Chapter 1346: Women in Jun Family

Jun Zhao looked at his son helplessly. "You have heard about how Jun Family grow richer and then fall from time to time, haven\'t you?"         

"Yeah." Jun Fang nodded.     

It\'s said that they came to Han Zhui City around two to three centuries ago. At that time, they\'re very rich and powerful and basically swept the entire cities around to be under Jun Family. And everyone respected them.     

But war started and the head passed away due to old age. But as time passed, the descendants were not powerful enough to control so many properties. They began to split and eventually deteriorate. And around a century ago, someone began to gather them all and brought the family to be famous around a century or two ago. At that time, the Jun Family was truly on its peak as there were no one who would dare to offend them in the slightest bit.     

But when the leader passed away, the family was split again. At this point, the number of people in Jun Family was so pitiful that others could only sigh when they saw them.     

"Aside from being a merchant, our ancestors also liked to count stars and calculate people\'s fortune." Jun Zhao sighed. "The last person whom I know doing it is my grandfather, but he said that he couldn\'t really see anything and could only guess."     

"… Does it mean that when we\'re at our peak, it\'s because we\'re relying on counting the stars?" Jun Fang was speechless.     

Superstition was indeed still very strong in this era, but Jun Fang didn\'t really like to think about this matter. It was mostly because he felt that relying on his fist to get what he wanted was much better.     

Rather than bothering to learn about the stars\' movement and how it affected their fate, he would rather be pragmatic and just see things that existed in front of him.     

"Yes."     

Nan Hua listened from the side.     

For some reasons, she had the feeling that there was indeed something strange from their conversation, but she couldn\'t really pinpoint what it was. And hearing them talking about their ancestors, Nan Hua began to think about what kind of time it was.     

After all, civilization many centuries ago was definitely very different as compared to the current civilization.     

A thought crossed her mind.     

"I have a question."     

"Yes, Adjutant Nan?"     

"Is your family head a woman?" Nan Hua asked in a low voice.     

Jun Zhao was stunned and looked at Nan Hua incredulously. He wanted to refute, but looking at that black pupil staring in his direction, he could only sigh. In the end, Jun Zhao nodded quietly.     

"Yes. It\'s kept a secret but aside from the head, when there\'s a woman in the Jun Family who could count the stars, they\'ll be the hidden family head and their husband will be married into Jun Family instead of them being married away. My grandfather told me about this when I was young, but because Jun Family rarely have daughters, I don\'t think too much about it."     

Jun Family was also a family that was strong in Yang like Feng Family. They didn\'t have many females in their family and aside from Jun Fang\'s cousin sister, his father\'s family didn\'t even have any woman.     

No matter how many concubines taken, the child would be boys.     

It was to the point that even his ancestors were tired with that and finally gave up on the thought of making more children.     

They already have enough troublemaker.     

Not to mention, some of the people from Jun Family was truly annoying and caused many things to happen in the past. It was very detrimental. When war started, they were all assigned to the frontline and many were sacrificed.     

Some of their wives returned to their maternal family and some others chose to stay in Jun Family and enjoyed the riches from here.     

"How… how did you actually guess it?" Jun Zhao looked at Nan Hua with a complicated expression. If not for Nan Hua helping his son over and over again, he actually didn\'t want to tell her about this.         

Nan Hua didn\'t answer.     

She seemed to have found some answers about some things that she found strange. But there were still many things that was left unknown.     

She will explore it slowly.     

"This scroll contained some of the clues." Nan Hua pointed to the scroll. She then looked at Jun Zhao. "And whoever knows about Jun Family secret will continue to chase after you for this book."     

Jun Zhao\'s expression changed.     

He thought that it was just some nonsense from his cousin sister. Because he felt bad, he kept it with him. But he didn\'t expect that it was such nonsense scroll that would actually put him in a bad situation and even endanger his son\'s life.     

He frowned. "Can I just burn the scroll?"     

"They will still chase after you so that you can tell them the content." Nan Hua played with the scroll in her hand. "I don\'t have many people in Han Zhui City, but if you\'re willing to move, I can let my men to protect you. For this scroll, I will stage a scene that will make them believe that the scroll is gone."     

Jun Fang\'s eyes widened. "You can do that?"     

"Yes."     

Jun Zhao looked at Nan Hua carefully. He didn\'t believe that Nan Hua was going to do this willingly for them without asking for anything in return. There was no way that a pie will fall on their heads from the sky for nothing.     

"Adjutant Nan, is there anything you want?"     

"This scroll." Nan Hua looked at Jun Zhao and then replied, "I would like to keep it."     

"That\'s…."     

"Your cousin sister\'s children need these."     

Jun Zhao was stunned and looked at Nan Hua incredulously. He knew that his cousin sister had to be married to someone. But because he hadn\'t heard from her from a long time, he never thought about it.
