Chapter 896: Chapter 901: Qin Shuan’er’s Trouble

Su Pan’er tried over and over again, but still couldn’t figure out how to use the iron piece.

Of course, she never thought of destroying the iron piece, and after some thought, she finally put it back into the envelope.

She slowly walked to the corner of the wall, and with a gentle press on a hidden spot, a small noise followed by the revelation of a hole. Su Pan’er reached in and took out the Qianji box hidden inside.

This Qianji box had been hidden in the wall corner all those years ago, and surprisingly after so many years, it was still there in perfect condition.

Turning her head to glance at Little Yanyan, who was sound asleep, she fiddled with the Qianji box and its mechanisms opened up, revealing the treasures she had stored for many years—the silver banknotes she had hidden inside, and the letters Qin Yi had sent her back then!

Su Pan’er made a count, and there were hundreds of taels worth of silver banknotes. It looked like she wouldn’t have to worry about the child’s childbirth expenses.

She took out a hundred-tael silver banknote, and additionally, one of fifty taels and one of ten taels. She neatly arranged the remaining banknotes, retrieved the letters from the Qianji box, and then placed the newly received envelope at the bottom, before hiding the Qianji box again.

Returning to the bedside, she picked up the letters and read through them one by one.

These were the letters Qin Yi wrote to her when he was serving as the County Magistrate of Changze County, sent frequently every few days.

The letters were filled with his yearning for her and his anticipation for the child she was carrying. Unconsciously, Su Pan’er stroked her belly, a smile appearing on her face.

Little Yanyan turned over, hugged Su Pan’er’s shoulder, rubbed against her arm, and fell back into a deep sleep.

Time flies so fast!

The child who was once in her belly had now grown so big!

Time ages people rapidly!

Immersed in memories and longings for Qin Yi, Su Pan’er drifted off to sleep.

She slept until daylight, feeling that she hadn’t had such a peaceful sleep in a very long time!

After she washed up and came out of her room, she found that many familiar faces had arrived: all the family members who had stayed in Luoyan Village had come!

Even Qin Yu and Qin Yueshi, who worked in the county city, had returned home with Qin Shuan’er, and everyone was congregated in the living room chatting enthusiastically. When they saw Su Pan’er leading Little Yanyan back, they all stood up.

"Third brother’s wife, you... you’ve come back..."

Qin Yu and Qin Yueshi had aged greatly since the past, and the Qin Shuan’er standing beside them had grown a lot taller, almost as tall as Qin Yueshi.

Seeing familiar faces again, Su Pan’er was also very excited.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, Shuan’er, are you all doing well?"

Seeing that her elder brother and sister-in-law seemed rather reserved, Su Pan’er reached out to Qin Yueshi’s hand and sat down with her to one side, then turned back to Qin Shuan’er, "Shuan’er has changed a lot, you’ve not only become prettier but also much taller."

"Yes, we’re all doing well," they replied.

Complimented, Qin Shuan’er’s face turned red as she quickly lowered her head. Qin Yueshi appeared to visibly relax and became more at ease, "These past two years, the child has suffered a lot. Fortunately, she has managed to get through it."

Without waiting for others to speak, Mrs. Su-Hua squeezed through the crowd and reached out to grab Little Yanyan’s hand.

"Pan’er, you’re back! Yanyan, my dear granddaughter, come here, your grandma has prepared many delicious treats for you. Come along!"

"Grandma..."

Little Yanyan looked back at Su Pan’er, and seeing her mother nod, she then followed her grandmother down.

Qin Yu seemed very reserved, unconsciously rubbing his hands, "How is third brother doing?"

"Very good, these years have been tiring and tough, but thankfully we made it through,"

Su Pan’er still adhered to her attitude of sharing only good news, not the bad.

This sentiment made Qin Yi laugh heartily, "As long as we made it through, that’s all that matters. Third Brother is fortunate, the good days are yet to come."

"I am flattered by your kind words, Big Brother."

Su Pan’er’s eyebrows and eyes smiled too.

Qin Yi straightened his back.

"Big Brother really believes that, ever since we were young, I always felt Third Brother was different from us. Truly, Third Brother has become a Lord Marquis... It is his destiny!"

In the isolated Yan Village, the people only knew that Qin Yi had become a Lord Marquis, but they were unaware of anything else.

Su Pan’er smiled and did not respond but changed the subject, "How are you and the nephews doing?"

Qin Yi did not speak, glancing instead at Qin Yueshi.

Qin Yueshi’s eyes instantly reddened, "It’s the same as always... we just carry on. As long as we are still breathing, we have to struggle for that breath, right? Right now, we’re helping out in a wealthy family’s house, and we are used to doing fieldwork. There’s nothing particularly good or bad about it."

Su Pan’er fell silent.

"Big Brother, Big Sister, Pan’er is quite heavy with child at the moment and I’m afraid I can’t help you out much. But give me some time, and I’ll find some lighter work for you," she said.

She intended to offer more comforting words, but the thought of a failure on Qin Yi’s end, of offering help she could not give, held her back.

In the end, she didn’t say much more.

"I knew it, Third Brother’s wife is a kind soul."

Qin Yueshi felt much more relaxed. She wiped away the tears that had slipped down by accident with her sleeve, and then turned to look at Qin Shuan’er, "We are already getting on in years, and we do not wish for much. We just hope that you, Third Brother’s wife, can lend us a hand. My daughter Shuang’er has suffered a lot following us around these years. All I hope for is that she doesn’t have to walk the same difficult path as us, that she can find a family with easier circumstances, where she doesn’t have to worry about meals every day and deal with troublesome in-laws. I..."

She glanced at Qin Yu beside her, who wished he could bury his face into the ground, his face turning crimson with embarrassment.

"Mother, what are you talking about! She’s not going to mind you now!"

Qin Shuan’er’s face also turned red, embarrassed.

"Shuang’er, it’s Mother’s fault, Mother is useless! Now that things have come to this, aside from your third auntie, Mother can’t think of any other way out. Don’t blame your mother..."

As Qin Yueshi spoke, both mother and daughter began to cry.

"What’s going on? Big Sister, make things clear,"

Seeing the state of the three, Su Pan’er sensed there was a problem and immediately asked in haste.

Qin Shuan’er kept her head down and remained silent. Qin Yu bowed his head even lower, and after a moment’s thought, Qin Yueshi let out a long sigh.

"At this point, the Qin Family has already lost enough face, it doesn’t matter if we lose a bit more. I will tell you, here’s what happened..." Qin Yueshi recounted the events.

Actually, it wasn’t anything unexpected. The family they were working for had been quite decent to them, but things went south when their young son happened to see Qin Shuan’er, and from then on, he couldn’t be stopped.

If the young man were truly sincere about his feelings for Qin Shuan’er, Qin Yu and Qin Yueshi wouldn’t be such close-minded parents. But the problem was that he already had a fiancée and even two adjoining room maidservants. The fiancée, finding out about this, did not even know where to turn, and she forced them to leave.

Over the years, in order to leave Luoyan Village and work elsewhere, they gave all the silver banknotes they earned every month to Old Qin. Although they kept a little for themselves, with three sons to care for, life was quite hard.

Now, not only were they at risk of losing their jobs, but they were also caught between the young master of that family and his fiancée, unable to decide whether to stay or go.
