The cook of Jiulingtang was carefully selected by the shopkeeper Liu, and she cooks dishes from Yangcheng and Beijing.

"Is it suitable?" Miss Jun asked.

Ning Yunzhao took a bite of the dish and nodded with a smile.

"My uncle's family also has a cook from Yangcheng." He said, "My uncle has traveled to many places and has been away from home for a long time, but his taste has not changed. My sisters and brothers are more accustomed to the taste of Beijing."

"After all, Lord Biting grew up at home, so his tastes can't change." Miss Jun said with a smile.

Fang Jinxiu, who was sitting on the other side, picked up the bowl and looked at the two of them.

It's true...

Let's not talk about your relationship in the past. Just talk about it now. Why can you still calmly discuss the taste of the food?

Can we talk about something serious?

"Originally, it's time for dinner at home." Ning Yunzhao said, smiling at Miss Jun, "But we haven't been there yet today."

Fang Jinxiu sat up straight.

No one knows the details of this marriage contract better than the two families in Ningfang.

The Fang family was troubled by this marriage, and the Ning family was also angry about it. They had several fights and almost lost their lives. After the marriage was cancelled, it could be said that they would never have any contact with each other again.

Now Ning Yunzhao suddenly announced in public that he was engaged and Miss Jun was his fiancée. The people in the Ning family must be more shocked than them.

The Ning family must have been in chaos.

I definitely won’t be able to take care of meals.

Thinking of that scene, Fang Jinxiu suddenly felt a little saccharine.

The Ning family also had such a day.

She stretched out her chopsticks, picked up more food and took a big bite.

Miss Jun put down her chopsticks and looked at Ning Yunzhao.

"How can it be such a coincidence?" she asked after thinking for a while.

Ning Yunzhao looked at her and smiled.

She did not question herself why she did this. She knew that she did not do this because she could not help herself and took advantage of the opportunity.

He had expressed his feelings to her, and he had accepted her rejection.

In her eyes, he is an upright gentleman.

He must have had a need to do this and he did it with good intentions.

"It was already late when the palace examination ended yesterday. I did not go home, but went to my uncle's office to consider the essays for the palace examination," he said.

Miss Jun smiled.

"It turns out that Master Ning can also be Xie An." She said with a smile.

"Not really." Ning Yunzhao smiled, "It's because I was too excited. I didn't dare and didn't want to face everyone. I just hid away and calmed down for a while, so as not to lose my composure in front of others, and it would also appear that I, the top scholar, was calm and composed."

Miss Jun laughed out loud.

Fang Jinxiu also smiled, but then her expression turned serious again.

We're getting off topic again. Who wants to know how you feel after becoming the top scorer in the imperial examination? Let's get down to business, okay?

"Later, when it was almost dawn, I went to sleep with my uncle in the government office." Ning Yunzhao continued, "When I woke up, it was already afternoon. When I went out, I saw the hustle and bustle in front of the Beizhen Fusi."

He stroked the chopsticks in his hand.

"At that time, Lu Qianhu wanted to express his true feelings in front of everyone."

When he mentioned the word "loyalty", he glanced at Miss Jun, and Miss Jun smiled.

"I was studying behind closed doors during the previous Ministry of Rites palace examinations, oblivious to what was happening outside the window. I had no idea that Captain Lu would behave like this," said Ning Yunzhao.

What if I had known earlier? Would I have come out and said that we were already engaged? Fang Jinxiu bit her chopsticks.

Miss Jun nodded.

“That just happened,” she said.

"People like Lu Qianhu naturally don't care about anything." Ning Yunzhao continued.

Not caring about anything means you have no shame?

Fang Jinxiu burst out laughing and quickly restrained herself.

"Because the Prince of Chengguo was already under suspicion of crime and had done such an absurd thing, His Majesty is determined to have them punished in public." Ning Yunzhao continued, looking at Miss Jun.

