Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 166 The bait has been laid (one more)
Even though his eyes fell on the poisonous arrow, Gu Cuo still noticed Ji Wuyan's abnormality in an instant, put down the arrow in his hand, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Ji Wuyan shook her head again, the dizziness had disappeared, it was so brief that it was just a hallucination, she rubbed the center of her brows, "It's nothing. It's probably because she was rarely injured, and her body is not used to it. When I ran around today, I lost my temper."

Said, smiled.It doesn't seem to matter.

Gucuo knew very well that Ji Wuyan was generally not a brash character in such a situation, so he didn't care too much, just nodded and said, "That being the case, don't go crazy with them, go to rest earlier, I'll stay here Let's talk." As he spoke, he raised his voice and called out, "Cen Yan, be quiet."

Cen Yan made a silent movement, indicating that he understood, and his steps became much lighter.

But the man in black fell directly from the courtyard wall, landed silently, floated over in three or two steps, and handed over a thin piece of letter paper, "Miss, a letter from Mr. Chu."

Ji Wuyan took it, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go." As he spoke, he opened the letterhead casually.

Trees fell and monkeys scattered, walls fell and people pushed them away. At that time, the Shangguan family offended the noble concubine and was forced to leave Yanjing City with their whole family.In the end, in desperation, he changed his surname to follow his mother's surname, and called him Ji Chuyu.

In this way, a world was gradually opened up in Tanzhou.

However, this name has not been included in the genealogy.

Everyone in the Ji family called him Mr. Chu.

The letter was a thin piece of paper with a few numbers, in line with his brother's concise temperament, "Yingzhou is flooded. The bait has been laid."

Although Yingzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the terrain is rugged, with jagged and scattered mountains.At the end of summer and early autumn, there was thunder and thunder, and the torrential rain continued. The endless rainwater rushed down from the top of the mountain, and it would break down the river embankment and destroy the Zhuangtian farmhouse in a few days.

The embankment has been strengthened every year, but it still fails repeatedly, and Yingzhou has become the most miserable area in the south of the Yangtze River.

The elder brother's news came through a secret channel, and when it was delivered to him, it would probably be delivered to the emperor three days earlier than the news from the court. If it was more urgent, it would take about two days before it could be delivered to the emperor.

She folded up the letter and handed it to Gucuo, "Put it away. We'll talk about everything tomorrow, don't worry...I'll go to sleep first."

……

The next day.

When Mrs. Ning had just washed up and was about to go to Ji's house to visit Ji Wuyan after breakfast, she heard the concierge say that Princess You had come.

She watched You Lingxi grow up. The old lady had no daughters all her life, and now she has not yet married a girl for three generations. She really treats You Lingxi as her own granddaughter, even if the other party is talking about Aunt You's daughter. It's a bit of a wrong generation, but the old lady also likes this girl from the bottom of her heart.

But recently, I really don't want to see this child.

Sighing slightly, she told the doorman, "Go to the third master's courtyard and ask him to clear the people in the courtyard, and then say that I'm going to his study, and let him stay in his room without making a sound. "

The doorman was at a loss, but he still answered yes and backed away.

As he said that, he went out the door with a smile on his face, and saw the other party wearing a light yellow dress, and his face looked as delicate as a budding flower.You Lingxi smiled sweetly, and called out, "Aunt Ning. I went out early today and went to a morning tea shop. I ate his pan-fried buns and thought they were delicious, so I brought some over for you to try."

As he spoke, he signaled the maid behind him to hand it over.

Nanny Han quickly picked it up, and opened her mouth a little embarrassedly, but didn't say anything.

On the other hand, Mrs. Ning waved her hand casually, "You child just wants to get me... It's just that I'm afraid it's not good for you! Imperial doctor Qin has repeatedly urged me to eat lightly this month, especially breakfast... They are all porridge and side dishes, and you are not allowed to eat greasy food. He said that my injury is really not serious, and my body needs to be carefully adjusted in the future. The most important thing is that I can’t eat everything..."

You Lingxi stepped forward to help the old lady, and smiled slightly, "It's because the younger generation didn't think carefully. I only know that it's delicious, but I didn't think that Aunt Ning's body is just fine...it's okay, take care of it, and when it's done, I'll take care of it." Let's go eat with you." The smile was very faint, like a dandelion that would disappear when touched by the wind, with a hint of melancholy.

I sat down.

Madam Ning looked at You Lingxi, who pursed her lips and smiled far-fetchedly, and her face was hesitant to speak, and sighed... The princess who was spoiled and raised was not able to cover up some negative emotions well.

What I thought in my heart was clearly put on my face.

"Girl..." The old lady called out softly, and asked after changing the subject, "I heard you said before that you encountered a bottleneck in playing the piano, but now you have broken through?"

You Lingxi hummed absently, "It's better. But the teacher suggested that I put it down for a while, saying that going for a walk might help me... But, it doesn't seem to help much."

"Where did you go?"

"Houshan..." After speaking, his eyes darkened.

"Playing the piano, painting, or other things, talk too much, there are no complicated skills, but it's just a matter of familiarity. If you practice a lot, you can always have your own experience. If you can comprehend something that others can't comprehend , that's considered extremely talented." The old lady patted the back of her hand and comforted her gently, "There's no rush. Take your time."

You Lingxi nodded, and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

However, the old lady changed her words, and she was still as gentle, "In this world, most things can be improved and achieved through my own efforts. But girl... the fate between people is the most unreasonable one." thing."

As soon as the words fell, the old lady's palm trembled suddenly, You Lingxi looked up with water in her eyes, "Aunt Ning...I..." she called out.There was a choked sound in the voice.

No matter how popular and rewarding Ji Wuyan is, she doesn't envy her, they are just things outside of her body.As the heir of the royal family, and the princess proclaimed by His Majesty, if she is still jealous and envious of these things, wouldn't she be too petty?

As soon as the two Buddha statues entered the city, the third elder brother entered the palace. Not long after that, boxes of treasures were carried into Ningguo Duke's Mansion and Ji's House, as well as plaques written by His Majesty and stamped with private seals. Anyone with a discerning eye can see them. It can be seen that this time the reward of the Ji family is heavier than that of the Ning family.You Lingxi is not a little girl who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't know anything if she doesn't go to the second door. In this case, Ji Wuyan is at best a "be brave for righteousness". It's all over with a notice.

The current situation can only show that the third brother asked for this reward for Ji Wuyan.

He distributed his glory and the reward he deserved to that woman.
