Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Before his front feet even touched the ground, You Feng's hurried voice came from behind, "Wait a minute, girl!"

Lifting his feet and slowly putting them down, Ji Wuyan half-turned around and looked back at You Feng who had already stood up. He was not surprised, but the smile on his face disappeared. He looked at the other party with a pair of dark eyes and said nothing - now, The initiative was firmly in her hands, and she didn't mind staying here for a while longer.

However, facing such eyes, You Feng seemed to have a light on his back. He smiled coquettishly and asked Ji Wuyan to take a seat, "Miss Ji, why don't you... sit down and talk in detail?"

Ji Wuyan did not sit down, but just stood there, maintaining a half-turned posture, and refused, "No need. It's just a matter of a few words, and it's the same as standing here and talking about it. But, just now I thought, Mr. You is an upright man. When talking to you, there is no need to go around many twists and turns, and there is no need to hesitate to speak, and there is no need to point out mulberry trees... But now it seems that I am young, fledgling, and naive."

The person who spoke was generous and generous, but the people who listened felt ashamed.

He has an honest and honest temper, but now he is being criticized by a little girl who is as old as his own daughter. Although his words just now were mostly probing, everything the other party said makes sense, and he feels ashamed. , had no explanation, only apologized, "I'm really sorry. I won't do it now."

But the little girl didn't seem to believe him. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Master You, have you thought clearly? It's not a good habit to be in a hurry..."

You Feng nodded and affirmed, "Of course it is clear. To put it bluntly, I still know how many pounds I have, and I am afraid that I am not qualified to be a minister of the dragon. Besides, if what the girl said at the beginning is true, This epidemic is really inseparable from the East Palace. Even if I lose this black gauze hat, I cannot join the East Palace. Miss Ji, although the hand stove is cold, but there is a charcoal fire burning in the room, it is not cold. It is worse. Sit down and talk in detail?”

Ji Wuyan finally sat back.

The other party was obviously more cooperative this time. He stood up and poured tea for Ji Wuyan, and handed his hands to her, "Warm your hands."

After Ji Wuyan took it, You Feng sat back down and asked with a smile, "The girl is right, since it is a business, both parties must benefit. I wonder what the girl wants from me?"

The temperature of the tea passed through the white porcelain cup to the palm of his hand. Ji Wuyan tensed up subconsciously before looking at You Feng, "Some answers and a record."

"Please speak, girl."

"Who was the person who went to invite Xu Siniang that day? Where did he live? Is he still on duty in Dali Temple now? And...the list of people who delivered meals to Li Yan in the last three days."

You Feng nodded and waited for a moment, but saw that Ji Wuyan only looked at him and stopped talking. This is……

Just so?

You Feng was slightly startled. These answers were actually not difficult to check. He was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask, "If the third master comes to ask these things, it is just a matter of words. Why is the girl so willing to stay close and seek distance?" He knows who is under his command, and the official level is overwhelming. , if Ning Xiuyuan sent someone to ask, they would not hide it at all, and they would not dare to hide it - besides, they did not know the twists and turns of the matter, and they would not want to hide anything at all, maybe On the contrary, he said everything he wanted to do to please him.

Ji Wuyan shook his head, "Since Li Yuqi has reached into Dali Temple, the third brother asked someone to question him, but he knew that the other person was not Li Yuqi's chess piece. There was no way to tell whether the answer he asked was true or false. In this case, it was It’s better to ask Mr. You directly. Besides, although my daughter is a merchant, she also knows that money is easy to clear but favors are hard to repay. It’s just a matter of a few words, so there is no need to waste the third brother’s favor.” You Feng noticed that Ji Wuyan has said "it's just a matter of a few words" several times. It seems to be an understatement, but she probably really thinks so.

If it was Lingxi... what would happen to her? You Feng couldn't tell. He always felt that he knew Lingxi, but what she did about the marriage this time was always a bit confusing. But he knew that Lingxi's approach should be different from Ji Wuyan's. of.

He could not help but compare the little girl in front of him with Lingxi, but he always felt that she didn't look like a "little girl". She was calm, calm, independent, and a little cunning, with an unruly fearlessness.

"Okay." You Feng nodded and stood up, "I'll go find someone to get the list of people on duty for those days first. As for other questions, how about I tell the girl when I come back?"

Ji Wuyan nodded, "Please."

You Feng came back not long after he left. During this period, Ji Wuyan did not get up or even put down the tea cup in his hand. He just sat quietly without looking around. It was not until You Feng stepped across the threshold that she He raised his eyes and said, "Excuse me."

You Feng had actually been standing outside for a while. He had a rough understanding of Ji Wuyan's behavior during his absence. He felt a little touched in his heart, but he didn't say anything and handed over a piece of paper in his hand, " This is a copy I just copied, the duty record for the five days before the incident. The girl can read it and keep it or destroy it."

Ji Wuyan nodded and thanked him. He opened the door and saw that a young man named "A Shou" had delivered meals in the last two days.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she heard that You Feng had already opened his mouth to explain her doubts, "Ah Shou was the one who went to invite Xu Siniang that day. The girl didn't mention it before, so I didn't think much about it. I only found out after asking my subordinates today that since then A few days later, Ah Shou took leave, saying that his mother was seriously ill at home and he went back to take care of her..."

The beautifully manicured nails slowly scratched across the name. Ji Wuyan stared at the two words for a long time before whispering, "Ah Shou, it's an auspicious name..." I'm afraid that this beautiful expectation is destined to be shattered.

She asked again, "Where does this man live?"

"Huaidefang, West City, I heard from my subordinates that it is a very dilapidated house. The girl went to Huaidefang and asked someone. She said that she could just ask the washer lady from Huaidefang."

"Laundry lady?" Ji Wuyan asked casually while responding.

"Well, Ah Shou's mother used to do laundry and support Ah Shou in the early years. Ah Shou was also a hard-working man. His father died long ago. His mother washed clothes one by one. But this boy didn't have any skills. After attending a private school for two years and failing to get into it, he stopped going. In these years, he was just a handyman in Dali Temple. He was dull, had few friends, and kept to himself. I met him a few times, but I talked to him a few times. In a word, it feels familiar, but that’s all.”

After finishing speaking, he sighed, "I really didn't expect that this kid turned out to be the prince's son. It's because I have been negligent in these years..."
