Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 177 The Truth About the Medicine Pack (Third Watch)

The girl at the door poked her head as always, and smiled, "It smells so good..." Not long ago, she greeted Ji Wuyan for the first time in this way.

For Ruoshui's arrival, Ji Wuyan showed a rare look of surprise, and sat down in greeting.

The tables and chairs are placed in the courtyard, if the water enters the courtyard, they will come in and out busy carrying the stools and bowls and chopsticks, looking like two people in a courteous manner, but the underground people in the dining room look at each other, they have no work for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable Great fit.

Ji Wuyan let her go, watching her calmly arrange everyone's positions with bowls and chopsticks, her mind was clearly revealed - a table for the Eight Immortals, Ji Feng naturally does not need anyone to arrange it, it is natural To stick to Ji Wuyan, Cen Yan and Ziqiu were on the side, Chen Lao was with Chaoyun, and she herself... was arranged next to the ancient house.

The girl from Fengchenju did not sit next to Chaoyun, but arranged Chaoyun and Mr. Chen together. This intention... can only be said to be quite obvious.

It's just, even, after the girl made the arrangements, she got shy first, sitting there with her head lowered and quietly, like a bride sitting by the bed on a wedding night waiting for the groom to lift her hijab.

However, after all, Gucuo was not the groom who shared her heart. He came out from the inside, glanced at the only empty seat, walked over to pick up his own bowls and chopsticks, walked to Jifeng, pushed, "Today's man There are many, and your sister Shen is also coming, and the children's family occupies so much space."

As he spoke, he lifted Ji Feng aside, and sat next to Ji Wuyan.

Ji Feng didn't even know what happened, he stared at the ancient house, then at his own feet standing on the ground, and said with a deflated mouth, "Girl..."

Ji Wuyan squeezed closer to the ancient house, vacating a small space beside him, and beckoned to him, "Come here... It's true that there are a lot of people today. Your elder sister Shen has gone to take a bath, and you'll be here later."

Said, looking at Ruoshui.

The girl in a pink peach dress is always cute and smart in her attire, bouncing around like a fluttering butterfly as she walks.However, at this moment, the butterfly seemed to have been hit by a thunderstorm, drenched in water, and could not fly.

She pursed her lips, picking at the wontons in the bowl, looking tasteless.After a long while, I turned my head to look at Ji Wuyan, but his eyes passed by the ancient house, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, before he asked Ji Wuyan, "A few days ago, I left early and returned late, and you fell asleep when you came back... I didn't have time to ask Are you feeling better?"

Ji Wuyan nodded, "It's much better, so there's no serious problem."

"That day, Master Ning..." He hesitated for a moment after speaking, thinking that it was an open secret that he was ordered by Ning Xiuyuan, and there was no need to hide it, so he continued to ask, "Master Ning's medicine, Did you receive it? I heard that the medicine is very good, even Mr. Ning spent a lot of effort."

"That medicine..." Ji Wuyan hesitated, and asked in a more tactful way, "Where did you put it?"

"Just... that day I saw you talking to Miss Shen in the courtyard, so I didn't want to disturb you, so I left it on the steps at the entrance of your courtyard. You... didn't you get it?"

It turned out to be the case.

Ji Wuyan took a bite of the wonton, chewed it slowly, put down the spoon in his hand after swallowing it, and said, "I got it. It's at Mr. Chen's place now." He didn't mention the quarrel caused by it at all.In fact, Ji Wuyan also guessed that Ruoshui put the medicine bag on the steps, and the people in his yard probably didn't look at the road when they walked. Maybe someone kicked him into the grass. Coincidentally, in the grass After lying in bed for so long, she was found out by Qian Momo when Ning Xiuyuan came over.

Really by accident.

In fact, according to Ji Wuyan, the truth of this matter is not important anymore.After all, in the end, the reason for their quarrel was not because of the truth, but because Ning Xiuyuan felt that his own will was betrayed, and he also felt that he was not trusted at that time...

It was strange to say, since I was very wary of Ning Xiuyuan, but I expected him to trust me, so the quarrel was inexplicable.

While speaking, Shen Luoxin came over after taking a shower and changed into clean clothes.

Although the whole person looked much cleaner, he was still tired, and he didn't seem to have much appetite, so he poured half of the bowl of wontons served by the servant into Chen Lao's bowl, and said, "Chen Lao, I A few days..."

In the middle of the conversation, I felt that it was not appropriate to say it at this time, so I just looked at Ji Wuyan, "Everything is fine in the afternoon, after eating, I will go to your place with Mr. Chen."

Ji Wuyan swallowed half of the wonton in his mouth, but didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Ruoshui looked at him, feeling a little strange in his heart.

In fact, she has always noticed that many small details of Ji Wuyan's behavior look extraordinarily elegant and well-bred.At that time, she said that she was a descendant of merchants in her family, and there were servants and housekeepers in her family in her early years, so she believed it, thinking that this was her upbringing from a young age.

But these days, I have seen a lot in the Ye family. Compared with Ji Wuyan, the manners of the wives and ladies of those aristocratic families always look elegant and a little more pretended to be noble.It's not like Ji Wuyan, even if he wears a veil and eats wontons, he is slow, calm and elegant.

For a while, I couldn't help but wondered what the scale of Ji Wuyan's so-called "merchant's family" was before the family fortune.

Could it be... a glory that even the Ye family can't match?

Thinking of this, he quietly raised his eyes to look at the ancient house.

Ji Wuyan said that this was her family's former servants, and those were all dismissed, but the old house was loyal, thinking of the old master's kindness, and stayed until now.He also said that Gucuo was just a reckless man who didn't know a lot of big characters, but Ruoshui didn't think it was credible.

Mr. Wang once said that a person's temperament is not only determined by appearance, but also by self-cultivation, conversation, and knowledge. These things nourish the bones and blood day and night, forming a person's unique temperament and soul.

And the ancient house is by no means the soul of a reckless man. It is a piece of beautiful jade, which looks cold and hard, but is gentle and dignified inside.

After thinking of the rockery, what he said to himself was somewhat straightforward to the point of indifference, but the vague concern in it could not be faked, and it was more heart-warming than superficial relief.

At first sight, I thought this skin was really amazing, but later I felt that the way this man was holding a whip was the best interpretation of a beast in clothes, so I made up my mind to stay away.But now...but I feel that if I don't give it a try, I will probably regret it in this life.

She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, and there were three wontons in the bowl. If there were three mouthfuls on weekdays, there would be nothing left, but now she just said softly, "I... I'm full."
