In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 744: Chapter 743: Slander_1

The changes of the current Mrs. Zhang and Su Pan’er since their first meeting are indeed vast.

Not only did she give up on her threatening appearance, but also warmly held Su Pan’er’s hand and started to chat as soon as she saw her. She looked at Little Yanyan with trepidation for a while and conveniently took off her jade bracelet from her wrist to give it to her as a meeting gift.

The staircase was terribly long. After they had climbed about a third of it, Mrs. Zhang and her entourage could ascend no further. The maids and old women were dripping with sweat and their legs were trembling.

Seeing this, Su Pan’er, in a rare cheerful mood, suggested resting in a nearby pavilion. Mrs. Zhang held Su Pan’er’s hand and sat down.

"Younger sister Pan’er, telling you as your sister, I think of you as my real sister and don’t wish to hide anything from you. My husband told me that there seems to be some restless people in court who are picking on Lord Qin, do you know about this?"

Lord Zhang used to be an official managing the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Salt and Tea Department. He strongly supported the Eighth Prince back then, and now when the Eighth Prince has successfully become His Majesty, he naturally rose with the tide. Not only was he still the actual controller of the Salt and Tea Department, but he was also granted additional nobility without replacement. This made Lord Zhang naturally cling to the big tree Ye Han and naturally became close to Qin Yi.

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

Su Pan’er asked casually.

In the court, the situation changes unpredictably. Today the west wind outperforms the east wind, and tomorrow it may be reversed. Pan’er seemed to be indifferent to it.

Mrs. Zhang was somewhat anxious and sweating: "It is said that Lord Qin was slandered for forgetting his duties because of his personal affairs when he captured the enemy’s general. He even let go of the enemy’s aides for personal gain. This is a well-founded rumor and some veterans are secretly planning to file a joint petition after the winter solstice. They plan to report the misconduct to His Majesty! I wanted to visit you about this yesterday, but you were not at home..."

This conversation almost made Su Pan’er spit out her tea.

"How did you get this news? Is it true?"

Yesterday they went to Su Huarong’s house. When she came back, she heard from the servants that Mrs. Zhang had visited her. Su Pan’er thought that Mrs. Zhang came to see her about going to Da Ci’en Temple. Coupled with her bad mood, she naturally didn’t care about it.

"Of course, it’s true. Otherwise, do you think I’d joke about this?"

Mrs. Zhang had a serious look on her face: "I got the news late, too. But I couldn’t find younger Sister Pan’er yesterday. Now these people are probably about to jointly submit their petition. Pan’er, you look upset; don’t tell me you already knew this? If so, it would be a good idea for us to relax and have some fun instead of keeping it in."

It turned out that Mrs. Zhang had misinterpreted things.

Su Pan’er managed to force a smile, but didn’t say anything.

She couldn’t help but worry about Qin Yi’s morning court session, but then she remembered the harsh words of Qin Yi yesterday. He had forced her to be tough!

Even if she was worried, it would be of no help. It’s better this way! She can have a good few days at the monastery before going back!

After making up her mind, Su Pan’er put the matter aside, and instead started to enjoy the trip.

The group of people rested enough and continued to climb slowly upwards. Along the way, they encountered hawkers selling their wares, and they bought some trinkets and snacks. They were enjoying themselves while climbing upwards.

When they had climbed to the front of the grand hall with great difficulty, all of them were tired and disheveled.

Instead, Su Pan’er, who had been climbing the mountain with her daughter, was still calm and composed. This caused Mrs. Zhang, who was supporting her waist, to marvel: "Looking at younger Sister Pan’er’s frail appearance, I thought you would be the first to complain about being tired. Little did I know, I turned out to be the one losing face."

"How is that called losing face?"

Su Pan’er smiled: "I’ve always been an unruly girl when I was young. I was always out in the wind and rain, climbing mountains and swimming in the lakes. There are not too many rules in the countryside, which allowed me to develop a good foundation. Naturally, climbing is not a problem."

Her natural godlike strength was widely spread among the court and the commoners. However, few people had personally seen how strong she was. Most of them thought that it was exaggerated. After all, she looks small and delicate.

"This kind of foundation, many people couldn’t have it no matter how much they admire it."

Mrs. Zhang was truly amazed this time around!

By the time they finished talking, they all had entered the grand hall. After their bows and incense offerings, they proceeded to the pre-arranged Zen rooms for a temporary stay.

At this time, Su Pan’er’s liking for the monastery was near zero. As soon as she moved into the Zen room, she felt uncomfortable.

Looking around, she casually grabbed Mrs. Zhang’s hand: "Considering the size of this Zen room, we might as well choose adjoining rooms. This way, it would be more convenient for us to talk. I’m really worried about that incident at Huangjue Temple..."

Mrs. Zhang was naturally eager to agree!

She quickly nodded with a laugh: "The events at Huangjue Temple were a terrible misfortune that only happens once in a lifetime. Where could we be so unlucky as to encounter it again? There might be several more ladies coming later in the evening. We all agreed to meet this morning. We were just worried it would disturb your rest."

As of now, Su Pan’er was not in a good mood and wished someone would chat with her.

"It’s rare that we’ve come out, so we have to enjoy ourselves, otherwise the trip to Da Ci’en Temple would be a waste."

"Younger Sister Pan’er, I agree with you!"

When they settled things and had chosen a Zen room on either side, they moved in.

Little Yanyan loved to play. From the moment they left home till now, she stared at the scenery with her big dewy glistening eyes in Su Pan’er’s arms. As soon as Su Pan’er settled in, she obviously hadn’t seen enough and wanted to cause a stir. Luckily, Su Pan’er was prepared and immediately sent a servant to get a vegetarian meal.

As soon as she saw the food, Little Yanyan, who had been playing for half a day and was starving, naturally no longer cried.

The vegetarian dishes at Da Ci’en Temple tasted very good. Although they were a bit bland, the head chef’s cooking skills were obviously top-notch, making the taste quite unique.

Little Yanyan ate happily.

After she had filled her little stomach, it didn’t take long for her to fall into an afternoon nap.

Although Su Pan’er wasn’t physically tired from walking all the way, she felt mentally exhausted. Coupled with her inadequate rest from yesterday, she also took a nap for a while.

It wasn’t until the afternoon when Mrs. Zhang came to invite her again that Su Pan’er finally got up.

When they talked about vegetarian dishes, Mrs. Zhang gave her a different kind of look, saying very meaningfully: "The vegetarian dishes here are famous in the surrounding temples. Apart from the exceptional quality of Da Ci’en Temple itself, it’s also because the dishes here are delicious. That’s because the head chef here was originally chosen from the Imperial Kitchen by the former emperor. He is good at making vegetarian dishes. This has been passed down from generation to generation, so their dishes always taste remarkably good."
