Chapter 318: Vicious mind

“Yes, Fang Zhou,” Lian Hai couldn’t help but persuade: “Miss Zhao has said so, so just agree to it! Beside, this is a good thing for Ah Jian. His reputation will become better and better, it’s absolutely no harm to him!”

There was no harm, only great advantages!

“Miss Lian, please fulfill my wish!” Zhao Ru Jun actually stood up and walked two steps towards Lian Fang Zhou, slightly bending over to salute her while saying sincerely: “Miss Lian, please! Miss Lian, grant this small request!”

Lian Fang Zhou was even more furious— what a good act!

She was completely unwilling but even if she refused Young Lady Zhao, even if she accused Lian Hai of being a lobbyist, so what?

What was more, it was impossible for her to pass Ah Jian over like this. In her heart, Ah Jian had never been an outsider living under her roof but a friend, a relative!

“Fang Zhou—”

Before Lian Hai’s words of persuasion were finished, Lian Fang Zhou had stood up and avoided her, saying calmly: “Young Lady Zhao, don’t do that, I can’t afford it! And I think, Young Lady Zhao, you have asked the wrong person! Ah Jian has the final say about whether to go to Zhao manor, you might as well ask him!”

Smiling, Zhao Ru Jun hurriedly said: “Naturally I will also ask Master Jian but I also wanted to ask Miss Lian! As long as Miss Lian agrees to it, it is fine! After all, Master Jian has been living in the Lian house for so long. If Miss Lian does not agree, how could a loyal and justice person like Master Jian agree to leave?”

“Miss Zhao doesn’t seem to understand my meaning!” Lian Fang Zhou sneered in her heart. Glancing at her, she continued: “Ah Jian is a relative of my family, he has the freedom to choose. I have always respected his choices and would never control his personal affairs. If my family intervenes indiscriminately, what would I become? Ah Jian is here now, could Young Lady Zhao ask him directly?”

“I didn’t have any other meaning! Miss Lian, you have misunderstood me! I, I just thought that since Master Jian lives in the Lian house, I would like to ask you, the owner of the house, to get your approval first— I really, there is no other meaning!” Zhao Ru Jun’s face changed a little as she quickly explained, glancing at Lian Hai imploringly.

Lian Hai was flattered and refreshed, and hurriedly persuaded Lian Fang Zhou again: “Yes, Fang Zhou, it’s natural for Young Lady Zhao to ask this way, she is respecting you as a master!”

Lian Fang Zhou sneered openly and said to Lian Hai with a straight face: “I don’t understand Cousin’s words. Didn’t I explain it clearly enough? Ah Jian’s affairs are in his own hands. Why is Young Lady Zhao insisting that I should agree or not agree?”

Now that her fury from the beginning had eased, Lian Fang Zhou finally understood what was happening.

Zhao Ru Jun had deliberately asked her in front of Ah Jian. If Lian Fang Zhou had dared to agree, it would have been the equivalent to selling Ah Jian to Zhao Ru Jun. How would this make Ah Jian feel?

She believed that with Zhao Ru Jun’s ability, even if she had not originally intended his, by the end of the matter, it would have definitely become something like that!

At that time, how would Ah Jian feel in his heart? She was afraid that, even if he wanted to stay with her, it would not be easy, right?

As expected, Zhao Ru Jun was extremely smart and calm. She dismissed the horse first and then dug the pit. She didn’t find it bothersome to make tricks, one after another!

It was just that she also believed she could never be wrong and thought she could never be the fool.

If she sincerely wanted to invite Ah Jian to tutor her servants, she would accept a refusal. Like this, Lian Fang Zhou thought that it was possible that he would go.

But now, she knew that Ah Jian would not.

“Fang Zhou!” Lian Hai had not expected Lian Fang Zhou to be so stubborn. He suddenly couldn’t get off the stage, even feeling that he had lost face in front of Zhao Ru Jun. His tone was faintly dissatisfied. Frowning, he said: “Young Lady Zhao has kindly asked for help. In order to show sincerity and respect, she has come to the door personally, how could you talk to her like this?”

Lian Fang Zhou didn’t know whether to laugh or be angry: Look, just because her cousin had a good relationship with her family he was willing to provoke her!

“Young Lady Zhao, please go back!” Ah Jian, who had not spoken yet, suddenly said: “I will not go to your house to instruct your servants. I am not interested!”

Unexpectedly, Ah Jian had refused so simply and neatly that Zhao Ru Juan and Lian Hai were stunned.

Lian Hai couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed, thinking that Ah Jian was very ignorant. The conditions mentioned by Young Lady Zhao were so good but he was too good, refusing as soon as he spoke! Don’t think that killing a few wolves with a bit of brute force was so amazing, in reality it was just recklessness!

In fact, what annoyed him was that Ah Jian was too shameless.

However, Lian Hai didn’t stop to think about why Ah Jian needed to give him face. After all, what position did he have relative to Lian Fang Zhou? Just because Zhao Ru Jun had come to invite him personally in a polite manner, Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian had to fully agree to Zhao Ru Jun’s proposal? He hadn’t asked Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian’s opinion before agreeing to help Young Lady Zhao, what qualification did he have to be annoyed?

Lian Hai was annoyed and frustrated but, knowing Ah Jian’s prestige in the village, he did not dare to reprimand him easily. It could be said that, except for his parents and some of the Hua family, the rest of the village were his dedicated supporters!

“Young Lady Zhao, please go back!” Ah Jian didn’t even glance at her as he spoke: “This land of peace is guarded by county officials and the servants of the Zhao family are only for defending against ordinary thieves, what kind of marital arts do they need to specially learn? If you really want to talk about learning martial arts, its impossible to do so even in eight or ten years. Does Young Lady Zhao really intend to have her servants learn for that long?”

Zhao Ru Jun was speechless. After a moment, she stood up with a light sigh and said: “I was too hasty! I am not afraid of making Master Jian laugh. I heard that a large family in a neighboring county had suffered severe losses from thieves. Without a brother to support the family, its unavoidable to worry! I happened to hear about Master Jian’s skill in dealing with the wolves, so this idea came to me. I didn’t think it through, letting Master Jian laugh.”

“However,” she continued, raising her head to give Ah Jian a sincere look, “I really do want to ask Master Jian to come and give a few pointers. At least this can buy some peace of mind! Besides, Miss Lian is not yet out of the inner courtyard. There is a lot of talk about narrow rooms and melon fields and plums. Many people say that Master Jian stays in the Lian house for so long because of Miss Lian! Miss Lian, won’t blame me for being outspoken, right? I am a girl too and I can see it right away, I admire a girl with such bravery and am willing to speaking of these things to her. To others, naturally, I would never say it!”

Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian both stared at Zhao Ru Jun, their twin gazes like sharp swords. Zhao Ru Jun shuddered and a cold air filled her heart.
