The Emperor's Twelfth Uncle was spoiled by his grandfather because he was the youngest, and he was always arrogant and domineering.

As a result, he met Zhu Zan, who had just returned to the capital and was even more arrogant and domineering. As a result, he got into a fight and was beaten by Zhu Zan.

Zhu Zan beat someone up and then pretended to be dead and blamed the man for the crime.

The Emperor's twelfth uncle was furious.

At that time, the master was in the Imperial Medical Bureau in the capital. The twelfth uncle of the emperor asked the emperor's grandfather to move the master to "revive" Zhu Zan in order to embarrass him.

At that time, she was thinking of asking the master to cure her father's illness, and she was also thinking of secretly running away to become the master's apprentice and learn skills.

That day, he finally managed to escape from the palace by hiding in the vehicle that was transporting spring water, but his master was called away to treat Zhu Zan.

She had no choice but to run to Duke Cheng's Mansion, but the gate of the Mansion was even more difficult to enter and exit than the Imperial Palace.

She had just climbed over the wall along the tree when she was caught. Those people did not show mercy just because she was a child. It was really scary.

Fortunately, the people her father sent to find her arrived, rescued her and brought her back to the palace.

As for how the matter between Zhu Zan and his twelfth uncle was resolved later, she didn't remember clearly, but she remembered the name Zhu Zan because of this incident, even though she had never seen the person.

Later, she followed her master and returned to Beijing once a year, while Zhu Zan followed Duke Cheng in the north. She had no idea whether he came back or not in the meantime, and never heard of him or saw him again.

However, I still have some impression of Duke Cheng, because my father liked him very much. When I was a child, my father once held me in his arms in the study to entertain Duke Cheng, which showed that he treated Duke Cheng as a friend.

She remembered that Duke Cheng was an elegant man, and when he saw her he was not like other ministers who were either wooden, reserved, or gave a perfunctory smile.

He smiled gently and sincerely. Seeing that she was looking at the table eagerly, he took a candied fruit from the plate and handed it to her while her father was not paying attention.

She liked to eat candied fruit, but her teeth were broken, so her father, mother, and sister kept a close eye on her and didn't allow her to eat candy.

She hid the candy given by Duke Cheng for a whole day, but was eventually discovered by the palace maids and mothers.

She was very loyal and did not betray Duke Cheng.

Thinking of this, Miss Jun couldn't help but smile, but also felt a little sad.

Both my father and mother are gone, and so are the good times we had.

Liu'er was shocked when she saw the tears in Miss Jun's eyes.

"Miss..." she asked anxiously, "Did someone bully you?"

Miss Jun smiled and shook her head.

"No." She stroked Liu'er's head. "I just thought about my parents and family."

Both my grandfather and his wife have passed away. It is really sad to lose your family.

Liu'er's eyes also turned red.

Sadness is an emotion that can easily make people sink; once it is released, it is like a flood that breaks through a dam.

And sadness is something that has no meaning.

Miss Jun put away her sorrow and rolled up the drawing paper.

"Take this map and give it to the senior manager if he asks for it. He will need it," she said.

Liu'er responded and took it.

"I'll go to the pharmacy to check out the young master's medicine." Miss Jun said and walked out.

"Miss, you have to make medicine even though you are so tired. It's really hard work." Liu'er said with emotion.

Miss Jun shook her head.

"You have to pay to get something. There is no free benefit in this world." She said. "I don't think it's hard. It's not hard. It's fair. Liu'er, you have to understand this."

Liu'er tilted her head and thought about it.

"It means that there is no such thing as a bargain in this world. Don't be greedy for bargains, because if you try to get a small advantage, you will suffer a big loss." She said, "If you want something, you have to work hard for it. Isn't that right?"

Miss Jun smiled and touched her head.

"Yes, Liu'er understands it very well." She praised.

Liu'er smiled happily.

As night fell, people in each courtyard began to heat water for the evening wash.

Yuanshi stopped while walking on the road and sniffed the air.

"This medicine smells so strong," she said.

Su behind her also sniffed.

"The young master has to take a medicinal bath every night," she said.

Curiosity flashed across Yuan's face.

"Sister, do you think this will work?" she whispered.

"Madam said that she is feeling much better now, so it must be working," Mrs. Su said.

Yuan's eyes flickered.

