Ning Yunyan thought this was ridiculous.

How can a quarrel and swearing between these nice girls be linked to dissatisfaction with the emperor?

"That's impossible," she blurted out.

"It's not impossible." Ning Yunzhao looked at Ning Yunyan, "Yanyan, didn't you say that Miss Hu was knocked down by Miss Jun?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Ning Yunyan nodded, "So..."

"So maybe Miss Jun had already thought of what I'm thinking of now." Ning Yunzhao interrupted her and smiled again, "Maybe she is waiting for us to come to her house now."

So he tripped Miss Hu just to have a good laugh, then anger Ning Yunyan and the others, and then take the opportunity to defame the Ning family.

"No, it's impossible." Ning Yunyan said in astonishment.

Jun Zhenzhen? That stupid Jun Zhenzhen?

"Yanyan, do you still remember what Miss Jun said in public before she left?" Ning Yunzhao asked.

At that time, I was already mad with anger because of the insults, so I didn't care what she said. I just remember saying that if she had the guts, I would send her to my house and post the invitation.

Ning Yunyan did not respond.

"You don't remember, but the people of Yangcheng remember. They all said that Miss Jun said that you were unhappy because I laughed, so you sent me a note asking me to kneel down and apologize to you." Ning Yunzhao said, "You see, she emphasized the laughter and that you were unhappy. In fact, these words were not said to you, but to the people around you and to the Jinyiwei."

Ning Yunyan moved her lips, but her head was buzzing and she bit her lower lip.

"Mother, aunt, people will only think that we are unhappy because of her laughter. As for why she laughed, you can say yours and she can say hers. Messy rumors are spreading everywhere. We must not give people a chance to discuss this matter." Ning Yunzhao said, "Even if the Jinyiwei in Yangcheng will not really come out to interrogate us, no one can guarantee that this matter will not spread to the capital."

Spread to the capital.

Madam Ning's expression froze.

"You also know that those people in the Jinyiwei are the most capable of making trouble out of nothing and are the most cunning. What people say can change easily after being passed around. What will happen to this quarrel between girls..." Ning Yunzhao looked at his mother, his tone became more serious, and he smiled bitterly, "Maybe I really think too much, but mother, think about it, if we really go to the Fang family to argue, then if Miss Jun and the Fang family don't want to give in, will they burn their boats?"

Think about it.

Madam Ning thought about the five thousand taels of silver that were cheated out of her by that woman, and the fact that she was still angry even after the marriage was called off, so she couldn't sleep for three days.

I thought of Yunyan saying that the woman scolded Ning Shigong in public for comparing his worth with the fireworks girl.

"Don't think about it." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "He is a rogue. We were careless this time."

This time?

This happened not just this time, but several times.

What’s even worse is that this time the older brother, who was already very tired, suffered a great loss and there was nothing he could do about it.

Even my brother can't do anything about it.

Ning Yunyan clenched her hands and trembled, then burst into tears.

…

Ning Yunyan cried herself to sleep. Madam Ning came out of the room looking a little tired. Ning Yunzhao, who had been sitting outside, stood up quickly.

Madam Ning saw that he was holding a book in his hand and had writing brushes and ink on the table. It was obvious that he was not just pretending to kill time, but was actually reading.

A smile of relief appeared in Madam Ning's eyes.

My son is as calm as a mountain and will never be disturbed by the outside world.

"You must be tired after the journey. Go and rest." She said softly.

"I'm young and strong, so I'm not tired from walking all this way." Ning Yunzhao said, "But mother, you have to take more care of Yanyan and make sure she doesn't fight with Miss Jun anymore."

Madam Ning sighed lightly.

"She is still young and has a bad temper, and she is talking to Miss Jun." She said, "I can't swallow this."

Ning Yunyan was not the only one who couldn't swallow this.

Ning Yunzhao smiled. Seeing through the truth but not saying it out loud is also a way of being filial to the elders.

He held out his hand and helped Madam Ning out, with the maids and servants following from a distance.

"That child is indeed outrageous." Madam Ning said in a low voice, "I don't know whether it was our Ning family's fault in our previous life or the Jun family's fault."

Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"In this case, mother should persuade my sister. Miss Jun can make a scene like that, but my sister can't." He said, "Miss Jun made a scene because she felt that we owed her something and couldn't swallow it. What is my sister trying to achieve by making a scene?"

Madam Ning also laughed and said, "You're right. To deal with this woman, you have to retreat in order to advance."

"You don't know where your sister has met that kind of person..." she said, her voice soft but full of contempt, and she swallowed back what she was about to say.

Even though people like that know that they will never have any intersection in this life, they still don't want to even mention it in front of their son.

Just listening to it makes my ears dirty.

"I know what you mean. The truth is not in the loudness of the voice." She patted Ning Yunzhao's hand and said calmly, "I will keep Yanyan under control."

