Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Maybe I believed it earlier.

It’s also possible that before you even meet the person, you just hear the comments and rumors from neighbors, and you already have some idea in your mind.

Unlike the Prince of the East Palace who always created a perfect image, this young man was a little his own way, a little unruly, and a little proud and indifferent in his bones. In fact, he was somewhat similar to that girl in this regard.Such people actually disdain to use those dirty thoughts that are not worthy of publicity.

But, even so, the old lady still didn't like the young man in front of her.

Ning Xiuyuan is excellent, with appearance, birth, status, power, everything.But because of this, he had too many fetters and made many enemies. As he said himself, he did not dare to neglect day and night, lest he be separated from others.

But people are not gods, there are always negligences.

"Master Ning..." She still called Ning Xiuyuan like this, and said after a moment of silence, "I understand your thoughts about my girl. It's just... Although my Ji family is not a wealthy family or a distinguished family, they live in the south of the Yangtze River. , is also a world of its own. From the perspective of a grandmother, my children are much better off in Yunzhou than in Yanjing City. They are always more comfortable without having to look at people’s faces or ask for greetings and salutes. What’s more... I believe others don’t know , but Master Ning must know her identity, and she has her responsibilities."

Without the insinuations that had come before, these words were very straightforward.

Ning Xiuyuan looked at the cup of tea in front of him, which was probably cold. He got up and gave the old lady some more tea. He sat down gracefully and behaved slowly, "I know this. The old lady doesn't have to worry. If she thinks Yunzhou is better, , I will accompany her in Yunzhou. If she feels that Yanjing is better, I will try my best to protect her... There are only a handful of people in Yanjing who can pay her respects, and they don’t see her on weekdays."

"You..." The old lady was stunned for a moment before she realized, "You mean..." She still couldn't believe it.

But the other party had broad eyes. Through the light mist, he nodded with a smile and responded calmly, "Yes. This junior has been to the top of power. Without her, he would just be walking alone in a lonely place on a cold night."

This time, the old lady was really surprised, and the breathing outside the screen became heavier - the grandma was also shocked.

Wealth, power, things that so many people are fighting for, how many people have studied hard for ten years just for the honor of returning home in fine clothes, but he is sitting in this inn, not paying attention, only saying that he is at the peak Gone, but lonely in the cold night.

Everyone knows that it is extremely cold at high places, but they still want to take a look at the small scenery of the mountains. After seeing it... I am immersed in it and can't extricate myself.

My little girl, unlike Xiao Yuan, can be stubborn when she's young. She seems easy to talk to on weekdays, but once she makes up her mind, even ten cows can't get her back.In fact, the old lady has always known that whether she likes Ning Xiuyuan or not, the outcome will not change much.It was this kind of knowledge that made her dislike Ning Xiuyuan even more - she always felt that her next heir would be deceived by a stinky man again. The city of Yanjing was high in the mountains and the rivers were far away. How could it be better to find someone from the south of the Yangtze River who knew the basics? There is also the shelter of the mother clan.

Yes, her favorites have always been ancient houses, but one of them didn't get the idea, while the other waited for her to get the idea, and was missed by others who came from behind.

pity.

But...after these words, Mrs. Ning looked at Ning Xiuyuan for the first time with a searching gaze. He sat upright with a decent smile on his face and let her look at him openly.That’s all.

The old lady closed her eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and sighed in her heart, "Let's see... I heard that there is a small town about half a day west of the city, and there is a very famous pastry shop in that town. The reputation has been passed down to us. I went to Jiangnan...Today, help me buy some, just white jade frost square cake and fish paste square cake."

Ning Xiuyuan felt relieved and was about to agree when he heard the old lady add, "Go and do it yourself."

Ning Xiuyuan was slightly startled. He originally thought that Mrs. Ji had been taken care of. After all, buying pastries would be the same thing as leaving it to Xi An.Who would have thought that the old lady would have such a request, so she thought about it for a moment and asked, "If this junior is going...can you allow me to stay for half a day? I think you also know about coming to Fengchenju..." After all, Ning Xiuyuan is The old lady I saw at the door of Fengchen Residence.

Unexpectedly, the old lady shook her head and emphasized calmly, "No. You go now...and go in person." She emphasized again.

It was just a few pieces of pastry, but Ning Xiuyuan had to go there in person, and he also designated a town where he could go back and forth in one day to buy it. Ning Xiuyuan was not a fool, and he understood the other party's intention instantly, "You mean... the matter of Fengchenju" , can the juniors not intervene, or is it inconvenient for me to intervene?"

Talking to smart people is both convenient and inconvenient.The old lady stroked her knees, which were resting on her thighs, and said with a smile, "There's no need to interfere."

Can't intervene, inconvenient to intervene, don't have to intervene, just one word difference, but the meaning is completely different.

Since it’s not “can’t”, it’s much easier to say.Ning Xiuyuan slightly raised his eyebrows and argued with reason, "She has an impatient temper and protects her shortcomings. Now that Chao Yun is in the hands of the prince, she is definitely not willing to give in. She is afraid that she will act recklessly... Let the junior come, and the prince will do it..." Bian always needs to be more cautious, and things will be easier to solve."

The old lady shook her head, and after a while, she raised her hand and waved, "Go ahead... Go back early and come back early."

This is, rejected.

Ning Xiuyuan sighed softly and stared at the untouched cup of tea in front of him for a moment. After all, he got up to say goodbye and hurried out of the city with Xi'an - he only hoped that Ji Wuyan would listen to him. It's better to act recklessly.

The window of the inn faced the street. Mrs. Ji stood on the second floor and watched Ning Xiuyuan running away while hurriedly giving instructions to Xi'an. She crossed her arms and smiled, then turned around to see the sighing grandma behind her. , knowingly, "Do you think... I shouldn't send him away?"

Mammy didn't nod or deny, she frowned and sighed again, "Girls love to show off, but now that something like this happens, she doesn't even have anyone to rely on, not even anyone to complain to. ...How hard it must be! If you want to experience her, you shouldn't be so heartless!" The little girl who is on the top of my heart frowns and makes people worry. She is alone in this foreign land, and she starts to feel sad just thinking about it.

The old lady shook her head helplessly, tapping her fingertips in the air, "You, you, you! She is spoiled by you!"

Mammy hummed, "The girl is fine, what's wrong? If my own grandmother doesn't pamper her, why don't she let us slaves protect her?"
