The laughter of girls could be heard in the Jiuling Hall.
Chen Qi also laughed dryly twice.
"Don't joke around." Fang Jinxiu said with a frown.
"I'm not kidding." Miss Jun said with a smile, looking at Zhu Zan, "If Mr. Ning had spoken a step later, wouldn't you have been the same?"
Zhu Zan sneered.
"You are so self-indulgent," he said.
Chen Qi felt that his mind was a little confused. In fact, he started to feel confused when he learned that Zhu Zan had delayed the delivery of the betrothal gifts and went to smash the door of the Beizhen Fusi.
He thought the questioning and answering between the two people was strange, but not strange, because it seemed that both of them knew what the other was talking about.
What are they talking about?
Fang Jinxiu was also stunned, but after thinking about it, she finally understood.
What Miss Jun said sounded like a single answer, but it was actually two answers.
"How come a rich kid and a talented top scholar both became your husbands? How many husbands do you have?"
Zhu Zan just asked this question, which contains two questions. One is why a talented top scholar became your husband, and the other is how many husbands you have had.
Miss Jun answered three, saying that Zhu Zan was one of them because he was going to say the same thing as Ning Yunzhao at that time.
Zhu Zan is naturally not her husband, so why would he say such a thing? And so is Ning Yunzhao.
But why Ning Yunzhao?
Fang Jinxiu frowned again.
Could it be because they knew each other?
She thought of what Miss Jun had once said about why she should care about Ning Yunzhao's ranking in the exam.
Miss Jun had already stood up and saluted Zhu Zan.
"Thank you very much," she said.
No matter how absurd or unexpected it is, no matter whether it helps this matter or not, the fact that Zhu Zan and Ning Yunzhao stepped forward in front of everyone without hesitation today is enough to be thanked.
Fang Jinxiu and Chen Qi also bowed in greeting.
Zhu Zan accepted their gifts without hesitation.
Although Fang Jinxiu felt that it was inappropriate, she also knew that Miss Jun had many secrets, such as her relationship with the Prince of Chengguo. She left on the pretext of going to make tea, and took Chen Qi, who was reluctant to leave, with her.
Miss Jun and Zhu Zan were the only ones left in the hall, standing opposite each other.
"What's going on?" Zhu Zan asked, "How did you make him crazy?"
As he spoke, he looked at Miss Jun.
"It's just a name, that's not it."
Lu Yunqi was a madman to begin with. Why did he question her? Was he so sure that if she hadn't done it on purpose, Lu Yunqi wouldn't have been provoked and entangled with her?
A smile appeared on Miss Jun's face again.
What a smart man he is. He is right. It was indeed her fault that Lu Yunqi was driven so crazy.
"I had to do something to avoid being discovered by him." Miss Jun said, looking at Zhu Zan, "I deliberately seduced him."
Zhu Zan made a "Pooh" sound.
"Is Prince Huai okay?" he suddenly asked.
Miss Jun was slightly stunned. He did not ask her what she was going to do, nor did he ask her what she had done to seduce Lu Yunqi. He did not even show any contempt or surprise at the word "seduce".
He only asked King Huai.
Miss Jun smiled again.
He only cared about what he cared about, such as whether Prince Huai was safe, and whether she would threaten Prince Huai's safety.
"Prince Huai is doing well. He was vaccinated yesterday." Miss Jun said.
Zhu Zan waved his hands, turned around and left.
Are you leaving now? Miss Jun couldn't help but call him.
"What?" Zhu Zan turned back impatiently.
Miss Jun looked at him with a smile.
"No, of course." She said, "When did you come back? You couldn't have reached Zhending in such a short time, right? Weren't the Zhou family's children sent to Zhending? Or did you ask someone to send them there?"
Zhu Zan turned around and waved his finger at her.
"Here we go again." He said, "Don't get involved in my business, and I don't get involved in yours. We are just a deal."
