Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 268 Our Business (Part [-])
When Ji Wuyan got up to comb her hair, she heard about this.

At that time, she was combing her hair. After looking at it from the bronze mirror, the boy looked away and stroked the broken hair on his forehead. "Oh? What is he doing here?"

"It is said that she heard the news of Miss Shen's injury and came to pick Miss Shen back to her home. Miss Shen was unwilling, saying that the Shen family was not her home, and now the father and daughter are arguing."

The young servant spoke concisely, condensing those extremely indifferent relatives in these few words.Ji Wuyan knew something about it, but she couldn't come out on her own side. After thinking about it, she finally ordered, "Go find Xu Siniang and explain to her what happened here."

The servant said yes, and when he was about to leave, Ji Wuyan stopped him, "Tell Ziqiu to come here."

……

In view of the fact that Ji Wuyan is a "missing person" now, he still has to do it. Ziqiu will not accompany Ji Wuyan, and the Ji family has also sent many guards out, wandering around the west gate every day. Stop a few passers-by and ask them "have you ever seen a woman who is as tall as a veil, a little thin, and likes to wear long smoke-colored dresses?" After the passers-by shake their heads, they will politely thank them, and then four He looked down and continued to wander, and stopped a passerby after a while, and so on.

Ziqiu was the one who stayed at home and waited for news.

It's just that today's Ziqiu girl obviously doesn't have the superb acting skills as last night, and she looks quite absent-minded and shy...

Things went back to about an hour ago, when Cen Yan was about to go out for a walk in the name of "looking for someone" and have breakfast by the way, he met Ziqiu who seemed a bit idle and had a tiger face because he didn't have to wait on the girl.Ziqiu didn't wait to see Cen Yan since yesterday, so Cen Yan knew it, so seeing him now, he was a little flattered, he licked his face and giggled, and asked, "What is Miss Ziqiu doing?"

Ziqiu didn't enter the door, so he folded his arms and pulled his neck, "I'm here to ask you something for the girl...she asked you, have you finished the wood carving?"

Cen Yan was startled, and carefully asked while hitting Quan Qiu, "Did the girl really ask you to ask?"

"Yeah." Ziqiu nodded, a little weird because of Cen Yan's tentative behavior, "What's so weird about the wood carving?" She knew that Cen Yan always liked to carve small things, and she was interested in it at first, but The ones who were nothing more than kittens, dogs, and birds gradually lost interest.

Ziqiu also asked Cen Yan, when he has nothing to do, he can just squat on the steps and watch the sky and the earth count ants, why do he have to toss about these logs? , why bother?

But Cen Yan said that woodcarving is to maintain the sensitivity of fingertips and wrists to strength and angle.After hearing the reason, Ziqiu became less and less interested in these woodcarvings.In her eyes, they are like boring sword manuals and military books one after another.

Now it seems that these sword manuals and military books are weird?When I became interested, I pushed Cen Yan to go in, "What do you carve recently, let me have a look."

"Hey!" Cen Yan hurried in, stepped a few steps to the door and stretched out his hands to block the door, "No, there is nothing to see, you are not interested!"

Ziqiu stood opposite him with his arms akimbo, "I have it now, can't you? Get out of the way! You are now a disabled person, you can't beat me! Besides, this is the girl who asked me to ask about your woodcarving. I always have to personally It’s good to reply after seeing it, right?”

Cen Yan had one head and two big ones, "You were not interested before, so I gave Ji Feng all the carvings, you have to look for Ji Feng! If you want, wait a few days until I recover from my injury, and then I will carve for you." One...but now I don't have to look at it."

"I don't want to see what you are doing blocking the door?" Ziqiu obviously didn't believe it, but on the contrary, he became more and more determined that the wood carving had weird ideas.

"I, I... It's too messy inside. I haven't had time to clean up the dirty clothes and trousers. You're a girl. It's not good to go in..." After finishing speaking, he nodded vigorously. He believed it himself, "Well, that's it."

"That's right... In that case, it's really not easy to go in. Then I'll go back to the girl and tell you that you've finished carving?" As he spoke, he tilted his head and pointed at the gate of the courtyard, "Then, then I'll go first ?” As he spoke, he really turned around.

Cen Yan heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly lowered his hands... He thought to himself, the girl will reveal her secrets if she says a few words about herself, but now it seems that she is quite adaptable!

This thought fell down, Ziqiu, who had already turned to leave, suddenly turned around again, she smiled at Cen Yan, and Cen Yan only saw the other party's shining white teeth in a daze, and then saw her fiercely He pushed open the door behind him and rushed in...

"Ziqiu!"

But it was too late, Ziqiu had already rushed into the small room.

For a moment, Cen Yan felt that the thing he regretted the most was that he chose such a room with simple facilities and small space for convenience, so that when Ziqiu rushed into the room, he could see it at a glance. I saw the small wooden statue on my closet.

Not a cat, not a dog, not a bird, but a person.

Although the original purpose of woodcarving was to maintain the sensitivity of fingertips and wrists to strength and angles, over the past few years, the carvers have naturally become proficient, not to mention vivid, but to say that they are lifelike, there is no problem at all.

Therefore, the carefree Ziqiu girl's first reaction was to point to the little statue and laugh, "Cen Yan, Cen Yan, it turns out to be such a secret, let me see for you, the girl who thinks about it day and night ……Who on earth is it……"

The aftertaste has not dissipated.

Ziqiu had already fixed himself in the same place, as if someone had tapped his acupoints.The expression of secret joy was still on his face, but his whole body suddenly turned white and rosy like a cooked shrimp. He looked at the ceiling at a loss to see the ants moving on the ground, and finally laughed "hehe, hehe", while laughing, While sneaking out...

"Then what, I, I, I suddenly remembered that there is still something to do with the girl, I, I, I will go first!" As he said, he ran for the door and fled.

Did not escape successfully.

When he turned around, his wrist was grabbed.

The temperature transmitted through the clothes made people tremble, Ziqiu didn't dare to turn his head, "You, what are you doing? I still have to serve the girl!"

"The girl has been hiding these few days. If you go to her place, it will be easy to reveal your secrets. It's better if you don't go." Cen Yan firmly restrained the other party with one hand, and the embarrassment just disappeared, and he looked down at Ziqiu His eyes, like a hunter finally found the best prey, are greedy, fierce, and dangerous. He licked the back of his teeth and chuckled, "While you are free, let's talk about... our business."
