Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 878 Don’t you know whether it’s cold or not?
The snow had a dazzling light under the sun. If you stared at it for a long time, your eyes would turn black and you couldn't see anything clearly.

My hands and feet are cold.

Even her spirit was vaguely in a trance, so that for a moment, she had such dangerous thoughts that were close to destroying the world. But as he staggered to his feet, he felt that if he really did this and looked at the bloody storm in Yanjing City and remained indifferent to the wails when the dynasty changed, what would be the difference between himself and Lin Yi?

What she wants is the truth, and she wants the perpetrator to be punished as he deserves. If the court laws cannot punish him, then she will do it herself, but she does not want to implicate the innocent.

What's more, neither the Ningguo Duke's Mansion nor the Bai family, nor perhaps Siniang, could follow her and escape unscathed.

Ji Wuyan closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair. He could see the bright colors cast by the sun in his eyelids, but there were mottled black shadows moving in the bright colors, which was unpredictable.

The corners of his lightly pursed mouth slowly drooped, and he was moody and angry, as if he was just asleep.

The sound of footsteps came, but stopped at the door.

Feeling the obvious hesitation in the other person's held breath, Ji Wuyan slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was the concierge. She sat up straight and asked quietly, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that she woke up, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, trotted in with his robe, handed over a post, and replied, "Girl, the old lady of the Bai family sent this, and said that if you have time, please come and have a chat with me." ”

The concierge nodded and said yes, and went down.

After basking in the sun for a while, I felt a little lazy and sleepy. Ji Wuyan lazily took it and saw that there was no specific thing written on the post, let alone a specific time, so he asked, "Do you know what happened?"

She supported the chair with one hand, raised her numb foot, and told the porter to go and tell Nanny first, "You go and tell Nanny first, I'll put on my coat and I'll come, and ask her to wait a moment." "

"The mama who sent the post didn't say anything. The carriage is still waiting at the door, saying that she is waiting for a reply. If the girl is free, just go with her. It is not an important matter, and there is no need to dress up... and she is not free. If so, there’s no rush, she’ll go back home first and wait until the girl is free.”

Thinking like this, Ji Wuyan put away the post and stood up, but there was a sharp pain under his feet - his legs were numb after sitting for a long time.

Who invites people like this?
Mrs. Bai values ​​​​courtesy, and although the two of them are very close, they have never lost a cent in the etiquette of their interactions. Whenever she sends a gift, she will definitely ask her to come to the door in person to return the gift. Today's slightly hasty and rude behavior is very abnormal. Every detail has the meaning of "I have something urgent to see you, but I can't explain it clearly. If you can come, please come quickly."

Ji Wuyan looked around, but did not see Ziqiu, and there was no human movement nearby. Thinking that Mrs. Bai was probably anxious, he put on his clothes, rolled up his hair casually, and went out.

On the carriage, Mammy thanked her enthusiastically and asked Ji Wuyan to comfort the stubborn grandfather and grandson after going to Bai's house. However, when Ji Wuyan asked about the specific matter, the mother-in-law just sighed helplessly and said, "Young Master, I don't know why. In the past, I just messed around at home, but now I have divorced you." How can the old lady agree with the family’s thoughts? This is causing trouble. "

Ji Wuyan thought that Bai Xing didn't come to them for dinner and drinks these days, so he just smiled and said comfortingly, "He is indeed more playful. Maybe he has been holding it back for a while. It would be good to go out and relax." Grandma sighed, "It's not that... it's... Hey! Girl, you will know it by yourself, but you have to persuade me. Our old lady only has such a precious grandson, even though she usually waves He was chased and beaten with crutches, but he was truly pampered and protected like his lifeblood... Hey!" He sighed and beat his chest again and again.

Ji Wuyan didn't know the specific situation or where to start, so he just said hello.

Following my grandma all the way to the backyard, I realized that the situation was far more serious than I imagined.

Bai Xing knelt in the yard, upright, completely gone from the playful nonsense of the past. The old lady stood there with a stern face and a cane. There was a large carved chair beside her. She didn't sit on it either. The crutch scolded, "In the past, I let you do whatever you did. If you don't like to be an official, I let you. If you want to be an idle young man and do nothing, I let you. You don't marry a wife or have children. , I’ll let you! Now you say you want to go out for a walk, and I’ll allow you to...but tell yourself, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? What kind of distraction do you need? Three to five years?”

Bai Xing knelt and said nothing, like a wooden stake without a soul, stubborn and stubborn.

Three or five years to relax... No wonder the old lady is angry. Ji Wuyan sighed secretly and called softly, "Grandma...I can hear your voice from far away. Why did Bai Xing make you unhappy? Just give him a slap to vent your anger, but don't let yourself get angry." Mr. Chen said that being angry is not worth it.”

Girls from Jiangnan speak sweet words and are gentle and waxy.

The old lady calmed down and waved to Ji Wuyan, "Here comes the girl? Didn't I delay you for anything?"

"No. I don't have much to do these days. I'm building a snowman with the kids...just come out and get some fresh air." She gently held the old lady's arm, handed over the heater in her hand, and then said angrily. , "You said, in this cold weather, your hands are frozen after being outside for a long time? How about you go inside to warm up first? Bai Xing and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I am worried about what he is hiding. Where's the wine? Can you lend it to me for a while? I'll be with you later."

The little girl's words were subtle and beautiful, and the old lady's face softened a little. She patted the back of Ji Wuyan's hand and sighed softly, "Hey... the girl is still considerate."

"How could it be? My brother always said that I was a naughty monkey when I was a child, more skinny than Ji Feng, and I have become a little more stable in these years. Grandma has headaches because of me just as much as you do!"

Naturally, the old lady didn't believe it. She just thought these were Ji Wuyan's words to comfort her. She patted Ji Wuyan's hand and said, "Go. The wine hidden in this kid's room is all good wine. Just don't be greedy and get drunk." It’s so uncomfortable.”

"Okay." Ji Wuyan nodded, took the old lady on his arm and sent him into the house. He also told his grandma to take good care of her, then left and came out. He walked to the wooden post and lifted the other party's collar, " Come on, why are you still kneeling? It’s winter, isn’t the stone cold?”

Mentioned it, but didn't bring it up.

The other person said in a muffled voice, "Whether it's cold or not...don't you know?"

Ji Wuyan was stunned.

The old lady in the room was also stunned.
