Mrs. Li, have you made enough of a scene? The study is a place of tranquility. If you continue to act like a shrew, don't blame me for being impolite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li became even more furious. She suddenly grabbed the inkstone from the table and, regardless of the consequences, hurled it at Jun Zheng's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Jun Zheng had long ago honed a knack for dodging under Mrs. Li's hand, otherwise, his head would surely have been smashed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inkstone hit the floor with a crisp *bang* and shattered into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the shattered inkstone on the floor, veins bulged on Jun Zheng's forehead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mrs. Li, have you gone mad enough yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Mrs. Li retreated to the door before Jun Zheng could act, and shouted at the top of her lungs:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavens! Jun Zheng is trying to kill someone! Someone come quickly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god, this act is back again!\" The maids and matrons rolled their eyes, muttering to themselves, \"These two ancestors are at it again; whoever goes to intervene will be the unlucky one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maids and matrons hid in the corners, cracking melon seeds while watching the spectacle, silently chanting to themselves: \"I am certainly not going to be cannon fodder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zheng clutched his forehead, his face full of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Li hid to one side, shouting while secretly observing Jun Zheng's expression, calculating in her heart: \"Can I take this opportunity to fish for more benefits?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Li's wail was so loud that it shook the dust from the rafters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight's show was quite good. Fei Ying did not intervene; he simply lay on the rafters watching the fun. He hadn't expected the dust falling from the rafters to cover his face, and his ears had suffered greatly tonight, so he was pondering how to demand more compensation from Jun Ziqin when he returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhiedie had originally been covering herself with a quilt, pretending to be dead, but she could no longer keep up the act. She threw off the quilt, revealing a face that looked as if life held no meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zhihao had been cuddling a little maid, but was so frightened by that shout that he nearly became an impotent man; the look on his face was truly spectacular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two siblings thought in unison: \"It's happening again, it's happening again, this life is unbearable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless, the two siblings put on their outer robes and arrived one after another at Jun Zheng's study. Jun Zhiedie looked impatient, and before she even arrived, she roared irritably:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the middle of the night, can't people sleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Li was actually somewhat afraid of Jun Zhiedie. Once Jun Zhiedie showed such an irritable expression, it meant she was going to lecture her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Mrs. Li could not care about anything else. Seeing that someone had finally arrived, she immediately threw herself forward, wailing and howling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've finally come! Your father is trying to kill me! You must stand up for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zheng was so angry his beard was twitching, but in front of his only two children, he still had to maintain some image. He suppressed the anger in his heart and snorted coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your ability to turn black into white is truly remarkable. Enough.\" Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and left, his back resolute and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Jun Zhihao and Jun Zhiedie also left, leaving Mrs. Li alone in place, her eyes full of unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, before the sky was fully bright, Jun Zheng rose early and unconsciously walked again to the path where he had met Qing Yu yesterday. Morning mist permeated the air, and the morning chill was biting, yet his steps were unusually light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Qing Yu seemed to have timed it perfectly and appeared there again. Today she wore a red dress, like the warm sun in winter. She carried a flower basket filled with freshly picked flowers, the petals still dotted with crystalline dew. Seeing Jun Zheng, she curtsied gracefully, her movements as gentle as a budding flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zheng walked closer to her and smelled the faint fragrance of the flowers mixed with her own subtle scent, which made his heart flutter. He looked down at the flower basket and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The flowers in your basket are truly beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Yu lowered her head shyly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's: \"These were all picked by this servant. If the Second Master likes them, you may take them to decorate your study.