The deal is that if you cure King Huai and don't harm him, I will save your life, no matter why you come or what you want to do, as long as you don't threaten King Huai.
Why? Why is he so concerned about Prince Huai? Did Duke Cheng ask him to do so?
There are many people in the capital who want to have good relations with Cheng Guogong, and there are many people who are worthy of Cheng Guogong's attention, but Prince Huai should not be counted among them. Not only is he not worthy, but he is a trouble and a taboo.
Duke Cheng.
Miss Jun looked at Zhu Zan and vaguely recognized the man's description from his handsome face.
Zhu Zan probably looked a lot like his mother, or maybe she could no longer remember what Duke Cheng looked like since she had only met him a few times.
"Why are you so nice to Prince Huai?" she couldn't help but ask.
"None of your business." Zhu Zan said, without warning or being on guard, still with an arrogant look of nonchalance, and then he walked out again.
"Hey, you're leaving just like that? What about my problem?" Miss Jun asked.
Zhu Zan didn't even turn his head.
"Go find your husband who is the number one scholar." He shouted.
Miss Jun laughed and watched him walk out of the Jiuling Hall and disappear from her sight.
The dusk was dispersing in the street.
Miss Jun was looking at the street in a daze when Fang Jinxiu walked in from behind.
"What should we do next?" she asked, "Should Chen Qi and I go see Master Ning?"
Miss Jun came to her senses and shook her head.
"No, let's wait for him to come find us." She said, "He should be here soon."
What is going on? Fang Jinxiu followed her and looked outside the door. She felt a little confused. Suddenly, Miss Jun next to her burst out laughing.
"What?" she asked hurriedly, "What did you think of?"
Miss Jun looked at her and smiled.
"To think he asked me how many husbands I had had," she said.
What a mess! Fang Jinxiu rolled her eyes. What time is it? What the hell are you thinking about?
"Chen Qi, go and invite Manager Liu." She was too lazy to pay attention to Miss Jun anymore, so she turned around and shouted while walking inside.
Miss Jun smiled and watched her walk away.
In fact, it was not three, but four husbands. She lowered her head, spread out her palms, and bent her thumbs.
…
The night enveloped Jiuling Hall. Liu'er and the cook turned on the lights in the house and put food on the table, but no one was in the mood to eat.
Fang Jinxiu stood in the hall and looked outside the door.
"Shopkeeper Liu shouldn't be going far. He hasn't been out these days because of Lu Qianhu's matter." She turned around and said.
Miss Jun sat at the dining table.
"Just tell him not to worry," she said.
Fang Jinxiu was about to speak when she heard footsteps outside the door.
"I'm back." She looked over happily, but saw only one person coming in.
Fang Jinxiu stopped on her way to meet him and looked at the young man who had walked from the darkness to the light.
"Master Ning." Fang Jinxiu said, hesitated, lowered her head and knelt down.
This was the first time Fang Jinxiu saw him take the initiative to greet someone.
Ning Yunzhao smiled and returned the greeting.
"I'm not too late," he said, looking into the room.
Fang Jinxiu also understood the meaning of this statement.
They must have known what happened in Beizhen Fusi, and they must be very surprised and puzzled, but he, the person involved, has only arrived now.
Miss Jun, who was sitting at the dining table, has stood up.
"It's not too late." She said, looking at the food on the table, "You haven't eaten yet?"
She smiled at him and held out her hand.
"Why not talk while we eat?"
No matter which time, Ning Yunzhao always felt that the girl's opening remarks were so appropriate and comfortable.
He also smiled.
"Okay," he said, and walked over.
Why did you start eating?
I am really impressed by them.
These "they" not only refer to Miss Jun and Ning Yunzhao, but also Zhu Zan. In short, the men who deal with Miss Jun always speak and act in a weird and inexplicable way that makes people speechless, including that Lu Yunqi.
Fang Jinxiu rolled her eyes.
