Chapter 25

Yu Kangtai’s body swayed. His entire being seemed to have been sucked dry, and he instantly aged several years.

Mrs. Jiang grabbed Yu Niaoniao’s hand again and sobbed.

“Go beg Duke Lang to let Sheng’er go. If you really can’t, I’ll go with you. I’ll kneel and kowtow to him. As long as he can let Sheng’er go, I’ll do anything!”

Yu Pingping had been peeking out the door.

She saw her mother pleading with Yu Niaoniao and could not stand it anymore. She lifted her skirt and ran in.

She grabbed Mrs. Jiang’s hand and said loudly.

“Mother, don’t beg her. I’ll think of a way to save Brother!”

Yu Qianqian took the opportunity to withdraw her hand.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes. “What can you do?”

Yu Pingping was speechless for a moment, unable to answer.

But she continued stubbornly.

“I’ll think of something. There’s always a way!”

Mrs. Jiang was in despair. She hugged her and cried.

Seeing her mother crying so sadly, Yu Pingping’s emotions were affected. Sorrow welled up in her and she started crying as well.

Yu Kangtai hugged the mother and daughter, tears flashing in his eyes.

While drinking tea and munching on melon seeds, she admired the touching scene of the family of three hugging one another and crying.

When she was tired of crying, Yu Pingping looked up.

She wiped away her tears and glared angrily at Yu Niaoniao.

“It’s your brother who’s in jail. Why aren’t you worried or sad at all? You’re too cold-blooded!”

Yu Niaoniao cracked a melon seed.

She spoke between bites.

“He’s perfectly fine in prison. Not a scratch on him. Why should I be sad?”

Yu Kangtai was indeed a government official. He immediately grasped the main point and hurriedly asked.

“How do you know Sheng’er is fine? Have you seen him?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang immediately stopped crying and hurriedly looked at Yu Qianqian, waiting for her answer.

Yu Qianqian did not hide anything and admitted it frankly.

“That’s right. I just went to the Justice Department and saw Yu Sheng in his cell.”

Mrs. Jiang asked anxiously, “How’s Sheng’er? Was he bullied?”

Grace Yu said, “He’s fine. Not a hair missing.”

Mrs. Jiang was slightly relieved, but then she became worried.

“I heard that the Eagle Guards are ruthless. Even if they don’t torture Sheng’er now, it doesn’t mean that they won’t torture him in the future.”

Yu Kangtai looked his eldest daughter up and down and asked suspiciously.

“A place like the Justice Department isn’t accessible to just anyone. How did you get in?”

Yu Niaoniao continued munching on melon seeds and replied casually.

“I begged the Prince of Lang. He agreed to let me in.”

Yu Kangtai was surprised.

With Duke Lang’s unreasonable temper, why would he agree to let an outsider enter the Justice Department?

Then, he recalled the recent rumors and could not help but look at Yu Niaoniao’s abdomen.

Was she treated differently due to her pregnancy?

Yu Pingping said quickly, “Then go and beg Duke Lang again and get him to agree to let us go in and see Brother.”

Hearing this, a look of hope immediately appeared on Mrs. Jiang’s face.

Even Yu Kangtai could not help but look at her, hoping that she would nod in agreement.

Yu Niaoniao blinked. “You want me to beg Duke Lang again?”

The three nodded in unison.

Yu Niaoniao smiled. “Sure.”

Before the three of them could rejoice, they heard her speak again.

“But I have a few small requests.”
