In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 828: Chapter 807: Unwelcome Guest!

The discussions of these people were one thing, but what really shocked Su Pan’er were the portraits posted at the city gates, which featured not only her but also Lui Muyi and Su Huarong.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, Lui Muyi moved close, unheard and unnoticed: "Pan’er, what should we do now?"

"Let’s go! For now, we should fall back."

Su Pan’er quietly retreated, slowly exiting the crowd and finding a spot where the officers couldn’t see her.

Aunt Xiao looked extremely worried: "Madam, with so many officers holding portraits and capturing people, with an attitude of rather making a mistake than letting anyone go, it’s going to be tough to get through here."

"Indeed, it will be tough."

Lui Muyi frowned, hesitating: "It’s strange, how did they know it was us in the carriage?"

Su Pan’er suddenly remembered this point, too. It made sense that Zhang Cann knew it was her, and the first cousin brother might have been familiar from past encounters. But Big Brother Lui was also there—how could they have known?

"Do you mean, you fear there’s an insider who’s leaked our whereabouts?"

"Exactly!"

Lui Muyi nodded, his words full of implication: "Before, apart from uncle taking Little Yanyan and another group of people away in a different direction, I’ve been thinking, could it be that some of them were captured and thus our whereabouts were revealed?"

"That’s a possibility."

Su Pan’er understood in her heart, but spoke lightly and breezily: "Whatever the reason, for the moment we have no choice but to disguise ourselves and blend into the city."

"That’s a good plan, but how are we going to disguise ourselves to get through?" Lui Muyi was troubled.

Su Pan’er pursed her lips and smiled confidently: "Don’t worry! I have my ways."

Peiding County City was located on a major thoroughfare used by travelers heading north and south, and although not large in area, had always been a strategically disputed location. Currently, three portraits were posted at the city gates, and the soldiers there had received a direct order from above to adhere strictly to the directive: "It’s better to make a mistake than to let a fugitive escape," They were to thoroughly search each passerby to ensure no Imperial Court offenders escaped.

Therefore, the guards watched with wide eyes, all alert as they checked each person passing through.

It just so happened that a pock-faced young woman and a limping farmer, carrying a wicker basket of vegetables into the city, were approached. Not only did the soldiers check the baby wrapped in swaddling but they also meticulously searched through the wicker basket, and only after multiple confirmations there were no issues, did they let the pair pass.

Once the limping farmer and pock-faced woman entered the city, they quickly merged with the crowd. They moved along the eastern city wall and, after a little while, met up with an elderly couple. They swiftly entered a small alley, twisted and turned inside, making sure no one was following, and finally led everyone to the Rice Grain Shop.

After entering, the elderly man whispered a few words to the shopkeeper, and the group followed him into the rear courtyard.

By now, the advantages of Lui Muyi as the local authority quickly became evident.

Lui Muyi casually wiped off the makeup from his face, massaging the stiffness out of it: "This place belongs to the Lui Family. You can treat it like your own home and relax. There won’t be any trouble. Regarding the meeting point we agreed upon with the first cousin brother, I’ve already sent someone to wait there. As soon as they see our people, they’ll bring them over immediately."

Everyone relaxed all at once.

"Madam, your skills are truly unparalleled!"

The pock-faced woman couldn’t help laughing: "Who could have imagined that you, Madam, would be proficient in Disguise Technique—it’s impressive!"

On the other hand, the limping farmer seemed less impressed: "This is just a little trick; it’s nothing special when you get down to it. If you want to learn, I can teach you when we have more time."

The pockmarked-faced young woman was none other than Xiao Min, and the limping farmer was none other than Su Pan’er in disguise. The couple pretending to be elderly was naturally Lui Muyi and Aunt Xiao.

This so-called Disguise Technique was simply a combination of modern makeup and disguise methods that Su Pan’er had summed up! Xiao Min wanted to learn, and Su Pan’er was not stingy about teaching her.

Xiao Min was delighted, but after thinking it over, she still declined, "Thank you, madam, but my aspirations lie elsewhere, I’ll have to trouble you instead."

Lui Muyi called over a servant to arrange rooms for everyone.

After a series of scares, thankfully, both mother and child, Xiao Min, received proper care. Su Pan’er, not reassured, took her pulse herself and, seeing there was indeed no problem, asked Aunt Xiao to take good care of her. Lui Muyi also didn’t dare to be negligent, washed and rinsed himself and then took a nap. When he awoke again, night had fallen; he thought it over and went to the room where Su Pan’er was staying. Su Pan’er also washed and rinsed herself, ate a little to fill her stomach, and then worried about Little Yanyan’s and her first cousin brother’s safety. She tossed and turned, barely managing to sleep for a while before being unable to fall asleep again. In her anxiousness, seeing Lui Muyi enter, she hurriedly inquired about the whereabouts of Su Huarong and Little Yanyan.

"What’s the news? Have the servants found anything?"

"Don’t worry, if there’s any news, they will definitely bring them over. There won’t be any trouble!"

Lui Muyi comforted her.

Little Yanyan had never been away from her since she was a child; how could she not worry!

Su Pan’er thought for a moment, "How about this! If we still haven’t found my first cousin brother and Little Yanyan by nightfall, I’ll leave the city alone to look for them."

"No way! I can’t be at peace with you going out alone, absolutely not!"

Lui Muyi immediately refused, saying no matter what, he wouldn’t agree! In his urgency, he took hold of Su Pan’er’s hand, "Pan’er! You should know what you mean to me. If something happens to you, won’t you take my life with you?"

Su Pan’er looked up in surprise, rather unable to snap back to reality from his words.

"I mean... cough cough!"

Lui Muyi felt a bit embarrassed, quickly steering the conversation back, "Before setting off, I promised Qin Yi that I would ensure your safety. With the niece’s whereabouts unknown, I cannot allow you to risk yourself!"

So that was it!

Su Pan’er laughed, "I am highly skilled in martial arts, those soldiers outside are no match for me. Now that Xiao Min is staying here, I feel more at ease than anywhere else. I will go out and look around, and if I can’t find Little Yanyan, I will return immediately!" she assured, again and again.

But in reality, what use would her assurances be if she actually encountered a problem?

Of course, Lui Muyi wouldn’t allow it, and neither was willing to yield.

Just then, a servant came to report that they had found Su Huarong and would bring him over shortly.

Su Pan’er breathed a sigh of relief on the spot!

Finding Su Huarong meant that Little Yanyan was also safe and sound!

Su Pan’er, overjoyed, quickly ordered some dishes herself, and Lui Muyi instructed the kitchen to prepare wine, planning to drink to their heart’s content once Su Huarong arrived.

But as everyone waited, left and right, Su Huarong was late in coming.

And along with him, apart from Little Yanyan, there was another unexpected guest!
