Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 965 Fortunately I didn't say it
The Ji family's carriage slowly stopped at the door. Ji Wuyan turned around and bent her knees. Just as she was about to leave, Li Yiwei suddenly called out, "Miss Ji."

The other party seemed stunned, stopped on the next step and looked back silently.

The surprise was not concealed, and clearly conveyed to Li Yiwei Miss Ji's doubts: We are just pretending to be friends in front of the old man, and now that the show is over, there is no friendship anymore. Li Yiwei couldn't help but feel awkward in such eyes. He frowned, and after a while, he called out, "Miss Ji... I don't know..."

What exactly he "didn't know"? Even he himself couldn't explain it.

It seemed that he had a lot to say, and he really wanted to break the current phenomenon of "whitewashing the truth", but when he was really ready to speak, it seemed as if everything was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.

The astonishment in the other person's eyes had disappeared without a trace, and his expression was impeccable. He turned around and smiled, and asked, "What do you want, Prince? Just tell me."

Yes, it was this kind of gentleness and calmness, with reason and evidence, and there was nothing wrong with it. If one must nitpick, it would be that she was not polite - that was impolite.

But Ji Wuyan has always been like this.

It is this "it's always been like this" that makes people feel powerless, as if nothing has ever happened, as if no matter what happens, it makes no difference to her, as if... I am the only one who is embarrassed by this "whitewashing". This kind of thinking makes people suffer and unhappy, and it always seems that they can't get motivated.

However, Li Yiwei hesitated for a while, and swallowed back all the words and sentences stuck in his throat, and said, "Nothing. I just want to say that grandma likes girls. If you have time, come to the Bai family and talk to her. When you are here, she smiles much more than usual... That's all. If you find it inconvenient, just think of it as me saying too much."

"No. I get along very well with Madam Bai, and I also like talking to her. It's not inconvenient to visit her often." She smiled and replied, then bent her knees slightly, "Then, I will go back today."

Li Yiwei stood there and nodded, with one hand behind his back and the other hand waving, "Go slowly, girl."

The other party had already walked down the stairs and did not look back until he got on the carriage and left.

Li Yiwei was still standing on the steps at the door, not knowing whether he was daydreaming or watching the other party, his eyes stayed on the direction where the carriage left. The servant called him twice, and he seemed to wake up and retracted his gaze, looking at the servant beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

What's wrong? Shouldn't we go back? What is the prince looking at? Is it the girl? Although he was surprised and curious, the servant just lowered his head and asked, "Your Highness, are you going back?"

Li Yiwei glanced at the direction where the Ji family's carriage left, then shook the corner of his robe and walked down the steps, "Let's go back. The time agreed with the Ministry of Works is almost up, and we don't want to keep people waiting for too long."

"Yes." You know it's not good to keep people waiting? Why did you watch the girl go away with your eyes wide open, looking reluctant to leave... Most importantly, this girl is already in a relationship, with Master Ning San. Master Ning San is protecting her like an old hen protecting her chicks, how dare you covet her?
Li Yiwei had no idea that his servant had such wild ideas. Just now, as he watched the carriage go farther and farther away, he remembered their first meeting in Fengchenju. The chaotic words that were stuck in his throat at that time seemed to be strung together by an invisible thread... He wanted to ask, is there still a chance for them to make peace? But why didn't he ask at that time? Perhaps when Ji Wuyan looked at him with a smile, Li Yiwei subconsciously realized that this was a very stupid idea.

That kind of smile, with the corners of his mouth pursed and his eyebrows curved, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes, and he looked distant and cold.

He already knew that there was no chance of reconciling the past grudges.

Ji Wuyan looked gentle and easy to talk to. Sometimes, even if she was offended, she would just laugh it off. But in fact, she had her own scale in her heart, and she clearly remembered every grudge and gain and loss between us. Obviously, his many targeting and planning had touched her bottom line, and this grudge could not be easily eliminated.

Now he is still willing to smile at me, I am afraid it is because of my grandmother's face. Otherwise, although he will not treat me coldly, he will definitely keep his distance from me.

Forget it... I thought we would meet in the future, so it would be awkward. It would be best if we could talk it out. If we really can't, it's better than leaving it unresolved.

Perhaps because of the mention of Ji Wuyan, the servant in the carriage couldn't help but speak tentatively, "Your Highness, when I was at the Bai family just now, I heard a few maids talking about why the girl from the Shen family left in a hurry... This matter sounded a bit strange, so I couldn't help but tell you about it. You just happen to be free, so why not listen to it to relieve your boredom?"

Li Yiwei leaned against the carriage wall and didn't say anything, just nodded indifferently. It had been several days since the incident of the Shen family. The topic of gossip in the city could change several times a day. This topic was considered to have passed, but officials in the court always sighed when talking about it, and felt that they didn't understand what Shen Qian was thinking. What could he think? Just the fact that he brought Shangguan Shou into the emperor's bedroom without authorization that night was destined to make him not go far in his official career. It would be better for him to resign and return home after this incident, and still have a good reputation as a loving wife.

The servant kept talking, and Li Yiwei listened with one ear and one ear out. Suddenly, he was slightly stunned and looked up. "What did you just say? What medicine?"

"It's the miracle doctor's life-saving medicine!" The servant was confused. "Your Highness, you should know about this, right? I heard that the medicine was originally sent to Xu Si Niang, but it was not used, and finally used on Miss Shen. Then there is a little maid who said that people are saying that if the medicine had been used on Xu Si Niang, Xu Si Niang might not have died... She also said that Shen Luoxin didn't know about this at first, and that Miss Shen left after she knew about this. She was originally planning to go to Jiangnan with Miss Ji."

"These things are a mess, and I am confused for a moment, so I want to ask Your Highness."

Li Yiwei leaned against the car window, unable to utter a word.

He suddenly felt that his original intention to resolve the past grudge was probably more like a joke to Ji Wuyan.

Fortunately... I didn't say it in the end.
