Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The laughter was so loud that everyone in the room turned their attention to Shangguan Chu.

Not very friendly.

Hey, they are all uncles and ancestors, but he is the only one who can be bullied... Shangguan Chu curled his neck and passed the tea cup in front of him, covering half of his face to "isolate" from the world.Everyone knows that the old lady is interested in an ancient house, but the falling flowers are intentional but the flowing water is ruthless. For this matter, the old lady sighed countless times.

"Speaking of this guy from the Gu family..." The old lady looked away, sighed, and took the teacup handed over by Grandma Wang. Her frowning look was somewhat similar to Ji Wuyan's. She frowned lightly. Laughing, with a bit of disdain and contempt, "Speaking of this ancient boy, he is really incomparable to ordinary people...excellent, restrained, and yet so low-key. Unlike some people..."

"I have only been in Yanjing City for a short time. In just a few days, I have heard a lot of those magical things. When I first heard it, I was a little surprised. But after hearing it too much, I felt that it was too high-profile. It's hard to avoid living up to the reputation..." After saying that, he raised his eyes and glanced lazily at Ji Wuyan, who was about to open his mouth, and then said, "One more thing, Mr. Ning... I'm going to take care of my child today. , I have something to ask Mr. Ning."

From the beginning to the end, she always addressed the other person as "Master Ning", which was official, polite, and unfamiliar, even though there was a lot of cynicism in her words.

Ji Wuyan called softly, "Grandma..." The slight frown on her brow hinted that enough was enough, but Mrs. Ji didn't look at her at all.Ji Wuyan raised his foot and kicked Shangguan Chu. Shangguan Chu looked over, pointed at the tea in his hand, and smiled playfully, "This tea is good."

This guy... Ji Wuyan choked, but the hand on his head just rubbed it gently. Ning Xiuyuan nodded with a smile, "If you ask, this junior will definitely know everything."

"Then I asked. If Mr. Ning finds it rude, he doesn't have to answer. After all, sometimes silence is also an answer." Mrs. Ji moved the tea in the cup, lowered her head and took a sip slowly. , then looked at Ning Xiuyuan, "Master Ning. The old lady heard some things about Master Ning in the teahouse before... um, past events. I heard that Master Ning had some childhood friendship with the little princess of the You family. , If my little girl hadn’t come to Yanjing City for a visit, I’m afraid the Ningyou family would have become Qin and Jin already?”

That's right... Ji Wuyan glared at his grandmother, and it was as if he was inserting a knife into her to win her love.

Mrs. Ji glared back with a warning look in her eyes: Shut up.

"Nothing."

Faced with such an "accusation", Ning Xiuyuan's face showed no signs of surprise or anger. He just looked at the furry head under his eyebrows and smiled softly, "There is no such thing as Princess You. The Ningyou family often moves around. Lingxi and I There is not even a hint of friendship between the princesses. Before I met Ning Ning, I never thought that I would have a woman by my side in this life. After meeting Ning Ning, I also never thought that I would have a woman by my side in this life. There are other women beside me."

The cold wind is biting, the rain is pouring, and the clouds are thick. The only sound is the slow burning of silver bone charcoal in the house.

Mrs. Ji looked at Ning Xiuyuan, the man who was wiping his hair with lowered eyebrows. It had to be said that he had a good skin. Even compared with A Chu, he did not lose at all. His movements of wiping his hair were gentle and patient. , holding a lock of hair like a rare treasure.He called the little girl "Ning Ning" with a smile, and he really liked her.

In fact, I have discovered this kind of liking a long time ago, right?

True love cannot be hidden, it will be revealed through words, eyes, and behavior.But, it's not enough... The little girl who placed it on the top of her heart always felt that she was short-changed, so she wanted to hold the best thing in the world in front of her.Mrs. Ji fiddled with the tea cup in her hand and said, "Achu, take your sister to the side room to rest. It's been a long day."

It was obvious that he had something to say to Ning Xiuyuan alone.Ji Wuyan didn't agree very much and called softly, "Grandma..." This old man didn't know why he had such a big problem with Ning Xiuyuan. He had not bothered with her about what he had ordered before and after running. She was making things difficult at every turn, and she didn't know what she was going to say after she left... She didn't want to leave.

"My hair is dry." Ning Xiuyuan put away the handkerchief, smoothed down his disheveled hair, and called Ziqiu, "Ziqiu, take care of the girl. It's windy. Remember to close the windows."

The old man and the young man all spoke. Ji Wuyan finally sighed softly, gave his grandmother a "take it easy" look, folded his clothes and walked out. After taking two steps, he turned around worriedly. He warned, "Grandma, Third Brother is also tired. Just say a few words and let him have a rest. After all, this White Jade Frost Square Cake... is quite far away." After that, he picked up the hem of his skirt and left.

The old lady choked, this damn girl... This is a reminder to herself that she has to settle accounts later.Also "Third Brother", oh... so sweet.

Tsk tsk, this young man is really good at it, Ning Ning... Third brother...

Tired and crooked.

Really crooked.

My tooth aches.

She sighed with emotion, but Ning Xiuyuan was already sitting where Ji Wuyan had just been, bowing respectfully, humbly and gracefully, "Old madam, please tell me something."

Mrs. Ning put away her teasing and looked at Ning Xiuyuan again.The young man sitting there quietly had a completely different aura than before. Although he was gentle and humble, there was no smile in his eyes, and he was even a bit more powerful and domineering.

It is an aura that is subconsciously developed by those who have been in power for a long time. Even if it is not intentional, it will be leaked out unintentionally.

As soon as the girl was present, he turned away from his domineering look and became just that man with black hair around his fingers, infinitely gentle.

"Since you call her Ning Ning, I don't have to hide some of your words." The old lady looked at the mist in the tea, and the mist dyed her eyes, making them deeper and longer.She said, "Whenever people in the world think of this young master of the Ji family, they think of endless wealth and a respectable status. It seems...this is a life that is envied by everyone when he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth."

"She was still so little at that time... crying in her infancy. When other children cried, their father and mother would coax her, but my girl... only had an old woman who didn't know how long she could stay with her to coax her. How is my mother? It's easy to come to Yunzhou, but you can only call her 'Madam' in front of people, and even call her mother secretly..." Mrs. Ji stared at the tea cup in her hand, her breath rising and falling, and her words were intermittent. Unsatisfactory.

The child's glory is in front of others, and the child's suffering is in the dark where no one can see it...there is nowhere to complain.

Therefore, she always felt short-changed.
