Chapter 56



56 Anger

Yu Niaoniao was telling the truth.

She had to make the earth oven before dark. There was really no time for anything else.

The maidservant felt that she was deliberately putting on airs. She was dissatisfied, but she still maintained a respectful appearance.

“Madam said that she needs your help with something very important. Please take some time to go over.”

Hearing this, Yu Niaoniao looked puzzled. “Since it’s a very important matter, why didn’t she look for me directly? Why did she have to send someone to look for me? Isn’t this a waste of time?”

The maid was speechless.

Yu Niaoniao said, “Go back first. I’ll look for her when I’m done. If she can’t wait, she can come straight to me.”

With that, she continued to bury her head in the mud.

The maidservant bit her lower lip. “Madam sent me to invite you over. If I don’t succeed, I’ll be punished. Miss, please don’t make things difficult for me.”

Yu Niaoniao turned to her. “You think I’m giving you a hard time?”

The maid pursed her lips and said nothing.

But she could tell from her expression that was what she meant.

Yu Niaoniao sighed and said helplessly.

“I can’t help it if you insist. Whatever you say.”

The maidservant was speechless.

For some reason, she became even angrier!

She stood there for a while longer but saw that Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui were buried in the mud and had no intention of responding to her.

She had no choice but to slink back to report.

As soon as the maidservant left, Yu Sheng arrived.

He froze when he saw Yu Niaoniao playing with the mud.

“What are you guys doing?”

As she worked, she explained to him the structure and usage of the earth oven.

Yu Sheng could not help but admire his sister’s brain. She actually had such strange ideas.

Yu Niaoniao glanced at him. “Are you here to ask me to help plead for mercy too?”

Yu Sheng had already heard from others that Jiang Ze had been captured.

He said seriously, “You’re not familiar with Cousin Jiang Ze. You’re not obligated to help him.”

Yu Niaoniao smiled. She did not expect this bookworm to be so understanding.

She asked again, “So what are you doing here?”

“I’m here to confirm something with you. Was it really you who helped save me from the Justice Department?”

The thank-you gift that Yu Sheng had prepared was returned. After asking, he realized that Yu Pingping had misunderstood. Her friends had not helped at all.

Since it wasn’t them, someone else must have helped.

Yu Sheng quickly thought of Yu Niaoniao.

Yu Sheng had specially come to the Green Jade Residence to ask Yu Niaoniao about it.

Yu Niaoniao wanted to casually bring it up with a joke, but seeing that he was serious, it was obvious that he thought this was very important. She could only put away her joke and ask him back.

“Would you believe me if I said yes?”

Yu Sheng had obviously thought about this on the way here.

Now he nodded without hesitation.

“I do.”

Yu Niaoniao was a little interested. “Why?”

Yu Sheng explained his analysis.

“There’s no point in lying to me. Moreover, this matter involved the Eagle Guards and the Justice Department. I just had to go to the Justice Department to verify this matter and quickly get the truth. Even if you wanted to lie, you wouldn’t tell a lie that could be easily exposed.”

Yu Niaoniao had mixed feelings.

Yes, he could have asked everything clearly as long as he went to the Justice Department.

It was such a simple thing, but Yu Kangtai was unwilling to do it.

He would rather trust other people’s judgment of her than verify the truth himself.
