Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

As soon as the two of them left, Ji Wuyan ate snacks much more slowly. After one piece of snacks, the feeling of hunger disappeared a lot. She ate a small spoonful of bird's nest, squinted her eyes, smiled, and looked at the old man. He then looked at Grandma Wang who was dragging the reluctant Cen Yan out, and lazily said, "Grandma Wang and you have become more understanding..."

With a few words of understatement, the little old lady knew that she wanted to take Cen Yan away... to avoid suspicion.

The old lady laughed helplessly, "I didn't mean that... I have looked at that child Cen Yan for many years, and he is yours. No matter what we talk about, there is no need to avoid him. It's just that Aunt Wang She has a cautious, stubborn and disciplined temperament. No matter what I say over the years, she has made a clear distinction between master and servant...except when I talk about you, she will talk back to me. In her heart, who She can’t compare to you, you are her biological child whom she holds dear to her heart!”

The bird's nest in hand is filled with honey.

The bird's nest made by Grandma Wang was originally made without sugar, because my grandmother liked a refreshing taste... But after eating it once, she didn't like it, so she asked Ziqiu to get the honey. When she brought it, the bird's nest was cold. a bit. I didn't think so, but Grandma Wang said that the taste was always lacking. From then on, the bird's nests produced by Grandma Wang always had honey added to them.

A small bowl of bird's nest and half a spoonful of honey were the amount she initially added.

Over the years, it has never changed.

Ji Wuyan chuckled, shamelessly, "I am her biological child!"

"Yes, yes, you are her biological child. I picked you up from the vegetable basket. I have raised you deliciously for these years, but unexpectedly you became someone else's biological child in the blink of an eye..." The old lady Nodding her head, he asked her angrily, "Tell me, you are such a busy person and you can't even have time for lunch, but you still find time to come to my place. What is the reason? Could it be that you have encountered a problem that cannot be solved? Come here Do I have some time to hide and relax?"

"That's not true..." Ji Wuyan put down the bird's nest cup in his hand for a while, raised his eyes and the smile on his face faded a bit. While sizing up the old lady's face, he said tentatively, "Grandma... if, I mean, if...if I find the elder who escaped back then, what are you going to do?"

She was tentative and cautious, and even showed a rare hesitation. As she spoke, she looked at the other person's expression, not missing any clues of changes.

The other party was just stunned for a moment, then smiled, not a little bit surprised, and even asked her with a little understanding that "it's true", "Did you find it?"

"No..." I subconsciously wanted to deny it, but under the other person's eyes, I felt as if nothing could be concealed. Ever since I was a child, no matter how smart I was, I could never deceive my grandmother in the slightest. So true. Ji Wuyan sighed softly, "I'm not sure yet... I need to go for a while to get the result. However, I came to ask you before setting off. If you don't want to see me, I will kill you on the spot. Once I come, I will save you the trouble." Secondly, no matter whether the things under the East Palace are brought to light in the future, they will never bite our Ji family."

As he spoke, Ji Wuyan saw that his grandmother showed no signs of change, so he continued, "If you miss some old feelings and don't want the elder of the clan to die in a foreign land, I will escort him back secretly, or find a corner to settle down first. , look for an opportunity to send it back to the Ji family’s home."

The old lady put down the glass bowl in her hand, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and then asked Ji Wuyan, "What do you think about this matter?"

"I..." Ji Wuyan pursed his lips and said after a while, "I... I naturally prefer the first method. After all, I have no worries. What's more, he has done many evil things and deserves to die. It's just... I agree with him. I don’t know him, let alone spend time with him, so the decision-making process is different from yours.”

The old lady nodded slowly and didn't speak for a long time.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the sun above our heads gradually moves westward, stretching the shadows of the trees across the corridor and falling on people.

Half of the body was illuminated by the sun, and the other half was pressed by the shadow of the trees. Suddenly, half of the body felt warm, and the other half felt cool. After a long while, the old lady sighed softly and said, "As I get older, it is indeed easier to be emotional, but your grandmother and I have never been so stupid. Although he has taught me a lot, so many lives weigh on me. He can only bear the sins he committed...no one can forgive him for them."

Those were living lives, and no one knew better than her how much inhuman torture and pain these people endured before they died.

"Then... do you want to meet him?" Ji Wuyan asked her if he was from Ji's Elders' Association. If so, which one he was, they actually didn't know. She thought that her grandmother would want to meet her and at least... get the truth, or an answer.

But the old lady shook her head, with a gentle and compassionate look, "Girl Ning... Grandma is old. Although she still understands the principles, her heart is soft... If she sees it, she will be depressed and may make a mistake. , a lifetime of fame is coming to an end, but I can’t keep it... That’s all, there’s no need to meet. I’ll leave this matter to you. You are the future head of the Ji family, so you can let him meet the future head of the family in advance.”

As he spoke, he reached out and stroked Ji Wuyan's head, looking at his beloved child kindly, "I must have traveled a lot today. I will drink milk tea later and take a rest here... the more important things are. , the less you can be anxious... If you are anxious, you will easily make mistakes. Stop, take a break, think about it, and sharpen your knife before chopping wood."

Ji Wuyan nodded and said hello.

The truth about Lin Yi, the unknown elder of the Ji family, the secret passage under the East Palace Study Room, the Gu breeder in the secret room, and Shangguan Yuan's bracelet seemed to be within reach, but... There was another layer of blurry mist blocking the view, making it difficult to see clearly.

The closer she got to the truth, the more she couldn't hold back. She just hoped to arrest the person and torture him to find out the truth.

Can……

Does torture really work?
  Lin Yi is a lunatic. Even if he says what he says under severe torture, can he still believe it?

No.

Nor dare.

Under the soft sunshine in the afternoon, the old man in front of me has soft and kind eyes. Grandma Wang is walking happily towards this side with small steps, holding a tray. Behind her is someone who has clearly eaten and drank enough and still holds a piece of pastry in one hand. Cen Yan.

"Girl, the milk tea that the girl likes, the old slave has a piece of candy, it is the taste that the girl likes, and the temperature is just right..."

"Okay." Ji Wuyan took a sip from the porcelain cup, squinting his eyes and acting coquettishly, "You want to eat the food cooked by grandma, how about showing off your skills tonight?"

Grandma Wang was stunned for a moment, then she reacted instantly and responded happily, "Okay, okay! Old slave, go prepare it now! Don't worry, girl, they must be the dishes she likes to eat!"
