Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 945 Ning Xiuyuan is not a good person

Ning Xiuyuan kicked him angrily and continued to despise him, "If you're still alive, get out of here!"

Bai Xing was stunned and failed to dodge, and was kicked directly. His calf was in pain, but he still stood there without moving, staring at Ning Xiuyuan with his eyes wide open, "You..."

"Didn't you just call me a worthless person? Now you're using a respectful title?" Ning Xiuyuan stuffed Ji Wuyan back into the quilt, wrapping her tightly with only her head exposed, and said without turning his head, "Over the years, you've always called me 'Third Master', and I responded. But ask yourself, I've never acted like an official in front of you, right? It's you who's been putting on a stage in your stomach all day long to perform some inexplicable drama!"

His words were very serious. Bai Xing lowered his head and remained silent. Although he felt a little embarrassed about having his thoughts exposed, he did not refute a word.

Ning Xiuyuan usually looks very stable and doesn't talk much, but he actually sees everything and his mind is as clear as a mirror. Bai Xing thought that with his little bit of Taoism, he couldn't hide anything from Ning Xiuyuan - if he couldn't hide it, he would be humiliated. He smiled and said goodbye to Ji Wuyan with a familiar nonchalant attitude, "Well, you have a good rest, I'll ask Zi Qiu to take me to the warehouse to move the treasures!"

Ji Wuyan wanted to wave goodbye, but was quickly pushed under the quilt by Ning Xiuyuan, who turned around and said, "Zi Qiu is busy, don't disturb him. Let Xi Yu take you there."

Bai Xing stumbled and turned his head in disbelief to look at Ning Xiuyuan: Does this guy need to protect his child like this? When he heard that he was going to the warehouse to move the treasure, he actually sent Xi Yu to watch him? He was just talking nonsense, could he really do such a crazy thing as emptying the little girl's warehouse? He rubbed his back teeth, smiling with his face but not his heart, and every word was squeezed out from his teeth, "The play sung on the stage in Lord Ning's stomach is not as good as mine!"

After saying that, he turned around, strode out with his chin raised, "Xi Yu, let's go! Your master has told you to help me move the treasure!"

Ji Wuyan shook his head and laughed, "He was just joking. Even if I gave him the entire warehouse, he wouldn't want it. Why do you have to make him angry?"

"I know." Ning Xiuyuan retreated back to the couch, picked up the book he had been reading before and flipped through it casually, saying in a calm voice, "Since he knew you were not feeling well, he had to keep nagging on and on about so many things. He got stuck in a dead end and refused to come out, but it made your throat tired. It was to irritate him."

Ji Wuyan turned over and lay on her side, looking at Ning Xiuyuan, gossiping curiously, "I thought the Bai family had higher standards before, and they didn't even take the beautiful ladies in Yanjing City seriously, so why did they finally choose the girl from the Minister of Rites' family?"

Ning Xiuyuan closed the book in his hand and tilted his head to look over. "Why do you think Bai Xing suddenly agreed to get married? Was he really shocked and suddenly realized that he was such a jerk and made the elders worry too much, so now he is turning back and preparing to be a good person?"

"Is it not?"

"Oh! That boy is very smart. He agreed to the marriage on the condition that he would not enter the officialdom in the future, and he personally selected the girl. He knows in his heart that if he chooses a girl with too high a social status and tells her in advance that he will not enter the officialdom in the future, the girl will definitely not be willing to marry him. If he does not tell her in advance, she will urge him to become an official every day, and I am afraid that she will not be able to have peace of mind, and her life will certainly not be easy. The Bai family is originally a royal family, so there is no need to rely on the power of the girl's family. As long as the threshold is not too different, the elders will be happy to accept it... The girl from the family of the Minister of Rites, in terms of status, can just barely meet the goals of both parties. Of course, what he said to you is also the truth." Ning Xiuyuan sat up, looked at Ji Wuyan, shook his head and smiled, "You underestimated Bai Xing." "He is just a pure-hearted person who doesn't like intrigues. When it comes to insight and intelligence, he is not inferior to anyone."

His evaluation was very high, and Ji Wuyan rarely heard Ning Xiuyuan praise others like this. But on second thought, Ning Xiuyuan and Bai Xing had always been good friends, so it could be explained as birds of a feather flock together.

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. The voice was very light, and Zi Qiu's voice was even softer, "Third Master... Third Master, the medicine is ready, is the girl still asleep?" The voice was very low, even too low to be interrupted, like a thief's voice.

"Drink the medicine first and then go to sleep." Ning Xiuyuan stood up and walked to the door, opened the door, and took the medicine. Zi Qiu was very "sensible" and found an excuse to leave without waiting for Ning Xiuyuan's instructions. He turned around and took two steps, feeling uneasy and hesitant to speak for a while, but then he felt that it was inappropriate for him to instruct Lord Ning with his identity, so he knelt down and left.

Perhaps it was because the medicine contained calming and sleep-inducing herbs. Not long after Ji Wuyan finished drinking it, he yawned and fell asleep lazily.

When she woke up, she heard that Bai Xing had left. The man who threatened to empty her warehouse only took away two things in the end - a piece of brocade silk and a night-shining pearl. Ji Wuyan listened, shook her head and chuckled, "The night-shining pearls in my warehouse are not valuable. He probably played with them himself. The brocade silk... must have been given to my future sister-in-law. Now it seems that this future sister-in-law was indeed chosen by him. Although he kept saying that the elders were very satisfied, I think... he was satisfied too."

"The young master of the Bai family is not one who would compromise himself." Ning Xiuyuan waved his hand and let Xi Yu go, then he grumbled, "It's better for Bai Xing not to be an official. With his personality, he will live longer as a free and easy businessman than as an official in the court. As for you, worry less about other people's affairs and worry more about yourself."

"I really can't sleep... I've slept for a whole night and a whole day. I can't sleep as well as a pig."

"If you can't sleep, just close your eyes and rest. Mr. Chen didn't say you can get up."

She pursed her lips, and reached out her hand from under the quilt, tugged at Ning Xiuyuan's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Third brother..."

Ning Xiuyuan slapped the claw away and stuffed it back, "Shut up, your voice makes me uncomfortable."

"..."So, Miss Ji watched Ning Xiuyuan, who used to obey her in everything, sit by the window again. He even blocked Ji Feng and Shangguan Shou who wanted to come in to visit her. He lied to them with his eyes open and told them that she had not slept well the whole night and had just taken some medicine to take a light sleep... Who would dare to "disturb" her then?
Ji Wuyan gritted his teeth as he listened to every word in the room. He always felt that Ning Xiuyuan was very much like a treacherous minister who was holding the emperor hostage to control the princes.

Although... she is not the emperor, Ning Xiuyuan is indeed not a good person.
