When the news of Ning Shigongzi's winning the first place in the imperial examination came back, the whole county celebrated. However, for the people of Yangcheng, Ning Shigongzi's winning the first place in the imperial examination was a matter of course, and there was a lack of surprise.

But then another piece of news slowly spread.

Mr. Ning Shi and Miss Jun are engaged in the capital.

"What do you mean by engagement? They already had an engagement, okay?" someone said.

That's true.

When the orphan girl from Ning came to Yangcheng, she directly shouted that she had a marriage contract with the Tenth Master of Ning.

Mr. Ning Shi, he is the treasure of the whole Yangcheng. Many women yearn for him but are too ashamed to desecrate him.

It is simply intolerable that this shallow, eccentric and inexplicable girl is going to become the wife of Mr. Ning Shi.

The Ning family couldn't tolerate it, and neither could the Tenth Master Ning. After much fuss, the engagement was finally called off, and from then on the two had nothing to do with each other anymore.

Why are you suddenly talking about engagement?

"It's still because of the Fang family's matter."

"Miss Jun's marriage to Master Fang was fake, so the cancellation of the engagement with the Tenth Master was also fake."

"Or the two of them went to the capital one after the other."

"Miss Jun was in the capital to accompany Master Ning to take the imperial examination."

"If you pass the exam and become the top scholar, you two can get married."

This really sounds like a relationship between a man and a woman.

But some people expressed opposition.

"You speak as if you saw it with your own eyes."

"Ms. Jun was obviously going to the capital to open a clinic in order to promote the Jiulingtang in her family. She just happened to be in the capital."

"That's right, the Tenth Master is in the Imperial College, why would he need Miss Jun to accompany him?"

In short, no one could explain the quarrel, and no one in the Ning family could get the bottom of it. Although the Tenth Young Master Ning had returned, the First Madam Ning was ill, and the Tenth Young Master Ning stayed at home to take care of her and did not see any guests, so no one could really ask him any questions.

Now Miss Jun is back. She just came back yesterday. The Tenth Master Ning, who had never gone out of the house, appeared in front of the Fang family's door today.

What is this?

Did you just happen to pass by?

The little girl called him "Auntie" and asked if she came for Miss Jun. How would Mr. Ning Shi answer?

Everyone's heart was in their throat as they stared at Young Master Ning Shi nervously.

The mystery that has been there for a long time is about to be solved! It is about to be revealed!

Xiao Ding couldn't help shrinking his neck under this fiery gaze, while Ning Yunzhao behind him smiled and took a step forward.

"Yes." He said, looking at Liu'er, "Is Miss Jun here?"

Before Liu'er could answer, the people around her started to make a noise.

Looking for Miss Jun!

Mr. Ning Shi is here to see Miss Jun!

Mr. Ning is here to look for his fiancée, Miss Jun!

Xiao Ding was so frightened by the noise that he almost fell to the ground.

He knew that wherever the young master went, he would definitely cause a commotion, so he suggested that the young master go away and if he had anything to say, he should ask Miss Jun to come out and talk quietly away from people to avoid being watched.

It's a pity that we have to take precautions...

"Auntie, my young lady is here." Liu'er's voice was still loud in the noise, "The young lady is waiting for you."

This statement once again caused the people around to make a commotion.

Be more reserved, girl, Xiao Ding couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need to invite Miss Jun out for a secret meeting. If we invite her out, it won't be secret. Look at these people. It is estimated that everyone in Renyang City will come to watch.

Ning Yunzhao walked into the Fang family's gate under Liu'er's enthusiastic guidance and the excited gaze of the people.

The Fang family's doorman was also frightened by the scene and stared blankly at Liu'er bringing people in.

"Let's report this." Ning Yunzhao said.

Liu Er said hi.

"What are you here to report, Auntie?" she said, "Come in quickly."

Then he looked forward and said "hmm".

"Look, they are here to greet us too."

Old Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang, who were walking over, looked grim-faced.

Welcome a ghost!

You silly girl, you are really making trouble. How come you haven't made any progress after all this time? You want to disgrace yourself and the Fang family again.

Ning Yunzhao stepped forward and saluted.

"Mrs. Fang, Madam, I'm sorry to bother you so much, as it's the first time we meet." He said with a serious expression, a respectful attitude, and a graceful and unrestrained manner.

Nice to meet you.

It was indeed the first time they met. Although they were fellow villagers, as banks, the Fang family and the Ning family naturally had dealings with each other. He had met Mr. Ning before, but after all, their identities were different as officials and businessmen. Ning Yunzhao had been studying all the time, and there was no other contact between them.

