Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 329 Two Elders Compete Over One Daughter

Rumors hurt people the most, and they are also the best weapon for those with a heart.

Today Mrs. Ning said that Guo Wen'an was a "little soldier". Tomorrow, it might be reported how the Ning family made great achievements and did not pay attention to the officials of the imperial court. relationship, but the three become tigers...

And in the eyes of these female relatives, the person who can gossip better than Mrs. Ning is naturally her, Ji Wuyan.The one that attracted more attention than Madam Ning's arrogant remarks was naturally her, Ji Wuyan, who uttered nonsense.

These, the old lady can naturally understand.

Ji Wuyan smiled indifferently, "It's not a big problem. I don't have a few good words on my body, and I don't feel any more gossip. You are different."

The second lady didn't understand, she blinked, but she still didn't understand, so she asked Mrs. Jiang, "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Jiang shook her head, pretending that she didn't know, and the second lady breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't know? Hey... Do you think that sometimes this brother and sister look very serious, but sometimes they look Get up, it seems to be no different from me... Do you feel this way?"

Jiang nodded, it was true.

In fact, she didn't understand this incident at first, she just thought it was about the third master, and Ji Wuyan was a little nervous, but after her mother-in-law said this, she suddenly realized... So there was such a meaning in it.Just like what the second lady said, I suddenly felt that Ji Wuyan was very deep...

"She's not just an ordinary little girl." She smiled and said in a low voice.Can an ordinary little girl win their family's golden and precious third master?

The voices of both of them were low, but they couldn't prevent the distance from each other, and what they said fell into their ears accurately.The old lady patted Ji Wuyan's hand, and asked in a low voice, "My family...are they okay?"

Ji Wuyan squinted his eyes and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and there were fine lines of laughter at the corners of his eyes.

……

The banquet was held in a small hall next to the Golden Luan Hall. It was not small, but compared with the Golden Luan Hall, it was always smaller.The ministers had already arrived, chatting in twos and threes, and the old lady Bai also arrived, holding Shen Luoxin's hand and asking questions.Shen Luoxin's sharp eyes saw Ji Wuyan in the crowd at a glance, she tilted her head and pointed to Old Madam Bai.

From afar, Ji Wuyan could clearly see Mrs. Bai mouthing "Ah yo", turned around and came up to her.As a result, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes became deeper.

"Ah, let me tell you why you are so late, old man... You still go to the harem because of your relationship? You still go to the palace to pay your respects because of your relationship? You just have a lot of things to do!" Mrs. Bai criticized Ning with a suppressed voice. The old lady, two gray-haired old men, beamed like children.

Old Madam Ning was full of disgust, "Even if we have a bad relationship with her, we still have to go to pay your respects to your daughter, right? Otherwise, it will be said that the relationship between our two families is not good!"

"The mouth is on them, you can control what other people say?" Saying that, he waved at Ji Wuyan, "Girl, come and show me, I haven't seen you for so long, and I won't come home Sit down... is everything okay?"

Ji Wuyan smiled and nodded, "Grandmother, everything is fine. Are you in good health?"

"Tough and tough!" Mrs. Bai nodded frequently, pulled Ji Wuyan up and down to look up and down, and finally gave her a squinting look, "You lost weight!"

"No...you're still fat."

Old Madam Bai held her hand and did not let go, "Will you sit with me during the dinner later?"

Mrs. Ning was unwilling, "Why did I sit with you? It's not your Bai family!"

"Why not? Didn't you hear me call me grandma?"

"You call me grandma and you belong to the Bai family? She also calls me Aunt Ning. Besides, she is my future daughter-in-law, so she will sit with me naturally!"

"The future daughter-in-law is also the future, let's talk about it when it really happens!"

"Hey……"

Mrs. Ning wanted to slap her, but she was speechless when she was told by the old sister, her teeth itched for a while, and she reached out to snatch Ji Wuyan. Mrs. Bai had quick eyesight, and hid Ji Wuyan behind her back. Licking her face and grinning, she approached Mrs. Ning, "Hey, old sister... Look at you, everyone belongs to your family, so what's the point of lending me for a while! Besides, if you lend me one, don't you have more?" The two are with you, but I don't have one here...Bai Xing's mother had a stomachache yesterday, she was afraid of making a joke, so she didn't come."

At this point, it's really hard to refuse, so I waved my hand, "That's all! But I have agreed, I have a baby for this girl, you have to take good care of me!"

"Don't worry!" Mrs. Bai waved her hand, holding Ji Wuyan with one hand and pulling Chen Luoxin with the other, and said with a smile on her face, "Let's sit and talk..."

"..." Didn't you agree that no one will accompany you?Old Mrs. Ning shook her head and laughed, but she didn't really care about it. After all, the status of the girl from the Shen family was also embarrassing, so she was more comfortable with Mrs. Bai.She shook her head and laughed, and went to her place, muttering as she walked, "This old guy... is getting more and more shameless."

Ji Wuyan sat down with Mrs. Bai, while Bai Xing waved at her and greeted her with a smile.Sitting next to him was Father Bai. This was the first time Ji Wuyan saw this Master Bai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who was somewhat similar to Bai Xing, calmer and more serious.The other party turned her head to look at it, nodded her head, there was no smile in her eyes, she half rose and saluted.

When he was seated, a thought flashed through Ji Wuyan's mind - it is absolutely impossible for such a person to be completely ignorant of Guo Wen'an's actions for so many years.It's just that I don't know what kind of role he is playing in this matter...

Just as she was thinking, on the other side, Shen Luoxin passed Old Madam Bai and touched Ji Wuyan from behind, asking silently, what's wrong?
Ji Wuyan shook his head and said silently, it's all right.

Shen Luoxin looked outside, the three emperors hadn't come yet, most of the people in the hall were seated at the moment, but they were still chatting in twos and threes, she half raised her body and gathered her skirt, bent down and explained to Old Madam Bai, " Old madam, I... go out." As he spoke, he pointed to the outside, smiled a little embarrassedly, and explained, "I drank too much water before..."

This reason is really perfunctory.

Mrs. Bai didn't doubt it, she just nodded, and said seriously, "If you don't know the way, find a court lady and ask... Don't wander around, come back early, the banquet is about to begin."

"Okay!" Shen Luoxin nodded with a smile, exchanged glances with Ji Wuyan, then turned and walked outside. When she reached the door, she actually recruited a court lady to ask for directions... Ji Wuyan smiled Withdrawing his gaze, he continued talking to the old lady.
