When Miss Jun entered the courtyard, Liu'er had already flown in like a butterfly.

The yard was the same as before, with no maids or servants crowded around. Only two maids, Maidong and Baishao, were standing there.

When they saw Miss Jun at this time, they still looked terrified.

In the past, I was terrified because of fear, helplessness and injustice. Now, I am terrified because of my previous fear, helplessness and injustice, and I feel uneasy and ashamed.

Miss Jun's expression remained the same.

I didn't take them seriously before, and I still don't take them seriously now.

"Why don't you draw the curtains?" Liu'er shouted from inside. "What are you standing there for?"

Liu'er is as fierce as before.

Ophiopogon japonicus and White Peony stalks hurriedly drew the curtains.

Fang Chengyu and Miss Jun went in one after another.

"Miss, Miss, please sit down quickly." Liu Er had already brought over a cup of tea. "Are you tired? Are you hungry?"

Miss Jun sat down, took the tea with a smile and answered the questions one by one.

"Not tired. Not hungry."

After hearing her say that she was not tired or hungry, Liu'er immediately started talking.

"Miss, you don't know, a lot of things happened after you left." She said excitedly, "On the night you and the young master left, you didn't know, I was scared to death..."

If we start talking from that time, we probably won't be able to finish before dark.

Fang Chengyu looked at Liu'er who was dancing and jumping around Miss Jun with joy, smiled, and turned around and walked out.

"What's the dinner plan?" he asked, standing on the porch.

Mai Dong hurriedly and carefully handed over a list.

"This was arranged by Sister Liu'er," she said.

Fang Chengyu looked at it carefully. He didn't know what kind of food was delicious. His diet had been monotonous and bland for nearly ten years.

"I'll go to the kitchen and take a look," he said.

Go to the kitchen and ask carefully, taste and look. Isn't it said that delicious food should be delicious?

Mai Dong responded with a yes and watched Fang Chengyu walk out.

"Why did you let the young master go by himself? Why didn't you go with him?" Bai Shao walked over and whispered.

Mai Dong looked at her.

"Why don't you go with me?" she snorted.

It’s because of the precedent of Ganoderma lucidum.

The two girls stared at each other for a moment.

"However, the young master has recovered from his illness now..." Mai Dong said in a low voice after a moment of hesitation.

In the past, I begged her to treat me when I was sick. Now that I’m well, there’s no need to be so extreme about some things, right?

Bai Shao snorted.

"Young Master has recovered from his illness, and Young Madam is even more important." She said. "Besides, if Young Madam is really upset, she can cure Young Master, but do you think she can make Young Master sick again?"

Mai Dong subconsciously looked inside the house and shrank his head.

"I'm not sure if the young madam can do it, but Liu'er can definitely do it," she said in a low voice.

Bai Shao pouted, then laughed and shook her head. The two stopped joking and stood solemnly again.

…

When Miss Jun woke up from her nap, it was already evening. She smelled the fresh cool air. It turned out to be the summer rain outside the window. She didn't know how long it had been raining.

She sat up and saw Fang Chengyu sitting on the other side of the kang table reading a book.

"You're awake." He noticed it immediately and looked over and said with a smile, leaning over to pour some tea.

"It's more comfortable to sleep at home." Miss Jun said, and stood up to take the tea. "Didn't you sleep for a while?"

"She dozed off for a while." Fang Chengyu said. "Liu'er is still sleeping."

Miss Jun took a few sips of tea.

"She is exhausted, let her have a good sleep," she said.

So many things happened. Sometimes the most tired people are not the people involved, but the bystanders, the people who don't know the details and are worried.

Fang Chengyu nodded.

"Do you want to eat? The food in the kitchen is ready." He said, "I have also told my grandmother and mother that we will not eat together tonight. Let's have a good rest."

Miss Jun nodded.

"I'll go wash up and come back for dinner," she said.

Fang Chengyu called out to Mai Dong, who hurried in and accompanied Miss Jun into the bathroom. When Miss Jun came out after washing and changing her clothes, the lights in the room were already on and the dining table was set.

"It's hot, and you've been traveling for many days, so I prepared something light. I don't know if it suits your taste." Fang Chengyu said, handing over the chopsticks.

During the days they were together, because I had to take care of Fang Chengyu's medicine, I was cautious about the food he ate, and I couldn't tell what Miss Jun liked.

Miss Jun took it and sat down.

"I'm not picky about food." She smiled and said, "I can eat everything and want to eat everything. It's fun to taste all kinds of flavors in life."

Fang Chengyu smiled and nodded. Mai Dong and Bai Shao served them some rice respectively, then lowered their heads and left.

