Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 887 A critical moment

Ji Wuyan's figure swayed slightly.

Shangguan Chu quickly supported her with his hands and eyes, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw that the little girl's face was pale.

Over there, Ning Xiuyuan's carriage arrived just in time, and the sound of the horse's hooves finally hitting the ground was the slow reverberation of those words... The people in the carriage were also shocked, and there was no movement for a long time. Sanji tilted his head and stared, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The driver of the car was Qingshan, who was always inseparable from Shangguan Chu.

The sound of the cane hitting the white marble floor was extremely heartbreaking to hear. The old lady hammered the ground "bang bang", feeling regret, annoyance, and resentment towards the Shangguan family, "That good boy said he would marry me... I said no, no, no! But that damn old man was so stubborn. If you want to be angry, let her go! What a poor child, what kind of life are you living here! Now that the person is gone, the dead old man feels regretful and uncomfortable, and feels shameless to see people huddled in a turtle shell. Can’t get out!”

When Ji Wuyan heard this, her face turned pale and she was about to collapse. She trembled her lips and slowly turned her head to look at Shen Luoxin. Shen Luoxin avoided her sight. She looked at Xu Siniang in disbelief, "These... you... Luo Xin has never mentioned it to me... you have never said it..."

She said "never" three times in a row, gritting her teeth and pulling the corners of her mouth, her expression uncontrollable, "I, I never knew... She only said everything is fine, everything is fine, and told me not to think about it, and she also said support She got a cat, a white cat that was just like Xiao Ning. She also said that the cat’s lifespan was too short and it was unlucky to call her Xiao Ning, so she named her Bao’er because her Xiao Ning would live a long life. ... She talks a lot in every letter home, and she talks like an old woman. But she never talks about what she really suffered... This fool! "

The little girl smiled foolishly, and then cried when she smiled. Tears filled her eyes and refused to fall.

The old lady behind her sighed repeatedly.

Xu Siniang looked at Ji Wuyan with pitiful eyes, nodded and said, "Yes... I told Luo Xin not to say anything. Although I didn't know your identity at that time, I could tell that you were a good boy who valued love and righteousness. Child. However, people cannot be resurrected, and living people should not be trapped in these regrets that are destined to be irreparable... You are only a teenager. "

She called Ji Wuyan "child" and followed the instructions as a compassionate elder. However, due to the inappropriateness of the occasion, she swallowed many of the words that came to her lips. After a long while, she only asked pointedly, "Child, what I said Do you understand these words?”

Ji Wuyan's eyes were still full of tears, but her expression gradually calmed down. The other party's words were hesitant and pointed, which gave her some bad premonitions. This is definitely not a good time to say these words, Xu Siniang will not know this.

Her words at this moment... sounded more like... she was afraid that she would have no chance in the future and had to confess her last words at this time.

Ji Wuyan's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. He only said gently, "Aunt, I know you are right, but let's save these words for later. Let's settle the matter in front of us today... Luo Xin "Give me the prescription and I'll deliver it."

"No." Sanji refused, "I want her to deliver it. Miss Ji, you are too narrow-minded. It's better to be more cautious before you get the prescription... Well, when Miss Shen hands the prescription to me, Then please ask Miss Ji and Xu Siniang to accompany me for a while." He changed his mind because Qingshan and Ning Xiuyuan, who had not shown up since then, were standing beside the carriage a few steps away.

Shen Luoxin paused as she took a step forward, "That's not what you said just now!" "I changed my mind." He grinned and pursed his lips confidently, "They say that the third master of the Ning family is so smart that he is almost a demon. Now that he doesn’t even get off the carriage, I naturally have to be more cautious.”

"How can we trust you if you go back on your word like this? What if you took the prescription and gave it to the prince, but then broke your promise and refused to let him go?"

Sanji looked at the little girl who was holding the prescription with red eyes and straining her neck. He smiled suddenly and raised his chin towards Ji Wuyan, "Look, Miss Ji wouldn't ask that. Miss Shen..." Maybe in your eyes, I'm just a heinous bastard who breaks my promise and gets fat. But behind me is the prince... If I break my promise, it won't matter if I die, but the Ning family and the Ji family will fight back at all costs, not to mention that the prince can't handle it. Hold on, even the entire Li royal family may not be able to bear it."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at the motionless carriage and asked in a loud voice, "Is that right, Third Master?"

The man in the carriage seemed to be smiling, his laughter was loose and lazy, and he said after a while, "The Duke of Guo has no intention of overstepping the bounds of the rules by eating the emperor's salary and taking on the emperor's duties."

It was an extremely high-sounding sentence, but after careful consideration, it seemed to be very intriguing. He neither denied nor admitted it... Even after he finished speaking, there was a slight sound of the teacup being placed on the table in the carriage.

At this juncture, Ning Xiuyuan was still leisurely drinking tea in the carriage... Sanji became more and more cautious. He tapped Shen Luoxin with the tip of his sword and called out, "It's normal for Miss Shen to have concerns. But like this Tell me, your mother's life is in my hands now. If you give me the prescription, it is very likely that she can be saved. If you don't give me the prescription... I can't tell others, but your mother will definitely not survive today. . How to choose, Miss Shen should make her own decision."

"Sangji!" Shen Luoxin's expression changed slightly. She really didn't expect the people in the East Palace to be so courageous! She held the Chinese medicine prescription in her hand and reminded her sternly, "She is a member of the family of an official of the imperial court, and my father is also a royal censor. If something happens to her, your master will not be able to explain it, right?"

Sanji smiled and raised his sword again, "I'm just a subordinate. I only need to do the tasks assigned to me by the master. As for the rest, I won't have to worry about it... not much nonsense. I said it, Miss Shen, bring me the prescription."

Shen Luoxin looked at Ji Wuyan and asked silently.

Ji Wuyan nodded slowly, then looked at Xu Siniang's bloodless face, and said gently but clearly, "Auntie, don't worry. I will be with you and nothing will happen to you."

Xu Siniang smiled and nodded, but her originally gentle expression still looked weak at this moment.

Shen Luoxin held the prescription and walked down one step at a time. There were only five steps. She walked very slowly. She had to take a slow step with each step. Time was stretched infinitely. Sanji had obviously waited. He got impatient, frowned and scolded, "What are you doing with your whining?"

Xu Siniang called out, "Luo Xin."
