Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 779 Shangguan Chu’s Promise

When they returned to Duke Ning's mansion, Xi An came up to meet him. Seeing Ning Xiuyuan holding the sandalwood box in his hand, he hesitated and asked, "Master, are you serious... If the girl knows about it, I'm afraid she will be blamed."

Ning Xiuyuan raised his eyelids and glanced over, his eyes slightly cold, and he warned expressionlessly, "As long as you don't tell her, she won't know."

Xi An shivered, tightened his abdomen and lowered his head, "This subordinate doesn't know anything."

The other party had already passed by. Hearing this, he paused for a moment, looked back at him, and said lightly, "Well, that's best"... With just one glance, Xi'an felt that sometimes, Xi Yu, who was ordered to serve Miss Ji, was still very happy. At least, he didn't know anything. Moreover, the girl was much easier to talk to than the master. Just look at that boy Cen Yan. You can tell that such a fool can still live freely. comfortable.

Xi'an looked up at the moon that was half covered by clouds. After a while, he rubbed his arms and thought about this year's winter...it's so cold.

……

"S-slave, I'm really not lying... This handkerchief was given to me by Mr. Shangguan... He said, he said, he said he would return to Jiangnan another day, he would, he would..." The sobbing little maid cried. While choking, she said some imaginative words intermittently, and a handkerchief fell under her feet. It was a plain white brocade, with only the word "Chu" embroidered with ink thread in the corner.

Opposite her, Ziqiu stood with his hands on his hips, glaring angrily, sneering and saying sarcastically, "What will happen? Do you still want to say that the young master said that he would take you back to Jiangnan and marry you as his wife?! Bai Xue, what did I say you did in the blue sky and in the white sun? Where’s the dream?!”

Above the arrogance, there is a contrast between the two sides, one is aggressive, the other is evasive and aggrieved.

Bai Xue twirled her fingers, her chin buried to her chest, and her tears fell down as if they were free, dripping on the plain white brocade handkerchief. She was trembling with fear, and her whole body was in a state of shrinking desperately. She tried her best to defend herself with a pale face, "My slave, how dare I think so? I just hope that I can go back with Mr. Chu to serve and serve you." That's all..." As she said that, her ears turned red. It was obvious that what she meant by "taking care of you" was not just taking care of you.

"Shameless!" Ziqiu spat. He put his hands on his hips and was about to curse when he heard the wooden door in front of him open with a creak.

Ji Wuyan was woken up by crying and stood at the door with a bad expression.

It was still early, and the little maid's almost broken and choked sobs almost stubbornly pulled at Ji Wuyan's consciousness that was drifting due to his deep sleep. She couldn't push it away or refuse. There was also a maidservant who was so excited and loud that she completely forgot that her daughter was still drinking tea and talking with Duke Zhou. Seeing Ji Wuyan open the door, the little maid hurriedly crossed Bai Xue and rushed to Ji Wuyan, "Miss, are you awake?"

Ji Wuyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, his face full of resistance to getting up at this hour, "What do you think? It's not that early in the morning. If you don't know, you think it's Caishikou. Tell me, what's going on?" "After hearing this, I yawned lazily, looked at the little girl standing in the courtyard with her head lowered and looked very restrained, and asked, "Who is this?"

The other party hunched his shoulders, lowered his head, turned around, and whispered, "I've seen the girl before," and then nothing more happened.

Can't see face clearly. Ji Wuyan's eyes fell on the square handkerchief at the other party's feet, his eyes slightly cold.

Ziqiu snorted lightly and said, "It's normal for the girl not to recognize her. It turns out that we don't have enough manpower in the house. Chao Yun bought the maid from Ren Yazi to be responsible for washing. The slave thinks that she is law-abiding and honest. I divided it, so I allocated it to take care of Miss Shen... I didn't expect that he was such a two-faced person! I didn't know where I picked up our young master's veil. When other slaves saw it, they must say that it was the young master, the young master and her. ...The same thing as what she gave it to her when the moon was under the flower, and he also said that he would take her back to Yunzhou... Isn't this an idiot's dream? The slave was really angry, so he raised his voice a little louder and disturbed the girl. "

"What the slave said...everything is true..." Bai Xue lowered her head and twirled her fingers. She looked obviously scared, but she defended stubbornly, pale and weak.

Ji Wuyan still lowered his eyes and looked at the handkerchief soaked with tears, softly said "Oh?" and said with a smile, "Since brother gave you this handkerchief, he is probably interested in you. Since you are willing, Going back to Jiangnan with him, I think my brother is not wishful thinking. This veil... should be called a token of love, right?"

Ziqiu was shocked. Could this... girl really believe what this little girl said? She moved her mouth, but she didn't make a sound. She only looked at Bai Xue with an obviously fiercer look - look, how proud this guy is! Still waiting around, she didn't know how many girls from good families in Jiangnan wanted to wait around for the young master!
Where will it be her turn to get Snow White? !
Bai Xue's stirring fingers paused slightly, her ears turned red, and she responded in a low voice, "Yes..."

Ji Wuyan smiled playfully, "That girl found it strange. The book said that most women treat tokens of love very seriously and keep them securely, as if they are hiding feelings that they are ashamed to show to others... ...Baixue girl is different, showing herself openly to others. However...since she is a maid serving Luo Xin, she doesn't wait at the door properly to wait for the girl to wake up and prepare breakfast, but she comes to my yard early in the morning. What to do?"

The other party choked, and because of the surprise, he subconsciously raised his eyes and fell straight into the other party's cold eyes with a smile. Those eyes were as sharp as if they could see into people's hearts. Bai Xue quickly lowered his head, "Slave... slave, slave that is……"

"What is it?" Ji Wuyan looked at her and asked.

"It's, it's..."

What is it? Bai Xue racked her brains, her fingertips clenching and hurting... The thing was that she saw the writing on the square handkerchief that Shen Luoxin took out and stuffed back last night, and stole it while Shen Luoxin was taking a bath. She took the opportunity to fall in front of others early this morning, hoping that such an unknown thing would allow her to escape from Yanjing City - but could she tell?

Obviously not.

Bai Xue stood there, her hands and feet were cold. She closed her eyes tightly, and the next moment she looked directly into Ji Wuyan's eyes and said, "Miss Shen was ill two days ago. Although she prescribed a prescription for herself, yesterday At night, the slave heard that the girl was still coughing badly. She thought about going to Mr. Chen to ask if there was anything wrong with this recipe. However, she was worried about disturbing Mr. Chen, so she came to the girl out of desperation. The veil was accidentally dropped. When I fell off, Sister Ziqiu grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. She said, said... she said many unpleasant things."

After I finished speaking, my voice was choked with tears and tears fell in clusters.
