Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child

Chapter 24: Ruthless Law

On the way back, the coachman deliberately slowed down the car, afraid that a rough ride would affect the baby in Yu Niaoniao’s belly.

By the time the carriage returned to the Yu residence, the sun was almost setting.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Yu Niaoniao was about to jump down.

The coachman shouted hurriedly, “Wait!”

He quickly fetched the footstool and put it beside the carriage.

“Eldest Miss’s body is precious. You must not jump around. Please be careful.”

Yu Niaoniao did not mind. “It’s fine. I’m in good health!”

After getting out of the car, she trotted toward the mansion, her steps as brisk as a swallow’s.

Dang Gui placed the iron pot on her head and asked as she chased after her.

“Shall we see his lordship first, my lady?”

Without looking back, she said, “Let’s go back to Green Jade Residence and cook!”

She couldn’t wait to try her new kitchen knife and iron pot.

When she heard that there was good food, she immediately forgot about her master and ran like the wind.

When they returned to the Green Jade Residence, Dang Gui remembered that the small stove and seasoning they had hidden were all used during the last barbecue.

Dang Gui wanted to go out and buy furnaces and ingredients.

However, she was stopped by Yu Niaoniao.

“It’s almost dark. Stop fussing.”

Dang Gui said anxiously, “But we don’t have a stove and seasonings. How can we make delicious food?”

Yu Niaoniao took out a handful of melon seeds from the snack box and said slowly.

“Go write a list of what you want to eat. Write down the ingredients and seasonings needed for those dishes. Someone will deliver them later.”

Dang Gui was in disbelief. Was there actually such an amazing thing?

She found a pen and paper and scribbled two large sheets of paper.

Just as she was about to write on the third piece of paper, Yu Kangtai and Mrs. Jiang rushed in.

Ever since Yu Sheng was captured by the Eagle Guards, the couple had been as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Their hearts were in turmoil and they felt terrible.

When they heard that Yu Niaoniao had returned, the couple thought that she would look for them.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, they did not see anyone.

They had no choice but to come to the Green Jade Residence.

Yu Kangtai questioned as soon as he entered.

“Why didn’t you meet me when you got back? Did you know we’d been waiting for you?”

Yu Qianqian answered truthfully, “I didn’t know.”

Yu Kangtai choked.

His stomach was full of reproach and complaints that were stuck in his throat. They didn’t go up or down and almost drove him to his grave.

Mrs. Jiang was concerned about her son’s safety and asked impatiently.

“How did it go? Did you see the Prince of Lang? Did he agree to release him?”

Yu Wenxian took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

“I met with the Prince of Lang. He said that there would be no mercy. It would be impossible to release him before the truth was discovered.”

Although Yu Kangtai had already expected this outcome, he could not help but feel extremely disappointed when he heard it with his own ears.

Mrs. Jiang’s eyes immediately turned red.

Unwilling to accept this reality, she grabbed Yu Niaoniao by the arm and spoke urgently.

“How can he do this? You’re his fiancée. Sheng’er is his future brother-in-law. How can he not even let his own brother-in-law off? Is his heart made of stone?”

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly steadied her hand. “Be careful, my tea is going to spill.”

Mrs. Jiang almost broke down.

“At a time like this, all you care about is your tea. Your own brother is going to die!”

Yu Niaoniao wriggled out of her grip. “Calm down.”

Yu Kangtai asked with a last trace of hope.

“Is there really no room for discussion?”

Yu Niaoniao answered crisply.

“No.”
