Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 884 The world is too heavy for me to bear

Ji Wuyan turned to the concierge and told the doorman, "Go to Mr. Chen and get the prescription." After saying that, he whispered, "Don't let Mr. Chen come out. He is getting older and will always be sentimental...and... Yes, let Bai Xing go faster.”

The last sentence was spoken in a lower voice and very fast.

The boy was slightly stunned. Although he didn't know what "Let Bai Xing hurry up" meant, he wisely kept silent and just nodded and turned around.

Xu Siniang was suddenly startled and quickly stopped her, "Don't go!" But the concierge had already entered and no one was in sight.

She called Ji Wuyan again, "Wuyan, ask someone to come back. Luo Xin is a silly child who is emotional. But you are smart and rational. People like Li Yuqi have never put the lives of the people in the world in their eyes. Such a person If he ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, he will definitely be a foolish master who cares about human life! So what if I lose my life because of this? It is worth it to exchange one life and death for the world's prosperity for a hundred years!"

Probably because the prescription was about to be obtained, Sanji did not stop him this time and allowed Xu Siniang to speak words that were almost rebellious. Hearing this, he even twitched the corner of his mouth, a move that couldn't even be considered an expression, as if he was mocking the other person's naivety and overestimation of his abilities.

Ji Wuyan sighed softly, then met the other person's gaze, and reminded him softly, "Aunt... look at Luo Xin, look at her. How do you want me to stop it, how can I be willing to stop it? And... how? Can you stop it?”

Xu Siniang looked at Shen Luoxin who was about to cry a few steps away. This child had been more precocious than his peers since he was a child. While other children of the same age were still sniffing and playing in the mud, this child already had an incompatible quietness. Sometimes She would go to the study room to find books to read and ask her if she could understand all the words? She said she recognized some. When Xu Siniang heard what she said, she didn't care much. She would neither praise her for being so good nor persuade her to play with children of the same age. She would only sit down and teach her how to read when she had free time.

She had never even considered whether the books related to writing in her study were suitable for a child to use as a calligraphy enlightenment.

Xu Siniang knew that she was not a good mother who knew what was right and what was good. She actually had very little education for Shen Luoxin, and sometimes she would even sigh with emotion like "Why did this child grow up all of a sudden?" Shen Luoxin rarely called her "Mother", sometimes she would call her "Mother" more seriously, and most of the time he would call her by her first and last name. Xu Siniang didn't care - the two of them seemed to be living together. The mother and daughter are not very familiar, but they are not strangers, they are not very close, but they are dependent on each other.

It fits.

But at this moment, the child, who had rarely cried since he was born, had trembling corners in his pursed mouth. He stood there with his fists clenched and said nothing, with turbulent and suppressed emotions in his eyes.

Feeling sorry for the child for a moment, she opened her mouth and said, "Luo Xin...obey me. We can't hand over this recipe, we have to take the overall situation into consideration..."

"Mother..." Shen Luoxin pinched the palm of her hand with her fingertips, and called out in a low voice, her voice trembling, "Mother... I don't care what happens to the East Palace or the world. The world is too heavy, and I'm just a little girl. I'm worried I can't afford it...Mom, when I hand over the prescription, you and I will leave Yanjing City and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to spend our leisure time. Will Yanjing City be filled with flowers blooming or people dying of hunger everywhere? , let’s not care about it, okay?”

She begged almost humbly.

Xu Siniang's expression changed and she became furious, "Shen Luoxin! What are you talking about?! Is this how I taught you in the past?"

The old lady pressed her hand gently and sighed, "Siniang, don't worry... The child wants to save you because she is filial. In her heart, you as a mother are more important than any country or the world. Those are just empty. , only you...only you get along with me day and night." After saying that, he lightly tapped Ji Wuyan's calf with the crutch in his hand, and scolded in a low voice, "What the hell is this kid doing in front of me? I have good eyesight. Let me..." Ji Wuyan took half a step back to give up his position. When he turned around, in a corner where no one could see him, a dagger no more than half the size of a palm was already clamped on his fingertips.

Xu Siniang wanted to save her, but she didn't want to give her the prescription...

The sound of horse's hoofbeats is slow and steady, coming from far to near.

Shangguan Chu is back.

The driver of the car was an unlucky guard. After Shangguan Chu got out of the car, he drove away without even giving Sanji a look.

Sanji had already released his grip on Xu Siniang's neck out of "outpouring kindness". When he saw Shangguan Chu approaching, he suddenly tightened his grip on Xu Siniang's neck and stepped back. But the guard on his face relaxed a little when he saw that Shangguan Chu was alone - as we all know, Shangguan Gongzi was a weak businessman with no strength.

"Oh! It's quite lively... Is this what it is?" Shangguan Chu walked lazily towards Ji Wuyan. On a cold winter day, he tightened the ties of his cloak and waved the folding fan in his hand without forgetting. He comforted Sanji, "Don't be nervous, don't use force with your hands, Xu Siniang is about to be strangled to death by you... Yes, loosen up a little. I am coming back from outside. If I had known that you had important matters to discuss here, I would have come through the back door." Let’s go. Hey, look, you’re nervous again. Is this young master that scary?”

Sanji was already stunned and seemed to be confused. He just pinched Xu Siniang and said nothing.

Ji Wuyan felt that Mr. Shangguan was not terrible, but he looked a little less like a normal person from head to toe and to the low-quality folding fan he bought from who knows where.

She asked Shangguan Chu in a low voice, "Where is Qingshan?"

But the other party's voice was not normal, but his voice was high, "Qingshan? Oh! I asked him to pick up Ning Xiuyuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wuyan's eyebrows jumped sharply, and he saw that Sanji's expression immediately changed. He obviously used some strength on his fingertips, took a step back, and urged, "It's just a prescription, why are you so slow?" ? Miss Ji is trying to cheat!"

Ji Wuyan secretly bit his alveolus before forcing a smile and said, "How could it be? I just said that Luo Xin will decide this matter today. Since she said that the prescription will be given to you, she will give it to you. Maybe the boy is slow, I'll tell him later." After saying that, he gritted his teeth and pinched Shangguan Chu, this fool!

"Idiot!" Shangguan Chu cried out in pain, with an exaggerated expression, but his eyes sharply looked at Xu Siniang, and then secretly looked at Ji Wuyan, as if he wanted to see some clues from Ji Wuyan's expression - he still Worried that Ning Xiuyuan's affair with Xu Siniang was about to be exposed. As for Xu Siniang's safety, after he heard Sang Ji's intentions, he no longer worried.

Isn’t it just a prescription?

Even if it was given to him, he could not find the snow toad even if it was given to him left and right.
