"Co on, Sister Pan’er, don’t be angry!"
She kept shaking Su Pan’er’s arm.
"Not angry? Can I not be angry?"
Su Pan’er deliberately scowled, "So, what happened just now was my fault? We promised your brother when we left that we would take good care of you. If anything had happened to you, how would we explain to him?"
"I, I was just too playful! I never thought that much..."
Jun Ruoxue lowered her head, fiddling with the corner of her clothes, not daring to lift her head.
Seeing her act like a little girl, Su Pan’er’s heart was quickly softened by her, causing her to shake her head and soften her tone.
"If you realise your mistake, that’s good, hmm! Wait till we go back and see how you’ll explain it to your brother!"
Seeing Su Pan’er soften her attitude, Jun Ruoxue imdiately clung to her again.
"Good Sister, please don’t tell my Brother Chen! If Brother Chen finds out, he will definitely not let out to play anymore. Then, I won’t be able to see you, Sister Pan’er! Dear Sister, Dear Sister..."
"Alright, alright, I won’t say anything, I won’t say anything! Really, I don’t know what to do with you."
Su Pan’er shook her head helplessly and laughed.
Jun Ruoxue is such a playful girl, what will she beco when she grows up?
"Hehe, Xue’er knew it, Sister Pan’er is the very, very, very best to Xue’er!"
Jun Ruoxue’s eyes were bright and glistening as she laughed, turning into two crescent moons.
"What is the ’very, very, very best’?"
Qin Yi pushed open the door of the private room and stepped in.
"Nothing, nothing!"
Jun Ruoxue hurriedly returned to her seat and looked at Qin Yi with a pleasing look: "Brother-in-law Qin, thank you so much earlier."
"What are you thanking for? You’ve called your brother-in-law, how could I not help you?"
Qin Yi smiled slightly and sat down: "Just now I asked the inn’s waiter about that young man’s identity. I found out that his father is a big grain rchant surnad Zhou, whom people jokingly refer to as Zhou Bapi. He seems to be related to a senior official in the county governnt office, so in Changze County, he is soone who can oppress others with his power."
"So he has so background. No wonder he was so arrogant."
Su Pan’er said smilingly.
Jun Ruoxue pouted: "Hmph! I disdain to use my family background to oppress people, and I also despise those who always use their family background to oppress others!"
Qin Yi nodded in agreent, but was the first to pick up his chopsticks.
"Just now I heard the sound of the geng drum, it’s now the first Geng. When the second Geng drum sounds, it will be the curfew. Let’s hurry up and eat sothing, then we can go back to rest. Rember, we have official business to attend to tomorrow. Don’t forget, we’re sent by the Emperor for epidemic prevention and disaster relief!"
Su Pan’er and Jun Ruoxue both nodded, and the three of them casually ate and drank before returning to the inn.
Early the next morning, while Qin Yi and the others were washing and rinsing, Zhou Ning knocked on their door.
"Brother Qin San, Pan’er, are you two up yet? Old Xue is here!"
Old Xue is here?
These words imdiately brought joy to their hearts!
"He’s here, he’s here, that’s great."
Su Pan’er replied loudly and quickly changed into an ordinary man’s outfit. Recently, she had to interact with patients frequently, and it was much more convenient to go out dressed as a man.
"Hurry up, don’t keep Old Xue waiting. That would be so impolite."
Qin Yi helped to check the dicine Box.
Su Pan’er had brought many useful dicinal ingredients, even the ones she had obtained in the cave last ti were brought along.
Particularly the dicinal ingredients to prevent and treat epidemic diseases, these were brought in significant quantities.
"I know, stop nagging."
Su Pan’er adjusted her collar and stepped out, answering casually.
Qin Yi also picked up the dicine Box, looked up, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
He had always known that Su Pan’er was full of valor. Now that she had shed her Luo skirt and donned a man’s clothes, she displayed an awe-inspiring figure and a noble deanor!
Pan’er’s beauty, different from the little bird-like dependence of contemporary young won, exuded a sense of competence instead.
Her gradually thinning figure revealed her well-defined facial features, like a sharply cut diamond.
The pair of upturned, fox-eye shaped eyes, were srizing and captivated the soul!
It seed like one glance would draw a person into her eyes, wanting to reside in her heart, never to co out!
"What’s wrong? Hey! What are you daydreaming about?"
Su Pan’er couldn’t help but wave her hand in front of Qin Yi. This fool would often stare blankly, truly suffocating!
"Cough cough, well... let’s go."
Qin Yi finally withdrew his gaze, embarrassed to admit that he had been entranced by her. He quickly headed outside.
Su Pan’er looked at his retreating figure with confusion, checked herself again, found no problems, and walked out with a puzzled expression.
"What a strange person..."
The rascal pig also stood up from the chair, stretched, and quickly followed, shaking its little pig tail.
It cracked a piggy smile, feeling extrely delighted!
It had been in the house all last night, and as a result, certain people looked unsatisfied. Early this morning, they were full of springti thoughts, lusting after its Pan’er!
Hehe, you naughty thing!
Now you know the power of Grandpa Pig, huh?
I’ll see if you dare to act arrogant and roll your eyes at Grandpa Pig again.
Qin Yi, who was walking ahead, seed to feel an uncomfortable gaze from behind. He instinctively turned his head, only to et the pig’s eyes.
Upon careful observation, there was ridicule in the pig’s eyes.
Left with no choice, he shook his head helplessly, continued to move forward, too lazy to argue with a pig.
Before the two had even entered the parlor, they already heard Old Xue chatting. They quickly hastened their pace, approached, and respectfully greeted him.
"Old Xue!"
Old Xue was chatting with Inspector Liu. He turned around upon hearing the voices.
"Ah, it’s Qin Yi and Pan’er. Co, co, have a seat, and we’ll talk."
"Thank you, Old Xue."
Qin Yi and the others also greeted Inspector Liu who was present.
Su Pan’er flashed a look at Qin Yi and pointed her mouth towards Inspector Liu. Qin Yi imdiately understood, started a conversation with Inspector Liu and requested him to ask Lord Zhang to investigate the case of Lui Muyi’s accuser.
Inspector Liu agreed without hesitation: "Don’t worry, this matter rests with . I’ll also take this case file with for returning."
He knew in his heart, this was Su Pan’er intentionally getting him out of the way so she could talk to Old Xue!
So, he imdiately bid everyone farewell and left for the county governnt office.
Once Inspector Liu had left, everyone took a seat.
Not seeing each other for a while, Old Xue seed to have aged significantly. The entire person appeared haggard and pale, looking quite low in spirits.
"Old Xue, I didn’t expect it to be so long since our farewell in Yongze. You’ve changed quite a lot."
After chit-chatting for a while, Old Xue looked sowhat unusual. He called Su Pan’er and Qin Yi aside, his expression grave as he spoke.
"Back when the old man and Yi’er ca to Changze, of course the old man ca for the epidemic here, but the reason why Yi’er ca to Changze and got himself into trouble is greatly related to you, Pan’er!" Old Xue exclaid.
At these words, Qin Yi couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows slightly.
Su Pan’er looked shocked: "Old Xue, where are you going with this?"
