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

41 Help

The butler was stunned again.

It had to be known that Duke Lang was famous for being unreasonable. In addition, he was in charge of the Eagle Guards and was highly regarded by the emperor. He had always only had others rushing to give him gifts. He had never seen him take the initiative to give gifts to others.

But Yu Niaoniao had repeatedly become that exception.

First, Duke Lang gave her the jade pendant, and now he had given her so many ingredients.

This was ample proof of how extraordinary she was to him.

The butler recalled what had happened in the residence over the past few days and had no choice but to refresh his understanding of Yu Niaoniao.

This Missy was really not a simple person.

She had only been in the Jade Capital for less than two months from Bashu, but she had already obtained the heart of Duke Lang. She had even made Master have no choice but to give in to her. Even the usually shrewd Mrs. Jiang had suffered a loss in her hands.

Such meticulous scheming was definitely not something ordinary people could do.

The butler didn’t dare think too deeply about it.

He bent forward, his posture lowering a little more.

“Miss, these ingredients are very heavy. How can I trouble you?”

With that, he called over three strong servants to help move the three baskets of ingredients to the Green Jade Residence.

Not only did Yu Niaoniao go out today, but even Yu Pingping went out.

She had said that she wanted to think of a way to save her brother, not just say it. She had specially set up a banquet in the restaurant and asked a few of her good friends out. Under the pretext of treating them to a meal, she asked her best friends to think of a way to save her brother.

She was from an official family, so the girls she befriended were naturally daughters of officials.

Yu Pingping had already planned it out.

Her close friends all had elders in their families who were officials. If they could get their elders to help Yu Sheng, they might be able to convince the emperor let Yu Sheng off.

Unfortunately, ideals were voluptuous, and reality was bone.

There were many people in this world who only paid lip service. Few people were willing to help.

As soon as they heard that they were going to save someone from the Eagle Guards, the attitudes of those best friends immediately faded.

However, because of their sisterly relationship, they did not refuse directly. Instead, they said tactfully.

“We’re just women. We don’t know anything about court matters. I’m afraid we won’t be of much help.”

Yu Pingping begged, “As long as you help me pass the message, we should be able to negotiate things.”

His best friends nodded reluctantly, indicating that they would find a chance to talk to their elders when they returned.

They said they would look for an opportunity to talk.

Whether they could find an opportunity was another matter.

Yu Pingping did not hear the avoidance in their words and immediately beamed with joy. She felt she had not befriended those best friends in vain and quickly got someone to add a few more good dishes.

At sunset, Yu Kangtai walked home tiredly.

He had begged everywhere today, but no one was willing to help.

Everyone in the dynasty knew how ferocious the Eagle Guards were.

No one wanted to get involved in this mess.

Mrs. Jiang ran out to welcome him expectantly, but when she saw Yu Kangtai’s tired expression, the last hope in her heart was extinguished.

Yu Kangtai said, “Madam, I really tried.”

Mrs. Jiang’s face quickly turned pale, and despair surged in her heart.

Actually, she had also asked for help.

However, as soon as those close friends and family heard that this matter was related to the Eagle Guards, they hid far away. Even Mrs. Jiang’s family expressed that they were helpless.

Mrs. Jiang covered her face and cried. Yu Kangtai held her up before she lost her balance and fell.

At this moment, Yu Pingping returned. She was in a good mood and walked briskly.

“I went to ask my good sisters for help today. They all expressed their willingness to help. With the help of their elders, my brother will definitely be released soon.”

Yu Kangtai and Mrs. Jiang were skeptical.

It was not so easy to save people from the Eagle Guards.

However, the next moment, they saw the butler run in and shout excitedly.

“Young Master is back!”
