Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 153 Did You Do It? (three more)

Shangguan Yuan's last letter was sent to Jiangnan four days before the news of her death.

But in that letter, she still said that she was very happy, that His Highness treated her very well, that she should never miss her, that she only missed the Xinghua wine at home, and that His Highness did not love Xinghua.

At that time, I was still joking with my grandmother, saying that Shangguan Yuan is a fool, why can't she drink it if the prince doesn't drink it, and also said that if it was my own words, even if I got married, I wouldn't change for her?Why didn't the prince learn to like Xinghua?
At that time, my grandmother was practicing calligraphy. Over the years, my grandmother fell in love with practicing calligraphy. She said that she cultivated her body and cultivated her character.At that time, she did not raise her head, just wrote slowly, nodded in agreement, she said, "Whether a woman is a woman, a mother, or a wife, she should be herself first, otherwise, what is the difference from a walking dead. In this regard, what the old man Shangguan taught is not as good as what I taught. Xiaoyuan... After all, she is too weak."

Unexpectedly, four days later, news of his death spread to Jiangnan.

Grandma's eyes went dark, she couldn't stand firmly, and fell heavily on the chair, clutching the back of the armrest, her veins bulging.She said, Shangguan harmed people, Shangguan...has harmed people!

The grandmother's grudge against the Shangguan family came from the fact that her father took away her heir, and the second came from different educational concepts. She always said that the children taught by her grandfather were too weak, and so did her elder sister and elder brother.

But later she also blamed herself, saying that there should be more communication in daily life, at least, there should be more communication between the juniors.

Ji Wuyan only thought that her grandmother was heartbroken because of the separation of yin and yang early.

But after thinking about it these days, she suddenly came back to it... Shangguan's house is not a fool.Even at that time, Shangguan Yuan was so immersed in the girl's feelings that she couldn't extricate herself, and decided to go all the way to the dark place to enter this gorgeous East Palace, and walk towards the honor of the crown princess.

But...Having been married for half a year, in the disappointment given by the other party again and again, reason should always come back, but if there is a single word of difficulty in her letter, her father and brother will take her back no matter what.

It's not that Shangguan's family can't afford to support a so-called "lower wife".

What's more, in Jiangnan, who would dare to criticize her?

But she still said that everything was fine for her... Unless, she felt that even with all the strength of the Shangguan family, she could not overcome the difficulties, and she had to trap herself in that gorgeous cage to protect the relatives behind her.Thinking of this, Ji Wuyan finally understood her grandmother's final self-blame. Because of the estrangement between the two families, Shangguan Yuan may not have known the meaning of the word "Ji's family" until the end.

She obviously... can call Jiangnan for help.

The woman on the couch slowly sat up straight and bent over slowly. Even though the wound on her left shoulder was still aching from this movement, she still buried her face in her knees in this position.

Since Shen Luoxin came back, for the only time, she allowed her to do things that were not conducive to her recovery.

After a while, she heard the other party whispering, with a choked and broken voice, she said, "That fool... even if he can't protect you in the end, so what... it's better than being alone, sister..."

Shen Luoxin suddenly felt a little sad, sweeping over her.

I can't tell what I'm sad about, it's as if in that voice, the whole person is bewitched, and the negative emotions from the past and present life all rush in, completely drowning people.So she also slowly made the same movements as Ji Wuyan.

He hugged his knees tightly with his hands, and buried his face in his knees.

When Ruoshui came over with the medicine, what he saw was the two people who buried their heads together in front of the door. There was no one in the courtyard, and he didn't know if they were all asleep.Although she didn't know whether ordinary people would have such a strange sleeping position.

But she didn't bother, she just left the kraft paper medicine bag at the door and left quietly.There was some embarrassment between Ji Wuyan and her, or in other words, she felt a little embarrassing unilaterally, so it's okay not to see each other.

……

After a while, Ziqiu entered the yard, didn't see the medicinal material before entering the door, went over, saw that the medicine bowl hadn't been taken away, took it out and went out again, still didn't see the medicine, went over again.

Naturally, Cen Yan came and went in a hurry, and he naturally didn't know what was under his feet, but he was not as lucky as Ziqiu, and his kick happened to land on the medicine bag.There was still a foreign body sensation under his feet. He looked behind him inexplicably, but he didn't see anything, so he just thought it was a relatively large stone, and he muttered to himself, "Whoever swept the ground, there are stones on the road. If What can I do if the girl fell..."

Hearing this, Ji Wuyan hummed, full of resentment, "Don't talk about the stones at the door, even your girl can't kick the stones on this step. Have you seen me go down the steps these days?"

As he spoke, he hummed again, "Who asked Mr. Chen to come here in the first place?"

Cen Yan shrugged, not knowing, "Maybe... it's Brother Gucuo. Or maybe it's the old lady... Oh yes, I just went back to the house, and I saw the Ye family's carriage at the door, and Ruoshui came down from it."

"Oh?" Ji Wuyan raised his eyebrows, subconsciously thinking, what else does Ning Xiuyuan want to do?

"Yes, I've heard about it." Shen Luoxin nodded, gossiping casually, "This Fengchenju is going out of business, but the girl in Fengchenju is busy, every day the door of Fengchenju is full of carriages from different families , and picked up the girls to sing and dance. This Ruoshui has won the favor of Mrs. Ye's family, it's a treasure, and she learns the piano every day."

"You can't sit still?" Ji Wuyan lay on the bed, squinted her eyes and yawned lazily, "The sun is too hot, and I'm very tired... Speaking of which, Fengchenju Is it ready to open soon?"

Shen Luoxin nodded and said yes, "It's almost the same. There was nothing wrong with Fengchenju, and Lily had already left Fengchenju before that. If Aunt Chaoyun was stronger, she wouldn't need to close down at all."

"Closing business... There are also advantages to going out of business." Ji Wuyan stood up with her right arm, and Shen Luoxin hurriedly stood up to help her, but she paused slightly and ordered, "Cen Yan, go and talk to Chaoyun, This Fengchenju... is designed to keep Song Yuanqing closed for a while longer. The reason, don’t make it too shocking, just say that there are still some contradictions in the matter, and I haven’t investigated it clearly.”

Cen Yan didn't ask, but nodded in yes, and went down.

Then Ji Wuyan turned around and walked into the house, muttering as he walked, "It's autumn, the sun is still shining..."

Shen Luoxin didn't follow, she stood outside the door with her toes on the door frame, and asked abruptly, "Wuyan...Did you do Lily's death?"

Ji Wuyan paused and turned to look.
