Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 174

If you start to doubt yourself just because of these irresponsible rumors, it only shows that your goal is not firm enough... Ruoshui looked at the back of the other party, and sat with his knees hugged for a long time, without noticing, the rockery Another person turned back and left.

The ancient house noticed it.

So when he saw Ji Wuyan approaching with a gossiping expression, he wasn't surprised at all. He stretched out his hand and pushed her head away, and put a stack of account books in front of her, "Don't think about what you have, if you get it If you don’t have time, just pick up some to survive. You brothers and sisters are worthy of being born out of the same mother’s womb, and you are self-taught when you are a shopkeeper."

Ji Wuyan flipped through them casually, and found a rice shop, a cloth shop, a tailor shop, and even a pawnshop.Ji Wuyan was a little surprised, "Brother, I haven't seen you running this way in these years. When did you buy this property?"

"It is said that the heart has seven orifices, but he has more than that... In recent years, even he himself has lost count of how many properties he has. The outside world says that he holds half of Jiangnan, but I think it is more than that... I don't know about clothing stores. If you understand it well, you can still look at the account books. If you have time, go and help out, so he can give an explanation."

"It's done." Ji Wuyan nodded, and left two of the account books. After thinking about it, he put the cloth back and took away the pawnshop. "I heard that the pawnshop is the most profitable every day. In a few days I'll go take a look."

After dividing up the accounts, Ji Wuyan returned to the original topic. She held her chin and smiled, "In the past, I saw that you treated her with no false words, but today you are patiently comforting her... Sure enough, a woman with pear blossoms in the rain is the most pitiful thing. Even ancient houses are not exempt from customs."

When the little girl raised her eyes to look at people, her eyelashes were long and curly, flapping gently like butterfly wings.There was a small smile in his eyes, with a bit of slyness.

Looking at Ruoshui at that time, I felt as if I saw Ji Wuyan who hadn't grown up yet.At this moment, the Lord is in front, so I feel that it is not as good as one or two out of ten.He glanced at her, "What nonsense... Don't mess around, the girl's family reputation is the most important thing."

With a straight face, he looked very much like a gentleman holding a ruler.

Ji Wuyan replied softly, "Okay... I understand. It's just that Ruoshui's temperament is not bad when I look at her. I thought she was Ning Xiuyuan's person before, so I was very wary of her. Now it seems that, It's not a person who is opportunistic... It seems that he is really serious and only wants to stand out with his own piano sound."

Gu Cuo didn't show any interest in her, and just responded lazily, "Well... But, it seems that I'm hiding it."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I sat next to her just now. Except...except for the fact that my breath was a little unsteady when I was crying at the beginning, the rest of the time was mostly introverted and long. I must have some skill in my body."

"Oh?" Ji Wuyan smiled with great interest, "In this way...it's clever. I just thought, how could Ning Xiuyuan really find an eyeliner who is more cute than smart..."

Gu Cuo bent down to take the remaining account books on the table, and opened his eyes calmly when he heard the words Ji Wuyan, with gentle eyebrows and probing words, "You seem... to have a high opinion of Ning Xiuyuan."

"Is it high?" Ji Wuyan didn't hear the temptation, just rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "Didn't you hear me saying that he is not a good person with a dark heart and deep thoughts?"

Gu Cuo smiled slightly, nodded and echoed softly, "It's true that he is not a good person..."

And in the distance, on the way to Yingzhou, Ning Xiuyuan suddenly sneezed loudly.

After hearing this, Xi Yu raised the curtain of the car and turned around to look, "But last night, I got cold and caught the wind chill? We should be able to rush to the next town before sunset, and find a cleaner inn to take a good bath. Get rid of the cold." Before leaving, the old lady reminded me ten thousand times, and I must take good care of it. If I lose a strand of hair when I go back, I will be punished myself, so I can't ignore it.

Xi Yu trembled like a frightened bird because of a sneeze from his master, and the person concerned went to lean on the carriage lazily, without energy, and didn't bother to answer the nagging subordinates, so he said "um" slowly, without further words.

My mind drifted away.

Before leaving, I had a bad fight with the little girl, and I didn't know if the girl would hold grudges... At that time, I was really annoyed.

The medicine was in the warehouse of the Imperial Hospital, and Ji Wuyan's injury was not exposed at that time, so it took a lot of trouble to get the medicine.So when she saw the abandoned medicine bag, she really felt that this girl was careless.

I didn't raise it well, didn't cover it well, so that I left in anger, and I didn't care about the many instructions and farewell words I had prepared before.

But after thinking about it afterwards, I felt that although this girl is indeed quite heartless, she is not a person who will act on her own will, and she will not do angry things for no reason. Even if she dismisses this medicine, she probably would It will just be put aside... Thinking about it, there should be some reason for it.

After all, she also said...she didn't know.

Thinking about it this way, I felt that I was too extreme at the time... I don't know how long this trip to Yingzhou will be delayed. When I go back, will the girl's anger subside? If not, how can I coax her?Finally, the relationship took a step forward, but now it's good, and it's back to the beginning.

Ning Xiuyuan had been thinking so much all along the way, and after thinking about it, he managed to coax himself well, and even made a self-examination... If Xi Yu knew about this mental activity, he would be shocked. He thought that his master had changed his soul.

Even when he arrived at the inn, Ning Xiuyuan didn't sleep well after tossing and turning for the past few days, so he hurriedly wrote a letter with a pen and sent it to the Bai family in Yanjing City.

……

In Yanjing City.

Ji Feng has also been very preoccupied these days. He stopped eating his favorite snacks on weekdays, and he would follow him when he heard that he went to the street on weekdays. Now he doesn't like to go out. In any inconspicuous corner, murmured unintelligible ravings.

Ji Wuyan asked several times, but he said nothing happened.It's just that children are not good at disguising, and their expressions dodge when they say "nothing".

It's just that he didn't want to say it, so Ji Wuyan didn't ask anymore, children have their secrets too.

In the afternoon of this day, Ji Feng became a little bit uneasy.At first, I was worried about being punished, but as the days went by, no one questioned me. It was the guilt of my lying that began to weigh heavily on my heart, and I almost didn't think about eating or drinking.

He and Ji Wuyan have no secrets, but now they have—this realization made him feel sad first.So, in the end, he knocked on Ji Wuyan's door with the cat in his arms.
