77 Pitiful and Helpless
The second time her dream was disturbed, Yu Niaoniao expressed her extreme displeasure.
She looked at the jailer blankly.
“Do you know what time it is?”
The jailer did not understand, but he answered honestly, “It’s already midnight.”
Yu Niaoniao pounded the floor angrily. “That’s right. It’s late. Why aren’t you sleeping? Even if you’re not sleeping, you can’t disturb my sleep! Do you know how sleepy I am now? Do you know how important sleep is to my hairline?”
The jailer shrank back from her fierce stance.
He braced himself and said, “I didn’t mean to disturb your sleep. Duke Lang is here. He’s waiting for you outside.”
Yu Niaoniao was stunned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Why is Duke Lang here?”
The prison guard said ingratiatingly, “He probably heard about you and specially came to save you.”
He did not forget to flatter her.
“Duke Lang has really put in a lot of effort for you. I wish the two of you a blissful marriage and a son soon.”
Outside the prison cell of the Imperial Capital, Xiao Juan stood with his hands behind his back. His posture was as straight as a sharp sword, and the cloak behind him swayed gently with the night wind.
The bright moonlight fell on him, adding a hint of mystery.
The Justice Department had spies everywhere.
Almost at the same time that Yu Niaoniao was captured and brought into the Imperial Capital, the news reached Xiao Juan’s ears.
Xiao Juan had already fallen asleep. When he heard about this, he had no choice but to get up and personally come to the Imperial Capital to pick her up.
He looked at the two people walking out of the cell. His gaze quickly swept over Yu Niaoniao. She was clean and did not see any injuries. It did not look like she had suffered.
Yu Niaoniao jogged all the way to Duke Lang, her face filled with joy.
“Your Highness, did you come specially to pick me up?”
Xiao Juan said indifferently, “I just happened to be here at the Imperial Capital on business. When I heard that you were locked up here, I came to pick you up.”
Yu Niaoniao blinked. “It’s already so late. Are the people from the Imperial Capital still working?”
Xiao Juan casually replied, “Yes.”
Before Yu Niaoniao could ask further, he quickly changed the topic.
“Why did you sneak out of the house in the middle of the night again?”
Yu Niaoniao groaned. “I was kicked out of the house.”
Xiao Juan frowned slightly. “What’s going on?”
“I don’t know what happened either. My father suddenly went crazy and forced me to kneel down and apologize. I refused to kneel and he was about to whip me with a cane. I was so frightened that I fled the house.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMy father even said that he would never acknowledge me as his daughter again. I had nowhere to go but to wander the streets.”
As Yu Niaoniao spoke, she lowered her head and her voice lowered. She was like a homeless kitten, pitiful and helpless.
Xiao Juan’s frown deepened, and he looked very unhappy.
He was clearly unhappy with Yu Kangtai’s approach.
However, Yu Kangtai was Yu Niaoniao’s father after all. It was not appropriate for him to say anything bad about her father in front of her.
Seeing that Yu Xuanxian’s clothes were thin, he casually pulled off his cloak and shook it gently.
The wide cloak spread out like warm wings, gently wrapping around Yu Niaoniao.
The cloak still smelled of a man. It was very unfamiliar.
Yu Niaoniao’s body stiffened, but she quickly relaxed.
She looked up at the man in front of her and asked pitifully.
“We don’t have anywhere else to go now. Can we stay at LangJun Imperial Palace for the night?”
Xiao Juan looked down at her. “Do you know what people will say about an unmarried woman who spends the night at a man’s house?”
But Yu Niaoniao smiled. Her almond-shaped eyes curved slightly as if stars were flickering in them.
“It doesn’t matter. In any case, I’m already engaged to you. As long as you don’t despise me, what does it matter what others think of me?”
