In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!-Chapter 1155 - 1067: How Many Times Can You Save Them?
"A document?"
The officer hastily took it with both hands and looked at it carefully. Seeing that it was indeed a genuine document, he then handed it back to Su Panโer with both hands and gestured to let us through. ๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฅ.๐๐๐
Su Panโer steered the carriage out of the city gate, following the embankment of the moat. After traveling more than two miles, she turned the carriage onto a small path.
By the time she stopped the carriage, there was not a soul in sight.
"All right, get off here!"
Su Panโer alighted from her carriage, carefully surveying her surroundings, and shook the horsewhip in her hand with an exceptionally indifferent tone.
The quiet around her was broken only by the ceaseless falling of snowflakes from the skyโnothing else stirred. This place, along the small road, led upwards towards Huangjue Temple and Quiet Cloud Nunnery and could also take one up the mountain. It was a good spot, twisting around it was the official road for fleeing to outer territories.
"Whatโs wrongโdonโt you plan to get out, or would you like me to personally invite you out of the carriage?"
Su Panโer spoke again, suddenly turning her head to look at the carriage.
The empty carriage suddenly rippled with a layer of invisible, water-like waves. When the waves dispersed, they revealed two figures in the carriage, a person and a pig.
The rascal pig lay half-closed eyes within the basket of green vegetables, seemingly asleep yet watching the person inside the carriage.
Jun Ruoxue was pale, lying in the carriage wrapped in a mink-fur long robe. At hearing the words, she struggled to open her eyes and, gritting her teeth, tried to get up. Clad in the long mink-fur robe and clutching her belly, she carefully stepped down from the carriage.
Facing Su Panโer again, many expressions flitted across Jun Ruoxueโs faceโexcitement, guilt, confusion, hesitation, inner conflict... a whirlpool of emotions nearly overwhelmed her.
"Why... why did you save me?"
Jun Ruoxue bit her lip, unable to understand how things had come to this point.
Initially, her people had rescued her from Lord Zhangโs men and planned to take her and Princess Anping out of the Imperial City overnight, but she suffered from fetal gas and any further reckless movement endangered the child within her.
Of course, she refused and chose to hide in the shadows, waiting for a miracle to happen.
Regrettably, the miracle did not occur, and instead, those sent to lead the pursuers away did not return. Cold and hungry, with fierce pains in her belly, she was dazed and nearly resigned to meeting her endโwhen she suddenly heard noise from outside.
Before she could feel relieved, she saw the person she least wanted to encounter!
"Save you?"
Su Panโer methodically adjusted the cloak on her body, shaking the accumulated snow from it and brushing it clean before putting it back on her head.
Only then did she turn to look at her. "No, youโre mistaken! I did not save you."
A look of puzzlement flickered in Jun Ruoxueโs eyes.
"The one I saved is Younger Sister Xueโer from Yongze Countyโthe lively, endearing, helpful girl who was like a sister to me!"
After speaking impassively, Su Panโer scrutinized her from head to toe, then shifted her gaze away, "Unfortunately..."
Jun Ruoxueโs complexion turned even paler, her ashen lips quivering without producing a sound.
"In those days, she helped me escape from Yongze County Town; now, I have aided her escape from the Imperial City. With this life-saving debt, we are even..."
As Su Panโer finished speaking, Jun Ruoxueโs body swayed, almost falling, and she quickly steadied herself against the carriage.
But she said nothing.
These words shattered the last shred of hope in her heart, and she couldnโt describe the feeling inside. In her youthful ignorance, she had been as good to Su Panโer as she had been jealous of her in later years.
Even when Su Panโer had appeared unexpectedly, she had thought the other woman had come to take her life. But instead, Su Panโer administered acupuncture to her, secured her pregnancy, and then transported her out of the Imperial City via carriage.
She did not trust these words she was hearing, but alas, she was muted by a pressure point and couldnโt speak even if she wished.
Now, with those utterly ruthless words, she, who had always received an aristocratic family education, found herself utterly at a loss for words.
Su Panโer had no grand expectations for her to say anything, her gaze moving downward as she once more focused on her belly.
"Although Iโve administered acupuncture for you, it can only offer temporary relief. Youโd better stay in bed and find a good doctor to see you."
Once she finished speaking, without waiting for a response, Su Panโer turned and climbed onto the carriage, pulling on the reins to urge the horse, and made a U-turn back.
"Wait!"
As the carriage started moving, Jun Ruoxue hurriedly chased after it for a few steps, but she couldnโt keep up with the carriageโs speed, so she had no choice but to shout loudly, "Sister Panโer, thank you!"
The carriage showed no sign of stopping, and it was unclear if the person on the carriage heard her as it continued straight ahead, turned onto the main road, and headed back.
Left behind, Jun Ruoxue still stood in her original spot, watching the carriage grow more distant, becoming smaller and smaller, until the carriage took a turn and completely vanished from sight.
"Drive!"
Su Panโer urged the horse forward.
The rascal pig wobbled out of the wicker basket and sat next to Su Panโer, fluttering its fan-like pig ears.
"Was going to all this trouble to help her worth it?"
"Thereโs no question of worth, only a clear conscience!"
Su Panโer chuckled softly, "I saved her once, but could I save her a second or third time? If she insists on defying His Majesty, seeking her own demise, thereโs nothing I can do."
"Alright then!"
The rascal pig grunted in its piggy voice, "Humph! Every time you call me out, I end up being the laborer. If it werenโt for Grandpa Pigโs ability to create illusions, making everyone unable to see that woman, could you have brought her out of the city so easily? Humph..."
"Yes, yes, yes, youโre the great hero, your contribution is the most significant, rest assured! I keep all this in mind. Once weโre back, Iโll arrange for a whole roast lamb to be prepared for you, how about that?"
The rascal pig was immediately delighted!
"Thatโs more like it! Heh heh..."
The rascal pigโs eyes whirled around eagerly, "Thereโs one more thing you need to do for Grandpa Pig."
"Whatโs that? Tell me!"
"Heh heh... well, itโs that Grandpa Pig wants to have a bed made, a really big bed that Grandpa Pig can completely stretch out on!"
"Done! Itโs just a bed, after all, Iโll find someone to make it once weโre back."
"It must be bigger than a city wall, otherwise, it wonโt fit Grandpa Pig, heh heh!"
"Itโs possible." She said through gritted teeth.
"I want a splendid and golden bed."
"...Fine!" Su Panโer said through gritted teeth.
"I want such a big bed."
The rascal pig spat out a piece of gold, looking at Su Panโer with hope in its eyes.
Suddenly, Su Panโer burst into severe coughing, followed by a roar, "...Dream on! You damn pig, donโt even think about it!"
The rascal pig shrank its neck a bit.
"No, wait! Canโt I, Grandpa Pig, provide the materials myself? Come on, good Panโer, good Panโer, can we or canโt we? This has been Grandpa Pigโs dream for so many years, you must help me..."
Piercing screams like that of a dying pig emanated from the carriage, causing passersby to turn their heads and stare.
