Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Ji Wuyan was taken aback, "What?"

Grandma?Ning Xiuyuan is young but has a high level of seniority. He has never heard of anyone mentioning that Mrs. Ning Guogong's mother is still alive before.If it's not Ning Xiuyuan's, then it's... She asked tentatively, "You mean... my grandmother?"

Ning Xiuyuan nodded calmly, not feeling the least bit embarrassed because he had broken his promise to Mrs. Ji.

Respect the old and love the young. Respect the old first and love the young last.

Ning Xiuyuan felt that he had already achieved the word "respect for the elderly", so the other party should reciprocate politely and take care of himself, a junior who was still "young" to the other party.Since this is not the case, then there is no need to keep the promise that I made back then.What's more, if the little girl is so angry that she wants to break up, then the weight of the "grandma" will have to be re-evaluated, right?

Thinking of this, Ning Xiuyuan nodded more and more like an old man, and even reiterated with a somewhat soothing smile, "Yes...grandma is here. I think the journey is tiring, and here in Yanjing City, the acclimatization is not used to it, yes He came to me and said he wanted to eat the White Jade Frost Square Cake from somewhere. I originally thought that since my grandmother wanted to eat it, as a junior, it was also appropriate for me to go there in person, and the matter in Fengchenju was not urgent at this moment. ? But then I realized that the square cake... it would take a day to go back and forth even if I didn't eat or drink at full speed... Therefore, when you came to see me, I was really not in the city, and I didn't deliberately avoid you. "

After saying that, he frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said, "But in the end, this matter is still my fault. I didn't expect that there are so many pastry chefs in Yanjing City who can't make the taste that my grandmother likes... It was because of this coming and going that it took a long time. Ning Ning..."

"Are you still blaming me?"

The candle flickered, and amid the heavy light and shadow, the man's figure was stretched more and more slender. His eyelashes were slightly drooped in the brilliance, casting arc-shaped shadows on his cheeks, and the other half of his face that was not illuminated by the light. , but it’s hard to see clearly in the dark.

Ji Wuyan sighed softly.

He said so much and only mentioned that he didn't expect it. In fact, Ji Wuyan couldn't guess why. Since his grandmother had sneaked into Yanjing City without any trace of the news, but she only found Ning Xiuyuan, she obviously wanted to It's just a matter of "testing" Ning Xiuyuan.Presumably, the so-called "there is no White Jade Frost Square Cake in the city that suits her taste" was something she made in passing, just to distract Ning Xiuyuan...

Grandma's teeth have been bad over the years, and Mr. Chen has banned her from eating sweets. In addition, there is a nanny who is very strict in this regard. Not to mention the white jade frost cake, she will eat any pastry at any chance. Treat it like a treasure.

As for the acclimatization... The old man has never been acclimated to the acclimatization in his whole life, traveling all over the world, going to heaven and earth, but he has become acclimatized after a visit to Yanjing City?Only Ning Xiuyuan believed her!Looking at Ning Xiuyuan's tired face now, the vague resentment in his heart had long since dissipated, leaving only a little discomfort and embarrassment. He sighed again and muttered in a low voice, "Only you believe her..."

Ning Xiuyuan stood on the steps with a gentle smile, "I don't believe her. I have heard about what kind of person Mrs. Ji is... It's just that she is your grandmother. Even if she has embarrassment, I still can't. We can only cooperate.”

This sentence is the truth. The previous seven points were true and the other three points were false, just to make the little girl feel more sorry for herself.

When he was in trouble, Ning Xiuyuan didn't mind showing weakness, even if it was a bit of a trick... For example, the wound on his palm, or the mark that he had just avoided with his side face.He stretched out his hand towards her, but when he reached halfway, he seemed to be surprised. He quickly retracted it, his eyes were panicked and trying to cover up, "Let's go up first. If Li Yuqi comes back..." Before he could finish his words, his palm was grabbed.

The woman, who was ten steps away, walked over in shock. She walked hastily and stumbled. She grabbed the hand that he had not yet had time to take back. The blood in the palm had dried up and was spread deeply and shallowly across the palm. Among them... the flesh and blood were blurred and shocking.

"What, what are you..." His lips trembled for a long time, and Ji Wuyan still couldn't formulate a complete sentence. When he raised his head, his whole body trembled - half of his face that had just been hidden in the dark, from the corners of his eyes to his cheeks , covered with bruises and bruises, as if it had gone through a fierce battle.Ji Wuyan felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and his eyes were filled with moisture.

"It's nothing..." Ning Xiuyuan smiled softly. When he raised his hand, he found that there was a candle in the other hand. He just rubbed the top of her hair with his chin and comforted, "It's not a big deal... Your brother He is better informed and knows that I went out to the city yesterday to buy cakes. Maybe he thought I was hiding my love in the inn. He was worried about you and blamed me for not leaving at this time, so... I was accidentally beaten and got a beating. And you give me a gift My hairpin..."

Ning Xiuyuan lowered his eyes, almost holding back his breath, looking into the other person's eyes intently, and said softly, "The hairpin you gave me was broken..."

He said it meaningfully, trying to see a trace of shyness in the other person's eyes, even if it was just embarrassment, but Ji Wuyan was feeling distressed and angry at the moment, how could he still remember what he had done in that hairpin?" "Hands and legs?" He grabbed Ning Xiuyuan's palm with a tigerish face and asked as if he was about to burst into tears, "What about these hands?"

"I went to pick up the hairpin and accidentally... pricked it."

Um?Picking up a hairpin... pricked it?
While angry and distressed, his rationality gradually returned, and the mist in his eyes dissipated. Ji Wuyan threw his head and looked at the shocking wounds in front of him - obviously, after this vicious fight, his hands were not bandaged, but his face looked like It has been dealt with. If you look at it from a distance, you won't be able to tell anything. It seems that this Imperial Master... knows how to save face.

Ji Wuyan lowered his head and suddenly asked, "Did Xi An accompany you?"

The topic changed quickly and far away, and Ji Wuyan lowered his head again. Ning Xiuyuan was suspicious and couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he could only respond honestly, "Yeah. Bai Xing and Xi Yu are here too. , waiting outside the East Palace."

"The fight with your brother at Ji's house?"

"Well..." Ning Xiuyuan responded, listening carefully, still feeling a little aggrieved.

Ji Wuyan still didn't raise his head, he only gently stroked the fingertips of his subordinate Ning Xiuyuan, and then covered his palm with great care, sighing, "The fight was at Ji's house. On the way from Ji's house to the East Palace, they None of the three of them have helped you deal with this wound... It's just a waste of time. It's fine if it doesn't cause any trouble. It's just that Xi Yu and Xi An are becoming more and more negligent... It's really abominable!"
