Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 296 Friendship of Gentlemen (Part [-])
"Girl, girl..." Ziqiu trotted all the way into the yard, panting, "Girl, Mr. Bai is here! You've already dismounted, and you're almost here now... These people are real, It was put in right away, if it wasn't for the servants who happened to see it, they would have rushed straight over..."

The chattering little girl was in a hurry, her words didn't matter.Ji Wuyan laughed, turned to look at Ning Xiuyuan, and asked him, "Did you see?"

Bai Xing is a well-known "Ning Xiuyuan party member", and he is also the only person in Yanjing City, other than the Ning family, who seems to have some friendship with Ning Xiuyuan and can sit together, drink and chat.But even so, Ning Xiuyuan shook his head and got up, "He should have heard that you came back and came to see you. I'd better avoid it. Now that something happened to Guo Wen'an, Bai Xing's father is also involved."

Ji Wuyan was surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and teased him with his chin, "Worried that he is between you and his father, and will tell you about your affairs in my yard?"

Ning Xiuyuan patted her head, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "It's not that I'm worried. I just don't want to test people's hearts, which will only increase troubles. Besides, even if Bai Xing chooses to stand by me, if this matter really involves Bai Xing Shang Shu, he will blame himself in his heart, why bother to make people in a dilemma...Okay, he is coming soon, I will go in."

After all, he really walked directly into the house.

Ji Wuyan rested her chin and watched him walk up the steps calmly, and watched him smile and then close the door, that smile was upright and open.In fact, they all know that there is another choice——Ning Xiuyuan saw Bai Xing, and they were here, the two of them drank a cup of tea, chatted about the old days, followed Ning Xiuyuan's way, and took some money from Bai Xing's mouth. Bai Shangshu's matter was almost as easy as one's palm.

But he didn't.

Gu Cuo said that Ning Xiuyuan's heart, liver and lungs are all black, and his elder brother also said roughly the same thing... Now it seems that this person is really a gentleman's friend to Bai Xing.

"Hey! What are you thinking!" As soon as Bai Xing entered the door, he saw Ji Wuyan looking at her own room with his chin resting on his cheeks. His eyes were quite meaningful and weird, so he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her. "Didn't you lose your mind when you fell off the cliff?"

Ji Wuyan opened his hand, rolled his eyelids and looked at him, "You just lost your mind! It's so early in the morning, what are you doing here?"

"Come and have a look at you, Shen Luoxin doesn't want to see me these days, I guess it's my fault..." Bai Xing sat opposite her, looked at a table of half-eaten breakfast, and ate a snack by himself He went to reach for the teapot on the opposite side again, but his mouth was full of pastries and he could still say a word, "It's not too early, isn't it... just went back one! What is that fellow You Feng doing here? Apologize for his daughter Woolen cloth?"

"Bumped into each other?"

"When I came, he had just left, and there were seven or eight servants following the carriage. Those who knew it guessed that he was here to apologize, but those who didn't know, thought he was here to find a place!" As he spoke, he shook his head, and when he lowered his head, it was just right. Seeing the empty bowl in front of him, he tilted his head and looked up, then looked at the bowl in front of Ji Wuyan, murmured and stretched out his hand and handed it to Ziqiu, "Whoever ate this just now didn't clean it up, Is it an ancient house? I really should take care of it... Girl Ziqiu, bring me a new bowl, your Mr. Bai hasn't eaten yet!"

In Ji Wuyan's yard, there has never been any distinction between master and servant, and everyone eats at the same table. It's not surprising that Bai Xing knew about it early on.

From the moment Bai Xing noticed the bowl in front of him, Ziqiu's whole heart began to hang. Hearing this, he almost ran over at a trot, snatched the bowl with an embarrassing smile and hugged it in his arms. Li, "That's right, that kid in the ancient house is getting more and more unruly! This servant is just going to bring you bowls and chopsticks, just wait a moment, wait a moment!"

With that said, he ran away.

Bai Xing looked back at her, his brows were knit together, "What's the matter with this little girl, she's weird. I haven't seen her for a few days, but she has behaved a lot, and she used honorific words with me... Could it be that she Shouldn't you talk back to me, saying that I'm not her family's Bai Gongzi..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ji Wuyan and pointed at himself, "Am I a monster? I'm not used to it!"

"That's right!" The topic suddenly came back to the topic, and Bai Xing remembered one of the main purposes of this trip, "How is your body and bones? Grandma has been worried for several days and hasn't slept well. I heard about you yesterday." When I came back, I slept soundly, I went to see her when I got up, and I haven't woken up yet!"

"It's okay, I just got a little scared." Ji Wuyan used the same rhetoric she used everywhere, "After sleeping for a few days, I feel refreshed a lot. You can bring some soothing incense back home. I don't care about everything here." Not much, but there is a lot of soothing incense, and Aunt Ning can't sleep well, so I made more preparations."

Bai Xing was quick-witted, and he grasped the point at once, and joked with a smile, "Yo, Aunt Ning... the seniority rises so fast... Tsk tsk, I will have to miss you for a generation in the future? Third aunt?"

Ji Wuyan didn't bother to talk to him, rolled his eyes, and didn't answer.

However, Bai Xing was suddenly a little worried, "You said... Ning Xiuyuan, that kid, wouldn't really fall into the water and disappear, right? If he really can't come back... what can you do?"

Ziqiu took the bowls and chopsticks and came over, just when he heard this sentence, he almost turned his left foot into his right foot, finally stabilized his figure, and secretly looked at his girl... The girl is worthy of being a girl, she is very calm, and she also heard the words He just rolled his eyes lazily, "Me? What does it matter to me whether he comes back or not?" After speaking, subconsciously stroked the malachite bracelet on his wrist with his fingertips... His heart trembled slightly.

If he doesn't come back... If he doesn't come back, not to mention Guo Wen'an's life, she has to take it away, even the sky in Yanjing City, she is going to blow it up.There was a slight chill in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just pushed the snack in front of Bai Xing, "Eat it while it's hot."

While eating snacks, Bai Xing was still reminiscing about the topic just now, frowning, he still felt that something was wrong, "Guo Wen'an, I've seen him before. My father's incompetent subordinate, he is self-righteous every day, but it's just Relying on the specious relationship with the East Palace...the ability to flatter horses is indeed not small, but...if you say that people like the third master will follow his way, I don't believe it. Don't worry , maybe in a few days, he will come back."

Fiddled with the bracelet on his wrist with his fingertips, his eyes covered by thick and slender eyelashes carried a faint and gentle smile.

It's not without reason that Bai Xing can live so elegantly and transparently in this big dye vat - he is actually extremely intelligent, extremely sensitive, and also... extremely magnanimous.
