Upon hearing that Madam Yu was coming, Zhu Zan ran away.

Miss Jun washed, changed her clothes, and ate a bowl of hot porridge. She felt much more energetic. She estimated that she had said most of what she needed to say at the reunion of the family of three, so she got up and went to where Duke Cheng was.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Mrs. Yu's laughter.

"How could that be? I didn't intend to sell you to Qinghe Bo as his son-in-law when I went to see him." She said, "Besides, your worth is not even enough for the betrothal gift he wants."

"So you sold me for 100,000 taels." Zhu Zan's dissatisfied voice followed, "Mom, you really just want to take advantage of me, but it's not that easy to take advantage of a woman."

"How can you talk like that? You have no manners!" Madam Yu shouted immediately, and at the same time Zhu Zan's cry of pain was heard.

"If you have something to say, please say it nicely and don't hit the child." Duke Cheng said in a gentle voice.

"He's already so old, but he's still a child." Mrs. Yu said, "Don't indulge him all the time."

This is truly a strict mother and a kind father.

Miss Jun, who was standing at the door, had a strange look on her face, but the soldiers guarding the door looked as if they were used to it and even nodded to Miss Jun.

They neither reported nor obstructed, and treated Miss Jun exactly the same as Zhu Zan.

Duke Cheng did not treat her as an outsider, but she could not really stop treating herself as an outsider.

Miss Jun stopped at the door and signaled the guard to report before going in.

"Miss Jun."

Seeing Miss Jun coming in, Mrs. Yu stepped forward and bowed without saying a word.

Miss Jun hurriedly reached out to help.

Seeing that she was supporting herself with one hand and her body was almost not bent, Zhu Zan raised his eyebrows.

This is a very high attitude, and it is completely politeness from the superior to the inferior.

Madam Yu did not care about these. She held Miss Jun's hand and had a lot to say, such as asking her why she made such a big decision without saying a word, scolding her for doing such a dangerous thing, and thanking her profusely for saving the Duke. In the end, all these words turned into one sentence in the woman's smile.

"Miss Jun, you are such a good girl." She patted Miss Jun's hand and said sincerely, "I have no way to repay you."

"Mrs. Yu, you don't have to be so polite." Miss Jun said with a smile, and patted her hand with her backhand, "Just give me the money."

Mrs. Yu laughed.

"Ms. Jun," she sighed again, "How much money can you get in return for what you did?"

After saying this, he glanced at Zhu Zan.

Miss Jun subconsciously followed her gaze.

Zhu Zan, who was pouting on the side, suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

"Hey, mom, you can't say that." He said hurriedly, "You are trying to cheat me."

Madam Yu glared at him.

"I owe you nothing," she said.

Zhu Zan smiled.

"Mother, you still don't understand Miss Jun. Miss Jun is a businesswoman. In the capital, she only cares about money and not about relationships." He said, "You are so insincere to praise her like this without mentioning the money."

"Let go..." Mrs. Yu said.

Before he could finish his words, Duke Chengguo at the side coughed lightly and extended his hand in invitation.

"Miss Jun, please sit down and talk," he said, interrupting Mrs. Yu.

Madam Yu also accepted the words, smiled and pulled her to sit down.

Miss Jun did as she was told.

"What Miss Jun did was of great importance." Madam Yu continued, "Human relations are human relations, and business is business. We should thank those who deserve thanks, and pay those who deserve money."

She looked at Duke Cheng.

"Yulang, pay the hundred thousand taels of silver first."

Duke Cheng nodded with a smile.

"It's ready." He looked at Miss Jun, "Miss Jun can get it today."

Miss Jun smiled and nodded, neither refusing nor saying anything.

Zhu Zan breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little impatient.

"Mom, mom, it's time to talk about the money to save Dad." He urged.

Madam Yu glared at him.

"Why are you talking so much?" She scolded in a low voice, "Go away."

Zhu Zan blushed and glanced at Miss Jun, and sure enough, he saw Miss Jun smiling at him.

"Mother." He shouted with some dissatisfaction, but still moved to the side of Duke Cheng.

Mrs. Yu smiled at Miss Jun.

"Two..." she said.

