Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 507 Ruby and Coral Bead

Ningguo Duke's Mansion has a high position and authority, and it seems that he has been a pure minister these years, only obeying His Majesty's orders and balancing the power of Zuo Xiangfu.The three sons of the Ning family are all amazingly talented, and they support the entire Ningguo government like a tripod, but when it comes to actions, they don't have the slightest ambition, and they even seem to be a little "idle".

So much so that in these years, the government of Ningguo was clearly sitting in the center of power, but it seemed to be on the edge of power. Even Ji Wuyan didn't understand what Ning Xiuyuan was going to do at the beginning.

He seems to be idle and doing whatever he wants. Today he gets involved with the Ye family's marriage, and tomorrow he will have tea with You Feng. Except for Zuo Xiangfu, he seems to have some kind of friendship with everyone.

Ji Wuyan didn't understand at first, but then she vaguely guessed that Ning Xiuyuan was like the biggest fish in this muddy water, responsible for the compromise of all parties, no one would be suppressed, no one would be suppressed other people.

This is the result the emperor wants, and the same...it is also the result Ning Xiuyuan wants.

The so-called clear plank road and dark Chen Cang, on this journey, I am afraid that no one is as good as Ning Xiuyuan.

Ji Wuyan lowered her eyebrows and chuckled, and asked straightforwardly, "So... this time, did the third master of the Ning family choose the county king?"

"Huh?" Ning Xiuyuan squinted his eyes more and more as he watched the dazzling sun outside the window, and smiled softly, "There is no need for Ningguo Palace to get involved in the royal family's seizure of the heir. Whoever sits in the world so far? Nothing can damage our glory..."

These words are really high-sounding.

Ji Wuyan shook his head and laughed, "You locked yourself in the room and thought about these issues, which really scared Xi Yu a lot, and you talked to me a lot more politely, saluting and begging for a while, like a new core, I have to suspect that it was Xi An pretending..."

"What did he scare? Didn't he just yell at a boy?" Ning Xiuyuan grabbed his hand on his temple, and pulled him to sit beside him. Daosi, I only swear a few words after listening to the annoyance."

In his own house, he probably hadn't left the courtyard today. Ning Xiuyuan was wearing a loose white uniform, with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, revealing a well-proportioned arm, with empty wrists.

"It's not because..." She reached out and tapped Ning Xiuyuan's wrist with her fingertips, and asked, "Isn't it because there is a missing bracelet here, and you are in a bad mood?"

Ning Xiuyuan looked at it in astonishment, and shook his head abruptly, "It's okay, just throw it away, when you were young and vigorous, you couldn't control your heart, but now it's different... Naturally, you don't need it anymore."

After wearing it for so many years, many times it is not an objective need, but a psychological dependence, just like some habitual small movements.

Ji Wuyan understood, and felt more and more that Ning Xiuyuan's words were meant for himself.She pursed her lips, and replied pretending to be disappointed, "Really... It's hard for me to work so hard to find those coral beads for you..."

Ning Xiuyuan was startled, "What, what?"

Ji Wuyan played with the small box in his palm, and said aggrievedly, "In Muzi's medicine shop, I saw that coral bead that was broken into powder. I thought it was very important to you, I searched around the Muzi Pharmacy before and after, and finally got together the seventeen coral beads scattered all over the place..."

"One was missing, so I found another ruby ​​and carved it into a coral bead, and then I restored a coral bead bracelet. I thought that you would be pleasantly surprised when you saw it, but I didn't expect... I was wrong, this bracelet is not that important to you..."

Before the words fell, the hand was held.

Ning Xiuyuan looked at it over and over again, and only saw a very small scar on the tiger's mouth. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Silly girl... what should I do if I hurt my hand?"

The girl who was wronged and put on a show just now showed all her cunning with a smile, and raised her eyebrows and eyes slightly at him like offering a treasure, "Aren't you going to open it and have a look?"

The ebony box, the same color flannelette as the shop inside the box, the string of coral beads on the lining is more and more bright red like weeping blood, and the ruby ​​in the middle is shining brightly in the warm autumn sun.

Burning eyes.

Ironing people.

Ning Xiuyuan caressed the ruby ​​carefully, covering all the emotions in his eyes with drooping eyebrows.

To be honest, although I know intellectually that this string of coral beads doesn't mean much to me anymore, it is undeniable that I have become more or less dependent on him. Every time I stroke my empty wrist subconsciously, I am not used to it, so that the two When I think about things every day, I always miss the point.

Inevitably some uneasy.

So these two days have always been a little sleepy.

Even so, Ning Xiuyuan still didn't go back to Muzi Pharmacy to look for those coral beads or another bracelet. For him, some habits are formed and he will not deliberately correct them, but if they are lost suddenly, It's only a few days, and I'm used to it.

But it never occurred to her that this little girl would go to Muzi Pharmacy to get those coral beads back. When she thought of the little girl doing these things for herself... her heart softened.

He has always followed his heart and never deliberately forced himself. There is only one thing in this life, which is half involuntary and involuntary. It is more dependent and nostalgic than any coral bead string, and that is the smiling girl in front of him.

Bone-biting and heart-wrenching can't let go.

He stood up halfway, held her hand, and looked at her empty wrist, where the Ning family's handed down bracelet that should have been given to her by her mother was now empty, probably put away.He put the coral string in his hand on the opponent's wrist, the blood color was as bright as red, and the wrist became whiter than snow against the ground, with a kind of bewitching beauty.

"It's so beautiful." He said, gently caressing the ruby ​​with his fingertips, the round ruby ​​was warm and cool in his hands, just like the feeling of this girl, just the right temperature.He took her hand, looked at her and said slowly, "Seventeen coral beads are not as valuable as this ruby. Because of you, it has a different meaning to you... The most precious thing, Give it to my most precious person."

Ji Wuyan frowned, "I gave you something, but you returned it to me... What's the reason?"

"I want to send you off." He said, and slowly raised his hand to caress her eyebrows and eyes. He knew what kind of charming face was hidden under this delicate-looking human skin mask. He looked into her eyes with gentle tenderness. With a chuckle, "All the good things in the world... want to give you."

He half-lyed on the soft couch, looked up at the woman in front of him, his eyes were so gentle that he could drown in water.

Outside the window, someone was suffocating for breath.
