Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 245 You Are Satisfied With My Disordered Look (Third Watch)

The secret guard had already set off with Ning Xiuren's papers, and Mrs. Ning had already given Ning Xiuren an account.

Ji Wuyan breathed a sigh of relief. It was only at this time that she realized that her legs were so weak, and the violent beating in her chest made her feel exhausted.

She leaned on the edge of the table to support her body, and smiled wryly... Ning Xiuyuan, you once said that you wanted to see me mess up because of you... Are you satisfied with what you are doing now?
Gucuo followed Ji Wuyan from the beginning to the end, watching Ji Wuyan go to Ning's house without hesitation, taking off the veil to reveal his identity without hesitation, he stopped talking several times, and finally it was He opened his mouth and asked, "Girl... Ning Xiuyuan is missing, and the Ning family will naturally not ignore it. Even if Ning Xiuren doesn't believe it, he will definitely send someone to investigate. Why...why expose yourself...is it worth it?"

"He saved me twice, and I'll pay him back once." Ji Wuyan didn't explain much, but just replied lightly, "It's worth it."

Ji Wuyan didn't want to say more, so Gucuo didn't want to ask any more, so he just poured a cup of tea and said, "The dark guard will arrive in a few days, if it's fast, there will be news within ten days."

Ji Wuyan nodded silently, and then ordered, "The evidence that my brother sent before, you take it to Ning Xiuxian."

The ancient house was surprised, "Girl? Is the Ning family really so reliable? The matter in Yingzhou involves too many aspects. Zuo Xiang, Bai's family, and Ning's family, who must be innocent? Girl... you should also know, now Not the best time."

"I know." Ji Wuyan nodded, "It's just that once the news of Ning Xiuyuan's disappearance is reported to Yanjing City, the city will be in chaos... At that time, the power of the Ning family will definitely be impacted, and Prime Minister Zuo will definitely take the opportunity to suppress it."

Therefore, at this time, exposing Zuo Xiang and the Ministry of Industry's corruption and enriching their own pockets made Zuo Xiang and his gang in a hurry to take care of themselves, in order to protect the Ning family.

Gu Cuo sighed lowly, did he not ask the question "Is it worth it?"... Although the little girl can weigh the pros and cons, she also defends her weaknesses and is unreasonable.It's just that at some point, Ning Xiuyuan became her "short".

Feeling a little lonely in my heart, I finally replied in a low voice, "Okay. I'll go right away... You don't have to worry too much. The Ning family is not an easy character to deal with even today. Prime Minister Zuo took the opportunity to suppress all of them. Years ago, isn't it still a huge monster that no one can shake in the court? But you girl, with thin arms and legs, can't help much, and the most important thing is to have a good rest."

"Hmm..." Ji Wuyan held a teacup to warm her hands, but in early autumn, her limbs were as cold as ice.

No matter how innocent he looked on the surface, he couldn't lie to himself. If he didn't find something to do, the heart in his chest would probably jump out. How could he rest well?

But she didn't want to say it, she just ordered with a pale face, "The sky is cloudy, you should go and return quickly."

Gucuo took the thick stack of envelopes, got up and went to Ning's house.

Some things... With Ji Wuyan's confession and exposure, maybe there will be no going back.At least, Ji Wuyan's identity was exposed in front of the Ning family after all.When the storm came, she chose to stand in front of the Ning family, and left them with a defenseless back, but she didn't know, the Ning family... was it worth it?

After thinking about it, Gucuo ordered Cen Yan to write a letter and send it to Shangguan Chu.

After Gucuo left, Ziqiu came in and sat for a while, holding Xiaoyuan in his arms, trying to distract Ji Wuyan.However, no matter how the cat acted coquettishly to make fun of it, Ji Wuyan just reached out and stroked its head, feeling sleepy.

She looked extremely tired, and she didn't sit for a while, so she asked Ziqiu to go out on the pretext of being lazy, saying that she wanted to sleep for a while.But after getting on the bed, he stared at the curtain in a daze with his eyes open again, listening to the beating in his chest very clearly.

Qian Nanny called her softly outside and asked her if she would like to eat.

She said she wanted to drink porridge, fresh meat and vegetable leaf porridge, and Mammy made it. Ji Wuyan ate a full bowl, and when she wiped her mouth, she smiled with her eyebrows closed, as if everything looked very normal, and then ...extraordinarily abnormal.

There, Duke Ningguo's mansion welcomed Ji's guests for the second time today.

It's just that this time, unfortunately, Ning Xiuxian was not here.

The ancient house waited for half an hour before Ning Xiuxian came back from the outside. The two talked for half an hour in the study, and the servants saw their uncle respectfully send him to the gate, and even watched him off. The carriage disappeared at the end of the road.

When Ning Xiuxian turned to enter the mansion, he met Mr. Ning Guogong who had gone out to visit friends and had a drink. The two went to the study together, drank a cup of tea, and talked about some things. Finally, Ning Xiuxian sighed softly, "Father .Third brother, this is... I found a baby bump."

This was said by Ning Xiuxian standing at the door, and everyone in the house heard it. It spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon spread outside Ningguo's mansion... Baby lump, what is it?But no one knows.

However, to make the eldest and youngest of the Ning family, who is used to seeing good things, express such emotion, it must be a peerless treasure.

The old lady used the decoction brought back from Ji Wuyan, drank a cup before going to bed, went to bed early, and slept well, and when she woke up in the morning, she felt refreshed and radiant.

She belatedly remembered that it wasn't the medicine she took after a fall, but it seemed that the third child had brought it back from Ji's house.Before, she wanted to come to the door to say thank you, but it was delayed... With this in mind, she ordered Nanny Han to go to the storeroom to prepare a good set of buns, and asked Ji Wuyan to take them back when offering incense.

But Ji Wuyan didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, when the sky was still gray, when Nanny Qian, who was cleaning the yard, saw the girl walking out of the house, she felt so distressed that she twitched.

The girl was still wearing yesterday's clothes, her hair was not messed up, her face was already fairer than ordinary people, and there was not even a trace of blood in it, but now there were two clear bluish bruises.

She didn't know what happened, and she wouldn't ask.

He just dropped the broom in his hand and went up to meet him, rubbed the girl's cold hands in his palms, let out a sigh, and put them in his arms, "Girl, it's already very cold in the early autumn morning. Put on more, you see your hands are cold...sit quickly, sit down..."

Qian Momo led Ji Wuyan to the chair beside her and sat down, then looked at the sky, the girl usually got up late, so she probably didn't have breakfast in the dining room, and if she went to do it, it would be a waste of time. After thinking about it, Ji Wuyan smiled, "The girl is from Jiangnan, so... have you ever eaten salty tofu nao?"
