Chapter 888: Chapter 888: This Child is Promising

Su Pan’er is back!

Such news spread quickly, even the Old Qin family received the message.

Su Pan’er’s return made Mrs. Su-Hua the happiest and proudest of all!

Although it was the middle of the night, the cold wind outside could not deter Mrs. Su-Hua’s enthusiasm.

"Come, come, come! Are you all tired and hungry? I had the servants prepare some hot food, eat it while it’s warm, and have a good sleep afterwards—then everything will be alright. And my dear granddaughter from my mother’s side, eat more too, eating more will help you grow taller, understand?"

Mrs. Su-Hua joyfully invited everyone to eat.

The group had grown weary and, upon entering the Qin Mansion, everyone drank hot tea, changed their clothes, and the room was heated by a charcoal fire, making the whole house warm. For those who had suffered in the tunnels, nothing could be better!

Everyone thanked her and began to eat.

Old Xue and Eleventh Uncle were accompanied in the outer room by Patriarch Su and Su Lao Si, while Su Pan’er and Yan Yan were personally attended to by Mrs. Su-Hua.

"Mother, stop pacing around, come sit down and chat with us."

Su Pan’er pulled Mrs. Su-Hua down to sit as well.

Mrs. Su-Hua did not decline, and once seated, she kept serving Little Yanyan with food: "Look at this little nose and big eyes, you’ve gotten so thin, you need to eat more and put on weight to look good."

"Thank you, grandmother."

Yan Yan’s little mouth was sweet, and even though she was hungry at the moment, she did not forget her manners.

"Mother!"

Su Pan’er quickly took the food from Yan Yan’s bowl: "We were famished underground, we can’t eat too much, or our stomachs won’t be able to take it. Some porridge and green vegetables will be enough."

"Understood, mother."

Yan Yan watched as her own mother took away all the delicious dishes, swallowed hard, but ultimately did not overeat.

Seeing the obedient and pitiful Little Yan Yan, Mrs. Su-Hua’s heart ached terribly!

"Poor child of mine..."

She called out affectionately, almost as if it pained her heart: "You mustn’t eat too much if you are badly hungry, but you can eat this meat porridge. Even a little is fine, and if you get hungry in the middle of the night, just have the servants make some more."

Once the two had eaten to about seventy percent full, Su Pan’er and Yan Yan stopped eating and did not indulge further.

This scene, witnessed by Mrs. Su-Hua, once again tugged at her heartstrings, causing much distress for Su Pan’er.

"Those damn bastards, unexpectedly without a conscience! They made my dear Pan’er suffer..."

Mrs. Su-Hua kept cursing those blind thugs incessantly.

Su Pan’er did not elaborate on the process of their return, only mentioned that they were at Taohua Valley for Pregnancy Health when they encountered thieves. They managed to escape by chance and ended up emerging from behind Deicide Mountain.

Mrs. Su-Hua did not probe further into the inconsistencies of the story. Seeing the weariness on the faces of Su Pan’er and her daughter, and that the men outside had also eaten their fill, she quickly arranged for everyone to rest.

Exhausted from the journey, Su Pan’er did not say much. As soon as they relaxed and touched the bed, mother and daughter fell asleep in each other’s embrace.

When Mrs. Su-Hua finished tidying up the table and came in, she saw the embrace of mother and daughter.

Mrs. Su-Hua could not help shaking her head and sighed, she tucked them in properly, then lay down next to her own daughter.

Although Su Pan’er didn’t say anything, Mrs. Su-Hua still understood her daughter’s hardships. She lay beside her daughter, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Only when the sky was about to lighten did she manage to doze off.

Su Pan’er, however, slept until noon before waking up.

When she woke up, she found that Little Yanyan, who had been lying beside her, was already up, and the low voices of Mrs. Su-Hua and Yanyan talking came from outside the house. The familiar house and her child’s baby talk inexplicably relaxed Su Pan’er; she lay in bed for a long time before finally turning over and getting up.

Next to the bed was a complete set of pure cotton garments, with everything from the inside out, all made to fit her figure when she left home. Even though she had lost a lot of weight by now, her belly had bulged out. The clothes, though loose, were just right considering she’d grow into them more as the months passed, and she felt exceptionally joyful at heart.

"These dresses were made by Mother in her free time. Mother didn’t know you’d become this thin; they look a bit too big on you. But with a little alteration, they should fit just fine."

Mrs. Su-Hua came in just as Su Pan’er had finished changing into the dresses.

"Mother, thank you."

Su Pan’er expressed her gratitude sincerely.

Thinking of how many years had passed since she left home, Mrs. Su-Hua had still remembered to make dresses for her, a thoughtfulness that Su Pan’er naturally cherished in her heart, never to forget for a moment.

"What’s there to thank for, I am your mother!"

Mrs. Su-Hua looked at her disapprovingly several times, then pointed to the wardrobe beside them: "There are plenty more dresses inside. If you like them, take them and wear them. I just fear that they may not be to your liking."

"They are to my liking, definitely to my liking."

Su Pan’er nodded repeatedly, tearful at the corners of her eyes.

"You child..."

Mrs. Su-Hua sighed, "Old Xue has already explained the whole situation in detail. When Mother listened to his recount, it scared me to death. You are pregnant now, how can you still be so reckless, always rushing to the front? What if something happened to the baby, how would that be okay?"

"Mother, Pan’er wouldn’t dare to charge out in front anymore."

Her hand gently caressed her belly: "This child is a fighter, and has always been reluctant to part with me."

Not to mention the danger she faced during the three months of deep coma when she conceived the child, even the recent flight for survival had been a close brush with death. If this child wasn’t a fighter, it probably wouldn’t have made it through the journey at all.

Of course, this was also due to her own expertise in medicine, ensuring she took as much care as possible to protect the baby.

"Even if the child is a fighter, it can’t withstand all your turmoil!"

Mrs. Su-Hua was visibly upset, "Can’t you just stay at home peacefully, supporting your husband and teaching your child, instead of always doing things that scare the daylights out of people? It’s hard on your son-in-law, too; with your temperament, you must have put him through a lot, right?"

"Mother, how can you say he’s been put through a lot because of me?"

Su Pan’er disagreed, and noticing her mother’s displeased expression, she quickly grabbed her mother’s clothes and shook them: "There now, Mother, you’re worried about me, but am I not well and at home looking after my pregnancy health? Besides, this misfortune came out of nowhere, it really wasn’t my fault!"

Su Pan’er tried to argue in her own defense.

"Then you tell me, what exactly happened with you and your husband?"

Mrs. Su-Hua asked persistently, still unsettled.

"What else could have happened, but just that."

Su Pan’er responded casually, her thoughts drifting to Qin Yi, wondering how he has been these days, if he knew about the trouble in Taohua Valley yet.

Qin Yi, of course, knew about the trouble in Taohua Valley!

However, he found out much too late, only learning of it through messages sent by carrier pigeons. He also learned about the bandits rampaging through Taohua Valley, searching fruitlessly for Su Pan’er and others.
