Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

People who are too upright are usually a little inferior to scheming.

Places like Dali Temple have always been a battleground in the battle for heirs. Even a humble servant who sweeps the courtyard may be someone's confidant. This person named Ah Shou may have been the prince originally, or he may have just become the prince recently... After all, it is not difficult for Li Yuqi to deal with an ant.

You Feng was still lamenting and blaming himself, but Ji Wuyan couldn't say anything to comfort him. He just took the copied duty record, thanked You Feng, stood up and left.

You Feng walked to the door of the house and watched the other party go in the direction he came from. Then he lost sight of him. He stood there for a while and saw that no one came to report the incident of someone "trespassing into Dali Temple". After finally calming down, I turned around and went back to the house to drink the tea at the right temperature, but my mind couldn't help but drift away - who would dare to come to Dali Temple at this juncture? I'm afraid no passers-by would dare to come from this road at the door. Come on, Pian Ji Wuyan is really brave.

I just don’t know if it’s because newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, or because there is a miracle doctor in the house who I can rely on? He lowered his head and shook it, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. He stared at the door in a daze for a long time, then sighed softly.

……

Ji Wuyan left Dali Temple and took Xi Yu to Huaidefang in the West City without stopping.

According to You Feng's explanation, he found an aunt who looked kind, enthusiastic and easy to talk to, and asked about "the laundry lady of Huaidefang". The aunt was slightly startled, then smiled suddenly and said, "Hey, where else can I find one now?" What a laundry lady!"

Ji Wuyan was startled. Before the bad premonition could arise, he saw the aunt dig out a handful of melon seeds from the bag in front of her bib and put a few in Ji Wuyan's hand. After thinking about it, she took another After going back three times, he looked at Ji Wuyan with a warm smile, as if he were looking at his daughter-in-law, and said cheerfully, "She is still a washer lady now. She was beautiful in the early days when she was young. We The name given to her is now Laundry Lady! Speaking of it, she was also entrusted to someone else. She became a widow at an early age and worked hard to raise a boy who was also a good-for-nothing. How much money I spent on studying, and how much money I spent secretly on building relationships... Oh, but that kid is unsupportable, so it's all in vain!"

"Come on, come on, girl, eat melon seeds, eat melon seeds. Your aunt and I fried these melon seeds myself. Are they delicious?" As he said this, he held Ji Wuyan's hand and brought it to her mouth, a bit like a grandma. It's like selling melons and boasting about yourself.

There were only a few melon seeds in total. Three more melon seeds were taken away before, and now there were only five melon seeds in his hand. Ji Wuyan refused, peeling off a melon seed and putting it in his mouth, chewing it, and nodded in agreement with a smile. , and then passed the remaining melon seeds and melon seed shells to the side. Xi Yu took them without eating. The Xi guards who are away from home usually look very reliable.

The aunt looked sideways, a strange color flashed in her eyes, she didn't say anything, but the smile on her face became more and more flattering, she kept leaning towards Ji Wuyan, winking and promoting herself, "Girl, where are you looking for?" What are you doing, madam? Is there some errand you need to find her for? If it’s an errand, your aunt and I can do it too! Tell me about it!”

Really enthusiastic. Ji Wuyan couldn't resist, and quietly stepped away, then shook his head and said, "No. I just came to find a young man named A Shou from the elders of the family. The elders said that I just want to come to Huaidefang to find a young man named ' That’s what a washer lady is like.”

The aunt was greatly disappointed, "Hey! You're talking about that boy! Yes, he is the washer lady's boy who can't hold up the wall. His mother has worried about him a lot these years. If you are looking for him, here, go forward and follow the On this road, the fourth house is the one with the red paint on the door peeling off... Hey, that boy is not young anymore, and his wife is always thinking about saving more money for him by saving more money for him. "How many years have it been, and I can't even bear to clean a door..." He murmured, his eyes turning from Ji Wuyan to Xi Yu's hand. Seeing the other party's look, he chuckled a little guiltily, and pointed at Ah Shou's family urged, "Girl, go quickly! Don't delay the business!"

Ji Wuyan nodded and thanked him, then took the melon seeds from Xi Yu's hand and handed them back to the aunt - all the aunt's thoughts were clearly on her face.

The aunt was stunned and didn't answer. She rolled her eyes and looked at Ji Wuyan. She suddenly smiled again, took Ji Wuyan's hand and leaned closer to ask quietly, "Girl... But are you here for that matter?"

His voice was low, as if he were a thief. Ji Wuyan's eyes suddenly turned sharp, but then disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if he didn't know what the other party meant, "What is that thing that the aunt is talking about?"

The aunt is also bold. She looked cautious just now. She raised her hand and raised her voice. "I am still secretive between you and the aunt, right? You are dishonest! I look at your appearance and temperament." They are all top-notch, they must be from reputable families in Dongshi. How could they not know about this? Besides, aunt, I have lived here for more than half my life, and I have never seen a few girls from rich families come here... ...Girl, you rich family has many rules. You can't say this or that. I won't ask anything else. I just want to ask you one thing, that...someone in the city is infected with the epidemic. Is it true?"

Ji Wuyan looked over quickly, but his smile was particularly intriguing, "Epidemic? What epidemic? Where did you hear about it?" Everyone in the court was now keeping the matter a secret, although Li Yuqi had already aggressively removed the You family and Dali Temple. Since it's been banned, I'm afraid the news won't be kept secret for too long, but there's no reason that a random lady in West City would already know about it in such a short time...

The aunt had a tigerish face, as if she was a little unhappy at Ji Wuyan's silence, "How come the little girl has learned these secretive skills... Can you tell me if she has?"

"I've never heard of such news." Ji Wuyan denied it, and was a little surprised and frightened. "Auntie, you don't want to talk nonsense about such things. If there is really an epidemic in the city, why are you still here? What about outside? Aren’t you afraid of being contaminated by those unclean things? "

Just the right amount of surprise and concern.

The aunt was suspicious, but no matter how she looked at the little girl in front of her, she couldn't tell that she was cheating at all. She frowned slightly and asked Ji Wuyan, "You...really don't know?"
