Chapter 481: Chapter 480: Can this even compare? It’s beyond anything......_1

"Is it less? Not any less."

Su Pan’er looked innocent, "When I first married into the Qin family, all I carried with me was a bedroll, and the bed I was given collapsed the moment I lay on it. As for your dear sister, she didn’t even give me a courtesy gift. Now, I am giving away three yards of cloth, I feel as if I am being overly generous!"

Qin Yi was amused and couldn’t resist ruffling her hair.

"You, oh you, the saying ’times change’ suits you perfectly! If you indeed take the three yards of cloth as a gift, where should I, an eighth-grade County Magistrate, put my face? Where should the lady of the fourth-grade nobility, your sister-in-law, put hers?"

Yes, think about it!

"Indeed, a profound reputation comes with great demands!"

If the gift is truly sent out this way, others might think that his sister-in-law can’t tolerate her unmarried sister-in-law!

Though she complains, Su Pan’er prepares nevertheless.

A set of gold and silver jewelry, a big red bed curtain embroidered with double happiness characters, two pieces of brocade, a pair of purple jade pots in spring vases...

All these and more, she collected a great array of items together, and sent them over on the day of arrival.

A big event had occurred in the Qin family a few days ago, and the people in the village had been discussing it recently. Although Su Pan’er didn’t move around the village much, she had heard quite a bit of the gossip.

The moment she made her move, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on her.

The Qin family guessed early in the morning that Su Pan’ er would send a grand gift, but they didn’t expect the gift to be this grand!

Mrs. Qin-Li’s inverted triangle eyes glanced over it and skulked away.

In the past, she dared to be defiant in front of Qin Yi because she had thought of him as an illegitimate child and had put on airs.

Upon discovering that Qin Yi was not the biological son of Old Qin, and that he became an official, with Su Pan’er being the wife of a fourth-grade nobleman!

Every time she saw Su Pan’er, she acted as if a mouse had spotted a cat, keeping as far away as possible!

An overjoyed Old Qin quickly cleared the central position to prominently display the gifts for everyone to admire.

Everyone came forward one by one, highly praising Su Pan’er’s lavish gifts.

Some even dug into the past disputes between Qin Wan’er and Su Pan’er, and everyone sighed in admiration, once again praising Su Pan’er for letting bygones be bygones.

Regardless of their praise or their disparagement, Su Pan’er could not care less.

She and Qin Yi entered the house casually with smiles on their faces, accompanied by the radiant Old Qin, and took their seats to the left.

"It’s still early. The groom’s side might not be here so soon. Let’s all sit down, have a bite to eat, a drink, and wait for the good news."

As Old Qin spoke, he personally passed a cup of refreshment to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi hurriedly stood up to accept it and thanked Old Qin, "Dad, you don’t need to hustle. This is a joyous occasion, everyone can wait a while."

Seeing the men left and right, Su Pan’er stood up under the pretext of congratulating Qin Wan’er, and left the main room.

The moment she stepped out, she was caught by Qin Yueshi, who had been looking for her everywhere.

"Hey! I knew you would come. Let’s go, we can sit over there for a while."

Saying this, she led Su Pan’er to the side room.

In the side room, there were several women. Su Pan’er scanned the group, all of them were young wives from the Qin family. Even the gossipy Mrs. Qin-Zhang was among them. They stood up and greeted her somewhat timidly when they saw Su Pan’er coming in.

"Please, all sit. We’re all familiar with one another, no need for such formalities."

Su Pan’er casually responded. Seeing everyone in the room still acting rigid, she smiled slightly and took the lead to sit down on a chair.

Only then did the others sit down with notes of thanks.

"We are all family, no need for such formality."

Qin Yueshi, patting Su Pan’er’s hand, joined her on the chair, "Third brother’s wife, we haven’t seen each other in a few days, why have you lost more weight?"

"Have I? I didn’t notice."

Su Pan’er hasn’t really paid attention to whether she had lost weight. She had been having a good appetite recently, so there was no reason for her to lose weight.

"You look so much thinner, except for your belly which has noticeably grown a lot."

Qin Yueshi laughed and held her hand, "You probably already know about the trouble that happened at the Qin Family’s ancestral hall a few days ago, right?"

"Yes, I know about it. Qin Yi also went to deal with it."

Su Pan’er said indifferently, without making any other comments.

"Heh! What a pity that you didn’t witness it - I watched over the whole incident from start to finish!"

Mrs. Qin-Zhang eagerly took over with a thrilled expression on her face, "You should have seen how sickly Third Uncle used to look. Now that he’s in office, he’s completely different - it’s really so unexpected! You guys didn’t see how he handled the crowd of troublemakers without showing any fear or even wrinkling a brow!"

"He just stood in front of everyone! With a sweep of his eyes, the imposing manner kept the whole room quiet! Even though there were many under the stage who were dissatisfied, he quoted and reasoned, analyzed the pros and cons, and talked eloquently and convincingly!"

Qin Yueshi spoke animatedly.

All present nodded in agreement.

"I also saw this event. Unbelievably, he usually has a gentle demeanor, but when dealing with matters, he’s incredibly efficient and powerful!"

"He’s indeed too imposing, too extraordinary! He’s so manly, quite unlike my husband..."

"Hey, don’t compare with your husband! What’s your husband got to do with ours? You can’t compare them at all..."

Once the topic was opened, everyone began discussing enthusiastically.

They even repeated Qin Yi’s words, tones, expressions, etc. that night, performing so vividly as if the scene was happening right before their eyes.

Su Pan’er listened carefully, imagining the scene of Qin Yi standing in front of the crowd that night, placid and majestic, based on their dramatic recounts.

She imagined how his words and actions had sparked admiration from everyone, transforming a crowd ablaze with anger into willing supporters full of gratitude.

A light smile curled up at the corners of her mouth.

Her eyes also became especially misty.

It turned out that in her obliviousness, he had already changed!

He was no longer the same person who forced a nonchalant smile through his persistent coughing while lying in bed!

He has now become so imposing, so dignified, roaring with power yet still balancing civil and military excellency!

No wonder people on the road looked at the two of them today with such respectful glances.

Su Pan’er’s eyes were filled with joy.

Not long after, people from Qin Wan’ers husband’s family finally arrived, and the engagement banquet began.

Su Pan’er also met her future brother-in-law, a young man with slicked hair and rouge. His creepy stare made people uncomfortable.

At the banquet, Qin Yi and Su Pan’er were invited to the main table and received toasts from the crowd.

Even Qin Wan’er, who usually looked at Su Pan’er less favorably, was all smiles and personally came over to pour wine for them.

Since Su Pan’er couldn’t drink, she substituted with tea, drinking until her stomach was bloated.

Qin Yi got drunk.

After the banquet ended, it started raining suddenly.

The page boy held up a lantern to light the way, its dim candlelight flickering constantly. Qin Yi, soaked in alcohol, held Su Pan’er by the waist and walked home with a beaming smile.

"Pan’er, let me tell you, today, I was really... so happy, so happy, hic!"

He let out a hiccup, his steps unsteady: "My... my dad... he praised me today. Hahaha, he praised me! I’m so happy..."

Babbling in his drunken state, he stumbled along, nearly pulling Su Pan’er into roadside several times.

The maidservants and page boys behind them were frightened.
