Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Mixed flavors in my heart.

Probably no one in this world except herself will know how much effort You Lingxi has made over the years in order to get close to Ning Xiuyuan and get his attention... She studied his preferences and "knew" that he liked ladies from famous families. , everything he says and does is elegant. He "knows" that he likes girls who are reserved and steady, so he learns to be considerate and generous in everything. He "knows" that he likes girls who are well-educated and knowledgeable. She also chewed down those ancient books word for word, imitating his handwriting and painting style, and became what he liked.

But... doesn't he like ladies from famous families?Doesn't he like to be reserved and steady?Doesn't he like to learn rich things?Why...in the end, I fell in love with Ji Wuyan!A Ji Wuyan who is inferior to him in every aspect!
In the end, the curiosity about "Ning Ning" was just a moment of surprise and confusion. Such curiosity seemed so insignificant in the face of the tenderness that I had never received.

A stone falls into the boundless sea, causing three or four levels of ripples, and then returns to silence.To You Lingxi at this moment, that "Ning Ning" was probably just a pebble.

Although she was puzzled, she didn't take it seriously. What weighed heavily in her heart was still just Ning Xiuyuan's completely different tenderness towards Ji Wuyan.In her opinion, that kind of tenderness is particularly "self-contemptuous".

It's anger and unwillingness.

She stood at the gate of the inn, feeling that tonight's style was extremely cold, and the blowing on the back of her neck gave rise to a layer of fine goosebumps.She rubbed her arms and raised her head to look inside the post house. The high fence blocked her view, as well as the disgusting smells and sounds. She didn't like Chen Jiahui, didn't like his appearance, didn't like His temperament, and I don't like the smell of a gangster all over his body. He has no knowledge, no connotation, and is shallow to the point of being disgusting.

If he could only enter the Chen family in the end, You Lingxi would only feel that he who worked so hard to be worthy of that person... was like a joke.

But after today, after what happened this night, she could no longer even persuade herself to close her eyes and grit her teeth to accept the marriage... Those vulgar movements and disgusting smells seemed to be firmly engraved in her mind. She felt uncomfortable all over Chen Jiahui just thinking of this name - going from Ning Xiuyuan to Chen Jiahui was like falling from heaven to hell.

She seemed to hear everyone in Yanjing City pointing fingers at her, laughing at her for having such an idiotic dream, laughing at her for being no better than Ji Wuyan, and laughing at her for marrying an extremely vulgar and unworthy man.

……

There are no secrets in Yanjing City.

Although the post house is located in a secluded area, it is not a deserted area, and it is not a secret that the news leaked.

The news that the young master of the Chen family held a banquet in the name of farewell with the intention of poisoning Chen Song and Ji Wuyan had spread in the streets and alleys almost before dawn. Those rumors were described with vividness and seriousness, as if they were actually witnessed at the scene. It's like what he saw, and even the details during the dinner were not neglected. For example, "Then Mr. Ning was also there, and he was almost poisoned... The doctor said, it's extremely poisonous! It's so poisonous that even Daluo Jinxian can't save it!"

"Really?" the lady who was eating melon seeds spat out the melon seed shells and summed it up happily, "That's not like a rat licking a cat's ass - sending it to death! What kind of family is Ningguo Gong's Mansion? Guo Gong's Mansion! These three If I had a good friend, not to mention Young Master Chen, even the entire Chen family wouldn't be able to afford the compensation! Tsk tsk... This kid's brain is bad, he's bad..."

"Really? I've encountered him once or twice before. Looking at him from a distance, he doesn't seem very smart."

"The brains are not smart, and the hearts are not good... Doctor Chen and Chen Tiancai are not willing to follow them back, so they are murderous? What kind of place is this Chen family? They don't want people to find work elsewhere. ?”

"No wonder I heard that this child was beaten when he went to Ji's house. He lay on the bed for a long time. If it were me, I would beat him too! Beat him even harder!" A group of old women were gathering together to say this. While chatting, an old man suddenly came in, stroking his long white beard, his voice was low, "There is one more thing, you must have never heard of it." After saying that, he looked around again. I looked down and looked like a thief.

The woman immediately became excited, "What? Say it quickly!"

"Yesterday... there was almost a fight in the post house! The princess of the You family also went there, and soon came out in disgrace... Think about it, how could this princess lose to a little girl? …”

"That's right, princess! Besides those in the palace, who else can be bigger than her?"

"Say it!"

The old man shook his head and stroked his beard with a scholarly look on his face. He was about to show off for a while, but he was pushed by these women and almost fell down. He steadied himself and glared at these women, and said in a low voice, "Vulgar! How can you push someone casually?... Hey, hey, don't push, don't push, I said, I said it's not okay! Because the guards in the post house that day were all guards of Ning Guogong's palace, and what they heard was Ning The third master’s order. Everyone knows that the princess has been in love with the third master Ning for many years, and her dream lover is protecting other girls in front of her..."

"Tsk, tsk, if it were the old man who replaced me, wouldn't my heart be broken into thousands of petals?"

The women nodded frequently, and for a moment they felt a little more sympathetic to the sadness. They frowned and sighed, not even bothering to ask for gossip.

Seeing this, the old man's eyebrows widened and he smiled with evil intentions, "Everyone, everyone... do you want to hear the unknown stories about Princess Lingxi and the third master of the Ning family?"

The story of the love between a man and his concubine is already the most attractive. If the story is tragic and ends without a cure, such as the falling flowers and flowing water without mercy, it will be even more addictive.The women's eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded frequently, "Listen, listen!"

The old man pointed to a three-story building behind him and smiled brightly, "If you want to know about the funeral, please go to the teahouse, order a cup of tea, and listen to what I have to say for you..."

Before they finished speaking, the women turned their backs with disdain and said, "Let's go, let's go. He's a storyteller who cheats money... His feelings were just lying to us..."

"That's right, let's go, the dishes for breakfast haven't been washed yet."

"You need evidence to say this! Have you ever lied to me?" The old man jumped in anger behind him, but a woman's voice came from above him, "This old gentleman..."

The voice was gentle, with the slowness typical of the elderly.The old man turned around and saw a well-dressed old woman waving to him from behind a window on the second floor of the inn facing the street. "Old sir... Why don't you come up and tell me the story of those two people?"
