Chapter 91



91 Promise

The afternoon passed quickly.

Yu Niaoniao first picked out the books in question and wrote a list. Then, she wrote two contracts and placed them on the table of Prince Lang. She pressed them with a paperweight to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

When she was done, she walked out the door and stretched.

At this moment, the sun was about to set and it was time for the Justice Department to get off work.

Yu Niaoniao was afraid that she would be asked to work overtime. Without waiting for Duke Lang to return, she immediately slipped away.

Not long after she left the Justice Department, Xiao Juan returned.

As soon as he entered the Mirror House, an Eagle Guard walked out of the shadows.

The Eagle Guard cupped his fists. “Greetings, Your Highness.”

Xiao Juan asked, “Did she do anything after I left?”

There were many important dossiers hidden in the Justice Department. In the past, many people had tried their best to sneak in just to steal secrets.

Xiao Juan had always been cautious. Even the people around him did not dare to be completely at ease.

Just now, he had deliberately left in front of Yu Niaoniao to test her and see if she would reveal her true motives after he left.

However, when he heard the Eagle Guard’s description, he fell silent.

Why did he feel like his future wife’s brain was not working well just thinking about that scene?

The Eagle Guard seemed to have the same feeling, so after reporting, he lowered his head deeply and did not dare to say another word.

At this moment, Yu Niaoniao had just alighted from the carriage.

She did not return to the Langjun Imperial Palace directly. Instead, she arrived at the West Pier.

This was the largest pier in the entire Jade Capital. There were countless merchant ships coming and going every day. The huge human traffic bred business opportunities. Every night, this place would be brightly lit. The streets were filled with vendors, and there were all kinds of good food and fun things.

Yu Qianqian looked at the lively scene in front of her and thought happily that if Prince Lang did not bring her out for supper, she would eat alone.

In life, only good food could not be let down!

The coachman advised earnestly, “Miss Yu, there are many outsiders at the West Pier of this city. It’s very unsafe for people of all walks of life. It’s best if you don’t run around alone.”

Yu Niaoniao waved her hand and said indifferently.

“It’s fine. I’ll be back soon. Wait for me here.”

With that, she plunged into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The butler of Prince Min’s Mansion, who was hiding in the dark, immediately said to the two men behind him.

“Niu Da, Niu Er, do you see that? That girl in the blue dress is the person you’re going to deal with this time. Remember, don’t make too much noise. Don’t kill her. After you’re done, leave the Jade Capital immediately and never come back.”

With that, the butler handed over a heavy money bag filled with gold ingots.

Niu Da took the money bag and plastered a smile on his face.

“Don’t worry, we will definitely help you do a good job!”

Yu Niaoniao took the freshly cooked glutinous rice balls from the stall owner and was about to eat them when two unfamiliar men suddenly came over.

They were Niu Da and Niu Er.

The two brothers were tall and burly, both smiling maliciously.

“Young lady, why are you here alone? Do you want us to treat you to something delicious?”

Yu Qianqian did not expect such a good thing to happen and immediately said to them.

“Five copper coins for a bowl of glutinous rice balls. Thank you for treating me.”

With that, she turned and left.

Niu Da and Niu Er wanted to chase after her, but the stall owner stopped them.

“You haven’t paid yet!”

The stall owner had heard with his own ears that these two people wanted to treat that young lady to a meal. As men, they had to keep their word!
