Chapter 551: Chapter 550: Is this old woman here to cause trouble?_1
Little Feng had been hovering around Su Pan’er incessantly these days, particularly this morning, appearing directly in front of her, several times attempting to say something but stopping himself.
Su Pan’er pretended as if she didn’t notice, regardless of how much presence the other party displayed, she simply refused to ask.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Little Feng finally couldn’t sit still anymore!
"Mistress, you... take me with you!"
"Take you with me?"
Su Pan’er looked him up and down, let out a cold chuckle and retorted, "Why should I take you? What’s in it for me if I do?"
Indeed! There was not a shred of benefit in taking him along the entire journey. Why would she need to bring him along?
Little Feng was momentarily stunned.
Seeing that Su Pan’er was about to turn around and leave, Little Feng desperately kneeled down and said, "Mistress, please take me with you! I want to find my sister. I promise, regardless of the outcome of this trip, I will leave Ye Family’s Mansion tomorrow. You have my word."
With that, he knocked his head several times on the ground.
However, these words made Su Pan’er roll her eyes, "Do you think, whether it’s my brother-in-law’s Ye Family mansion or me, Su Pan’er, we can’t afford to keep someone as idle as you? Why should I want you to leave? Are you genuinely clueless about the reason or are you pretending?"
At those words, Little Feng immediately lowered his head.
Seeing him still unwilling to speak his mind at this moment, Su Pan’er was extremely disappointed!
"Since you can’t figure it out, leave my sight and get the hell out of this mansion today! Don’t vex my eyes! Go!"
Saying so, she waved her hand, and the carriage slowly started moving!
Little Feng didn’t give up and chased the carriage all the way, but no matter how he tried, how could two legs compete against the four legs of a beast?
Panting and out of breath, he still couldn’t catch up. He could only watch the carriage disappear from his sight, leaving behind two distinct ruts in the snow, mocking his ignorance.
He could only turn around and trudge step by step back to Ye Family’s mansion.
The flower appreciation banquet held today was taken place in Zhang Family’s Hundred Flowers Garden.
In the garden, the winter plum trees were in full bloom amidst the cold wind, filling the air with their scent. In the greenhouse, varieties of flowers vied in beauty, exceptionally charming.
A covered corridor, carved entirely from white jade, bifurcated the blooming plums into two halves, forming an unique flavor in the garden path.
Along the covered corridor on either side, tables were arranged, laden with refreshments, for the guests to enjoy while appreciating the flowers.
If one felt too cold outside, they could take refuge in the warmth of the greenhouses filled with blooming flowers on the side of the long corridor. Clearly, the host had put a lot of thought into this flower appreciation event.
When Su Pan’er, dressed in a light green dress, appeared outside the Zhang Family’s mansion, it was already brightly lit and filled with a festive atmosphere.
Mrs. Zhang was already waiting at the main entrance. Seeing Su Pan’er arrive, she hurriedly walked up to her and personally helped her off.
All smiles, she said, "Mrs. Qin, you have arrived. I was just talking to my husband, worried that the snow might be too heavy, and considering whether to send a palanquin to pick you up. Thankfully, you’re here."
"When Mrs. Zhang invited, naturally I had to come."
Su Pan’er responded with a light smile.
"Rest assured, it won’t be a wasted journey."
Mrs. Zhang expressed cryptically, gently patting Su Pan’er’s hand and nodding ahead, "Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Shen, both who are your acquaintances, have already arrived. They are in the Hundred Flowers Garden inside, where the flowers are in full bloom. Let’s go there and take a look, shall we?"
Su Pan’er’s eyes sparkled, and she pretends to be gladly agreed!
"In that case, I will be obliged if you guide the way."
"Not at all, not at all, I welcome the opportunity!"
With that, Mrs. Zhang led Su Pan’er into the Hundred Flowers Garden.
"Today, I originally only sent a few invitations, but surprisingly, word about this flower appreciation banquet got out, and many invitations were demanded. Not only that, quite a few male guests also came. Reluctantly, I had to separate the venue for appreciating flowers. I hope that these young ladies will all be safe today; if they accidentally offend those prestigious guests, I’m afraid..."
Mrs. Zhang seemed quite worried.
"Hmm? What do you mean by that, sister?" Su Pan’er squinted her eyes.
Speaking of the matter, there was an obvious look of embarrassment and flattery on Mrs. Zhang’s face. She took a glance at Su Pan’er and hesitated, "It’s just that, Old Mrs. Liu and Young Mrs. Liu from the Liu family have also come..."
Old Mrs. Liu?
A cold mockery flashed in Su Pan’er’s eyes.
Recently, too many big things have happened in the capital. But no matter how many, none can overshadow the farce that is almost being staged every day in front of the Great General Ye’s Mansion.
At the beginning, Young Mrs. Liu came knocking almost every day.
Su Pan’er always had a stern face, but she let her in every time and treated her kindly.
Unexpectedly, this person seized the opportunity and tended to her advantage. One day, she suddenly brought an old woman to the house.
This old lady was no ordinary person, she was Su Pan’er’s biological grandmother, the wife of Lord Marquis of the Liu Family.
The old lady, upon seeing Su Pan’er, revealed a full face of kindness, yet her eyes radiated an extreme coldness.
"Child, are you the lost child who was stranded among the commoners, my dear granddaughter? It must have been so hard for you these years, I suppose you suffered quite a lot in that countryside place in Yongze County?"
"Thank you, Old Mrs. Liu, for your concern. I had a good time in Yongze County. The parents who adopted me treated me as if I were their own."
Su Pan’er responded in a nonchalant manner.
She glanced at Young Mrs. Liu, who was standing behind the old lady like a wooden stump, and then she drops her gaze again.
"You child, why are you still calling yourself Pan’er at this point?"
The attitude of the Lady Marquis was noticeably challenging, gave a meaningful reminder.
"Those country folks were fortunate enough to take care of my Liu family’s granddaughter, it’s their luck. If I reward them with several hundred taels of silver as a show of gratitude, that would be enough. However, after all, they are country folks, and you should be careful about having dealings with them from now on, considering you are my Liu family’s granddaughter!"
Huh?
Is this old lady here to cause trouble?
At the moment she has not yet accepted the family invitation, and she is being asked to be careful about where she goes? Is there something wrong with being with country folks?
Su Pan’er gave a faint smile, the mirth not reaching her eyes,"The Su family has shown great kindness in raising me, a favor I shall never forget in my life. To me, they are my birth parents. If being a country folk is considered lowly, I Su Pan’er grew up in the countryside, nourished by the food of the countryside; hence, I am nothing more than a country girl."
The face of the Lady Marquis suddenly turned cold, then immediately put on a smiling face again.
"You silly child, your bloodline is the bloodline of our Liu family, and the Liu family has been the noble family of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years. How can you call yourself a country folk? Stop talking nonsense! Besides, the Liu family has never asked you to break off relations with your adoptive parents of the Su family. We just ask you to minimise contact as much as possible."
