Is it because of the sadness of a hopeless marriage?

But when the madam passed away, the young lady never had such a look in her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Miss Jun's gaze disappeared and everything became quiet again.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense," she said softly, "I said this matter is over. The Ning family doesn't want to get married, and I don't want to get married either. A sum of money, to settle the past, they didn't make any money, and we didn't lose any money either."

The little girl was trembling with fear, and looked carefully at Miss Jun's expression, certain that she was seeing things just now. Then she thought that Miss Jun would definitely be sad without a marriage, and as a good girl, she could not complain or rub salt into Miss Jun's wounds, so she nodded quickly and did not say another word about marriage.

"Let's go." Miss Jun smiled at her and turned and walked away.

The little girl hurriedly followed, and after walking a few steps she couldn't help but speak.

"Miss, should we go to the capital now, or go back to the Fang family first?" she asked cautiously.

Miss Jun stopped.

"Fang family." She repeated these two words, as if she was recalling and familiarizing herself with them.

"I originally thought that I would be able to get married soon, and I wouldn't have to deal with them for the rest of my life. I wouldn't care whether they like it or not." The little girl said carefully and with a worried look on her face, "Now if they knew that you and the Ning family had no marriage, I don't know how they would treat you, young lady."

"You'll know soon." Miss Jun said.

Immediately? The little girl was stunned for a moment. When she saw Miss Jun looking forward, she couldn't help but look in the direction she was looking. She saw two carriages coming quickly under the escort of several people. The escort said something to the carriages. The curtains were opened and an old woman looked at them.

"Old lady!" the little girl blurted out.

The carriage stopped in front of them. The old woman got out of the carriage without waiting for the servant to help her and walked straight towards Miss Jun.

Miss Jun looked at the old woman in front of her.

The old woman was about sixty years old, with a square face and a short, plump body. She wore a light brown jacket with gold embroidery and a lapis lazuli skirt. Her gray and white hair was adorned with a gold chrysanthemum and kingfisher feather hairpin. She looked energetic and exuded an air of wealth.

This is Old Mrs. Fang, Miss Jun’s grandmother.

Old Mrs. Fang had only one son and one daughter, and now both of them were dead. At this moment, her face was grim and her eyes were sharp, with an immense fear in them. She had neither the sorrow of having lost two sons in succession, nor the pity and kindness of seeing her deceased daughter and her orphans.

"I heard you hanged yourself?" the old woman looked at her and said slowly.

Beiliu Town is half a day's drive from Yangcheng. Originally, Miss Jun and the little girl had agreed that after the girl was rescued from hanging, the little girl would immediately ask someone to go to Yangcheng to inform the Fang family. However, Miss Jun's hanging was so realistic that the little girl was so scared that she naturally didn't bother to report the news and scare others. When Miss Jun recovered, she said that she could handle the problem herself, so the little girl naturally stopped notifying the Fang family.

From the time she was hanged yesterday evening, the Fang family got the news and rushed over before noon today. This shows that it is not like what they said before that Miss Ren Pingjun can go wherever she wants and they will not care.

Miss Jun is ready to salute.

"Why aren't you dead yet?" Old Mrs. Fang added, not disguising the sarcasm in her voice.

Miss Jun sighed and stood up straight.

The little girl glared with an angry look on her face.

"Madam, our young lady is really dead. I had great difficulty in bringing her back to life." She said bitterly.

Old Mrs. Fang sneered.

"Didn't he ask to die? How could he be revived?" she said. "I've only heard of people who wanted to live but couldn't, but I've never heard of people who wanted to die but couldn't."

Such words actually came from the mouth of the young lady's only blood relative. Even in the Ning family, who hated them so much, no one said anything. It was really chilling.

However, the little girl who would turn red-eyed and cry at a contemptuous look in the Ning family, did not show the slightest fear at this moment, and stared with her hands on her hips, looking very imposing.

"If my young lady died, it was because of you Fang family who forced her to death." She snorted, "Merchants are profit-driven and ruthless. Our young lady was deceived by you, a lowly person."

Miss Jun sighed in her heart again, it can be seen that everyone has two sides, and this little girl is not cowardly. Looking at her fierce and arrogant appearance, and hearing the humiliation in her words, not to mention the person she scolded, even passers-by would not be able to help but beat her up.

However, Mrs. Fang was not angry at the girl's rudeness, and neither were the maids behind her. Instead, they all looked as if they were used to it.

Miss Jun thought about it and understood. This little girl's attitude towards the Fang family has always been like this. The reason why this little girl behaved like this was of course because her mistress supported her.

Although they came for refuge after both their parents had passed away, the master and servant did not act in a humble and fearful manner as if they were living under someone else's roof. Instead, they were very proud and arrogant. One reason was that Miss Jun's mother had almost cut off contact with her family since she got married, and they had never seen each other except for exchanging gifts during festivals.

Apart from calling her grandmother, Miss Jun was almost a stranger to the people of the Fang family, and the feelings between strangers were relatively weak. Another reason, which was also a more important reason, was that merchants had a low status in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even though my grandmother's family had a lot of money, in the eyes of the impoverished Miss Jun, they were still a lowly merchant family, not to mention that Miss Jun had a marriage contract with a higher status.

Since she came to her grandmother's house, Miss Jun felt that she was mixed up with a lowly merchant family, and she was both disgusted and arrogant. Naturally, this made the Fang family unhappy, and they looked at each other with disgust and spoke unkindly to each other.

What a troublesome child. No matter what, the Fang family is her blood relative. How can she be closer to the Fang family than to the Ning family?

The Ning family looked amiable, but they almost took Miss Jun's life. The Fang family looked ruthless, but they arrived at the first opportunity. This child mistook his relatives for enemies, and his enemies for relatives.

As the thought flashed through Miss Jun's mind, she felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife, and her expression was distorted with pain.

Miss Jun is not the only one who mistakes her enemies for her relatives. She is also one of them. What right does she have to laugh at others?

The expression on Miss Jun's face became distorted, filled with pain, resentment and disgust, which looked very familiar to Old Lady Fang and others. Old Lady Fang did not react, while the maids all took a step back, not disguising the disgust in their eyes.

The little girl naturally saw it as well, and wanted to speak up for the young lady, but Old Lady Fang interrupted her.

"Zhenzhen, I've always known that you have a noble character. The Ning family's behavior is truly intolerable to you... someone come here," she said calmly.

When she said the word "noble character", Miss Jun clearly saw the sneer on the faces of the maids behind her.

Two maids came out.

Old Mrs. Fang looked at Miss Jun.

"Take the rope and escort the young lady to the Ning family's gate, where you can die to show your resolve." She said slowly, "Tell the Ning family that Jun Zhenzhen is theirs in life and theirs in death. It's up to them to decide whether to burn or bury her, and the Fang family will never interfere."

The little girl was so angry that she jumped up and down.

The young lady is in such a state, yet Old Madam Fang still says such things. Is this what a grandmother should say?

"Don't think I don't know. You see that my young lady has no one to rely on, so you want to kill her to avoid being hated by others and ruining your business." She stepped forward and stood in front of Old Lady Fang and shouted, "You despicable people..."

This was the street. Although Beiliu Town was not as prosperous as Yangcheng, there were still many people coming and going at noon. When they stopped by the roadside before, many people had already looked at them sideways. At this time, the voices suddenly became louder, attracting many people to come over.

It was really embarrassing. The maids beside Old Madam Fang hurried forward. It would have been fine if the little girl had been rude in the past, but she even dared to point at the tip of the old lady's nose and curse her. Before they could raise their hands, Old Madam Fang, who had always turned a blind eye to the conflict between master and servant, raised her hand first.

"Troublemaker!" she said, and slapped the little girl in the face.

The little girl never expected that the old lady who had never even looked at her in the eye would suddenly hit her.

Although Mrs. Fang was old, she was very strong. After arriving at the Fang family, the little girl once ran into Mrs. Fang boxing against a wooden stake in the backyard early in the morning. She ran over to see what had happened. The wooden stake was so shiny from being beaten that she told the young lady a joke when she got home.

Her face was no match for a wooden stake. If she was hit by this slap, she would definitely fall down, and some of her teeth might even fall out.

But there was no chance to dodge anymore. The little girl stood there blankly, watching the hand in front of her grow bigger.

A hand reached out and grasped Mrs. Fang's wrist.

Old Mrs. Fang's hand stopped at the little girl's face.

The little girl let out a breath and turned to look at the young lady who was standing over to her.

"Miss." She cried aggrievedly.

Miss Jun didn't look at her, but looked at Old Mrs. Fang.

Old Mrs. Fang also looked at her with a sneer on her face.

"What? I, a poor man, can't hit your girl?" she said.

Miss Jun smiled.

"Grandma, it's not that you can't beat her, it's that you don't have to beat her anymore." She said, holding Mrs. Fang's hand and slowly pulling it down, "The matter has been resolved. The Ning family and I don't owe each other anything. Grandma, you don't have to put on a show to protect me anymore."

Old Mrs. Fang froze as she looked at her.
