Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

"Weak scholar" Shangguan Chu felt that Ning Xiuyuan was a weak scholar.

Ji Wuyan lowered his eyes and snickered. It was not unusual for Xiao Xiao to break into Ji's house at night, and it was not too unusual for him to be bumped into by his brother who always went to bed early. However, after his brother finished cooking, Xiao Xiao unexpectedly wanted to ask Qingshan to come and see Ning Xiuyuan out. , By the way, it saves other people’s face... This is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.

If Ji Wuyan still couldn't guess what his brother's intentions were at this time, then it would have been in vain for Ji Wuyan to have been brother and sister with him for more than ten years, right?

My brother has done these things a lot over the years. Anyone who asked him about "the young master of the Ji family" or "the girl from the branch of the Ji family" would either be kicked out directly, or they would be kicked out after making a fortune. . Compared with the simple, direct and rough styles before, this method alone is rare and gentle. So Ji Wuyan was really frightened when he first heard about the "defensive formation" that the gods were talking about. Just then I thought about it, my brother is not crazy about martial arts or getting lost in formations in this life. Apart from making money, how can he understand any big formations?

I think Qingshan told him that Ning Xiuyuan was with her after he returned from here, and he felt unhappy, so he came up with such a bad idea... She pursed her lips and snickered, "Brother keeps saying to you I'm not happy, but I'm going to show mercy." It's really outrageous to come up with some kind of grand formation...

"It's... it's difficult for him." Naturally, Ning Xiuyuan also knew the little Jiujiu in the other person's heart. After all, the other person was his future uncle, so he still had to give him some face. What's more, if my uncle is unhappy, although it won't hinder anything big, I am afraid that a small trouble like this today will be inevitable... Thinking like this, he stood up with a smile, dusted the hem of his clothes, and opened the door with a gentle smile. While thinking, "It's true. I'm a weak scholar, and I'm usually most afraid of those things that kill people. Brother Shangguan is so considerate."

As he said that, he nodded slightly to Qingshan, who was standing on the porch outside the door holding an oil-paper umbrella to catch the rain, and said with a smile, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you. It's getting late now, and it's inconvenient for Ning to disturb Brother Shangguan, please. Bring Ning to express my gratitude." He was polite, yet unfamiliar, and his attitude was impeccable.

Qingshan nodded silently, turned sideways, and opened the oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

Xi Yu, who was huddled under a tree to take shelter from the rain, was already dumbfounded - before Third Master came out, he thought the biggest joke he had ever heard in his life was that Third Master Ning was a weak scholar. After Third Master came out, he realized that the biggest joke he had ever heard in his life was that Third Master Ning personally admitted that he was a weak scholar.

Qingshan was also ashamed. Although he didn't know whether the third master of the Ning family had martial arts or what his skills were, it was obvious that "the third master of the Ning family would be frightened by a little thief and lose his composure in front of the girl he loves." It wasn't funny, so much so that when he received this order, he really couldn't express it - it was so offensive, who would be happy with it?

Don't mention others, just talk about your own master. If someone said this in front of Shangguan Chu, they would probably be thrown out as a lunatic. Although, Shangguan Chu didn't have any beloved girl at all.

Fortunately, fortunately, the third master is generous and willing to cooperate. Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, took half a step back, and then said, "Third Master, please."

Ning Xiuyuan nodded, turned to say goodbye to Ji Wuyan who was at the door, "It's cold outside, don't stand around, go back to the house and rest early. And the wound on your hand, even though you've applied medicine, you can't take it lightly. Don't get wet these two days, and try not to use too much force, Ziqiu will be left behind to do anything."

Nagging, like a worried old grandma.

Ji Wuyan nodded, stood there obediently and waved goodbye. When Ning Xiuyuan turned to leave, he shook his head helplessly. The little girl should be treated well every time. She would do whatever she was supposed to do every time, and she would not listen to any advice. I heard that Mr. Shangguan was very conservative, and his son also followed the rules. Mrs. Shangguan was very gentle, but I don’t know who she was like... with this temperament.

……

Haishi has passed, the patter of rain has become heavier at some point, and the wind is howling, which seems to indicate that there will be a significant cooling tomorrow. When Ning Xiuyuan returned to Duke Ning's Mansion, he met his subordinates who were waiting there anxiously. Before he could ask, the other party hurriedly greeted him with a chill soaked by the rain, "Master! Dali Temple Something happened over there...!"

The raindrops hit the oil-paper umbrella, making a messy crackling sound. The wind also whimpered and shuttled, and the oil-paper umbrella was pulled back and forth. Xi Yu secretly bit her cheek to keep the handle of the umbrella in her hand motionless to prove her great arm strength. , but it is not easy. Seeing that he was about to be freed, who would have thought that such a person would jump out of the way, and he was already cursing in his heart, but when he heard the other person's words, he looked at Ning Xiuyuan for a moment, his mind tightened, but his hand was loosened, and the oil paper umbrella was covered with The wind shook it and took it off.

Raindrops poured down on my head.

Ning Xiuyuan's expressionless face was full of coldness.

……

Mrs. Ji stayed in the tower for a long time, and occasionally some voices came from inside. The voices were low and vague. Grandma Wang stood outside the door and didn't even hear a single word. During this period, she was a little worried and shouted twice, " "Old Madam", the other party responded in a low voice, saying nothing happened, then Grandma Wang stepped back two steps to guard the door, and at the same time pulled the guard out and retreated.

By the time the old lady came out, it was already approaching midnight.

When the old lady came out, she looked very tired. She hunched her back and sighed silently, as if she had suffered a huge blow. Grandma Wang was startled, and she hurriedly came up to her, looked her up and down, and asked nervously, "W-what's going on?"

The old lady waved her hands silently, like an eggplant beaten by frost, shuffled a few steps, and then said softly, "I'm just too old to stay up this night. It's rare to go to bed late for a while. I'm so tired." Panic..."

Grandma Wang did not doubt that he was there, nodded in agreement, and couldn't help complaining, "That's right, it's almost time, and you should have gone to bed long ago. You said you, even if you want to reminisce about the past, you can't Don't worry about it at this moment... I have found both of you, when can I not see you? I have to come to see you in the middle of the night... It's not worth it to be exhausted. If the girl hears this, she will worry about you again. "

The old lady seemed to be in very bad spirits, and after a while she warned her, "Don't tell her... I don't want her to change her decision because of me."

Grandma Wang responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay... I don't want to say it, it's getting late. Let's go back and rest soon. Tomorrow you will get up later and sleep more. I will prepare breakfast later." ,how?"

"Okay." The old lady responded and told the guards behind her, "It's late at night and it's raining heavily again. Don't stay outside the door. It's always better to stay indoors where there's no wind or rain. You can also rest. ." With that said, he and Grandma Wang helped each other and walked into the courtyard.
