Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child Chapter 57

57 Bad Intentions

Yu Niaoniao teased, “Are you going to the Justice Departnt to verify it?”

Yu Sheng ignored the question.

“There’s actually no need for you to get involved in this ss.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “It’s not up to you to decide if there’s a need. It’s up to .”

Her domineering speech imdiately evoked Yu Sheng’s mories, causing him to stand on the spot awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

Yu Niaoniao ignored him and continued working.

With her and Dang Gui working together, a round earthen oven finally took shape.

What was needed next was high temperature and a fixed model.

Yu Qianqian stood up and was about to wash her hands when she realized that Yu Sheng was still standing there in a daze.

“Why are you still here?”

Yu Sheng answered honestly, “I haven’t thanked you yet.”

Although he did not want her to get involved in the anti-governnt poetry case, it was a fact that she had saved him. He couldn’t be ungrateful.

Yu Niaoniao thought of sothing and smiled at him.

“I don’t like verbal thanks. If you really want to thank , express it with action.”

Yu Sheng asked cautiously, “What can I do for you?”

He braced himself for the worst.

Her life-saving grace toward him was greater than the sky. Even if the other party asked him to go through hell and high water, he had to agree.

Yu Niaoniao said, “Go get so firewood.”

Yu Sheng was stunned.

He thought he had misheard.

“Get what?”

“Firewood.” Yu Niaoniao thought that the other party did not know what wood was and introduced it in detail. “Firewood refers to dried branches and leaves that can be used to make fire.”

Yu Sheng’s face turned red.

Of course, he knew what firewood was. He just did not expect that the gratitude Yu Niaoniao wanted was just so firewood.

Seeing that he was standing still, Yu Niaoniao said, “If you don’t want to, I can go myself...”

Yu Sheng hurriedly said, “I’ll go! I’ll go now!”

He hurriedly ran out of the Green Jade Residence.

Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui washed their hands.

The two of them planned to rest for a while. Before they could sit down, soone else entered the Green Jade Residence.

This ti, it was Mrs. Jiang and Second Master Jiang. Their expressions were not too good.

Behind them were several maidservants.

Seeing their attitude, she knew that they were up to no good. Dang Gui was nervous and hurriedly picked up the rolling pin on the chopping board, ready to fight at any ti.

Yu Niaoniao asked calmly.

“Why are Mother and Second Uncle here?”

After hearing the servant girl’s report, Mrs. Jiang found out that Yu Niaoniao would rather play with mud in the courtyard than co to see her. She was furious.

In addition, Second Master Jiang was fanning the flas at the side. She imdiately brought her n to the Green Jade Residence.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the earthen oven in the courtyard and the pile of unused mud beside it.

It seed that the maidservant was not lying. Yu Niaoniao was really playing with mud.

Mrs. Jiang cursed inwardly. As expected of a country bumpkin. She only knew how to do these unpresentable things!

She asked in a low voice.

“I sent soone over to invite you. Why didn’t you go? Are you deliberately not giving face?”

Yu Niaoniao said in surprise, “How can that be? I’m indeed busy and can’t leave for the ti being.”

Mrs. Jiang pointed at the unfinished clay oven and frowned.

“Are you busy doing this? Am I less important to you than a pile of broken mud?”

Yu Niaoniao tried to explain. “This isn’t broken mud. This is a clay oven I made. It can be used for...”

Mrs. Jiang interrupted her.

“I don’t want to know what it does! I ca to you especially because it’s important that I ask your help.”
