After blurting that out, Ning Yunzhao immediately felt annoyed .
What was he doing, talking about things that had nothing to do with her .
It really had nothing to do with her, but there was no harm in saying it . Miss Jun smiled in polite acknowledgement .
"I wish Noble Son a pleasant journey," she said .
Calmly calm, sincerely sincere, without any half-heartedness .
It was like this between him and her, like the cordiality he had imagined .
Right now, the one standing in front of him was she who faced off against him at the Lantern Festival . A smile bloomed across his face, but he was also somewhat baffled .
The Jun Zhenzhen in other people’s descriptions was totally different .
It seemed that other people’s eyes could not see the truth, or she was deliberately faking it .
Ning Yunzhao was somewhat lost in thought .
On her side, Miss Jun was also somewhat baffled . It looked like he had something else to say, but he wasn’t saying anything .
She thought for a moment .
"Noble Son Ning, now that you’ve made an engagement for your sister, these youthful, frivolous things are of the past . To be someone’s wife or mother, their conduct must be much more considerate," she said . "I think that Noble Son Ning can relax . "
Ning Yunzhao stared .
She thought that he suddenly blurted that out because he was worried about the future conflict and so he was hesitant to leave?
Now the mood was somewhat awkward .
He also didn’t know why he had fallen silent, but being silent after he stopped walking right next to her was inappropriate .
It was like he was reluctant to part .
But in reality, there was no reason for there to be a reluctance between them .
This really was quite embarrassing .
In light of this, he was even more at a loss of what to say .
Miss Jun saw that he was awkward . Telling another person about your family’s mistakes would make them feel awkward .
"And if Tenth Noble Son is here, even if something happens, he will be able to help . So don’t misunderstand me," she said with a smile .
Did this mean ‘if you are here, I won’t worry?’
It’s me who believes in you .
Or is it you protecting me .
His fingernails dug into his palm . His heart swelled with an indescribable sourness, suddenly bulging outwards, but when he looked carefully there was nothing .
He was still silent .
Of course, after that thing with the Lin Family, Ning Yunzhao’s suspicions and aversion to her would be very normal .
He was worried it wouldn’t just be the Lin Family, but also him, thought Miss Jun . She smiled again .
"I am indebted to Grandmother for taking care of my marriage to Little Cousin . I am content to stay at home and attend to my husband and teach the children . I cannot act the way I did as a young girl," she said . "What I do is not just for myself, but for the whole family . "
Ning Yunzhao’s heart awoke from its stupor .
That’s right . He forgot . She was married .
His gaze fell on her once more . Right now they were standing so near in a brightly lit room, unlike the last two times when they had met under the cover of night . He could clearly see her beautiful face, pretty as the painted flowers of spring . She was in her maiden years, but her hair was pulled up . Obviously she was not a young girl, but a young lady .
She was married to her younger cousin, the young master of the Fang Family .
Paralyzed for many years, diagnosed by many doctors to not live more than fifteen years, Young Master Fang .
He was already fourteen this year . That meant he could only live for another year .
She couldn’t really want to be a widow?
She was just fifteen? Even if she was married? This girl had not blossomed and was already withered .
"Why should it be like this," he blurted out .
She went blank, not understanding for a while .
"Even if you didn’t marry Young Master Fang, I think that the Fang Family would have taken care of you," he said .
He said it, why did he suddenly say it?
Moreover, he was concerned about her?
Miss Jun didn’t know what she should say . She even felt slightly awkward .
Ning Yunzhao naturally saw her awkwardness, and regret welled up in his heart .
It was wrong of him to say that . It seemed like he thought that she was the kind of person that didn’t trust her maternal family and was being used .
Of course she wasn’t that kind of person .
"I feel that there are many ways to repay a debt, you don’t just need to indebt your life to them," he said seriously . "Like when my grandfather did that to your grandfather . It really was not right . "
She and Fang Chengyu were married, of course, not because of a debt . The marriage was fake .
But of course she could not say that .
As for saying something else, there was nothing good to say .
Should she bewail her fate pitifully, or happily believe that a good deed will be returned, or sincerely say, ‘humans are not fish, so how would they know a fish’s happiness?’
Firstly, acting fake was something Miss Jun couldn’t be bothered to do, and secondly, the person asking the questions was Ning Yunzhao .
"Noble Son Ning is overanxious," she said with a smile, eying him . "There is no need to say this thing now . "
Ning Yunzhao went into a stupor once again .
Yes, there was no need to say this thing anymore .
She was already married, in everyone’s eyes she had already become a wife of the Fang Family . Could it be she could undo what happened?
There was no meaning to saying those things now .
Especially by the person asking the questions .
If it weren’t for the Ning Family not acknowledging the marriage contract, how could she marry Young Master Fang . She would be a wife of the Ning Family, his wife .
This thought flashed through Ning Yunzhao’s mind . He felt himself stiffen, his heart pounding like drums .
He wanted to say something, but he also didn’t know what to say .
He lowered his gaze, looking at Miss Jun’s hands lightly clasped together .
Those fair and tender arms seemed to have turned into a stalk of grass hanging over a cliff, like a warm teacup in the winter .
Ning Yunzhao suddenly wanted to grab her hand, like that was the only way his heart would calm down .
Those hands unclasped and fell to her sides .
"Noble Son Ning is setting out on a journey today . Will you make it to the relay station by night?"
She spoke right into his ear, and it was like rain was poured onto the flames of his anxiety .
What was he thinking?
Ning Yunzhao felt his ears burn .
Probably it was because he was blaming himself that Miss Jun married Young Master Fang . But people make their own decisions . Although he felt regretful, apologetic, he could not blame himself . That was just bringing trouble to yourself .
"Not sure," he recovered . "If I don’t make it to lodging, I will spend the night outdoors . It’s spring right now, so there is no fear of cold . "
She smiled and nodded .
"That’s very good," she said .
As the topic changed, the former awkward silence was swept away in an instant .
Ning Yunzhao was a straightforward person . He was best at quick sword cuts through tangled hemp . He raised his hand in polite acknowledgement .
"I will take my leave now," he said .
Miss Jun returned the gesture .
"I wish Noble Son Ning a pleasant journey," she said .
The conversation had finally returned to this point . Ning Yunzhao moved past her and opened the door .
Fang Jinxiu turned around from where she was standing outside the door . Ning Yunzhao paid his respects to her before leaving in long strides .
Fang Jinxiu’s lips curled and she turned around . Miss Jun stepped out from the room, seeming like she wanted to say something but was swallowing it down .
Fang Jinxiu saw her hesitance to speak .
She snorted .
"There’s no need to tell me what you talked about . I am not interested," she declared .
Miss Jun smiled bitterly .
"I definitely had no plans of telling you what we talked about," she said .
Because she didn’t know what she should say .
It was like Ning Yunzhao had come especially to apologize to her for the Ning Family not acknowledging her engagement .
But carefully thinking about it, that wasn’t it . Ning Yunzhao personally said that he wouldn’t acknowledge the engagement . He didn’t believe that that was something wrong .
It really was mystifying
