Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 21 Sister? !
The hand behind his back was clenched into a fist, and the nails were embedded in the palm, which hurt very much.This kind of pain keeps Ji Wuyan awake and doesn't lose his composure...

Just the word "Xinyue" is enough to make a woman lose all her pride. Is it so embarrassing?

The letters sent to him through secret channels were full of girlish feelings that could not be hidden. It was a completely unfamiliar Shangguan Yuan.She lowered herself into the dust, but lifted that man up high, her eyes were full of admiration.

The letter said that because of her lack of status, the courtiers tried their best to dissuade her, but His Highness was willing to overcome all difficulties just to welcome her in.But... Shangguan is also from the Zanying family, how come the daughter of Shangguan's family can't reach the threshold of his royal family?
The letter also said that His Highness loved her so much that silk, satin, pearls and emeralds were sent to her bedroom continuously, but when did the Shangguan family run short of her little things that could be exchanged for those yellow and white things? go?

The letter also said that His Highness was born very beautiful, more beautiful than anyone else, but in the middle of the night of July [-]th, when she arrived at Fengchenju, she saw the man hugging the girl and making fun of her in the private room, but it was just ordinary. How could the obscene expression that couldn't be concealed be worthy of her?
In the letter, Shangguan Yuan always called him "His Royal Highness", saying that "Prince" was too lofty and lacked a bit of fireworks. In contrast, "Your Highness" always had a bit more gentle and intimate affection.

In the letter after letter full of young girls' feelings, Ji Wuyan really believed that the sentence of His Highness the current Crown Prince "One eye for ten thousand years, I will not marry a non-qing", after all, the same mother and compatriots That person really looked exceptionally happy and complete.

But how long...

The beauty has become a dry bone.

Ji Wuyan lowered her head and looked at the peonies in the flower bed in the courtyard that had passed their flowering period, as if looking through them into the depths of time, looking at the person who was determined to enter the imperial city because of the grace of peonies... That is the person who is destined not to make her feel relieved in this life.

She lowered her head and smiled foolishly, the smile was uglier than crying, "...fool."

The shadows of the trees whirled and rustled, and there seemed to be a strange sound. Ji Wuyan suddenly turned around and looked straight behind him, "Who?!"

nobody.

But a pure white cat slowly walked two steps from the fence, sat down gracefully, licked its paws, and said to Ji Wuyan, "Meow..." not afraid of life.

A snow-white cat with only four black paws like ink, seems to be wearing four black gloves, which is somewhat nondescript, and it is particularly eye-catching in the dark night sky.

Ji Wuyan's eyes froze, and slowly, slowly, she squatted down and opened her arms, "Bao'er..."

Whispering like a dream, the eye sockets are already moist.

The cat took two steps forward, stopped, and then jumped into Ji Wuyan's arms, rubbed against it, and then called softly, "Meow..."

Ji Wuyan hugged the little one, squatted down slowly, and said again, her voice choked up, "Bao'er... from now on, you will be called Xiaoyuan."

Shangguan Yuan has loved cats since she was a child. She raised a cat when she was young. It was all white with four claws like ink, and it was named Xiao Ning.Ji Wuyan had been arguing for a long time and insisted that she change her name, but she refused.

It's just that the cat's lifespan is too short, and it will grow old in a few years, and Shangguan Yuan has been sad for a long time without it.

Later, Shangguan Yuan mentioned in a letter that after a lot of effort, she found a similar one, named Bao'er.Asked why she changed her name, she said that cats only live for more than ten years, but her Xiao Ning will live a long life.

Xiao Ning wants to live a long life.

But now there is no Shangguan Ning or Shangguan Yuan in this world, only Ji Wuyan is left.Alone, wandering in this vast world.

"Meow……"

The cat in her arms licked her cheek lightly, feeling warm and numb.

Ji Wuyan lowered her head slowly, buried her face in its fur...and cried.

"elder sister……"

"That man buried you in the imperial tomb with great grandeur, but I feel a little resentful because of it... Tell me, if I stole you from the imperial tomb, would you blame me..."

After all, you should like that place, it is the richest mausoleum in the whole world.

You like the rich and the rich.

The girl holding the cat and immersed in the past did not notice the figure quietly leaving in a dark corner.

……

Ningfu.

The shadows of the trees are haunting, while the moon is as cool as water.

A black shadow came out from the Ning family's fence, seeing the Ning family's impenetrable defense as nothing, and the hidden guards in the house are no strangers to it—the third master's people, the uncle dare not stop, let alone them?
Ning Xiuyuan was standing in front of the window with a teacup in hand. He was shocked by the news sent by his subordinates late at night... Sister?
The world only knows that Shangguan's only daughter is named Yuan, she is beautiful and talented, but when did she ever have a sister?It was the Shangguan Chu mentioned by the eldest brother, who was gradually forgotten because of the change of his surname and the deliberate retreat of the Shangguan family.

Shangguan is so reticent...why?Is it really just because... Offended Zuo Xiang's lineage?
……

Some people mourn the souls of the dead in the middle of the night, some spy on the hidden hearts of the people in the middle of the night, and some are hunted down in the forest...in the middle of the night.

The wind is not strong, the moon is not clear, the shadows of the trees sway slightly, and there is a rustling sound.

However, a figure sneaked into the jungle, breaking the tranquility of this area.The awakened bird flapped its wings and flew into the air, dropping two or three feathers.

Looking at her figure, she was a girl with a hood on her head and light-colored clothes, stumbling and running in a hurry in the jungle covered by dense branches and leaves.

Footsteps came from behind, and three or four black shadows could be vaguely seen. No one spoke. They met or exchanged glances, and tacitly changed to an outflanking method-the master said, try to catch as much as possible.

In the entire forest, there were only the sound of the girl's violent breathing and chaotic footsteps.

The disadvantages of being a woman are fully exposed at this time, the distance is getting closer and closer, and seeing that she is about to be grabbed by the other party, the soles of her feet slipped suddenly in a hurry... she rolled down with a cry.

The man in black chased after him, only to see a short steep slope, and a trace of being crushed and dragged on it, but the surrounding area was still clear, but there was no one there.

The four looked at each other, and turned around again, but still found nothing. A girl who was about to be caught flew away like a cooked duck...

"Boss, what should I do..." Someone took a step forward, his voice was extremely hoarse, like a chainsaw that had been in disrepair for a long time, and it was a bit harsh, "I'm afraid the king of the county will blame him..."

"Can you still do this?" The man called the boss sounded hot-tempered, "I lost it by myself, so can someone else get the punishment?! Come back!"

No more conversations.

There are only footsteps that are gradually drifting away... and two people who emerged from a dead tree trunk entwined with climbing vines...
