Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 503 Face and favor

There was a sarcastic and wry smile in his heart, but his face was gentle and dignified, responding to everything.

The Eldest Princess gave a few more instructions, most of which sounded reasonable, but seemed strange and indifferent given the status of mother and daughter. After saying these, the Eldest Princess slowly got up and gathered her dress.

This is what she does every time she leaves.

Her every move seems to have been measured one by one in a mold, and there will be no deviation in the slightest.Except...the last time when I suddenly heard the imperial decree of marriage, I rushed to the palace to ask for an explanation before I even had time to change my clothes.

At that time... I was really moved.You Lingxi stood up, "Mother, my daughter will see you off."

"It's raining too much, please stay."

"Send you to the door."

So speechless, the two walked to the door one after the other, and the maid who was waiting under the steps stepped forward to hold an umbrella and turned on the light, "Princess, are you back?"

"Yes." She replied in a low voice, and said to You Lingxi sideways, "There is no need to send it off."

You Lingxi looked at her mother who was still walking at a leisurely pace even in such bad weather, hesitated, and called, "Mother."

The other party looked back.

Under the slightly raised oiled paper umbrella, neither the eyes nor the expression of the other party showed the slightest impatience for standing in the heavy rain, but just looked over with gentle eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Mother..." Behind her mother who couldn't see her, You Lingxi tightly held the position of the tiger's mouth, and cautiously tried in a trembling voice, "Mother, it's a long way to go to Jiangnan, if, if..."

After all, it's a girl's house, and things like escaping marriage are always difficult to talk about. Those methods that have been thought about for a long time and lingered for a long time come to the mouth and they can't say anything.

The eldest princess understood, and there was a rare expression of displeasure on her face. The displeasure was very faint, as if she was just facing an ignorant child who was crying and begging for candy, her brows furrowed slightly, " What nonsense are you talking about? Those words just now... are all mother's wasted words?"

After finishing speaking, he said, "How many times have I told you that you must always remember your identity. In the past, letting you run after the third son of the Ning family was the greatest indulgence to you, and my mother also felt at that time, The youngest son of the Ning family, the proud son of heaven, is indeed a good match for you. But you should understand that today is not what it used to be... If you are like before, you will lose your dignity. The princess of a country will lose his dignity. Not only your own face, the You family's face, but also the entire royal family's face, do you understand?"

The voice that was not picked up sounded helpless and conniving.

But You Lingxi knew that this was considered "sharp words" to her mother.

Rarely speak harshly.

Face, face, always face.

At that time, she was angry about this marriage, not because she really felt sorry for her daughter, but because she felt that the marriage between the princess of a country and the Chen family was regarded as a marriage...it was embarrassing.

Face is really... more important than anything else.

You Lingxi thought so, and slowly dropped her hand behind her back to her side, lowered her head and pulled the corners of her mouth, "Yes... my daughter understands." This was her last hope, and it was finally shattered.

Lowering her eyes and bowing her head, she said slowly and respectfully, "Mom, go slowly."

The eldest princess nodded slowly, and looked at You Lingxi lightly, then withdrew her gaze, turned around and walked out slowly... The rain wet her skirt, she didn't mind, she still walked leisurely , didn't even move to lift the hem of the skirt.

You Lingxi watched her leave, and the sharp-eyed maid waiting outside the door saw the pale white fingertips on her side stained with blood, and was startled, "Princess! Your hand..."

Only then did he feel a slight pain in his palm, and when he raised his hand to look, there were four clear nail marks. Perhaps the skin was pinched with too much force, and the blood stained along the lines, which looked shocking.

"Why is the princess so careless? If the eldest princess knows about it, wouldn't she feel distressed? I'll go and get you a medicine box to bandage up!" As she spoke, she hurriedly turned and walked inside, talking to herself, "Shu Hen Ointment... yes, Shuhen ointment, I still have it, I still have it, I will get it now!"

Tuliu You Lingxi, standing in the corridor, watching the rain pouring down in the courtyard, twitched the corners of his mouth feebly...Does it hurt?

The honor of the princess and the body of a daughter, she knew since she was a child that she was the most noble and unique girl in Dongyao. Coupled with the love and affection of her parents, she wanted the stars and the moon more and more, and there was nothing in the family... Gradually after growing up Only then did she realize that this is called petting, not love.

Petting is different from love, petting is conditional.

It's like petting a coquettish cat or a talking bird, they can give this kind of favor, and they can also take it back... And she is a bird pampered by the royal family, a bird. The cat, a mascot.

This kind of situation should make people cautiously walk on thin ice, but at that time, I... didn't know it.

She was held to the commanding heights by the stars and the moon, and she forgot that the steps under her feet were like floating clouds that might dissipate at any time... Now, they dissipated.

In the twilight, she looked down at the dried blood on her palm, bit the corner of her mouth, and remained silent...

……

Doctor Chen's ankle fell more seriously than he thought. He thought he would be able to go to the field the next day for the appointment, but he didn't expect to recover until the morning of the third day, but he was worried that Chen Yinuo felt that his side Intentionally breaking the contract, he had to be carried to the post house with a rattan chair.

Then the two went to Ji's house together and truthfully explained their intentions.

Only then did Ji Wuyan understand Li Yuqi's motive for killing her suddenly...

"I'm really sorry, Miss Ji." Chen Yinuo didn't sit down from the beginning to the end. Now that he finished speaking, he bowed seriously, "I don't know... is Mr. Chu here? I want to apologize to him in person. This matter No matter what, I was the one who disclosed the information about Mr. Chu without his consent."

Apologize in person?I'm afraid I have to fight...

Ji Wuyan refused with some embarrassment, "It's okay. Elder brother is not incognito in Yanjing City, and secondly, he is disguised. It is only a matter of time before he is recognized...you don't have to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled inexplicably. This Mr. Chen Yinuo, Mr. Chen, was really upright until he had no city in his heart. He had just suffered such a fall, and when he explained the cause and effect, he did not evade and confess.

Things like Lian's brother's slander against the wall were not hidden from outsiders like her at all, and perhaps because of the guilt in his heart, he became more and more knowledgeable and endless in an attempt to "make meritorious deeds".

Chen Yinuo was hesitant to say something and insisted on insisting, but Ji Wuyan called "Prince Chen" to change the subject, "Physician Chen injured his ankle and went all this way, I'm really sorry... I heard the third master say it before. Considering that your Majesty's dragon body has not healed, Imperial Physician Chen has been too busy these days, right?"
