Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 36

In the past, there was Fengchen Jutai Pillar, which had a startling opening, and Ji Wuyan's casual work was highly praised by Master Bai, so no girls were willing to "show their ugly face".

Left and right will not be cold.

The girls were even more busy secretly competing with each other, fiddling with their sitting positions, trying to present the most perfect angle in front of the rare young master Bai.

However, Young Master Bai only cared about eating melons and fruits, and occasionally turned his head and whispered to Ning Xiuyuan. While talking, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! That guy Lu Jiangjiang... lost his way again!"

Saying that, he got up and ran away like a whirlwind...

The girls who were racking their brains to change their positions were dumbfounded...

Ning Xiuyuan, on the other hand, was still sitting there, but Third Master Ning didn't look at anyone, just closed his eyes, didn't even hold a teacup, and seemed to be asleep.In addition, Third Master Ning's reputation is too great, and it is rumored that he is a moody person. Even if the girls want to marry into Duke Ning's mansion, they will definitely not dare to provoke him.

Even, in fact, everyone subconsciously felt that this giant Buddha... was probably going to die alone. After all, looking around, it seemed that no one was worthy of the third master of the Ning family.

The big Buddha is only suitable for being offered in the temple to receive the incense of this world, it is really not suitable for stepping into the world of mortals.

Subconsciously, everyone even lowered their voices a lot.

As for the old lady, she still held onto Ji Wuyan and did not let go. She wanted to ask a lot, but she couldn't ask if the occasion was inappropriate.In addition, she herself didn't know whether she wanted an affirmative or a negative answer, and in the end she just ordered her food and clothing warmly.

The time for a cup of tea passed, but Bai Xing who ran away yelling at Lu Jiangjiang still didn't come back.In the flower hall, there is a giant Buddha that can only be seen from a distance. The atmosphere is suppressed and low, like clouds sweeping in layers in a dull afternoon, with damp moisture, making people feel that there is something blocked in their breathing.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the wives exchanged glances with each other, found some excuses tacitly, and said goodbye. Before leaving, they did not forget to say goodbye to Ruoshui and Ji Wuyan, and by the way, like Fengchenju, they threw out the next invitation olive branch.

In the same room as Ning Xiuyuan, Ji Wuyan was already on pins and needles, and she also got up to leave immediately. The old lady was still waiting to stay and talk about herself while everyone was gone, but after thinking about it, she felt that she was just seeing her for the first time after all, which was a bit abrupt , all this girl is in Fengchenju, and there will be a long time to come, so she told the mother to send her off.

Unexpectedly, Ning Xiuyuan got up suddenly, and cupped his hands towards the old lady, "This junior is about to go back to the house, Madam, please stay, Miss Ji...just let this junior see you off."

"No need."

Ji Wuyan had rejection written all over his face, and was racking his brains to think of an excuse, but the old lady seemed particularly happy to see the result, and immediately agreed, "That's fine, then I will leave this child to you."

As he spoke, he stroked Ji Wuyan's hair again, pinned a strand of her hair behind her ear, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Yaoer of the Ning family is rumored to be very powerful, but he is actually a very nice person." Very enthusiastic, much more reliable than my brat. Go..."

Very nice and enthusiastic...

Ji Wuyan really can't use these five words on Ning Xiuyuan, at least, the three words "very enthusiastic" run counter to "Ning Xiuyuan".

But the old lady has said so, if she resists too much, firstly, she will not give the old lady face, secondly, it will appear abrupt, and there is no taste of 300 taels of silver here, so I can only bite the bullet and laugh at it. , when he said goodbye and turned around, he saw Ning Xiuyuan adjusted his sleeves with lowered eyebrows and eyes, revealing a piece of Buddhist bead bracelet on his wrist, tied with a small tassel of the same color. , but it has been covered by the cuff, and it is not seen at all.

Walking out of the flower hall, no one spoke all the way.

Shen Luoxin wanted to say it, but because of Ning Xiuyuan's great reputation, she didn't dare to say a word. There is such a kind of person in this world who doesn't need to say a word or make an expression, just be quiet Stuck there, people are so nervous that they hold their breath - even Shen Lewei, who is as reckless as Shen Lewei, also looks like he has died down after Ning Xiuyuan entered the flower hall.

In the silence, someone suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "Ah!"

Breaking the silence was a little abrupt.It was Fuxiqin who was holding her from the beginning to the end, following step by step, Ruoshui who had no sense of presence, she lowered her head and rubbed her waist, looked up with an expression on the verge of tears, "I, my jade pendant...that is my mother left me of……"

Looking at Ji Wuyan, then at Shen Luoxin, she begged with a bitter face, "Miss Shen, will you accompany me to look for it?"

Shen Luoxin didn't know her well, but it was easy to understand why she chose Shen Luoxin in the end. With Ruoshui's status, she obviously didn't dare to let Ning Xiuyuan wait for her, and Ning Xiuyuan obviously wanted to be with Ji Wuyan On the balance, Ruoshui, who has no master, will choose Shen Luoxin to accompany her.

Shen Luoxin couldn't refuse, so she didn't think too much about it, "That's fine... Wuyan can wait for us in the carriage first."

So... Isn't it just me and Ning Xiuyuan left?
Ji Wuyan turned her head, and bent over with the gentlest, most appropriate and most false smile in her life, "After all, it is a precious jade pendant, and it will be easier to find if there are many people. How about...Master Ning go first?"

"It doesn't matter, since I promised the old lady to send the girl out, a man must always keep his word and keep his promise. Besides, what the girl said is true, and if there are many people, you can find it quickly. I will look for it with you." , bowed his head and stroked his cuffs again.

Ning Xiuyuan now fully demonstrated the old lady's evaluation of him - very enthusiastic.

It's just that others wouldn't dare to bear such enthusiasm, at least, Ji Wuyan felt that he couldn't bear it.She glanced at Ruoshui, but no one saw the dim light in her eyes, she only ordered softly, "Don't worry, look around this mansion carefully. I'll wait for you in the carriage first."

"Yeah!" Ruoshui who was about to cry anxiously pulled Shen Luoxin and ran away.

Ji Wuyan and Ning Xiuyuan were left alone.

Unfamiliar.

A temptation, a defense.

Obviously walking side by side, Ji Wuyan looks like she can't wait to have the word "resistance" written all over her body.

The corners of Ning Xiuyuan's mouth curled slightly, and he called out in a low voice, "Miss Ji." His voice was slightly cool, and it sounded like a bowl of sour plum soup handed to him when he just started taking a nap in the midsummer heat in the afternoon.

In the chest, there was a sudden jump.

No matter how guarded and vigilant she was, she wished she could stay away from this man, but Ji Wuyan still had to admit that this man...even his voice was almost perfect.

Can……

Zhi Duo is close to a demon, although he is not necessarily an enemy, he is definitely not a comrade in arms.

Try not to be an enemy, but absolutely have to defend.

Her fingertips curled up slightly, she didn't look at Ning Xiuyuan, she just lowered her head to leave the other's slightly confused head, and asked very docilely, "What orders does Master Ning have?"
