Chapter 777: Chapter 776 Lord Marquis Returns to the Mansion!_1

"Madam, the Lord Marquis sent back a message. He commands us to guard the Marquis Mansion well and drive away anyone who dares to intrude!"

Uncle Xiao stepped forward immediately, hastily stating, "I saw that the madam was busy, so I didn’t disturb you. However, we’ve already repelled several groups of people at the mansion gate. People have tried climbing over the wall as well. Fortunately, nothing serious happened!"

"Haha! These people really aren’t afraid of dying, are they?"

Su Pan’er sneered a few times.

Turning her head to sense the movements inside, she issued an order, "Guard the gate well. If necessary, we won’t need to hold back our Thunderbolt Bombs. These people must really think our Marquis Zhenguo’s Residence is some delicacy that anyone can take a bite of. Let’s see if they really have the appetite for it!"

Uncle Xiao’s eyebrows twitched slightly. He immediately retreated and conveyed the orders.

Xiao Min came in with a tray, arranging the dishes, "Madam, you haven’t had a warm meal for several hours, please eat something."

"Very well."

Su Pan’er was indeed exhausted, sleepy, and hungry.

Her stomach was burning. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Halfway through her meal, a loud explosion echoed from outside, shaking the entire house and knocking down countless amounts of dust.

Qingwen turned pale and left quietly.

Su Pan’er kept eating her meal as if nothing happened. By the time Uncle Xiao came to report, she had just finished her last mouthful, and Xiao Min hurriedly took away her bowl and chopsticks.

"There was another group just now, much larger this time. Upon receiving your orders, Madam, the mansion guards used the Thunderbolt Bombs. The effect was better than expected. Those people were clearly stunned, leaving without taking care of the aftermath."

Su Pan’er rinsed her mouth with tea and wiped her lips with a handkerchief.

A mocking smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, "I’d like to see who else dares to overstep."

Uncle Xiao also grinned for once.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Just then, a coughing sound emerged from inside, The Empress Dowager had awoken at last!

"So, you’ve finally woken up, Empress Dowager..."

The Empress Dowager became furious as soon as she regained consciousness. Su Pan’er had no choice but to explain the circumstances.

Outside Marquis Zhenguo’s Residence, people trying to storm the mansion gate vanished as if into thin air, leaving behind a black pit over ten feet deep, warning the world.

It seemed that people outside had forgotten about Marquis Zhenguo’s Residence. Despite the chaos outside, the mansion grounds were eerily quiet.

Luckily, they were self-sufficient in the mansion.

Days passed in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow would be the Little New Year.

Su Pan’er was discussing Little New Year traditions with Uncle Xiao.

Now that the Empress Dowager was staying in Marquis Zhenguo’s Residence during these times of war, how to celebrate the Little New Year, and how to handle it subtly, was beyond Uncle Xiao. He had especially come to ask Su Pan’er about it.

"Given the circumstances, prepare a table of home-cooked food. The Empress Dowager has become accustomed to lavish dishes in the palace. A change of taste might help her eat more."

The recent events had clearly affected the Empress Dowager - apart from severely questioning Su Pan’er soon after she woke up.

After hearing Su Pan’er’s explanation, she had remained silent, either sleeping or staring blankly into space.

Her once elegant demeanor had faded and her figure had noticeably slimmed down.

"Yes, Madam. I’ll arrange it according to your wishes."

Uncle Xiao wanted to say more but kept quiet.

Su Pan’er darkened her eyes and turned her head away without speaking. She was more eager than he was to know the current situation of Qin Yi.

"Leave."

She ordered casually.

Before Uncle Xiao had even left the room, a shouting voice came from outside, and a gatekeeper came running in.

"Report! -"

The gatekeeper exclaimed joyfully, "Madam, great news, Lord Marquis has returned, Lord Marquis has returned!"

Qin Yi has returned!

Everyone rose simultaneously, gazing at the door with faces full of surprise and joy.

"Let’s go out and welcome Lord Marquis!"

Su Pan’er strode out like a shooting star, quickly instructing, "Summon the kitchen immediately, ask them to prepare some food as fast as possible and send it to the parlor. Also, ensure a supply of silver charcoal and start the under-floor heating to warm it up..."

The servants on the side quickly complied, their faces wreathed in joy as they rushed off to carry out her orders.

Lord Marquis has returned!

Marquis Zhenguo’s Residence will not fall!

Even the Empress Dowager, who had been silent all along, couldn’t help but turn her head, hope flickering in her eyes.

Su Pan’er rushed to the main hall, sure enough, she saw Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was brought into the Marquis Mansion on a stretcher. The stretcher was carried by four strong men and was heading towards the rear courtyard.

Su Pan’er’s jubilant expression froze as her gaze fell on the stretcher. It felt like her blood had turned to ice in an instant, almost causing her to collapse!

"Qin Yi!"

She rushed forward to see him better on the stretcher.

His whole body was covered with blankets, saturated with bloodstains. His face half hidden by his tousled hair and beard. His eyes were closed, and he lay motionless on the stretcher.

"Qin Yi..."

Su Pan’er was rendered speechless. The pain in her heart was unbearable. Her trembling hands reached out to touch him, but froze halfway.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, forcing herself to open her eyes again.

She bit her lip hard and reached out to touch his face, only to find it icy cold.

A wave of despair washed over her. She quickly checked his neck pulse, and then suddenly collapsed onto the stretcher and began to cry uncontrollably!

"Qin Yi, Yi..."

The grief was tearing her apart!

Uncle Xiao and the other servants were struck by a chill, their faces turning ashen in disbelief.

Had the young Lord Marquis passed away?

Uncle Xiao’s face turned pale. He tried to approach but Su Pan’er was lying on top of the Marquis, preventing him from getting close. He was as anxious as ants on a hot pan!

"You bastard, you broke your promise! You promised me you would take good care of yourself, you bastard..."

Su Pan’er continued to cry as she scolded him, somehow blaming him for all they had endured.

Uncle Xiao’s eyes were also red-rimmed, struggling to hold back his own tears.

He hurriedly moved forward to comfort her, "Madam, Madam, you must take care of yourself, there are still many things waiting for your decision. Besides, the young lady, she is still so small...Madam!"

But the more Su Pan’er cried, the more heartbroken she became, obviously not heeding Uncle Xiao’s words.

She continued to thump her fists against the man’s chest.

"Cough, cough..."

The man on the stretcher could no longer endure her turmoil, and coughed a few times. Uncle Xiao and the others widened their eyes in surprise.

"Madam! He’s back... back to life..."

Uncle Xiao pointed at the figure on the stretcher, his whole body trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.