The Prince of Chengguo was already under suspicion of crime, which meant that the emperor would not favor him. Instead, this was an opportunity for the emperor to suppress and teach him a lesson.

Miss Jun was silent.

"Actually, he doesn't care about anything." She said with a smile.

Zhu Zan certainly knew what the emperor was thinking, but he just agreed and didn't care about anything else.

"They all don't care about anything, but Miss Jun, you can't be like this." Ning Yunzhao said, "Or you can't be treated like this, so it's a coincidence that we have an old story, and this old story happened to be joked about in the Fang family's story a while ago."

Both families knew what was going on with the marriage between the Ning family and Miss Jun, but when Fang Chengyu promoted Miss Jun, he put a different spin on the old story. He did not say that the Ning family broke the contract, but that Miss Jun took the initiative to humiliate herself and break off the engagement in order to help the Fang family get revenge.

"You can give up the engagement for your maternal family, so we can naturally stick to it for the sake of loyalty." Ning Yunzhao said, "This is reasonable and noble, so I only had time to think about this at the time, and then I did it. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me, Miss Jun."

Miss Jun smiled and shook her head at him, then nodded in greeting.

"That's fake." Fang Jinxiu blurted out.

"Of course it's fake." Ning Yunzhao said with a smile.

"Are you the only one who knows it's fake?" Fang Jinxiu looked at him and asked.

"Of course, until there is no need to lie." Ning Yunzhao said, and then looked at Miss Jun, "If you have any inconvenience, you can always stop lying."

Until there is no need to lie, everything will be based on Miss Jun's wishes and whether it is convenient for her.

Fang Jinxiu looked at him and bit her lower lip.

"Mr. Ning, are you having any inconvenience?" she said.

Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"I'm not inconvenienced." He smiled.

He is the new top scholar, the results have just been posted, and people are waiting to watch with envy.

He was the most outstanding son of the Beiliuning clan, and his parents and family were very proud of him.

He studied hard and pursued the truth, not caring about anything else. Now, he has finally achieved his wish and entered the official career.

The people are waiting to see the demeanor of the number one scholar, his parents and families are waiting to find a wife for him, he is now established and can start a family, the Beiliuning family is glorious, and the new number one scholar has a bright future. There are many daughters for him to choose from, and many wealthy and powerful people to marry him.

But now, because of that chance encounter at Beizhen Fusi, everything has changed.

What the people were waiting to see was no longer the elegance of the top scholar with outstanding academic achievements, but the top scholar whose fiancée was snatched away by Lu Qianhu.

The Ning family will also fall into chaos. All the arrangements that had been made long ago and the concerns of relatives and friends will be disrupted unexpectedly.

Moreover, the engagement that caused all this chaos was also fake, and when it is announced in the future, there will still be chaos.

Inconvenience, do you mean no inconvenience?

Fang Jinxiu looked at the young man in front of her who was smiling calmly, and she felt a bit confused.

"Master Ning, why do you do this?" she asked.

Ning Yunzhao looked at her.

"Because," he said with a smile, "I know Miss Jun."

really.

Fang Jinxiu curled the corner of her mouth and looked at Ning Yunzhao without saying a word.

Miss Jun knows many people in Beijing.

"Ms. Jun shouldn't be treated like this." Ning Yunzhao said again, looking serious.

There are so many things in the world that shouldn't happen, so many things that are unfair. There is no such thing as something that shouldn't happen.

Fang Jinxiu looked at him and still said nothing.

Ning Yunzhao put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Miss Jun.

"This is what I deserve," he said. "This is what I owed you, and I should pay it back."

Fang Jinxiu clenched and unclenched her hands on the table, looking a little disappointed.

Miss Jun let out a long breath and felt as if some of the depression in her heart had dissipated.

This frustration is not hers, it's probably Jun Zhenzhen's.

After all, it's a human life.

I've waited for this voice to come true.

"Mr. Ning." She looked at Ning Yunzhao and nodded seriously, "Now, you don't owe it anymore."
