Useless thing?
Old Mrs. Fang looked at her strangely.
"Why is it useless? Wouldn't it be useful to make the Ning family no longer regard you as a thorn in their side? Wouldn't it be useful to have one less enemy?" She asked with a frown.
Miss Jun smiled.
"It would certainly be useful to make the Ning family stop being my enemy, but I can't do that by showing weakness," she said. "For those who are already suspicious of me, showing weakness won't change their goals. Instead, it will make them think that I have other plans and other intentions."
The most crucial thing is that a small Ning family, a few sarcastic women in the inner house, and a few ignorant little girls want her to show weakness.
If she showed weakness to these people, what would she do when she faced them in the future? Would she just kneel down and admit defeat?
Miss Jun picked up her teacup again and rubbed it gently.
"When dealing with such people, we must never show weakness. We must let them know that I know what they are thinking and that they don't like me, and I am not afraid of their dislike." She continued, "We must also let the world know that he and I are enemies. If we are enemies in public and known to everyone, they will be restrained in their actions and will become suspects if something happens."
Unlike the Fang family’s enemy, no one even knew who the enemy was, and even though it was obvious that they had harmed their family, the world only thought that their family was cursed.
That makes sense.
Old Mrs. Fang had a complicated expression.
"Besides, this is just a quarrel between little girls." Miss Jun said softly, "It's not a big deal. Little girls, everyone has a bad temper sometimes."
Old Mrs. Fang glanced at her.
"Just don't let your temper get out of control too much," she said. "If you do, it'll end up causing a big problem."
Miss Jun nodded.
"Yes," she said.
She said yeah instead of yes, and it sounded less like obedience than agreement.
Agree means to agree.
Old Mrs. Fang frowned.
This girl is acting weird now, but as long as she knows her limits, that's fine.
"Have you found the medicine?" Old Mrs. Fang shook off this thought and asked the question that should be her most concerned question.
Miss Jun told her that she had found it.
"But because of the conflict with Zuo Yanzhi in the Golden Mansion, in order to avoid suspicion, I did not go to find everything today." She said, "I will go out again tomorrow."
It is doubtful whether one can go shopping happily while fighting with others.
Old Mrs. Fang nodded.
It seems to be very thoughtful.
"Then let Yuxiu accompany you tomorrow." She said, and only then did she remember to ask, "Yuxiu, are you okay today?"
Miss Jun doesn't get along well with her sisters at home. Although Yuxiu is the smartest of the three granddaughters, this intelligence may not be useful in front of the weird Miss Jun. She was in a hurry just now and didn't bother to ask the maids whether the two had quarreled today.
"It's very quiet and not noisy, which is good." Miss Jun said.
Very quiet? Not noisy?
This review…
Old Mrs. Fang didn't know what to say, so she said nothing. She asked someone to tell Fang Yuxiu that she would accompany Miss Jun out tomorrow. After thinking for a moment, she asked someone to tell her what Miss Jun said about her.
When the maid came over, Fang Yuxiu was being asked by her sisters about what happened today. After hearing what the maid said, the three sisters were a little stunned.
"She actually said that you are very quiet and don't make noise, which is good?" Fang Jinxiu said with a glare, "Is she stupid?"
Fang Yuxiu first deliberately let her go to the crowded Jinlou, and then remained silent and watched the excitement when she was arguing with Zuo Yanzhi. Now she did not complain to Old Madam Fang, but instead said that Fang Yuxiu was very good.
"Second sister is very quiet. Since she wants to buy something, of course she will go to the best place. As for her dispute with Miss Zuo, second sister has no right to speak." Fang Yunxiu said.
So maybe I really didn’t see it.
Fang Jinxiu smacked her lips.
"Second sister, it's not good for you to be too smooth in your words and deeds. Even a fool can't see it. How weak." She said.
Fang Yuxiu smiled, but her brows were furrowed as if she was thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Fang Jinxiu asked, "How about letting me go tomorrow and tell grandma that I admit my mistake and give her a gift as compensation."
