Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 460 Two-Way Feelings (Part [-])

Ji Wuyan only felt pain in his head.

They are all old foxes who come and go in the world. Even the second master Ning, who looks rough in comparison, is still the best of the best.

I have a golden abacus in my heart, and I can measure the gains and losses of favors and interests anytime, anywhere.

Ji Wuyan had dealt with Ning Xiuren a few times before, and because of Ning Xiuyuan's relationship, the second master was kind to him, but even if he was friendly, he still maintained a sense of distance.

It's not that it was deliberately targeted at her, it was probably the habit formed in the business and dealing with people over the years, which was engraved into the bones and blood.

Will not be broken easily.

And elder brother... is the one who can break Second Master Ning's habits.Ji Wuyan propped his chin, looking at his brother who lost his elegance and almost slapped the table to quarrel, so naive, so out of place... Such a brother may have appeared in the so-called "open crotch pants period". Anyway, Ji Wuyan had never seen it before.

"My lord, I don't like you? Why do I, a big man, want to please you, Shangguan Chu? But you, these years are still alone. You are beautiful, elegant, and elegant. Why haven't you seen anyone please?"

"That's because they didn't please my son! My son is so rich, what kind of girl do you want? Oh! Childish! I heard that your second master Ning is very obedient now, hurry up and go back after a few bites. Mrs. Ling...that is, my younger brother and sister are waiting at the door with a whip in hand."

Everyone knows that the second lady of the Ningguo Mansion is not from a high family background. She is a marginal figure in the circle of wives in Yanjing City. Officer, but he closed the door and was happy and relaxed.

It's just that there's always some embarrassment on the stage, with poorly cultivated words and jokes and insinuations, and slightly reserved, smiling and silent.But whether it is in words or expressions, there is always a little bit of respect missing - after all, it is a fake phoenix that flies on a branch, how can it be possible to get the so-called respect?

When it came to Shangguan Chu, it was the complete opposite. He didn't want to see Ning Xiuren, but he didn't show any disrespect to the second lady in his words. lady.

It is probably because of this reason that no real hostility has ever appeared between the two, even though they may not see each other.

On the contrary, it looks like a bad friend.

"The men in our Ning family are all proud. Among them, the second brother is the most so." Ning Xiuyuan tilted his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "He has never admired anyone in his life, but he admires only one person. It's not me, Not the eldest brother, but the brother Shangguan whom he dislikes the most."

Ji Wuyan was slightly taken aback, looked at Ning Xiuyuan, and then at the two men who were blushing, a little surprised...Admiration?
Ji Wuyan can probably guess that the relationship between the two is not as tense as it seems on the surface, and there is even a vague sense of sympathy for each other.But in terms of admiration... Ji Wuyan really hasn't seen it yet.She raised her eyebrows and pouted in the direction of Shangguan Chu, her face full of confusion.

Ning Xiuyuan poured her a cup of tea, and leaned closer, "Second brother is upright, stubborn, and resigned to death. He often resembles my old man. In his opinion, a man should behave like a man." ...Even if there are wounds all over his body, they are achievements and meritorious deeds, so what he despises the most in his life is someone like Brother Shangguan... who looks handsome and weak."

"However, on the way of doing business, there is only Brother Shangguan these years, who can make the second brother feel that he is an evenly matched opponent. Presumably, if Brother Shangguan... can be more heroic, the relationship between the two must be better than brothers Dear..." Ning Xiuyuan held the teacup in front of the corner of his mouth, covered the lower half of his face, and then concluded his statement, "It's probably...a feeling of hating iron for being weak."

As a rival in career, she is hearty enough, and as a confidant, she is sympathetic enough. However, one is stubborn and conservative in character, and the other is unrestrained and unrestrained. No one can convince the other, and naturally no one can understand the other.

So far, Ji Wuyan can probably understand such a mood, propped his head and looked at the two naive men who finally got tired of arguing and turned their heads away from each other, and smiled playfully, "So, today you use that black jade brave to lure the second master Come here, just to relieve the... lovesickness of these two awkward men?" Maybe this is wrong, maybe only Ning Xiuren is awkward from the beginning to the end, after all, it seems that the elder brother really can't stand that Ning Xiuren is not enough...beautiful.

Ning Xiuyuan nodded, but the smile on his face faded a little bit. He raised the teacup in his hand and said in a low voice, "I always thought that your Majesty's dragon body was just pretending to be sick. Maybe even His Majesty I feel the same way. It’s just that I reminded him two days ago that this disease… should be cured, and he was indeed cured. Who knows, the cough still occurs from time to time, and when it doesn’t occur, everything is fine , When I committed the crime, I coughed so hard that I almost coughed up all my internal organs..."

Ji Wuyan looked sideways, and the black pupils became more and more black under the night, with a little gleam, like a star shining in the high and deep place in the endless dark night.She pondered for a moment, imitating Ning Xiuyuan, covered the corners of her mouth with a teacup, and asked in a low voice, "So...you think something is wrong?"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Not to mention the big monster among the royal family." Ning Xiuyuan did not hide it, "If the sky changes in the palace, it will be small raindrops falling outside the palace, and it will be a violent storm. I am worried That... our affairs will inevitably be affected, so I want to hurry up. Brother Shangguan doesn't have a good impression of me, my second brother, and Ningguo Duke's mansion. I was afraid that he would be unhappy, so I sent my second brother Bring him here to let him vent his temper... Even if this anger can't be dissipated, but with Second Brother here, Brother Shangguan will not be so hostile to me."

After finishing speaking, he smiled softly and took a sip of tea with his head down.

Ji Wuyan's face turned hot.

Fortunately, it was night, otherwise everyone would have seen her blushing and shy look.She hid behind the teacup, lowered her eyebrows, and glanced at Ning Xiuyuan, who was calm and composed, and somewhat complained in her heart: How did this person keep talking about important family and country affairs without changing his face, and suddenly jumped into such a child-like relationship? long topic?
Really... Shameless.

Thinking like this, Shangguan Chu suddenly raised his voice, "Hey, what are you two doing? Hiding behind the teacup, what are you whispering that we can't listen to?"
