Chapter 175 - 175 Consummation
175 Consummation
At the critical moment, Yu Niaoniao was still very loyal.
She stood up for Dang Gui.
“Dang Gui is not the only one who said the wrong thing. I also compared the county prince to a pig. If you want to punish someone, punish me too.”
Dang Gui was immediately moved to tears.
Xiao Juan asked expressionlessly.
“Do you think I look like a pig?”
Dang Gui was about to explain when she heard Yu Niaoniao speak quickly.
“Pigs are so cute. They’re fair, fat, and especially likable. Moreover, they’re honest and have excellent morals. Most importantly, they’re covered in treasures! Be it pig ears, pig faces, pig brains, pig legs, pig hooves, pigtails, or pig hearts, pig liver, pig lungs, and pig intestines, each of them can be made into an excellent delicacy! In my heart, pigs are the cutest animal in the world, and you are as cute as a pig in my heart!”
After saying that, she did not forget to pinch two small hearts with her fingers in front of her chest.
Xiao Juan was speechless.
How on earth could she talk nonsense with a straight face?
Xiao Juan said, “Since you like pigs, I’ll give you a nickname. I’ll call you Little Pig in the future.”
Yu Niaoniao choked.
Damn it, she had been tricked!
She said shyly, “I’m a girl. It’s not appropriate to call me Little Pig, right?”
Xiao Juan felt that her words made sense, so he changed his words.
“Then I’ll call you Little Pink Pig.”
Yu Niaoniao blurted out, “You might as well call me Peppa.”
Xiao Juan said, “The name Peppa is a little strange, but if you like it, I’ll call you Peppa from now on.”
Yu Niaoniao did not expect him to take it seriously!
She hastily declined. “No, the name Peppa is already used by someone else. I’d better change it.”
Xiao Juan said, “It doesn’t matter. You’re my princess consort. As long as that person isn’t a relative of the royal family, he’s not qualified to snatch your name. In the future, Peppa will be your nickname.”
At this moment, Duke Lang looked like the domineering prince in the story.
He gave his new little wife a nickname, Peppa.
Yu Niaoniao covered her face silently.
She was full of regrets!
If she had known that she would get herself into trouble, she would never have indulge in so much nonsense.
Seeing that Duke Lang had no intention of punishing her, Dang Gui heaved a sigh of relief.
She climbed quietly to her feet and scurried out, staying close to the wall.
Xiao Juan sat down by the bed and reached out to touch her forehead to confirm that her temperature had returned to normal.
He asked, “How are you feeling, Peppa? Any other discomfort?”
Yu Peppa Niaoniao spoke with difficulty, swallowing her shame.
“I’m much better already.”
Xiao Juan said, “I’ve already asked the Eagle Guards to search outside the city according to the route you provided.”
Yu Niaoniao really wanted the other party to forget Peppa Pig and hurriedly changed the topic.
“How did it go? Did you find Che Xuekun?”
Xiao Juan said that he had found it.
“But the man is dead. The Eagle Guards brought back only a corpse.”
The corpse that was brought back looked miserable. It looked like it had suffered inhumane torture before it died.
Yu Niaoniao was surprised. “Dead? Who killed him?”
Xiao Juan said, “I don’t know yet. The body has been handed over to Little Lo for examination. There should be a result tomorrow.”
Shen Junzhi’s figure appeared in Yu Niaoniao’s mind.
Could he have killed Che Xuekun?
She didn’t think so. Shen Junzhi doesn’t seem like the type to kill others.
But on second thought, one could not judge a book by its cover. Shen Junzhi’s background was a mystery. Who could guarantee that he was not hiding another face?
“Peppa, Peppa!”
Xiao Juan shouted twice before Yu Niaoniao regained her senses.
“What are you thinking? Why are you thinking so hard?”
Yu Niaoniao took a deep breath. “My name is wife. My real name is Baby. My nickname is Darling. You can call me whichever you like.”
Just stop calling her Peppa!
No matter which name it was, Xiao Juan could not say it.
So he insisted.
“Peppa suits you better.”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
Was what it meant to lift a rock to hit her own foot? It must be!
In case the other party called her Peppa again, Yu Niaoniao decided to forcefully change the topic.
“Actually, I ran into an acquaintance on my way back to the city. I suspect that person might have killed Che Xuekun.”
Xiao Juan asked who that person was.
Yu Niaoniao said, “His name is Shen Junzhi. He used to live in my house for two years. He’s my stepfather’s student.”
Then, she described Shen Junzhi’s appearance.
Xiao Juan expressed that he had never seen this person before.
“There are many commoners in the Imperial Capital. Tomorrow, I’ll get someone to check the household register and see if there’s someone called Shen Junzhi.”
Yu Niaoniao nodded. “Yes.”
Xiao Juan’s mind was filled with thoughts.
He wanted to ask her why she hadn’t mentioned that she had met Shen Junzhi before. What was she hiding? What was her relationship with Shen Junzhi?
But in the end, he didn’t ask anything.
Because he knew in his heart that some things would make both sides feel awkward if he asked too clearly.
He had to be confused when he had to be.
Xiao Juan changed the topic.
“Peppa, you’re coming into the palace with me tomorrow.”
Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “Why?”
Xiao Juan said, “The emperor wants to see you.”
Yu Niaoniao had once followed Yu Kangtai into the palace and had also seen the emperor from afar at a banquet. Therefore, she was not very nervous about entering the palace.
She nodded. “Okay.”
After dinner, the maids brought hot water and helped them wash up.
Yu Niaoniao was a little nervous.
Was Duke Lang going to sleep with her tonight?
Xiao Juan was also hesitating. Where should he sleep tonight?
Logically speaking, he and Yu Niaoniao should be sleeping together.
But what if Yu Niaoniao was unwilling to sleep with him?
He didn’t want to impose.
However, if he slept elsewhere tonight, people would misunderstand that he did not like Yu Niaoniao. There would probably be rumors that they were not on good terms.
He was fine with it himself, but he did not want Yu Niaoniao to become someone else’s topic of conversation.
After washing up, Dang Gui and the other maids left.
The door closed.
Only Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan were left in the room.
Yu Niaoniao was only wearing a thin middle shirt. Her long black hair hung behind her, and her face without makeup looked exceptionally fresh and beautiful.
She sat on the edge of the bed and asked the man.
‘Where would you like to sleep tonight?’
Xiao Juan asked, “Where do you want me to sleep?”
How could Yu Niaoniao answer?
There seemed to be only one answer.
She said shyly, “Here, of course.”
Xiao Juan walked over and sat down beside her.
Somehow, his heart was beating a little faster. He could not look at the girl beside him.
He said solemnly.
“It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”
Yu Niaoniao replied, “Yes.”
Initially, she was worried that the man would do something to her. Unexpectedly, when the man said he wanted to sleep, he really just wanted to sleep.
Xiao Juan covered himself with the blanket and closed his eyes. His limbs were very well-behaved, and he had no intention of crossing the line.
Yu Niaoniao could not help but ask.
“Don’t you want to consummate the marriage?”
At the critical moment, Yu Niaoniao was still very loyal.
She stood up for Dang Gui.
“Dang Gui is not the only one who said the wrong thing. I also compared the county prince to a pig. If you want to punish someone, punish me too.”
Dang Gui was immediately moved to tears.
