章節 19: Butterfly Pastry
編輯: Atlas Studios
When she saw Duke Lang walk in, Yu Qianqian hurriedly stood up and bowed solemnly.
"Greetings to the County King… Burp!"
Xiao Juan looked at her expressionlessly. "Are the refreshments delicious?"
Yu Juan praised him sincerely.
"It's especially delicious! Especially the butterfly pastry. It's sweet and delicious… Hiccup, take a bite… Hiccup, it's so crispy, making one relish its taste… Hiccup, endlessly!"
Xiao Juan had never eaten butterfly pastry.
He had no interest in tasting delicacies. In fact, he had a vague aversion to eating.
The chefs in the residence had made him many delicacies, but none of them could enter his mouth.
Even if Yu Qianqian praised the butterfly pastry, Xiao Juan was not interested at all.
He sat down at the table and asked quietly.
"You specially came to the Lang Jun Imperial Palace eat butterfly pastry?"
Yu Niaoniao widened her big eyes and looked at him unblinkingly. She asked sincerely.
"If I say yes, would you allow me to come to the residence more often to taste the butterfly puff… burp!"
Xiao Juan looked at her silently.
This woman was indeed here to freeload!
Xiao Juan said, "You will marry into the Lang Jun Imperial Palace next month. At that time, you can eat as many butterfly pastries as you want."
Yu Niaoniao's eyes lit up.
"Oh, right!"
Then she was a little annoyed and muttered softly.
"Why wait until next month? I really want to marry into the Lang Jun Imperial Palace today… burp!"
Xiao Juan pretended not to hear her muttering and said calmly, "You haven't answered my question. Why are you here?"
Thinking of the purpose of her visit, Yu Niaoniao immediately wilted.
She let out a long sigh. "Hey! I'm here about Yu Sheng… Hiccup, he was captured by the Eagle Guards. Father asked me to plead with you. He hopes you can let Yu Sheng off, Hiccup!"
Xiao Juan looked her straight in the eye.
That gaze was extremely penetrating, as if it wanted to see through her heart.
"I will not accept pleas from anyone."
He expected disappointment.
But Yu Niaoniao just nodded, and then there was another loud burp!
Exasperated, he raised his hand and tapped the back of her neck twice.
Yu Niaoniao was stunned. She looked at him in confusion, not understanding what the man had done to her.
Xiao Juan had no intention of explaining. He said lightly, "You don't look surprised at my refusal."
"His Highness has always been strict with the law. How can a small woman like me expect to free him?"
After saying these words in one breath, Yu Niaoniao suddenly realized that she had stopped burping!
She recalled Duke Lang's actions just now and finally understood that the other party's two strikes were to help her resolve the problem of the hiccup.
Seeing that she was still reasonable and did not pester him, he was quite satisfied.
What he disliked most were those who liked to interfere with justice with favors.
"If there's nothing else, you should go back."
Xiao Juan gave the order to leave.
Yu Niaoniao had no intention of leaving. She rested her forearms on the tabletop and leaned her upper body forward slightly. She asked the question carefully, almost in a whisper.
"Your Highness, may I ask why Yu Sheng was captured?"
The girl's red lips opened and closed, and the fragrance of her lips entered Xiao's nose.
Shaw frowned slightly but did not move.
He said indifferently, "Recently, someone in the city has been secretly spreading anti-government poetry. After some investigation, my subordinates discovered that this matter is related to Yu Sheng."
Graceful Yu said, "Can you be more specific? For example, do you have any evidence that Yu Sheng is related to the anti-poetry case?"
Xiao tiredly asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Yu Niaoniao said, "I have to go back and report to my father. If I know more, it's easier for me to fabricate a reason to fool my father. Besides, I'm Yu Sheng's biological sister. I live in the same mansion as him. There are some things that you can't investigate. I can help you."
