Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The old man rarely mentioned negative emotions. At least, Ji Wuyan had never heard the word "resentment" from her grandmother. At this moment, she said "blame him". Although the reason was because it caused trouble for herself, Ji Wuyan For no reason, Yan felt that his grandmother must have known about Shangguan Yuan, or at least... she must have guessed it.

The shadow of the tree shadow fell on her body. Ji Wuyan opened her mouth, but her throat felt dry and she couldn't make a sound. She stood there with chills all over her body, not even daring to meet the old man's eyes. She wanted to ask, but didn't dare to ask. Feeling uneasy, she finally just swallowed and said nothing.

But the other party was open and gentle, patted her arm, and licked her lips in the direction of his yard, "Come with me there. Your Aunt Wang is probably guarding the door of the yard. Seeing you accompany me, she won't talk about me. Wandering around in the middle of the night.”

"……it is good."

It was a short journey, and it was uneasy and depressing, and it was really hard to walk. The old lady didn't seem to be aware of it. She only turned her head to look at her and asked with concern, "Are you sleepy? Why don't you rest in my courtyard? The room where you took a nap last afternoon is where Grandma Wang spends her time every day. Everything has been cleaned and the bedding has just been dried.”

"Okay..." Yingyi was absent-minded, but suddenly came to his senses, and refused with a smile, "No. Ziqiu is still waiting for me to go back in the house. There is not much way to go, I am not sleepy, I am just thinking about something. I just lost my mind for a while."

The old lady didn't doubt that he was there, and didn't ask what she was thinking about. She just looked at Nanny Wang who was standing at the door and raised her finger with a smile, "Look, what am I talking about? This old lady is just worrying... I was just wandering around in my yard, how could I get lost? I told her differently, I just didn’t want her to follow me, so I just wanted to follow her during the day and it would be a nuisance to me. Now that I go out to admire the moon, I can’t be clean. .”

She was worried about being talked about, so she started talking about the other party first, which seemed to be like a bad person filing a complaint first.

It’s just that there are thick clouds in the sky tonight, and it looks like it’s going to rain. The moon is tightly covered most of the time. Watching the moon in this weather...

Aunt Wang glanced at her, but she didn't say anything after all. She just turned to look at Ji Wuyan and asked if she wanted to rest. Seeing Ji Wuyan's refusal, she urged Ji Wuyan to go back and have a rest. Ji Wuyan couldn't stand it. Kan turned around and was stopped by her again. While asking Ji Wuyan to wait, Grandma Wang turned towards the room where the servants were resting. Not long after, she pulled a sleepy little girl and walked quickly. The little girl even had to trot all the way to keep up. Grandma Wang’s footsteps.

After Grandma Wang took the maid and told her again and again, "I must personally send the girl back to the house," she continued to hold the door open and watched. She didn't sigh until she could no longer see Ji Wuyan's figure. He turned around angrily and muttered, "No wonder the old slave feels that the girl is getting thinner and thinner. How can such flesh be grown if she stays up late at night? Everyone says that this girl needs to be round and round to look good... No, no, no, The old slave must make up for the girl well..."

While mumbling, he reached out to untie the old lady's cloak. He just lowered his eyes absently and paused, "You... what are you..."

The old lady looked down and saw that there was a bit of bright red on the snow-colored fox fur on the cloak. It wasn't much, but it was very conspicuous on the pure white. The old lady was slightly startled, but Grandma Wang had already lowered her head and sniffed, and was shocked, "This is a blood stain! Where are you injured?" After stopping the other party's frantic inspection, the old lady continued to speak in a somewhat uninterested manner. She glanced at the blood stains and said, "It's not mine. Xiao Ning just helped me tidy up my clothes. It must have been stained at that time... She brought the fifth elder back today. Since it was an interrogation, there must be some punishment. , it’s normal to have some blood on your hands.” After saying that, he sighed slightly.

Grandma Wang felt a little relieved, nodded, and hung the cloak on her arm, thinking that she would wash it tomorrow. If it couldn't be washed off, the whole piece of fox fur would be variegated and she wouldn't be able to wear it. It was a pity. of. But then I thought about it, but I felt strange, "Girls like to be clean. If there is blood on your hands, you should wipe it off early in the morning. Even if you can't wipe it off, it should be dried blood... Why did you rub it on it? No... ...I have to go and find out. This fifth elder has not been easy to get along with before. Could it be that the girl was injured during the arrest?"

The old lady was relieved and got into bed. She yawned lazily and waved her hands to persuade her, "There is a top expert next to her, not to mention that boy Cen Yan. Even Qingshan is following tonight. The Fifth Elder No matter how difficult he is to get along with, he is just a person who doesn't know martial arts. Even if he wants to get close to your girl, it will be difficult, not to mention hurting your girl... Who taught that girl's martial arts? you do not know?"

"Well, that's indeed the reason..."

Grandma Wang held the cloak and nodded, then lowered her head and smelled the blood. The old lady was amused by her appearance, shook her head and looked at her sideways, "You think you have a dog's nose, and you can smell whose blood is on it." Are you wearing it? Or are you saying that your girl’s blood is fragrant?”

Of course you can't smell it.

There wasn't much blood, and it had dried up. Even the smell of blood was very faint. But... Grandma Wang squinted at the old lady and glared at her, accusing her, "How can you be a grandmother like you? The girl did such a dangerous thing and you turned a blind eye. Now this blood stain is the same, what if? There are so many random things in this world! Girls are capable, but a wise man will make mistakes after all his considerations. Isn’t that the truth? You really are not worried!"

On the bed, the old lady was about to lie down, but after hearing this, she stopped moving. She hugged the quilt and sat there blankly. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief. That breath was very long, as if he had finally slowly exhaled all the emotions that were stuck in his throat that he wanted to say tonight.

She looked at the shadow of the moonlight hitting the ground outside the window. The moonlight was dim, so the shadow was also shallow. She stared at it blankly and murmured softly, "If I wasn't worried, how could I have gone over and guarded her so much? I came back with her. She was breathing steadily, walking calmly, and her clothes were clean and tidy, but she had some injuries. Mr. Chen can't suffer much if he is here. But there are some injuries, and the injuries are here..."

She tapped her chest and looked at the stunned Grandma Wang, her voice choked with sobs, "Old man... I was standing under the tower just now, and I kept thinking... What kind of thing is my little girl facing? What about the truth... She is only a teenager and she grew up in a honeypot. Can she bear such a truth? So, I started to blame myself again, why should I raise her in a honeypot, otherwise If so, will she be stronger, strong enough to face these ups and downs... But then I thought about it, but I felt that when people live in the world, there will always be hardships to endure. Fortunately, at least for me She has never experienced any hardships around her... It’s better to eat less of this kind of bitterness, that’s right.”
