Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 834 Letter from Jiangnan
Obviously...it didn't exist before.

Ji Wuyan's raised hand slowly fell down, gently covering the top of the other person's hair that was meticulously taken care of, and he felt mixed feelings. She sniffed and called softly, "Brother...I, I...am I bad?"

There was an obvious choking tone in his voice.

Shangguan Chu panicked immediately. He was just joking at first, but he didn't expect the little girl to be so "sensational" all of a sudden. He quickly shrank his head and hurriedly coaxed, "Hey, hey... what's wrong? I'm just talking, why do I mean it?" ? Our little girl is so good and powerful, who dares to say she is bad? "

The little girl pursed her lips and looked at Shangguan Chu's head, "But... there was no one with white hair before..."

Shangguan Chu touched her head and explained with a smile, "I was just a little busy a while ago and didn't have time to sleep. Now, there are just a few gray hairs. I thought about pulling them out, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. , you are not young anymore, it’s normal to have a few. It makes you nervous.”

Ji Wuyan looked at him sideways, with a complicated expression but said nothing.

She and Shangguan Chu were so familiar with each other. They were siblings who grew up together. They were so familiar that they thought they could tell which side of each other's eyebrows were higher even with their eyes closed. Therefore, they seldom carefully observed whether the corners of each other's eyes were too thick. A few fine lines, whether there are a few gray hairs in the hair - the changes brought by the years are embedded in every detail without any awareness. Each other only feels that the other is still the same as before, and will always be the same. .

But when he suddenly looked up, he realized that his hair had grown.

Naturally, I have mixed feelings.

She held the teacup in both hands, digging at the side of the cup unconsciously with her fingertips, and murmured, "Grandma doesn't like Yanjing City. She came all the way here just for me. Old Chen's legs are not suitable for spending the winter here. I looked at him last night." His walking was a bit twisted, and when Jifeng climbed up his leg, he held Jifeng on his other leg. He thought he had not fully recovered, and the cold winter here was not conducive to recovery. Everyone stayed here for me and stayed with me. I'm worried about this, and now that I've encountered this disease, I, I... I think I'm really bad at it."

I was hit on the head, very lightly.

After all, Shangguan Chu couldn't bear to hit her too hard, so he rubbed it again. The little girl was different from him. She always refused to comb her hair properly. She held it gently with a hairpin, which felt soft and comfortable. He smiled lazily and said, "Grandma is here to see my grandson-in-law. Although she is reluctant to let you go so far, she is still very satisfied with this grandson-in-law. Besides, old friends who haven't seen each other for many years are here. It's not nice to say that at their age. Yes, we have only seen each other once and rarely. I don’t know if we will see each other again after I go back this time. It is no regrets to see each other more this time, not to mention Mr. Chen. His knot is resolved here. After opening it, I also gained a cheap apprentice who came halfway. I heard that he has already decided on a successor for those things that are difficult to teach to Shen Luoxin..."

"You see, they are not just wasting their time here just for you. What's more, you don't know what kind of temper your grandmother is? She has always been at odds with her grandfather. In her eyes, this matter is a family matter of the Shangguan family. Even if she has her grandfather kidnapped, I would never go to Shangguan's house to bring it to you. After all, she has her own considerations." Shangguan Chu patted the dumbfounded little girl and said, "I'll give that back to you, you. , Just care will lead to chaos." She still lowered her eyebrows and dug into the teacup in her hand, and obediently let the other party touch her head, like a cat lying in the sun with a worry.

"Girl." Qingshan came in from outside. He was a little surprised when he saw Shangguan Chu, and said, "Master... there is a letter from Tanzhou, for the girl."

Tanzhou? That was written by his father or mother. Shangguan Chu waved his hand and motioned Qingshan to write it directly to Ji Wuyan. He turned around and asked, "Did you write the letter back?"

Ji Wuyan accepted the letter, which was written by her father. She nodded while opening it, "The Chen family is too ambitious. After clinging to the royal family, they also want to go to the Gu family to get involved. If it's something else, that's fine. It's just a marriage. . It’s just a marriage, but it’s the ancient house... I asked my father to make some stumbling blocks first, lest they think that the ancient house is easy to talk about and can be crushed by them. "

Gucuo is easy to talk to?

Shangguan Chu felt as if he had heard a joke... He could clean up a mess like the Gu family's with a sharp knife. He would accompany the little princess to eat, drink and have fun all the year round. The old guys from the Gu family were so stunned that they didn't dare to fart. As the actual leader of the Gu family idles around and demeans himself as a girl's personal attendant... With such a method, is the Gu family easy to talk to? Ha... If you ask him, this marriage is also weird. Maybe the boy from the ancient house is using his body as bait to plot some big move!
Shangguan Chu took a sip of the teacup on the ground. When he found it was cold, he poured it into the yard and poured himself a cup. He sipped it here and there and said casually, "You didn't even ask." Ask Gucuo what he wants, it’s time to get married, and she might be happy with it! It’s not appropriate for you to just fight with each other casually.”

While reading the letter, Ji Wuyan glanced at him sideways, as if he were looking at a fool, "If he was willing, why would that old guy from the Gu family imprison him? If he had never been imprisoned, how could he have been like this since he returned to the Gu family? It’s like disappearing into the sea with no news?”

This makes sense.

But Shangguan Chu still felt that it was a bit fanciful to imprison the already full-fledged Gu house, considering that the old man of the Gu family only knew the flowers and intestines. That guy from the ancient house...is holding back his ultimate move! Only the little girl really thought that Gucuo was a talkative person who could be rubbed round or flattened by others. He didn't bother to remind him and asked casually, "What did father write in the letter?"

"Oh..." Ji Wuyan casually handed over the letter he had read, and then said calmly, "They said they cut off the Chen family's medicinal material business, and also used some of your people to disguise themselves as bandits. I hijacked other people’s medicinal materials and now sent them all to Yunzhou to Mr. Chen.”

Shangguan Chu scanned through the three pages in a hurry. The first two pages conveyed his father and his family's thoughts, worries and affection for Xiao Ning. The first half of the last page conveyed the serious content with just a few pens. Finally, He also asked about this and that like a bandage around his feet. He even asked Grandma Wang, but...he didn't ask about his son.

"The verbose habit is still the same as before, but the habit of robbing people of medicinal materials to make a fortune is obviously much more vicious than the past." He commented, putting down the letter in his hand and shaking his head.
