Chapter 408 Ruan Yanluo's Fate

Seeing this, all the ministers stood up and respectfully responded to Jun Moye's blessings.

"I respectfully pay my respects to the City Lord and Young Master Jun. I will do my utmost to serve the City Lord from now on."

Soon a song and dance performance was brought up.

The sounds of music, laughter and clinking of cups filled the entire hall, and the emperor and his ministers enjoyed this rare happy moment together.

They tasted delicious food, talked about what they had been dealing with recently, and exchanged their experiences and insights with each other.

On this special night, the people of Baise City temporarily forgot about the busy government affairs and tense situation, and immersed themselves in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion.

The streets of Baiser City seemed shrouded in a mysterious veil. A rich festive atmosphere permeated the streets and alleys, and red lanterns hung high, dotting the night sky like stars. A chilly wind howled, yet the people's enthusiasm remained undimmed.

Children, dressed in new clothes and holding fireworks sticks, ran and played happily. Their laughter and cheers echoed in the air, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold night.

The adults were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, their faces filled with happy smiles.

In the alley, you can also hear the voices of adults calling their children to go home for dinner.

City Lord's Mansion.

As the New Year’s Eve dinner came to an end, Su Hanchu asked the ministers to go home early to spend the New Year with their families.

He also asked Ping'er to prepare red envelopes for the ministers.

He even prepared a big red envelope for Ruan Yanluo.

Su Lichuan and Ruan Yifeng hit it off right away and took advantage of the evening to drink and talk.

Su Hanchu and Jun Moye sat on the roof, snuggling together.

Chen'er and Su Jingxi were chasing each other in the yard with their short legs, while Jun Moyan and Jun Mohua followed behind them, watching with smiles on their faces.

"Run slower, don't fall."

"Chen'er."

"Jingxi."

Tao Zhiwen led people to light the fireworks.

Ruan Yanluo was the first to run over and hold Chen'er in his arms.

"Chen'er, cover your ears quickly, the fireworks are about to be set off."

Zhou Xuewei also hugged Jing Xi.

Soon the fireworks burst into life, and the colorful lights lit up the entire night sky.

It also illuminated the joyful atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion.

Jun Moye put his arms around Su Hanchu and took out a box from his sleeve.

"Happy New Year, Chuchu."

The box was opened.

A special pair of earrings appeared, appearing to be made of silver, with sparkling gemstones and intricate carvings.

The overall shape of the earrings is elegant and curvaceous, and they are decorated with tiny flowers and patterns, exuding a classic and mysterious temperament.

Jun Moye took out the earrings and replaced the earrings on Su Hanchu's ears with the light of the fireworks.

"It's not something expensive, but I learned to make it myself. I hope my lady likes it."

No wonder he often stayed up late in the study during the end of the year. I thought he was busy with official duties and didn’t care too much about it. I didn’t expect that he had prepared a surprise for me. For a moment, a happy smile appeared on Su Hanchu’s face.

"As long as it's from you, I like it."

After the replacement, Jun Moye bent down and kissed her cheek, then continued to hug her to watch the fireworks.

"It's rare for us to have such peaceful days. Baise City has basically stabilized. Next, we need time to give Baise City room to develop."

Su Hanchu leaned in his arms.

"Well, we have money, a business caravan, and all kinds of talents. The only thing we lack is time. The Bai Se Army has been trained for several months. They are originally bandits who live on the edge of a knife. They have a fierceness in their bodies and are no worse than ordinary soldiers. With a few more days of training and the new weapons we distribute, we will have 100,000 soldiers who can be mobilized at will.

Adding the original 100,000 Black Armored Soldiers from Baise City and the 30,000 from Tianxing Camp, we now have 230,000 troops under our command."

Jun Moye lowered his head and rubbed her hair.

"This is all thanks to you, Madam. You've taken care of over 200,000 people, and now you're the city lord. From now on, I'll be completely dependent on you."

After hearing this, Su Hanchu tilted her head to look at his face.

"You, you're the one who conquered these people. Although I'm the city lord, you're the one who handles all the affairs. After the New Year, I'll be busy with the affairs of the Women's College. We need to send some more people to the Imperial City to prepare."

The fireworks were over, and Ping'er took out the Kongming lanterns and asked Chen'er and Jingxi to set them off.

Ruan Yanluo looked up at Su Hanchu and Jun Moye on the roof, a smile appearing on her face. Fortunately, she did not separate the two. What a beautiful picture.

Suddenly a voice sounded.

"Second Miss, are you envious? Young Master and Madam have always been envied as a couple that is like a fairy tale."

Ruan Yanluo came back to his senses and saw that Jiang Lou's face was surprisingly handsome under the light of the lantern. He remembered that this person had also been on the ring and almost died under the sword of King Yan.

"I am happy. They are my sister and brother-in-law."

Jiang Lou looked at Ruan Yanluo's smiling eyes and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The Second Miss is more insightful than most people."

Ruan Yanluo naturally understood what he meant. Thinking of the time when she had competed with Su Hanchu for Jun Moye, her face suddenly turned red.

"I was forced into this situation because of special circumstances. Besides, I didn't know I had such a powerful sister. If I had known earlier, I would have just let her go on stage and defeat the King of Yan. Why would I have gone through so much trouble?"

Jiang Lou was a meticulous person to begin with. Seeing Ruan Yanluo's reaction, he was certain that she had no romantic feelings for Jun Mo. It seemed that she had really been looking for someone to take over Baise City. Jiang Lou's gaze fell on the distant sky.

"Perhaps everything is destined. The martial arts competition didn't affect the relationship between the young master and his wife. His wife now has a gentle and lovely sister like you, Miss Ruan Er. Miss Ruan Er, you have also found someone who can take over Baise City. Now Baise City is becoming increasingly prosperous. Everyone is truly happy."

Ruan Yanluo nodded after hearing this.

"Yes, I believe that under the management of my sister and brother-in-law, Baise City will continue to be peaceful and prosperous. By the way, I saw you at the New Year's Eve dinner. What is your job?"

Jiang Lou turned to look at Ruan Yanluo, smiled and spoke.

"Second Miss, you want to ask what position the City Lord and Young Master have given me. I am grateful to the City Lord and Young Master for their kindness. I will serve as the Central Auxiliary Secretary."

Ruan Yanluo had an idea. Currently, the highest civil servant position in Baise City is Fusi, which means assisting the city lord in managing Baise City.

"No wonder you sat at the same table with your brother-in-law to watch the competition. It turns out your brother-in-law thinks so highly of you. I only remember you going on stage and forgot your name. What's your name?"

Jiang Lou spoke slowly.

"I'm in Jianglou."

Ruan Yanluo looked at his face, lowered his head and spoke.

"I remember that."

At this time, one Kongming lantern after another slowly rose up, carrying people's good wishes for the New Year. Everyone looked up at the sky and made wishes silently in their hearts.

Jiang Lou watched Ruan Yanluo make a wish and pinched his sleeve...
