When dusk fell, Lei Zhonglian finished sweeping and wiping the hall, then closed the door of Jiuling Hall, and the fragrance filled the backyard.

"It's time to eat." Miss Jun said, and personally brought out two dishes from the kitchen.

The rain has stopped, the air is moist, and the early summer evening is peaceful and pleasant.

Fang Chengyu had already sat down at the table in the corridor.

"I'm so hungry." He smiled as he watched Miss Jun put the food on the table. "We haven't had lunch yet."

"How can you be that hungry if you don't eat a meal?"

Zhu Zan's voice came.

He stepped out of the house, sat down cross-legged, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Miss Jun ignored him and went straight to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"I'm still young and growing." Fang Chengyu looked at him and said seriously, "I get hungry easily, so I can't compare to you, my brother."

Zhu Zan said "oh".

"That's right." He said, reaching out and pinching Fang Chengyu's arm, "It's too thin."

As he spoke, he placed a plate of braised pork in front of Fang Chengyu.

"Come on, eat more meat and grow stronger."

Fang Chengyu looked at the meat in front of him, hesitating.

"I want to eat it, too," he said, and then he sighed and pushed the meat back, "but I'm still taking medicine, so I can't eat it."

Zhu Zan smiled and looked at Miss Jun who came out with a basket of dry grain.

"Is this a clinic?" he asked.

"Yes." Miss Jun said, "Didn't I tell you that I am a herbalist? I don't lie."

Zhu Zan reached out and grabbed a piece of cake, tore the meat into pieces and rolled it up.

"It sounds like everyone is lying," he said. "I'm not lying. I'm also a woodcutter."

He took a big bite of the roll and chewed it fully. He looked at Miss Jun and raised his eyebrows.

He mumbled something with his mouth full of biscuits and meat.

Miss Jun didn't say anything, but invited Lei Zhonglian who came in from the front to have dinner.

Lei Zhonglian picked up some pancakes, meat and vegetables from his plate and sat aside to eat. With the addition of Zhu Zan, the table originally occupied by only Miss Jun and Fang Chengyu seemed very crowded.

It looked crowded and sounded crowded, and Zhu Zan's voice seemed to never stop.

"You're just eating this? What is this? Vegetable leaves."

"I'll treat you like a rabbit."

"I'm talking about real rabbits. I don't mean anything else. Don't get me wrong."

"Hahahaha, you didn't misunderstand. It's even better if you didn't misunderstand."

"Hey, kid, do you know that rabbit has other meanings? It's not right for you to learn bad habits at such a young age."

Lei Zhonglian couldn't sit still any longer and ate a few mouthfuls of rice, so he got up and went to the kitchen.

Miss Jun and Fang Chengyu finished their meal at the same pace as usual, accompanied by Zhu Zan's laughter.

Fang Chengyu ate one more bowl.

Maybe it was because he was happy to be able to walk. Maybe it was because Zhu Zan told him to eat more so he could grow stronger faster.

All in all, it seemed that the guests enjoyed themselves very much.

But does this count as being a guest?

"Do we need to prepare his room?" Lei Zhonglian asked in a low voice as he watched Miss Jun walk into the kitchen.

The dusk faded and the night came on, and the lights inside and outside were about to be turned on.

Is this Mr. Zhu going to say goodbye after this chance meeting, or is he going to stay for a few days and chat with his friends who have come from afar?

Miss Jun turned around and glanced at Zhu Zan, who was standing in the corridor and curiously pulling out the herbs she had hung out to dry.

"He's still worried about us," she said. "Once he's convinced we're harmless, he'll leave."

"Is he in trouble?" Lei Zhonglian asked.

Lei Zhonglian didn't know who he was. When Miss Jun said Zhu Zan's name, only Zhu Zan heard it, and she never mentioned it again. The life-and-death confrontation between the two was also a moment.

So Lei Zhonglian knew that this person had trouble, but he didn't know what kind of trouble it was.

His worries were that this man was extremely dangerous and unpredictable, and that he would bring trouble and threaten them.

Miss Jun smiled.

"Don't worry, we have problems too," she said. "Too many lice won't itch, but too many problems will cause trouble to everyone, and it's just right that no one can be at ease."

Do we have troubles too?

Lei Zhonglian thought that they did have troubles, but the Fang family had already sent a message saying that all the family issues had been resolved.

Unexpectedly, the mastermind behind this was actually Shopkeeper Song.

Although some people are not very interested in the business of Fang's bank, after so many years in the Fang family, they have come to know that Manager Song is a very good person.

It is true that you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart.

And he is so patient that he can continue to hide the harm to an entire family for their entire lives.

But now is not the time to talk about that.

Lei Zhonglian thought of the letter he had just received.

"The old lady asked us to go back. The staff at Caizhou Prefecture Bank are also ready. Madam, when will we set off?" he asked.

"There are people coming to our house. Let's wait until they arrive before leaving." Miss Jun said.

The letter arrived quickly, but the horses and soldiers were slow, and while the letter was being delivered, the guards carefully selected by the Fang family were also on their way.

Lei Zhonglian was not surprised by the old lady's behavior.

After all, this is the only bloodline of the Fang family, and there have been incidents where a male member of the Fang family died on the road.

Although we already know that it was Shopkeeper Song who did it and has been arrested, it is always better to be cautious.

"I wonder if the origins of those who were not bandits back then have been uncovered?" he couldn't help but ask.

This is Lei Zhonglian’s obsession.

"We'll find out when we get back." Miss Jun smiled and said, "They said we'll interrogate Zhan when we get back. The crime will be announced in public, and all the previous things will surely be revealed."

Lei Zhonglian replied yes.

"Nine years old!"

Fang Chengyu's voice came from there.

Miss Jun looked over and saw Fang Chengyu being held by Zhu Zan, with a look of grievance on his face.

Lei Zhonglian tensed up immediately.

Although I don’t know why Miss Jun seems to be very confident in this man, Master Fang’s situation is special after all.

"What are you doing?"

Miss Jun walked over quickly and said unhappily.

Zhu Zan let go of his hand, also looking unhappy.

"You are such a child, you always call others names." He said, "You are not ashamed."

Miss Jun grabbed Fang Chengyu's hand and hid him behind her.

"I'm just a child." Fang Chengyu said to Zhu Zan seriously, "I can't take care of myself, so of course I have to call others. Otherwise, I will show off my ability and cause trouble, which will still cause trouble to others."

Zhu Zan looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"This is the first time I've seen someone act so self-righteously like a child." He said with a glare.
