Chapter 942: Chapter 947: Everything He Had to Say Is Written in the Letter

"Ke’er..."

She was so excited that she could hardly speak.

She hurriedly got up and let Xiren open the door to the room, seeing him through a curtain.

In the countryside, there was a custom that you shouldn’t meet with men at will during the confinement period after childbirth, and although a brother-in-law is not really an outsider, it was still taboo for men to enter the room during this time.

Looking at his frame that had grown as tall as a bamboo shoot, Su Pan’er’s eyes brimmed with joyful tears, "Ke’er, you’ve grown taller, and you’ve grown up! You’re truly a young man now!"

Ke’er stood as tall as Su Lao Si, lofty and still somewhat green, with a lean figure. One could imagine how dashing and attractive this young man would become in just another year or two!

She had never felt such a stark realization before!

It seemed like this young man had only left her side for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he had completely changed his appearance!

"Sister Pan’er, now that Ke’er has grown up, you can relax a bit more. If there is anything you need Ke’er to do, just command me,"

Ke’er’s voice seemed choked with something, his words coming out slightly suffocated.

There was a time when he could throw himself into his fourth sister’s embrace without any inhibition, hugging her and sharing his grievances.

But now, she was married and bearing children for another man.

And he had grown up, understanding restraint and the importance of propriety. They looked at each other, separated by a curtain, bound by etiquette.

Such awareness brought a flicker of tears to his eyes, but he quickly took a deep breath.

The fact that they could meet again in these chaotic times was already a joyous occasion!

He composed himself, cleared his throat, and spoke earnestly, "This time, I am here on the orders of your fourth brother-in-law, especially to escort the two uncles to Luoyan Village for a reunion with Old Xue. And also, I plan to stay here for a while until you are in good health, then escort you north to Shengjing to join your fourth brother-in-law. This is a task personally entrusted to me by him!"

"Your fourth brother-in-law asked you to escort me north?"

Hearing news about Qin Yi all of a sudden, Su Pan’er was particularly excited.

Although they had been apart for only a little over two months, it felt to her as if half a century had passed.

"Indeed."

When he spoke again, Ke’er had clearly adjusted his emotions, his expression and the arch of his eyebrows cheerful, "Your fourth brother-in-law is very concerned about you. Before Ke’er left, he repeatedly instructed me to take good care of you. His initial intention was for Ke’er to come back and watch over your childbirth, but unexpectedly, your little niece has already grown so much."

Ke’er was especially emotional.

He hurried all the way here, thinking that he could be with Sister Pan’er during her childbirth, at least to accompany her through the toughest part.

But things don’t always work out as planned!

Neither he nor your fourth brother-in-law anticipated that you would deliver prematurely.

"Let’s not talk about that; in the end, the fact that both mother and daughter are safe is a blessing..."

Su Pan’er felt that she had a wicker basket full of questions to ask—heavy with inquiries about how he had been over the years, how Qin Yi was doing now, where the military was marching, which powers had pledged their allegiance, and she wanted to ask... thousands of words bubbled up to her lips, yet she found herself unable to articulate a single question!

At last, the two could only gaze at each other through a curtain, remaining silent without a word.

Perhaps knowing the difficulty Su Pan’er faced, when Ke’er’s rationality gradually returned, he began to recount his experiences over the years.

Originally, Su Ke was under the protection of Su Pan’er, living together.

When Qin Yi resigned from his position as Marquis Zhenguo and stealthily left with his family, for the sake of Su Ke’s future, he sent Su Ke to study diligently at Songyang Academy. Since at the time of enrollment, Qin Yi only provided Su Ke with the Approval Note for the enrollment as an ordinary farmer’s son, and, although the outside world was in chaos, that area of the academy had always been a place the various warlords actively avoided. Thus, Su Ke’s days at Songyang Academy were, in fact, especially peaceful and simple.

Apart from studying, during the academy’s recesses, he would also follow the teacher left by Fourth Brother-in-law and several close confidants to gather information about Shengjing. Utilizing the connections Fourth Brother-in-law had established in Shengjing, he helped convey news and movements concerning Shengjing for Fourth Brother-in-law.

It was only some days ago, having received covert instructions from his Master, that he temporarily left the academy to lay low. After finding out about Fourth Brother-in-law’s whereabouts, he then sought him out...

Speaking of Fourth Brother-in-law, Su Ke paused, fumbling in his chest for a bit, and then produced a letter to present to Pan’er.

"This is a letter Fourth Brother-in-law entrusted Ke’er to deliver to you, and he also sent an extra package for you. It’s still in the carriage outside; I will bring it over later. Sister, you don’t have to worry about Fourth Brother-in-law, although he looks a bit unkempt, he is in very good spirits!"

A letter from Qin Yi!

At this, Su Pan’er became excited, hurriedly getting up and pulling the curtain aside, reaching out to take it, "Qin Yi, what... what else did he say?"

Her speech was slightly nasal.

Seeing his Sister Pan’er’s somewhat trembling hand, Su Ke couldn’t help but laugh, "Sister, don’t rush, Fourth Brother-in-law said all he had to say is written in the letter. You should read it first!"

"Ah, ah! I know..."

Su Pan’er, clutching the thick envelope tightly, turned to go inside, but was hesitant due to Su Ke’s presence, unsure whether to stay or go.

In that awkward moment, Su Ke burst into laughter instead!

"Look at you, so eager; this is more like my Sister! So many years have passed, yet you haven’t changed at all, still my Sister!"

"You little scoundrel! If I’m not your Sister, then who is?"

Su Pan’er rolled her eyes at him, and any initial restraint and estrangement from their first meeting quietly vanished.

This sensation was sudden, yet it warmed Su Pan’er’s heart immensely, "You know, no matter how the world changes, the bloodline kinship between us cannot be severed. Even if I’m married and you have a wife, and we each have our own families, this kinship will always endure."

"Sister..."

Su Ke’s eyes instantly reddened, choked up to the point where he couldn’t say anything. All he could do was call her name in a choked voice.

"Alright, alright, no need for tears here. You go ahead, change into some clothes and eat something warm to heat up your body, and then have a good sleep. You must be exhausted from the long journey, right?"

"Not tired, Sister Pan’er, Ke’er is not tired at all."

Su Ke quickly shook his head; he didn’t want to leave his Sister.

"You rascal! You’re not tired, but your Sister is," she’s still in her confinement period!

Before Su Pan’er could respond, Mrs. Su-Hua’s words came from the other end of the corridor. She walked up briskly, looking at the brother and sister who were having a heartwarming conversation, genuinely delighted in her heart. Of course, she also noticed the tightly held envelope in Su Pan’er’s hand.

She then smiled knowingly, casting a loving glance at Su Ke, "Enough now, don’t stand here making your Sister catch a cold. Mother has made some tasty food for you; hurry up and eat, then go lie down for a bit."
