Assassin Farmer

Chapter 140.2

Chapter 140.2

Xin Lan was doing Bai He’s job, which was to follow and take care of Su Shuilian. Especially after Yang Jing Zhi had diagnosed her pregnancy, Xin Lan had never left her side. Bai He was sent to the bedroom in the West wing to work with Liang-momo and take care of the twins. The wet-nurses had finished their job and gone home since the kids had begun to eat porridge. 

Her first plan was to let Bai He and Liang-momo take care of the twins and she didn’t need a maid. However, Chun Lan was so worried she had specially asked for an order from Prince Jing’s mansion. She had reported to the mansion that they needed more staff since the private mansion had been expanded. The Elder Wangfei immediately chose and sent three more maids and servants to help the private mansion. 

So, Chun Lan had arranged the handy Xin Lan to serve Shuilian. If Xue Li didn’t ask about her, Su Shuilian wouldn’t know that Xin Lan, who looked around fourteen years old, was actually almost seventeen, an age where most would look for their marriage prospects. 

“Xin Lan is already used to work. My Lady and Guye always care about me, and my job isn’t hard at all.” Xin Lan answered in a serious tone. It wasn’t hard and she even felt relaxed. Or, because her surroundings had changed, she felt more comfortable.  translated by puretl dot com / do not repost!

“Mm, Xin Lan, have you ever thought about your future?” Su Shuilian carefully chose her words. 

“My Lady, you mean?” Xin Lan was so surprised. She lifted her head to check Su Shuilian then looked down again, feeling a little anxious. She didn’t do anything wrong, did she? Her Ladyship wanted to expel her? Was it because she had said something she shouldn’t when she welcomed Guye’s parents? But if Her Ladyship wanted to punish her, she didn’t need to wait until today, which was ten days later?

“Don’t overthink. I’m only casually asking.” Seeing Xin Lan pale, Su Shuilian knew that the girl was overthinking. “I just want to ask… Xin Lan, do you have anyone you like? If you don’t, I have a good man I consider suitable for you. Of course, I’m asking for your opinion.”  Su Shuilian gulped. As she didn’t know where she should start, she decided to frankly ask the other what her father-in-law wanted her to ask.

“My Lady!” Xin Lan was stunned. She had never thought that her elegant, mild-looking Lady now wanted to match her with someone. Then, she pondered. Chun Lan had been in love with Chief Guard Xiao during her time serving Su Shuilian and married him afterward. So, her Lady wasn’t unfamiliar with the matchmaking work? Er… No, how could she sneakily assess her Young Lady like that!? 

As Xin Lan was looking at Su Shuilian with an odd face, Su Shuilian felt somewhat embarrassed. “It just slipped out of my mouth. I didn’t and I would never force you to do anything. Your husband is the one who will live with you for the rest of your life. It’s true that you should think about it very carefully. You don’t need to give me a rush answer.” 

“Err… My Lady, please forgive this maid’s overreacting behavior. Because Xin Lan has never thought about getting married. I enjoy my current life.” 

“But Xin Lan, even if you're at the age where we need to talk about getting married, you shouldn’t rush and make a life-time decision like that.” No matter what, getting married and having kids were important things all women had been waiting for. Unless they had greatly suffered from some relationship like Jian Yue, no one would have determinedly thrown away the happiness they would likely have. Like Jiang Ying Yun, until now, had never given up on her idea of getting married. She had developed some feelings for Si Luo and would go to Fan Hua Town often just to talk to him. However, her feelings were not reciprocated. It takes two to tango, so Su Shuilian and A Yao were helpless. 

“My Lady…” Xin Lan felt touched when Su Shuilian reminded her. Before working for Prince Jing’s mansion, she used to work for several powerful families. She had seen enough wives and concubines fight against each other. She had no hope in marriage, let alone waiting or yearning for one. translated by puretl dot com / do not repost!

“Actually, the one I wanted to introduce to you is Jian Heng. I think you’ve met him several times. He’s a calm and somewhat introverted man. He’s twenty-six this year but he has never been with any woman. I think he’s not flirty or irresponsible. You should consider him carefully… Xin Lan, I do hope that people by my side all have a place they call home.” Su Shuilian talked to her then excused herself that she needed to take a lunch nap, asking Xin Lan to return to her room. Jian Heng? Heavens! He was ten years older than her. Although people always said that the older husband would know how to love and take care of his wife better. However, remembering that man’s still, emotionless face, she couldn’t connect him with the phrase “love and care about his wife.” 

“Hey you… girl…Bring this to the room on the left in Bamboo Garden for me. If you’re free, help that man wrap his broken arm. I got something to do. Go, hurry!” As soon as Xin Lan walked out of the main house, Xue Li hadded her a basin of clean water and a bag of bandage and ointment. Though she didn’t have a clue, Xing Lan was a kind girl, so she hurried to come to the room on the left of the Bamboo Garden. 

“Father!” Su Shuilian heard Xue Li’s voice, so she walked out of her room. Leaning against the column in front of her room, she glanced at Xin Lan making her way through the small gate in the West with so many things in her hands. She didn’t know if she should smile or cry, talking, “Father, aren’t you acting too directly? I’ve just talked to her and you immediately created a chance so she and Jian Heng could have a private moment. If… I’m afraid she will blame us.” 

“It’s gonna be fine! I’ll bear all the responsibility!” Xue Li waved his hand naturally. “I heard that your brother’s here?” 

“Yes, he’s in the Pine Garden. I guess he’s with A Yao now.” 

“That kid got the news so fast!” Xue Li snickered. 

“What news?” Su Shuilian didn’t get it. 

“Hehe, nothing. I’m going to find him to watch the fun.” Xue Li said no more as he walked to the Pine Garden, leaving Su Shuilian, who was still confused, behind.
