"Think, how could I not think?"
Su Pan’er’s tone carried three points of playful malice and seven points of nonchalance, her eyes revealing a lazy ease.
She glanced at her mother: "I’ve already thought it through. If we die, let our family die together and go to the Underworld; we can still reunite underground, which wouldn’t be a bad thing!"
"..."
Mrs. Su-Hua was speechless, looking up at the heavens. Although what Su Pan’er had said was unpleasant, it was also candid.
"Always with your twisted logic..."
She wanted to continue, but outside, a commotion and barking dogs interrupted.
Su Pan’er’s brows knitted slightly before she called out loudly to Xiren: "Go out and see what is actually happening outside?"
Xiren responded from outside the house, but before she could leave, she saw an old figure rush in.
"You damn girl, you harm-bringer! For our Qin Family to have married a demon fairy like you, it has been nothing but a curse. Get out! You get out of here, go away!"
Mrs. Qin-Li was holding a broom in her hand, poised to strike Su Pan’er.
But she was blocked by Xiren: "Old Madam, what are you doing? Put the broom down right now..."
Another servant ca in a panic: "Madam, many clan mbers have co outside, saying they want to evict the master and madam from the Qin Clan and take back the house we currently live in... They say, it belongs to the Qin clan communities!"
Su Pan’er didn’t speak, but Mrs. Su-Hua jumped up first: "Outrageous, this bullying is intolerable! Yesterday they were fawning all over us, and today they’ve co to kick us while we’re down? Do they really think our Pan’er is made of mud, to be pushed around and shaped as they please? Watch teach them a lesson, if I don’t, I’m not a Su!"
Her sleeves rolled up, she stord out in a fury.
Su Pan’er’s frown lingered as she watched Qin Yanyan, who could no longer continue her writing, and she gently patted her hand, tenderly instructing her: "Do you want to stay inside the house, or co out with Mother to face them?"
Even though she knew that keeping Yan Yan inside was the best option at this ti, she still chose to ask for Yan Yan’s choice.
Qin Yanyan, tilting her little head, looked at her grandmother, who was still shouting and cursing, then stood up and took Su Pan’er’s hand without hesitation, her clear eyes shining like black gems.
"Mother, Yan Yan wants to be with you. We will face it together!"
"Good! Our Little Yan Yan has grown sensible, let’s go!"
Su Pan’er ignored Mrs. Qin-Li, who was still hopping mad, brushed past her, and pulled Qin Yanyan out of the room.
In the courtyard, the Qin clan was packed together, everyone wielding kitchen knives, iron shovels, poles, plows, and other tools, angrily ready to storm in!
The chaotic scene was almost impossible to contain, the dogs barked wildly, their necks firmly locked with iron chains, making it impossible for them to escape. They could only growl at the crowd with bared teeth.
The servants and Qin Yi’s personal soldiers tried their best to resist the crowd’s onslaught; since Su Pan’er had not ordered otherwise, they didn’t dare to be ruthless. After a skirmish, they had only managed to disarm these people, without seriously harming anyone.
"Silence!"
As soon as Su Pan’er appeared, she overpowered the room with a shout!
The scene went silent in an instant.
The crowd turned their gaze toward the figure of Su Pan’er as she walked in.
Seeing this, a personal soldier quickly ran to Su Pan’er, "Madam, these people have forced their way in. It is our incompetence; we could not stop them..."
"It’s all right, you step back."
Su Pan’er glanced at him and then continued to walk forward, holding the small hand of Qin Yanyan.
Her steps were graceful, her face even adorned with a light and fitting smile, stepping forward steadily.
Her stride wasn’t large, but it seed to hit a rhythm that made everyone reluctant to et her gaze. Instead, they subconsciously made way for her, allowing her to walk directly into the center of the crowd.
Mrs. Su-Hua, originally lagging behind, had her eyes turn red upon seeing this and quickly walked a few steps faster to catch up with Su Pan’er’s pace, moving to her other side and walking shoulder to shoulder with her.
Even if they were to die, they, mother and daughter, would die together!
Su Pan’er silently felt the deepest love from her mother, and her lips turned up into a bright smile!
Her gaze fell on several strong n in the crowd who were causing the most trouble, "Who instructed you to co here today?"
The strong n subconsciously shrank back, then started to pass the bla among themselves.
Finally, a voice hidden in the crowd shouted, "No one told us to co here, we ca on our own will! You traitorous officials don’t deserve to live in the Qin family’s house, and you’re unworthy of being Qin family mbers, everyone should execute you!"
"We of the Qin family don’t welco you, get out, get out of the Qin family, get out of Luoyan Village!"
"Get out of the Qin family, get out of Luoyan Village!" "Get out of the Qin family, get out of Luoyan Village!"
...
As the raucous noise grew louder and the crowd’s anger, which had just subsided, surged again, Su Pan’er suddenly burst into laughter.
Su Pan’er’s eyes were piercing as she quickly locked onto the voice hiding in the crowd that was shouting the loudest.
She pointed straight at him, "You, if I’m not mistaken, you are Qin Bing, the direct grandson of the new Clan Leader of the Qin clan, aren’t you? Did you bring these people here with the Clan Leader’s approval today?"
If Su Pan’er had not understood the reason before, the mont she saw this person in the crowd, she imdiately thought of the malicious gaze the eldest son of the main branch had given her a few days ago. It seed it was their retaliation!
Qin Bing had not expected to be identified by Su Pan’er while hiding in the crowd and turned red in the face at that mont.
But seeing the surrounding clan mbers looking towards him, he quickly straightened his back, and with an upright neck faced her, "So what if he did, so what if he didn’t? The Clan Leader is driven to such asures; if we continue to let you live here, it will inevitably bring further harm to our entire clan. Not locking you up and throwing you in the pig cage is already showing you rcy. And yet you dare to be so brazen here!"
"It seems you, the future Clan Leader, are quite arrogant!"
Su Pan’er scoffed coldly, "You want to throw us in the pig cage? That will depend on whether you have the ability to do so!"
If it really ca to a fight, these mbers of the Qin clan communities were coming to et their death.
Su Pan’er wished she could wipe them all out! Rembering the Clan Leader’s grip on her hand before his death, entrusting her with that envelope and begging her to protect the Qin clan, she forcibly suppressed the sudden surge of killing intent that had burgeoned within her.
Old Clan Leader, you really have left a difficult problem!
"You don’t have a say in this matter!"
Qin Bing waved to the people by his side, and the crowd began to close in around Su Pan’er.
Su Pan’er’s eyes narrowed slightly, staying firmly fixed on the surrounding people.
Qin Yanyan, on the other hand, opened her pitch-black eyes wide, committing the expressions of the crowd to mory.
Mrs. Su-Hua’s eyes were filled with rage, wishing she could be the first to rush forward and scratch these people’s faces!
She scolded furiously, "You despicable knaves without a shred of conscience! When you were crying out, begging my Pan’er for help, why didn’t you say these words? Now, seeing the tide turning against you, you co to pick on the won and children, do you have any sha at all? Huh! Frankly speaking, I’m ashad for you..."
