Chapter 338: Chapter 337: Pan’er angrily slaps Sikong_1
Su Pan’er coldly watched him kneel: "So, after such humiliation, a simple apology can solve everything? Lord Su truly has a talent! I just wonder whether Lord Su would still be so calm when he experiences the same humiliation."
"Doctor Su has a point! Lord Su Sikong, you, you are simply disgraceful, losing face as a parent official!"
Magistrate Cao was clearly upset: "As the presiding official, I decree you to forfeit a year’s salary and add a hundred acres of good land as compensation for Qin Yi. All must be handed over within three days at the latest. Can you do it? Hmm!"
"I can, I can..."
Lord Su stammered.
"Oh!"
Su Pan’er suddenly screamed.
Everyone was shocked.
Moving swiftly, she delivered a hard slap to Lord Su’s face. His panda-like face started to swell visibly.
Snap!
The crisp sound of the slap startled everyone!
"Doctor Su, what is...?"
Magistrate Cao asked, looking confused.
"Oh my, a poisonous spider! Such a big one! It actually crawled right up to your face, Lord Su!"
Su Pan’er held up the dead spider in her hand and feigned surprise: "This kind of spider is extremely poisonous. If its venom sticks to your skin, your face will slowly ulcerate. If not promptly treated, not only will your face be corroded by the venom, your life could also be in danger...it’s fortunate I discovered it, otherwise you would have been in trouble..."
She had the demeanor of one who had done a great service.
However, it drove Lord Su half to death: "Did you...did this on purpose?"
"Why, Uncle, what are you talking about? I risked my own safety to save your life! Otherwise, you might have ended up with just half a face."
Su Pan’er feigned innocence: "Being busy recently, and also having traveled quite a bit yesterday, I woke up early today due to someone’s disturbance. So I might have been a bit heavy-handed. Please forgive me!"
Inwardly, she sneered!
Since you had the audacity to harm Qin Yi, you should be prepared to suffer! He just tore Qin Yi’s clothes, and instead of making a big deal out of it she saved him, wasn’t she kind enough?
Jun Ruochen’s lips twitched slightly. This Su Pan’er was indeed a daredevil character with strong affection and hatred!
However, Jun Ruoxue suddenly started to laugh.
The room was filled with her delicate laughter.
Magistrate Cao, with his mouth wide open, was totally unprepared for Su Pan’er’s audacious action!
After a while, he finally closed his mouth and coughed, trying to mediate: "Lord Su, Su Pan’er was anxious to save someone, we mustn’t overthink this, please don’t be too upset."
"But I...she . . . she . . ."
Lord Su was so angry he was at loss for words. He suspected that Su Pan’er deliberately sought revenge for Qin Yi’s humiliation. But her claim of saving someone was seen as noble, and was above reproach.
"Third Auntie! Third Auntie, woo woo... Third Auntie!"
Just then, a mournful cry could be heard from outside the house. Qin Shuan’er, tear-streaked, appeared at the doorway. Upon seeing Su Pan’er, her eyes lit up and she hurried into Su Pan’er’s arms.
"Third Auntie, he...he bullied me...woo woo woo..."
"Shuan’er, don’t cry. Tell third auntie how he bullied you? I’ll teach him a lesson later!"
Picking up Shuang’er, Su Pan’er assured her.
Shuang’er has always been well-behaved. Why would she throw a tantrum with so many people around? Could it be...
"He stole my painting, it’s mine! Woo woo..."
Qin Shuan’er buried her head in Su Pan’er’s neck, crying and wiping her tears frequently, while whispering softly, "Save Third Uncle, third auntie..."
Su Pan’er’s eyes flash with a hint of anxiety, yet her face remained warm and indulgent.
She bid an awkward goodbye to the others, "Children are ignorant, Lord Cao, I will return shortly."
"It’s fine, you go ahead!"
Magistrate Cao waved his hand indifferently.
Su Sikong, watching Su Pan’er’s retreating figure, furrowed his brows, instinctively wanting to follow.
"Lord Su, how does it feel to be slapped in the face? Since your business with Sister Pan’er is over, I suppose it’s time for us to settle our accounts!"
Jun Ruoxue suddenly stopped him, her eyes full of playful smiles, "Previously at the county government office, there were clearly no thieves in my garden. But Su Sikong, you insisted on searching my garden, my house, and even my followers. In the end, even my carriage was not spared! Have you ever considered that your actions tarnish my reputation?"
Su Sikong’s face turned from pale to green, then to purple, as though it became a fuel shop.
He instinctively rebutted, "Miss Jun, whatever you say is correct. I’m of low rank, so naturally, I dare not argue."
"Well done, Su Sikong, you’re like Zhu Bajie brandishing a rake - turning the tables to your advantage!"
Jun Ruoxue was furious, "Who was it that used military equipment without the County Magistrate’s handwritten order?"
She was relentless, backing Su Sikong into a corner.
"Who ordered to block the whole city, causing panic amongst the commoners?"
"And who ordered searches throughout the city, disturbing the people incessantly?"
"All these incidents, oh my dear Lord Su, please enlighten Lord Cao and my brother today! I wonder how Lord Su serves faithfully, how much he loves the people like his children!"
Upon finishing, Jun Ruoxue huffed heavily.
Su Sikong was so pressured by her huff that he collapsed into a corner, unable to respond.
As Jun Ruoxue finished speaking, an icy expression crossed Jun Ruochen’s face.
Magistrate Cao’s face was also somber as he watched Su Sikong with icy eyes, "Lord Su, is what Miss Jun said true!"
"It’s not like that. I made an erroneous decision in my urgency to capture the culprit..."
Su Sikong tried to defend himself, but was interrupted by Jun Ruoxue.
"Humph! You’re making excuses in front of clear facts. Aren’t you afraid of further charges? I suggest you think carefully before you speak!"
Su Sikong’s retort was choked off by her words, he lowered his head in silence.
Seeing this, Magistrate Cao understood everything.
He immediately ordered Jun Ruochen, "Investigate! Thoroughly investigate this case for me, I want all the details! I want to know exactly what happened!"
Jun Ruochen immediately bowed, "As you wish!"
He then rose to his feet and signaled to the yamen runner, "Take him! Arrest Su Sikong and detain him in the prisoner’s cart! No one is to visit him without permission, and absolutely no private communication!"
"What? Jun, you’re just seeking revenge!"
Su Sikong panicked at these words, he pointed at Jun Ruochen and cursed, "You’re just a mere eighth-grade County Magistrate, you have no right to punish me. Mind your step or I’ll report you to the Eighth Master..."
"If he doesn’t have the right, then this imperial envoy does! Humph!"
These words stirred Magistrate Cao’s anger.
