Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Ji Wuyan saw her so excited that she was almost crazy, and suddenly understood why the other party chose to escape.

The Ji family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are so many unknown secrets. Some of them disappear without anyone noticing... After all, the fifth elder really wants to leave, but he is probably not willing to just leave like this, she thought. She wants that person to be anxious, sad, and doubtful, and then spend the rest of his life looking for someone who may have been dead for many years. Or, she wants the other person to make a big fuss before her coffin is laid to rest. The coffin had to be opened...

In short, leaving was real, but she wanted to leave with a bang.

She wanted to regret the rest of her life for giving up her life, her wife and children were separated, and the people she wanted to dissolve the Presbyterian Church lost their face and prestige, but it was obvious...she was disappointed.

This night, the mood of the fifth elder was always changeable. Sometimes he gave up on himself, sometimes he was joking and sarcastic, sometimes he seemed to disdain the position of the elder of the Ji family, and sometimes he thought he was noble and looked down on ordinary people like you.

But the real moment when she lost control of her emotions was when she suddenly learned that that person didn't care about her life or death at all.

She didn't believe such an ending and murmured to herself over and over again, "Impossible, impossible... How could he not care about my life or death at all... He must not know... But he is so smart, how could he see Is there any strangeness and contradiction in it? Could it be that he was not in my family at that time..." She looked around like a madman who had completely lost her mind. While making excuses for the other party, she easily overturned something that even she herself did not want to believe. reason.

So crazy, yet so sober.

After all, he is just a poor man.

Ji Wuyan looked at her in such a crazy manner, his expression slightly silent, and he finally ordered Qingshan to bring another bowl of porridge.

After untying her hands and holding a bowl of hot porridge, the fifth elder who had humbly prayed for a bowl of porridge was not in a hurry to drink it now. She stared at it blankly, took a spoonful, sipped it slowly, and took a long time to swallow it. , then he smiled gently and murmured, "Girl, you can't guess how long it has been since I had a good meal of porridge... That madman will also bring me some food, but most of them It was all leftovers, the leftovers he ate... He took pleasure in torturing me. He said that people like me were only worthy of eating the leftovers he ate. He even stripped me of some clothes in a mass grave. Come down... He also likes to beat me. My body is full of old and new wounds... Do you want to see it, let me show it to you?" As he said that, he was going to pull his collar.

Ji Wuyan shook his head and said no.

She stopped and took another mouthful of porridge before continuing, "Yes, a girl like you must have been raised by a noble family. How have you ever seen people who are worse than ants?" . I was reckless, I shouldn’t have taken it out to scare you..." After saying that, he lowered his head and remained silent. He only took two or three sips of the bowl of hot porridge in his hand and stopped drinking.

But his belly is still screaming.

Ji Wuyan sat across from her and looked at her silently. His fingertips resting on his knees were tapping slowly, with unclear meaning in his eyes. After a long while, he asked, "Then... why did you come to Yanjing City, and how did you meet Lin Yi?"

The person on the other side looked unexpectedly and seemed puzzled, "Lin Yi? Lin Yi is... that madman? His name is Lin Yi?" She actually didn't know Lin Yi's last name.

Ji Wuyan nodded, "Well, that's him. Since you two don't know each other, why did he imprison you, treat you harshly, and beat and scold you? And why didn't you leave?"

The hands holding the porridge bowl tightened. The fingernails were long, pointed and flat, and there were jagged teeth that seemed to be chewed out. They were dirty and mixed with black and gray mud, and the fine lines on his hands were also covered with them. dirty. The fifth elder seemed to be a little nervous and tugged on his sleeves, lowered his head and bit his mouth and said, "I, before this, I have never left Ji's house, and I don't know the way even when I go out and drive around. , hungry and full, just arrived here in a daze... He probably saw that I was pitiful, so he gave me a few meals and asked me to follow him, saying that he could always ensure that I had no worries about food and clothing... I, I was naive and believed it.”

She just said she was naive.

Ji Wuyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly sat upright. He looked at the other party with pity and compassion, sighed softly, and then said after a long while, "You say you are naive... but do you think I am as naive as you?" ?”

Her voice was too gentle, and her eyes were too compassionate, so that the fifth elder did not realize the meaning of the other party's words in time... She was slightly stunned and asked, "What?"

Cen Yan laughed and explained, "What my girl means is that she... doesn't believe the nonsense you just said!"

The fifth elder's expression changed slightly, and the knuckles holding the porridge bowl turned white, but she still persisted, "I never talked nonsense, and I am now worse than an ant, so why bother to deceive the girl? After all, if you follow me Girl, I can still eat a whole meal, but my life is worse than before, isn't it?"

That makes sense.

Just as he spoke, his eyes evaded, avoiding Ji Wuyan's gaze.

Ji Wuyan slowly leaned forward, closing the distance between the two of them. She watched the other person's eyes dodge but tried to pretend to be calm. For a moment, she felt a little doubtful about the extent of the Presbyterian Council that her grandmother said had controlled the Ji family for so many years. What does it mean that it is difficult to live up to the reputation? In other words, the woman in front of me who was once regarded as the successor of the great elder has gradually become unable to support her through these years of struggle.

Ji Wuyan leaned back in her chair. She suddenly lost interest in playing riddles with the fifth elder. An old woman who was tortured, trampled on every day, and even forced to lose her dignity by hunger and cold, is no longer the fifth elder she used to be. In fact, the events of that year are already blurred to her. Ji Wuyan sighed softly and stopped looking at her, "Why did you lie to me... I believe you know it. You know what kind of person Lin Yi is, and I also know it. If you weren't useful to him, he would Why should he care about your life or death? If he is useful to you, no matter how naive you are, you will not rashly believe in a man with such an appearance."

The fifth elder lowered his head and remained silent. He gently shook the half bowl of porridge in his hand, and a little porridge came out. She seemed to suddenly come back to her senses, and argued with a forced smile, "I didn't expect that Young Master Ji would also judge people by their appearance, which surprised me. I thought that a girl from Ji's Yin Cult shouldn't be like this. …”

Weird and weird.