Later, it was about Jun Zhenzhen's engagement. She did meet Madam Ning, but the meeting was not pleasant, and Ning Yunzhao did not come out to greet the elders or anything.

Afterwards, the Ning family and Deshengchang no longer had any business dealings, and it was obvious that the two families would never have any intersection again.

I didn't expect that after we had no contact, Ning Yunzhao would come to my house to pay my respects as a senior citizen.

Is this a case of the changing fortunes?

If it was a year ago, she might be happy about this, but now...

"Aunt, aunt, go see the young lady." Liu'er urged from the side.

Auntie, auntie, isn't it fake? Why are you calling me like that?

In that sense, her grandson is also her aunt.

Old Mrs. Fang didn't need to hide her emotions and looked at him with a stern face.

Mrs. Fang still concealed her emotions and returned the greeting with a smile.

"Master Ning," she said.

"You can go and see..." Liu'er said again.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted unhappily by Old Lady Fang.

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you go and invite your young lady?" She said, and then looked at Ning Yunzhao, "Oh, I forgot to ask, who is Mr. Ning here to see?"

Ning Yunzhao seemed unable to see the expression on Old Lady Fang's face. His expression was still gentle, without the slightest restraint. He smiled when he heard the words.

"I'm here to see Miss Jun." He said frankly.

"Oh, please come in there." Old Madam Fang said, and glared at Liu'er again, "Why don't you go and invite your young lady?"

Liu Er glared at her unkindly.

How fierce is it?

She snorted, waved her hand and walked quickly inside.

"Mr. Ning, please come this way." Mrs. Fang said softly with a smile.

Ning Yunzhao bowed again and then followed him.

…

In Deshengchang, the senior manager who had been promoted to the second manager took the account book handed over by the manager and then turned around and handed it to Fang Chengyu.

Fang Chengyu was sitting in front of the desk, resting his chin on his hand. He was not looking at the account book, but was in a trance.

This posture has been going on for a long time.

Why is Young Master so absent-minded? This is rare.

The managers in the room looked at each other, and Manager Gao seemed to understand something.

"Master, I've looked at all the accounts for today," he said. "There are still some that haven't been delivered yet. Why don't you go back first? I'll deliver them to your house after noon."

Fang Chengyu said "oh" and sat up straight.

"Okay." He said, his eyes shining, and stood up.

The two servants hurried to follow.

"Have you gone to buy it?" Fang Chengyu asked.

The two servants nodded repeatedly.

"They have been sent away," they said.

"Deliver it to us as soon as you buy it. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Fang Chengyu said.

As he spoke, he walked out as quickly as the wind.

The people in the room looked at each other.

"What does Young Master want to buy?" someone asked in confusion.

"Who knows." Someone shook his head, "But the young master looks like he has something on his mind and is in low spirits."

Speaking of this, I feel a little worried.

"Are you feeling unwell again?"

Although Fang Chengyu's illness was cured, everyone was still a little uneasy as he had been ill for so many years.

Hearing this, Manager Gao laughed.

"How could that be? Miss Jun has already returned." He said with a meaningful smile, "With Miss Jun here, the young master has nothing to worry about."

The people present seemed to understand this sentence, but also seemed not to understand it.

Is it that Miss Jun is back, so the young master doesn't have to worry about his health, or is it that Miss Jun is back, so the young master doesn't have to worry?

Fang Chengyu stood at the street corner, watching two servants running over with sweat on their foreheads and handing over the paper packages in their hands.

"Master, they are still hot," they said. "We bought four as you said."

Fang Chengyu took it, breathing in the cool air and holding it in his hands.

"Young Master, let us take it." The two servants hurried to take it.

Fang Chengyu did not hand it to them, but turned around and quickly mounted the horse with one hand.

"Go back quickly and let her taste it." He said, urging his horse forward. Not long after he went, he saw that the number of people on the street suddenly increased, and they were rushing in the same direction as him, bringing with them a bit of noise.

What happened?

Fang Chengyu had to slow down his horse. He didn't want to know what happened, but he was worried that slowing down would delay his return home.

"Hurry up and go and see."

"Mr. Ning Shi really went to see Miss Jun."

"I came in person."

"So the marriage between the two is real!"

What!

Fang Chengyu reined in his horse, looking aggrieved.

Why did Ning Yunzhao come to Jiu Ling like this? It will have a very bad impact!
