Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 138 Same Corner, Same Foothold (Part [-])
Heavy wind and heavy rain made it difficult to travel at night.

Ning Xiuxian went back to the yard angrily, shaking off the rainwater splashed on his body, facing his wife's nagging, but still worried about Ning Xiuyuan in his heart.

"That kid seems to have a big idea, but it always makes people worry..."

Even with the umbrella on, most of the clothes were still wet. Jiang Shi undressed him and frowned slightly, "Your husband is talking about... Uncle?"

"Who else could it be but him, and I don't know who I learned from, and what he said was true and false, even if I listened to him, I didn't know which of him was true and which was false..." At that time, the dim candlelight was stained with frost. Han's expression, thinking about it now, seems like he is dazzled, but in his heart, he still feels weak, and always feels that maybe what he hesitated to say at the beginning is the real reason.

Companion is like a tiger.

Jiang Shi persuaded him, "My uncle is so weak that he is no longer a child. What's more, he is an extremely human minister, and his intelligence is different from ordinary people. Come to think of it, even if he doesn't tell you, he still has his own plans... Always, for You are good for this family."

"I'd rather him be mediocre... The world says he's so wise that he's close to a monster, but they don't know... so wise... Yi Yao."

Jiang's hand that was holding the robe trembled, and the robe slipped off the screen. She turned her head and said, "Husband! Be careful that the wall has ears..."

"In my own house, what are you worried about? What's more, it's okay to spread this word. I'm just worried about him. I'm not afraid of the shadow when I'm upright."

Ning Xiuxian didn't take it seriously, but Jiang Shi didn't agree, "Your husband and gentleman are upright and upright, but if people in the house spread the word, it's inevitable that someone with a heart will take it out of context, and three people will become tigers. Maybe what will happen if it spreads to my uncle's ears. It’s always right to be careful.”

This remark is also reasonable, Ning Xiuxian nodded and said he understood, looked at the sky outside, and shook his head again, "This kid... what younger siblings, he hasn't even written his horoscope yet!"

"Miss Ji..." Picked up the robe on the ground, hung it on the screen, took a handkerchief and wiped the wet ground, and did it herself, "Miss Ji seems to be easy to get along with, and my mother likes it too. Of course, the most important thing is that my uncle likes it himself."

"Well... Forget it, let's not talk about him, worry!" He said, but he was still the boy waiting at the door, "You go to the dining room and let him know, I don't know when he will come back tonight, It’s raining too much, let’s prepare some ginger soup.”

The boy nodded and went down, Ning Xiuxian became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, he waved his hand, "I'm asleep, it's not too early now."

……

The same corner, the same foothold, when Ning Xiuyuan jumped into Ji's mansion with familiar ways, he found that there was no white mist tonight.On the contrary, several auras seemed to linger around.

He just pretended not to know, and headed towards Ji Wuyan's yard with an oiled paper umbrella. He walked calmly, and he didn't forget to tell Xi An, who came in brightly, "Let Xi Yu come back early tomorrow morning. He has one face at the time, and another face when he complains, hehe... This is especially true, the superficial skills are getting better."

"Maybe...he also realized that the assassin's original target was Princess You, so he was in a hurry."

"Then he is also avenging his personal revenge and abusing his power." After speaking, he raised his footsteps, fell back to the original place, looked at the man in front of him and smiled, "Brother Gucuo, long time no see."

How perfunctory.

If I remember correctly, it has not been two hours since the last time the two parted.

The smile faded slightly, and the voice was much gentler, "Don't worry, is she... awake?"

"Not yet. Lord Ning, please go back. Why did my girl suffer such a catastrophe? It seems that she replaced Princess You...but Princess You came here before, and the words seemed to be very disrespectful to my girl. It's pleasing to the eye, I pointed at Sang and scolded Huai in the flower hall for a long time, probably thinking that you and my girl are getting closer. Therefore, I also doubt whether Princess You's own handwriting is involved in this matter... Maybe, Is it self-directed and self-acted?"

The rain is getting heavier.

The world is filled with the sound of rain.At that time, the few strands of sight around his body disappeared at some point.Ning Xiuyuan was sure that he didn't feel those people the last time he came back, and he wasn't sure if it was because there was no white mist today.

He also thought about the ancient house.

What the assassin said is probably true, but who is the real mastermind... Anyone who knows about their trip is suspicious.

Including You Lingxi.

The princess who grew up in the imperial capital, immersed in the center of power, can never be really ignorant of world affairs.

It's just that it hasn't touched its own interests.

Tightening the handle of the umbrella in his hand, he was not angry at the other party's cynicism. Ning Xiuyuan promised in a deep voice, "I will definitely find out the truth of this matter and give you an explanation. Just leave it alone... here In Yanjing City, offend as few people as possible, otherwise, both Wuyan and you will struggle at every step."

Gucuo really accepted his love, "So... then I would like to thank Mrs. Ning first. However, since you have visited late at night today, you should go back. Otherwise, the rumors about my girl and Mrs. Ning will be heard tomorrow. It's going to get worse."

The entire Ji family is in order, and it seems that there is indeed no major problem. Coupled with the presence of Mr. Chen, Ji Wuyan's injury is only a matter of time.It's just that since you're here, you have to take a look, "Just take a look, and I'll leave after I'm done."

After all, he took people with him.

In such weather, it is not easy to come and go after many twists and turns.

Ning Xiuyuan also did what he said, he said he would leave after seeing her, but he really just took a look, seeing that her breath was calm and her complexion was better, he really left.

Even so, when he returned to Duke Ning's mansion, he only had time to take a bath and change clothes, and then hurried out to go to court again.

In the morning, the rain continued.

A cold autumn rain.

A few days ago, there was still a bit of heat, but this morning I only felt a cool breeze, blowing people's necks and necks.Passers-by in twos and threes on the road pass by in a hurry, with their heads down, regardless of whether they know each other or not, they all pass by.

Even so, the two or three things that had to be said about Third Master Ning and Ji Wuyan still spread.

This time is different from before.

Before, I was more or less chasing, and I was more interested in gossip after dinner. Guessing, guessing, it doesn’t matter, idle is idle, after all, you have to pay money to go to a teahouse to listen to an opera, but this is not necessary.

This time it was the real thing, the evidence was conclusive, and the witnesses and material evidence were all complete.

It is said that the two traveled together, went out early in the morning, and returned at night. They went out separately, but came back in the same carriage—of course, there are many rumors that add fuel to the story, for example, the girl was carried out of the carriage. .

"Yo oh..."
