In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 449: Chapter 448: Does The First Time Hurt?_1

Last time, in order to show her sincerity, Su Ping’er knelt there quietly, saying not a word.

But today Su Ping’er wore a look of smug satisfaction, as if she already held the winning ticket.

Upon entering, she didn’t greet Su Pan’er, but glanced at Aunt Zhou: "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my fourth cousin sister, let’s chat today. As for these people with nothing better to do..."

Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow!

She looked at Su Ping’er with an indifferent look, then turned her head and nodded to Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou left looking uneasy.

Su Pan’er casually flipped through the scroll in her hand, not even raising her head, and asked Su Ping’er nonchalantly.

"Speak up, why are you looking for me today?"

A smile slowly spread across Su Ping’er’s face!

She made her way over to a chair next to Su Pan’er, settled herself down, and smiled demurely.

"Today, first, I want to resolve the misunderstanding between us sisters, and second, I am here to congratulate your husband on becoming a county magistrate. It seems that our fates, as sisters, are quite similar, as we have both married officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is indeed cause for celebration! In the future, we should spend more time together and foster a closer relationship!"

"As sisters, it is indeed natural to spend a lot of time together."

As if she hadn’t noticed Su Ping’er’s actions, Su Pan’er didn’t even raise her head and responded slowly, "If your heart’s intention is to stab me, despite having sisterly ties by word of mouth, understandably, I would rather steer clear of you!"

Su Ping’er’s face froze a little, but after a moment, she beamed widely at Su Pan’er: "We are all from the Su Family, we are sisters. We should talk more as a family. Going forward, I will ask my husband to take good care of yours."

"I appreciate your goodwill."

Su Pan’er lifted her head to look at Su Ping’er and calmly responded, "However, my husband is a straightforward and upright man who values his own abilities and merit more than anything else. He absolutely loathes leveraging power and influence to get what he wants. So, your offer of ’care’ is much redundant!"

"Oh, not at all, it’s only right to do so."

Su Ping’er appeared to realize something, "Oh! It seems my elder sister has forgotten something. Isn’t Changze County, where your husband serves, under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou Prefecture? Seems like my elder sister is a bit confused."

With that, she covered her face with her hand, feigning a sigh as she hid the hatred in her eyes.

Even if you, Su Pan’er, are stupendously lucky, what does it matter if you’re a high-ranking lady of the court?

A wife’s status supposedly improves with her husband!

Is your husband not a mere county magistrate, who crawled his way up from a rural area? How wealthy can he possibly be?

Ha!

"My eldest cousin seems to have indeed gotten confused."

Su Pan’er nodded in agreement: "Just now, my cousin mentioned that my husband values his own abilities for success. However, the moment she turned around, my elder cousin appeared to have forgotten that. If that’s not confusion, what is it?"

"You..."

Su Ping’er’s face darkened, clearly infuriated. There was a cold glint in her eyes as she stared at Su Pan’er: "Fourth cousin sister, united we stand, divided we fall. We are all from the Su family, do you really want to pretend to be noble and unapproachable? Don’t forget that when your husband wants a promotion or a rank upgrade in the future, he will need the approval of my husband. You better not burn your own bridges. When that time comes, even if you come crawling and begging, I, Su Ping’er..."

"Let’s not talk about whether that day will come or not, even if it does, I, Su Pan’er, would never stoop to beg you."

Su Pan’er cut off Su Ping’er’s unfinished sentence, then raised her voice and shouted, "Aunt Zhou, my first cousin seems to have exhausted herself into confusion. Could you please see her out?"

This was a plain expulsion!

Rage flickered in the eyes of Su Ping’er, and her slender lips clenched tight as she gritted her teeth!

Su Pan’er calmly met her gaze, saying nothing.

Aunt Zhou quickly entered, her face calm and composed. She opened the door, "Madam, you’re kindly requested to leave!"

"Well done, Su Pan’er! Since you’re so adamant... remember what you said today!"

After staring at Su Pan’er for a while and noticing her indifference, Su Ping’er eventually had no choice but to drop her harsh words, turn around, and walk out briskly.

Su Pan’er’s mouth curved slightly upward.

She tilted back in her chair, slowly rolling up the scroll in her hands.

The scroll was not a casual read, but a detailed record of the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It contained specifics like, "A concubine cannot become a wife," and those who violated this law were to be punished with twenty strokes of the pole and fined five hundred silver.

Though Su Ping’er had been promoted to the main wife after Lord Jiang’s former wife had passed away, this upgrade would always be regarded as a stain if any official in the court lodged a complaint.

And yet, Su Ping’er had been promoted!

Clearly, she was capable!

Maybe she should write a letter to Qin Yi about this, keeping him aware of this possible threat.

Following through on her decision, she quickly drafted a letter, which was dispatched first thing the next morning.

While anxiously awaiting Qin Yi’s response, Jun Ruochen and Jun Ruoxue unexpectedly paid her a visit!

"Sister Pan’er, Brother Chen is here to inspect the public sentiment and look into the autumn harvest situation, so I begged him to bring me along to see you. How is it? Is our little nephew behaving well today?" Jun Ruoxue came bounding in happily.

As soon as she was out of Jun Ruochen’s sight, she ran wild like a free horse.

All of your energy, huh? I slept until a moment ago.

As soon as she saw her, Su Pan’er hurriedly welcomed her, "You’ve come alone again? You didn’t ditch Zi Lan, did you?"

"I wouldn’t dare, Zi Lan has become quite capable now. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t ditch her. She’s outside helping Aunt Zhou."

Jun Ruoxue peered at her stomach with interest, "How do you fit a child in such a flat belly, and then give birth?"

"..."

Su Pan’er was lost for words. She really didn’t know how to answer that question.

"Psst! I’m just teasing you. Actually, I know."

Jun Ruoxue suddenly laughed and leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Sister Pan’er, was it... was it fun? And, was it very painful the first time?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know... that!"

"What exactly do you mean?"

Su Pan’er looked curious, trying to stifle a laugh at Jun Ruoxue’s blush-splattered face and her struggle to express herself.

Jun Ruoxue bit her lip, before playfully shoving Su Pan’er.

"Naughty Sister Pan’er, you are doing it on purpose, aren’t you? Hmph!"

"What do you mean? I really don’t know what you are talking about!"

Su Pan’er feigned ignorance.

"You still deny it? I am not talking to you anymore!"

Jun Ruoxue pouted, her embarrassment made her sit to one side with her back to Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er quickly reached under Jun Ruoxue’s arm, tickling her lightly, "Don’t be like that! Xue’er, why are you suddenly interested in these things? Don’t tell me... you have someone you like?"

"Wh-who likes someone?"

Jun Ruoxue’s face turned beet red instantly, "Don’t make things up, I don’t like anyone! Besides, it’s impossible for me to like someone..." As she spoke, a shadow fell over her eyes.
