"There’s really not much happening."
Acting all familiar, Mrs. Zhang’s deanor was completely different from the cold front she had initially, her smile barely showing her eyes, "Here’s the thing, my family got this pot of peonies in 4 colors the other day, which unexpectedly blood on the auspicious occasion of His Majesty’s seventieth birthday. So, I’ve invited a few good friends from the Capital City to get together and take a look at the flower."
Mrs. Zhang took out an invitation card as she spoke and placed it on the small table in front of Su Pan’er.
This ’admiring the flowers’ business was nothing more than an excuse!
What’s more important is the aning behind this flower viewing.
The laughter in Su Pan’er’s eyes beca increasingly gentle!
"It’s so kind of elder sister to extend this invitation, and I’ll certainly attend. However, as I’m new here, there’s a lot about Capital City’s rules and affairs I don’t understand. I’ll need elder sister’s guidance on these matters."
This statent made Mrs. Zhang very happy! She held up the handkerchief in her hand and shook it joyfully.
"We’re all sisters, there’s no reason to be so formal. If you don’t understand anything, feel free to ask elder sister."
Su Pan’er was thrilled to hear this!
She asked a few not-so-important questions imdiately. After that, she turned herself bashfully.
"Actually, it was my oversight! As a newcor to Shengjing, I should have been the one to host elder sister. However, I’ve been quite busy recently. Once I get a chance, I’ll personally extend the invitation to elder sister."
"As long as you invite elder sister, I will surely arrive as soon as I receive invite!"
After Mrs. Zhang left cheerfully, Su Pan’er received invitations from Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liew, who she t on the ship. Though their excuses were dissimilar, Su Pan’er agreed to all of them.
It remains to be seen whether these people are worth interacting with, which they would discuss when Qin Yi returns.
However, instead of Qin Yi’s return, another person arrived by noon.
Looking at the noblewoman with tears in her eyes standing in front of her, stricken with silliness and dentia, Su Pan’er couldn’t help but wonder.
However, seeing the resemblance of her face to Imperial Consort Hua, Su Pan’er guessed her identity imdiately.
Could she be the mother of her original body?
As this thought crossed her mind, Su Pan’er’s heart trembled. A sentint not her own surged from her inner heart. Like the consciousness of the body she currently possesses awakening, tears stread from her eyes at once.
"Jie’er, are you my Jie’er? Woo woo... I’ve missed you so much, mother is at fault... It wasn’t intentional to abandon you, mother is at fault..."
Young Mrs. Liu, her mother, upon seeing Su Pan’er in tears, broke into an uncontrollable flood of tears. She held Su Pan’er and wouldn’t stop crying.
Su Pan’er stayed stiff, almost unable to move.
After quite a while, she slowly reached for the other party’s hand.
Just as she made contact, she instantly felt the physical condition of the other party.
Truly as Liu Zikang had said, years of depression had resulted in poor health. The woman had damaged her eyesight oh too much weeping, she probably saw the world through a murky haze.
The principle she had been holding all along to not recognize the Liu Family was suddenly shattered. She was filled with bitterness.
"Stop crying, your eyes are not good, you mustn’t cry anymore."
Young Mrs. Liu vehently shook her head, "Okay, no more crying... I’m happy! Finally seeing my Jie’er standing right in front of , I’m happy...woo woo..."
She covered her mouth to stifle another bout of intense sobbing.
Her tears flowed freely, seemingly inexhaustible, as if they cost her nothing.
After crying for quite a while, Young Mrs. Liu finally stopped. She took Su Pan’er’s hand and confessed the guilt she had been carrying all these years.
"I only thought about driving away to save my life then, I didn’t even realize when you fell off the carriage. Since those years, despite constantly missing you, I directed all my guilt towards Jin’er. This spoiled her from a young age and caused her to..."
Speaking of this, tears welled up once again in Young Mrs. Liu’s eyes.
Su Pan’er’s gaze flickered slightly, "Do I have a younger sister? Where is she now?"
"She... She is, she’s gone..."
Young Mrs. Liu’s face was filled with panic. She quickly stood up, turning her back to Su Pan’er, "I suddenly rembered so urgent matters at ho that need my attention. I’ll co to see you again later. I’ll bring so useful things for my little maternal grandchild. You should rest well and maintain your pregnancy health. I will definitely co back in a couple of days!"
After finishing her sentence, she fled in panic!
She nearly tripped twice. Luckily, her nanny was competent; she helped her onto the carriage and they left.
Su Pan’er opened her mouth to speak several tis, but ultimately said nothing.
Did the original body’s sister, Liu Lijin, have any secrets?
When Brother Ye and the others returned from court, she would need to ask them about this matter.
However, she had to wait until midnight for them to return.
Two drunk n staggered back with the help of servants.
Su Pan’er quickly instructed the servants to prepare a sobering soup for them.
Despite being completely drunk, both of them were in high spirits. However, Qin Yi was incessantly rambling nonsense, insisting on cuddling with her, which made Su Pan’er extrely embarrassed.
"Stop it!"
Seeing that Qin Yi was acting out of line, Su Pan’er slapped him straight away and shoved a bowl of sobering soup into his hand.
She then turned to Ye Han with an awkward smile, "Brother Ye, what happened to you guys?"
"It’s a happy occasion."
Ye Han’s usual serious and icy countenance had softened. His face was flushed, erasing his usual coldness.
"This morning, I took my brother-in-law to the morning court session. Everyone was curious about his identity. After court, they wanted him to host a banquet. Considering it would be beneficial for his future career as an official, I agreed to go to Jufu Building for a drink. They all forced him to drink and that’s how he ended up completely drunk. Even I, who was supposed to prevent him from drinking too much, also ended up in a daze."
So that’s what happened!
Su Pan’er couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at Qin Yi, who had drunk the sobering soup and was now dozing off on the side of the table, her face flushed with embarrassnt.
"Brother Ye, you should drink the sobering soup too. Otherwise, you might have a headache tomorrow morning."
"Alright."
Ye Han downed the sobering soup in one gulp, put down the bowl, and looked at her seriously, "Sister, the mansion His Majesty arranged for you, my people have already cleaned and arranged it. You should be able to move in within a couple of days. In the anti, you can stay here. If you need anything, feel free to ntion it to ."
Su Pan’er nodded in agreent, "Even if Brother Ye hadn’t ntioned this, I would not hesitate to ask for your help. We are like siblings sworn to treat each other like family; I will not be polite with you!"
