Miss Jun walked out of the side door of the Ning family's house.

The Ning family's front door was naturally not always open; only the side door was open for people to enter and exit.

But when Miss Jun walked out, the side door was closed. Although it did not make a loud noise, the gentle closing also expressed disgust for the person who just walked out.

Miss Jun didn't look back.

"Ning Yan's people are no more than that," she said to herself.

Ning Yan, the second son of Old Master Ning and the brother-in-law of Madam Ning, is now the highest-ranking official in the Ning family. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 23 and has been an official for 20 years. He is now the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works. In another two or three years, he will be promoted to the rank of Shangshu, and it is very likely that he will become a prime minister in the future.

Miss Jun called such a person by his name, and Madam Ning would feel doubly humiliated if she heard it.

There were no idle people in front of the Ning family's door. Miss Jun's little maid had a dazed look on her face, with her hands tightly holding the banknotes in her sleeves, and she didn't hear what Miss Jun said.

The little girl walked out with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and only came to her senses when she was almost out of Beiliu Town.

"Miss." She called out hurriedly, stretched out her hand to grab Miss Jun's sleeve, and looked back, "The people from the Ning family didn't chase us."

Miss Jun nodded.

"Don't worry, they won't come after us," she said. "At least the Ning family still has some dignity."

The little girl said "oh" and pulled her sleeve.

"Then where can we wait?" she asked. "That inn won't let us stay there. There's no inn closer to Ning's house."

That day, the young lady pretended to hang herself to scare the Ning family, but she almost got hanged. Her screaming scared the inn's innkeepers, who rescued her.

"The people in that inn are such cowards. The young lady is obviously fine, but they are still afraid of everything and won't let us stay." The little girl said, but she completely forgot that she was paralyzed by fear at the time.

She kept giggling while the young lady kept walking quietly.

"When will they come to invite the ladies again?" she asked again.

Miss Jun stopped and looked at the little girl.

"It's all over now. There's no need to wait. They won't come to me anymore," she said.

The little girl stared at her with wide eyes.

"What do you mean it's over?" she stammered.

When the young lady was rescued, she looked like dead. The two women pinched and beat her for a while before she came to life again. Even so, she lay in bed for half a day without moving. It was really scary.

She really had no choice but to go back to Yangcheng to find Old Madam Fang, but the young lady suddenly reached out and held her, saying that all this was because of the marriage with the Ning family, and there was no need to look for anyone else, as she could handle the matter herself.

She was a little bit skeptical at the time, as the problem had not been solved after being in Yangcheng for so long. But the lady said that it would definitely be solved this time, and asked her to take out the hidden marriage certificate.

Yes, they have always had a marriage certificate. The reason why they didn't take it out at first was that they thought the Ning family also had it, so it was a matter of course. And after arriving in Yangcheng, when they said they had an engagement with the Ning family and asked Old Madam Fang to go and talk to them, the aunt's wife showed a sarcastic look and asked if there was a marriage certificate, which made the young lady very angry. The young lady said straightforwardly that there was no one and asked the aunt's wife to go and talk to them.

The young lady meant that once her aunt went to the Ning family, she would definitely be treated as a guest of honor, and at the same time, she could suppress her aunt's mean face.

Unexpectedly, when the aunt arrived at the Ning family, she was denied the engagement. Naturally, the aunt came back furious and ridiculed the young lady. The young lady was so angry that she went to the Ning family herself.

As a result, he couldn't get into the Ning family, and couldn't contact anyone from the Ning family, except for the fact that on the Lantern Festival on August 15th, he mixed in the crowd and glanced from afar at the Tenth Young Master Ning who had just returned from the capital.

The lady was even more attracted to the graceful demeanor of Mr. Ning Shi, but she also knew that the Ning family wanted to break off the engagement. They must know about the marriage, and since they were determined to break off the engagement, it would be useless whether the marriage certificate was produced or not.

At this time, Miss Lin, who was good friends with the young lady, came in a panic and brought the news that the Tenth Master Ning was going to get engaged. The young lady could no longer sit still and decided to do something to let the Ning family know how powerful she was.

The act of hanging was indeed terrible. The young lady almost died. After lying down for half a day, she got up and said that she wanted to resolve the matter.

So many people saw the young lady hanging herself, the Ning family must be scared.

She happily followed the young lady to the Ning family. Although she was puzzled by what the young lady said and did during the process, she was able to enter the Ning family and meet Mrs. Ning, which showed that the young lady's method was still very effective.

Although it seemed strange that she accepted the money and returned the marriage certificate, she still believed that the lady had her own reasons for doing so.

Either the Ning family would chase him out, or they would come and invite the young lady the next day.

But now what does the lady mean when she says it’s over?

"It means that I no longer have an engagement with the Ning family." Miss Jun glanced at the little girl and said, "This matter is resolved."

The little girl opened her eyes and mouth wide, and started crying, attracting the attention of people on the street.

"Why are you crying? This is so good." Miss Jun said, "A forced melon is not sweet. This way everyone gets what they need and everyone is happy."

The little girl was sobbing.

She naturally knew that the Ning family did not want this marriage, and now that the marriage was off, the Ning family was naturally happy.

"But what is there for Miss to be happy about? Everything is gone," she cried.

"Don't you have money now?" Miss Jun said.

money?

Although the little girl had never been rich, whether in the old house of the Jun family or following Jun Yingwen in office, the father and son of the Jun family were kind and generous, contented with food and clothing, and could spend money like water when they had it, and could live in poverty when they had no money. Therefore, the little girl never cared about money because of what she saw and heard.

What’s the use of money? It comes and goes. A woman still needs to find a good husband to ensure a smooth life.

No matter how much money you have, you can't buy a husband family like the Ning family. Did the young lady become stupid after hanging herself? The solution she said was to break off the engagement with the Ning family.

"What's the use of that little money?" said the little girl with tears in her eyes.

"That little bit of money." Miss Jun said.

She spoke slowly to begin with, and now she spoke even slower. The four words she spoke were stretched out a lot, and seemed to sound a little more desolate.

The little girl couldn't help but sniff and looked up at her young lady.

"That should be enough for me to go to the capital." Miss Jun continued.

Going to Beijing?

The little girl was stunned. Their hometown was in Runan, their grandfather worked in Funing, their maternal grandparents' home was in Yangcheng, and they had all lived in the north since they were young. They had only heard of the capital city in the south but had never been there. They had no relatives or friends there, so they would never think of going there.

Why do you suddenly want to go to the capital? Her eyes suddenly lit up again.

"Oh!" she said excitedly, "Miss, are you going to file a complaint?"

A smile appeared on Miss Jun's calm face, and she was obviously amused by the little girl's words.

The little girl didn't notice it, but became even more excited.

"Yes, Miss, your idea is really good. First, cancel the engagement, stabilize the Ning family, and then get the money and the entanglement, then you can start your journey easily." She said, and seemed to be afraid of being discovered, so she lowered her voice, "Ning Shi Gongzi's uncle is a high official in the capital. Let him take care of this matter. If he doesn't care, we will sue him and see if he is afraid. Miss, I heard that the emperor of the capital is wise and powerful and will definitely be able to..."

When she said this, the lady who was originally looking forward suddenly turned her head. Her calm and clear eyes suddenly became deep, and her eyes made people shudder.

The little girl stopped talking abruptly and took a step back.

Although she was sold at a young age, the owner was kind and amiable, and although the young lady was arrogant, she never did anything bad. The little girl had a smooth life and had never seen such a look in her eyes.

She couldn't even recognize the emotion contained in those eyes. It seemed to be despair, cruelty, and pain. In short, it made people so scared that they wanted to run away.
