Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 474 Provocation (one more)
"Ziqiu, see off the guests."

She kept saying "Junzhu, Junzhu", seemingly respectful, but after careful study, she found that the tone of her calling "Junzhu" was the same as that of calling "Ziqiu".

In her eyes, the dignity of the princess is no different from her maidservant.

Sometimes You Lingxi couldn't help but wonder whether Ji Wuyan's pride, which seems to be engraved in his bones, is the ignorance of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or the confidence after he really has something to rely on?
Seeing that she is a smart woman, to be favored by Duke Ning, she is not a stupid person, but sometimes she does not appear to be very clever.She can't see through.

Ji Wuyan held the teacup and did not put it down, the teacup in his hand had a feeling of deja vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

You Lingxi frowned and thought, the servant girl had already come out of the room, and she was waiting with lowered eyebrows, just waiting for her to get up and leave.

I didn't come here on a special trip, and I said some things that I didn't have, and those who said it were heartbreaking, but those who listened seemed to be indifferent.You Lingxi did not raise his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the teacup, and he called out, "Ji Wuyan. Everyone said that the third master of the Ning family is kind-hearted but cruel. I didn't think it was... now it suddenly dawned on me that it was true. Ji Wuyan, you are not yet married, and there are many variables. I hope you... won't become the next me."

After finishing speaking, she smiled with lip-smacking, mocking endlessly, "A daughter of a merchant... Can she really get married as she wishes? I'll wait and see..."

Not a blessing, but a curse.

Ziqiu's eyes widened, and he raised his hand as a "please" gesture, "Princess..."

"What does it have to do with Ning Xiuyuan?" Ji Wuyan frowned slightly, and looked up from above the teacup.

You Lingxi paused when she got up, and looked at Ji Wuyan in disbelief, "You...you don't know?"

"What should I know?"

Ji Wuyan's appearance really doesn't look like she's pretending, she really doesn't seem to be aware of this matter... After realizing this, You Lingxi only felt a throbbing pain in her chest, which was not so clear and severe, but faintly spread along the blood to her limbs and bones, and all the strength in her body was sucked out.

She looked at Ji Wuyan with despair and bitterness in her eyes, "Otherwise, do you think...why did this edict of marriage come without warning?"

Ji Wuyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was natural, "If the royal family wants to win over the Chen family, marriage is naturally the best way."

As a royal girl, marriage has never been up to her. Now that she is married to the Chen family in the south of the Yangtze River, she is also considered a married woman. After she goes to the Chen family, the Chen family will definitely treat her as a guest. As long as she doesn't do too much herself, it will not be difficult for her to think about it.

Except... not the man of your dreams.

But in this world...everything can't go smoothly.Ji Wuyan smiled and didn't take it seriously. Over there, You Lingxi raised her voice and looked at Ji Wuyan and growled, "Then why must it be me?! Even though the royal family has no daughters of the right age, isn't it common for the emperor to recognize a folk daughter as a princess? Besides, the royal family has no daughters of the right age but a son of the right age. Even if there is no one, why didn't the emperor marry the daughter of the Chen family himself, and insisted that I marry the son of the Chen family? It's not because of him Ning Xiuyuan!"

This is the most hurtful part, this is the desperation of her tossing and turning tears wet pillow towel!
What did Ning Xiuyuan do?When Ning Xiuyuan went to Fengchenju to pick him up yesterday, he did say something about returning from the palace... At that time, he didn't ask much. It's not unusual for an important court official to go to the palace.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He just put down the teacup with his eyebrows closed, "The princess has no real evidence, so it's better not to talk nonsense... It's His Majesty who made the decree. Even though Ning Xiuyuan is working in the court, he can't influence His Majesty's thoughts."

"Can't be left or right?" You Lingxi smiled idiotically, her eyes that were already swollen were half hidden at the moment, and the teardrops of big beans were hanging on the lower eyelashes.The corners of his mouth were grinning, but his eyes were cold, "Who doesn't know that Ning Xiuyuan's skills are so powerful, but it's just an imperial decree to bestow marriage, how can he not get it? Ji Wuyan... don't be complacent, and don't laugh at me. Now it's me, maybe...you will be next!"

He cursed like gnashing his teeth.

This princess really... didn't listen to a word.

Ji Wuyan shook his head, looked at You Lingxi, who was obviously emotionally unstable, and was about to send her away, but saw Ning Xiuyuan stepping in, obviously listening to all these words, his face was slightly cold, his voice was colder than his face, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of autumn rain.

Holding a black oil-paper umbrella and wearing a long black robe, he stood in the autumn rain on the porch and looked up, only making his face look colder and paler, as if stained with frost.He looked at You Lingxi, and said slowly, "Yes... the imperial decree of marriage was indeed requested by the official. But is the princess really not half conscious about it? Princess, over the years, you have taken advantage of the silence of my Ningguo mansion to do a lot of convenience. Although I don't like it, but for the sake of my mother, it will pass. But you should never, ever, encourage Chen Jiahui to come to Ji's house to make trouble... You Lingxi, I am not very good-tempered, and I don't care too much when I do it Out of face, let alone any men and women...Since you and Chen Jiahui share the same ambitions, why not marry Qin and Jin? In this way, your You family can solve His Majesty's worries and problems...It really kills two birds with one stone. "

You Lingxi's face was even whiter than Ning Xiuyuan's.

Her eyes were red and her face was pale, making her look like a ghost in a drawing book.She lowered her head, bit the corner of her mouth, twisted the veil in her hand and stubbornly refused to look at anyone. After a while, her figure swayed.

After all, it was the person she had been secretly in love with for many years. She was not there just now, and she was still able to use the indignation in her heart to shout, and now she looked at this man standing tall and tall, so gentle and so heartless... At the moment, she just felt wronged, sucked her nose, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be stopped.

She didn't care that this was Ji's family, or that Ji Wuyan was by her side. In the whole world, it seemed that only the endless autumn rain and the man in front of her were left.She asked him, "Third Master...do you really want to be so heartless?"

This question, ever since she learned that this matter was written by this person, she has been wanting to ask it face to face and ask for an answer.
