Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

"No." Jifeng replied honestly, "Grandpa Chen said that children can't eat it because they won't grow taller. He asked me to pick it and give it to him..."

Come on, the kid was deceived.

The child who was deceived innocently deceived another fool - yes, that fool was himself. Cen Yan soon realized the truth.

He hesitated to recollect the sour feeling in his mouth, and he just said that he walked this road almost every day, and he never heard that this fruit could be eaten... If it could be eaten, it would be gone long ago. However, the child was still waiting for the answer expectantly, so Cen Yan nodded expressionlessly, like an emotionless echoing puppet, "Well, it's delicious... sweet."

The honest child looked at the small basket of fruits in his arms and swallowed, but he did not dare to eat any of them - growing taller was his obsession. Compared with his peers, he always looks smaller. Grandpa Chen also said that this is a congenital deficiency. Even if he takes the trouble to make up for it the day after tomorrow, it will always be more difficult than others.

Therefore, in these years, he would always try anything that "can grow taller", but Jifeng would not touch anything that "was said to not grow taller".

The child's eager look pleased Cen Yan, who was also drooling. He threw the fruit in his hand and waved it back casually, "Let's go!" With that, he strode out. As for this fruit The fruit... I'll give it to that boy Xi Yu to try when I get back.

Ji Wuyan had no idea that her arrangement had made her little entourage feel that her status was threatened. She simply felt that even Ning Xiuyuan didn't know about this matter. She didn't want these things about the Ji family to be spread from other people's mouths. To Ning Xiuyuan's ears, it seemed like he was hiding something from him.

……

Everyone in Dali Temple was confined inside and had nothing to do for a while. With the gloomy clouds hanging over their heads, even if they had errands to do, they were too distracted to think about it. They only stood in groups in twos and threes and stood in the sunlit corner, whispering. Some people suggested pushing a few rounds of Pai Gow, or cricket lovers took out crickets that were difficult to take out during duty hours, but soon everyone lost interest.

The word "epidemic" weighed heavily on me, and these deliberate relaxations could not last long.

Not long after, even the people who were talking in twos and threes disappeared.

You Feng walked to the window and looked at the suddenly cold courtyard. He didn't make a sound for a long time. On weekdays, I always feel that they are noisy, do things recklessly, and look like they don’t even have a hair on their head. But they...most of them are indeed still young. It is pitiful to be abandoned like this and ignored in the face of natural disasters. However, the future is uncertain, and I am helpless.

"Boom." A slight sound came from the corner, like a branch being broken by a cat.

There were a few wild cats in Dali Temple. The kitchen lady was kind-hearted and didn't want these little things to starve and freeze, so she always distributed some food and went out. As time went by, these little things settled down in Dali Temple, chasing them around. Not leaving. But they are also smart, and their activity range is basically around the dining room, and they rarely come here to hang out...

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a woman walking from the corridor to the side. She walked to the position facing the corridor. She looked up and said hello with a smile, "Master You, long time no see." As she chuckled, her eyebrows were gentle and soft. And neat and chic. Ji Wuyan. It turned out to be Ji Wuyan.

You Feng was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the girl who was wearing only a plain dress in this late autumn and looked extremely thin. Her expression was unexpected, and she was also a little unhappy about being disturbed. She said in a slightly sarcastic voice, "Now I am in Dali Temple." It’s not a place you can come to just when you want. Miss Ji really has great magical powers. She entered this courtyard quietly..." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that it was his first time in Muzi Medicine Shop. This was also the only time that the prince and the prince teamed up to deal with this little girl, but unexpectedly, they were destroyed by Ning Xiuyuan.

Now it seems that this girl Ji, who is so thinly dressed in late autumn and can see the guards arriving here quietly through the layers, is not a weak woman with no strength, right? Thinking like this, the eyes he looked at Ji Wuyan became more and more unfriendly. Just as he was about to make a cold remark, he saw another person walking out of the corner. As if there was no one around, he put the cloak in his arms on Ji Wuyan. , "Girl, it's cold."

You Feng swallowed the words when they reached his lips.

Xi Yu, this follower next to Ning Xiuyuan is no stranger to most people in Yanjing City... It is said that his martial arts is quite high, but to what extent no one has ever heard of it. If it were him, it wouldn't be difficult for him to show up in Dali Temple with a girl's family away from everyone's eyes and ears.

Therefore, the inference that seemed to be reasonable and well-founded just now suddenly became untenable. He looked down at the two people below with his hands behind his back and spoke concisely and straight to the point, "Nowadays, everyone is afraid of avoiding Dali Temple. Unexpectedly, a censor doctor came early in the morning. Unexpectedly, Miss Ji also came. Mr. Shen is here. It’s easy for me to understand, after all, Mrs. Shen is here too. But why is Miss Ji coming here...? "

Ji Wuyan also stood with his hands behind his back.

She was outside the corridor, and the other person was inside the house, separated by a not-so-long distance. Then she looked up at him with a moonlight look on her face and said, "I'm here to discuss a business with Mr. You."

"Business?" You Feng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." She responded, knowing that the old god was here, and she was not worried that others would find her standing here at this moment. The other party did not invite her in, and she was not in a hurry to enter. She just stood in the autumn wind, bathing with her upturned face. Sunshine, soft and white, harmless to humans and animals.

Harmless to humans and animals? You Feng secretly sneered. The fox with sharp teeth and sharp mouth was wearing a rabbit's skin. He looked soft and could be bullied. If anyone really went up to bully him, he would probably not be able to rest until he brought back a mouthful of flesh and blood. Talking about business with her? Could it be that he is seeking skin with the "fox"?
You Feng shook his head, "There is no friendship or business between me and the girl. It is not safe in Dali Temple now. It is better for the girl not to walk around casually. If someone sees me, I will be punished by Your Majesty for trivial matters." , it would be bad if the girl is also confined here."

With that said, he called Xi Yu again, "Guard Xi Yu, please take your girl out. Today, I am thinking of the third master's kindness and just pretend that you two have never been here."

Xi Yu did not move, still standing half a step behind Ji Wuyan with lowered eyebrows, eyes, nose and heart - all in the attitude of a girl who is looking ahead.

Ji Wuyan was sizing up You Feng from beginning to end. You Feng was highly suspicious of what happened in Dali Temple. After all, he personally asked Xu Siniang to conduct an autopsy in person. If he was not involved in this chess game at all, Ji Wuyan I don't believe it no matter what. However, Mr. You, who used to be on good terms with Ning Xiuyuan, was famous for his uprightness... Ji Wuyan felt that he was using the safety of the entire Yanjing City, and even the entire people of the world, to set up a trap. possible.
