Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 896 The distinguished guest of the Shen family

Li Yiwei didn't care about sending a few incompetent men to let Lin Yi mess around. It would be best if they could stir things up... It would be best if Ji Wuyan could get Ji Wuyan out of Yanjing City.

In this way, there is no need to count the three conditions that Ji Wuyan agreed to... Only fish can be fished in muddy water, and only fishermen can profit when snipes and clams compete with each other.

He lay on his side on the bed, totally sleepless. He propped his head and looked at the slightly swaying bead curtain at the door. For a moment, he was a little curious about what kind of woman she was. She could really tolerate Lin Yi's ugly and disgusting face. Face... Speaking of women, Ji Wuyan couldn't help but think of Ji Wuyan. He gritted his teeth and lay back quickly.

It doesn't matter... tomorrow, the news that the Ji family has a magical elixir that can revive human flesh and bones will be spread to the father's ears. By then, the emperor who is suffering from illness will be angry, even though Ning Xiu is far away. All the admonitions and obstructions are of no avail. By then, the Ji family will be convicted. Either they will escape from Yanjing City and hide in the south of the Yangtze River like the Shangguan family did, or... the Ji family will wither and be destroyed.

No matter what the outcome is, it will be beneficial and harmless to you.

Ji Wuyan... was really naive. How could merchants compete with imperial power? Even the Ji family, which was rich and controlled most of the wealth in Jiangnan and was known as the "local emperor of Jiangnan", was just a "local emperor" and could only bow down in front of the "real emperor".

Kaihuang Mausoleum...childish.

……

Early the next morning, Shen Luoxin tossed and turned all night. When she woke up with black and swollen eyes, she found that there was an extra "distinguished guest" in the house. She saluted, but Shen's father did not and did not introduce him. He only said that he was an old friend. , and asked her to call him uncle - although this uncle looked much older than Shen's father, both his father and the other party were a little evasive in their words, but her mind was naturally not on this at the moment, and she knelt down. , called "uncle" obediently, and then left on his own.

When he turned around, he suddenly felt that the other person seemed familiar. He only frowned and didn't remember where he had seen him before... But it was also strange. It was not advisable to have guests during the white period.

Although Shen Luoxin was thinking this, he didn't go into details. After all, this "uncle" didn't look like he was from Yanjing City. If someone came from afar and there were no taboos, it would be normal for his father to keep him in his house.

This incident was quickly forgotten by her, so much so that when she thought about it later, she realized who the man looked like...

She walked out of the main hall and was about to go to the backyard when she bumped into her aunt, who was serving tea and dressed in plain clothes. Seeing her haggard appearance, she calmed down and nodded slightly as a greeting. Although my father brought my mother back, my aunt and her servants took care of everything after that. As for my father...he really couldn't do anything. Therefore, for this matter, she really should say thank you to her aunt.

However, the relationship that has been frozen for many years, even if both parties are somewhat unblocked, can not melt away overnight. This bowed greeting was already well understood, and the aunt nodded in response. When she turned around, she called out in a low voice, "Miss." Shen Luoxin turned around, looked back, and asked silently.

The other party seemed to be hesitant, his eyebrows were drawn together, and he pursed his lips before saying, "The girl's poison has just been cured. You have to pay attention to rest and don't hurt your body again... If Madam Izumi knows, she should I feel bad.”

Shen Luoxin nodded silently and was about to leave when he was suddenly startled, "Wait! You... what did you just say? Poison?"

"Yes!" Auntie nodded, "When I went to the street to buy things, I heard people spreading outside that you were poisoned before, but it was Miss Ji who saved you with a magical medicine that can kill human flesh and white bones. You, how can you recover so quickly...isn't it?"

Shen Luoxin smiled nonchalantly and explained, "It's nothing, maybe someone wants to target Wuyan. Auntie, please don't talk about it with others again. If anyone asks, just say I'm fine." Never been poisoned."

The aunt nodded and said, "It's good that you're not poisoned, it's good that you're not poisoned... I was worried that you were holding on, so that's good. Don't worry, I won't mention it to anyone again... I'm going to deliver tea to the guests. If you don't If you have anything to do, go and have a rest.”

"Yes." Shen Luoxin nodded quietly, and the words of thanks rolled between his lips and teeth for a long time. In the end, he only said, "Sorry to trouble you..." After that, he lowered his head and left.

Walking to the corner outside the courtyard, where there was no one around, she leaned against the wall and slowly closed her eyes. The fingertips on her side were tightly pinching her palms... Are they poisoned? Both Chen Lao and Wuyan said that she was just too tired, like a string that had been stretched for too long suddenly broke, and the rebound force caught her off guard, causing her to fall asleep for a long time. There was nothing wrong with these words, but at that time Shen Luoxin vaguely felt that she had slept for too long and seemed to have woken up in the middle. Her whole body was almost spinning and uncomfortable, but Mr. Chen clapped his chest and vowed Tell her - nothing!
Even if Ji Wuyan patted his chest and told her that she would have to doubt it, she had never doubted Mr. Chen's assurance and could never doubt it... But now it seemed that the thing she should not doubt the most was her own body. That feeling of recovering from a serious illness is by no means just excessive fatigue.

But...why did Ji Wuyan hide this matter from himself?

Do you not want to worry about it and feel indebted, or are you worried that if the news about the Ji family's medicine spreads, others will covet it or even... fear it? She leaned against the wall that was warmed by the winter sun, but she still felt that her limbs were cold and her whole body was weak - how could she suddenly be poisoned?
She couldn't figure it out, and she always felt as if there were some details that she had overlooked... However, she racked her brains and still had no clue. Seeing Xinyue hurriedly coming from the other side, she calmed down her emotions, straightened her clothes, and went to greet her.

In the room, the "distinguished guest" took a cup of tea and took a sip. He did not shy away and sighed softly in front of his aunt who had not yet left. "It's because I'm late...I heard that your girl has a very close relationship with that girl of mine." good?"

The aunt was slightly stunned when she put away the tray, and heard Shen Qian respond, "Yes, we are indeed good friends." At the same time, she ordered, "You go down first."

The aunt nodded and said yes, lowered her head and bowed to the distinguished guest again before retreating. When she went out, she had some guesses about the identity of the guest - the girl who was close to Shen Luoxin was now the only one in Yanjing City. That one... is this an elder of the Ji family? The words sounded like old acquaintances. He was guessing in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He only asked the maids in the courtyard to keep watch.
