This little girl!

Miss Jun laughed and glanced at Mrs. Fang who had disappeared at the door. "She's really pitiful," she said.

Although she has no sons, she still has a group of granddaughters, a filial daughter-in-law, a harmonious family, and countless wealth. Old Mrs. Fang, who has the final say, is pitied by her granddaughter who has no parents, no money, and is despised by everyone. If Old Mrs. Fang heard this, she would probably be in tears and amused.

Liu'er nodded in agreement.

"Sometimes I feel like I'm the most pitiful person in the world, but then I think about it, there are so many pitiful people in this world." Miss Jun said, and she and Liu'er turned back to the house, "Since everyone suffers, there's nothing to suffer."

Liu'er seemed to understand what he said, but not quite.

"Miss, you are right." But she still nodded seriously.

Anyway, the lady is right.

Miss Jun touched her head.

"Is shadow puppetry fun?" she asked. "Do you know how to play it?"

Liu'er nodded happily.

"It's fun, Miss, I'll perform for you." She said, then became frustrated, "But I've never seen a shadow play, so I don't know how to perform."

"There will be a lantern festival during the Lantern Festival. There will definitely be one then. Just go and have a look." Miss Jun said.

"Is it okay? Is it okay?" Liu'er asked happily.

"Of course." Miss Jun said.

Some things were too difficult for her to do now, but letting the little girl go out to watch a shadow play was really not a big deal.

Just when Miss Jun decided to go out for the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Fang also heard someone make this request.

"Do you want to go out to see the lanterns?" she asked in surprise, looking at the young man sitting in the wheelchair in front of her.

Fang Chengyu nodded.

"I remember watching it once when I was a kid." He said with a gentle smile, "I feel pretty good this year, so I want to watch it again."

Maybe this will be the only time I'll see it in the future.

Fang Chengyu rarely makes requests.

When he was five years old and just got sick, he took a lot of medicine and avoided many foods. How could a child who had just tasted the delicacies of the world resist the temptation of appetite?

But no one in the family dared to let him eat it. They hid it from him, warned him against it, and Fang Chengyu was so greedy that he almost went crazy. When he saw the cakes that the servants had eaten fell on the ground, he actually climbed down from the bed to pick them up and eat them. Mrs. Fang, who came in, saw it. She cried and fainted on the spot, and almost died in bed for three days.

From then on, Fang Chengyu never asked for anything again. He ate whatever Old Madam Fang and First Madam Fang told him to eat and did whatever they told him to do.

I haven't been out of the house for nearly nine years, let alone seen the lanterns. I am isolated from the world.

That's because he didn't want his family to worry about him, so he didn't ask for anything, just to make his family feel at ease.

But he is also a person, and as a person, how can he not have his own preferences and wishes?

After being suppressed for so many years, maybe it is the last moment and I want to let loose.

Old Mrs. Fang just felt her eyes turn pale.

"Okay." She said without thinking, "Every year our Fang family buys lanterns for a whole street. This time we'll buy one more street."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Jinxiu clapped her hands.

"Okay, okay." She said in an exaggerated way, frowning again. "Then shouldn't we make more lanterns this year?"

Fang Yunxiu seemed afraid that Fang Chengyu didn't know.

"Every year during the Lantern Festival, our family makes lanterns by ourselves," she explained to him with a smile.

It was fun at first, but later on it became a way for them to express their wishes for blessings.

Of course, Fang Chengyu had never done these things.

Fang Chengyu smiled and nodded.

"I know. I'll give it a try this time," he said.

"It would be great if we could make more lanterns this time." Fang Yuxiu said suddenly.

There are only ten days left until the Lantern Festival. All other lanterns have been customized. Even if we book one more street, it will only cost a few more dollars. It doesn’t matter. The difficulty is that everyone wants to make a few more lanterns. Although the materials are ready, it still takes time.

Everyone looked at her in confusion.

"This way I don't have to do homework and can just have fun making lanterns." Fang Yuxiu said.

Everyone in the room laughed.

Although Old Mrs. Fang was smiling, she felt a little bitter in her heart.

The granddaughters don’t actually have time to play. They are busy every day, always ready to shoulder the burden of the family.

"You wish." She said with a deliberately stern face, "It won't interfere with your studies."

As she spoke, she looked at the maids in the room and waved her hand.

"Everyone in the family is going to make lanterns. This year, our Fang family will take charge of the Yangcheng Lantern Festival. Whoever makes the most and the best lanterns will win the first prize at the Lantern Festival and receive a reward of 1,000 taels of silver."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the maids in the room became even more excited.

That's one thousand taels.

In the past, the best lanterns would naturally be selected at the Lantern Festival, but that was just for fun. This time, the Fang family put out a thousand taels of silver as a prize, and the whole Yangcheng was so excited that no one knew how much fun it would be.

Mrs. Fang hurried over when she heard the news.

"Mom, this, this is not good," she said.

Mrs. Fang had never refuted Mrs. Fang in front of so many people. The room became quiet and the maids hurriedly left with the servants.

"Chengyu is getting married after all, and there will be a lot of people around on the Lantern Festival. It's not a good idea to go out." Mrs. Fang said anxiously.

"Mother, let's send more people to stand on the street." Fang Jinxiu said hurriedly.

Send more people?

I don’t even know who the enemy is, and I don’t even know how to defend myself. What’s the point of defending myself against anyone?

Mrs. Fang glanced at her without saying anything, but looked at Old Mrs. Fang with a bit of pleading.

Old Mrs. Fang naturally thought of it as well, and her expression darkened.

Fang Chengyu saw it and smiled.

"I was just saying that. Every year I decorate my house with lanterns, and they look the same as those outside," he said.

Fang Jinxiu stared anxiously, while Fang Yunxiu and Fang Yuxiu also looked at Old Lady Fang pleadingly.

Old Mrs. Fang had a complicated expression.

"Go ask Miss Jun." She said suddenly.

Fang Jinxiu and others were stunned.

What does it mean?

Could it be that Mrs. Fang now needs Miss Jun's permission for any decision she makes?

Are you kidding?

But this was obviously not a joke, nor were they hallucinating, because Mrs. Fang immediately responded yes.

"Okay, I'll go ask her." She said, with a somewhat relaxed look on her face. Without waiting for anyone to say anything else, she turned around and hurried out.

The Fang Jinxiu sisters were stunned.

Compared to the astonishment of his sisters, Fang Chengyu's expression remained calm, with only a hint of mockery flashing across his eyes, which he then immediately looked away and lowered.

When Miss Jun told Mrs. Fang about Old Lady Fang's decision and then asked if it was okay, she was very calm. She didn't look impatient nor complacent.

"Of course." She thought about it seriously and said.

"But what if someone takes the opportunity to hurt Chengyu..." Mrs. Fang said worriedly.

Even if you can detoxify, it's useless if the person is dead.

Miss Jun smiled.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Chengyu is a dead man in the eyes of those people. They won't care." She said, "To them, no matter what you do, it's like a cicada that only has a few days left to live. The louder you chirp, the more panicked you appear."

This is meant to comfort people, right? But it really doesn't sound good.

Mrs. Fang frowned slightly.