Zhu Zan coughed heavily at the side.

"What are you coughing about?" Madam Yu said immediately, "Miss Jun already knew that you were called Erxiao. What's wrong with this name? What's embarrassing about it? It's enough as long as you are not embarrassed. Why bother about the name? The older you get, the more fussy you become."

Zhu Zan raised his hand to his forehead and hid his face.

Duke Cheng also smiled and nodded to Miss Jun. He did not look helpless or uneasy at all, but calm and gentle.

He looks so much like my father. No wonder my father gets along so well with him.

Miss Jun also nodded to Duke Cheng with a smile.

"Miss Jun, you are embarrassed." Madam Yu turned around and said to Miss Jun, "You also know Zan'er. I'm sure you know what kind of person he is. He is good in every way, but he talks too much. I don't know who learned this from."

It shouldn’t be from Chengguo Public School, Miss Jun smiled again.

"It's all right," she said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Zan glared at her.

What do you mean "alright"? Who is she? Is she familiar with him? What is she trying to do by pretending to be so familiar with him?

Miss Jun smiled and ignored him.

"Let's not talk about these little things. We are all so familiar with each other, so let's just do it." Madam Yu said, "I know Miss Jun spent a huge amount of money to go to Yizhou, and the lives she saved are countless even if they are worth mountains of gold and silver, but since there is a price to pay, there must be a price. Please name your price, Miss Jun."

Miss Jun smiled and nodded, thinking about it seriously.

"Then let's give 300,000 taels," she said. "It's mainly because there are casualties among my people, and I need to ensure that their relatives are provided for. Although I can provide for them, this is what they deserve."

Mrs. Yu agreed without hesitation. As she said, at this point money is just a number and she certainly would not settle it with just money.

"I will try my best to raise this money for Miss Jun." said Duke Cheng.

Zhu Zan couldn't help but speak again.

"Now that we have finished talking about this matter, mother, let's discuss our family's move to Beijing," he said.

He emphasized the word "a family" and glanced at Miss Jun.

As an outsider, she should understand that she should stay away, right?

Mrs. Yu looked solemn.

"I don't agree with going to the capital now," she said. "It's the height of the storm, so it's better to stay away from it under the pretext of recuperating."

Zhu Zan glanced at Miss Jun.

She seemed not to hear what they said and picked up the cup to drink tea.

"Mom, I think it's because we are in the limelight that we have to go back." He said sternly, "Good fortune and misfortune come hand in hand. Dad can also rise to higher positions while we are in the limelight. If there are problems that are not solved, they will always exist. There is no point in hiding or avoiding them."

Didn't he think so yesterday? How could he change his mind overnight? Miss Jun looked at him while holding her teacup. Men are so fickle.

Madam Yu pondered for a moment.

"So you and your son have decided to go to the capital?" she asked.

Zhu Zan nodded respectfully, and Duke Cheng nodded with a smile.

"I want to go and see it," he said.

Mrs. Yu smiled.

"Then of course all three of us will go," she said. "There's nothing to discuss."

Zhu Zan smiled.

A female voice coughed softly.

"Madam is wrong."

Wrong?

The three of them looked at Miss Jun.

Miss Jun was holding a teacup.

"It's not a family of three," she said, smiling slightly, "it's a family of four."

A family of four?

Madam Yu and Duke Cheng were stunned for a moment, then they understood, and Zhu Zan became furious.

I knew this woman wouldn't be easily persuaded. Three hundred thousand taels would never satisfy her. It turns out she's still coveting him!

"You..." He glared and was about to shout.

"Shut up."

One female voice, the other male, one deep and one gentle, both saying the same thing.

Zhu Zan's voice stopped abruptly, his face flushed as he looked at Madam Yu and then at Duke Cheng.

"Dad, Mom..." he cried aggrievedly.

"Listen to what Miss Jun has to say." Duke Cheng nodded gently to him and said.

"Don't interrupt." Madam Yu frowned and glared at him, then smiled at Miss Jun, "Miss Jun, go ahead."

Hearing her say that this woman could even turn bandits into good citizens and strong soldiers, Zhu Zan glared. After hearing what she said, that was the end.