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but add another sentence.

"How can fine porcelain withstand the impact of her tiles?"

Ning Yunzhao smiled and nodded, and Madam Ning held his hand and asked him about his journey and about his food, clothing, housing and transportation in the capital.

Ning Yunzhao was answering his mother's questions, but his mind was a little distracted. He was wondering, what kind of person is that Miss Jun?

If Yanyan hadn't said that it was she who tripped Miss Hu, he wouldn't have cared about Miss Jun. The reason why he stopped his family from going to the Fang family was actually because he didn't want to create too much estrangement with the Fang family.

Now that my uncle's career has reached the most critical moment, he must be cautious in everything. Although the Fang family is a merchant family, a group of women and children certainly did not survive to this day by being timid and fearful.

But when he learned that Miss Hu was tripped deliberately by Miss Jun, he felt that what he wanted to see might not be the Fang family, but this Miss Jun.

Did she trip Miss Hu intentionally or accidentally?

So is what she thinks the same as what I think?

What kind of person is she?

However, if she really did it on purpose, she is really an unpleasant woman.

It's just a quarrel between girls, why is it so serious?

Acerbic? Mean? Vicious?

He shook his head and chased away the words. No matter who the person was, he had nothing to do with him.

He is eighteen years old this year and will take the imperial examination next year.

Ning Yunzhao lowered his head and listened attentively to what Madam Ning said, walking slowly along the road.

…

Miss Jun stood up in front of the wooden stake, unbuttoned her sleeves, and looked at Old Mrs. Fang who was rushing over.

"No one has come to visit the Ning family yet?" she asked.

Old Mrs. Fang seemed a little regretful when she heard her words.

Are you really waiting for someone from the Ning family to come?

She couldn't help but want to question, but she held it back.

"It's already the seventh day and the New Year is almost here. I think this matter is over," she said.

Miss Jun said "Oh" and reached out to pat the wooden stake.

There was a moment of silence between the two.

"No matter what, you must not act like this again in the future. This time it was just a coincidence..." said Old Mrs. Fang with a stern face.

Miss Jun turned around before she finished her words.

"No." She interrupted her, "It's not a coincidence, but God is fair."

What does this have to do with God?

Old Mrs. Fang frowned.

"Otherwise, those people wouldn't have happened to do that at that time." Miss Jun looked at her seriously and said, "So this is God's arrangement."

At that time, the Jinyiwei people were asking storytellers to tell stories about the capital. Wasn't that just a coincidence?

Sometimes this child is so rational that it's frightening, and sometimes he is so stubborn like an ignorant child.

Old Mrs. Fang frowned.

Miss Jun said nothing more, bowed and walked away.

Old Mrs. Fang shook her head, feeling relieved that the matter was finally over. However, she felt that it was not really a big deal, as she was completely done with the Ning family.

But it doesn't matter. The grudge has actually been there for a long time and it just can't be resolved.

It's not that it can't be solved. It could have been solved. If it weren't for this girl...

Old Mrs. Fang was thinking about all sorts of things and felt an indescribable feeling. She lowered her head and saw the wooden stake and immediately raised her brows.

"Someone come, someone come, the wooden stakes are loose." She said unhappily.

The old woman standing far away hurried over.

"I'll fix it here," she replied carefully.

Old Mrs. Fang stared at the wooden stake for several seconds.

"Put up another stake." She muttered, "I don't know where you got the strength to loosen all my stakes."

She looked at the girl who had already walked away. Although it was winter and she was wearing thick clothes, the girl did not look bloated at all and she still walked gracefully.

Miss Jun walked steadily with her back straight. Yes, God was fair, otherwise why would he let her live again?

That is to give her justice.

It’s a pity that this time, the women and children from the Ning family did not come to visit.

Logically speaking, the women and children were very capable and it was just a small quarrel among the children, so there was no need to alarm the men in the family.

Why did she really think about it? The three ladies of the Ning family that she had met would not do this.

Who made them figure it out?

Whoever it is, it's a disgusting person.

Miss Jun raised her head and glanced at the winter sky. She could smell the smell of firecrackers in her nostrils, and for the first time, a hint of girlish playful resentment appeared on her face.

She wasn't very old, but she died one more time than others, so she always felt that she was old.

Trying to use this incident to pit the Ning family against Lu Yunqi, and using the Ning family to deal with Lu Yunqi, was originally a slim hope.

They are people of such high status, with such deep thoughts, and who have experienced so many storms. What I am doing is probably like an ant trying to shake a big tree.

But there is no need to be discouraged. There is a saying that goes "A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole." Although the goal is so small, it is not out of reach.

Miss Jun shook her head slightly, shook off her slight frustration, and walked forward steadily.

God brought her back to life, who can stop her?
