Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 88 The Infatuated Apricot Blossom Brewed Jiangdu County King (Part [-])
Seeing Ji Wuyan looking at him, Pingyang County King Li Yiwei laughed, "It's okay, you don't have to be nervous, just talk casually. I'm different from Brother Huang, so I won't embarrass your little girl... It's just that I heard that kid Bai Xing still I had some unpleasant troubles with Brother Huang, so I thought about asking, after all... they are all my brothers!"

The word "my brother" is clearly and slowly pronounced, which is quite meaningful.

Ji Wuyan responded, "It was just a few words of quarrel. At that time, the little girl didn't know His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise she would have blocked Young Master Bai. It was thanks to Mr. Ning later."

"Master Ning?"

The other party seemed to be very surprised, and the investigation was clear in the morning.Ji Wuyan was slandering in her heart, but her face was restrained to the point of being dull and timid, as if she shrank a little after seeing the face of the Tian family once in a while, nodding, hesitating, "Yes, yes."

"I didn't expect the third master to come to Fengchenju. It seems that I have been nesting in the county prince's mansion all day, and I can't keep up... I heard that Miss Ji's piano music is not available every day, but today it seems to be It's not a coincidence, can't you hear me?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, it is indeed the case. My daughter is here to ask for a living, and she dare not go against her aunt's arrangement, and I hope His Highness will forgive her. But the girls in Fengchenju are not inferior to my little girl. No matter when Your Highness comes over, she will definitely feel uncomfortable. It's a false trip."

Li Yiwei put down his teacup, leaned against the back of the chair and looked at this girl with low brows and soft eyes and a gentle smile.

He could see that as long as some overly sensitive topics were not involved, her replies were so formal that they were almost impeccable, but it was limited to this...

I thought it was a usable one, but it was nothing more than that.If you have to bother to cultivate, it will be too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

After saying a few more words, Li Yiwei let him go.Ji Wuyan saluted, and cautiously stepped back with a bent waist. When she exited the private room, she did not forget to smile almost humbly at the guard guarding the door.

Before the guard turned and went in, he subconsciously glanced at the girl who was helping the stairs to go downstairs. The girl was patting herself and let out a long breath.

Not long after, Li Yiwei also left. After hearing the news, Aunt Chaoyun came to personally deliver the carriage, and watched it disappear at the end of the road before turning back inside.

Li Yiwei leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes, looked a little tired, he called out in a low voice, "Seventeen... I thought that the girl who could make Ning Xiuyuan an exception must be different and good enough to enter the game. Looking at it now, it’s nothing more than mediocre.”

The guard named Shiqi turned his face slightly and said in relief, "Your Highness, you are too anxious."

"Seventeen... I don't want to lose..."

The voice was very low, like a whisper from the depths of the soul, dissipating into the night.Shi Qi's heart trembled, and he moved his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word—the relief that he couldn't empathize with himself was only superficial, pale and powerless.

After a long while, he said, "Your Highness, I heard that the Prince of Jiangdu...has finally woken up."

"Oh." The laughter was cold, "He's a coward... I thought he was going to die drunk in those wine jars."

Shi Qi couldn't seem to hear the coldness in his master's words, shook his head, and sighed, "The prince of Jiangdu is also infatuated. I heard that he bought all the apricot blossom wine that can be bought around...there is no one in the city, so I ran away." I bought it outside the city, drank it for a long time, and now there is still more than half of the apricot blossom wine left in the wine cellar."

The man in the carriage closed his eyes, he had no interest in this topic, and his interest was fading, "Then why don't you drink it? Have you moved on? Like peach blossom wine?"

"Your Highness..." Seventeen shook his head, "I heard that it was the virtuous concubine who cried for several days in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion in Jiangdu County. Everyone thought that the king was so filial...the king was filial, so he couldn't see his wife. Crying into tears every day, he sealed the wine cellar, saying that he would never touch alcohol in his life. Speaking of it... His Majesty is also strange, but he really didn't mean to intervene at all..."

"Huh... Control? If he had thought about controlling him, the matter would not have reached this point. Over the years, I have become more and more incomprehensible to him. Maybe the only person in this world who can understand him is Ning Fix it far away."

"Seventeen, tell me...why does Ning Xiuyuan care about such a girl?"

Seventeen did not answer.

His Highness said that only Lord Ning may know His Majesty's thoughts, but Lord Ning's thoughts... In the whole world, no one may know.

Li Yiwei didn't speak either.The carriage had already left the downtown area, the pedestrians on the road gradually became scarce, and the drizzle was pattering down, which was about to stop but did not stop.The wind blows slowly in late summer, which is pleasant.After a while, he sighed softly...

……

There was no moon, the night was dark, and the light rain was intermittent.

Maybe it's because there are few people living in the house, and there are only a few candles in the stone lanterns in the house. The candles are flickering, and the light flickers on and off. It seems that the servants are somewhat perfunctory and lazy.

This is Ruo Shui's first night in Ji's house.

She knew that Ji Wuyan had doubts about her, but everyone tacitly maintained the superficial peace.

It may also be that it is safer to put yourself under the nose.In short, no matter what the reason is, the left and right are living in.

I have to say that this house is indeed well-repaired. At that time, what Ji Wuyan said about "the family is in the middle of nowhere" doesn't seem to be in the bottom of it. It's not something that Fengchenju can afford after playing the piano for a few years.

The yard that Ji Wuyan lent her was not bad either. It looked like a guest yard at first glance. It was in the north of the house, a little far from the main yard, and few people could be seen coming and going.At night, Ziqiu came to bring her some tea, and arranged for a little girl to come over to serve her. She had never seen that girl before, she looked young, and she was a little timid. Sweep the back garden or something.

Claiming to be Tao Yao.

The name is nice, but he is too timid, like a frightened quail.

While talking, he lowered his head to reveal the scar on his neck. It looked like an old scar, spreading from behind the ear to the collar, and it looked like there was more than one scar.

When asked about his previous career, he said that he was an orphan when he was a child, and was picked up by the grandmother and sold to a big family. After a while, he was sold again because he was not good-looking, delicious, and unpleasant.In these years, basically, I can't work in every house for a few months, so they have been sold here and there, and they are all doing rough work such as cleaning.

The little girl's growth is indeed very ordinary, malnourished like a bean sprouts.

When asked about his age, he was silent and said he didn't know.

It is indeed pitiful...
