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

45 Mutton Soup

Yu Pingping had been protected by Mrs. Jiang since she was young. Everything went smoothly.

This was the first time she’d been bullied.

She went back to her house. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She got so angry that she couldn’t sleep all night.

In contrast, Yu Niaoniao slept soundly that night.

The next day was another sunny day.

There was a casserole sitting on the small stove under the porch. The lid was firmly closed, but a fragrance still wafted out.

There was mutton soup in the casserole. After a night of slow simmering, the mutton had long been stewed until it was soft and delicious. There was no longer the strong stench associated with mutton.

Dang Gui took a bite and was immediately overjoyed.

Yu Niaoniao smiled and asked, “Does it taste good?”

Dang Gui nodded hard. “It’s more than delicious. It’s super delicious!”

She had never had such delightful mutton soup!

There was definitely no way the two of them could finish a large pot of mutton soup.

Looking at the remaining half a pot of mutton soup, Dang Gui planned to leave it for lunch. However, in the next moment, she saw Yu Niaoniao pick up the soup spoon and scoop it out into a pottery jar.

Half a pot of mutton soup filled a pottery urn.

Yu Niaoniao closed the lid of the earthen jar, picked it up, and placed it in the food box.

There was hot water in the compartment of the food box. It had the effect of keeping it warm.

Dang Gui could not help but ask.

“What are you doing, Miss?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “You can’t eat too much mutton soup. It’s easy to get heaty. Take the rest to His Highness.”

Dang Gui was stunned.

At this moment, she did not know if she should feel sorry for the remaining half pot of mutton soup or for Duke Lang, who could only eat leftovers.

She spoke with difficulty. “It’s not good for us to give His Highness leftovers, right?”

Yu Niaoniao retorted righteously.

“How is it leftovers? We all scooped soup from the pot into bowls before drinking it. Our chopsticks didn’t even touch the soup in the pot. This soup is clean.”

“That’s true, but this soup is still leftovers. If His Highness finds out...”

As she spoke, Dang Gui’s voice gradually weakened.

However, Yu Niaoniao asked, “Do you think this mutton soup is delicious?”

Dang Gui nodded obediently and said that it was delicious.

Yu Niaoniao said, “We shared the delicious food with the Duke. This is a token of our appreciation. He should be happy to know.”

Dang Gui was speechless.

It actually made sense!

The two of them left the Yu Residence with the food box and rode the donkey straight to the Regional King’s Mansion.

... .

Yu Pingping had not slept the entire night and was in low spirits.

But the thought of her friends coming to the house roused her, and she began to groom herself seriously.

In order to thank her friends for helping to save Yu Sheng, Yu Fan especially got someone to send an invitation to come to her house to admire flowers and drink tea today.

Mrs. Jiang and Yu Kangtai also knew about this.

Mrs. Jiang specially instructed the chefs to use their best skills and make more delicious and exquisite food. She even asked someone to place the best flowers in the residence in the courtyard for ease of viewing.

After a night of rest, Yu Sheng’s health was much better.

When he learned that his benefactors were coming, he specially ordered someone to prepare a gift.

There were a total of three daughters invited this time. They were Ji Wenjing, the legitimate daughter of the Assistant Minister of Rites, Yang Xianrong, the legitimate daughter of the physician, and Wan Jiatong, the illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

The three of them had already learned from their elders that Yu Sheng had been acquitted. They knew that the Yu family was safe this time.

They sighed with relief.

This way, they no longer had to distance themselves from Yu Pingping. The four of them could still play together as usual.

When the three of them arrived at the Yu Residence, they were treated warmly.

Just as the entire residence was enjoying themselves, someone from the Jiang family suddenly came.
