Chapter 51



51 Why Are You Blushing?

Seeing that the mutton soup in Xiao Juan’s bowl was almost empty, Yu Niaoniao said with a smile.

“I heard that mutton soup goes better with rice. Do you want to try it, Your Highness?”

Seeing that the man did not refuse, she reached out for the bowl in front of him and added some rice and soup. Finally, she did not forget to put two pieces of soft and fragrant mutton.

Xiao Juan tried a bite.

The rice absorbed the soup and became even more plump and soft. It was indeed delicious.

He ate slowly, taking a long time to chew each bite.

After Yu Niaoniao finished two bowls of rice, Xiao Juan finally finished the rice in his bowl.

Granny Xiuyan was touched by this scene.

Usually, Duke Lang would at most eat a bowl of white rice every meal. Sometimes, he would not even eat rice and only drink some soup.

Today, he actually finished a bowl of rice and two bowls of soup.

This was a historic breakthrough!

Granny Xiu Yan wished she could set off two firecrackers to celebrate.

She looked at Yu Niaoniao expectantly.

Yu Niaoniao understood and immediately told her the formula for the mutton soup.

The method of cooking this mutton soup was actually very simple. It just took a little more time.

Granny Xiu Yan thanked her again.

The sound of the rain faded.

Yu Niaoniao looked out the window. The rain had stopped and she should go back.

Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly said, “Your Highness, should you send Miss Yu back?”

How could Yu Qianqian dare to let Duke Lang send her off personally? She quickly waved her hand in refusal.

“Your Highness is busy. I’ll just ride Gray back.”

Granny Xiu Yan asked in confusion, “Gray?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “It’s my donkey. I rode it to Langjun Imperial Palace today.”

Granny Xiuyan laughed happily. “The name Gray is really cute.”

Xiao Juan’s expression was complicated. If Granny knew that Yu Niaoniao wanted to marry into the Langjun Imperial Palace on a donkey, would she still be able to smile?

“Let’s go. I’ll send you back.”

With that, he strode out. He did not give her a chance to refuse.

Yu Niaoniao had no choice but to follow obediently.

Granny Xiu Yan stood under the porch and watched them leave. She smiled until her eyes crinkled in relief.

Seeing how loving they were, the royal residence would probably be able to welcome more members soon.

… .

In the carriage, Xiao Juan was as silent as ever.

However, Yu Niaoniao could not stand the silence for too long. She started to find something to talk about.

“Jiang Ze comes from a scholarly family and has a good family background. He should be living a good life. Why would he go against the Imperial Court and the emperor?”

She waited a moment for an answer, but it did not come. She mustered her courage and stretched out her claws, quietly poking the man’s arm.

She could feel the tight muscles through the cloth. They were even harder than she had expected.

Xiao Juan looked at her expressionlessly.

“You like to get physical with people?”

Yu Niaoniao denied it. “No!”

Xiao Juan began to dig up the past. “The first time I saw you in prison, you hugged my thigh and even burrowed into my arms…”

Suddenly being exposed, Yu Niaoniao’s face immediately flushed red.

She quickly interrupted him.

“I didn’t crawl into your arms! I fainted and accidentally bumped into you. I didn’t mean to take advantage of you!”

Xiao Juan asked, “Why are you blushing?”

Yu Niaoniao covered her face and tried to argue. “I’m blushing from your nonsense.”

Xiao Juan said, “Oh.”

Yu Niaoniao became even angrier. “Don’t you believe me?”

Xiao Juan did not answer.

“Don’t touch men casually in the future.”
