Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 38 Poor acting skills
Bai Xing's drinking capacity is light, but he also drank a little. He doesn't look drunk, he just leans back in his chair lazily and asks, "Who is that? Who is it again?"

Lu Jiangjiang froze all of a sudden, his closed eyes seemed to be clear, he slowly retracted his upturned leg, turned around to look at Bai Xing, and murmured in a particularly deep and slow tone, "It's already gone!" So the Crown Princess... Shangguan Yuan."

The wine jar in his hand was placed beside him, and he seemed to be extremely tired, covering the ground, hugging his knees, and then buried his face in it.

For some reason, Bai Xing suddenly felt that the wind blowing in the corridor was a bit cold.

Since he is a deceased person, Bai Xing really doesn't know what to say.What's more, according to the rumors in the market, he also listened to some, and fell silent for a while.

Lu Jiangjiang didn't know whether he was drunk or sober, the voice buried in his knees was a bit obscure, and he seemed extremely depressed, "The royal family...what's so good about it."

There is a hint of desolation.

Bai Xing opened his eyes and looked at the past, but his eyes were a little bit confused. He blinked a little hard, but saw that the other party had raised his head from his knees, leaning against the railing, and shrugged like a second-generation ancestor, " Oh, I forgot that your aunt is also a member of the royal family. She is still in the palace."

The crepe dances lightly as the breeze rises.

After drinking some alcohol, the two of them, whose nerves were a little sluggish, didn't notice the slightly hunched figure at the gate of the courtyard, turned around and left quietly.

After a long time, Bai Xing closed his eyes and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

I don't know whether it should be the previous sentence or the latter sentence.

The small yard suddenly became quiet, no one was drinking, no one was talking, and everyone was silent.

……

Summer evenings in northern China always come earlier than those in southern China.

The scorching heat was still unbearable just now, now that the dusk is gradually rising, there is a bit of refreshing coolness in the wind.

The warm orange light is divided into fine halos by the branches above the head. In such an atmosphere, it can always easily evoke the softest thoughts in my heart.The old lady Bai sighed for a long time, and asked the nurse beside her, "That child... her surname is Ji. Tell me... could it be hers..."

"There are more than ten million people with the surname Ji in this world."

"But the child said that his ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River..."

"But you and that lady's ancestral home is outside Saibei."

"Can……"

The old lady was about to say something, but the nurse next to her finally cut her off with a sigh, "If you look for plausible clues to prove that she is the grandchild of that lady, you will always find some unreliable evidence to prove that she is the grandson of that lady. Convince yourself. But... Although the facts are cruel, I still want to remind you that the lady only has one granddaughter, and she lives in the East Palace..."

That's right...it was caught in the fire in the East Palace.

The last bit of anticipation in his eyes finally faded away, and the old man with white hair and childlike face seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and there was a sadness that everything was over.

The sunset fell quickly, and the light became dimmer, so that the cobblestone path in front of me seemed a little unclear.

"What am I expecting..."

"The doctor said that your mental state is not very good recently."

"It's okay...the royal family...it's really nothing good..."

The voice dissipated into the wind, erratic and inaudible, only the person who said these words was oppressed by the helplessness that no one could complain about.

……

Shen Luoxin originally planned to stay in Fengchenju for dinner before leaving. By the way, today, when I accompanied Ruoshui to find Yupei, there were some unusual details. The maid who came to Shen's house to take care of her mother paced back and forth with her hands in her hands, stretching her neck to look around from time to time, obviously waiting anxiously.

When I asked, it was said that my parents were fighting.

At that moment, Shen Luoxin had no choice but to leave in a hurry, because of Ruoshui's presence, she didn't even leave a word to Ji Wuyan.

When it was time for dinner, he sent a maid over when he had time, and what he said was exactly what Ji Wuyan thought—at that time, Ruoshui dragged Shen Luoxin along a road that he had never taken before, around a remote place. After walking around the artificial lake, and taking a detour on a path where there were no servants, she finally found her jade pendant in a corner.

In Shen Luoxin's words, "Anyone can see that she is looking for Yupei as a cover, but I don't know why she made such a big circle."

why...

Ji Wuyan's first reaction was that there was something in the Bai family that was worth her trouble to enter, and she took advantage of the dropped jade pendant to go around, but after thinking about it, it was wrong. If that was the case, she wouldn't take Shen Luoxin with her. .

The rest may be... Ruoshui is probably from Ning Xiuyuan.It's just that Ning Xiuyuan's people have such poor acting skills?

Ji Wuyan couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she didn't think too much about it. Anyway, she just waited and watched the opponent's next move.

After thanking her, she asked the maid again, "How is the Shen family?"

The servant girl is a lively one, and she chuckled when she heard the words, and didn't take it seriously, "It's okay, it's okay, girl, don't worry, there are common things...to rejoice with friends."

Happy friends?

The word is somewhat unexpected.

The little maid was like a chirping sparrow, and with a few words, she shook off the rumors of the Shen family that were already well-known and had no secrets at all, but were still somewhat unfamiliar to Ji Wuyan who had just entered Yanjing City.

As we all know, there is a dominatrix in the Yushi doctor's family, known as Xu Siniang.It is the "childhood sweetheart, Huanxi Enemy" that Shen Lao hits on when he was young, and Shen Qian, Mr. Shen, used to be named Shen Dingtou.It's just that the name was changed before he took the scientific examination, because he couldn't accept that such a name was nominated on the gold list.

Yes, Mr. Shen never had the slightest doubt that he was able to be named on the gold list.

But... there is Xu Siniang.

Mr. Shen took great pains to hide or even erase the traces of "not decent", and there was always Xu Siniang's loud voice to publicize it on his behalf, so that... everyone in Yanjing City knows that Mr. Shen, the doctor of imperial history, is called Shen Dingtou, over forty years old, likes to wear flowery trousers, likes to pick his feet before going to bed, and picks his teeth when eating. Many of his articles, which are praised by scholars all over the world, were born in the toilet.

It really is an interesting article.

In short, the aloof doctor Yushi... suddenly became close to the people.

The two of them have been arguing for so many years, and the people of Yanjing City have watched the excitement for so many years. Even the nobles in the palace know that there is a tigress wielding two knives in Dr. Yushi's house... who can't be messed with.

However, Doctor Yu Shi felt that he had lost all face, and was forced to move out from the original Shen family with his concubine.

At that time, none of the servants were taken away, but Xu Siniang was born to be strong, so she drove them all away in a few days. Mr. Shen felt that the other party was unreasonable, and had a big fight on the spot. This is how we came to the current situation .
