Chapter 22

The carriage drew up in front of the main office.

The coachman’s knees went weak as he saw the Eagle Guards guarding the door.

He swallowed hard and asked quietly.

“Miss, are you really going in?”

Even if Yu Niaoniao was engaged to Prince Lang, she was still a weak woman. What if the Eagle Guards refused to let her in? What if they arrested her?

Yu Niaoniao glanced at the door of the Justice Department and puffed out her chest as she said confidently.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

With that, she walked towards the main door of the Justice Department.

The coachman watched her go, worried that she might never return.

Especially when she was stopped by the guard at the gate. The coachman’s heart was in his throat.

“The Eagle Guards aren’t going to attack Yu Niaoniao, are they?”

The next moment, he saw the Eagle Guards turn around and politely invite Yu Qianqian into the Justice Department.

What he had worried about did not happen. The coachman froze.

She, she actually went in!

There were many Eagle Guards in the Justice Department. When they heard that the future Princess Consort of Lang Jun had arrived, they were all very curious and ran out to take a look.

A young girl stood gracefully in the courtyard.

She was wearing a yellow dress that reached her chest. Her eyes were bright and clear, and the skin on her small oval face was as fair as jade. Her black hair was combed into a simple bun, with two small and exquisite jade beads in it.

She was like the first ray of the morning sun, making one feel warm and comfortable.

The Eagle Guards were stunned.

They had never expected the woman who was rumored to be engaged to Duke Lang and even pregnant with his child to be so sweet and moving.

They didn’t know if the rumors were wrong, or if you couldn’t judge a book by its cover.

Meng Xizhou rushed out. “Miss Yu, I was busy just now and didn’t have time to pick you up. Please forgive me for not taking good care of you.”

Yu Niaoniao smiled graciously.

“Don’t worry about it.”

Meng Xizhou turned to the side and made an inviting gesture.

“The cells are this way. Please follow me.”

The Eagle Guards only gathered together to gossip after Yu Niaoniao had walked some distance away.

“Isn’t Miss Yu already pregnant? But she doesn’t look like she’s pregnant.”

“I’m not so sure about that. Maybe the pregnancy is too recent to tell.”

“Let’s put the matter of the child aside for now. Miss Yu is Yu Sheng’s sister. If Yu Sheng’s crime is sentenced, he will definitely die. At that time, won’t Miss Yu hate Duke Lang to death?”

At this point, everyone suddenly fell silent.

One was her own brother. The other was the man she loved.

Yu Niaoniao would be caught in the middle and would struggle bitterly. Kinship and love would torture her young and fragile heart at the same time…

Tsk tsk, with this plot, they could easily imagine 100,000 words of painful narrative.

The cells of the Justice Department were underground and very dim and damp.

Meng Xizhou led the way with his lantern.

They walked through the cells.

There were people locked in almost every cell, and they were all bruised and bloody.

The air reeked of blood and decay.

It was almost suffocating.

From time to time, Meng Xizhou would turn around to look at Yu Niaoniao , afraid that she would be frightened.

Yu Niaoniao did feel a little uncomfortable.

Only now did she understand why Duke Lang had told her not to regret it.

Anyone with a normal mentality would definitely feel terrible when they came to such a place for the first time.
