Chapter 23

Meng Xizhou stopped in front of a cell door.

He opened the cell door with his key and turned to speak to Yu Niaoniao.

“You only have the time it takes to burn six incense sticks.”

Yu Qianqian calculated in her mind. One incense stick was five minutes. That should be enough.

She pushed open the door to the cell and saw the young man sitting against the wall.

Yu Sheng looked up and was stunned when he saw Yu Niaoniao.

“What are you doing here?”

Yu Niaoniao placed her hands behind her back and looked around. Her tone was light.

“I came to see you.”

This cell was no different from the others. It was dark and damp, and smelled of mold.

Yu Sheng frowned. “There’s nothing for you to see. You shouldn’t be here. Go back.”

Yu Nianiao gazed at him.

His hair and clothes were a little messy. Fortunately, there were no obvious injuries on his body. He didn’t look like he’d been tortured.

Yu Niaoniao suddenly said.

“I saw you three days ago in West City.”

Yu Sheng’s expression stiffened slightly before he regained his composure and said awkwardly,

“You’re mistaken.”

Yu Qianqian was very certain. “I can’t be wrong. Why were you in West City that day? From what I know of you, you wouldn’t appear in a noisy place like West City unless you had a special purpose. Could it be that someone asked you to meet them in West City?”

Yu Sheng raised his voice. “It has nothing to do with you!”

“Do you know what kind of situation you’re in?”

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Yu Niaoniao continued.

“Now that the Eagle Guard has found out that you’re involved in the anti-poetry case, if you can’t prove your innocence, only death awaits you.”

Yu Sheng’s face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.

As she observed his expression, she became more curious about the truth of the matter.

“What exactly are you hiding?”

No matter how she asked, Yu Sheng refused to say another word.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Meng Xizhou stood at the door and reminded her, “Miss Yu, you should leave.”

Yu Qianqian continued to look at Yu Sheng.

“You still won’t talk?”

Yu Sheng shut up.

There was a dead silence.

Just as Yu Sheng thought that the other party was about to leave angrily, he suddenly heard a chuckle.

“Excellent. You have succeeded in arousing my interest.”

Yu Sheng was speechless.

His face gradually flushed. She couldn’t tell if he was angry or anxious.

“Mind your own business!”

Yu Niaoniao curled her lips. “Are you teaching me how to do things?”

Yu Sheng looked at Meng Xizhou, who was standing at the door. With outsiders present, he did not want to quarrel with his sister, so he could only try his best to soften his tone.

“It’s my business. You don’t have to get involved. I think it’s better if you stay home and wait to get married.”

Yu Niaoniao snorted. “I don’t need your opinion. I have my own.”

Yu Sheng was speechless.

Was this sister broken in some way?

He was about to say something more when he was interrupted by Yu Niaoniao.

“Shut up. I won’t give you the chance to turn me down.”

With that, she walked out of the cell without looking back.

Yu Sheng was left alone in the cell.

Yu Niaoniao walked out of the Justice Department in high spirits.

When Dang Gui saw her coming out, she immediately walked up to her.

“Miss, are you okay? Did those Eagle Guards bully you?”

Yu Yingying waved her small hand and said very domineeringly, “They were polite to me. No one dares to bully me!”

The coachman beside her was relieved to see her out safely, but also deeply surprised.

He did not expect Missy to be able to enter and leave the Justice Division freely.

Why did she get this special treatment?

The coachman remembered the rumors, and his eyes automatically fell on Yu Niaoniao’s belly.

It seemed that the rumors were not groundless. Prince Lang was really going to be a father soon.