Fang Yuxiu smiled and shook her head.
"No, since she likes it, I will accompany her." She said, hesitating, "I just think she is aware of my attitude."
Did you see it? That's right. Jun Zhenzhen is like a fool to those young ladies outside, and can't tell good words from bad ones. But in front of her sisters, she is like a smart person, picking bones in eggs, hearing rain in wind and seeing wind in rain.
She would definitely see something wrong with Fang Yuxiu's attitude, and even if there was nothing wrong, she would still find fault with it.
Fang Jinxiu chuckled.
"You really spent a lot of money to pretend to be the young lady of the Fang family," she said sarcastically.
Fang Yuxiu frowned slightly.
"Maybe I don't care." She said to herself.
Fang Jinxiu sneered.
"It would be strange if she didn't care." She said, "Don't you care that she cheated Zuo Yanzhi out of 150 taels of silver?"
At this point, Fang Jinxiu thought of Fang Yuxiu's narration and burst out laughing. The more she laughed, the funnier it became until she just laughed out loud.
Although Jun Zhenzhen is annoying, she did a really good job on this matter.
That's right, let those ladies also experience the feeling of being bitten by the dog they have been teasing all the time.
Fang Yunxiu also frowned.
"I think so too." She thought for a moment and said, "I just had a fight with Zuo Yanzhi. How could Zuo Yanzhi be willing to stop with her temper? Moreover, there are so many companions, so many people are waiting to cause trouble for her. Instead of avoiding her, she wants to go out again tomorrow."
Having said this, he glanced at Fang Yuxiu.
"If she takes you there, she might make you angry."
Fang Yuxiu smiled.
"She's not afraid, so why should I be afraid of being bullied?" she said.
Because of this, we can't let the eldest sister and the younger sister accompany Jun Zhenzhen out. If the eldest sister goes obediently, she will be scolded in vain, and if the younger sister goes impulsively, she will be plotted against.
"Don't worry, she specifically asked me to go. If I don't go, it would be a slap in her face." Fang Yuxiu said with a smile, "I won't give her this handle. I'm not that stupid."
…
The next day, Miss Jun and Fang Yuxiu left the house just like they did yesterday. No one mentioned what happened yesterday, as if nothing had happened.
Fang Yuxiu recommended a good brothel to her again without any hesitation, and Miss Jun obeyed without hesitation.
Many young ladies recognized them this time, but no one tried to provoke them like Zuo Yanzhi did. Although they pointed and made sarcastic remarks, Miss Jun still finished choosing her jewelry and walked out of the brothel smoothly.
Things were going so smoothly that Fang Yuxiu didn't know whether she should be relieved or more vigilant.
"There's another Jinlou on West Street. Let's go take a look." She said as she was about to get in the car, but she saw Miss Jun who was following her stop.
Miss Jun looked in one direction with a focused expression.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yuxiu asked, and at the same time she became alert and looked in the direction of Miss Jun's sight.
There were no girls as imagined, nor anyone related to the Ning family. There was only a teahouse, which was full of people during the idle winter days. The storyteller had already started his lecture. It was the busiest time even before dinner time.
"Do you want to have some tea and take a break?" Fang Yuxiu asked proactively.
Before she finished speaking, Miss Jun had already walked towards the teahouse.
Did she see who was among them? She knew she wouldn't go back so easily.
Fang Yuxiu followed without making a sound.
Miss Jun did not go in, but stood at the door and looked inside the teahouse.
The storyteller in the teahouse was holding a fan and talking with spit flying all over his mouth.
"...Yes, you heard me right. What I want to tell you is indeed a big news in the capital... Our Northern Zhenfu Division Chief Lu Qianhu is going to marry a princess again..."
Fang Yuxiu, who had just stood up, was startled when she heard the three words "Zhenfusi" and stopped.
The originally bustling teahouse was instantly frozen as if it were poured with a layer of ice.
