Mrs. Fang's room fell into silence.

"You are indeed very courageous." Mrs. Fang suddenly smiled and said, "No wonder you dare to do so many incredible things."

Miss Jun also smiled.

"It's just a call for justice," she said.

Old Mrs. Fang nodded.

"The so-called fairness means that there are gains and losses. Your great-grandfather was just a commoner, who worked as a small trader, but he could not always have enough to eat. In years of disaster and famine, he could not even support his children. Your great-grandmother died because she was sick and could not afford to see a doctor or take medicine." She said, sitting up straight and pointing her finger around. "Look at today, any piece of decoration in this house can be used to pay for a poor family's food and drink for a year or even a lifetime."

She looked outside again.

"I eat the best food, drink the best drinks, wear the best clothes, and I am famous in Yangcheng, Shanxi, and now in the world. No one dares to offend me."

She looked at Miss Jun with a smile on her face.

"Zhenzhen, is this fair? I don't think Jun did anything wrong. This is the path the Fang family chose." Her expression became increasingly solemn when she said this.

“Even if it’s a dead end, we have to keep going.”

Her expression was resolute, but Miss Jun also saw a hint of despair in it. Yes, if the king wants his subject to die, the subject has to die. How can this not be a kind of despair?

All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects. This king wants to kill you, how can you escape?

Rather than struggling in vain and bringing trouble to the younger generation, it is better to choose to die decisively. Perhaps this will guarantee a way out for your descendants.

She blamed Old Lady Fang a little bit, and Miss Jun's eyes were slightly sad.

"Grandmother, you still don't understand what I mean." She said, "I mean that the emperor you believe in is not the current emperor. You forgot that this imperial edict was given by the late emperor."

Old Mrs. Fang looked at her.

"Yes, it was given by the late emperor, but they are all Jun, what's the difference?" she said.

"Of course there is a difference. Jun is not just one person. I don't think the late emperor meant for the minister to die." Miss Jun said, "Now what Jun has done is against the late emperor's intention, so I say you are wrong in your belief."

Is that so?

Old Mrs. Fang sat up straight and looked at her, scrutinizing her.

"Why do you think so?" she asked. "What do you know?"

Because the current emperor killed his brother and forced the previous emperor to death to seize the throne.

"Because he is a bad man." Miss Jun said.

Old Mrs. Fang laughed.

"You are so..." she said.

The childish words were never uttered.

This girl has done so many things, how can she really be childish? She has been in the capital for a long time and has dealt with the emperor many times. Perhaps something has made her have such an understanding.

"Zhenzhen..." She calmed down a little and sat up straight, "This matter..."

"Grandmother, is this bank opened by the Fang family for the late emperor?" Miss Jun took over her words and asked directly, "You are doing business for the late emperor."

This sentence was finally made clear.

Although everyone already knows it.

Old Mrs. Fang remained silent.

"You didn't tell me this. I guessed it. It's easy to guess. There's the late emperor's decree and your sudden wealth twenty years ago." Miss Jun didn't ask Mrs. Fang to answer and continued speaking.

Yes, once the imperial edict was taken out, half of the Fang family's secret would be exposed. This was also the reason why she had kept it secret for so many years and never revealed it to anyone, until she went to find Jun Zhenzhen.

Old Mrs. Fang smiled.

"I don't think this is a bad thing, so it's strange that my grandfather and uncle Chengyu were killed one after another." Miss Jun said, looking at Mrs. Fang, "Grandma, you don't even think that it was Jun who wanted you to die, because this is unreasonable and irrational."

Yes, Mrs. Fang’s eyes were filled with sadness.

"So, grandma, I'm not saying that if the emperor wants us to die, we must refuse to die. We can die, but at least we must die knowingly." Miss Jun leaned over to hold Mrs. Fang's knees and looked at her anxiously, "We must know why we are dying and who wants us to die. We can't be confused. This is not necessarily loyalty to the emperor. On the contrary, it is very likely that we are violating the emperor's orders, the orders of the late emperor."

Old Mrs. Fang looked at her, and her expression finally softened a little.

"Zhenzhen, but the late emperor is no longer with us," she said.

"People leave their names behind, just as wild geese leave their voices behind. Even if the late emperor is no longer around, it is not the case that the current emperor can do whatever he wants." Miss Jun said.

He said such childish words again. Old Mrs. Fang smiled bitterly again.

"Isn't it just what he says? What can we do about it?" she said.

"Of course, what can he do? If he wasn't afraid of you, why would he be so cautious and sneaky?" Miss Jun said, "He went to great lengths to get the imperial edict, and then he was so cautious to let you open the Tianzi Library. It's obvious that he's afraid of something."

Old Mrs. Fang's expression changed for a moment.

"So what?" she said.

"I don't know about other things for now, but as of now, we must not give them what they want." Miss Jun said, holding Mrs. Fang's hand tightly.

So that's it, Mrs. Fang pondered.

"Even if we use the fight for the family property to delay it, it won't last long." She said after a moment of hesitation.

Finally he gave in. Miss Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face.

"We can delay it for a while, and this delay may force them to do other things and reveal more flaws," she said. "Anyway, now we are in the dark and they are in the light. We are no longer fish that can be slaughtered at will."

Old Mrs. Fang sighed and said nothing more.

"And, grandma." Miss Jun held her hand again, "I won't ask you what happened in the past that you cannot tell anyone about. Can I take a look at the Tianzi Library?"

Old Mrs. Fang's expression changed slightly, and the hand she was holding clenched.

Miss Jun did not let go and moved closer to Mrs. Fang.

"I just wanted to see what they were so eager and careful to take," she said. "And this is exactly what we can threaten them with."

Old Mrs. Fang was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"It's nothing, just what you guessed." She said, "At the beginning, it was said that only one person in the Fang family could know this secret, and I could tell Chengyu when I die."

As she spoke, she seemed to have made up her mind, took out a bunch of keys, and looked at Miss Jun.

"You are not from the Fang family."

…

As night fell, the lights in the Fang family's home were dimmer than usual, just like the Fang family's mood over the past few days.

It always feels bad when brothers and sisters fight over the family property.

There was no one in sight in the east wing, and there seemed to be no lights, but this was the most heavily guarded area, and no one could approach easily, because this was where the entrance to the Tianzi Library was located.

Torches suddenly lit up in the yard, the oil sizzled as it burned, illuminating two figures, one old and one young.

"Actually, this is my second time entering this warehouse," said Mrs. Fang, her expression reminiscing under the torchlight. "The first time was when your grandfather was dying."

"No one of us will die this time," said Miss Jun.

Old Mrs. Fang smiled, bent over and turned the key on the large bluestone a few times, then reached out and grabbed the embroidered ball in the mouth of the lion carved on the bluestone and pressed hard.

The large bluestone suddenly sank in, revealing a hole. It was not pitch black inside, but there was a faint light within sight.

"Come on." Mrs. Fang said, and she slowly slid down by holding on to both sides.

The secret of the Fang family was finally revealed. No, to be exact, the secret of the royal grandfather, the secret of the Prince of Qi. If she had not been reborn, she would never have known that such an ordinary family in such a faraway place was related to the royal family.

Miss Jun jumped in swiftly holding a torch.