"What is it for?" she asked. "Does it really cure the disease, or does it allow sex?"

Su coughed lightly, frowned and glared at her.

Yuan didn't care and reached out to grab Su's sleeve.

"Let's go and take a look," she whispered.

Su said hi and retracted his sleeves.

"The young mistress said that no one is allowed to go." She said, "Several maids have been sold at home. Don't provoke her. If she really wants to sell you, the old lady and the mistress can't protect you."

Yuanshi smiled.

"Is it that serious? I think the young mistress has a good temper." She said, but she still stopped after saying this.

"You don't need to test yourself to see if it's serious or not." Mrs. Su said, "This matter is up to the old lady and the first lady. We just need to do our part."

Su's words were as square and boring as she was.

Yuanshi laughed.

"Sister, I really don't know how you were able to please the old master back then." She said, "But the old master just fell in love with you."

Su looked embarrassed.

"Why do you like me? Aren't you the same?" she said.

Yuan held her arm and covered her mouth with her hands while smiling.

"But you are the only one who gave birth to the third daughter." She laughed, "It's because the old man rests in your room more often, not because the old man likes you or anything."

Even though she had been a mother for so many years, Su still couldn't bring herself to accept the joke.

"Don't talk nonsense." She said embarrassedly, "The old man is gone, why are you still talking about likes and dislikes?"

Yes, the man is gone, what’s the point of saying all this.

Yuan also sighed, looking a little confused.

It has been more than ten years and my memory of that man is vague.

"Now that I think about it, I was really idle at the time. I was only thinking about how many times the old man looked at me." She couldn't help but blurt out, "How would I know..."

Who would have known that you can actually live well without a man, and there is still another world for you.

Su glared at her.

"You make it sound like you're glad Grandpa's gone," she said.

Of course not.

Yuan smiled awkwardly, but thought to herself that the man was not as good to her as her wife was to her. It would be better to say that she was sad because of the worries about her future than to say that she was sad because the man died. But later she found that the sky would not fall even without the man.

"Okay, let's go. We'll come up to the counter to settle the accounts tomorrow. Don't make any mistakes or be laughed at by those old shopkeepers." Su said.

Speaking of this, Yuan's brows suddenly lit up.

"It's not easy to laugh at my jokes," she said with a smile.

She took a step forward, and Su followed her for a few steps, then glanced at Fang Chengyu's yard again.

The smell of medicine is really getting stronger and stronger.

The smell of medicine had not dissipated until the early morning.

"Madam, please go to the greenhouse and take a look around." Liu'er said, opening the window. "Our study is full of the smell."

Miss Jun didn't want to go to the greenhouse, she planned to go archery.

Liu'er enthusiastically packed her things and asked the little maids to accompany her, while she arranged the matters in the yard.

In fact, there was nothing to arrange. The most important thing was the young lady's meals. She decided to go to the kitchen in person. Just as she was about to leave, she heard laughter coming from Fang Chengyu's room.

The laughter was fleeting, and then silence ensued.

Fang Chengyu has a lot of things to do in the early morning, so it is convenient for him to change clothes and wash up.

Liu'er was too lazy to go in and take a look.

"No one is allowed to come in." She instructed the maids at the gate and left.

Lingzhi in the room covered her mouth and looked away from the window, smiling at Chengyu with a red face.

"What's there to be afraid of? If there aren't too many people serving you, won't you still be able to laugh?" Fang Chengyu said.

Lingzhi blushed and smiled.

"It's better to be safe. Several sisters have been driven away." She said, looking at Fang Chengyu with some worry and sadness, "If I am also driven away, what will the young master do?"

When she said this she felt that she had said something wrong and her face turned even redder.

"I mean, those newcomers are not as familiar with the place as we are and can serve the young master better," she said hurriedly.

Fang Chengyu looked at her rosy face and clenched his hands slightly on the wheelchair.

"Lingzhi, is this story interesting?" he asked.

Lingzhi looked at the book in Fang Chengyu's hand and nodded.

"It sounds nice," she said.

Fang Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly and his voice became soft.

"There is a better book with a better story. Can I tell it to you?" he asked.

Lingzhi nodded.

"Okay." She said happily.

Fang Chengyu looked at the bed.

"The book is on the bed. Help me to the bed and we'll talk there." He said softly.