The two of them met and had dinner quietly in the house. After dinner, because it was raining, they walked slowly in the house, listening to the sound of rain outside.

"We have a training ground at home. You should do the same as your grandmother and keep exercising every day." Miss Jun said, "Although you have recovered from the illness, your body is badly injured and your foundation is not good."

"I know." Fang Chengyu said, stretching out his hand and making a fist. "I walked around a few times this morning and even hit your and your grandmother's wood stakes."

Then he stretched out his fist in front of her.

"Look, is it still red?"

Miss Jun laughed.

"Sister, look, I wrote three big characters today and my hands are all red."

She seemed to see Jiu Rong standing in front of her with his hands outstretched and acting coquettishly again.

There was a hint of bitterness in her smile, but then she became happy again.

No matter what, she will still have the chance to see Jiu Rong again.

Bai Shao and Mai Dong came out of the house.

"Master and Madam, the hot water is ready and the bed is made," they said, bowing.

Before I knew it, it was time to go to bed, but how could I sleep now?

In the past, we had to treat illnesses, and in Runan, we had to take precautions. But now we don’t have to treat illnesses or take precautions, so are we still going to sleep together?

After all, they are not really a couple.

Fang Chengyu lowered his head and counted on his fingers.

"There's one more thing I haven't told you yet," he said.

"Let's talk about it on the bed." Miss Jun said.

Maidong and Baishao heard it and closed the door as usual and walked out.

Miss Jun never asks anyone to keep watch here at night.

"I tell you, I killed County Magistrate Li with my own hands." Fang Chengyu said in a low voice as soon as he entered the inner room.

Miss Jun looked at him.

"Of course it's not because I hate him so much that he can't control his emotions." Fang Chengyu said calmly, "but because he wants to tell a secret about our Fang family, and this secret seems to be unknown to others."

That secret.

It turns out that County Magistrate Li was doing this because of this. Now everything makes sense.

Miss Jun nodded.

"Let's sit down and talk," she said, walking towards the kang first.

The kang has been laid out, with pillows lined up side by side and a clean bamboo mat.

Miss Jun sat on it directly, moved inward, and motioned Fang Chengyu to sit on it as well.

Fang Chengyu did not hesitate.

"This is what happened," he said, sitting cross-legged on the bed and beginning to tell the story.

After listening to Fang Chengyu's story, Miss Jun nodded.

"You are right. There must be a secret in your family." She said, "and this secret can mobilize the troops and officials of Shanxi and Henan. Moreover, this secret cannot be made public. Even you don't know it, and I think your mother doesn't know it either."

Fang Chengyu nodded.

"This is probably why my grandmother said with certainty that it was impossible when Uncle Lei said that my father's death was caused by soldiers," he said thoughtfully.

Miss Jun nodded without saying anything.

The two were silent for a moment.

"No matter what it is, since grandma can't say it, there must be a reason why she can't say it. We have to believe her." Miss Jun said.

Fang Chengyu nodded.

"Yes, so I didn't ask a single question." He said with a smile, and changed his position by resting his chin on his hand. "Come to think of it, many things that I found strange and incomprehensible when I was a child are now explained in this way."

"What's the matter?" Miss Jun asked casually.

Fang Chengyu talked about some things from his childhood with great interest. There were many things he couldn't remember clearly. He thought as he talked. When he finished and asked Miss Jun for confirmation, he saw that Miss Jun had fallen asleep on the pillow without knowing when.

Even though I slept the whole afternoon, I must be really tired.

She had been away from home for more than two months, and had been working hard to rebuild Jiulingtang in Runan, having experienced many life-threatening situations on the road. These months had been difficult for no one, especially her.

Fang Chengyu gently placed the thin quilt around her waist, looked at the kang in the other room, and hesitated for a long time.

She just said that her body was badly damaged and her foundation was not good. Although she was allowed to go alone after Bai He was robbed in Liangshan, she had no choice but to do so in order not to delay things in Yangcheng.

Now that he's home, he might as well sleep with her so that she won't wake up in the middle of the night and worry.

When she says that you don't want to sleep together anymore, then separate.

Fang Chengyu blew out the lamp beside the bed, lowered the curtains, lay down carefully, closed his eyes and hid the joy in them.

Outside the window, the drizzle of rain hit the banana leaves, making the night quiet and the Fang family's house fall into a deep sleep.

Fang Jinxiu was lying in the darkness with her eyes closed as usual, when suddenly there were footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open.

who?

She asked this question subconsciously, but she was too lazy to move.

"Miss Third." Yuan's voice rang out in the darkness.
