In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 983 - 988: And Brother Chen...

Chapter 983: Chapter 988: And Brother Chen...

Once, she detested the arranged marriage so much, later resisted it with all her might, and felt even happier when Prince Xuan, after becoming the emperor, arranged her marriage to Qin Hong. But now, she hated herself for her naivety and profoundly understood the deep affection the late emperor had for her, and her regret for not seeing people for who they truly were...

She wished that time could flow backward, granting her the power to foresee the future, so she would never again speak wrong, act wrong, or choose the wrong path!

Now, looking at the seat of Empress which should have been hers easily, yet it was occupied by her once closest sister!

While she still had to kneel on the ground begging for mercy in her unhappy marriage...

Jun Ruoxue secretly clenched her pink fists, her fingernails digging deeply into the flesh of her palm, yet she didn’t feel the slightest pain at all!

Seeing Jun Ruoxue only crying, yet fixing her gaze on Qin Yi without uttering a word, made Qin Yi frown repeatedly. He could not help but turn his attention to Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er also felt somewhat displeased!

A glint of cold light flashed in her eyes, and she immediately coughed heavily twice.

"Princess Consort Xuan, His Majesty is speaking to you!"

Jun Ruoxue came back to her senses, quickly buried her head very low, and sobbed softly and weakly.

"Sister Pan’er, His Majesty... Xue’er, I also don’t know what to do. My grandfather refuses to handle this matter, my mother has no say, and Brother Chen also..."

As soon as Jun Ruochen was mentioned, both Qin Yi and Su Pan’er’s faces darkened!

Initially, Jun Ruochen became obsessively stubborn, putting Su Pan’er in grave danger to the point of nearly losing her life, causing her to be unconscious for over three months before waking up.

During these days, Su Pan’er had distinctly felt a serious decline in her physical condition, especially her resistance. Su Pan’er estimated herself that the major sickness had damaged deep within her brain and life-force. Although she didn’t have an exact figure, she assumed she had likely lost a decade of her lifespan!

Fortunately, she was already on the verge of transcending "mortals," and if she could advance further, her lifespan could reach 500 years. By that time, losing a mere decade wouldn’t be a concern.

Fortunately, Su Pan’er turned a misfortune into a blessing, although she encountered a major disaster because of Jun Ruochen, it also helped her break free from her past Heart Demon!

Yet even so, it could not erase the harm Jun Ruochen had done to her!

However, at that time, Jun Ruochen mistakenly thought that Su Pan’er had died, so he abandoned the tens of thousands of troops he led and headed to Shengjing alone to seek revenge on Bald Donkey Liao Jue!

Regrettably, he was no match for Bald Donkey Liao Jue!

After catching up with Liao Jue, after only a simple explanation, they clashed because they didn’t see eye to eye.

Bald Donkey Liao Jue, the Old Monk, was highly skilled; even though he had no intention of fighting with Jun Ruochen seriously, he inflicted serious injuries with just two moves, leaving Jun Ruochen bedridden for a whole half year until he fully recovered not long ago.

Upon learning that Su Pan’er was still alive, Jun Ruochen mysteriously disappeared!

The entire Jun Family was looking for him, but no one knew his whereabouts.

"Jun Ruochen? Hmph!"

When talking about Jun Ruochen, Qin Yi suddenly slapped the armrest of his chair, "Isn’t it said that he had gone into hiding long ago? What now, you have news of him?"

How could Qin Yi easily let go of the accomplice who hurt Pan’er?

He had already investigated Jun Ruochen’s whereabouts; the man had mysteriously disappeared before he even entered Shengjing, otherwise...

"Brother Chen doesn’t care about Xue’er’s life or death. He just left on his own without saying a word. He didn’t even tell Xue’er where he was going, Xue’er..."

Jun Ruoxue cried with hiccupping sobs.

But Qin Yi didn’t believe a single word of her explanation, staring at her expressionlessly.

"Alright! Xue’er, stop crying now."

Su Pan’er’s eyes were unusually deep: "To talk of divorce is simple, but to actually do it is inherently not an easy task. Better for you to go back first and have a thorough discussion with your grandfather, then act accordingly once a decision is made!"

"Pan’er is right."

Qin Yi raised his hand to hold Su Pan’er’s small one, looking into her eyes with particular gentleness: "In a marriage, couples fight at the head of the bed and reconcile at the foot. Princess Consort Xuan, you and Pan’er are good sisters, Pan’er won’t sit by and watch you suffer. But then again, you and Prince Xuan are ultimately husband and wife. Husband and wife—it’s about putting up (a façade) and playing along (deceiving). When it’s time to turn a blind eye, you should be more forgiving!"

Qin Yi’s words carried profound meaning!

If Qin Hong wanted to have children with another woman outside for the sake of an heir, and then raise the child under Jun Ruoxue’s name, it’s likely even the head of the Jun Family wouldn’t say a word.

With just one sentence, Jun Ruoxue suddenly burst into tears: "That’s not how it is at all..."

She began to cry again, but Qin Yi’s patience had run out!

He stood up, then with a flick of his sleeve, he said to Su Pan’er, "Let’s leave the matter at that! I have things to attend to and will head to the Imperial Study now. Pan’er, didn’t Yan Yan keep asking for a fruit salad? Don’t forget about that. I’m afraid of her pestering ways!"

He said he was afraid of Little Yanyan, yet the pride on his face made Su Pan’er smile all of a sudden!

"I understand, I’ll make it in a while."

The fruit salad was something Su Pan’er had attempted to make a few days ago. Little Yanyan, after tasting it once, had clamoured to eat it for two days in a row. With the current hot weather, eating a fruit salad in the sweltering heat of June was sheer delight!

No wonder Little Yanyan liked it!

Only then did Qin Yi leave at ease.

When Su Pan’er turned around, she saw Jun Ruoxue staring with tear-filled dewy eyes at Qin Yi’s retreating figure, and she slowly let the smile fade from her face.

"Princess Consort Xuan, you should go back early as well! Live well with Prince Xuan. No matter how he was in the past, now that he intends to live well with you, you should give him a chance. It’s better for you, and for him."

These words changed Jun Ruoxue’s expression on the spot.

"Sister Pan’er..."

"You go back! His Majesty’s word is his bond, and you should not act recklessly and offend His Majesty. By then, even if I personally went to plead on your behalf, I fear it would be of no avail."

Su Pan’er didn’t wait for her to say more and turned to leave.

"Sister Pan’er, Sister Pan’er! Empress, Empress..."

Jun Ruoxue chased after her, but after only a short distance, she was stopped by two Imperial Guards with long swords. However, Su Pan’er continued on without stopping and without turning a deaf ear, striding away like a shooting star.

Once back at the temporary Grass Pavilion, Su Pan’er didn’t go to make the fruit salad; instead, she dismissed all the attendants with a wave of her hand and sat down at the desk, lost in thought.

She still remembered how, not long after marrying Qin Yi, she had met Jun Ruoxue.

Back then, Jun Ruoxue was lively, adorable, and mischievous!

Just seeing her smiling face could lift Su Pan’er’s spirits, which is why, over the many years, she had always held Jun Ruoxue in high regard!

But today, that look Jun Ruoxue gave Qin Yi...

At that thought, Su Pan’er’s mood instantly soured!
