In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 787 - 786 New Year!_1

Chapter 787: Chapter 786 New Year!_1

How could Young Mrs. Liu bear to leave? Her daughter was just behind the wall, yet she dared not disobey her husband’s words and had no choice but to leave, looking back with every step she took.

Seeing Liu Yankang turn around without a second glance and leaving in his carriage, the gatekeeper silently despised his actions!

He had just claimed that he wouldn’t leave without seeing anyone, yet as soon as he turned around, he fled faster than a rabbit.

The gatekeeper promptly closed the gate and hurriedly went to report to Lord Marquis.

"Your servant followed Lord Marquis’s instructions and relayed the message. Lord Liu did not hesitate at all before leaving. I only came to inform you after he left," he said, taking out a jade pendant with some reluctance from his bosom. "This is something Lord Liu forced upon me. I request Lord Marquis to look at it."

Seeing that Qin Yi remained silent, leaning against his pillow, Su Pan’er waved her hand dismissively.

"It’s just a jade pendant, keep it. You may leave."

Once the gatekeeper left, visibly delighted and expressing gratitude, Su Pan’er finally sat down next to him, "How did you know that he would leave upon hearing this news?"

Qin Yi opened his eyes and looked at her, "How long have I been injured?"

"It’s been eight days now ... oh, you mean ..."

Su Pan’er suddenly realized what he implied, and her face instantly darkened.

She’d talked lightly, but in reality, she coped with the antics of her original body’s parents with unrealistic optimism! She hadn’t seen their hidden intentions.

Seeing her downcast, Qin Yi hurriedly tried to console her, "Don’t be sad. There must be many people outside maintaining a wait-and-see attitude. One more or one less of these doesn’t make a difference. He’s not worth your grief."

"Yeah, I know."

Su Pan’er was silent for a moment, then raised her head and laughed, "I said I wouldn’t worry about him anymore, but I can’t help it. I’ll order the kitchen to prepare food and we can eat and chat."

True to her words, she ordered the meal.

Qin Yi was still recovering from the wounds and needed several meals a day. He also needed to take a decoction between meals—the medicine bowl from the previous dose hadn’t been gone for long.

Upon hearing this, he closed his eyes and let Su Pan’er handle everything.

Once she let go of thinking about Liu Yankang’s visit, Su Pan’er began preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The New Year’s Eve dinner tradition was to eat until the New Year. Considering the cold weather outside, Su Pan’er ordered people to bring in a hotpot table into the inner room for Qin Yi’s convenience.

This hotpot table, designed after the ones in later generations, had a large hole carved in the middle where charcoal was placed. A yin yang pot was placed over this. When the charcoal was lit and the soup in the pot started to bubble, the family gathered around the table for New Year’s Eve dinner.

The room was warm, and Su Pan’er had two more basins of silver charcoal added. To ensure the air wasn’t too dry, she had water basins placed in the room. To prevent the slight fumes from the charcoal from causing discomfort to the children, she had the windows half-opened and covered with gauze.

As she sat next to Qin Yi, putting slices of meat into the pot, she gave some instructions to the servants. "Give me Yan Yan, and you all go home for the New Year! You’ve been working hard all year, it’s good to spend some time with your families. There’s no need for you to stay here."

The servants were overjoyed and thanked her before leaving in high spirits.

Only Nanny Zhou stayed behind, "Your servant has no one at home, it would be better for me to stay and serve Miss. That way, Madam, you can have a hot meal too..."

In the past two years, Su Pan’er’s attendant Xiao Min was betrothed to a man named Chang Si, the head of Qin Yi’s guard. Chang Si was shrewd and a trusted follower of Qin Yi. Noticing that Xiao Min was growing older, he chose a date and requested Su Pan’er to arrange his marriage to Xiao Min.

With Uncle Xiao’s consent, Su Pan’er agreed to arrange the marriage for the two. They planned to finalize the process once Aunt Xiao and the others arrived next year.

Meanwhile, Qingwen had also met with two families. However, due to Qin Yi’s injuries, the matter was put on hold and was yet to be discussed further.

Instead, it is Nanny Zhou, whose biological child once remained in the Qin’s mansion in Shengjing was taken away by Qin Hong. Up to now, they had not been able to reunite.

Upon hearing that there was no one left in her family, Su Pan’er smiled somewhat reluctantly.

"Don’t worry, Nanny Zhou! In the coming year, I will surely make sure that you and your child are reunited! Definitely."

Nanny Zhou’s eyes turned red, hurriedly standing up to give her thanks.

"With the lady’s promise, even a humble servant like me has received the best gift for the New Year."

She had been longing for a reunion with her son for too long...

However, she also understood that the current situation was fraught with war and resulting in homes destroyed and families perished. At this moment, even a glimmer of hope was precious.

Qin Yi, on the other hand, was reminded of his last deal with Mr. Jiang.

It was that deal, he let Teacher Song go, not only were the people in the Qin mansion not exchanged back, but instead, a handle was given that caused him a lot of controversy in the Court.

Thinking now, maybe he could give more benefits to Qin Hong!

Bring all those elders back, after all, they are all family.

While Su Pan’er ate herself, she also helped cook vegetables for Qin Yi, making small talk. The meal was long enough, halfway through, little Yanyan fell asleep. After Nanny Zhou brought Yanyan down to rest, she and Qin Yi still took their time enjoying the New Year’s Eve dinner.

"What a pity. Such good food, such a beautiful scene, but there’s no good wine to go with it. If Brother Ye and the first cousin brother were here, we could eat, drink and chat together, it would be great!"

Qin Yi smacked his lips, eyes eagerly expressing, with a face full of nostalgia.

Ye Han was sent out a long time ago by Qin Feimo to lead troops against Prince Zhan’s troops, he was not even able to return for the New Year.

As for Su Huarong, he went to Yongzhou Prefecture a month ago to find Lui Muyi, and there has been no news from him since then.

The people who could drink and chat freely were all absent, and he was wounded and couldn’t even hold a bowl, how could Qin Yi not bit nostalgic?

"Want to drink? Hehe, you wish!"

But Su Pan’er directly choked him back, "If you can get out of bed now and walk around lively, I will allow you to drink today, how about it?"

Qin Yi put on a face full of grievance.

"Then, I shouldn’t eat anything, just drink plain water."

If he could get out of bed and walk, where would he need her to feed him?

The look of grievance on his face was similar to the time Little Yanyan was punished for doing something wrong, which made Su Pan’er want to be angry, but couldn’t help but want to laugh.

"Alright, stop acting. It’s naturally a bit difficult to heal. Those foods that can’t be taken in, I firmly prohibit you from eating. This also warns you, no matter who it is, always remember to leave three points of vigilance. This time it is good that a calamity brings a blessing. But it’s best to always prepare for the worst..."

Once she starts talking, it seems endless.

"When your body is fully recovered, you want to drink, I’ll accompany you!"

Su Pan’er insisted, her eyes were crystal clear, like the shining stars in the night sky.

Qin Yi seemed to be listening intently, but in fact, his thoughts had long drifted far away.

Just as Su Pan’er was chattering, sporadic fireworks exploded in the night sky. New Year’s Eve was over, and a new year was upon them.