\" She handed over the flower basket, her fingers trembling slightly, appearing somewhat nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zheng took the flower basket, his fingers brushing against Qing Yu's. In that instant, Qing Yu's cheeks turned bright red, like clouds dyed by the sunset. She quickly withdrew her hand and lowered her head, not daring to look at Jun Zheng again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the gentle and shy Qing Yu before him, Jun Zheng could not help but feel a trace of pity. Her purity formed a stark contrast to Mrs. Li's unreasonableness, allowing the long-suppressed emotions in his heart to finally find an outlet. He even momentarily forgot that Mrs. Li was a thoroughly jealous woman; his heart itched with desire, and he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qing Yu, shall we go to the study together to arrange these flowers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Yu was overjoyed, but she tried her best to control her expression. She lifted her head, a flash of surprise in her eyes, then lowered it again gently and obediently replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the Second Master commands, this servant will naturally obey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, Jun Zheng walked with unhurried steps, fearing that any sudden movement would scare away the little white rabbit that had fallen into his trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Yu followed closely behind, fearing that if she were careless, she would lose the old fox who had taken the bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Zheng and Qing Yu entered the study. Qing Yu placed the flower basket on the table and began to carefully arrange the flowers. Although she appeared to be looking down, her eyes would steal glances at Jun Zheng from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding on the rafters, Fei Ying's mouth twitched. *There's a show to watch; let me add some fuel to the fire.* Fei Ying flicked a bit of medicinal powder into the air and then slipped away. That girl was going to the Divine Arm Camp today, and the time was about right; he had to scram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quan Aoyu had told Jun Ziqin about establishing the Divine Arm Camp. The brothers in the camp each had a Flying Arrow, and they were all one-in-a-hundred experts. Although they couldn't match Quan Aoyu's ability to shoot over 600 meters, it was no problem for them to hit targets at 400 meters with the Flying Arrows. Their previous bows and arrows had a maximum range of no more than 200 meters. They hadn't even woken up from the pride of being fortunate enough to become soldiers of the Divine Arm Camp when they heard about Princess Qingping, who had designed these Flying Arrows and shot through three copper coins with one arrow at the Royal Horse Track. They were going crazy wanting to see her arrow technique that could curve. Jun Ziqin finally had some free time today. With Han Xiao and the capable Hua Sheng watching over the down jacket workshop in the Princess's Mansion, all work was orderly, and she didn't fear anyone causing trouble, so she planned to make a trip to the main camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jun Zheng was taking Qing Yu to the study, Mrs. Li ran into Jun Ziqin, who was about to head out. Mrs. Li had been holding a belly full of fire from last night with nowhere to vent it. Seeing this Jun Ziqin, who had been frequently in the spotlight lately, she found her even more of an eyesore. Having long since thrown Jun Zhihao's warnings to the back of her mind, she put her hands on her hips, tilted her head, and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, who is this? Isn't this the Second Young Lady who slaughters chickens and ducks all over the street, delusional about using the feathers of feathered beasts to make clothes? What should I say about you? Fantastical? Is our Second Young Lady addicted to being in the spotlight? It's simply ridiculous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that this shrew hadn't taken her medicine again today and was acting crazy the moment she appeared, a trace of coldness rose in Jun Ziqin's heart. She raised the corners of her mouth, though her eyes remained cold, and said faintly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Aunt, your words are too many. I have things to do today and no time to chat with you.\" Jun Ziqin turned and walked out of the mansion gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li was instantly enraged by shame: \"Don't think that just because you were granted the title of Princess, you're something special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Ziqin paused and hooked her lips into a wicked smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Second Aunt, did you get separated from Second Uncle? Are you going out? I just saw Second Uncle bring a maid back. It was from a distance, so I couldn't see who that maid was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Ziqin's voice was faint, with no discernible emotion. After saying this, she took Guazi and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Mrs. Li was a jealous woman, those who followed Jun Zheng were always manservants; there had never been a maid. When Mrs. Li heard that Jun Zheng had brought back a maid, she immediately felt that the matter was not simple. She flicked her hand in anger, stomped her feet a few times, and gritted her teeth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good for you, Jun Zheng, you actually dare to sneak around behind my back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1660,"2026-06-21T03:35:39.629Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5c7a7939a5b4b82a2e7afd097840231b603670763208fcdc68f3ad8ae862e022","the-phoenix-returns-to-rule-the-world-chapter-100","the-phoenix-returns-to-rule-the-world-chapter-98",224,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-phoenix-returns-to-rule-the-world-cover.jpg"]
