Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Jun Ruochen’s Helplessness_1

Su Pan’er understood that the status of a criminal record official in this era was somewhat similar to that of a public servant in later generations. Although they were the lowest rank, they were still part of the official system and enjoyed state subsidies.

Free stuff is not to be refused!

"No worries. Actually, the reason why the county asked for your presence is related to this matter."

After a moment of contemplation, Jun Ruochen continued, "I have just received a letter from Old Xue, stating that he has petitioned the Imperial Court, hoping that they could dispatch several competent doctors to help contain the epidemic. This order has also reached Yongze County. After much consideration, I believe only you, Doctor Su, are the most suitable candidate for this task. Therefore, I want you to make this trip. Of course, Mr. Qin will accompany you and serve as your personal guard."

This move by Jun Ruochen was well thought out.

Initially, he personally destroyed the official document sent by the Ministry of Personnel to arrest Su Pan’er.

But a few days ago, he received news that Eighth Master had personally led people to Yongze County.

However, he found out that Su Pan’er was likely to be one of the missing twin sisters from Lord Liu’s family. Until he could confirm the news from the Liu family, he had to protect Su Pan’er no matter what, he couldn’t let anything happen to her.

The best solution right now was to let Su Pan’er leave Yongze county.

Firstly to avoid trouble, and secondly in case her killing of the soldiers was true, she could offset her crime with the merit of assisting the Imperial Court in preventing the epidemic. Only then would she have a chance to survive.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible this plan seemed. Coincidentally, Qin Yi’s approval document had also come, so it was perfect for the two of them to go together, relieving him of any concerns.

However, he couldn’t tell them these things openly, hence his earlier explanation.

Both Qin Yi and Su Pan’er remained silent. After a while, Su Pan’er finally said, "Your Honor, did you just say that several doctors will also go together with us?"

"Perhaps not several, but Hundred Ease Hall will dispatch two doctors to accompany you."

Hundred Ease Hall was one of the clinics under Lui Ming’s control.

Su Pan’er nodded in understanding. Considering the desperate situation Lui Muyi was in and his relationship with Jun Ruochen, it was not surprising that he would send people with them.

However, Qin Yi thought of another question.

"Lord Jun, when do we leave?"

"We leave early the day after tomorrow!"

The day after tomorrow? That’s so soon! Both of them were taken aback!

This turned out to be a quickly made decision!

"I want to go too, I want to go with you, Brother Chen!"

Unable to hold back anymore, Jun Ruoxue, who was hiding inside, jumped out and loudly proclaimed that she wanted to go with them.

Glimpses meeting each other, the three of them awkwardly looked away.

Jun Ruochen saw this scene, his gaze flickered, and he chided sternly, "Stop messing around! Changze County is currently suffering from a plague. This epidemic is fierce, it’s not a place for a girl like you. Go back!"

"No, no! Isn’t Sister Pan’er also a woman? If she can go, why can’t I? No, no, I want to go, I want to go!"

Jun Ruoxue brought out all her tricks, shaking Jun Ruochen’s arm and refusing to let go, "What’s more, with Sister Pan’er by my side, what are you worried about? Besides, I’ve been vaccinated against cowpox, so I’m not afraid of smallpox. I’m going crazy being stuck in the county government office all day, good brother, let me go... "

"Dr. Su is going for official matters. What are you going for? No, if I say no, it’s a no."

Jun Ruochen did not give in at all.

"You haven’t even asked Sister Pan’er, maybe she’s willing to take me."

Jun Ruoxue blinked mischievously, "Right, Sister Pan’er? Hehe, I know you’ll take me with you, won’t you?"

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi, standing by her side, looked in different directions, neither daring to meet Jun Ruoxue’s gaze.

"We...we..."

"How about this, Your Honor, why don’t you let little sister Xue’er come with us. We promise to take good care of her."

Despite her hesitation, Su Pan’er still pleaded for her.

Seeing them, Jun Ruoxue covered her mouth and snickered quietly.

Jun Ruochen couldn’t help feeling overwhelmed and looked troubled.

"If you don’t let me go, you’ll have to find time to accompany me every day, otherwise... Humph."

It seemed that she was determined to go. If she wasn’t allowed to go, who knew what trouble she would stir up, she might even secretly follow Su Pan’er and the others without anyone noticing.

"Alright, I’ll let you go, I’ll let you go! But on the way, you have to listen to Dr. Su, no mischief allowed."

After much thought, Jun Ruochen reluctantly agreed.

He looked apologetically at Su Pan’er, "My younger sister is mischievous. I’m afraid you and Mr. Qin will have a hard time taking care of her on the journey to Changze."

"Please rest assured, Your Honor, we’ll make sure to take good care of her."

"Thanks, Sister Pan’er, I knew you are the nicest to me. Some people, even though they are my own brother, don’t understand my longing for freedom! Hehe."

Before Jun Ruochen could reply, Jun Ruoxue grabbed Su Pan’er’s hand, her face filled with triumph and joy.

Jun Ruochen shook his head and smiled wryly.

After giving them some pointers, Jun Ruochen finally served them tea and saw them out.

After saying goodbye to Jun Ruochen, Qin Yi was carrying his official attire and walking in the front, while Jun Ruoxue, arm in arm with Su Pan’er, was walking behind, occasionally covering her mouth to giggle secretly.

Making Zi Lan who was behind them curious.

"Look at you, what are you giggling about?"

Su Pan’er quietly pinched Jun Ruoxue with a warning look in her eyes.

Jun Ruoxue covered her mouth and laughed for a while before she whispered into Su Pan’er’s ear, "Sister Pan’er, do you know? I discovered something unusual that day!"

"Uh... don’t talk nonsense, he was... he was set up and victimized, he had no other choice."

Su Pan’er thought that Jun Ruoxue was talking about the incident when Su Pan’er and Qin Yi accidentally stumbled upon her. She hurriedly and vaguely tried to explain.

This was indeed hard to explain.

Not to mention that the explanation was complicated, it was also necessary to divulge too many insider details, which was too humiliating.

"Ah! Sister Pan’er, what are you talking about, I’m not talking about that."

Jun Ruoxue’s face turned red all of a sudden, and she rushed to whisper in Su Pan’er’s ear, "During the day, I got separated from Zi Lan. Zi Lan went to the small pavilion on the other side of the hill. She saw several thugs surrounding your lovely second sister. They seemed to be planning to act indecently. As soon as Zi Lan saw this, they... they all slipped away."

"Huh? That happened?"

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but look back at Zi Lan.

At that time, she was worried about Qin Yi and didn’t care about the aftermath of those who were blocking the way. She thought they had dispersed.

It turned out that they went back to find Su Yue’er!

Thinking about it, most of those people were likely sent by Su Yue’er. As for who those minions were, she was not interested in finding out.
