Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 861 Twin Sisters
Patriarch Chen was stunned. Chen Yinuo was very talented. The most important thing was that he was obedient and well-behaved. He cultivated him carefully, thinking that if Chen Jiahui inherited his position in the future, if he could get Chen Yinuo's help, this position would be secure. .

Who would have thought that such an easy-to-control person could not control this bastard?

So, he became even more angry and couldn't hit him anywhere. He raised the crutch in his hand again and again. The old man inhaled, exhaled, and inhaled again. In the end, he was unwilling to hit him with the stick again, so he kicked him over and scolded, "Get out! Get out! Don't get in my way. It's annoying to watch!" Because he was so angry, the kick was very hard. Chen Jiahui was kicked to the ground and fell to the ground, but he didn't dare to say anything. With one word, he ran away rolling and crawling on the ground.

The old man was leaning on a cane with one hand and akimbo with the other, breathing heavily. He glanced around at the Chen family who were watching the show with great interest. Everyone either smiled or looked at the sky and the earth, suddenly remembering where there was still some life. I didn't do it, so I ran away quickly with an excuse.

The old man was really angry, so he hit the threshold with a cane, but the threshold didn't hurt and there was no point in hitting it. After all, he was just asking for trouble. In the end, he had to go back to the house with a gloomy face and didn't come out for half a day.

It's not that I didn't expect Ning Guo Gongfu to support Ji Wuyan, and it's not that I haven't heard of the reputation of the third master of the Ning family as a living hell, but I thought he was just a young man. He had been in charge of the Chen family for half his life, and he could still be intimidated by a young man. Can't? As for the Duke and his wife, they probably won't show up... But who would have thought that just one look could make him feel terrified.

In contrast, this ineffective one of our own can indeed be called a "rotten fruit from a crooked neck tree"...

……

At the same time, the East Palace.

Li Yuqi stood in front of the study window for a long time with his hands behind his back. In the courtyard where it had snowed, the winter wind carried the coolness of frost and snow, and there was a kind of coldness that could penetrate into the bones. Seeing that he was silent, Sanji took a cloak and put it on him. Li Yuqi seemed to have finally come to his senses and raised his hand holding the paper, "No need. I'm not cold. It's cool to blow like this." good."

Sanji took a step back holding his cloak.

Li Yuqi's hand holding the piece of paper was clasped behind his back again, his fingertips trembling slightly. After a while, he looked up at the gray sky and asked, "Is the news reliable?" His voice was strained due to his exertion. Almost hoarse...

"Reliable. The Shangguan family indeed gave birth to two daughters, a pair of twin sisters. Shangguan's wife was already weak and almost had difficulty giving birth. It was a night and it was raining heavily. The Wen Po arranged by the Shangguan family early in the morning saw that she could not do it, so she hurriedly went again Someone was found outside. In order to hide the news, the Shangguan family silenced everyone who knew about it. The Wen Po was also alert and alert. The next morning, she heard from the neighbors that the Shangguan family had a daughter. There was something wrong, so he ran away with his family."

Li Yuqi's hands behind his back tightened and loosened, and then he asked, "Run away?"

"He ran away and rolled down the cliff halfway. Wen Po was seriously injured and did not survive... We found Wen Po's husband and he is already on his way to Yanjing."

That's true.

The Shangguan family... are so brave.

The Ji family in Yunzhou is headed by a woman. Now, only one daughter of the Ji family has married into the Shangguan family, and the successor who has worked so hard to train is married to another woman. From then on, the relationship between the two families has been at odds. A few years later, the old head of the family found someone from the main family. This is the current young master of the Ji family, Ji Wuyan - this is Li Yuqi's guess based on some details and the information he found.

He thought he at least had a pretty good guess. Unexpectedly...it's just the tip of the iceberg. Twin sisters, if one of them wants to inherit the Ji family, they can just share it openly. There is no need to go to such great lengths to hide the existence of a child, and even kill those who know about it.

"When Shangguan left Yanjing, I remembered the incident... In my impression, the old man from Shangguan's family was a scholar. He was stubborn and didn't interact with others, but he really didn't have the temperament to take people's lives casually..." Li Yuqi lowered his eyebrows and murmured to himself, wondering if it was related to those rumored treasures? And Ji Wuyan is the descendant who really knows where the treasure is?

As soon as this idea came up, Li Yuqi immediately believed it - no wonder Shangguan Yuan knew nothing about it, no wonder the stubborn old man of the Shangguan family had committed murder and silence.

Li Yuqi turned around slowly with a gloomy expression, and walked to the charcoal basin next to the desk. The crumpled piece of paper was slowly placed in the basin, and tongues of fire quickly licked the page. He looked at the piece of paper that was instantly engulfed in flames, and a sly smile that was so complex that it was almost penetrating slowly appeared on his gloomy expression. He rubbed his fingertips and murmured softly, "The crime of deceiving the emperor... Shangguan, this is how you are seeking your own death."

The flames weakened, leaving only dots of red. He looked at the red charcoal fire and ordered, "Send some people to meet him, and be sure to ensure the safety of that person. That is an extremely important witness."

"Yes."

Sanji responded and was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Yuqi, "Wait... you, please make arrangements in the past two days. I want to see Xu Siniang."

"Yes……"

Li Yuqi then waved his hand and let people go down.

……

At the door of Ji's house.

Ning Xiuyuan came late. He got off the carriage and walked to the door in a few steps. He bowed slowly and apologized to the old lady, "The Chen family came to the city, and I didn't notice it in time, so they came to disturb the old lady. It's because of my negligence and why." I hope the old lady will bear with you."

For matters that had nothing to do with him, no one would inform him whether the Chen family entered the city or not. However, the third master of the Ning family came up to apologize, with a very low attitude and sincerity. The old lady's displeasure because Old Man Chen kept saying that Ji Wuyan was included in the Duke's Mansion was finally calmed down.

Her face softened slightly, she nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. Although I am just a woman, I also know that you are busy with official duties now, not to mention that the city gate is not your job, so how can you pay attention to it all the time. Old lady Although I am older and not as nimble as before, it is not a troublesome thing to deal with the old man from the Chen family... Just go about your business, don't worry, those little brats from the Chen family want to cause trouble in front of me, and they will It’s early!”

"Yes." Ning Xiuyuan agreed with a smile, "What's wrong with you? You are obviously very handy. We young people are not as good as you."

Who doesn't love words of praise? Even though she knew that this boy was just a coaxer, the old lady was always happy when she heard it. She waved her hand with a smile, "That's all, that's all. I'm going in too. I'm still blocking Chen Song in the yard!"
