In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 991 A World of Difference

Chapter 991: Chapter 991 A World of Difference

Su Ke endured and endured again!

Out of respect for her older sister and fourth brother-in-law, she ultimately let her off the hook!

There is a saying, "God is fair, for when He closes one door, He also opens another window."

Mrs. Qin-Li seemed to have found that door.

From then on, her most frequent boast was, "My son is the current Emperor!"

Indeed, because of this claim, she seemed unstoppable, taking whatever she wanted, doing whatever she wished!

After all, who wouldn’t give face to the current Emperor?

This also led to Mrs. Qin-Li’s unstoppable demeanor! She would always start or end with "My son is the current Emperor," leaving everyone too angry to speak.

The situation today was the same!

Passing by the snack shop and smelling the fragrance of the steamed buns wafting from inside, she irresistibly made her way in, which led to the scene that followed.

"Speak up! Didn’t you say your son is the current Emperor, why have you stopped talking now, huh?"

These words made Mrs. Qin-Li tremble all over!

Glancing at Su Pan’er next to Qin Yi, she moved her old lips several times but finally lowered her head, daring not to utter a word.

Qin Yi glared with a fierce expression, snorting heavily.

"Do you realize, deceiving and cheating can lead to imprisonment!"

These words made Mrs. Qin-Li tremble all over again!

"No, I haven’t... no, no... I..."

The usually articulate Mrs. Qin-Li was stuttering for the first time ever!

"Hmph!"

As Emperor, Qin Yi exuded an even more domineering aura!

He glared, and this immediately silenced Mrs. Qin-Li, not daring to speak out of turn.

"Careless chatter can lead to the punishment of tongue removal! Or is it that you no longer wish to keep your tongue?"

These words turned Mrs. Qin-Li’s face pale with fright!

She hurriedly covered her mouth, shaking her head incessantly, too afraid to speak again.

She stammered unclearly, "No, I haven’t spoken out of turn, it wasn’t me..."

Indeed, a villain often meets a worse villain!

Qin Yi was no longer the naive person he once had been; he would not be deceived by Mrs. Qin-Li’s act.

Even so, Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched his cowering foster mother.

Remembering that she had, after all, raised him, Qin Yi’s ruthless expression softened slightly.

"Well, do you still intend to stay here?"

At those words, Mrs. Qin-Li felt as if she had received a royal pardon and scurried away in an instant.

"Hey! Wait, you haven’t paid for your meal..."

The server from the shop chased after her, seemingly intending to say more but was stopped by someone from behind.

The middle-aged looking man continuously bowed and nodded at Qin Yi and Su Pan’er, "Thank you, young master, for helping the shop out of a pickle. Such a great favor should not be mentioned with words of thanks; today’s breakfast is on the house for the young master. I hope you will speak kindly of our shop in the future."

"Are you the owner?"

Qin Yi asked curiously.

"Ashamed, ashamed, indeed it is I," the shop owner said, bowing with his hands clasped as a gesture of respect.

Qin Yi also gave a fist and palm salute, "In that case, it seems I am the one at fault. The person you encountered earlier was my mother, she just has a little problem here..." Qin Yi pointed to his head with an apologetic face, "All things considered, it is indeed my mistake. I will bear all the losses that have been caused to your shop today. I hope the owner will not take it to heart."

The owner burst into laughter, "So that’s what it is! I was wondering... no wonder then. One can’t judge a person with a mental illness by common sense. As for the cost of breakfast, does the young master disdain me so much that he won’t even let me offer him a meal?"

With the conversation reaching that point, Qin Yi had no choice but to clasp his fist in acquiescence.

"Well, in that case, I shall respectfully comply!"

The owner acted as host, inviting Qin Yi and Su Pan’er to a private room to drink together. In the meantime, Qin Yi inquired about the menu in the small shop, which had not changed for many years.

The owner was clearly delighted by the topic, and quite proud: "The culinary skills of this humble shop have been passed down from my ancestors, from generation to generation. By the time it came to me, it has already been over forty generations. Parents to children, children to parents, one after another, the only thing that has not changed in the slightest is our taste. Indeed, it’s all about living up to these two words, one’s conscience!"

"Well said! It’s a clear truth indeed."

Qin Yi greatly praised!

The owner, laughing heartily, moved closer to Qin Yi, "What is your esteemed surname, brother?"

"Naturally, it is Qin."

"The Qin surname is the imperial surname, that’s really something."

The owner chuckled with an insinuating smile, "Young Master Qin, not far from here is the Qin Family’s Mansion. In the four years since I took over this Snack Shop, I’ve grown accustomed to seeing people coming and going from there, but I have never seen you before! I guess, Young Master Qin, you made up that previous statement as a way to extricate that lady from the situation, didn’t you?"

After saying this, he laughed heartily again.

In this world, speaking the truth gets you nowhere!

People only believe what they see with their own eyes.

Qin Yi didn’t insist, but instead asked curiously, "It seems the owner here is quite discerning."

"Discerning may be saying too much, but having a small shop here naturally means I’m familiar with the comings and goings of people."

Qin Yi didn’t continue the interrogation, instead, they casually chatted about this and that.

It was only two hours later that he left with Su Pan’er, both reluctant to part.

Upon leaving the shop, Qin Yi looked at Su Pan’er apologetically, "I promised to take you out for fun, and we ended up seeing this farce. It’s really disappointing..."

"Disappointing is not the word for it. But, should we not visit the Qin Family’s Mansion?"

"Why the sudden interest in going there?"

Qin Yi was curious.

"It’s not so sudden. Since we stayed at Qin’s Mansion for so many days back then, we naturally should go there now that we have some free time, just to visit and look around."

Although Qin Yi had met with the Qin family members after they arrived in the capital, they couldn’t speak freely in the Imperial Palace, and everyone was very restrained, leaving much unsaid.

Now, standing at the doorstep of the Qin Family’s Mansion, it was natural to go in for a chat.

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi discussed it and instantly agreed; hand in hand, the two of them went to the Qin Family’s Mansion.

Inside the Qin Family’s Mansion.

With Mrs. Qin-Li present, the mansion had been gloomy and filled with a stifling atmosphere recently.

Qin Yu was surprised to hear that Mrs. Qin-Li had gone out today and unexpectedly returned empty-handed; she considered whether to go see her as, after all, that woman was her biological mother. Unexpectedly, the Gatekeeper reported that His Majesty himself had come!

Instantly, the people of Qin Family’s Mansion sprang into action, each as if facing a great enemy, rushing to the main hall to welcome him.

Seeing Qin Yu, with her temples gone white, kneeling before him, Qin Yi felt very emotional.

He strode forward and personally helped her up.

"Big brother, between you and me, there’s no need for such formality anymore. Everyone, please rise!"

In the past, although the Qin family knew that Qin Yi had become the Emperor, knowing it was one thing; it’s quite another to see it with one’s own eyes!

It wasn’t until they entered the capital that they truly comprehended the meaning of a world of difference.

Now, with Qin Yi standing before them, everyone felt awkward and dared not make any rash movements, no longer as easy-going as before.
