Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

But this time when she was sitting in the courtyard of the study, she felt something was different.

Everyone in the city knew that Master Shen, the imperial censor, doted on his concubines and killed his wives. Everyone in the backyard respected him as "ma'am". In addition, Shen Lewei had always been careless and arrogant in his external actions, which further confirmed these remarks.But the way "Mrs. Jiang" was cautiously carrying a food box outside the yard didn't look like she was cheating at all.

In my memory, when I was a child, I used my identity as a child to make unreasonable troubles. At that time, Aunt Jiang would complain to her father, frowning slightly with a delicate look. I really felt pity for the sick and weak Xizi.After leaving the Shen family, there was no intersection... I didn't expect that when they met again, they would change so much.

Without the mistress's backyard, this aunt became more and more... cautious.

"I just felt a little weird at the time, thinking that maybe the two elders were still angry at their old age." Shen Luoxin said, shrugging with a somewhat fake smile, "But... until now... , I finally understand. Although I don’t know why he behaves like this over the years, and I don’t know how much of it is true and how much of it is false... It’s just that without salt, what I want to say is that as long as there is a little bit of truth in it, that feeling I have to repay...the grace of giving birth, and this may just be a temporary pity."

She looked at Ji Wuyan with calm and serious eyes, and there was no starlight in her dark pupils.Her expression was serious, as if she was making a promise to herself, and as if she was expressing her feelings to Ji Wuyan, she said, "Wuyan. You and I both suspect that Dong Palace is going to the Shen family... He entrusted me to you because he wanted to You have to take me out of it. If I didn't know anything, I would have walked freely and fearlessly, but now... now that I know it, I can't walk."

At this point, Ji Wuyan finally understood what Shen Luoxin was trying to say. She opened her eyes slightly, then bent down, pursed her lips, shook her head and laughed, "Idiot... you want to say, I have to live up to your father's trust. You want to say that you have to ensure that the Shen family is safe before you can leave here and go to Jiangnan to run the weaving workshop for me, right?"

"Um……"

"You are really stupid. Still stupid." Ji Wuyan shook his head again, picked up the cat that ran toward her, put it on his lap and stroked it gently, "That's your father, he treats you with sincerity... Now you treat you with the sincerity It’s nice to give back sincerely and there’s no need to feel sorry for me.”

Shen Luoxin looked at her blankly, confused, embarrassed, and a little unexplainably embarrassed. After a while, he licked the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm sorry... I hid so much from you before..."

The secret was suddenly revealed. The two of them were sitting face to face. The other didn't seem to care at all, but he always felt like he owed something. For a moment, he was too embarrassed to even look at each other. Gu Zuoley was looking for other topics. , "I haven't had time to go to Mr. Chen in the past two days to see how his leg is doing?"

Ji Wuyan nodded, "Much better. Dr. Chen also said that he is recovering well... If not, why don't you go and see him now? He was talking about you to me just yesterday."

The ladder was handed over calmly, and the other party took it obediently, nodded and said, "Then I'll go over and have a look first." After that, he stood up and left.

Ji Wuyan sat there and watched her look like her left foot was stepping on her right foot. He looked away and touched the cat on his lap, which was about to fall asleep. He smiled softly and playfully... Yesterday, Mr. Chen came over and he was indeed talking about it. When I talked about Shen Luoxin, I didn't blame Shen Luoxin for not visiting him. Instead, I used Miss Shen who visited him every day and went to him to ask about the situation no matter how late she came back as a positive example and blamed her. Ji Wuyan, who "didn't take his old man into consideration at all" these days...

This eldest girl of the Shen family obviously has the experience of two lives, but when she is simple, she can't hide her thoughts. It is rare to find an excuse to escape, but she also found such a poor excuse.

Ji Wuyan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Hey...isn't this silly look similar to your previous master?"

The cat licked its paws and called to her softly and innocently, "Meow..." "You think so too?"

"Meow……"

……

You Lingxi returned to his house, and after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong in the Shen family's back garden today.

She stood far away, so she didn't see what the hairpin looked like with her own eyes, but from her angle, she could just see the whole process of Ji Wuyan squatting down and telling the child to rush over and knock off the hairpin.Afterwards, she also asked about the appearance of the hairpin, and Miss Chen from the military department also said that it was just an iris hairpin, not a unique treasure...

It seems quite ordinary - this is what another girl with an unknown name said. On this point, many people agree and agree with it. It can be seen that this statement must be correct.

In You Lingxi's perception, Ji Wuyan was not a troublemaker. Even though he had targeted her a lot before, he never saw her truly holding a grudge. At this point, even You Lingxi had to admit that he was not as good as Ji Wuyan. .Therefore, Ji Wuyan could not deliberately destroy the hairpin because he was dissatisfied with Shen Lewei or Miss Chen... In this case, it could only be the hairpin's problem.

The hairpin was given by the East Palace. It seems... it would be better to go to the East Palace and ask.

Thinking of this, she didn't even bother with dinner. She hurriedly put on a cloak and got into the carriage to go to the East Palace.

Li Yuqi was in the East Palace, preparing for dinner. When he heard that You Lingxi was coming, he frowned slightly and asked someone to come in. He also ordered the kitchen to cook two more side dishes.

Speaking of the hairpin, Li Yuqi was also confused.The jewelry sent to the Shen family was indeed prepared by the steward of the East Palace. Li Yuqi looked down on Shen Lewei, a woman with too obvious ambitions and no self-awareness. Naturally, it was impossible for him to bother to prepare any gifts himself, so he found her. Steward.

There are a lot of gifts sent these days. Although I just picked a few random things from the warehouse that looked eye-catching but were not very valuable, but each one was recorded in the book. The manager searched around and found out very quickly. I found it soon, and after comparing it with the warehouse records, my face turned pale and my figure swayed!
Li Yuqi's voice became a little darker, "What's going on?"

The steward hesitated, "Go back to the palace, your highness, you do have such a hairpin... just..."

Li Yuqi's patience was increasingly worn away by such hesitation, "Just what?"

"It's just...it's just that I didn't look at the warehouse records when I gave the gift before. This hairpin, this hairpin..." After saying that, he knelt down with a pop, "This hairpin is a relic of the Crown Princess!"
