Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The night was dark and frosty in the courtyard.

Ning Xiuyuan stared blankly at the little maid who was glaring at him fiercely. For a long time, he didn't say anything or blame him. He only sighed softly and asked, "Where is Cen Yan?"

He almost screamed at the top of his lungs, but even after roaring, he still felt scared.Ziqiu thought that he would be scolded by Third Master Ning no matter what, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't say a harsh word, as if he didn't hear him at all. He was stunned for a moment, and then replied calmly, "Yeah, yeah went……"

The momentum he had just now disappeared instantly due to this interruption. Ziqiu lowered his hand to fiddle with the handkerchief and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Third, Third Master... Chaoyun is older than the slave, and more calm. When he was in Yunzhou, The girl has always had to be taken care of by her. To the girl, Chaoyun is not a subordinate, but a family member, a sister who grew up with her... So, so..."

The little maid was so arrogant just now that she said "Master Ning", but now her arrogance is gone, and her title has also been changed. In this regard, she has the same virtue as her master.

Ning Xiuyuan would not argue with Ji Wuyan's maid about Lao Shizi's attitude. He just nodded and said that he understood, and then ordered, "It's late at night, you should go and rest by yourself. I'll go and see your young lady. look."

"Yes..." Zi Qiu ran away... The girl hadn't come back yet, so she couldn't rest. It was just that she had the audacity to yell at Mr. Ning, and now she really didn't have the courage to stay with him anymore.

Xi An followed Ning Xiuyuan out, then glanced at the direction Zi Qiu left, and muttered angrily, "Master, why don't you explain to Zi Qiu? It's not that the master doesn't want to see Miss Ji, it's Mrs. Ji." People can't get away over there..." Xi An's temperament is different from Xi Yu's. If he didn't really feel aggrieved for his master at this moment, he would not intervene in any way.

Ning Xiuyuan didn't look back and took two steps before saying, "Zi Qiu is simple and can't hide things. Mrs. Ji doesn't want to reveal the news about her in the city. What's more... Zi Qiu is not wrong either. I am in this matter." Your Majesty is indeed negligent." His Majesty was seriously ill, and all the forces in the DPRK and China could no longer hold back, so they spent more time on it. In addition, Mrs. Ji intervened at this time, and Wuyan was Some don't care.

The little girl is also very impatient. With her little skills, she dares to go anywhere... Ning Xiuyuan pinched his eyebrows and said, "Go to the East Palace to check the situation."

"It's strange..." Xi An muttered again, "Something happened in Fengchenju, but Mrs. Ji is really not in a hurry at all. Ziqiu is already praying to gods and Buddhas, but this old lady is still leisurely. I miss some white jade cake, and I asked the master to buy it by name... If it is a test for the master, it should not be rushed at this juncture! Isn't this deliberately trying to embarrass Miss Ji..."

"It's not a embarrassment... it's just training. She wants to train Wu Yan, so she doesn't want me to help, at least not too early." Ning Xiuyuan pinched his eyebrows again, but it's just that this old lady is training her granddaughter, which is understandable... ...But now that he is preventing himself from helping in this way, in the end it will really embarrass him. Zi Qiu is so angry, that girl must be holding her breath too. I'm afraid it will be difficult to coax her back...

"But..." He paused before going out. He turned around and glanced behind him. The entire Ji family was hidden in the deep night. There were a few stone lanterns scattered on both sides of the road paved with bluestone bricks. At night, There was a faint glare in the wind.But further away, it looks like a light cage of mist, making it blurry and unclear.The entire mansion was enveloped in this gauze-like mist, silent, like a big cat that had fallen asleep, soft, quiet, and without any precautions.

"But what?" Xi An asked softly when he saw Ning Xiuyuan looking behind him in a daze.

"But... Mrs. Ji is still so calm and seems to be sure of victory. I think there must be someone secretly protecting Wuyan." Ning Xiuyuan comforted himself in this way, but somehow, this method It didn't work at all, and his heart was beating more chaotically than when he suddenly heard her breaking into the East Palace at night.It seemed like... things were getting out of control somewhere.Therefore, Xi An, who was slightly relieved after hearing this, watched in surprise as his master suddenly turned around, got on his horse, and galloped away in the direction of the East Palace.

……

in the inn.

The old lady, who had already fallen asleep and was woken up by a knock on the door, looked at the two boxes of pastries in front of her. Her face looked a little helpless, a little gloomy, and a little mixed. The pastries sent by Ning Xiuyuan were of various varieties. I took three or five of each kind, so that when it was delivered to me, it was enough for two large food boxes.

Mammy pursed her lips and snickered beside her, "I'm afraid my future uncle will also be aware of your calculations. He is just afraid that you will want white jade frost square cake today and pineapple cake tomorrow, so he will simply give you all the famous ones. You bought it."

The old lady was in a bad mood. She turned to look at her sideways and snorted arrogantly, "No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak! Is that damn boy afraid that I will torment him again tomorrow? You already said, come and ride a horse. It will take a day to be better soon, what about him? How long has it been since he came back, and who is the kind of person who knocks on the door to show his respect to the elderly at night?!... What did you call him just now? Uncle? "

The look in the old lady's eyes said, "If you dare to nod, I will drive you back to Yunzhou right now"... Grandma touched her nose and emphasized, "In the future..."

"Hmph...who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

"Our girls are right!"

Grandma smiled and said, seeing that the old lady's face was getting darker and darker, she stopped laughing immediately, sighed, bent down and closed the lid of the food box, sat down next to the old lady, and rolled her eyes at the other lady, it was serious. He persuaded me, "It's because he came back in such a short time after a one-day journey that the old slave feels in his heart that he deserves to be regarded as his future uncle..."

"It is said that the third master of the Ning family is a smart man. I think you want to train the girl, so he knows the reason why you let him go. It's just that old lady... you have your concerns, and he has his concerns... If we don't let our girl go, Why does he have to work so hard in such an important and important position?" Grandma pointed to the food box and said, "Just now you didn't look at him with a dark face, but the old slave looked clearly at such a handsome man. Man, this journey has been filled with dust and fatigue, and I have become a lot more haggard. I am afraid I haven’t even had a sip of water in the past few hours.”

"The rare thing about a man who is so attentive to our girl is that the girl likes him too. He is even willing to go to Yunzhou to be our son-in-law... What else are you not happy about?"

The old lady was at a loss for words. Thinking about it, it seemed to be the case, but she didn't want to admit it, so she just waved her hands and started to chase people away, "You talk a lot...it's so late at night, go to bed!"
