In the room, Miss Jun was sitting at a desk.
She had just finished flipping through all the books on the shelf, and as expected, she didn't find what she was looking for.
How could Master's medical books be seen in the world?
By the way, there was one thing she hadn't finished yet, which was to sort out her master's medical books. So it would be nice to be able to continue living, at least she could live up to her master's trust.
Liu'er yawned and watched Miss Jun pick up the golden needle.
"What do you want to play, miss?" she asked.
The young lady had played a lot this morning and she was a little tired.
"This is not a joke." Miss Jun said. She was twisting a golden needle in her hand and turning it against the sunlight by the window. Mrs. Fang who was standing in the yard happened to see it and felt a little dizzy.
It's not that she hasn't seen golden needles before, but what made her dizzy was this incident.
She had done so many things before, and was finally able to drive the girl out of the Fang family completely and reasonably with careful and gradual steps, but the girl's words broke everything.
Mrs. Fang felt that what she had done was like a big blister, which looked powerful, but was no match for the golden needle that the girl took out.
Mrs. Fang took a deep breath. This was ridiculous. Just as Mrs. Fang said, it was just a coincidence. It was just nonsense that the girl said casually. She should forget it immediately and continue to do what she should do.
But she didn't move.
"The eldest lady."
Liu'er's voice came from inside the room. Mrs. Fang looked at the slightly deformed face of the girl pasted on the window glass, and then the window was pushed open.
"Madam, what are you doing here?"
The girl did not come to greet him, but instead looked a little unhappy at being disturbed.
Miss Jun also looked over. She was neither surprised nor displeased at her arrival. She put down the golden needle and stood up.
"Aunt." She bowed and then stood up straight, looking at her quietly with her big eyes.
Those eyes seemed to be asking her why she came.
Mrs. Fang suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
When she learned of her husband's death and her son's terminal illness, she couldn't wake up every morning. The thought of what she would have to face when she woke up would make her die in agony.
But at that time, there was another voice in her heart telling her to wake up and see if she really had no choice but to die. So she forced herself to open her eyes, and she has lived until now.
It was the same now. When she thought about the questions she wanted to ask this girl, she didn't want to ask them at all.
But instead of being so painful, why not just ask whether it is true or not? Why bother yourself?
The maid at the door opened the curtain after getting Miss Jun's permission, and Mrs. Fang walked in without hesitation.
"Zhenzhen, did you meet Chengyu yesterday?" she asked straight to the point.
Liu Er pouted.
"Paralytics always cry and complain," she muttered.
Mrs. Fang never argues with servants, as that would only lower her status.
If the servant does anything wrong, her master will take responsibility for it.
"Yes." Miss Jun said, "Aunt wants to ask something specific?"
Mrs. Fang nodded, then turned to give instructions to the maid beside her.
"You go down first." she said.
After he finished speaking, the man was slightly stunned.
Miss Jun asked this superfluous question, is she trying to get the bystanders to avoid their private conversation?
How could this girl have such thoughts? Was I just overthinking it subconsciously?
"Go make some tea." Miss Jun also said to Liu'er, and then paused, "Watch those people outside, don't let them eavesdrop on me."
Liu'er, who was originally unhappy about being chased out, immediately nodded happily and solemnly. This was an important task assigned to her by the young lady. These servants of the Fang family were not reliable at all. She would definitely block the door to prevent them from getting close to eavesdrop.
Seeing Liu'er go out happily, Mrs. Fang pursed her lips with a complicated expression and said nothing more.
Miss Jun and Mrs. Fang were the only ones left in the room.
"Aunt, please take a seat." Miss Jun said.
Mrs. Fang sat down, and Miss Jun sat opposite her, pretending to listen to the instructions of her elders.
Mrs. Fang didn't know what to say for a moment. She and Miss Jun had not been alone together very often, and she couldn't remember if Miss Jun had always been so docile.
"Zhenzhen, I heard from them that you can cure Chengyu's poison?" She looked at Miss Jun, "What does this mean?"
Miss Jun smiled.
"I had never looked closely at my cousin before, and only realized something was wrong when I saw him this time. I was a little unsure and needed to think about it, so I didn't have the time to tell my grandmother and aunt," she said.
Mrs. Fang's heart began to beat wildly.
So what this means is that she is not just talking nonsense and not looking for them, but she has not thought it through yet.
"You, what do you mean? What's the matter with poisoning?" She clenched her hands on her knees.
"Aunt, don't you know that your cousin is like this now?" Miss Jun said, looking at Mrs. Fang calmly, "Didn't you feed him the poison yourself?"
she!
Mrs. Fang felt as if she saw the golden needle again, easily piercing her heart.
She originally wanted to hint gently or give some guidance and questions lightly. In short, she didn't want to show how serious she was about this matter. However, this plan was shattered after she said just two sentences.
This sentence was more powerful than the one about being poisoned, so much so that Mrs. Fang couldn't even utter a word of questioning. She suddenly stood up and rushed out.
Liu'er, who was standing outside the door, was almost hit.
"What are you doing?" she shouted.
Mrs. Fang naturally ignored her and stumbled out of the door. The maids and servants who were sent out of the yard just shouted back.
The first wife had just gone in and they had just stood in the yard for a while when the first wife rushed out again, still with a look of heartbreak.
They clearly did not hear any crying or noise from Miss Jun in the room.
What was going on? They ran out in panic.
Liu'er ran into the room.
"Miss, what did you say to scare the first wife away?" She asked curiously, with a hint of pride, "Miss, you are so powerful, you should have done this a long time ago, you shouldn't have let her make noise in front of us before."
Miss Jun didn't expect that Mrs. Fang was so easily frightened.
"I may have said it too aggressively. I should have said it more slowly." She said, shaking her head again, with a bit of helplessness, "It's a pity that I don't have that much time to waste."
…
"Didn't I tell you not to think about it? Why are you still asking her?"
Old Mrs. Fang said bitterly, looking at Mrs. Fang who was kneeling and crying in front of her.
Mrs. Fang had not cried like this on her knees for many years. She only did so when her son died and her grandson was diagnosed as incurable.
This girl, Jun Zhenzhen, has really become more capable after dying once.
Old Mrs. Fang thought bitterly.
"Mother." Mrs. Fang grabbed her hand and burst into tears, "She knows, she knows that I harmed Chengyu, she knows that I was the one who gave Chengyu the poison."
Old Mrs. Fang's hand that was grabbed also froze.
This poisoning rumor is indeed not just a random guess.
Who told her this? What was the intention of the person who told her this?
Old Mrs. Fang's expression suddenly became sharp. She stood up, looked at Mrs. Fang again, and held her hand tightly.
"Suniang, you didn't kill Chengyu. We were also victims." She said, pulling Mrs. Fang up. "Don't cry. Crying is useless. Let's go and ask her what she wants to do."
