Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 958 One day she will come back
Facts have proved that if you can convince a drunk person, you may not be unable to convince a person who is pretending to be drunk.

Finally, Qingshan carried the brother and sister to Shangguan Shou's roof, holding the chick in one hand and the goose in the other.

The secret guards, who could finally take a break after Lin Yi's death, stared at this bizarre scene in amazement and looked at each other, not daring to move or ask. Perhaps the most wise and brave girl and boy in their family were preparing for something earth-shattering.

When they arrived at the grandfather's yard, Ji Wuyan took advantage of the two's inattention and secretly gave the few maids a drug to knock them all down. Miss Ji was not drunk. Although she had instigated Shangguan Chu to come over to "fulfill her dream", she had to save face. She did not run to the grandfather's yard at night and lift the roof...

Capable, but cannot leave a name.

So, the secret guards who were secretly watching what the brother and sister were going to do watched them climb onto the old man’s roof. Not long after, they started throwing tiles at the back of the house, having a lot of fun...

……

So what does this mean? These two siblings are up late at night trying to lift the roof of their own house?

Maybe... the brother and sister are filial and are planning to renovate the yard for the old man.

This explanation was very reasonable. The secret guards looked at each other, nodded frequently, and quietly retreated... Not long after, they quietly emerged one by one, hiding in the dark and watching - even if they wanted to repair their own yard, did they need to do it themselves? With just one order, how could they not do it well? I guarantee that not a single tile would be left for him in a moment! And even if they had to do it themselves, why did they have to do it so late at night? Where would the old man live when he came back later?

Weird, weird... A strange thing that only happens once in a thousand years. But it's also quite interesting. Let's continue watching.

So, in full view of everyone, Shangguan Chu pulled Ji Wuyan and excitedly lifted the roof of his grandfather's house.

Fortunately, Shangguan Chu was a weak scholar after all, and he was panting with his hands on his hips after doing the physical work of "lifting the roof" for a while. But it can be seen that he was really happy, with his hands on his hips and laughing, and he told Ji Wuyan breathlessly, "When I was a child, the old man always wanted to send me to the imperial examination to become an official in the court to bring honor to the family. In fact, I didn't particularly like doing business at that time... I was still young at that time, what did I know! It seems that I simply don't like that teacher, who can only close his eyes and shake his head and talk about it, but he doesn't teach me anything else. When I asked him what the book meant, he said I was stupid!"

"I was naturally annoyed with him. I knew that he prided himself on being a scholar and would look down on the days of doing business, so I said that on purpose to irritate him." After saying this, he laughed to himself. He didn't expect that his words would come true.

Ji Wuyan sat on the rooftop that was affected, hugged her knees and asked Shangguan Chu, "When did you set up the idea of ​​removing the tiles from the rooftop... um, the great dream?"

Shangguan Chu lay down beside her, resting his head on his hands and looking at the sky. Thinking of the old things from his childhood, he couldn't help but laugh. "I told him that this gentleman was just a man seeking fame and reputation and had no real ability, but he insisted that I was stubborn... I was naturally very angry. But my father was a filial son. If I said something rude to the old man, I would be the one who got beaten and punished. So, every day before going to bed, I imagined lifting his roof..."

Ah... Ji Wuyan opened his mouth silently, wanting to say, how lame and pitiful. Thinking about it, he felt that this little brother who dared to be angry but not to speak out was really cute.

She tilted her head to look, and saw Shangguan Chu resting his head on his arms, holding his eyes, breathing slowly, as if he was asleep. She called out softly, "Brother?"

The other party did not answer. It seems that lifting the roof is indeed a strenuous job...

She looked at Shangguan Chu, whose breathing was slow, and suddenly smiled. She also followed his example and lay on the roof with her hands under her head, staring at the night sky in a daze. After a while, she gently called out, "Brother... I feel that she will come back one day. What do you think?"

No one answered her.

The moonlight was clear, the stars were twinkling, and in the more distant night sky, there seemed to be a boiling noise, which was heard in the eastern suburbs, leaving only the shadowy echoes...

……

Ji Wuyan was awakened by Ning Xiuyuan.

When I woke up, I found myself still lying on the roof. Shangguan Chuye was still sleeping beside me, soundly asleep. But there was Ning Xiuyuan beside me. On the other side, the faint light of candlelight shone through the roof with tiles removed - it was obvious that my grandfather was back.

Her sleepy head was shivered by the cold wind, and she subconsciously wanted to run away, but was grabbed by Ning Xiuyuan. The man sat next to her and held her hand, teasing leisurely, "Don't you think it's too late to run now?"

Ji Wuyan looked back and glared at him - this guy who only wanted to make the world chaotic! It was also his fault. He thought that with Qingshan guarding him, he would not be caught by the old man, so he lost his vigilance and fell asleep. He didn't expect... Qingshan was so unreliable!
Ji Wuyan's grinding of her back teeth was too obvious, like a tiger cub baring its teeth and claws. Ning Xiuyuan found it interesting, but he didn't continue teasing her. He pointed his mouth towards the light and reminded her in a low voice, "He's drunk and asleep."

Only then did Ji Wuyan notice that there was a faint smell of alcohol in the air.

They didn't leave in this empty garden, which showed that they had drunk a lot. No wonder they didn't come back even though the palace gates had been locked. They had gone out to drink. She leaned close to Ning Xiuyuan and sniffed, then curled her lips, "I thought of leaving dinner for you... I'm fine if you want to drink, but why did you drink so much?"

As he was talking, Shangguan Chu, who was sleeping next to him, seemed to be disturbed. He mumbled something inaudible, sniffed, and fell asleep again.

Ning Xiuyuan leaned over to look at him, then quietly asked Ji Wuyan, "I'll tell you when I get back, or are you going to wait until your grandfather sobers up before leaving?"

If you don't go now, when will you wait?
Ji Wuyan nodded, and pointed at Shangguan Chu behind him, "Take him back too." Anyway, those who dared to complain in this family have been knocked unconscious by her, and the rest... even if they were given more courage, they would not dare to say anything. Tomorrow, when my grandfather wakes up and sees this mess, he will rack his brains and can't think of who did it. It just so happens that he is drunk again... It's not impossible to put the blame on someone else.

The fox-like girl smiled evilly.

Ning Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, but said, "No need. Qingshan is taking care of the old man in the house, and he will naturally take Brother Chu back later... The servants are all asleep, and I can't wake them up, so I can only trouble him to take care of it for a while. Let's go first."

Ji Wuyan thought about it and realized that this was right. Going to his brother's yard from here was in the opposite direction and it would be troublesome to go back and forth. Since Qingshan was in the house, there would be no problem with this matter.
