Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 140 Xinyue and Xianyue (Part [-])

Gucuo has always known that Ji Wuyan will always have a way to convince himself, even though the reasons used to convince him often seem extraordinarily far-fetched.

But, I just couldn't refuse.

Just like that year, when she said she wanted to release paper kites, she also wanted to release paper kites made by herself.

Knowing that she was trying to embarrass her on purpose, she still found a famous paper kite master in Yunzhou to learn for several days, and even she didn't know how many paper kites she made. Well, one must also pay attention to talent in learning... It can be seen that I have no talent after all.

In the end, the paper kite was still bought, and it belonged to the old craftsman.

Xinyue knelt on the porch, the pattering rain continued to hit her eyebrows and eyes, and the broken hair between her forehead was stuck to her forehead, she looked a little embarrassed.

It's just that this extraordinarily introverted little girl, kneeling silently in the drizzle at this moment, is vaguely stubborn and stubborn.

Ji Wuyan was lying on the bed, her face still pale, with a soft quilt and soft pillow under her body, and the medicine bowl was put aside, with one or two mouthfuls left, it was cold.

The smell of medicine is still heavy.

She frowned, pushed the medicine bowl a little further, and motioned for Ziqiu to take it away, but Ziqiu was unmoved, "Girl, Mr. Chen told me that there should not be a single drop left." The girl always does this when she takes medicine. There are only a few mouthfuls left, and this habit can't be corrected no matter how much you correct it, she reminded Ji Wuyan, "Mr. Chen was really scared this time. He said that in order to let the girl have a long memory, he added a lot of Coptis chinensis."

I put a lot of sedatives yesterday, and today I put coptis... I really didn't think of myself as a wounded person.Ji Wuyan rubbed his nose, rolled his eyelids ferociously, "Where are the candied fruit? You didn't say you shouldn't eat it, did you?"

"I didn't say that, I'll go get it now." After saying that, she turned and went into the house.

It came out after a while, a small plate of candied fruit, Ji Wuyan took two of them, and ate one first, then picked up the cold medicine bowl at the side, raised his head, stuffed himself with another candied fruit, frowned and waved his hand , "Take it away, take it away, hurry up!"

Ziqiu stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for Ji Wuyan, and took Ji Feng away with the bowl in his hand.

Only then did Ji Wuyan look at the kneeling person in the corridor, and instead of letting go, he asked lazily, "Do you know why I made you kneel here?"

Xinyue shook her head, her voice was very soft, and her words were gentle, "I don't know. It's just that the girl wants to punish the servant, so there must be something wrong with the servant. Please tell the girl clearly."

"When will the sky follow the cloud?" Ji Wuyan asked her.

Chaoyun is the next steward of the Ji family chosen by her grandmother, and this trip to Yanjing City is her last test.In my impression, Chaoyun didn't bring anyone with him when he came here this time.

She whispered, "Almost half a year."

Although the rain wasn't heavy, the little girl had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, her face was so wet that she lost all color, and her expression was a little stiff.Ji Wuyan looked at her, and spoke softly, "You came to serve me, how did she explain to you? Tell me and listen."

"Auntie..." The other party's hands hanging by his side clenched, his throat seemed to move, and he said, "Auntie, except for what the girl tells you...don't look, don't listen, don't say... ..."

"What about you? How did you do it?"

She was silent and didn't speak. After a long while, she raised her chin a little bit stubbornly, but her eyes still fell on the step closest to her, and she clenched her fists, "There are so many people in the Ji family, why do you think it's the slaves who did it?" What? If the girl is just looking for a reason to punish the servant, then the servant will admit it... After all, if you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it."

The little girl clenched her fists, as if to cheer herself up.

"Heh..." Ji Wuyan looked at the other party's way of encouraging himself, and felt a little funny for a while, the little girl didn't look bad, "The matter of going to the back mountain is actually a game I set up. The game you set up, apart from the few people who went up the mountain, only you know about it. Or you can tell me, who is it, Ziqiu? Cen Yan? Ancient house? Or Jifeng? Or... myself?"

The little girl didn't speak.

"Xinyue, I don't want to doubt you as long as there is a slight possibility... You are the person Chaoyun sent me here, and you are also the person she believes to be trustworthy. Suspicion, it's somewhat unworthy. So she won't know what happened today." Ji Wuyan said, raised his hand to gently touch his left shoulder, and turned his numb body that hadn't moved for a long time.

Gucuo stepped forward to help her.

Xinyue secretly raised her eyes and asked, "Then... what about Xianyue? Why doesn't the girl doubt her?"

After adjusting her posture and lying down more comfortably, Ji Wuyan didn't hide it, "She naturally has her own situation to deal with, but... the rumors outside are completely different from what she heard."

She finally became anxious, and her voice was high, "Then, that may not necessarily be a slave! Even if it's not Ziqiu and the others, they may be people around Third Master Ning! Why do you think they are slaves?"

Ji Wuyan looked at her with pity in her eyes, and she seemed to sigh, reminding her, "But... the only one who knows about the two rumors that tell the truth is you, Xinyue... Besides, look , until now, you only think that the trip to the back mountain is me and Ning Sanye, but you don't know that there are other people. Xinyue, everything in this world always has cause and effect, and there are always clues. What's more...you Not good at deceiving, you know?"

The almost gentle tone made my heart tremble in my ears.

"Slave..." Xinyue opened her mouth, the rain on her face flowed into her mouth, she swallowed it all, her voice became lower and lower, she didn't know whether it was cold or fear, her body trembled a little, and her voice trembled, " It's not the servant girl... Those words were not spoken by the servant girl... The servant girl didn't think so..."

After all, she was a little girl, so she couldn't bear to be scared at all.

Just kneeling in the rain for a while, the words that the toothmaid used to scare them have been honestly gone through in my mind, and I have scared myself, now I hear Ji Wuyan is almost "wishful" His persuasion actually gave rise to a feeling of grievance.

"Xianyue said, we are here to serve the girl. Auntie said it was the most important thing, but in fact it was just a promotion and a relegation in secret... After all, Fengchenju still has a day to show its face, maybe it will be favored by some small rich businessmen and promoted Be a concubine. If you are lucky, you can become a serious wife."

"That day, Princess You came over, and Xianyue and her servants were the ones serving tea and water. When the princess mentioned this house, we were all heard before we were far away. Not long after we went back, Xianyue sighed. , seems to be preoccupied."
