Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 835 He decides life and death, I hand over the knife

My father, who was taught by his grandfather, has some scholarly pedantry and persistence in his heart, and his temperament is inevitably gentler. For this reason, my grandmother didn't like my father very much. She felt that he was unmanly, and she was also worried that she would not be able to protect her mother when necessary.

For these years, he has lived in a corner without being provoked by anyone. He has been doing this all day long, and his temperament has become more and more comfortable and gentle. This kind of method is really rare.

Shangguan Chu leaned against the back of his chair and shook his head, laughing. He actually had a bit of pleasure in watching the excitement, and sighed to himself, "You are the only one. He probably feels that you have suffered a lot of grievances in front of the Chen family, and yet you act like a bandit." , all they had to do was break into the Chen family and burn, kill and loot... But now the Chen family has been robbed of their business and robbed of medicinal materials. Under the heavy losses, they are afraid that they will jump over the wall... The ancestors of the Chen family, He is not someone who is willing to suffer losses.”

What's more, the Chen family are not fools. Even if they didn't know who was responsible for robbing the medicinal materials at first, it was clear that their business had been robbed. After thinking about it for a while, it was difficult not to guess that it was his father.

"You can guess it if you guess it." Ji Wuyan didn't care, he was domineering and confident, "Can you still snatch it back? Do you really think that your grandfather has been eating fast and chanting Buddha in Tanzhou these years?"

It is true.

Shangguan Chu nodded and was about to agree, but suddenly frowned and glanced at the letter in his hand with emotion, but deep down he was wondering that in terms of being pedantic and conservative, his father was far inferior to his grandfather. Although my grandfather had not been fasting and chanting Buddha in Tanzhou these years, it was almost the same. He could still accept robbing people's business, pretending to be a bandit to rob... Do you still want to have the character of a scholar? My father is a filial son, and he will definitely discuss it with his grandfather before doing these things. Can his grandfather... really agree?
"What's wrong?" Ji Wuyan asked, seeing his frowning and puzzled look.

Shangguan Chu shook his head and just said casually, "It's nothing. I suddenly remembered that an account was not correct in the morning... It's not a problem."

He said it casually. Ji Wuyan just asked casually at that time, and he naturally believed it now. She never asked or interfered with Shangguan Chu's business, but now she thought of the few white hairs on his head and complained verbosely, "Business is never done, it's time to rest. By then, you will be overworked and take medicine." It’s you who suffers, but no one can do it for you.”

The little girl was serious and sincere, like an old mother, and she seemed to be in charge of her own affairs. Shangguan Chu patted her head, stood up and dusted the hem of his clothes before agreeing, "Okay. Listen to Young Master Ji, I will arrange some manpower to guard Shen Luoxin's house from a distance later. After the arrangements are made, I will have a good rest today. I won’t go, I won’t see anyone who comes to see me, and I won’t look at the account books…” After that, he waved his hands and walked out.

Ji Wuyan propped up his chin and watched with a smile.

Shangguan Chu had not taken two steps, but then turned around and reminded, "Girl... if the Chen family jumps over the wall in a hurry, it may not necessarily be the wall of the Shangguan family, but maybe the wall of the Gu family... By then, if the wedding date is brought forward, you can hurry up If we don’t go back, what will happen if the old house is turned into cooked rice?”

Although he believed that the boy from Gucuo could not be pushed to the shelves, Shangguan Chu just wanted to hear Ji Wuyan's answer - he suddenly wanted to know the answer to this question. As he asked, he looked at Ji Wuyan, unwilling to let go of any changes in his expression.

Ji Wuyan was stunned. She opened her eyes slightly and looked over. She was probably blinded by the strong sunlight. She squinted her eyes again, pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled in a perfunctory manner. There was no trace of smile in her eyes, and her words were soft and soft. He asked back, "A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry? Cooking rice from raw rice? The rice is already cooked. This matter is a family matter in the ancient house... I can't say too much."

These words were very reasonable, but they were not her Ji Wuyan's style, let alone her Shangguan Ning's style. Shangguan Chu raised his eyebrows slightly and waited quietly for the next words.

Sure enough, Ji Wuyan slowly withdrew the hand supporting his chin and smiled lazily, "His family affairs will determine his life and death. I will hand him the knife."

He decides life and death, I hand over the knife... Shangguan Chu was slightly startled and looked at Ji Wuyan, secretly chewing on this short sentence, lazily, warmly, with a hint of sharpness revealed in the loose words.

Shangguan Chu knew what Ji Wuyan meant. After all, the reputation of killing one's relatives was not good. Since Gucuo wanted to be the head of the Gu family, she couldn't bear such an infamy, so she was willing to be the enemy's sword with blood on it.

"Ha..." Shangguan Chu suddenly chuckled. He suddenly felt that his previous worries were somewhat unnecessary. How could such a smart person not know that she got involved and ruined the marriage between Chen Gu and his family, and those gossips in the public How bad will it sound? But she doesn't care, she protects her confidently, domineeringly and magnanimously.

The little girl has always been like this, not afraid of rumors or infamy. In comparison, she seems to be very timid and narrow-minded.

"Why are you laughing?" Ji Wuyan asked him.

He didn't explain, just waved his hand, "It's nothing... let's go, I promised you, have a good rest today." After that, he turned around and left, walking calmly, as if he had been relieved of some heavy burden.

Ji Wuyan looked at Shangguan Chu who was obviously different, shook his head and muttered, "This guy... is weird. He doesn't know who he learned it from, and he can't explain anything clearly." After that, he didn't care and stood up. After clearing away the herbal tea on the table, I met a cat that escaped from nowhere when I entered the house. I picked it up and carried it to the yard to bask in the sun.

Some of the orchids left in the ancient house were broken in Ji Wuyan's hands. Later, she didn't dare to touch them and gave them all to Ziqiu to take care of. Ziqiu was also clumsy, so he broke off a few more ones. Finally, Ning Xiuyuan said that Aunt Han was a master at raising orchids. Ziqiu went to Ning Guogong Mansion to seek advice from Aunt Han, so he saved the last one. a part of.

Now that the weather is getting colder, these orchids have been moved to a side room with better lighting, and the yard has become quite empty all of a sudden.

Ziqiu brought a few pots of wintersweet from somewhere. The small ones were very beautiful in shape and were planted in good flower pots. They were very beautiful. However, it was not the time for the wintersweet to bloom yet, so there were fewer of them. Quite a view.

Ji Wuyan didn't care. She didn't have any talent in growing flowers and grass. The wintersweet couldn't bloom. To her, it was the difference between looking at it more and looking at it less. She sat down holding the cat in her arms. On the small bench in the courtyard, he was wandering and thinking about things. The cat stretched himself and fell asleep in the slow rocking back and forth.

When Li Yiwei came to see Miss Ji, Ji Wuyan was drowsy under the warm sun. The concierge came to report that "the Prince of Pingyang County came to see Miss Ji", so she suddenly woke up.
