Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 303 Love Doesn't Know Where It Begins, It Gets Deeper ([-]rd)
Ning Xiuyuan doesn't care whether the Ye family is a man or not, after all, he is not familiar with the Ye family.

But obviously, someone doesn't think so. She always remembers that Ning Xiuyuan stepped in to sabotage her plan. If it weren't for him, Ning Xiuyuan, Yang Shaofei probably wouldn't have died, at least not in such a public view. Fengchenju will not be forced to close its doors and go out of business. How much of the white money has flowed out? If my elder brother finds out, I don't know how to talk about myself...

She raised her foot and kicked Ning Xiuyuan's stool leg, and snorted, "At that time, why were you so focused on marrying Ye Yang's family?"

With a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, Master Di Shi remembered his own handwriting back then, and naturally also remembered the many difficulties he had made against Ji Wuyan before.He looked around and said to him, "It's just... bored for a while."

"Bored for a while? Are you Ning Xiuyuan a person who is bored and wants to be a matchmaker enthusiastically?" Ji Wuyan smiled lazily with the corners of his mouth pulled, and he didn't eat the pine nuts. Well, it’s better to be less interested in the future. When you are in a mood, do what you want, but my Fengchenju suffers from it, and it’s fine to close the door for more than a month, but I have no income, and I have to spend money to support it. There are many people, and such a big place... Those who know it say that Fengchen is rich and powerful, but those who don't know think that our money is not coming from the right place..."

The little girl was annoyed that this lip service was really unforgiving, obviously Song Yuanqing came to the door again and again to beg Fengchenju to open the door, but she refused with all kinds of high-sounding excuses, now it is him who is to blame.

Ning Xiuyuan shook his head and laughed, "Yes, yes... the villain's fault, Boss Ji, don't blame him. In this way, how much money was lost when Fengchenju was closed and closed a while ago, you report the amount, and the small ones will be doubled to you. how?"

oh?Ji Wuyan raised an eyebrow, Ning Xiuyuan... is quite rich!Relying on the emperor's teacher's salary alone, I'm afraid I can't afford it...

She dragged a stool to get closer, and asked with a playful smile, "Ill-gotten gains?"

Ning Xiuyuan was too lazy to pay attention to her incomprehensible appearance, and handed her the pine nuts in his hand, in order to explain his original words and deeds, "The cunning rabbit dies, but the lackey cooks. Over the years, the power of the Duke of Ning has faintly overwhelmed her." Zuo Xiangfu... if things go on like this, sooner or later the achievements will be overwhelming."

"The Yang family originally belonged to the Eastern Palace, and the wife of the Ye family was the queen's handkerchief... Well, the water is a bit muddy. Only the one who sits behind the royal case in the palace thinks that my Ning family is still useful. ..."

He has gentle eyebrows and eyes, and he is patiently peeling the pine nuts while talking, and his slender fingertips are doing such a thing very nicely.

However, these words are somewhat "rebellious".

Ji Wuyan was not surprised, but was surprised by his relationship with the emperor. He paused with his fingertips, twisted a pine nut and looked at Ning Xiuyuan, "I thought...you have a very good relationship with the emperor. I heard it was him Against all odds, you became the emperor's teacher..."

"Silly girl..." He stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, "The reason why the emperor helped me up was to let me check and balance the left prime minister, the east palace...to deal with his own son. The royal family's family affection is like this, let alone the monarch and ministers."

Everyone knows that Ning Xiuyuan is the emperor's confidant, and he is a proper emperor's party. The entire Ningguo government has always been neutral and never stood in line, only loyal to His Majesty today.

The world is convinced of this, and maybe even the emperor himself believes it.

Only the parties themselves, don't believe it.

Ji Wuyan put the pine nut kernel that had been hanging for a long time on his fingertips into his mouth, and then sighed softly, "The feeling of being in the muddy water... really is suffocating. I really like Jiangnan, where the mountains are high and the waters are far away. Unfettered."

Ning Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled, "Yes, my family Ning Ning was raised very well in Jiangnan."

"When did it become your family?"

"A long time ago." He smiled, with a bewitching soft light in his eyes, he looked at Ji Wuyan, and murmured softly word by word, gently but firmly, "I don't know where the love started, and it went deeper and deeper."

Ji Wuyan was slightly taken aback, looked in astonishment, fell straight into the other party's line of sight, and suddenly lost her mind... It wasn't until a small handful of pine nuts were stuffed in her palm that she suddenly regained her senses, and her whole body turned red in an instant Burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, fleeing in a hurry...

……

The missing person, Ning Xiuyuan, was hiding in Ji Wuyan's yard, but the muddy water outside had been turned upside down.

Ning Xiuxian led people to find an account book in the home of Guo Wen'an, the servant of the Ministry of Industry. On the account book, the gold and silver he had conspired over the years were written in detail one by one, and the amount shocked the government and the public.The emperor was furious, and angrily reprimanded the minister of the Ministry of Industry for his ineffectiveness, fined him three years of salary, and demoted him to the post of minister of the Ministry of Industry, temporarily replacing Guo Wen'an.

In this way, the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is vacant, and the forces of all parties are almost squeezing their heads and racking their brains to think about how to elect their own people to the position.

However, the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of letting people go up, but rather planned to stay on the sidelines and watch the fish eat away.

And Mr. Ning, who set off this monstrous wave with his own power, was either playing chess with Ji Wuyan under the moon, or painting in the corridor, or else, looking for his favorite ancient books in the library of the tower.

During this period, Ji Wuyan went to Fengchenju a few times, watched the dance performed by the dancers, but did not see Ruoshui. It seemed that whenever she passed by, Ruoshui was not there by "coincidentally".

Zhao Yun said that Ruoshui chose a piece of music that she was not good at, nor was she in her own style. She did practice hard on weekdays, but she always felt that it lacked some charm, and it probably didn't work out in the end.

Ben didn't intend to let her shine.

Ruoshui is still too young to understand that in such an occasion, being too flashy is a mistake in itself.In an occasion where there seems to be harmony and mutual compliments, under the pressure of various forces, there is no such thing as the blockbuster ending and the subsequent recognition she wants—no one really bothers to watch a dance, listen to a tune.

Even, the food and wine at the banquet may not taste anything.

And after that, she was still waiting for the imperial concubine's criticism.

That's why Ji Wuyan persuaded Ruoshui not to bring Fuxiqin, she was worried that that piano would become the target of public criticism again.

That's all... That girl was frustrated in love, so she probably wouldn't listen to her advice.Ji Wuyan could only tell Chaoyun to take good care of him and not to make any major mistakes.At that time, she will enter the palace with Ning Xiuyuan. If there are some minor ailments, the noble concubine must not make too much trouble in public.

As time passed day by day, Guo Wen'an was about to be escorted back to Beijing, and the years-long flood problem in Yingzhou was about to come to an end...

But no one thought that a huge wave suddenly surged without warning...
