In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 322: Chapter 321: Escape!_1

"It’s you! What are you doing here?"

Su Sikong struggled to open his squinting eyes, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

He dared not take Jun Ruoxue lightly. In other words, he didn’t dare underestimate the Jun siblings.

His mood, which was already bad, deteriorated further when he saw Jun Ruoxue approaching.

"Miss Jun, aren’t you afraid of meeting any danger while walking around in the middle of the night? Really now...tch!"

"What do you mean, Lord Su?"

Jun Ruoxue’s pretty face tightened, her eyes getting cold: "This lady would have loved to stay quietly in my house. But with all your fires and yelling, it’s deafening! This lady is neither deaf nor blind, can’t I be disturbed?"

"So, it seems I have disturbed Miss Jun. I apologize for this!"

Su Sikong had no intention of arguing, he gave Jun Ruoxue a fist salute and turned to leave.

"Hold on! Lord Su, where are you heading?"

"Miss Jun, it is strange of you to ask. Naturally, I am heading to apprehend those bandits. These two villains are audacious and reckless, daring to invade the county government office, commit murder and arson. I will spare no effort to bring them to justice. Could it be that Miss Jun disagrees with this? Haha!"

Su Sikong gave a sardonic laugh.

"This lady naturally has no objections. However, Lord Su seems to be mobilizing without a command?"

Jun Ruoxue widened her big dewy glistening eyes in surprise: "Has the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty changed today? How come I didn’t hear about it? When did it become legal for the deputy county magistrate to impose a curfew and conduct house-to-house searches without the county magistrate’s command?"

As the deputy county magistrate, Su Sikong had the authority to administer the granary but needed the county magistrate’s command to mobilize the troops. This rule was established by the Imperial Court to ensure mutual supervision and avoid the risk of accumulation of power.

When Jun Ruoxue pointed this out, Su Sikong’s complexion worsened.

"Miss Jun, there is no need to worry about this. Tomorrow, I will personally explain the situation to Lord Jun and apologize for my wrongdoing! Humph!"

Having said this, he ignored Jun Ruoxue and strode away.

"Lord Su, wait. Lord Su..."

Jun Ruoxue attempted to stop him, but she was held back by Su Yue’er: "Sister Xue’er, these matters are the affairs of them officials. We better not meddle. Speaking of which, it’s your first visit to my place, Sister Xue’er. How about we go inside and chat?"

Su Yue’er with her charming voice laughed, taking Jun Ruoxue’s arm and leading her towards the house.

"Who is your sister? I am much younger than you! Are you trying to pretend to be younger in front of me?"

Jun Ruoxue did not mince her words with Su Yue’er.

Su Yue’er’s delightful laugh froze on her face, but she soon laughed it off: "Alright then, Younger Sister Xue’er, let’s move inside and chat privately."

"Who wants to talk to you privately? You have no relation to me, quit playing these meaningless games with me. Don’t you know I find it sickening!"

Jun Ruoxue held her head high: "Whatever devious ideas you’re harbouring, don’t think others are fools who can’t see through them. Quit pretending. Zi Lan, let’s go!"

She called out to her followers and turned around to make her exit.

Su Yue’er was left so angry that her face cycled through shades of white and green. After a long while, she stamped her foot: "She’s just got a good family background! What’s so remarkable about it? Shameless!"

With that, she turned and headed back to her house.

Sitting for a long while at her vanity, she was unable to quell her anger.

Her maidservants’ frightened appearances only added fuel to her anger!

She couldn’t help but glared at the few maidservants with resentment.

Complaining that the tea was too cold or too hot, she deliberately made things difficult for the maidservants.

A timid maidservant was scared witless. A tremble almost caused her to spill the clear tea onto Su Yue’er’s skirt.

Su Yue’er immediately stood up. A slap landed on the maid’s face, "Are you blind? Is this how you work? Quick, move! I do not want to see you!"

The maidservant retreated with a sullen face, not daring to utter a word, covering her face.

Su Yue’er still felt indignant. She smashed the teacups and teapot one by one until she vented all her anger.

Brushing away the loose strands of hair blocking her view, these maidservants were increasingly taking her, their young lady, lightly!

Wait, something seemed wrong in the house. Had she forgotten something?

Su Yue’er was taken aback. She slowly reached her hand to her head, and her face turned pale; she began frantically searching around.

"Where is my jade hairpin? How did I lose it? Who saw my jade hairpin?"

She was suddenly panicked!

The significance of this jade hairpin had long since exceeded its original purpose. If she really lost it, it would be troublesome!

Despite turning the entire house upside down, she still could not find the jade hairpin. Only then did she force herself to calm down and carefully recollect the course of events.

The familiar figure from before again emerged in her mind.

Could it be...

Thinking to this point, Su Yue’er’s face went even paler.

"Quickly! Let the master know; I have something important to discuss with him!"

The maidservants immediately panicked and started searching for Su Sikong.

At this moment, Su Sikong was leading a manhunt for the two men dressed in black.

He swore to capture them and tear them to pieces!

"We have to find them! One of them is injured and can’t have run far! Search everywhere; spare no effort, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find them for me!"

He roared in fury!

The streets were full of running soldiers, the lantern brightness revealing flash after flash as countless doors were beaten upon. The sound of barking dogs, shouts, reprimands, and wailing... all kinds of noises intertwined.

While everyone on the street was frantically searching, Jun Ruoxue returned to her courtyard with a heavy heart.

"Miss, regarding this situation..."

Zi Lan quietly approached Jun Ruoxue and queried.

"It’s nothing, let me think, all of you leave!"

She waved her hand to dismiss everyone, her face full of worry as she murmured, "This is terrible! I wonder if Sister Pan’er managed to escape successfully? What should we do now..."

She paced anxiously around the room.

"Xue’er, Xue’er!"

A hushed calling suddenly echoed.

Jun Ruoxue was startled and hurried to the window, spotting two dark figures crouched quietly in the corner of the garden.

Seeing Jun Ruoxue appear at the window, Su Pan’er managed to smile weakly at her, "Xue’er..."

"Sister Pan’er..."

Jun Ruoxue was beyond excited, nearly shouting in surprise, but she quickly realized something was wrong and lowered her voice, "Lord Su is nearly turning the place upside down outside, I never thought you’d be here. Quickly, come inside and we’ll talk."
