Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 168 It seems that I talked about something, but I didn't seem to talk (three more)

Before leaving Duke Ning's mansion, You Lingxi once asked the old lady, "Aunt Ning. My mother once said that there are many kinds of men's preferences, such as acting on occasion, or being in love with him for several years... She never said what it is. Aunt Ning, you You know... the third brother treats her..."

The old lady shook her head at You Lingxi with compassionate eyes.She said, "Girl, Xiuyuan... is not worth it. I know you have been waiting for him these few years. You think it's because he has no intention of getting married, and you think that a man should start a business first and then start a family. So you always feel that as long as you wait, wait until If he is willing to get married, he will be able to see you... right?"

Yes.It's just that for some reason, this end can't be lit no matter what.You Lingxi only held the handkerchief in his hand, choked up and asked, "Isn't it... isn't it?"

"Hey... It's my fault too, I didn't have a good chat with my son. I only know that one portrait is sent to his room one by one." The old lady stood on the steps and looked at the coral beads on the You family's carriage. The pendant felt more and more fond of the junior in front of him.But she is not an autocratic mother, and she knows that twisted melons are not sweet, let alone...she can't twist them.She patted You Lingxi lightly, "But a while ago, he said something, he said that if he had the heart, no one else would have the chance... Do you understand this?"

In the chest, I can no longer feel the pain, maybe it is already numb.

She understands the meaning of this sentence.It means that he didn't intend to marry, but he didn't intend to be the princess.If he meets a girl who makes him interested, he will not give others any chance.It seems to be true now.Ji Wuyan has only been here for a long time, and the third brother...he is a stranger.

At that time, Ji Wuyan said something similar. She said that even if everyone in the world said she was a jealous woman, it didn't matter. She, Ji Wuyan's man, would never want to be equal to others.He also said that if she really likes Ning Xiuyuan, then it's nothing to do with her.

The same overbearing.

Sitting in front of the window, You Lingxi looked at the bright sun outside the window, and suddenly felt a little melancholy, which spread from the bottom of her heart to all her limbs.I can't tell what kind of emotion it is, I just feel as if I am alone in the world.She whispered to the maid waiting at the door, "Go and remove all the coral bead decorations in my room."

……

After sending You Lingxi away, the old lady lost interest in going to Ji's house, so she turned around and went to Ning Xiuyuan's yard.

Ning Xiuyuan was waiting in the yard, the tea was ready, when he saw his mother coming, he pushed a cup over, and asked with a smile, "When did you go to my study?" Otherwise, how would he know that there is a painting there.

"Lying on the ground tired these two days, I wanted to find some playbooks from you to read. Your father's old-fashioned, full of military books, sage books, really boring..." Sipped his tea, frowned in doubt , took another sip, "Where did this tea come from? Bring me some to take away."

"It was rewarded by His Majesty yesterday. Don't take this if you want to drink. I will go to your future daughter-in-law to ask for some. Hers is better than this."

The old lady raised her eyebrows and teased him, "Good boy, I know where to send the good things now."

"No. It's her own."

Ning Xiuyuan didn't explain much, and the old lady didn't ask too much. After all, an old man who is too lenient will be disliked.She pointed to the location of the study, "That painting is not bad, but it's a pity that I didn't show my face."

"What do you do to show your face...just show me your face."

"..." I was at a loss for words for a while, it seemed to be so reasonable, but it didn't seem to be so. While drinking tea, the old lady was thinking, why did she come here on purpose to see this damn boy?

They seemed to have talked about something just now, but they didn't seem to have talked about anything.

After drinking a cup of tea, the old lady was blocked by her son's few words, and she was depressed for a while, so she waved her hand and went back.

On the way back, she suddenly remembered You Lingxi's question. She tilted her head and asked her old buddy, "Tell me...how many kinds of men do you like..."

Nanny Han, who was over half a century old, was taken aback by this question, and she was as embarrassed as a teenage girl for a while, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and said incoherently, "You, what are you talking about... How can the old servant understand..."

The old lady glanced at Nanny Han interestingly, looked it up from head to toe, and smiled suddenly, "That's right, I don't understand, how can you understand."

Ning Guogong and his wife are deeply affectionate and envious of others... This is the evaluation of the world.

It seems that the top performance of men's liking is to be a couple for a lifetime, but in the midst of the situation, it always feels like something is missing.Thinking to no avail, but felt that he was also influenced by You Lingxi.Most of my life has passed, and at this time, I am still struggling with the problems of a teenage girl, which is really disrespectful.

Thinking of this, I laughed and sighed, "I don't know, people, sometimes it's easier to be confused."

……

Some people find it hard to be confused.

Some people seek to find the only truth hidden behind layers of illusions under the seemingly chaotic appearance.

Shen Luoxin didn't sleep all night.

On the second day, she appeared in Ji Wuyan's yard with two big swollen and black eyes. She seemed to be extremely hungry, and she finished a bowl of porridge in a few mouthfuls.Cen Yan was stunned.

After eating, she seemed to be revived a little.

Ji Wuyan finally found a chance to speak—after all, the other party seemed to be reincarnated from starvation, with the posture of swallowing jujube and porridge, and the words "Do Not Disturb" written all over his face.

Ji Wuyan put down the spoon in his hand, "What happened to the robbery yesterday?"

Shen Luoxin rubbed her stomach, looked around, and found that she could not drink the second bowl, she just poured herself a glass of plain water, took a sip and said slowly, "I went to rob your library... Mr. Chen I recommended some books, and after reading them for a while, I found out some famous ones. It was confiscated for a while, and I read them all night. No, I found out that it was dawn. When I take my time, I asked Xu Siniang to look for them in the yamen Maybe something can be found out from the original file."

"What dossier?" Ji Wuyan noticed that most of the time Shen Luoxin called her mother not "Mother", but "Xu Siniang".It's not disrespectful, but like a very friendly relationship, like a friend, like a colleague.

Gently set aside the teacup in her hand, the girl who was starved to death just now suddenly looked very professional and persistent when she became serious, "Those dozen murder cases."

Cen Yan let out a "huh", the spoon fell into the porridge bowl, the porridge was gone, and with a "boom", the atmosphere that Shen Luoxin had painstakingly created was completely wiped out.

Shen Luoxin rolled her eyes at him, disgusted, "It's spoiling the scenery!" It seemed that the obsession just now was just an illusion.
