Chapter 585: Chapter 578 Embarrassing or not?_1
Su Pan’er squinted at her and remained silent.
"Madam, please! Except for you, Xiyue has no one else she can rely on! Xiyue has no other desires, only seeking a place to shelter from the wind and rain, enabling her to live by stealth. She only hopes that in the future... when the time comes, Madam may lend a hand."
"You should know, the chance to lend a hand is too distant, I won’t promise you, nor dare to promise. What’s the point in doing this?"
"If... if by then the case cannot be reversed, Xiyue, Xiyue will consider it her fate. She will absolutely hold no resentment towards Madam!"
Feng Xiyue gritted her teeth and gave her assurance.
"Hehe... You are a woman after all, you have to get married."
Su Pan’er shook her head lightly, bringing up a cup of cow’s milk to her lips. This milk was brought by Uncle Xiao a couple of days ago. She had only casually mentioned it in front of Uncle Xiao. Unexpectedly, Uncle Xiao was attentive and quickly found a milking cow with a calf.
"No, no way! Xiyue has sworn to remain unmarried for life!"
Feng Xiyue crawled forward a couple of steps, coming to Su Pan’er’s feet and tugging lightly at her pant leg: "Madam, Madam please..."
Su Pan’er cast her a sidelong glance, then shifted her gaze to Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu clenched her teeth, and also knelt before Su Pan’er.
"Madam, last time Feng Jiu unwittingly offended you. If Madam can truly take us in, she will be the guidance Feng Jiu follows in life!"
"Fine!"
Only then did Su Pan’er put down her tea cup. It was Feng Jiu’s statement she wanted.
"I’m not sure who holds Feng Jiu’s indenture, but it doesn’t matter, he’s young, and when he grows up his looks should change. As for Xiyue’s indenture, I’ll get it back for you and store it safely."
The siblings hesitated for a moment, then expressions of joy spread across their faces. Together they thanked her, "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"
"Do not speak such polite words. We both know the real reasons, go on now."
The siblings thanked her again before leaving.
Uncle Xiao watched Su Pan’er from the side, seeming to want to say something, but stopping.
"Uncle Xiao, did you have something to say?"
"Madam, it’s not suitable for those two to stick around. If they were discovered by someone with ulterior motives..."
"Hm, I know about this matter too."
Su Pan’er said casually, "But, as long as we have their indentures, it doesn’t matter if anyone wants to make a fuss. If someone with an ulterior motive wants to bring it before His Majesty, one more or half more crime to account for won’t make much difference."
If there’s a will, there’s a way! Any groundless crime is enough.
Uncle Xiao’s eyebrows and eyes lowered for a moment, and he quickly took a bow, "Madam sees everything more clearly, thank you for your guidance."
"Uncle Xiao, you don’t need to speak empty courtesies, get me a carriage, we’re going to the Liu Family’s Mansion!"
Su Pan’er sighed!
Irony is often a person’s fate, with all attempts to avoid it ultimately futile in the face of destiny’s arrangements.
She had repeatedly tried to avoid the Liu Family, and yet now, she was going to visit them in person, even if her intentions were different.
Old Marquis Liu happened to be home, opening the main door to welcome in Su Pan’er.
"It’s rare for Jie’er to visit. Grandfather had already asked the kitchen to prepare some delicacies. We’re celebrating our family reunion today, a cause for joy. Oh, your stomach looks huge, are you about to give birth?"
"Old Marquis, there’s no need for such courtesies, Pan’er has come here today seeking your help with an affair, I only hope that Old Marquis won’t decline."
Su Pan’er wore a light blue dress, a swaying long robe draped over her shoulders, cleverly concealing her stomach. At a glance, you couldn’t even tell she was pregnant.
"Oh, Jie’er actually needed something from His Lordship?"
Old Marquis Liu was quite surprised!
"What is it you needed advice on? Whatever you need, feel free to ask, His Lordship will do his utmost."
"Actually, my visit today is to ask the Lord Secrets for a person. Or rather, an indenture!"
As Liu Zikang held the position of Lord Secrets, Su Pan’er spoke thus.
"Indenture?"
Old Marquis Liu pondered for a moment before leaning in: "No problem, it’s just a servant after all. Tell me who you want."
Su Pan’er suddenly laughed: "Can Old Marquis really act as proxy for the Lord Secrets?"
A few days ago, the incident of Old Marquis Liu angrily punishing his unfilial son Liu Zikang outside the mansion door had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. Because of this, recently Old Marquis Liu had been staying home to avoid embarrassment, refusing to step outside the mansion.
Now that Su Pan’er mentioned it, Old Marquis Liu’s expression subtly changed, squinting his eyes and looking at her for a while.
After a moment, he ordered a servant to fetch Liu Zikang.
Unfortunately, the servant who went to fetch Liu Zikang took a long time before returning alone.
"Where’s the person? Didn’t I ask you to call Liu Zikang for me? How come I see no one? Ah, what are you good for?"
"Master, young master’s mischief... Master you’re not unaware of it. It’s not something us servants can help."
The servant muttered under his breath.
Frustratingly enough, no one could blame him for this. Liu Zikang had already smashed through a window and escaped, not returning for days. Where on earth was he supposed to find him?
"Are you still defending yourself?"
Old Marquis Liu was clearly venting his anger: "Servants, take that servant to me, gag him, and beat him ten times. Let’s see if he dares to do this again!"
Once the servant was taken away, Old Marquis Liu turned back to Su Pan’er with a smile, "Jie’er, you were not scared, were you?"
So it’s an act to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys?
Unfortunately, that man was not a chicken, and she, Su Pan’er, was no monkey.
"Old Marquis is enforcing the family law, it was bound to happen. Pan’er wouldn’t dare have any other thoughts."
Su Pan’er took the opportunity to stand up and arrange her long robe, "Since the Lord Secrets is not at home, I’ll come back another day. But, please, tell the Lord Secrets to remember, I will definitely be back in the future, hope he does not forget."
"Of course, of course."
Old Marquis Liu tried to persuade her to stay for a while, but seeing Su Pan’er determined to leave, he had no choice but to give up.
He personally saw her out of the mansion, all the way to the mansion gate. He watched Su Pan’er get safely on the carriage, then finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as soon as he turned around, he burst into a rage!
"Come out! The person is already gone, why are you still creeping around there? As the majestic Lord Secrets, always doing mischief sneaking around the nursery garden, is it not disgraceful? Leave and come to the study, I have something to tell you."
After he finished, Old Marquis Liu didn’t even bother to look back, he turned around angrily and headed straight for the study.
Uh! I’m going to get nagged at again!
Liu Zikang pulled a face and quickly responded. With his head drooping, staying silent, he dragged his feet and followed behind Old Marquis Liu.
Even though he, too, was the prestigious Lord Secrets, his father was the Old Marquis, if his father called him, even with ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to resist!
