Chapter 621: Chapter 604: What Exactly Does It Mean?_1

"Oh! What happened to Yan Yan? Why is she crying? It’s mother’s fault, mother shouldn’t have teased our little Yan Yan... there, there... Yan Yan be good..."

As she walked, she gently patted Yan Yan’s back.

But the little Yan Yan cried harder and harder, regardless of how Su Pan’er tried to soothe her.

"Madam, could the young lady have peed?"

Nanny Zhou quickly proposed a possibility.

"I don’t think so? Didn’t I just change her diaper? It’s been less than the time it takes to burn two sticks of incense."

As Su Pan’er spoke, she still sat down according to Nanny Zhou’s words, undid the wrap, and checked, instantly bursting into laughter!

"You little rascal, you didn’t just pee, but you pooped. Weren’t you comfortable? No wonder you were crying so pitifully."

As Su Pan’er spoke, she proceeded to help little Yan Yan wipe.

Nanny Zhou quickly stepped forward to take over: "Madam, let your servant handle this. Your servant will take good care of the young lady. Besides, we don’t have any new diapers here."

"It’s alright, it’s just a bit of poop. I can handle it. Besides, it’s already undone, shall we put it back to make the journey to the cottage with the dirty diaper? It’s quite a long distance from here to the cottage, and it’s cold out. We mustn’t let the child catch a chill."

After all, it was her daughter. How could Su Pan’er be repulsed by her smell?

She carefully cleaned Yan Yan, rinsed her with warm water, and then changed into a new, clean diaper before wrapping her up again.

Perhaps knowing that it was her mother changing her diaper, Yan Yan calmed down. Whether Su Pan’er lifted her little hand or foot, Yan Yan remained quiet. Only when she was completely bundled up, she yawned and began to rub her mouth back and forth.

"The young lady must be hungry, madam."

Unfortunately, Su Pan’er had no milk. Despite being reluctant, she could only hand over little Yan Yan to Nanny Zhou.

"Let’s feed her back at the cottage. Once she’s had milk, she’ll sleep for a long time. We don’t want to keep going back and forth. It would be bad if she catches a cold."

"Yes, madam."

Nanny Zhou then picked up the child, paid her respects to Su Pan’er, and left.

Several maidservants quickly stepped forward to tidy up the house.

Having talked for so long, Su Pan’er felt sleepy. Seeing that the maidservants had tidied up the chaise lounge, she randomly made herself comfortable on it.

She then heard Nanny Zhou’s voice from the main gate.

"Your servant pays her respects to Lord Marquis."

Very soon the sound of Qin Yi playing with little Yan Yan followed, and shortly after, Yan Yan’s crying could be heard again: "Is Yan Yan tired?"

"She’s hungry, probably tired too, and wants to sleep." Nanny Zhou replied.

"Then hurry up and take her downstairs. We can’t let her go hungry."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

With Nanny Zhou’s response, Qin Yi walked swiftly into the room.

"Yan Yan seems to have grown a little recently. But she’s been crying a lot. Is she uncomfortable?"

"Babies cry when they’re hungry, cold or uncomfortable. Crying is normal, not only can it exercise their lung capacity, but it also helps them grow taller and stronger. It’s alright." Su Pan’er casually replied as she got up to help him take off his cloak.

"No, don’t. This cloak is damp."

But Qin Yi stopped her, he took it off casually, handed it to Qingwen who was beside him, and looked at Su Pan’er for a moment: "What do you mean by lung capacity? Huh, you went out today?"

"How do you know I went out?"

It was weird, it seemed like she didn’t leave any traces, did she?

Su Pan’er dodged Qin Yi’s question, lowered her head to examine herself, but found no difference compared to usual.

"You’ve actually slipped on these gold and jade hairpins on your head, don’t you hate these things when you’re at home?" Qin Yi pointed to the jewelry on her head.

Right!

She had actually forgotten to remove the decorations from her head!

Su Pan’er laughed and casually took the ornaments off her head, then casually dismissed the maidservants around her: "Xue’er sent an invitation, inviting me to her house for a chat. She sounded urgent, so I hurried over..."

She recounted the events, emphasizing the peculiarities of Imperial Consort Hua asking her to prepare medicine and of Xue’er.

"For that medicine, I didn’t agree to prepare it. This matter appears to be secretive, but once something goes wrong, we will definitely be involved. And, my learning medicine is for strengthening my own body, not for harming others. So..."

"If you don’t agree, then don’t agree. No matter what, Imperial Consort Hua is your aunt, and family ties cannot be broken. At least for the moment, she won’t do anything to us, and Fei’er still needs our help."

Qin Yi’s tone was indifferent, but an iciness flashed in his eyes!

Alertness rose in his mind, what was Imperial Consort Hua’s intention for doing this?

"Yes, I also considered this. I gritted my teeth and endured it."

Su Pan’er commented, then changed the subject: "My first cousin brother visited us earlier, he also brought a piece of news..."

Compared to the matter of Imperial Consort Hua, Su Pan’er felt that the news brought by Su Huarong was more important. This matter was complex, with them in the light and the opponent in the dark. Whether it was targeted at them intentionally, or unintentionally done, the matter truly needed further discussion.

This indeed made Qin Yi frown.

"Three days ago, His Majesty summoned me into the palace. The reason was to investigate someone using the sale of tea leaves as a cover to secretly transport weapons. Some even dared to use the sale of tea to sell weapons to enemy countries. His Majesty was furious when he learned of this. He has already ordered an investigation. Could it be, the people you encountered are also harboring the same intentions?"

"This...can’t be, can it?"

Su Pan’er’s words lacked any certainty. Her heart was pounding!

If this was indeed the case, then they surely couldn’t associate with these people lest they wouldn’t even know how they died!

"No, I think, perhaps they’re learning from Mr. Jiang’s fishing—waiting for someone to take the bait!"

Qin Yi analyzed: "Just as you said, they specifically target individual private dealers to make purchases, perhaps to avoid leaving traces. This also implies that the people who are doing this may be aware of the people in the Salt and Tea Department and are intentionally avoiding them!"

Yes, it could be exactly like this!

What the other party is doing, they might not be genuinely selling salt. It’s highly possible that they are casting a wide net, with the world as the chessboard, playing a big game of chess!

And they, unknowingly, have become the other party’s chess pieces!

However, in the end, who exactly is the chess piece on the chessboard, that still requires further discussion!

Qin Yi stood up, paced a few laps around the house, then turned to pick up his cloak: "This matter could be big or small, and can’t just be ignored. I’m going to the palace, I don’t know when I’ll be back, you don’t have to wait for me to have dinner."

Having said that, he draped the cloak over his shoulders again.

Su Pan’er was reluctant for Qin Yi to leave but still nodded slightly: "I understand. Oh yes, when I went to the Jun Family’s Mansion today, Xue’er was hesitant to speak, I don’t know what actually happened. Plus, I offended Imperial Consort today, you need to be careful when you enter the palace, don’t get caught in the crossfire."
