Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 5
Early the next morning, I heard that Lily claimed to be sick, so she refused to perform on stage for two days.

When the servant girl reported to Chaoyun, Chaoyun was having breakfast with Ji Wuyan in her room. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Understood." He sent people down.

So when talking about Lily with Ji Wuyan, he naturally also mentioned that Yang Shaofei.

Yang Shaofei, the youngest son of the Yang family in Sima Mansion, is also the only benefactor of Lily who is still inseparable, and that was before Lily entered Fengchenju.

Of course, Baihe no longer considers Young Master Yang to be her benefactor. In the few conversations with Chaoyun, she called Yang Shaofei Yang Lang, and with the shyness and fascination of a woman, she said that she In the near future, she is going to enter the Sima Mansion to be his wife.

"I can't wake up from scolding." Zhao Yun concluded, "The lady of the Yang family is famous for her good face and snobbish eyes. Even girls from ordinary families would never want to marry into the family, let alone Lily's status... It looks like a smart brain, but when it comes to this matter, it can't be scolded, and it plunges in, the bank notes are sent out in sheets, and the good things are also held up on poles to coax men... Hey, our girl here, which one? She wasn't coaxed to ask for the stars and the moon, but she... hey!"

With emotion, there is a bit of heartache that hates iron but not steel.

Ji Wuyan smiled, remembering Cen Yan's evaluation of him - not good.He didn't say anything at the moment, just said, "Every reason, the authorities are obsessed with it, but they know it well. If your business has not been delayed, then let her go."

Chaoyun nodded, and said, "The girl is still transparent." After speaking, he asked some more about the old lady's recent situation, and after knowing everything was fine, he got up to leave, and Ziqiu hurriedly got up to see him off.

This woman in her late thirties wore a loose bun with only a mahogany hairpin in her hair. Her gestures were calm and elegant with a bit of feminine grace, but her actions were bold and decisive.Chaoyun is an orphan rescued by his grandmother. He was raised by his side since he was a child.

Ziqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he came back, "Although Chaoyun is not a few years older, he is becoming more and more like an elder. When talking to her, I always speak respectful words unconsciously."

"That's because you haven't grown up." Ji Wuyan peeled the pine nuts with gentle eyes, "She was trained by her grandmother to manage the family business of Ji's family, and she's going to go back to pick up the errand of Manager Wang after she's here. Different from others...but you don't have to be."

The small blue and white porcelain plate is the size of a palm, and half a plate of pine nuts is already lying in it.

Ziqiu sat beside him, grabbed a handful of pine nuts and peeled them, "Come on, servant girl, you don't have to do these yourself." Girls don't like pine nuts, but Ji Feng likes them.

Ji Wuyan didn't refuse, took a hot towel to wipe his hands, and asked, "Where's Ji Feng?"

"Yesterday, he burned the lotus lantern you gave him all night and didn't want to blow it. He didn't even want to sleep at first. He stared at it, and then he couldn't hold it any longer before he went to sleep." Ziqiu smiled when he remembered that appearance, " The candles inside were gone this morning, and I asked Cen Yan to take him to buy candles, but I haven't returned yet."

Ji Wuyan picked up Ji Wuyan.

He was only four years old at that time, with a sallow and emaciated face like a radish head. At the age when he was just beginning to be sensible, but not particularly sensible, he first had the concept of being abandoned. After a long period of time, Ji Wuyan was The only person he wants to touch.

"Peel less, he loves to eat, he is greedy every time, and he feels uncomfortable if he eats too much..."

While talking, there was a sudden commotion outside, as noisy as the entrance of a vegetable market.

Ziqiu put down the pine nuts in his hand, ran out and came back not long after, said that it was a few people dressed as family servants, brought in a big bed, and placed it at the gate of Fengchenju with big thorns.There was a nanny at the head, who swaggered and swore at people, saying that it was our Lily girl who beat someone.

"Beat someone?" Even Ji Wuyan couldn't believe it, so he put on a veil and went out.

Chaoyun wasn't there, and Lily wasn't there either. There was only a little girl standing at the door with her arms outstretched, like a hen guarding a chick, she was nervous, her face was red, her legs were trembling, she couldn't speak a word , Let the other shrew scold the street.

Outside the door, the onlookers surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors. The girls in the building stood at the gate and looked around. No one surrounded them, maintaining a distance that not only cleared the relationship, but also made it easy to watch the show. .

Ji Wuyan stepped forward in two or three steps, pushed the maid and walked out, and saw that there was indeed a big bed at the door, made of solid wood and carefully carved, surrounded by eight servants, all of whom were only in their teens, standing there. Do not speak.

Several quilts were scattered on the bed, and many dark brown stains could be seen.

Standing in front of the bed was a woman, dressed as a servant, she was a bit older, with her hips on her hips and her neck stuck up, she was cursing, her voice was loud, her words were clear, and she was full of air, and it sounded like she had experienced many battles.

"Hey! Everyone, come and see! This femme fatale woman! You can't marry me in Sima's mansion. Seeing that the wishful thinking flying up the branch is shattered, you will not stop doing it, and find someone to beat our young master. Earth... Let's take a look, girls, take a look, this is the sister who has been with you day and night, take a look... This quilt is covered with the blood of our son!"

"How much hatred and hatred is there to be able to deal with such a ruthless hand!"

The little maid looked like she was about to cry anxiously, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, my girl didn't go out last night, and she was still in bed this morning because she didn't feel well. How could she beat Mr. Yang? It's really not my girl... really No, how could my girl hit someone..."

A little girl who hadn't seen much of the world, how could she be as noisy as a servant woman from a rich family, and she just said a few words over and over again.

No matter how decent and dignified she is in front of people on weekdays, at this moment, this elderly nanny beat her chest and stomped her feet like a mourning concubine with superb acting skills, "You didn't see it, it was dripping with blood! It was bruised and torn! Poor my son, you can't even hit a finger Not a single hole was broken!"

Xu was tired from howling. She searched around but couldn't find a place to rest her feet and breathe slowly. She threw off the scattered bedding on the bed and sat down on her buttocks. Instead of howling, she just hummed coldly, " Heh. The son who bullies me is young and doesn’t know the sinister heart, and doesn’t weigh how much she is, so she wants to enter the gate of our Sima’s mansion just because of the goods she came out of the fence? It’s crazy!"

After howling and gasping for breath, I saw a new person at the door, and snorted at Ji Wuyan, "Wearing a veil in broad daylight, and knowing that you can't see anyone? Are you Lily?"

"No." Ji Wuyan lowered her head, straightened her sleeves, and turned her head slowly to tell Ziqiu, "Go to the yamen for some errands, please come over and be a witness."
