Chapter 921: Chapter 926: The Unexpected Person
Turns out none of these are a problem after all!
Lui Muyi was pleased!
He then invited everyone to taste the delicious food, "Today the chef has made beef. This is veal, incredibly fresh and tender, it’s simply delicious."
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a decree against slaughtering plow bulls. But it couldn’t curb people’s preference for beef, especially around New Year, when beef sold well in secret.
Moreover, for a wealthy family like the Lui Family, it wasn’t hard to get beef at all.
Having resolved the matter with Qin Yi, Su Pan’er felt slightly relieved. It was only then that she realized she was extremely hungry.
"Would you like the beef boiled or stewed? If it’s veal, why not make it into beefsteak? A medium rare steak would be just right, tender and sweet, leaving a fragrant taste in the mouth, simply the most delicious!"
"Medium rare?"
Lui Muyi was very curious, "Isn’t that almost like eating raw meat? Can raw meat taste good?"
"It’s tender, sweet, and fragrant only when it’s medium rare!"
Su Pan’er loved her steak medium rare and immediately urged Lui Muyi, "Why don’t you let the kitchen give it a try? I guarantee you’ll want more after tasting it!"
Since it was something she liked, Lui Muyi naturally didn’t object.
He promptly instructed the cook to prepare the steak.
The cook had no idea how to make steak. It was Su Pan’er who carefully guided the cook, teaching her to season it with pepper and spices. Only then did a medium rare steak come out properly.
When the steak was served, Su Pan’er cut it open with a knife before presenting it to everyone. To everyone’s surprise, red juices still flowed from within, which was too much for Old Xue and the others to accept! Only Lui Muyi, with his bolder appetite, watched Su Pan’er eat with relish and decided to try a piece himself. The delicious flavor dazzled him instantly, and he hurriedly urged everyone else.
"Indeed, delicious! You all should try it too!"
Whether it was Lui Ming or Old Xue, or even Eleventh Uncle, none could resist the temptation of fine food, so they all gave it a try.
As the exquisite flavors hit their mouths, everyone nodded in agreement, it was truly scrumptious!
"Actually, there are various doneness levels for steak, such as rare, medium rare, and medium-well. However, I personally prefer medium rare, so I wanted you all to have a taste," Su Pan’er explained.
Su Pan’er ate happily!
What made her even happier was sending that letter.
As long as the letter reached Qin Yi, he would definitely send the rascal pig back immediately to fetch the "Map of Mountains and Rivers". Right! The "Map of Mountains and Rivers" was of great importance, and she couldn’t possibly entrust someone else to take it. Thus, she had only written a letter to Qin Yi, instructing the rascal pig to return once more.
Having dealt with the matter weighing on her mind, Su Pan’er had a great appetite and ate a lot of the delicious food.
Yan Yan and Shuang’er ate quietly by the side, cheeks puffed out like little squirrels, endearingly cute.
After lunch, Old Xue and Eleventh Uncle both decided to stay at the Lui Family’s Mansion for a few days.
Old Xue and Lui Ming were old acquaintances. Although there was some age difference between them, Old Xue preferred staying at the Lui Family’s Mansion, where he could converse with Lui Ming, rather than at the Qin Family, where it was lonely and hard to find someone to talk to.
"You still have two months left until childbirth. I’ll stay here for a few days. If you notice anything wrong, send someone to inform me immediately."
Old Xue had promised Qin Yi that he would take good care of Su Pan’er and ensure the safety of both mother and child. Now that Su Pan’er’s pregnancy was stable and it wasn’t time for childbirth yet, his absence for a few days wouldn’t matter much.
Su Pan’er bid farewell to Lui Muyi and got back on the carriage, which continued down the streets of the county city.
The coachman was clearly experienced, driving very smoothly without a hint of bumpiness. Inside the shaking carriage, Su Pan’er, accompanied by Yan Yan and Shuang’er, listened to the children’s chirping conversations. Along with the rolling of the carriage wheels, everything seemed so peaceful.
But in the very next moment, a cry of alarm suddenly came from outside the carriage!
Following that, there was the coachman’s loud voice trying to control the frightened horse.
Su Pan’er felt the carriage lurch, and instinctively pulled the two children closer to protect them.
However, it was all over in a moment!
The carriage finally came to a halt. The startled horse snorted restlessly and pawed the ground, showing signs of impatience.
Su Pan’er did not let go of the two children, but instead asked the coachman loudly.
"What happened?"
"Sir, madam, outside..."
The coachman’s hesitant voice came through: "Just now, that old man suddenly threw himself at the carriage. I couldn’t avoid him in time and hit the old man, disturbing madam. I admit my fault."
They hit someone?
No wonder it was so chaotic outside just now.
Yan Yan and Shuang’er both seemed very panicked, looking up at Su Pan’er. Yan Yan was even clutching Su Pan’er’s sleeve, yet she couldn’t help but curiously peek outside repeatedly.
"Mother, should we get off the carriage?"
"No, we are not getting off."
Su Pan’er thought it was not suitable for the two girls to show their faces at this moment, especially with her own big belly showing.
She then instructed the coachman outside: "You go down and see, has the other party been injured?"
The coachman complied and soon reported back: "It’s that old man, he has already fainted. Madam, you see..."
That person had clearly charged over just now, obviously staging a scam!
There were also people shouting about this matter next to the carriage, and Su Pan’er watched as more and more people gathered outside, her brows tightly furrowed.
She had no choice but to instruct them: "Stay inside the carriage, and do not get off. Especially you, Yan Yan. Did you hear me clearly?"
The incident of Yan Yan being taken away by Su Xian’er had become a shadow in Su Pan’er’s heart. Whenever she encountered a crowd and needed to leave Yan Yan’s side, Su Pan’er couldn’t help but worry.
Only as a mother could she understand this gut-wrenching feeling.
Yan Yan obediently nodded her head.
"I understand, mother. You go ahead."
Shuang’er also assured her from the side: "Third auntie, rest assured, I will take good care of little sister Yan Yan."
The assurance from Qin Shuan’er eased Su Pan’er’s worries considerably.
Only then did she lift the curtain and step down from the carriage.
The old man who was hit under the carriage had already been helped up by the coachman, yet his eyes were tightly closed without consciousness.
Su Pan’er just took one look and realized that something was off about the man’s demeanor.
A surge of anger rose in her heart!
This man’s breathing was rapid, and his eyelids were constantly trembling; he was clearly feigning unconsciousness. Could it be that they had really encountered a scammer?
But why did she find this face so familiar?
Who is this person?
"Cough cough, who are you?"
Su Pan’er immediately asked. Seeing that the other party did not respond, she got a bit angry: "If you don’t answer now, then you won’t need to speak again."
The person visibly shuddered, eyelashes quivering non-stop, and finally, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Madam, madam, this has nothing to do with you. It was the old man’s own carelessness in falling down, and I haven’t been injured..."
The other party was clearly someone sensible and did not claim he was hit, instead admitting to his own mistake.
"Oh?"
Su Pan’er was taken aback, then nodded slightly: "It’s good that you are not injured. If you were, you could come to Luoyan Village to find me."
She then turned back to instruct the coachman: "Give the old man twenty taels of silver."
