Chapter 911: Chapter 916 Discussing Terms

"In the future, whenever Qin’s third kid needs anything, if the Qin Clan has it, just take it. If not, the people of the Qin Clan will even smash pots and sell iron to gather it all. You see..."

The Clan elder spoke at length, until he was dry-mouthed, his smile had stiffened on his face, and his body shivered with cold as he eagerly waited for Su Pan’er to make a decision.

Su Pan’er glanced outside the door, then back at the three clan elders.

The faint smile she had maintained on her face slowly faded away.

"What kind of words is the Clan elder saying? Pan’er wouldn’t dare to punish these clan uncles on her own... However, since the Clan elder has already ordered them to kneel, naturally, Pan’er cannot disregard the Clan elder’s kind intentions. Let them kneel then!"

Su Pan’er’s expression suggested she was easy to talk to and showed much respect to the Clan elder, freezing his smile into an even more rigid mask.

It took a while before he could barely manage to twitch the corners of his mouth, "Since it’s like this, this elder is very grateful to Qin’s Third Daughter-in-Law."

The expressions on the other two clan elders’ faces were also quite strange, but neither dared to speak rashly.

"No thanks are needed, after all, the Clan elder is a senior whom Pan’er and her husband respect."

Su Pan’er yawned and patted her swollen belly, "After all the fuss, I haven’t even had my afternoon tea yet, so I won’t keep you gentlemen any longer. If the Clan elder and the two clan elders have some spare time, why not join my grandfather for a few games of chess and some snacks before leaving?"

"That would be very nice, very nice indeed."

The Clan elder and the two clan elders hurriedly agreed.

Su Pan’er gave Patriach Su a meaningful look from the side, and then she left with Qin Yanyan.

For this farce, Patriach Su arrived too late; the show was over by the time he emerged, but this did not hinder him from taking care of the aftermath.

It is said that with age comes wisdom, and his twinkling old eyes fixed on the Clan elder, a sharp coldness flashing in their depths.

The Clan elder felt as if his skin was being flayed, realizing that this time, he couldn’t avoid a substantial loss!

That evening, the three clan elders and Patriach Su talked until very late before leaving the Qin Mansion. Moreover, midway through the conversation, the new Clan Leader of the Qin Family also hurried over.

After arriving, Su Pan’er did not go out to meet him; instead, she sent Qin Yueshi to find her older brother, so Qin Yu went out to receive the Clan Leader on her behalf. The new Clan Leader’s face seemed coated in black paint, dark and gloomy. Seeing that Su Pan’er didn’t come out herself but had sent Qin Yu out to welcome him, made his face look as if it could squeeze out water!

Furious, he was about to barge into the house!

But he was dissuaded by the three clan elders!

Su Pan’er sat in the second floor house, playing Go with Old Xue and chatting idly, appearing oblivious to the commotion outside. Shortly after, it seemed the new Clan Leader was calmed by the three clan elders, and quiet restored outside.

Old Xue placed a white stone, looked up at her and asked, "Aren’t you worried at all that the new Clan Leader might cause trouble?"

Su Pan’er casually placed a black stone, picking up the surrounded white stones and responded nonchalantly, "Worried? Why should I worry. A mantis trying to stop a chariot is nothing but a jest."

If the old Clan Leader were still around, she, Su Pan’er, might not have been so confident. But this so-called new Clan Leader of the Qin Clan, not only did he lack breadth of mind and tolerance, but he was also focused on suppressing her. Now that she had the opportunity, she had intended to take him down once and for all, but considering the pleas from several clan elders, she decided to spare him for the time being. If he really sought to provoke her, believing his life to be too long, she wouldn’t mind lifting a finger.

"You, my dear, are so composed that even I, the old man, cannot see through you!"

Old Xue sighed.

He felt a pang of regret for the white pieces on the chessboard that he had lost,"Won’t you concede a little to this old man, you girl who’s capable of doing three things at once?"

"Old Xue, you are an elder, how can there be a reason for the younger generation to let the elder win at chess?"

Su Pan’er squinted and smiled,"This isn’t about being calm or not, but rather that I simply look down on the means of this new Clan Leader."

The new Clan Leader’s hatred toward her had been palpable when the old Clan Leader had wanted to appoint Qin Yi as the new Clan Leader. She had felt it then and there and rejected the proposal on the spot. Unexpectedly, the other party still harbored thoughts of utterly destroying her!

Even though she spared his son, making the Qin Clan bleed significantly once to add some military funds for Qin Yi wouldn’t be too bad.

Given her grandfather’s eloquence and abilities, surely the new Clan Leader would have a hard time.

As expected, when they left that night, the new Clan Leader and several Clan elders all had looks of utter dejection.

And Patriarch Su, the old fox, was smiling so gleefully that even his eyebrows seemed joyous. What conditions he had proposed to them, outsiders would naturally not know. However, the black, pressing crowd that knelt outside the Qin Mansion was still taken away by the new Clan Leader.

Also taken away was the new Clan Leader’s severely injured direct grandson, Qin Bing.

The conflict ended in such a strange manner.

Yet, it planted an immovable seed in the hearts of the Qin clan communities. From then on, even if they had to pass by the edge of the Qin Mansion to go up the mountain, the Qin clan communities would avoid the mansion and walk a wide berth around it.

And as for the villagers of Luoyan Village, they all kept silent about the dispute.

In Yongze County Town, however, the news that "the Qin Mansion had been attacked by thieves, leading to the accidental death of three people who were protecting their home" spread. Since the families of the deceased kept silent, the matter was left unresolved.

In fact, the County Magistrate of Yongze and the officials of Yongzhou City were already aware of Qin Yi’s rebellion.

Qin Yi’s true identity had already been circulating among the officials.

Not to mention the little maneuvers everyone was making behind the scenes, everyone was taking a wait-and-see approach regarding the success of Qin Yi’s rebellion. No one was foolish enough to visit the Qin Mansion at such a time and risk trouble. The Qin Mansion was unexpectedly calm.

Underneath this calmness, however, swirling undercurrents were invisible to the common eye!

Su Pan’er, however, led Qin Yanyan to assess the recent events.

"What do you think, why did Mother choose to be lenient yet stern?"

Yan Yan was much smarter than the average child. Yet, as smart as she was, she was still young at heart, restless and impulsive. Once Su Pan’er discovered this, she naturally made every effort to let Yan Yan understand how the world worked early on. At the very least, she couldn’t let her be someone who knew nothing of the world.

Qin Yanyan’s eyes sparkled brightly!

Ever since she saw her mother stand poised and unruffled amidst a "pack of wolves," still managing to chat and laugh without showing the slightest hint of timidity, she elevated her mother to a status even higher than her father’s in her heart.

She knew that her father had braved death on the battlefield, valiantly fighting the enemy. But those stories were told by others, while she had witnessed the chaos from start to finish — never had those battles felt as immediate as this turmoil, so naturally, the impact was different!

"Mother, did you spare them because they are our relatives?"

"Being relatives is only part of it."

Su Pan’er shook her head, striving to teach Qin Yanyan.
