Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 9: Heal or stay in bed?

"Hey, it's out."

In view of Third Master Ning's participation, Bai Xing paid special attention to this matter in the Sima Mansion, and stood guard by the window from the beginning to the end. The first time he saw the troublesome nanny coming out, he was immediately surprised, "Hey, it looks a bit strange." What does it mean to return home without a feather, and the bed is also thrown into it?...Third Master, there are some powerful characters in this dusty house."

Ning Xiuyuan leaned against the back of the chair, unconsciously twirling the beads with his fingertips, and chuckled... No.

The woman surnamed Ji took great pains to direct and act in a play, just to get to know a girl... who doesn't seem to be important.

Shangguan has been hiding from the world for many years, and few people talk about it in the city, and the world gradually forgets about this generation of Shangguan's wife... Naiji.Maybe it's a coincidence, after all, there are thousands of people with the surname Ji in the world, but after a little research, I discovered some interesting things.

The Crown Princess died in a fire. At that time, no one survived in the Chongren Hall where the Crown Princess was located. The cause of the accident has not yet been ascertained, and there are many doubts.

Forced to do so, and to prove his innocence, the prince could only agree to Wu's autopsy, and the autopsy... also had some identity, she was Xu Siniang, the wife of Dr.That is, the mother of that seemingly unimportant girl.

It was more or less related to Shangguan Yuan.

Just a coincidence?

Ning Xiuyuan frowned, and after a while, let go of the coral beads in his hand, sighed, as if letting go of some kind of persistence and obsession, and ordered his followers, "Go to Sima Mansion later to see Yang Shaofei. It is rumored that he will lie down for ten days and a half months, so I will send him some medicine."

The follower, Xi Yu, was very upright, and asked, "Is it... the medicine that can heal him, or the medicine that can make him lie down?"

After asking, the master's eyes came, calm, cool, but... piercing.

Xi Yu shrank her neck, feeling a little aggrieved - it's not that the master has never done this to make people lie down, and most of their subordinates are well versed in this.In contrast, how to make the other party jump up and down quickly is somewhat confusing...

"I heard that the beating was quite ruthless." Bai Xing turned and approached, shaking his fan, with a careless smile, "It seems that he even slapped his face, if it was really caused by Feng Chenju, it would be admirable... People slap people in the face."

Ning Xiuyuan shook his head, "It's not Fengchenju." After speaking, he glanced at his subordinates lightly, "Aren't you going?"

He straightened his chest, retracted his abdomen, and saluted in one go, "It's over! This subordinate will retire."

Bai Xing closed the folding fan, pointed to the trembling door, "Xi Yu's temperament... has been by your side for many years, but she still escapes like this. You said it wasn't Fengchenju... but do you know who did it?"

"Oh." Ning Xiuyuan sneered, "The Yang family dotes on the youngest son, wants the stars not to give the moon, and has a bad habit of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, so Mrs. Yang is tight on his money, but that habit does not change, and he owes gambling money. A butt of debt..."

Bai Xing was dumbfounded again, "Being beaten by a gambling house?!... How do you know?"

Ning Xiuyuan picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, rolled his eyelids, and said casually, "The gambling house... the second brother opened it."

The eldest of the Ning family joined the army, and now he is a lieutenant general with illustrious military exploits. The third child entered the court at a young age and was an extremely powerful minister. The second child entered the cloth business from a merchant. It belonged to him, and he seemed to be the most unambitious of the three sons, but he was secretly making a living...Even if Bai Xing only knew one out of ten, he was still shocked.

Old Master Bai once said that the Duke of Ning's mansion has three sons from one family, each sitting in three directions, which is enough to protect the prosperity of the Duke of Ning for hundreds of years.

Hearing this and thinking about it, he was not surprised.After all, ordinary gambling houses would not have the guts to directly slap Sima Fu in the face.

He said with a sneer, "Second master's temperament is a true inheritance from the old man." Those who can solve it with their hands usually don't talk.

There is no need for Ning Xiuyuan to explain the following things, Bai Xing can guess roughly by himself.

Yang Shaofei has a bad reputation outside, but at home she always pretends to be innocent, and puts everything on crooked friends. She dared not tell her family if she lost money in a bet, and even less dare to mention it now that she was beaten. At the moment of getting married, I thought about pushing the girl. It would be even better to use the power of the family to drive the girl out of the city.

"This abacus... can be heard within a five-mile radius of Sima Mansion."

The corners of Ning Xiuyuan's mouth curled up slightly, he smiled and said nothing.

……

Even though she was a human being in two lifetimes, Shen Luoxin still had a temperament that couldn't hide her troubles. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary social animal. Although she experienced some injustices when she came to this world, she didn't learn how to behave like a city.

Now I have some doubts about Ji Wuyan in my heart, so I feel a little restless.

The uneasiness was obvious, Ji Wuyan pushed the teacup over, and she stretched out her hand in a daze, only to realize that she was still holding the oil-paper bag in her hand, feeling embarrassed that her toes were digging at the ground, "I'll try it for you, the pastry made by my mother , delicious...just, just..."

At that time, she thought that she didn't know the identity of her mother's co-author, so she wouldn't mind, but now...the oil-paper bag in her hand tightened tightly, and she didn't say the last words.

"Thank you." Ji Wuyan patted Ji Feng's head, met his shining eyes, and nodded.

With permission, Ji Feng took it with both hands, grinning and looking up to thank, "Thank you, Sister Shen!"

Cute and well-behaved, and a bit impatient.

Some plums, a few small packets of dried fruit, the amount of each packet is not large, there are quite a lot of varieties, Ji Feng tilted his head and squinted his eyes, tasted each of them, and packed one of the small packets into Ji Wuyan's arms Li, "Girl, girl, this is the best, here it is."

The little child left all the most delicious food to Ji Wuyan.

After putting away the small packet of snacks, Ji Wuyan didn't look at what it was, but just patted his head, "Zi Qiuna peeled a plate of pine nuts for you, you go to find her."

It was the girl who had something to say to Miss Shen, Ji Feng nodded and thanked again before leaving.

The initial embarrassment was washed away, and Shen Luoxin felt happy watching the child bouncing around, "Is he your brother?" But the child called Ji Wuyan a "girl"...

"Probably." Ji Wuyan nodded, "I picked it up a few years ago, and it was a poor child."

"Jiangnan picked it up?" He blurted out, even a little eagerly, which seemed extraordinarily abrupt.

After asking, Shen Luoxin gritted her teeth secretly - what can this city mansion do!Ah bah, there is no city mansion at all!
Looking at Ji Wuyan again, there was an indistinct smile in his eyes, maybe it was an illusion, but he was a bit narrow-minded.

That narrowness made Shen Luoxin feel like a fool even more.It's no wonder that others are royal princesses and daughters of the noble family through time travel, but she is the daughter of a gangster - this brain, if it has some status, can't survive two episodes.
