Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 54 Xiao Ning...

The "secret" of the secret method is probably that very few people know it first, and even if they know it, they know very little.

As for the secret method listed as taboo, even if it is obtained by chance, it may be just like a thin yellowed page in the vast sea of ​​books, but a drop in the ocean, the tip of the iceberg.

Lily is like that.

Although I don't know where she got the incense, it is clear that in this version, the color of the silk flower is also a key factor for the success of the taboo technique.And ever since the servants of the Yang family made a big fuss at the gate of Fengchenju, the silk flowers have always been blood-colored, and they can vaguely smell some unpleasant smells, like some kind of gloomy and chilling emotions.

Today... still is.

It can be seen that the so-called reconciliation is after all just lip service.Who knows how much of it is calculated?
Ji Wuyan asked her if Yang Shaofei asked her to invite her. The other person's face was normal, his eyes didn't change a bit, he just pursed his lips and smiled, looking gentle and harmless, "Yes. Yang Lang invited me to invite me no matter what. Go girl."

One mouthful of "Yang Lang", vaguely biting the back teeth.

As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you find tiger cubs.I don't know what the other party's plan is, but it's obviously not a good plan... Even, Ji Wuyan feels that Yang Shaofei may not be the one who gave the final inspiration.

Yang Shaofei is impulsive, irritable, emotional, and will not be considerate in public. For such a person, asking him to sit down honestly and ask for a favor is probably more uncomfortable than beating him up.

Is that Yang Sima...or even...East Palace Prince?
The fingertips resting on the armrest pressed a little harder, the corners of the mouth behind the veil were slightly raised, and the tails of the eyes were slightly raised, "Since this is the case... it's not easy to refute face. Is the date fixed?"

Lily breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to straighten the broken hair behind her ear, touched the silk flower by accident, and retracted her little finger, "The date has not yet been set. If the girl agrees, it should be within two days."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man who had just led him into the room, carrying a tray with a small glazed cup on the tray. There were several kinds of fruits in the cup, which were cut finely and beautifully, and some milk was poured on the fruits.

"The fruit delivered urgently from Babaili was kept iced all the way, so it's very fresh." Gu Cuo bent down and placed the glazed cup in front of Ji Wuyan, tilted his head and chuckled, mouthing silently—don't be reckless.

After finishing speaking, he straightened up and stood behind Ji Wuyan, his brows and eyes were slightly closed, and his face was handsome and elegant.

Don't be reckless... Ji Wuyan doesn't think she is reckless.

In many cases, she is more tolerant and dormant than anyone else.But seeing that person has faintly surfaced, within reach...Even if she knows it's a trap...she must... go for it!
Lowering his head, he gently stirred the milk with a small silver spoon, "Successful. Just tell me later and it will be fine."

Gu Cuo sighed softly behind him, this girl... Didn't listen to my persuasion.

Ziqiu left with Lily, who had successfully completed the task, without showing a good face the whole time. He strode ahead to lead the way, and Lily almost trotted all the way to keep up.

The ancient house didn't leave, and watched Ji Wuyan take off the veil and eat the fruit by the spoonful with the tray, sighed again, and called, "Xiaoning..."

The hand holding the spoon trembled suddenly, and the grape meat soaked in milk fell out of the spoon and rolled to the ground, leaving a short line of milk stains.

Ji Wuyan looked at the row of milk stains, at the grape flesh that was no longer crystal clear after being stained with dust, and didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Ning.It's been a long time since I heard this name, it's been so long... It already feels strange.

In Shangguan's generation, the world only knows that there is a female Shangguan Yuan, but they don't know that her mother gave birth to twins, her elder sister was named Yuan, and her younger sister was named Ning.

Her mother came from the Ji family, a century-old hermit family, and all the heads of the Ji family were women.Back then, my mother was the young head of the Ji family, but she insisted on marrying into the Shangguan family. In the words of her grandmother, the Shangguan family owed her an heir. Since she was born, she was given the surname Ji and was raised by the Ji family. She was the next head of the Ji family.

Grandmother said, "Ning" is a very good word. According to the genealogy, she was called Ji Ning'er. Since then, no matter whether it is Shangguan's family or Ji's family, they all call her Xiao Ning, so it is easy.

However, ever since the news of that person's death spread to the south of the Yangtze River and he insisted on going to Yanjing City, he gave up his name and never heard the word "Xiaoning".

Suddenly, her heart trembled, and the fingertips holding the spoon turned white and trembled. After a while, she lowered her head, smiled, and changed the topic, "Gucuo, I know you are worried, I know you want to We have to wait until they come to Beijing, when everything is perfect. But, the ancient house... have you ever thought that some things may... If you miss it, you will miss it?"

"I..." Gu Cuo opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him, but knew he couldn't persuade him. After hesitating for a moment, he took two steps forward, bent down, and picked up the falling grape, "I'll accompany you."

Ji Wuyan looked at him for a while, then lowered his head and replied, "Okay."

"Sorry……"

Ji Wuyan knew what he meant, and shook her head, "It's okay. We have to pass." Whether it's Xiaoning or Wuyan, it's her own.One day, she will stand in front of everyone as Shangguan Ning, and give back another self, the truth.

……

Ziqiu sent Lily out of the gate, turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

Lily was left alone, standing under the steps of the gate, looking up at the two big characters of "Ji's Mansion" gilded on a black background.The font is majestic and majestic, and it looks like it came from the hands of a famous artist, but it has not been signed.

Although the mansions in the eastern suburbs were not comparable to the mansions of the powerful lords at the foot of the imperial city wall, they were not affordable by ordinary people.In the short time since Ji Wuyan came to Yanjing City, this house has already been repaired, counting the time... Maybe, before people enter the city, construction has already started here.

There is also the fruit in the small glazed cup, a small bowl, but the placement is really beautiful, colorful and varied.The capital of the Northern Kingdom is prosperous and rich, but some things are inconvenient due to the influence of the region, for example, some fruits.If it was as the man said, how much money and manpower must have been spent to deliver this small bowl to Ji Wuyan?
What is that girl's identity?Definitely not just a luthier...

Suspicion gradually arose, and he also noticed details that he hadn't noticed in normal times, such as...there are too many people around this girl?She has seen Ziqiu before, there is also a young man who looks a bit mature, and a half-old child, and now there is another one...

"How is things going?" A voice sounded from around the corner, interrupting Lily's contemplation.

Lily's face turned pale, and she took a step back subconsciously, looking at the man in black in front of her.
