Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 111 "No Salt." (one more)
Come quietly, go quietly, wave your sleeves, leaving a fallen leaf.

Ji Wuyan thought that no one was alarmed and returned to the previous banquet.Just as he was seated, Gucuo leaned over and pouted in a certain direction.

Just meeting the look from the other end, the other party raised his glass, nodded and smiled lightly, as a greeting.

Li Yuqi.

And Lily... Wearing blood-colored silk flowers on her head, she sat beside the prince and smiled sweetly, so gentle and pleasant, like a lily blooming at the most perfect level.

Ji Wuyan was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly, "They..."

"Come here together." The voice in the ear was low and slow, "All the officials present probably think that this is the prince's pillow. I thought she was the future princess."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and put some vegetables on the plate in front of her.

Yang Shaofei started to toast, she looked like she was looking for someone, her complexion was not good-looking, she didn't know if it was because of the drinking together, or because of the person sitting next to the prince, maybe it was both.

Lily looked completely different from the last time I saw it.She was originally very soft and charming, but now the corners of her mouth are curled up in a charming manner, even Ji Wuyan finds it pleasing to the eye.Except... the bloody silk flower in her hair.Ji Wuyan smiled with her chin propped up, "It doesn't look like the determination to die together..."

"In this bustling world, the scenery of mountains and rivers, the ups and downs of fame and fortune, which one is not attractive enough?"

Because of the low-pitched words, the two of them got very close. In such an occasion, there was a subtle atmosphere of concubine love. Their eyes fell in a certain direction, and when they met each other, they nodded slightly invisibly. , then retracted his gaze and continued, "There are not so many non-qing and non-qing not to marry, but it was just an illusion created by the specific occasion and the right atmosphere at that time."

Eyebrows drooped slightly, the atmosphere was noisy, and the words were so cold that the heart was startled.

Ji Wuyan tilted his head to look at him, but the other party's brows and eyes were still gentle, and he couldn't tell anything strange.She played with a smile, "Obviously you have been by my side for many years, I am sure that if there is the only person in this world who understands you, it must be me... But even so, I still doubt that you have been with me during the few days when I didn't know you. Years, after all, I have experienced some... well, something not so good."

The hand holding the chopsticks froze slightly, and Gu Cuo turned his head to look at her, and then at Ning Xiuyuan who was not far away with a rather unsightly expression.

Ning Xiuyuan was regarded as the witness of this marriage.

At that time, if he hadn't been pestering inside, the marriage probably wouldn't have been possible.Just now, what Yang Shaofei was looking around for was looking for Ning Xiuyuan. This first glass of wine must wait for this young, unmarried but enthusiastically starting to stir up other people's marriages to sit in the chief seat before respecting him. .

Gu Cuo smiled, and perfunctorily said, "The years when I was not by your side, I was just a child, the worst thing that could happen to me was probably being lazy and having no food to eat."

Speaking of this, he only stared at Ning Xiuyuan lazily, thinking to himself, this old god sitting there and being toasted by a bunch of veterans is really not a good thing.Without any effort, a marriage was arranged, which suddenly destroyed the seemingly impregnable alliance between the Yang family and the East Palace.

Another seed of suspicion was planted between the Ye family and the royal party of Pingyang County represented by the queen.

"He's really not a good person..." Gu Cuo murmured with a chuckle, and whispered something to Ning Xiuyuan.

Ning Xiuyuan understood.

"Master Ning..." The person toasting came again. He withdrew his gaze from the other side, licked the back of his teeth, gave a half-smile, touched the other's wine glass with the teacup in his hand, looked Seeing the other party drink it down in a serious, even trembling gulp, he lazily sipped the rim of his glass.

No one thought there was anything wrong with that.

Even at the state banquet or in front of His Majesty, no one saw Master Ning drinking.

After paying respects to Ning Xiuyuan, Yang Shaofei paid respects to Li Yuqi with a dark face.The affair between the bridegroom and the "Prince's new favourite" was widely rumored, and almost no one knew about it. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought him to the wedding banquet, people really have to doubt his intentions, and have to re-examine the Yang family and their relationship. The relationship between the East Palace.

"coming."

As soon as Gucuo finished speaking, Ji Wuyan had already picked up the wine glass in front of Gucuo and floated out.

The movements are so familiar that they are smooth and flowing, as if they have been done many times before.Ning Xiuyuan, who was always looking in this direction, darkened his eyes, and slowly stood up while holding a teacup.

Gucuo once asked Ji Wuyan, if Baihe really wanted to kill someone at the Yang family's wedding banquet, what would she do?
At that time, she said that she would not save a person who wanted to die.Lily's desire to die is determined, even if she is saved, she only brings back a tool of revenge with hatred in her heart, she will still find the next, next opportunity, and take Yang Shaofei to hell with her.

You can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and likewise, you can't save a person who wants to die.

So Ji Wuyan never intended to save Lily, and naturally...he didn't want to save Yang Shaofei either.That was the sin that Yang Shaofei should pay for, not to mention that there was a Ziqiu in the family who hated everything, and every day hoped that Yang Shaofei, who bullied men and women, would get the punishment he deserved.

It's just that you can't die like this.

At least, he couldn't die in Lily's hands in broad daylight and in full view of everyone.

She smiled slightly, floated over, stretched out her hand to hand out the wine glass in her hand, and was about to cut off her beard, "Yang..."

"No salt."

The voice is not high, very gentle, with a bit of imperceptible tenderness.

When the voice was spoken, the surrounding suddenly became quiet, all eyes fell on Ji Wuyan in unison, and then turned to look at the source of the voice - Ning Xiuyuan.They looked at each other in blank dismay: This third master Ning, is he very familiar with this one?It sounds so affectionate.There were also those who didn't know Ji Wuyan, and immediately asked who the girl was.

Ning Xiuyuan felt that he probably heard Ji Wuyan's teeth gnashing.

But she gritted her teeth secretly, but her face was gentle and gentle, she just raised her wine glass, took a sip, and called out, "Master Ning is well."

With a pleasant smile, after finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to float away again.

Yang Shaofei had finished respecting the prince and walked up to Lily.And Lily was three statures away from Ji Wuyan, so it was still too late to float over now.

Unexpectedly, the sleeve was gently grabbed.

You don't need to turn your head to know who is holding you back. Ji Wuyan wished she could just shake off her sleeves, but she couldn't. She just pretended not to notice, and secretly pulled, but didn't move.
