Chapter 342: Chapter 341 A Warm Picture!_1

"Fine, fine! You clearly want me to leave, why not just say so, instead of beating around the bush. Humph!"

Jun Ruoxue cast an irritated glance at Jun Ruochen, then walked away.

Jun Ruochen shook his head helplessly, then turned his gaze to carefully inspect the Su Pan’er in front of him.

Su Pan’er’s chubby face had slimmed down considerably, revealing a tall and appealing figure. Surprisingly, she was nearly his height when they stood next to each other, truly a sight to be admired!

His relentless gaze made Su Pan’er feel uneasy. Unable to find anything wrong, she couldn’t help but lower her head in bashfulness.

"Lord Jun, is there... something amiss?"

Jun Ruochen shook his head as he snapped back to the present.

"Not really. But, I just want to caution you to be more careful in your interactions. Recently... Has anyone been causing you trouble?"

Jun Ruochen carefully chose his words.

A glint of light flashed in Su Pan’er’s eyes.

"If Lord Jun has anything to say, please state it clearly. As long as I, Su Pan’er, can lend a hand, I certainly will!"

His words seemed to give Jun Ruochen pause. He frowned, and then returned to his chair.

"Here’s the thing. A few days ago, I received a secret letter from the Ministry of Personnel, ordering me to arrest you immediately. Originally, I ignored it considering my complicated relationship with the Ministry. But this matter has now been put on hold."

All the while, his gaze was focused on Su Pan’er’s expression.

After putting this matter on hold, he had ordered Hua County Official to investigate.

Unfortunately, since the wilderness was vast, the investigation yielded no results. However, Jun Ruochen, determined not to give up, ordered another search. Surprisingly, a severed arm clad in official attire was found halfway up a mountain stream.

Although it was just a severed arm, it indirectly confirmed all previous speculations.

Su Pan’er was mildly taken aback, yet she didn’t panic. "Pan’er thanks the honorable County Magistrate for his thoughtful care!"

"No worries! The Ministry and my Jun family have never gotten along."

Jun Ruochen dismissed this with a wave of his hand, then continued, "Now that Mr. Qin has embarked on the career path of an official, the Jun Family should naturally protect his wife. A few days ago, Su Sikong came to make a fuss, and I had intended to talk to you two about it. But to my surprise, I couldn’t find you both. Today... all these things happened..."

By recommending Qin Yi to the court, he automatically became part of the Jun Family faction.

All for one, one for all.

Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow, "Lord Jun, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"This should have been discussed with Mr. Qin, but given the circumstances...telling you won’t make a difference. I’m saying, be careful with Su Sikong."

"Hasn’t he already been put in jail?"

"My people found out that a few days ago, someone in the Capital City seems to have sent him a letter. It must have been delivered by Wang Ba and seemingly has some connection with the Seventh Master. I have already sent a letter to the Jun Family, and I believe there will be a response soon."

"Thank you very much, Lord Jun."

Apart from expressing her gratitude, Su Pan’er didn’t seem to know what else to say.

"Now that Su Sikong has been arrested, you all should think carefully about your next steps. Also, the marriage matter between Mr. Qin and Second Miss Su, you should resolve this sooner rather than later."

"Thank you for the reminder, Magistrate."

This matter was truly Su Pan’er’s biggest concern.

After bidding farewell to County Magistrate Jun, Su Pan’er went to check on Qin Yi, who was still deep in sleep. But his condition had noticeably improved.

She was finally able to relax. As she walked out of the room and looked up, she saw Su Ke holding a dog and Qin Shuan’er holding a pig, both sitting side by side on a bench at the door, laughing happily.

The sight warmed Su Pan’er’s heart!

Of course, it would have been even better if the piglet Qin Shuan’er was holding didn’t have such a sleazy look on its face!

It appeared Ke’er said something funny, causing Shuang’er to burst out laughing. When she looked up and saw Su Pan’er, her face brightened immediately!

"Third Auntie!"

"Ah, Shuan’er, such a good girl!"

Su Pan’er bent down to pat her on the head, her gaze landing on the small dog across from her.

This dog...

Why does it seem more and more familiar?

"Ugly woman, what do you think? Isn’t this little brother of Mr. Pig pretty good?"

The little color pig lay comfortably in Shuan’er’s arms, his belly toward the sky, squinting his tiny pig eyes, and flapping his ears in satisfaction.

"This little dog is your brother?"

"Definitely not! You don’t know about it! That day, when I was treasure hunting, I overheard that fat pig from the Su family badmouthing you. So Mr. Pig decided to restore some respect for you."

It raised a proud little hoof, asking Shuan’er to scratch it for him.

Pleasantly squinting its eyes, "Mr. Pig subsequently followed him to the county city and unexpectedly found this little pup. It was originally a hunting dog that the fat pig used to catch criminals. Mr. Pig saw that it had a good sense, and it seemed quite useful, so I abducted it for you as a watchdog!"

The little Bama pig utterly detested Su Sikong, so it was particularly happy to bring him down.

Of course, it would be even better to abduct his pet dog and present it as a favor to Pan’er!

It seemed to understand that the little Bama pig was talking about it, the little dog suddenly whined at Su Pan’er twice and broke free from Ke’er’s arms.

It ran to Su Pan’er and wagged its tail.

"This dog is small, but wonder if it’s easy to raise?" Su Pan’er whispered to herself.

"It’s easy to keep, definitely easy to keep. Third auntie, please keep it. Look how well-behaved and cute it is!"

Qin Shuan’er immediately leaned over to plead for it.

Ke’er also came over to meddle: "Exactly, Fourth Sister, please keep it, keep it!"

Su Pan’er’s gaze rested on the little dog in front of her.

The dog’s fur was shiny and alternated between yellow and white, indicating that it was regularly groomed. Although it was small in size, its eyes were particularly spirited as if it could understand human language. It even whined at Su Pan’er again.

"Can you understand human language? Go fetch me that broom over there!"

Su Pan’er casually pointed out.

The little dog gave a low bark from its throat, and sure enough, turned its head and ran, picked up the broom by its side, and came back with it!

"Fantastic!"

Ke’er and Shuan’er couldn’t help but applaud happily.

"Hey! Where did this stray dog come from, give me back my broom...oh, Doctor Su is here too."

Following the voice, Aunt Zhou rushed out with her apron on. Upon seeing Su Pan’er, a smile immediately flooded her eyes!

Wiping the water stains off her hands with her apron: "I was just wondering where this stray dog came from, hadn’t thought... this dog is quite well-behaved, where did it come from?"

Looking at the little dog wagging its tail eagerly to please her, Su Pan’er accepted the broom with a smile!

"It’s ours!"

Compared to the warmth at the Qin family, Su Sikong, who was being escorted back to the county city, was not so fortunate!

All the usually sycophantic servants had changed into tiger faces.

He was taken back to the dungeon without being given a chance to speak, brutally beaten, and then flung carelessly into the jail cell without even a sip of water.

How could his body, accustomed to comfort and luxury, adapt to this?
