Chapter 572: Chapter 571 - Every Single Strand of Hair is Also Yours..._1
"Stop kidding, I’m serious!"
Su Pan’er touched her nose, which had turned red from a playful tap, and said seriously, with no hint of jest in her face.
Qin Yi burst into laughter, then planted a kiss on her cheek: "I am all yours, from head to toe, even each strand of my hair belongs to you...does that satisfy you?"
"That’s more like it!"
She planted two kisses on his face: "You spoke well, this is your reward! uh-huh..."
"Good, your husband approves."
He leaned in again, kissing her several times before reluctantly letting her go: "I should be going now."
"Alright...wait, you should finish this bowl of bird’s nest porridge before you leave."
Su Pan’er seemed to remember something, turned around and picked up the bowl of bird’s nest porridge, which had become cold. She held it up to his mouth: "This porridge is now cold and no longer tasty. Could you do me a favor and finish it?"
What an excuse! Admirable!
Qin Yi just smiled without a word, accepted the bird’s nest porridge, and finished it in several gulps. He then handed the empty bowl back to her: "Remember to have the kitchen make another one, okay?"
As he spoke, he gently kissed her hair, akin to the touch of a dragonfly skimming water.
Before Su Pan’er could react, he swiftly left the room, turning his back to depart.
Su Pan’er quickly followed to see Qin Yi hastening out of the courtyard without a backward glance.
Close by his side were Little Xiao Liu and Su Huarong, both hurrying to keep up with him, talking about something as they walked.
Su Pan’er opened her mouth as if to shout to him, but ended up restraining herself, watching the three men fade into the distance without a word.
"Madam, it’s cold outside. You should go back to your room promptly in case you catch a chill," Nanny Gao cautioned, referencing her work in the needlework room back at Changze County.
Only then did Su Pan’er remember she was only wearing a single layer of clothing, inadequate protection against the chill.
She swiftly returned to her room, and upon crossing the threshold, couldn’t help but sneeze twice in quick succession.
"You didn’t catch a cold, did you?"
Nanny Gao entered the room, hesitating as she hung her cloak on the chair back: "Should I tell the kitchen to send up some ginger soup?"
"That would be good."
Su Pan’er nodded.
Nanny Gao hurried out to deliver the order, then turned back to inform Su Pan’er: "Last night, Nanny Zhou gave birth to a boy. Both mother and child are safe and well! I came especially to tell you this good news!"
"Really? This is marvelous news!"
Su Pan’er’s face brightened at the news that the child was born safe and sound. However, another question arose: "Why wasn’t I informed about such a major event? Is she unwell?"
"The birth went smoothly. She woke up this morning thinking she had to use the latrine. As it turns out, the baby came out before she could even step out the door. The baby hit the ground without anyone even being able to catch it. It was surprisingly quick birth," Nanny Gao’s face couldn’t conceal her amusement.
"A quick birth spares much suffering."
Su Pan’er similarly rejoiced, finally feeling relieved: "Go find Uncle Xiao, get some tonic medicinal ingredients to take over to her. Additionally, reward her with ten taels... of silver so she can properly recuperate. You’ve done well coming to deliver the news today. Here’s two taels for your efforts."
After thinking it over, she quickly ordered a few soups, instructing the kitchen to prepare them for Nanny Zhou.
Nanny Gao was thrilled to receive the rewards and knelt to express her thanks. Yet she couldn’t help but feel envious of the hefty reward Nanny Zhou received.
Su Pan’er didn’t notice the undercurrent in Nanny Gao’s thoughts. Her attention was caught by the cloak.
"Where did this come from?"
Nanny Gao snapped back to reality and showed the cloak to Su Pan’er.
"I made this for you recently, Madam. I was unsure of what pattern you would prefer, so I thought I’d bring it first and let you see."
"I’m not certain about the patterns either. However, didn’t the Ye Family send over two nannies from their needlework room? Do ask them what the latest patterns are."
Su Pan’er clearly understood what was on Nanny Gao’s mind.
Aside from the household staff who had come over from our old home, the other group consisted of those who were reassigned here by Ye Han himself.
Ye Han’s intentions were evident.
Those servants from back home deserved praise for their loyalty, but they were unfamiliar with the Capital City and the rules of the big households. They needed guidance.
His transfer of help over to her household was, of course, supposed to provide assistance.
Su Pan’er understood his intent and naturally wouldn’t fuel the arrogance of the staff. Her reasoning was based on this.
Nanny Gao’s smile faltered, but she nodded nonetheless: "Yes, I understand."
"Nanny Gao, you all have followed me for so long, and your loyalty to me is beyond doubt...it’s all seen and appreciated. However, where learning is necessary, you should take it seriously. The numerous rules and customs of the capital will take some getting used to. Now that my husband has ascended to a third-grade counselor, some things and rules have changed. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
Su Pan’er’s words were light, but carried a profound weight.
Nanny Gao’s smile was a bit stiff, but she thanked Su Pan’er profusely and left the room.
Su Pan’er shook her head. She generally turned a blind eye to the minor conflicts among the servants. However, it was all dependent on their loyalty to her. If anyone dared to question her authority, she wouldn’t hesitate to make an example of them.
Miaoyu and Qingwen, who were standing outside, naturally heard all of this and became even more conscientious in their service to Su Pan’er.
The next day Nanny Gao returned.
She brought a variety of patterns: "These are what the two sisters taught me, and these, she quickly pulled out another pile, "were given to me by Xiyue. Have a look, Madam, which do you prefer?"
Night Tide Moon?
Su Pan’er suddenly remembered that she had been rather absentminded when it came to Xiyue and it seemed like it had been some time since she last thought about her.
"Choose from these."
She pointed out a few patterns she liked and asked nonchalantly, "What has Xiyue been busy with recently?"
"She seems to be busy sewing clothes. I guess they should be for young Master Suke."
The ’young Master’ that Nanny Gao referred to was, of course, referring to Su Ke.
"Hmm, good."
Su Pan’er nodded.
That evening, she had Qingwen call Night Tide Moon to her.
Night Tide Moon stood there obediently, no longer displaying the flippant attitude she had during their initial meeting.
It was just like they said about skinny horses. Night Tide Moon had such a beautiful face, even Su Pan’er, a woman, couldn’t pick out a single flaw.
Let alone men!
"I remember you saying that your father was wronged. Now that we’re back in the capital, why haven’t you said anything?"
Her words betrayed a slight chill.
