Chapter 529 Cantaloupe seeds.
Of course, no one from the Lin family was worried about what was going to happen to Xing Bengt, the man was evil himself and though it was a pity that even the wives and the children were going to be executed along with him, there wasn’t much they could do about it, such was the law and their family had no way to plead for those who weren’t guilty.” I will say goodbye to you guys here,” said Lord Fei as soon as he stepped out of the Yamen, with an apologetic smile, he looked at Su Wan. ” I am sorry, my dear but your grandmother’s sickness has flared up again and I can’t leave her alone at the moment.”
After her birthday banquet madam, Fei fell sick because she was over exhausted. Though she managed to stay warm and avoided the risk of catching a chill, her body was fragile, to begin with, and during her birthday banquet, she went against the doctor’s orders and pushed herself to entertain everyone who came to congratulate her, of course, Lord Fei tried to stop her but his wife was adamant saying that she wanted to make the most out of what was left of her life, her words had been upsetting but in the end what she said was the truth, the two of them were already so old, it was just a matter of days when one of them——
Lord Fei was still thinking about it when Su Wan walked toward him and took his wrinkled hands in hers. ” Grandpa what are you saying? Do you really take us as outsiders? Why will you apologise for such a thing? Just like you, I too am worried about Grandma, if not for you stopping me I would have already shifted to your house to take care of grandma.”
Su Wan’s words were sincere, she was indeed really worried about Madam Fei’s health. The old madam was really too frail, she only stepped out of her room for six hours and yet she ended up falling sick and that too so badly that it has been more than a month. Su Wan wanted to meet madam Fei and check up on her, though she was no doctor, she could still help madam Fei recuperate but the Fei mansion had so many servants and a physician as well, compared to her they were the ones who were professional that was why Su Wan never really insisted to Lord Fei to bring her to madam Fei, after all, it was madam Fei who refused to see her apparently the woman had a childish temper and was very particular about her looks, she didn’t want to let Su Wan see her when she was lying on the bed, looking like a mess—— thus, the delay.
” Aiye, I have said the same to your grandma.” Lord Fei shook his head when he remembered the childish temper his wife threw at him when he told her that he wanted their granddaughter to move into their house and take care of her. His wife only heard half of what he wanted to say and then exploded calling him a scheming man—— saying how he wanted to take advantage of the situation and win their granddaughter over to his side, he could still hear her ringing voice in his head.
’ Old Fei you are very good! I knew it, you are trying to make an impression on our granddaughter by showing this messy and ugly side of me? But let me tell you that’s never going to happen!’

Lord Fei had a headache that day, he tried to talk nicely to his wife but the latter was just not willing to listen to him. In the end, he was the one who had no choice but to listen to her.
Su Wan smiled, she knew her grandmother’s feisty and childish temper. She had once gone to the Fei mansion to look for madam Fei, but this grandmother of hers was really —— naughty, she hid under the bed and told her handmaiden to tell Su Wan that she wasn’t at home back then Su Wan was standing right in front of her room. But since she didn’t want to embarrass the old lady, she simply left the chicken porridge that she cooked in the hand of Madam Fei’s maid and leave. “It’s alright, Grandfather but in case Grandmother changes her mind remember to call me, I will be there as soon as I can.”
” Good child,” patting Su Wan’s silky hair, Lord Fei praised her and while he was praising her, he sensed five incensed gazes directed at him. When he looked up he was surprised to see that the five Lin brothers were staring at his hand enviously——
Lord Fei: “…” was this necessary? It was after all just a head pat!
But he didn’t comment on it, after staying with the Lin brothers for so long, he knew that they would even get jealous of a male cat, at least he was still human. ” Oh, Wan Wan before I forget——here you go” taking out a crisp packet that smelled of the ocean, Lord Fei handed it to Su Wan.
When Su Wan took a look inside the package, her eyes started to shine with excitement. What else can it be but melon seeds!
” I didn’t know what kind you wanted so I had my men pick one packet of every kind,” explained Lord Fei. ” Since its summer, they are quite popular, so it wasn’t trouble, to get the seeds of the crane, cantaloupe and honeydew—— these are the new ones that just started to sell, so I had these picked up for you, but the shopkeeper warned me that it won’t be easy to take care of these. If you want to grow sweet and juicy cantaloupes, you need to take care proper care of them.”
Su Wan smiled as she nodded. ” Don’t worry Grandpa, just wait, I will grow the sweetest cantaloupes!”
