Thinking of her master, Miss Jun fell silent.
Since her rebirth, she has tried her best not to think about the past, but there is one person she can actually think about.
This person is her teacher, her father, and her friend.
Seeing Miss Jun's silence, Mrs. Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she still had some self-awareness. But the next moment, Miss Jun nodded.
"Since only Dr. Zhang can save him, then I am also the only one in the world who can cure my cousin's poison," she said.
She said this with such a bold tone, but it was hard not to laugh. Perhaps it was the bitterness in her tone.
It's so sad that her words sounded natural.
Old Mrs. Fang was stunned again and a little annoyed.
"Why?" she said, "Why are you the only one who can do it?"
Because Dr. Zhang is no longer with us.
Three years ago, he finally found the medicine he needed, but at the cost of falling off a cliff.
Miss Jun's hands, which had been placed quietly on her knees, began to tremble slightly, and the suppressed emotions in her heart began to surge.
"...Jun Zhenzhen, what do you mean...what do you think of us..." Old Mrs. Fang's voice continued.
A muffled snap interrupted Mrs. Fang.
Miss Jun slammed her hand on the table.
This action was really rough. Somehow, while looking at this girl, Old Mrs. Fang and First Mrs. Fang had this thought inexplicably. They seemed to think that what this girl did was very surprising.
It's really inexplicable. Hasn't Jun Zhenzhen done enough rude things? What's so surprising?
"It doesn't mean anything. His life is his own. He belongs to your Fang family. If you don't want to treat him, then don't treat him. There's no need to say so much." Miss Jun said. Her voice was still gentle, but her tone was blunt, showing that she was angry.
Mrs. Fang couldn't help but feel nervous.
It's not uncommon for Jun Zhenzhen to be angry. To be exact, Jun Zhenzhen is never not angry in front of them.
It was no big deal for them to be surprised that Jun Zhenzhen was angry, but now she felt inexplicably nervous.
Maybe it's about my son.
Even the calmest and most heartless person will lose his composure when it comes to his own children.
"Zhenzhen, it's not that we don't want to treat him." She said hurriedly, "After all, Chengyu's illness is too serious, and so many people can't cure it. It's really surprising that you suddenly said you can cure it."
Miss Jun glanced at her.
"It's surprising that the medicine my aunt gave to my cousin to treat his illness turned out to be poison," she said.
Mrs. Fang's face turned pale.
I don’t want to make noise or cry like before, but the words I say are so frustrating.
She suddenly remembered that the maid who came back from Beiliu Town said that the Ning family was very angry and scolded Miss Jun for being a rogue and a fraud. Logically speaking, it should be something for the Ning family to be happy about being able to cancel the engagement, so why were they so angry?
Now she vaguely guessed that he was probably very angry about what Miss Jun said.
"No matter what, it's normal for us to be suspicious about this matter. You don't have to be so angry." Old Lady Fang said calmly, "You said that you saw that Chengyu was poisoned and that he could be cured. There is no reason for anyone to believe it."
Miss Jun smiled.
"Whether you believe it or not is your business, whether you can do it is my business. Your life is your own. I am here to save you. I have no reason to convince you," she said.
"What if you can't cure Chengyu..." Mrs. Fang couldn't help but say again.
Miss Jun looked at her again.
"So what did you lose?" she said softly.
Fang Chengyu will die anyway.
Mrs. Fang was choked speechless again.
She thought it was better for the little girl to be more noisy. It was really suffocating and annoying to hear her refute others in such a serious manner.
Old Mrs. Fang looked at Miss Jun and pondered for a moment.
"You're right. I don't need to ask you how you saw it, or how you treat it," she said, "but I must ask you why you did it."
Miss Jun smiled.
"I thought I was the only one who didn't know, but it turns out my grandmother didn't know either," she said. Without waiting for Mrs. Fang to ask again, she continued, "It was my cousin who told me that I had to do this."
Cousin? Fang Chengyu?
Old Mrs. Fang frowned slightly.
