Chapter 413 Jiang Lou and Ruan Yanluo
Jiang Lou still bowed when he heard this, looked up at Su Hanchu, his eyes full of determination.
"I have never asked. I believe in the ability of the City Lord. Even if there really was an accident, I would not mind it if you were too late. I only regret that I was injured and did not save her. I only hate that the King of Yan is despicable and shameless. Moreover, I am just a bandit. The Second Miss has an elegant temperament, dignified manners, and gentle words. She is like a fairy descended to the earth. I am marrying above my station."
Su Hanchu tapped the table with his index finger, looked at Jiang Lou with dignity, and pondered for a moment.
"Jiang Lou, Luo Luo was the only child of the Ruan family. The old city lord has always loved her dearly. She is straightforward and intelligent, and knows how to behave. However, the incident with Prince Yan was a huge blow to her. I have been trying to counsel her over the past year, but she still underestimates herself when it comes to marriage. If you truly love her, I hope you can personally resolve her concerns."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lou kowtowed hurriedly.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your help. Please rest assured, Lord City Lord, I will never let the Second Young Lady down in this life."
Su Hanchu's eyes flashed with satisfaction when he heard this.
"Master Jiang, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. I will only give you one chance. You must remember that you begged for this marriage on your knees before Sister Ruan Yanluo. I hope you will not let yourself down in the future."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lou hurriedly spoke seriously.
"I will keep this in mind."
Su Hanchu looked at his pious expression before speaking slowly.
"Master Jiang, please stand up. Besides the disaster relief, I have another task I want to assign to you."
Jiang Lou then stood up and bowed.
"My Lord, please give me your orders. I will do my best to do my best."
Su Hanchu tapped the table with his index finger and spoke seriously.
"Since the establishment of the Baise City Court, Lord Jiang, you have been the right-hand man of me and Young Master Jun, and have been managing the affairs of Baise City. Although Baise City is only a city, its area and population are as large as three cities in a large country.
As the local officials have become more established, I'm worried that some of them are enriching themselves and not working as hard for the people as they did in the beginning. I originally wanted to go on a private visit, but I have more important matters to attend to. Lord Jiang, as the Minister of the Central Court, you are always thoughtful and have good martial arts skills. I think it is appropriate to entrust this matter to you."
Jiang Lou looked up at Su Hanchu when he heard that.
"My Lord, the City Lord wants me to represent you, Young Master Jun, on a private visit."
Su Hanchu nodded slightly.
"That's about it. You need to secretly observe the lives of the people and their opinions of local officials. You need to understand various local cases. If there are any unjust or wrongful convictions, you can enforce the laws of Baise City. So after the disaster relief, you, Luoluo, and Tao Zhiwen will go around investigating. You don't have to return to the city. Ping'er, who is by my side, will report to me on the matters concerning the disaster relief."
When Jiang Lou heard that Ruan Yanluo would also travel and investigate with him, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
Ruan family.
Ruan Yanluo was packing his clothes absentmindedly.
Xiangling spoke as she packed her things.
"Miss, are you worried that Master Jiang would mind?"
Ruan Yanluo paused while folding the clothes, lowered his head, and his eyes were full of loss.
"No one would mind, would they?"
Xiangling put down what she was holding, walked over and helped Ruan Yanluo sit down.
"Miss, Xiangling doesn't know how to comfort you, but in Xiangling's eyes, you are the best person in the world. Moreover, the City Lord left in time, so you weren't truly... If Lord Jiang truly loved you and felt sorry for your experience, why would he mind? It's clearly you who suffered so much injustice. If he says he loves you but still cares about it, then he doesn't truly love you."
Ruan Yanluo still lowered his head in dejection after hearing this.
Seeing this, Xiangling poured her a cup of tea and continued speaking.
"Miss, don't worry. The Ruan family has been standing in Baise City for so many years, and the city lord also regards you as his own sister. Didn't the city lord also say today? If you want to get married, she will choose the most suitable husband for you. If you don't want to get married, she can also support you for the rest of your life.
We're about to go to provide disaster relief, Miss, you can't go with such a worried attitude. Miss, haven't you always been looking forward to doing something for the people of Baise City?"
When the topic of disaster relief was mentioned, a glimmer of light appeared in Ruan Yanluo's eyes.
"Yes, let's pack our clothes quickly. We don't know when we will gather all the food and herbs. We must get to Suhe as soon as possible."
The two were quickly packing their daily and light clothes when a little maid suddenly came with Ping'er and another girl to report.
"Second Miss, Ping'er from the City Lord's side brought someone with him."
Seeing this, Ruan Yanluo spoke with a smile.
"Why are you here, Miss Ping'er? Sister, do you have something to tell me?"
Ping'er bowed respectfully.
"Second Miss, this is Qing Ning. She has some martial arts skills and knows some medical techniques and herbs. The Lord of the City asked you to bring her with you during this disaster relief mission. In addition, he has secretly arranged two secret guards to protect your safety."
Qing Ning also saluted respectfully.
"Qing Ning has met the Second Miss."
Ruan Yanluo was touched when she saw this. It turned out that a child with an older sister was a treasure. The elder sister had thought of everything for her.
"Thank you, elder sister, for me."
Ping'er bowed again.
"The person has been sent, and I will take my leave now."
Qing Ning had been trained and quickly became familiar with Xiang Ling, and they helped to pack things for Ruan Yanluo.
Wait until everyone has packed up their things.
The little maid came to report again.
"Second Miss, Lord Jiang is here and waiting in the hall. He said Miss Ping'er and Guard Tao from Young Master Jun's company have already left with the food, and Lord Jiang is here to pick you up and reunite."
After hearing this, Ruan Yanluo picked up the bag he had packed and went to the hall with Xiangling and Qingning.
As soon as Jiang Lou saw Ruan Yanluo coming, he stepped forward and bowed.
"Lolo, the carriage is ready. It's only afternoon now, so we can still make it to the nearby town to rest."
Ruan Yanluo spoke upon hearing this.
"Master Jiang, can Miss Ping'er and Guard Tao deliver the food for this disaster relief?"
Jiang Lou nodded upon hearing this.
"yes."
Ruan Yanluo pondered for a moment.
"Master Jiang, I think taking a carriage is too slow. Miss Ping'er and Guard Jiang are here to deliver the food and medicine for the disaster relief. Why don't we hurry up and get to Suhe first to appease the people?"
