Su Pan’er with her tired face: "This Su Ping’er is truly worthy of being a Su Family member. Even if she is the wife of a fifth-grade official, you, on the other hand, are the appointed wife of a fourth-grade official. However, she boldly flaunted her status in front of you. It’s really..."

As he spoke, Qin Yi couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh.

"I guess no one has told her about this yet!"

The only explanation for Su Ping’er daring to talk to her like this must be that she was still unaware.

A stern look flashed in Qin Yi’s eyes: "You just focus on your Pregnancy Health, leave this matter to me!"

"Leave it to you? This is a matter of the back of the house, why should you, a man, get involved?"

"Who said I was going to get involved in the back house affairs? What are you thinking about in that little head of yours!"

Qin Yi was both amused and frustrated, he reached up and ruffled her hair, which only made her already disheveled hair messier: "Do I need to deal with her? Isn’t it better to use direct approach and ’draw a stake from under the cauldron’?"

"Stop messing with my hair."

Su Pan’er removed his hand: "Fine! I’ll let you give it a go first."

"Rest assured, in a few days, I’ll make her come and apologize to you and admit her mistake!"

As Qin Yi spoke with certainty, Su Pan’er smiled slightly.

In fact, she didn’t care whether Su Ping’er came to apologize or not!

However, she has always operated on mutual respect, if you are disrespectful to me, I won’t be respectful to you either. She would never allow unrelated people to ruin her mood.

She continued to prepare for Qin Yi’s departure in earnest.

Just one day before Qin Yi set off, as he had predicted, Su Ping’er really did come to apologize personally!

She, with her back straight, kneeled outside the Qin Family mansion, accompanied by that maidservant she had brought the last time, disregarding the pointing and whispers of passersby.

Speaking of the mansion of the Qin Family, since it was built and moved into, the land where the relief troops and officials set up tents during the plague gradually saw emergence of new houses, surprisingly some people intentionally moved not far from the Qin Family mansion.

And because it was convenient to transport goods for building the mansion from the village to the Qin Family, Su Pan’er even made a crude road that leads straight to it.

These new houses were mainly located on both sides of this Crude Stem Road, making travel very convenient.

Now with Su Ping’er kneeling down without regard for her dignity, it immediately attracted many pairs of inquisitive eyes.

The maidservant by her side had a flushed face, feeling so embarrassed she wished she could bury her face in the ground.

Su Ping’er was also a tough person, she was kneeling there calmly, motionless, as if she hadn’t noticed the stares from others.

Su Pan’er received the news, only chuckled lightly, but did not rush out to meet her.

Instead, she confidently took a short nap, woke up leisurely, ate half a bowl of lily, white fungus and snow pear soup, then took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.

"Let’s go! Let’s go out and take a look."
