Chapter 341: Chapter 340: Calling Brother Chen Together? _1
She carefully wiped down his body and fetched clean clothes, meticulously dressing him before quietly lowering the bath curtain to block the outside view.
Turning around, she saw Ke’er and Shuang’er playing merrily with a pig and a dog, their laughter echoing through the air.
"Third auntie, there’s a beautiful sister who asked me to notify you once you’re free," Shuang’er immediately reported as Su Pan’er turned around.
"A beautiful sister? Do you mean Younger Sister Xue’er? Sure, I’ll go right away. You both need to stay here and inform me immediately if anything happens. Understand?"
Su Pan’er said a few more words of caution before she left for the temporary tent where the County Magistrate was staying.
"Sister Pan’er, you’re finally here. Brother Chen and I have been waiting for you. How is Scholar Qin? Is he alright?"
Upon seeing Su Pan’er come over, Jun Ruoxue hastened to greet her.
A sudden jolt of unease hit Su Pan’er, and she involuntarily wrinkled her brows. It seemed that Ruoxue had told Jun Ruochen everything about what had happened at the county government office.
She couldn’t help but peek at Jun Ruochen, noticing that his look was warm and showed no intention of reproach, which finally made her relax.
"Greetings, Lord Magistrate."
Su Pan’er quickly bowed and responded with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Magistrate and Younger Sister Xue’er for your concern. Qin Yi... he is still unconscious, but his condition is no longer life-threatening."
"That’s good to hear. Sister Pan’er, it’s funny how you call me ’Younger Sister Xue’er’ and call my older brother ’Lord Magistrate.’ It just sounds odd!"
Jun Ruoxue giggled, her eyes sparkling with mischievous intent. "How about this! You should call him Brother Chen too!"
Brother Chen?
Both Su Pan’er and Jun Ruochen furrowed their brows, exchanging a glance before quickly looking away.
Jun Ruochen rubbed his forehead in distress. "Xue’er, don’t be mischievous!"
"Fine, I won’t! I was just trying to lighten the mood because you both looked so serious!"
Jun Ruoxue’s smile bloomed like a radiant flower. "By the way, Sister Pan’er, you haven’t told me how you guys escaped yet! I was worried sick until I saw you. I wanted to ask you right away, but there were other people around. Now that it’s just us, hurry up and tell me! Quickly, quickly!"
She questioned eagerly with a face full of curiosity.
"Actually, there’s not much to tell."
Su Pan’er cracked a small smile. "While you were confronting Su Sikong outside the government office, I took Qin Yi to his study. It was far safer than your garden, which was under everyone’s watchful eyes. Later, I went out to check the situation and saw Su Yue’er again entering your garden to search. She probably never dreamed that we’d hidden in her father’s room by then."
"Later, after Su Yue’er lead a herd of men towards the city gates, I got Qin Yi mixed into a grocery shopping group arranged by Chief Ran. We left the city from the east gate, heading straight for Luoyan Village."
Given Su Sikong’s relentless nature, she figured he would definitely go to Luoyan Village to investigate, which was why she decided to ride straight there with Qin Yi.
Midway, to save time, she chose to abandon the horse and take a shortcut, arriving home before Su Sikong.
This set off a whole series of subsequent events.
Su Pan’er chuckled. "I didn’t expect things to turn out this way at the beginning. Speaking of which, where’s Lord Su? What did he..."
"Oh, him? Magistrate Cao stripped him of his official title and has placed him under arrest!"
Jun Ruoxue giggled uncontrollably.
"What happened?" Su Pan’er was taken aback.
"He was, unsurprisingly, disrespectful to Lord Cao."
Just as Jun Ruochen was about to speak, he was interrupted by Jun Ruoxue. "Magistrate Cao was worried about failing the task given to him by His Majesty, so, of course, he would be very sensitive about this. Unfortunately, Lord Su repeatedly pushed his buttons! So Lord Su tasted the bitter fruit of his own making. It’s true, those who don’t court disaster, won’t die... hehe!"
"Sister Pan’er, how did you all manage to escape? Hurry up and tell me, you don’t understand how curious I am!"
Jun Ruoxue asked curiously.
"How else could we have escaped? Just like that."
Su Pan’er was particularly amused.
Su Pan’er laughed softly, "I never expected things to turn out this way. By the way, where is Lord Su? What did he say..."
"Oh him, he was stripped of his official position by Magistrate Cao and locked up!"
Jun Ruoxue chuckled heartily.
"What happened?" Su Pan’er was taken aback.
"Well, he was disrespectful to Lord Cao."
Just as Jun Ruochen was about to speak, he was interrupted by Jun Ruoxue, "Lord Cao, worried about not fulfilling his mission entrusted by His Majesty, of course took this matter very seriously. Unfortunately, Lord Su repeatedly crossed his lines! And so, Lord Su has tasted the bitter fruit of his own actions. It’s true, those who don’t seek trouble will not die...hee hee!"
Like lit fireworks, she eagerly recounted the recent events.
Su Sikong was actually dismissed by Magistrate Cao?
Su Pan’er’s face was filled with astonishment.
This really surprised her. On second thought, it seemed reasonable.
For Magistrate Cao, the most important thing is the after-effects of the smallpox vaccination. Anyone who obstructs him is his enemy.
Since Su Sikong had tried to harm her numerous times, it was likely that Magistrate Cao had long been annoyed with him.
"How was it? Sister Pan’er, my move was pretty amazing, right? Not only did I help you break the siege, but I also accidentally got Fatty Su out. Hee hee!"
Looking at Jun Ruoxue, who was seeking recognition, Su Pan’er laughed.
"Yes, younger Sister Xue’er is indeed amazing. But, Sister Pan’er, why do you look so happy watching your fun!"
Su Pan’er teased.
"You just realized!"
Jun Ruoxue made a face at her, causing Jun Ruochen to shake his head helplessly at his playful sister’s behavior.
"Certainly."
Su Pan’er spoke seriously, then turned towards Jun Ruochen and gave a serious bow, "I am grateful to you, Lord, for looking after us. I am deeply touched!"
"No worries, as the Parent Official of Yongze County, it’s my duty to take care of my people."
Jun Ruochen stood up and walked over to Su Pan’er, "Doctor Su, there is something I’d like to discuss with you in private."
Private discussion?
Su Pan’er’s heart suddenly jumped.
Could it be that this Jun Ruochen is actually Jun Ruochen, and he has recognized me? Does he want to talk about our past lives in private?
No way!
My current appearance is quite different from my past life’s; even if he is a reincarnated person, he would not be able to recognize me, Su Pan’er quickly dismissed the thought.
"Understood."
