Chapter 619: Chapter 602: Madam, let your servant massage for you_1

The atmosphere tensed up once again.

Imperial Consort Hua leisurely picked up the hot tea, blew it gently, took a shallow sip, but didn’t say a word.

Su Pan’er remained kneeling by her side, not moving, not speaking.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before footsteps could be heard by the entrance; Young Mrs. Jun and Jun Ruoxue had returned.

The moment Young Mrs. Jun stepped through the door, she naturally scanned the faces of the two people in the room. She lowered her eyelids as though she hadn’t noticed anything, her expression still cold, which mirrored her own personality.

"Imperial Consort Hua is indeed fortunate. I have spent a long time looking and found two jars of ancient wine that has been preserved for hundreds of years in the wine cellar. It seems that it was a reward given to our ancestor by the former Emperor. It was treasured in a corner of the wine cellar. Over time, we forgot that there were two jars of wine in the cellar. I unexpectedly discovered them today. I brought them here especially for you, Your Highness, to taste."

With that, she ordered her servant to bring the jars of wine.

Upon hearing about the wine, no matter what Imperial Consort Hua initially wanted to say, she was silenced by these remarks.

"The royal wine that the former Emperor personally gifted to the Jun Family’s ancestor must be exceptional. However, I have urgent matters to attend to back at the palace. Let’s save this wine for the next opportunity."

With that, Imperial Consort Hua rose.

Before leaving, she turned to Jun Ruoxue and gave her a few instructions. Then, she left directly, without looking back.

Young Mrs. Jun and Jun Ruoxue hurriedly escorted her out.

Su Pan’er remained kneeling on the floor. It was only when she heard the footsteps fading away that she collapsed on the ground.

She understood that Imperial Consort Hua was simply trying to put pressure on her.

However, this matter was of great significance, and she really couldn’t agree to it. She could only swallow the bitter pill in silence.

Miaoyu and Qingwen quickly ran in from outside. Both of their faces were filled with panic.

"Madam, why are you kneeling on the ground? Could it be..."

"It’s nothing. I just displeased Imperial Consort Hua. Help me up!"

With the help of the two maidservants, she slowly got up, sat back on the chair next to her, casually massaging her knees, and sneered in her heart. These damnable rules always had people kneeling and kowtowing at a whim, it was truly exhausting!

"Madam, allow me to massage you."

Miaoyu urgently took over: "Your health was already not good. You just finished your confinement period and now you have kneeled for such a long time, it is really..."

"It’s nothing, I just kneeled for a bit."

While Su Pan’er responded, she pondered whether she should tell Qin Yi about this.

Jun Ruoxue and her mother returned after a short while, both looking dispirited and casting shameful glances at Su Pan’er.

"Sister Pan’er, I’m really sorry for today. You just recovered from a serious illness, and I didn’t want to bother you, but I was helpless."

Su Pan’er shook her head: "I understand you had no choice. But, why did Imperial Consort Hua leave the palace today?"

At these words, both Jun Ruoxue and her mother seemed evasive: "We are not sure about this matter. However, as soon as Her Highness came over, she asked me to invite you. Could it be that she had something to discuss with you?"

Su Pan’er had been kneeling on the floor the entire time and hadn’t gotten up.

Although they were unclear what had happened, it certainly couldn’t have been anything good.

"It was nothing, just some casual conversation."

Su Pan’er made it sound trivial and did not want to dwell on it.

Which was exactly what Jun Ruoxue and her mother had hoped for.

Although Jun Ruoxue still looked upset, Young Mrs. Jun was quicker to recover.

The three of them chatted for a while longer, but seeing that everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, Su Pan’er made the excuse that she was worried about Little Yanyan at home and took her leave.

Jun Ruoxue made a token effort to keep her there, but after Su Pan’er refused, she asked Zi Lan to fetch a small parcel and handed it to Su Pan’er.

"This was originally meant for Little Yanyan’s Full Moon Banquet, it’s a small quilt I made especially for Little Yanyan. Please don’t resent it!"

"What are you talking about!"

Su Pan’er accepted it and looked at her: "We are sisters, where is this resentment coming from? Alright, I need to go. When the situation calms down, I will surely come and visit again."

The statement made both women laugh!

"I would love it if you stayed here every day."

Finally, a smile broke out on Jun Ruoxue’s face.

"That would be good."

Su Pan’er joked around a bit more before she got back into her carriage and headed home.

However, the image of Jun Ruoxue’s face, full of concerns and unsaid words, kept appearing before Su Pan’er’s eyes.

Thinking carefully, ever since they last met at Mrs. Zhang’s Mansion, smiles had rarely visited her face. Whenever they did, the melancholy between her eyebrows lingered, unable to be dispersed.

This made Su Pan’er sigh deeply. Time does encourage maturity indeed! The once innocent and cheerful girl was now forced to be sentimental.

When she returned to the mansion, she surprisingly found Su Huarong waiting there.

"First cousin brother, you’re waiting for me here? Could it be that you have something to tell me?"

At this point, Su Huarong was assisting Su Pan’er in managing her numerous shops. He was as busy as a spinning top, and yet he had patiently waited here. Presumably, something must have happened.

Su Pan’er didn’t pay much mind, as long as her child was growing healthily, that was all that mattered to her.

"There are some matters I would like to discuss with Fourth Younger Sister."

Su Huarong mentioned, sitting opposite her and consulted on a few business-related issues. At last, he casually asked a question.

"By the way, there is a rumor spreading around Shengjing, did you hear about it, Fourth Younger Sister?"

Su Pan’er shook her head: "I’ve been resting at the mansion recovering from my illness recently, and haven’t left until today when I visited the Jun Family’s Mansion. So, what rumors are spreading in the market?"

"It’s nothing serious."

Su paused before finally speaking: "I’ve heard that a lot of offspring of aristocratic families have gotten engaged recently. I wonder if this is true."

"Oh, Qin Yi did mention something about that."

There had been a surge in marriage alliances recently which Qin Yi had occasionally mentioned to her, though he hadn’t specified which families were involved.

But why was Su Huarong bringing it up?

A thought flashed through Su Pan’er’s mind: "By any chance, does first cousin brother want to find a wife?"

"Your mind works really fast. How can I compare with those gentlemen from aristocratic families? Furthermore, marriages are supposed to be arranged by the parents’ decree and the matchmaker’s words. With no elders around, we can’t just organize a marriage on the fly."

It was surprising how seriously Su was analyzing this.
