Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

backyard.

Looking at the man in black waiting by the lake, Bai Xing slowed down, feeling vaguely close to home.

After a long while, he walked past with his head lowered, and asked in a low voice, "You... are back."

Ning Xiuyuan remained calm, "Yes."

"When... did you come back?"

"It's been a long time."

Bai Xing's expression became more and more lonely, he looked like a little wolf dog abandoned by his master, his voice changed, "Where do you live?"

"Ji's family." After Ning Xiuyuan finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Duke Ning's mansion has a mixed population, so it's not safe."

"Oh..." Bai Xing nodded hesitantly, feeling his whole heart sank little by little.Ji's house... Recently I have been there several times, sometimes under the banner that the third master wants to take care of me, and a few times to find Shen Luoxin, and the last time I sent the ancient house away, drinking until midnight .

But she never met Ning Xiuyuan.

If it wasn't deliberately avoided, how could it be possible that they were under the same roof but never saw each other once?So silence, this silence seemed extremely awkward and uncomfortable, he coughed again, nodded and said, "Oh... just come back, just come back."

Then it was speechless.

What can be said?

If you ask why you avoid seeing him, it will make you feel ashamed.If you ask what happened in Yingzhou, it seems like you are deliberately asking.It's not that they never get along with each other in silence, Ning Xiuyuan is not talkative, many times when they sit together drinking tea and drinking, they don't talk very much, but they have never felt so embarrassed like this time.

On the way here, Bai Xing still wanted to explain a few words for his father, thinking that if he said it, the third master would probably believe it.But at this moment, I feel that I am naive after all... After all, I have underestimated how high the temple is and how cold the wind is.

He turned around with a smirk, but he heard a sigh behind him, "I'm not hiding it from you, it's not on guard, it's because I'm worried about your dilemma."

There was a slight pause in the leaving footsteps, Bai Xing did not turn around, he stood on the spot, and quickly clenched the folding fan in his hand.

Ning Xiuyuan sighed again, "If I want to deal with Guo Wen'an, it will inevitably involve the Bai family. I don't want you to be in a dilemma, and I don't want you to doubt and question your father because of me. The relationship between me and you is pure love. I cherish the simplicity of friendship.”

"More importantly, I don't want you to be involved in it. I already feel very sorry for involving your father's punishment and suspicion. When I officially 'come back' in the future, I will definitely come to apologize."

The hand holding the folding fan loosened, tightened and loosened again, Bai Xing couldn't tell what his mood was like at the moment, relaxed?happy?Relieved?I even have some doubts, is this really Ning Xiuyuan?Ning Xiuyuan, who has always been concise and concise to the end, can still be so rambling to himself?

The little wolf dog who was abandoned by the owner suddenly got a good cure. He turned around suddenly, stared at Ning Xiuyuan and asked, "Really?" His voice was trembling cautiously.

Anyway, he is also the master who walks sideways in Yanjing City, cursing at the Crown Prince of the East Palace whenever he wants, but only at Ning Xiuyuan, so cautious and dignified.

Ning Xiuyuan nodded, "Yes. I didn't lie to you. If it weren't for that, with so many people in Yanjing City, could I just write to you and ask you to take care of Ji Wuyan?"

The hand behind his back was let go, Bai Xing smiled, very proud, "I knew it!"

After finishing his complacency, he put away his smile and said seriously, "Third Master. I did ask my father if the matter of Guo Wen'an had anything to do with him, and he said no. I almost made him swear by the tablets of our ancestors. You know, my father is a bit of a petite person, but he has nothing to say to the ancestors of the Bai family, so I trust him in this matter. "

The son asked Lao Tzu to swear by the memorial tablet?Probably only Bai Xing can do it in this world.Ning Xiuyuan heard his temples twitch, and after a while, he patted Bai Xing's shoulder, "You can still stand here alive, your father really dotes on you."

At this moment, the young master of the Bai family has been resurrected with blood in the third master's trust in him, and immediately returned to his inconspicuous appearance, waved his hand, and said casually, "What kind of pet does he favor me... Before I go to ask him, After preparing for two days and two nights, from the righteousness of the family and the country, to the benefits of the family, and then to the brotherhood between me and you, it was almost painstakingly worn out. He perfunctory me and threw me three words, 'not me' , how can I believe it? So I went to the ancestral hall...there are too many ancestors in the ancestral hall of the Bai family, and I don't know which two ancestors I took in the past, and let him swear to him..."

Ning Xiuyuan frowned, looked Bai Xing up and down, saw him standing with full beard and tail, and was surprised at the moment, "Didn't hit you?"

"He wanted to fight, but I was holding the card. If he wanted to hit me, I handed the card... So, I didn't get it."

Ning Xiuyuan looked at Bai Xing who was smiling very complacently, and suddenly felt that if he were his father, he would probably want to beat him up and send him directly to the ancestral hall... Bai Xing can live to this age in peace, Mrs. Bai He and Mrs. Bai must have spent a lot of thought.

"Hehe." Ning Xiuyuan smiled mischievously, "It's good, it's really good..."

After finishing speaking, I didn't bother to talk to this clown anymore, and turned around and walked forward.

Bai Xing is like a little wolf dog who has been praised by his master, and he followed step by step, while walking, he still did not forget the topic just now. It is impossible to make fun of the tablets of the ancestors."

Ning Xiuyuan squinted at him, "Did your father really swear to the tablet?"

With a pause in his footsteps, Bai Xing thought for a while, then shook his head, "That's not true...he came to hit me with his shoes..."

"So, isn't it your young master of the Bai family who made fun of the ancestral tablets? When did you become your father?"

Uh... that seems to be the case.Bai Xing immediately frowned, secretly thinking that he was chased around the yard for a few laps that day, and he was panting and forgot about it... How about going back tonight and repeating the old trick?
His thoughts are too obvious, all on his face.Ning Xiuyuan warned in a low voice, "Don't worry about it. Be careful that your leg is broken... Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with your father. Bian Dongchuan's student is placed under your father's nose, and he can still fight with your father If not, he, Bian Dongchuan, has reached the end of his position as left prime minister."

Bai Xing nodded, followed a few steps, and suddenly realized, "So...you have always believed that my father believed in the Bai family?"

"Ah."

Um? !Just such an understatement of "huh"? !

Bai Xing was dumbfounded, "Then what is the reason for these sleepless days of tossing and turning?"

Ning Xiuyuan looked back at him, also really curious, "So...you have spent so many sleepless nights...you just came up with a way to extract a confession by using a memorial tablet?"
