Though the voice was gentle, Lord Lin did not feel any warmth, only cold and anxiety.
A voice like this, a person like this, you could never know what she was feeling, nor see her confidence.
A hand extended warmly out to you, but at the last moment, used to whip your face.
Lord Lin buried his face in his hands.
"Miss Jun, I must consider this carefully. This is simply, simply the Lin Family's shame. I have no face," he choked out.
"Lord Lin does not need to think so," Miss Jun said, her expression pitying again.
"Thank you very much for Miss Jun's generosity," he replied. When he lifted his head, he was resolute. "But I must give Miss Jun an explanation."
"There is no need for that. It is no good for anyone," Miss Jun said. "I did say she was still young. They want what they want, destroy what they don’t like, don’t know the consequences of what they did. That is ignorant and fearless, so I taught them a lesson, teaching them respect, teaching them what cannot be done, so that they will not commit the mistake again."
After Miss Jun stopped, Lord Lin spoke again.
"It was I who was too lenient with her, letting her make such a serious mistake," he said, painfully.
Miss Jun did not say anything. He didn’t dare say anything else, the silence choking.
"I just wanted to tell Lord Lin the truth. Now that Lord Lin knows…" she said after a moment of silence.
"I know what to do," Lord Lin answered. "Please do not worry, Miss Jun."
The room fell silent again, like they were talking about superficial things.
"That ledger, Lord Lin shouldn’t keep."
Just as Lord Lin’s heart was jumped into his throat, she spoke again.
"How I know this, you need not ask. There are insurmountable walls in the world. No matter if it is found out by other people, or you personally hand it over in the future, it will do no good for Lord Lin. It has already passed, so there is no need to bring it up again," she said.
In other words, she would not bring it up. This was a suggestion and a guarantee.
Lord Lin’s heart gradually sank.
"Thank you so much, Miss Jun, thank you so much," he choked out.
"And as for the Jinyun Hall and Noble Son Ning…" she began.
"I will explain, I will explain to them. Miss Jun needs not do anything," he hastily answered.
She smiled.
"Good. It has been some time since I went out, and something happened in the Jinyun Hall. My family might be worried when they hear this, so I will take my leave first," she said.
Lord Lin hurriedly complied.
"Yes yes, Miss Jun must go back soon, everybody must be shocked," he said anxiously, personally opening the door for her.
She stepped to the side with a smile.
"Please, Lord Lin," she said.
He was an official and a senior. Logically, he should be the first to exit.
Lord Lin was somewhat embarrassed, but he was full of regret and gratitude. Composing himself, he knew that his attitude was inappropriate, but he did not dare stop. He strode out of the door.
On this side, Fang Jinxiu was already waiting impatiently. She had thought of taking advantage of Lord Lin not being here and running out, but the Lin Family servants were glaring at her like vicious tigers. Running would not be easy.
So she could only worry about Jun Zhenzhen in the other room.
"She’s so stupidly gutsy, not just fighting with us, but also being unafraid of officials," she muttered to Jinchuan.
Just as their restlessness was reaching its height, Lord Lin and Miss Jun walked out.
Everyone in the room looked at them, Ning Yunzhao’s gaze going straight to Miss Jun.
