Chapter 573: Chapter 572: Indeed, As the Lady Predicted! _1

Night Tide Moon raised her head to look at Su Pan’er, then quickly lowered it again.

"Answering Madam, it is not that Xiyue doesn’t wish to speak, but rather...the people who falsely accused my father are very powerful. Xiyue...Xiyue doesn’t want to cause trouble for Madam and Sir..."

As she spoke, she bowed towards Su Pan’er. "At this point, my only wish is to find my younger brother, rear him to adulthood, help him marry and have a child, so that my Yea family lineage can be continued. Xiyue has no other desires."

So that’s how it is, Su Pan’er pondered for a moment.

"What is the name of your younger brother? How old is he this year? How tall is he? Are there any notable features?"

"Some days earlier, Xiyue had personally drawn a picture of my younger brother. Based on my estimation, he might have grown a lot taller since then."

Night Tide Moon hesitated for a moment before taking out a sketch from her bosom.

Su Pan’er casually took the portrait and said, "I’ll arrange for someone to search for him. You need not be anxious. I heard that your embroidery skills are impressive? Coincidentally, our newly established mansion urgently requires a batch of fabric pouches as gifts. We are short of hands in this area, so I’ll delegate this task to you."

Typically, the demand for fabric pouches for rewards is the largest and simplest. There is no need for intricate embroidery on them. What makes it challenging is the massive quantity required.

Night Tide Moon did not hesitate and kneeled to respond, "Yes, Madam."

"Hmm, do your job properly."

Speaking casually, Su Pan’er unfolded the portrait in her hand for a casual look. Her gaze instantly froze on the portrait, unable to look away.

The portrait depicted a young boy playing ancient football, smiling cheerfully.

The thing that caught her attention was the boy in the sketch. That face...

"Madam, Madam, are you...,"

Night Tide Moon called out cautiously.

Su Pan’er blinked her eyes, slowly turned away her gaze and rolled up the sketch.

"Nothing. By the way, do you know where your brother is being held captive? Do you know the specific location?"

A glimmer in Night Tide Moon’s eyes disappeared, "I don’t know, but I heard that he’s likely detained in a secret place where no one is allowed to visit."

"I see, you may leave."

Su Pan’er waved her hand, asking her to exit. After seeing her silhouette disappear beyond the door, she unfolded the sketch again and murmured to herself, "Is it really him?"

She pondered for a moment before instructing,

"Miaoyu! Summon the housekeeper."

The housekeeper she was referring to was Uncle Xiao.

After following Qin Yi, Uncle Xiao had continued as the housekeeper. When they moved here, he naturally became the housekeeper of Qin Family’s Mansion.

Not long passed before Uncle Xiao came rushing in.

"Madam, how may I assist you?"

"Uncle Xiao, you should be aware there’s a child named Little Feng residing in the outer courtyard?"

Su Pan’er asked.

"I am aware of him. The child is very quiet, hardly venturing outside and rarely seen by others. Madam, why have you suddenly asked about him? Did he cause any trouble?"

"Not that he has caused any trouble. There is something I need you to do. You just need to do as such... Do you understand?"

"I understand, I will go and deal with it immediately."

Despite being curious about Su Pan’er’s instructions, Uncle Xiao complied and executed her commands faithfully.

The next day, Uncle Xiao delivered an update.

"Madam, just as you suspected. They do know each other!"

Uncle Xiao’s expression was a bit odd: "I did as you instructed and brought Little Feng to the needlework room, under the pretext of helping him with measurements for clothes. No one was there initially, so I loitered around for a while before taking Little Feng to leave. As we were exiting, Little Feng and Miss Ye inadvertently bumped into each other."

"And then?"

Su Pan’er asked eagerly.

"Miss Ye was immediately startled! Little Feng seemed to have no reaction, however, I did notice Little Feng’s lips moved ever so slightly."

Uncle Xiao’s face held a slight smile:"Neither said anything, and both went their separate ways. I sensed that there must be a unusual relationship between the two, so I observed them closely. Sure enough, last night, Little Feng scaled the wall and entered the inner courtyard. He went straight to the residence where Miss Ye was staying and met with her. Seizing this opportunity, I apprehended both of them."

"Mmm, Uncle Xiao, you did very well this time."

Su Pan’er couldn’t help complimenting him.

"All due to your excellent guidance, Madam," Uncle Xiao humbly declined to take credit.

Su Pan’er gently shook her head. She had only casually issued a few commands, but Uncle Xiao managed to grasp her intentions from her small hints, implementing them immediately. No wonder Qin Yi held such trust in him.

"Escort them in."

"Yes, Madam."

Uncle Xiao responded and left to carry out her orders. In a short time, Night Tide Moon and Little Feng were brought in.

Both were in disheveled clothing. It was evident that they had struggled initially. Even now, even though their hands were tied, and mouths gagged, they still struggled ceaselessly.

"It seems you both are in sync. You both truly are siblings!"

Su Pan’er didn’t raise her eyes, and spoke calmly, her gaze casually examining a string of washed grapes on the tea table.

This grape was harvested during autumn, properly stored and placed in an underground ice cellar for preservation.

The wealthy families in Capital City usually collect ice from the frozen canal during winter and store them in an ice cellar, before digging it out for use in the summer. It was a common practice for nearly all households to store ice blocks. The same practice was followed in the imperial court with people specifically employed for ice harvesting, generally commencing from the lunar December 8th.

However, this stored ice was generally not used for consumption in both palace and civilian households. Their primary use was indoor cooling and chilling food.

These grapes were thus preserved.

Essentially, it was similar to a modern refrigerator. However, Su Pan’er was nevertheless surprised when she saw the grapes that Jun Ruoxue sent over.

At that time, in order to return the favor, she prepared a decoction for the young Mrs. Jun to enhance her health.

Although she had only met briefly with young Mrs. Jun a few times, she immediately saw that Mrs. Jun had a frail physique, likely affecting her ability to conceive.

Seeing Su Pan’er’s indifferent demeanor, Night Tide Moon’s eyes darkened, and Little Feng’s struggling intensified.

"Uncle Xiao, remove the gag from Little Feng."

Su Pan’er instructed casually, slowly peeling a grape and tasting it.

Uncle Xiao followed her instruction and removed Little Feng’s gag.

Once freed, Little Feng immediately transformed into a little tiger, and began swinging his little fists mightily.

"It was you! You wicked woman! I thought you were a good person, but you were the one who caused the death of my parents! You’ve caught me today, I accept my defeat. Just kill me!"

"Me? Responsible for the death of your parents?"

Su Pan’er paused her grape eating and her clear eyes met the surprised eyes of Night Tide Moon!
