Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Nonsensical Pestering

Speaking of Ye Han, Qin Yi suddenly fell silent.

Ever since he ascended to the throne, it seemed that he had not enjoyed a hearty drink with Ye Han for a long time!

"It’s been quite a few days since I last saw Brother Ye, how is he doing now?"

Doing well?

"He’s alright, a few days ago during the morning court session, he even presented a petition concerning Qin Hong... He’s not in Shengjing these past few days, I’ve sent him out on business."

"Brother Ye has helped us a lot. Frankly speaking, we really owe him."

As this topic came up, Su Pan’er felt an especially heavy heart.

Now in his early thirties, Ye Han has neither a companion to share in his warmth and cold, and every day it’s either court affairs or running around for various matters. How could Su Pan’er not feel guilty?

"Yi, Brother Ye has been working tirelessly on state affairs, neglecting his personal affairs for a lifetime. Now that there is peace under heaven, why not arrange a marriage for him, find a woman of suitable family who can understand his warmth and cold, take care of him, and show him concern? That would be very good."

Su Pan’er’s suggestion was a good one, and Qin Yi hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.

"Actually, I’ve mentioned this to Ye Han more than once in the past. Unfortunately, he seems to have little interest in this matter, always making excuses. This time, I must make him agree no matter what!"

"Yes, that’s exactly what should be done."

Su Pan’er became enthusiastic as soon as she talked about this matter, "When we return to the palace later, I will have people compile a list of ministers with eligible daughters, and we must pick a candidate that meets the criteria, for Brother Ye to review. I don’t believe that among so many women, there isn’t one who can catch Brother Ye’s discerning eye!"

Qin Yi nodded as well, casually placing a piece of cake into Su Pan’er’s bowl.

"Hurry and eat, otherwise the food will get cold."

Su Pan’er acknowledged and began to eat breakfast too.

As the two were eating merrily, they heard a commotion outside.

Qin Yi frowned slightly, and Eunuch An gave a look to the armed bodyguard in plain clothes to one side. The bodyguard quickly went down, and not long after, came back, whispering into Eunuch An’s ear. Eunuch An looked surprised, then sent the bodyguard away.

"Something the matter?"

Seeing Eunuch An frequently glancing in their direction, Qin Yi put down his silver chopsticks to ask casually.

"Yes, there is an issue."

Eunuch An bowed even lower, "Just now a servant reported in. It seems that an old woman arrived at the inn and wouldn’t stop making a scene with the innkeeper, speaking in an outer territory accent no less, and not only eating without paying, but also finding faults in everything, making a fuss. She angered the innkeeper, but that old woman, brazenly proclaimed herself to be the mother of His Majesty..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Yi and Su Pan’er’s gazes uniformly landed on Eunuch An.

"Claiming to be the mother of His Majesty?"

Su Pan’er glanced at Qin Yi, thought for a moment, then gestured to Jiu Lan beside her.

Jiu Lan leaned in to listen, and after a few whispers from Su Pan’er, she hastily left.

This time when she came back, Jiu Lan looked somewhat changed.

"It’s her, indeed!"

Jiu Lan spoke with difficulty, which instantly dampened Su Pan’er’s appetite for the meal.

In the breakfast shop this morning, a peculiarly dressed old woman showed up. As soon as she arrived, she ordered several kinds of breakfast items.

But when the food was served, she wrinkled her nose and looked disdainful, constantly ridiculing the establishment. In the spirit of keeping the peace, the shop’s staff turned a blind eye and said nothing. To their surprise, the old woman had an impressive command of language and cursed all morning!

When it was time to leave and she had to settle the account, she even cursed the shop for overcharging, provoking the staff.

"You lowly curs, offering a few buns for this old woman to eat! Is it because you think I’m old and can’t do math, or what? A bun for ten coins? Why don’t you just rob people!"

"Let me tell you, it’s not ten coins, nor two coins. This old woman here won’t pay a single penny!"

"You disdain me, a lone old woman, but do you know who my son is? I’ll have you know, the reigning emperor is my son!"

The old woman boasted with pride.

Babble babble babble...

In front of the breakfast shop’s counter, an elderly woman clad in a bright red dress was rolling on the ground, a spitting image of hooliganism!

She was wearing a silk chiffon dress. Although the fabric was fine, the oversized clothes hung on her aged body like rags. Moreover, she had chosen a bizarre shade of red that, on her, made her look like a clown, odd to anyone who looked at her.

At the moment, she was bawling and wiping away non-existent tears, utterly unconcerned with the rouge that was smearing across her face. With her lips painted a bright red, she was ranting incoherently — a sight that was simply unbearable to witness.

"If you don’t want to stir up trouble, then hurry up and bring out something good to eat and drink for this old woman. Otherwise, once I tell the emperor about this, you’ll see if you can avoid the consequences! Hmmph..."

The old woman had not a shred of embarrassment, her face full of smug satisfaction!

"Where are you planning to complain?"

The old woman was in the middle of her proud spiel when suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her, making her involuntarily turn her head to look.

With just one glance, she was immediately stunned! The smug smile that had been on her face a moment before disappeared instantly.

This old woman was none other than Mrs. Qin-Li, who stubbornly followed them to Shengjing, begging and wheedling her way!

Originally, Su Pan’er wanted Old Qin to come to the Capital City with her, but he said he was too ashamed to see Qin Yi and wanted to stay in Luoyan Village to live out his old age, stubbornly refusing to travel north to Shengjing.

On the contrary, Mrs. Qin-Li, whom Su Pan’er did not inform, sneaked into the convoy and stubbornly followed them.

Who could have expected that halfway through the journey, Su Pan’er fell into the water and vanished. Qin Yi was too busy searching for Pan’er to remember that Mrs. Qin-Li was coming to the Capital City!

Fearing that Su Pan’er would forcefully send her back to her hometown, Mrs. Qin-Li, who was dead set on "enjoying her fortune" in Shengjing, refused to get out of the carriage, thereby missing her chance of entering the palace.

However, she thus got stuck with the Qin family members!

Accompanying Pan’er to the Capital City wasn’t just the Qin Yu family; there was also Qin Hao and others. Mrs. Qin-Li hid in their midst, and when Qin Yi granted the former Qin’s Mansion to Qin Yu and Su Ke for accommodation, she also moved into the Qin Family’s Mansion.

The prosperity of the Qin Family’s Mansion dazzled Mrs. Qin-Li!

After the initial surprise, her innate penchant for small gains took over.

She began to collect various fine items from the mansion, moving everything to the house where she was staying. From large decorative pieces and screens to minor odds and ends, whatever she saw, she took, like locusts swarming through!

In the beginning, everyone just looked the other way and pretended not to notice her actions. But her greed went too far, and when she ventured into Su Ke’s room to take his belongings, she finally angered Su Ke, who threatened to make her pay!

Unexpectedly, she invoked Qin Yi to protect her!

"My son is the reigning emperor! Do you dare to lay a finger on me, old woman? Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning?"
