Chapter 17

As soon as Yu Kangtai left, Dang Gui immediately came over and looked at her mistress worriedly.

“Are you really going to plead with Duke Lang? But I heard that he’s extremely ruthless. Even if the royal family falls into his hands, they won’t be able to escape unscathed.”

Compared to those royal relatives, the Yu family was nothing.

However, she did not care about this at all.

She urged, “Let’s put aside the matter of pleading for mercy. Let’s quickly change our clothes and go out. If we’re late, the blacksmith’s shop will have to close!”

Dang Gui was stunned.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Miss was still worried about her kitchen knife and iron pot!

Yu Niaoniao rubbed her hands and said eagerly, “With the iron pot, we can eat fragrant stir-fry.”

When Dang Gui heard that there was good food, she immediately forgot her worries and rubbed her hands with Miss.

“Then let’s get moving. Hehehe.”

This time, the master and servant left the Yu Residence openly. There was no need to be as sneaky as before.

It was rare for Yu Kangtai to be so considerate. He even took the initiative to ask if they wanted to arrange a carriage.

With the principle of not taking advantage of a bastard, Yu Qianqian readily agreed.

After getting into the carriage, she said to the coachman.

“To the Zhang family smithy in West City.”

The coachman was puzzled. “Shouldn’t we go to the county palace?”

Yu Qianqian was determined. “To the smithy first.”

Although the coachman was puzzled, he did as he was told and drove the carriage straight to the Western City.

The carriage pulled up in front of the smithy.

Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui jumped off the carriage and dashed into the shop.

The blacksmith had already prepared the cleaver and the iron pot.

The kitchen knife and iron pot were expensive. Fortunately, there was a reason why they were expensive. Be it the workmanship or the materials used, they were very powerful.

Yu Niaoniao paid the rest readily.

She took the knife and Dang Gui carried the pot, and they left the smithy happily.

The coachman guarding the door was startled to see the young lady holding a shiny kitchen knife.

He took a quick step back and asked nervously.

“M-Miss, what are you doing with a knife?”

Yu Qianqian said with a smile as she stroked her beloved kitchen knife.

“Let’s go to the County Palace.”

The coachman was terrified. “Don’t tell me you’re going to the county palace to rob someone?”

Yu Qianqian glared at him reproachfully. “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m a good citizen. I’ve never done any robbery. I’m going to look for Duke Lang and beg him for help.”

The coachman looked again at the knife in her hand and swallowed hard. ‘You don’t look like you’re going to beg for help.’

It was more like she was going to kill someone.

However, he did not dare to say anything or ask anything.

The carriage ran for half a round in the city before finally stopping at the entrance of the county palace.

Yu Qianqian said to Dang Gui.

“Stay in the carriage. I’ll be right back.”

Dang Gui was worried. “Can you do it alone? Why don’t I go with you?”

Yu Niaoniao smiled at her. “Don’t worry. A busy person like Duke Lang definitely won’t have the time to bother with me. I probably can’t even enter the Duke’s Palace. I should be back soon.”

Dang Gui was stunned. “Since you know, why did you agree to ask Duke Lang?”

“I had no choice.”

Yu Niaoniao spread out her small hands, looking very helpless.

“Well, Father had forbidden me to go out.”

If she wanted to go out to the blacksmith’s shop to pick up the goods, she could only fool Yu Kangtai into agreeing to let her out.

Now that she had obtained the kitchen knife and iron pot as she wished, her goal had been achieved. Next was to go through the motions.
