Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 856 What a tough guy
"How to treat guests?" Ji Wuyan turned slightly sideways, lowered his eyes, and asked Cen Yan behind him, "Are there any guests in the house today?"

Cen Yan had a tacit understanding and replied clearly, "I've never heard of it."

At this time, the Chen family had already heard the implication. The Chen family, who were still talking about "a small family background" with a smile at that time, stopped talking. Ji Wuyan only nodded and asked the concierge behind him, "Has anyone come to the door with a greeting card from yesterday to this moment?"

The concierge lowered his head and said in an equally clear voice, word by word, "As for the girl, no one has come to the door in the past few days."

So, in front of all the ugly-looking Chen family members, Miss Ji shrugged her shoulders and said gently and innocently, "Look. There are no guests in the house today."

In a world covered in silver, in front of the vermilion gate, the girl stood with her hands behind her back. Her eyebrows raised slightly because of her new discovery had a beautiful and proud look, and even the slightly raised corners of her mouth seemed to be silently and resolutely sending guests off. Way.

Seeing that this little girl was "soft and easy to bully", the old patriarch had already begun to figure out how to negotiate terms and offer compensation after sitting down. After all, Chen Jiahui's body was injured, and it was up to the Chen family to decide how it would be treated in the end. . What's more, now that this little girl has climbed into the Duke Ning's mansion, can he really beat her to death and maim her to vent his anger? Since we can't vent our anger, let's sit down and have a good chat and try to get as much benefit as possible. It would be best if we could rely on this girl to get into Ningguo's palace.

He had already reached this point in his calculations, but he didn't expect that this damn girl would turn her back on her in an instant. How could he not be angry? At that moment, his face changed again and again. He saw his rickety back straightened up, and the crutch in his hand hit the ground repeatedly. He scolded sharply, "You are so rude, Shu! Don't you really think that with the Ningguo Palace behind you, I, the Chen family, can't do anything to you?" ? I’m still saying that, the Ning family is not the only one in this world! Young people should be more modest!"

Ji Wuyan still looked the same, gentle and sharp, he smiled lightly and said, "How dare you? Even far away in Yanjing City, my little girl knows that your Chen family has joined the royal family. I am afraid that your Chen family will be the only one in Jiangnan in the future. , Who dares to underestimate you, Patriarch Chen? As soon as I heard that you were coming, my daughter hurried out to greet you before she had eaten her breakfast... I didn’t expect that such sincerity would be misunderstood by the old patriarch. "

The old patriarch raised his head suddenly, "You..." How could this girl know about the marriage between the Chen Gu family? !
"Fart!" Chen Jiahui huddled behind his grandfather. When he heard this, he couldn't help it. He put his head out and cursed loudly, with a look of pretentiousness. After cursing, he warned the old man, "Grandpa, don't listen to her nonsense! Grandson Didn't I tell you before, this Ji Wuyan, she looks like she is the most capable person in the world! With her mouth, she can talk about life and death with her eyes open. You must not believe her. !”

The old patriarch, who was already extremely angry, suddenly turned around and yelled, "Shut up! I can't bear it! How can a person who can't bear it bully you into what you are now? Then who are you? A waste?" The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Hearing the uncontrollable sneers behind him, he became even more angry. He turned around and yelled at Chen Jiahui, "Get out of here! Don't get in the way and be an eyesore here! If it weren't for you, kid, I'd be an old man and I wouldn't be able to talk to a kid." "Girl, you care? Tell me, how many times have I been embarrassed because of you?" It's not just embarrassing in front of outsiders, the main thing is how many people in the Chen family are secretly laughing at such a brainless thing. How many people are eyeing him as the leader of the clan?
If the marriage to the royal family had not been abolished, or with his current broken body and bones, he thought he could still sit comfortably in the position of the young master of the Chen family? But everyone with a discerning eye knows that this gift of marriage is like a pain in the throat of the royal family. The reason why it has not been abolished is because the emperor still needs the Chen family! If you are not careful, the entire Chen family will be ruined... The Chen family, this is a bright future with their heads tied to their belts! If not, he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to lick his old face to curry favor with the Gu family!
After all, isn't this damn boy the one causing the trouble? Why bother provoking Ji Wuyan for nothing?
Thinking about it, he glared at Chen Jiahui, who was shrinking his neck, and then pointed the finger at Ji Wuyan, "The little girl's news is very good..." There was a bit more scrutiny in his eyes. The marriage between the Chen Gu family was not a household name in Jiangnan. How did Ji Wuyan know about it?
Could it be... His heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague premonition of something bad. He quickly shook his head, trying to throw those thoughts away. He knocked on the crutch in his hand, and then said in an old-fashioned way, "In this case, the little girl should I also know that my Chen family is not someone who just lets people bully me."

Although the gray-haired old man's speech is slow due to age, he enunciates every word clearly and powerfully, and his eyes are sharp. He probably has a straight-talking personality on weekdays, acting decisively and ruthlessly without caring about affection. In other words, the helpless Du Miaomiao behind him could break his heart over and over again.

Ji Wuyan retracted his scrutinizing gaze, and the hands behind his back slowly dropped to his side. He lowered his head and smiled, and then called out warmly, "Old patriarch... The Chen family is not easy to bully, and the younger generation knows that. But, After all, I am young and act recklessly without thinking about the future... Let's put it this way, even if Young Master Chen didn't come to the door to cause trouble, there is no way I would open the door today and invite you in for a cup of tea and a small talk. "

She slowly looked to the opposite side, her eyes were calm, and there was no trace of disgust or anger. She was as calm as if she was just stating "Today's weather is really nice."

The winter in Yanjing City is very cold. After a snowfall, the temperature drops rapidly, and the cold wind blows on the face like a knife.

The old patriarch raised his eyelids and looked at it. The little girl was wearing a fur collared cloak. The wind blew up the hem, and she could see the almost thin long skirt underneath. The color was elegant and tinged with a soft blue. The little girl stood In this cold wind, he remained motionless.

What a tough guy.

How could he be young and reckless and not care about the future? He was not willing to care about the future at all, right? This girl is quite a woman, no wonder this incompetent member of her family was beaten repeatedly. Even when she stood in front of her, she never showed any humility. She kept saying "old patriarch" but there was no respect in her eyes.

"Humph." He hummed lightly, "In that case, I won't greet the girl anymore. Chen Song is a member of the Chen family. There is no need for others to comment on the matter between me and him. It's just that the girl beat my grandson like this. You must give me an explanation, otherwise I will have to go to the imperial court to ask for an explanation tomorrow even if I kneel down every step of the way!"