"My cousin said that if he died, the Fang family would only be supported by my grandmother and aunt. When my grandmother and aunt died, the Fang family would be finished, and I would have to rely on the Fang family for a living. Without the Fang family, my life would be difficult." Miss Jun said, sighing, "My parents have both passed away, and my life is very difficult. I don't want it to be even worse in the future, so my cousin can't die, and the Fang family can't fall."
Old Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang looked strange.
Is it because of this?
They had already questioned Fang Chengyu's servants many times, and they knew every word that Fang Chengyu and Jun Zhenzhen said in the garden, so they naturally knew that Fang Chengyu had indeed said this.
But this statement is the most basic truth, and it is not just Fang Chengyu who said it. When Jun Zhenzhen first came to Yangcheng and angrily complained about being implicated by the Ning family's low status because of the Ning family's marriage, Fang Jinxiu also scolded her with similar words. Even Old Madam Fang had patiently explained it to her.
Why didn't she think of this then?
"Because at that time, the Fang family was just a temporary place for my relatives." Miss Jun said softly. There was no impatience in her voice. She didn't seem to think that what she said was such a simple truth. She patiently explained it to Old Lady Fang and Mrs. Fang.
Impatience and patience, these words are how Old Lady Fang and Mrs. Fang felt. The reason they felt this way was that what the girl said was something that everyone could think of, which made the questions they asked seem a little ridiculous.
Miss Jun certainly did not regard the Fang family as her relatives or support.
"I am determined to leave your house, just as you are determined to get rid of me." Miss Jun continued.
This sentence made Mrs. Fang feel very familiar.
It was similar to when I picked up this girl not long ago and heard that she had a marriage certificate and I asked her why she didn't take it out. The girl responded by taking it out and the result was quite different.
I know you don't like me.
She knew the ruthless, cold-blooded and cruel truth and accepted it calmly.
Old Mrs. Fang had been scolded by her relatives for being heartless and ungrateful for half her life and she had never felt the slightest bit of shame, but at this moment she felt her ears getting slightly hot.
Pushing the girl away made her feel a little unkind and embarrassed.
Maybe it’s because it concerns the life and death of one’s grandson. When people care about something, they become weak, and when they are weak, they tend to think too much.
The little girl suddenly felt that maybe crying and talking would make people feel more comfortable.
Old Mrs. Fang quickly calmed down. She said nothing and waited quietly for the girl to continue speaking.
"But now I have nowhere to go. The Fang family is my only support, and I don't want to let this support fall." Miss Jun said.
Old Mrs. Fang smiled.
"I see." She said, "You and Chengyu are still young, and it's easy for you to see a small matter as a big deal. In fact, it doesn't have to be like this."
She sighed when she said this.
"When your grandfather died, I thought the sky was going to fall and the Fang family would fall, but it didn't happen. Then your uncle passed away, and I thought the sky was going to fall again and the Fang family would be finished. But now, everyone is living a good life, so."
She pursed her lips and looked at Miss Jun.
"Even if Chengyu dies, our Fang family will not fall. You can rely on us without worry. We wanted you to leave because you wanted to leave. Since you don't want to leave and want to stay, then of course you can stay, not to mention saving Chengyu."
Miss Jun shook her head.
"I don't believe it," she said.
Old Mrs. Fang smiled.
"I am your grandmother. If what I say about you staying in the Fang family with peace of mind is not credible, then what no one else in the Fang family says can be credible," she said.
Miss Jun shook her head again.
"Grandma, it's not that I don't believe what you said, I just don't believe you can keep the Fang family from falling." She said softly, "Look, your enemies have killed my grandfather and uncle one after another, and my cousin is about to die, but you don't even know who your enemies are. You don't think it's a man-made disaster, but a natural disaster, and you're acting like you want to defy fate."
When she said this, she looked at the stunned Old Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang, and her expression was a little embarrassed.
"The Fang family is like a mouse caught by a cat. They think they have escaped, but in fact the cat is just teasing them. Grandma, I really find it hard to believe what you said about me being able to rely on your family."
