Chapter 540: Chapter 539 The Future is Naturally Bright_1
Upon returning to Ye Family’s Mansion, the servants reported surprising news - Deputy Minister Liu from the Liu Family had paid a visit and waited for a long time, only leaving shortly before their return.
Upon hearing the news, the smiles on the couple’s faces vanished instantly.
Ye Han scrutinized their expressions with a frown, "Pan’er, if Lord Liu comes again, what do you plan to do? Continue to avoid seeing him?"
After all, the Liu Family was Su Pan’er’s family, and Liu Zikang was her biological father. Avoiding him forever wasn’t an option.
"Brother Ye, it’s not about whether I acknowledge my family or not, but whether I dare to! You don’t know what kind of deeds Lord Liu did after you left Luoyan Village!"
Su Pan’er sighed and related the actions of Liu Zikang.
"Never thought that Liu Zikang could be such a beast! You’ve done right in not acknowledging such a father."
Ye Han’s face grew dark with anger, "From now on, you don’t need to worry. If Liu Zikang dares to harm you, he’ll have to ask whether I, Ye Han, allow it! As for the child, you needn’t worry too much now. After all, you’ve entered the palace, and even Imperial Consort Hua knows you’re pregnant. Even if the Liu Family wanted to plot against you, they would have to be more cautious. Take care of your Pregnancy Health in peace. I want to see what they dare to do against me, Ye Han!"
"Brother Ye, do you think I should recognize my ancestors and return to my clan, apart from Liu Zikang?"
Su Pan’er asked with a frown.
"Whether or not you should isn’t for me to say. However, after all, the Liu family is a noble family. Although Liu Zikang is a fool, I’ve heard that Mrs. Liu is a virtuous and good woman, and the Old Marquis Liu is a decent man in officialdom. A few months ago, the Liu family inadvertently became involved in a case, and Old Marquis Liu was directly removed from his post by His Majesty, leaving only the title of Lord Marquis. Presumably, that’s why the Liu family is so eager."
Su Pan’er didn’t express agreement or disagreement, and finally expressed her own view.
"Regardless of whether I acknowledge them or not, let’s wait and see! I think, it would be best if I could deliver this child before making a decision!"
Considering Liu Zikang had done harm to the child in her belly several times, and still wanted her, Su Pan’er, to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan? She was not the original owner, and she felt no sense of belonging towards the Liu family.
After returning to her room, Su Pan’er was quite tired. She struggled to eat a little food and then went to rest.
Qin Yi was quite happy and couldn’t help but discuss subsequent matters with Ye Han.
Ye Han, who was usually a man of few words, was also delighted with the day’s events and surprisingly said a few more words. Naturally, he also couldn’t help but give some advice to Qin Yi, talking about the situation in Capital City.
"Originally, the Eight Great Aristocratic Families of the capital were all strongly allied which caused quite the headache for His Majesty. It’s also difficult for outsiders to easily get involved. But if my adopted sister really acknowledges her kin, it will greatly benefit your career path of an official."
"But at present, His Majesty is celebrating his seventieth birthday. All feudal lords, officials, and noblewomen have returned to the capital to pay homage. The position of the Crown Prince has been vacant for a long time, and it seems this issue is going to be raised in this session. You must observe caution in your dealings during these crucial times!"
"Now that His Majesty has asked you to follow me on duty, you must start attending the morning court sessions from tomorrow. And remember, never be late..."
As he meticulously instructed him, he covertly calculated the time Qin Yi had spent in the officialdom.
In just a few months, he had risen from the position of the lowest-ranking criminal record officer to the status of a courtier today, which was truly remarkable!
Thinking of Qin Yi’s talent, he thought to himself that as long as Qin Yi stayed committed and diligent in his work, his future would naturally be bright.
The prerequisite, of course, was to not pick the wrong side in the upcoming storm!
Otherwise, he would face total ruin.
Qin Yi listened carefully, asking detailed questions whenever he was unclear about something.
The two of them chatted until late into the night before retiring to their respective rooms.
Su Pan’er was a light sleeper. When Qin Yi returned, she woke up.
Feeling the smell of alcohol from his mouth, she curled her lips, lazily snuggled into his arms, and finally fell asleep peacefully. But it seemed like she hadn’t slept for long before Qin Yi got up again.
She tried to open her eyes and saw that it was still dark outside. She asked in a nasal tone due to sleepiness, "Qin Yi?"
"Did I wake you up? I need to go to court early today. You go back to sleep, Pan’er."
As he spoke, he gently patted her back. Su Pan’er closed her eyes and drifted back into her dreams.
After a while, she woke up involuntarily, shook her dazed head, and froze as she recalled the implications of Qin Yi’s words.
Go to the Court?
She suddenly opened her eyes and felt the place next to her on the bed. It was cold!
"Servant, servant!"
She yelled loudly.
Soon, there was a response from outside the door, "What can I do for you, young lady?"
Because Su Pan’er was Ye Han’s sister by choice, Ye Han had instructed everyone in the residence to address her as ’young lady’.
Su Pan’er was still a bit dazed, "Did you see Qin Yi leave?"
"Young lady, the master left with the Lord."
"They left together?"
"Yes. They said they were going to the court."
"Understood. You can go."
They really did go to court, so it seemed she wasn’t dreaming. Su Pan’er lay back in bed, closed her eyes, and tried to sleep, but she kept tossing and turning.
She barely managed to wait until dawn, then immediately called the servants to help her dress.
"You guys go prepare some hot food. When Brother and Brother-in-law return, we can eat together, so they won’t be starved."
"Yes, young lady."
After the maidservants left, Su Pan’er suddenly felt idle. It was still snowing heavily outside, and a large number of servants were clearing the snow. Some people even had to climb to the roof to remove the snow piled there.
Feeling bored, she gazed vacantly at the whiteness outside. After a while, the gatekeeper came to inform her that a Madame Zhang was at the door asking for a meeting.
Madame Zhang?
Could it be the Madame Zhang she met on the ship, Madame Zhang who was the rightful wife of Lord Zhang from the Tea, Salt and Supplies Comptroller?
Upon this thought, she let the servants invite Madame Zhang in.
Madame Zhang walked in with a face full of smiles, warmly greeting her.
"Younger sister is really good at keeping secrets! Even I was kept in the dark. If I hadn’t heard it from others, I wouldn’t have dared believe that you were declared a Lady of the Fourth Rank by His Majesty himself, and the newly adopted sister of Great General Ye! This is such a coincidence!"
Madame Zhang laughed heartily.
Su Pan’er neither confirmed nor denied it and waved her hand, "Sit down and talk. Actually, there’s nothing to talk about. After all, it isn’t any remarkable event."
"My, my! My younger sister is indeed unique! Other people wouldn’t have such composure!"
Madame Zhang gave a thumbs up and proceeded to lavish praises on Su Pan’er, never hesitating to laud her to the heavens.
"Mrs. Zhang, you flatter me."
Su Pan’er gently stroked her belly with a smile on her face, "I wonder why Mrs. Zhang came to visit today?"
