Chapter 68 Talking about the West Window at Night Rain
I would like to add more updates for Ling Xiaoqi, Mu Mou, Zixing Qiyue who asked for updates, and for the book friends whose names I don’t know who silently support me.
*********************
Miss Jun walked into the courtyard, and Liu'er had already flown in like a butterfly.
In the yard, as before, there were no crowds of girls and servants. There were still only two girls, Ophiopogon japonicus and white peony root, standing there.
When they saw Miss Jun, they still looked trembling.
In the past, I was fighting because I was afraid of helplessness and injustice. Now I am fighting because of the fear, helplessness, injustice, and shame.
Miss Jun's expression remains unchanged.
I didn't see them in my eyes before, and I don't see them now either.
"You haven't opened the curtain yet." Liu'er shouted from inside, "What are you doing?"
Liu'er is as fierce as before.
Ophiopogon japonicus and white peony root hurriedly opened the curtain.
Fang Chengyu and Miss Jun went in one after another.
"Miss, miss, sit down quickly." Liu'er has already brought tea in person, "Are you tired? Are you hungry?"
Miss Jun sat down and took the tea with a smile and answered the questions one by one.
"Not tired. Not hungry."
After hearing her say that she was neither tired nor hungry, Liu'er immediately started chatting.
"Miss, you don't know, a lot of things happened after you left." She said excitedly, "On the night when you and the young master left, you didn't know, you scared me to death..."
If we start talking about it from that time, we probably won’t be able to finish it before dark.
Fang Chengyu smiled at Liu'er who was dancing happily around Miss Jun, then turned and walked out.
"What's the plan for dinner?" he asked while standing on the porch.
Maidong hurriedly and carefully handed over a list.
"This is arranged by Sister Liu'er," she said.
Fang Chengyu looked carefully. He didn't know what food was delicious. For the past ten years, his diet had been simple and bland.
"Let me go to the kitchen and take a look." He said.
Go to the kitchen and ask carefully, taste and take a look. Isn’t it true that the food is delicious, delicious and tasty?
Maidong responded and watched Fang Chengyu walk out.
"Why did you let the young master go by himself? Why didn't you follow?" Bai Shao walked over and whispered.
Maidong looked at her.
"Why don't you follow?" she said hummingly.
It’s not because of the lessons learned from Ganoderma lucidum.
The two girls stared at each other for a moment.
"However, the young master is now cured..." Maidong hesitated for a moment and whispered.
I used to beg her for treatment when I was sick, but now that I'm cured, I don't need to go overboard with some things, right?
Bai Shao snorted.
"The young master has recovered from his illness, and the young mistress is even more worried." She said, "Besides, if the young mistress really offends the young master, she can cure the young master, but do you think she can make the young master sick again?"
Maidong subconsciously looked inside the room and shrank his head.
"I'm not sure if Young Madam can do it, but Liu'er definitely can." She whispered.
Bai Shao made a sound, laughed again, and shook his head. The two stopped talking and laughing and stood solemnly again.
…………………………………………..
When Miss Jun woke up from her nap, it was already evening and she smelled the fresh coolness. 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 immediately noticed it and looked over and said with a smile, while pouring tea.
"It's better to sleep peacefully at home." Miss Jun said, getting up and taking the tea, "You haven't slept for a while?"
"I squinted for a while." Fang Chengyu said, "Liu'er is still sleeping."
Miss Jun took a few sips of tea.
"She is exhausted, let her sleep well," she said.
So many things have happened, and sometimes the most tiring person is not the person involved, but the bystanders, who are worried without knowing the details.
Fang Chengyu nodded.
"Do you want to eat? The food in the kitchen is ready." He said, "I also told my grandmother and mother that everyone will not eat together tonight and have a good rest."
Miss Jun nodded.
"I'm going to freshen up and then come for dinner," she said.
Fang Chengyu called out to Maidong, who hurriedly came in and accompanied Miss Jun into the clean room. By the time Miss Jun had freshened up and changed her clothes and came out, the lights in the room were already lit and the dining table was set.
"It's hot and you've been on the road for a long time, so I prepared something lighter. I don't know if it suits your taste." Fang Chengyu said, handing over the chopsticks.
During the days we got together, because I had to worry about Fang Chengyu taking medicine, there were taboos on food, and I couldn't tell what Miss Jun liked.
Miss Jun took it and sat down.
"I'm not picky about what I eat," she said with a smile, "I can eat anything. I want to eat everything. It's fun to taste the different flavors of life."
Fang Chengyu smiled and nodded. Ophiopogon japonicus and white peony root served them rice respectively, then bowed their heads and left.
The two of them met quietly in the house to eat. After dinner, because it was raining, they walked slowly in the house listening to the sound of rain outside.
"There is a school field at home, and you, like your grandmother, must insist on exercising every day from now on." Miss Jun said, "Although the disease is cured, the body is severely damaged and the foundation is not good."
"I know." Fang Chengyu said, stretching out his hand and clenching it into a fist, "I walked around several times when I got up this morning, and even hit you and grandma with wooden stakes."
As he spoke, he extended his fist in front of her.
"See if it's still red."
Miss Jun laughed.
"Sister, look, I wrote three big letters today, and my hands are red."
She seemed to see Jiurong standing in front of her with her hands stretched out and acting coquettishly.
There was a bit more sourness in her smile, and then she was happy again.
No matter what, she still has a chance to see Jiu Rong again.
White peony root and Ophiopogon japonicus walked out of the house.
"Master and mistress, the hot water is ready and the bed is made." They saluted.
Before I knew it, it was time to sleep, but how to sleep now?
In the past, it was necessary to treat diseases, but in Runan, it was necessary to take precautions. Now that there is no need to treat diseases or take precautions, how can we still sleep together?
After all, they are not really a couple.
Fang Chengyu lowered his head and picked his fingers.
"There's one more thing I haven't told you yet," he said.
"Then let's talk on the bed." Miss Jun said.
After hearing this, Maidong and Baishao closed the door and retreated as usual.
Miss Jun never wants anyone to stay on night duty here.
"I'm telling you, I killed Magistrate Li with my own hands." Fang Chengyu lowered his 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 Surong said, "It's because he wants to tell a secret about our Fang family, and it seems that this secret cannot be known by others."
That secret.
It turns out that this is the reason for County Magistrate Li, and it all 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 and clear bamboo mats lined up side by side.
Miss Jun sat directly on it. She moved inward and motioned for Fang Chengyu to sit on it too.
Fang Chengyu did not hesitate.
"This is what happened at that time." He said, sitting cross-legged on the bed and talking about it.
After listening to Fang Chengyu's story, Miss Jun nodded.
"You are right, your family must have a secret," she said, "and this secret can mobilize military officials in Shanxi and Henan, and this secret has not been revealed to the public, and even you don't know it.
I don’t think your mother knows either.”
Fang Chengyu nodded.
"This is probably the reason why Uncle Lei said that my father's death was caused by officers and soldiers, and why my grandmother was so certain that it was impossible." He said thoughtfully.
Miss Jun nodded and said nothing.
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, that's why I didn't ask a word." He said with a smile. He put his hand on his chin and changed his posture. "Speaking of which, when I was a child, many things that I found strange and puzzling can be explained with this explanation."
"What's the matter?" Miss Jun asked smoothly.
Fang Chengyu talked about some things from his childhood with great interest. There were many things that he couldn't remember clearly. He was thinking about it while talking. When he finished talking and asked Miss Jun for confirmation, he saw that Miss Jun had leaned on the pillow at some point.
Fell asleep.
Although I slept all afternoon, I must be really tired.
After being away for more than two months, I worked hard to reorganize Jiulingtang in Runan, and experienced a near-death encounter on the road. These past few months have been difficult for everyone, especially her.
Fang Chengyu gently put 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 very worn out and her foundation was not good. Although she had allowed herself to walk alone after the robbery at Baiheliang Mountain, she had no choice but to avoid delaying things in Yangcheng.
Now that he is home, he should sleep with her to avoid her waking up in the middle of the night and worrying.
Wait until she says she doesn't need to sleep together anymore, then separate.
Fang Chengyu exhaled and blew out the lamp in front of the bed, put down the gauze curtain, carefully lay down, and closed his eyes to hide the joy in his eyes.
The drizzle pattered on the banana leaves outside the window, making the night quiet, and the Fang family's house fell into a deep sleep.
Fang Jinxiu was lying in the darkness with her eyes open as usual, when suddenly there were footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open.
who?
She asked subconsciously in her heart, but she was too lazy to move.
"Miss Third." Yuan's voice sounded in the darkness.

After 2,800 words, I realized that everyone misunderstood me about adding more chapters. I originally said that I would add more chapters after revising the plot, but everyone thought that I would add more chapters now. So what should I do? Then I’ll add them~
It’s the weekend, so happy, isn’t it? O(∩_∩)O haha~(To be continued)
