Zhu Zan and Miss Jun, who were traveling on the road to the capital at this moment, had no idea what was happening in the remote Anguo Mansion.

The two horses galloped forward, one in front and the other behind.

"There is something..." Zhu Zan shouted.

"Let's talk about it when we get to Beijing." Miss Jun interrupted him, "Besides, there's nothing worth talking about."

This was the nth time they had this kind of conversation. When Zhu Zan wanted to speak, Miss Jun interrupted him.

"Jun Jiuling," Zhu Zan called out, stopping her, "Can you please let me talk properly?"

He called her Jun Jiuling, which felt interesting.

However, Miss Jun didn't even look at him.

"No," she said.

Zhu Zan stared in dismay.

"There's really nothing we can do about you." he said angrily.

"That's just the me of today, Chu Jiuling. You can't do that to me, but what about the previous Jun Jiuling?" Miss Jun looked at him with a smile.

"I couldn't do anything about the old Jun Jiuling." Zhu Zan said, "You're still thinking about the past. Think about it, can I really do anything to you?"

No?

Miss Jun's expression changed slightly.

"Don't talk about the money from Yangcheng Flower Lanterns." Zhu Zan continued, "That time doesn't count. Let's start with the purple fairy plant. I stole your herbs, but you and I are strangers. Is it okay for me to accept the reward? I don't think I'll hurt anyone, but I don't pretend to be a good person either."

Miss Jun was silent for a moment.

"You're a good person," she said, smiling.

Even though he has a bad attitude towards people, he has never done anything evil. Instead, he has always been doing brave and kind things...

"Yes, I was rude to you, but it wasn't directed at you. I was rude to everyone, especially women." Zhu Zan said, stroking his face. "It's mainly because I'm too dazzling and popular. If I'm a little nice to women, they will easily misunderstand me. It's really annoying."

Miss Jun looked a little strange.

"Although what you said is probably true, it sounds so funny," she said.

Zhu Zan ignored her smile.

"It wasn't just my fault that I treated you badly back then. You had a lot of reasons to blame," he said sternly.

"I understand. I don't want to talk about this. Let's go." Miss Jun interrupted him and urged the horse to move forward.

She just gets angry for fun when she thinks about it, but if I really talk about it, I always feel a little flustered...

"No!" Zhu Zan jumped off his horse and grabbed her reins, refusing to let her be refused.

"You are still being rude to me." Miss Jun said with a raised eyebrow, snatching the reins, "Give it to me."

Zhu Zan let her take the reins, but reached out and lifted her off the horse.

Miss Jun was caught off guard and startled.

"What are you doing?" she shouted.

"This matter must be made clear." Zhu Zan said, holding her in front of him and not letting her move. "You recognized me at that time, but I didn't recognize you. I was an acquaintance to you, so you were reckless in front of me, but I didn't know you. Imagine a strange woman suddenly acted familiarly and recklessly towards you. Wouldn't you be scared? Wouldn't you suspect she had other intentions? Of course I had to be on guard, but tell me with all your heart, I had a bad attitude, but did I do anything bad to you?"

In fact, of course, no, he saved her life, helped her block Lu Yunqi, went to the trouble of killing Huang Xiaoshang for her, promised to protect her life, and helped her find a descendant of a criminal who could test the medicine and convince the doctors...

Miss Jun pulled his hand away with force.

"I understand," she said. "I won't tell you about it anymore."

Zhu Zan held her down.

"You don't know," he said, "I'm not nice to you because I think you're nice."

What's the reason?

Miss Jun looked at him.

"But I like Chu Jiuling, and I won't like any other woman." Zhu Zan looked at her and said, "So I can only treat you badly, so that you won't treat me well either."

What's the reason for this?

Miss Jun looked at him.

"The reason is that I am afraid that I will like you." Zhu Zan said, "I am afraid that I will like Jun Jiuling and forget Chu Jiuling."

Although she didn't say anything, when she heard these words, Miss Jun's eyes suddenly darkened and tears almost came out.

"You." She murmured softly, "Chu Jiuling is already dead, and you are not familiar with her, so just forget it."

Zhu Zan looked at her, suddenly smiled, and raised his eyes to the sky.

"Yes, I don't know you well. You don't even remember me." He said, "I have only met you twice."

Having said this he started laughing again.

"Once I was beaten by you, and once I watched you being beaten. It was so cruel and ridiculous."

The time when she beat him at the city gate was indeed him, Miss Jun was silent, and she was beaten when she climbed over the wall of the Duke's house.

"I don't know what liking someone means." Zhu Zan continued, "I just thought this person was interesting, so I paid more attention to him unconsciously, and thought that I would get to know him if I had a chance, and if I had a chance..."

He smiled again, but his smile was a little ugly.

"...I had a chance to be good to her," he said, "but I didn't expect that I would never have that chance again."

She got married, she died, and she no longer existed in this world...

He looked at Miss Jun.

"You said, she's dead, she died so young, so many people want to forget her, want to erase her existence, if I forget her too, how pitiful and lonely she would be..."

Before he could finish his words, Miss Jun reached out and hugged him.

Zhu Zan's body stiffened slightly, but he did not stop talking.

"...You always say that I treat you differently from before and after, and that I would still be so nice to you if you were not Chu Jiuling. But you forget that you are also very nice to me. If you were not Chu Jiuling, would you still be so nice to me? Would you be so nice to my family? Would you and I still meet and know each other like we do now?"

I don’t know, because she was Chu Jiuling at the beginning, and she didn’t know how things would turn out if it was someone else.

He would not meet her, and she would not know him. He would continue to miss his Chu Jiuling, while she would live her own life, a life that had nothing to do with Chu Jiuling.

Miss Jun shook her head in front of him.

"I don't know what kind of person Princess Jiuling is, and I didn't expect you to be her. You are very good, very good." Zhu Zan continued, "But I still don't want to and can't forget the person I didn't have the time to treat well. I think I owe you. I will follow you and let you call me by your command for the rest of my life until you no longer need me, until you get married, and until you chase me away. Then I will leave."

He lowered his head, looked at the little girl in front of him, raised his hands and slowly placed them on her shoulders, slowly crossing them.

"I didn't expect God would give me this opportunity." He hugged her tightly and buried his head behind her neck, "Giving me the opportunity to be good to her, and making me feel that the person who is good to her is actually the one who wants to be good to her the most."

Miss Jun felt warm water vapor spreading behind her neck and wetting her collar, which made her alert.

"Hey." She pushed him away. "Okay, I get it."

Zhu Zan looked at her.

"Know what?" he asked.

Miss Jun avoided his gaze and looked at the horse grazing nearby.

"I know you are not rude at first and respectful later. You are good to Jun Jiuling and Chu Jiuling, equally good to them." she said.

Zhu Zan still looked at her.

"And then?" he asked.

What can happen next?

"I won't use this to tease you anymore..." Miss Jun said...

Zhu Zan continued to look at her...

"And then?" he asked...
