Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 223 Restlessness (Third Watch)
Torrential rain.

With the support of her servants, Mrs. Ning staggered to Ning Xiuxian's courtyard.

Wrapped in a thin blanket, Mrs. Jiang was reading a book in the room. Seeing the visitor, she rushed out to greet him, ordered her maid to prepare ginger soup, and took a dry handkerchief to wipe the old lady's robe.The rain was so heavy that even with the oil-paper umbrella, half of her body was wet, and the mother holding the umbrella was drenched to the bone.

"Why did you come here by yourself?" Jiang muttered while wiping, "Just say hello if there is anything, let's go, it's raining and windy..." Then, he turned around and told the servants, "Go to the study and call Say uncle. Say mother is coming."

The servants retreated in response.

The old lady hugged the hot teacup with a gentle smile on her face, "It's nothing... I got sprained earlier, and the imperial doctor also said that I walk too little on weekdays, which is not good. You are just too careful..."

"Then you shouldn't be walking around in this weather." Jiang still frowned, and took a long time to sit next to her, probably guessing the purpose of the old lady coming over in the rain, and asked tentatively, "You... ...Have you heard?" with a smug expression.

What happened in the Bai family was already rumored yesterday. The fact that the ancestor of the Jiang family was a closed disciple was already enough to cause an uproar. What's more, Fu Xi and Jiao Wei appeared at a banquet at the same time, and Dang Chaojun was among them. The farce of the Lord's tit-for-tat and intention to take Fuxiqin as his own is difficult to keep secret.

The bystanders naturally sighed and then read a joke.

But Mrs. Jiang knew that her mother really treated Princess Lingxi as her junior. Now that something like this happened to her, she still had to worry about it.What's more, Ji Wuyan was involved, so she went to invite Ning Xiuxian first without saying a word.

"Hey..." The old lady sighed softly, and after a while, she muttered softly, "The child has grown up and has his own thoughts. It seems a little strange..."

"Things may not be as rumored. After all, three people become tigers..."

The old lady is no longer a young man who doesn't understand anything. Looking at Jiang Shi, she shook her head slightly, "But it's not groundless..."

Naturally, it is impossible to come up with groundless rumors, and no one dares to make rumors about the current princess.Mrs. Jiang didn't know how to comfort her, so she changed the topic with a smile, "I never thought that Miss Ji, who seemed to be quiet and quiet, turned out to be Mr. Jiang's closed disciple. This status is much stronger than that of girls from other clans. gone."

In terms of status, she may not be as good, but in terms of reputation and status, she is far superior to many ladies from aristocratic families in Yanjing City. There are so many literati in the world, and as many people in this world admire and admire Mr. Jiang, there are as many people who are willing to give Ji Wuyan a face.Even when His Majesty saw Ji Wuyan, he might have to politely call her a girl, so as to show his benevolence, kindness and fraternity.

"Yes..." The old lady sighed softly, "It's a bit surprising."

While speaking, Ning Xiuxian stepped into the door, stood at the door and shook the rainwater on his body, then rubbed his face before stepping in, "Why is mother here?"

The old lady didn't exchange too many greetings, and said bluntly, "Come and see you, by the way... ask about something about the Bai family yesterday."

After taking the hot tea handed over by Jiang Shi, he took a sip before asking, "You've heard all about it."

"If I haven't heard of it, you plan to hide it from me, my wife?"

Ning Xiuxian shook his head and laughed, "You Lingxi begged me pitifully, wanting me to keep this matter from you. She would feel ashamed too... I just agreed and didn't bring it up. If you ask, my son, I will It is natural to know everything and say everything.”

After finishing speaking, he drank the hot tea in his hand, handed it back to Mrs. Jiang, and told everything he knew after going to Bai's house yesterday.As for the previous one, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so naturally he would not talk too much.

"A majestic princess, do you want anything?" After hearing this, the old lady was also angry, and knocked on the lid of the teacup twice, "I'm not ashamed to steal things from others for nothing! That old lady You usually likes to be greedy for petty gains. , the granddaughter who taught her has now learned this temperament..."

Ning Xiuxian leaned against the back of the chair with his legs crossed, with a kind of indifference, "No matter how bad-tempered she is, others will only talk about how the You family is, and they won't talk about you. Why are you angry? The white qi broke the bones of the body."

Jiang pushed him secretly, and said in a low voice, "Mother regards Princess You as her junior."

"But after all, it's not from our own family. She's half of the blood of the You family and half of the royal flesh. It has nothing to do with our Ning family." Ning Xiuxian shook his head, still indifferent, "It's because our Ning family's juniors don't have enough for you to worry about. From another family? If you get along well, walk around, if you don't get along, stay away... I see that the future siblings have a good temper. If you have time, you can talk to her, or go directly to Ji's house for a walk. She said, she Mostly they are free."

The old lady looked at him sideways, but she was a little surprised - this boy, I have never seen him praise a girl's family.

The old lady tentatively said, "You have a good impression of her?"

"Yeah." Ning Xiuxian recalled the girl's face when she took it for granted to testify for her, twitched the corners of her mouth, and concluded, "She's smart. She's a good match for that kid..." Same, Yan'er is bad.

The last few words, in the end I endured it.Since Ning Xiuyuan has said that they are younger siblings, then the sibling's debt must be paid by the younger brother.

Thinking of this, seeing his mother's complexion turned slightly ready to get up and leave, she called her mother again, and said, "Princess You is about to come to see you in the past two days. She has an arrogant temper, and she thinks it's a big shame this time." , I can't swallow this breath, so I will definitely go to Ji Wuyan to get it back. Ji Wuyan is a casual person, and she will definitely not see her, so she has to borrow your face... See you or not, you do it in advance Good decision."

The old lady nodded and sighed, "What's the matter... These young people are still more noisy than the old lady... These days, I've always been a little restless. Could it be because of this... "

Ning Xiuxian got up to send her off, "There's no need to feel restless, even if the whole day is destroyed, our Ningguo Mansion will not be broken, so you can stay at home with peace of mind... It’s raining heavily, and it’s still walking around. Father knows, and he’s going to blame your son and me again.”

Although the words are blunt, they do make sense.The old lady also knew that she was just worrying about it, "Forget it... let them go. Speaking of which, is your third brother coming back soon?"

Ning Xiuxian nodded, "If everything goes well, we'll be back soon."

The old lady nodded, probably because of the rain, she always felt that her heart was in a panic.
