102 It’s all Your Fault!
Xiao Juan did not feel the need to sign a contract between the two of them.
But the taste of beef pie lingered in his mouth. He didn’t want to disappoint her over such a trivial matter. After a moment of silence, he finally chose to sign the deed.
Yu Niaoniao hurriedly signed her name. She held the deed in her hands and smiled.
“Thank you, Your Highness. From now on, you’re my leader. I’ll do whatever you want!”
Xiao Juan had only one request for her.
“Behave yourself in the future and don’t run around without permission.”
Tonight, she was luckier. Two simple-minded people came to trouble her.
What if it was a stronger bad person? What would a weak woman like her do? The consequences were unimaginable.
Yu Niaoniao raised her right hand and placed two fingers between her eyebrows. She straightened her back and replied especially loudly.
“Yes sir!”
It was late, so they went to their rooms to rest.
Yu Niaoniao slept soundly.
However, someone in the Yu Residence could not sleep at all.
Yu Kangtai tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Mrs. Jiang, who was beside him, could not sleep because of him.
Mrs. Jiang sat up. “Master, what’s wrong with you?”
Yu Kangtai let out a long sigh.
“I’m worried about her safety.”
It had been a day and two nights since Yu Niaoniao left the Yu Residence. He had sent his servants out to search, but there was no result.
Yu Kangtai frowned and muttered, “She’s a weak woman and penniless. She has no family in the Imperial Capital. Where can she go?”
Ever since he knew that he had wronged Yu Niaoniao, he had been filled with regret.
Originally, he planned to have a good talk with Yu Niaoniao after she returned.
However, Yu Niaoniao never returned, and the people she sent out returned empty-handed.
As time passed, Yu Kangtai became more and more anxious.
Although he despised Yu Niaoniao and felt that she was willful and unruly, she was still his biological daughter. He could not bear to let her stay outside and ignore her.
Mrs. Jiang was very impatient.
She did not care about Yu Niaoniao’s safety at all.
She even wished she could die out there and never come back.
Mrs. Jiang coaxed gently.
“Don’t worry. God helps good people. She’ll be fine. Go to sleep.”
Yu Kangtai said irritably, “How can I sleep when I don’t know if she’s dead or alive?!”
Mrs. Jiang said helplessly, “But you can’t just stay awake, right? Listen to my advice. Sleep first. We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”
Yu Kangtai cursed angrily.
“Sleep, sleep, sleep! All you know is sleep! So Niaoniao wasn’t born from your stomach. You don’t care about her life at all, do you?!”
Mrs. Jiang’s tears fell.
“So in your heart, I’m such a narrow-minded woman?”
If it were any other time, Yu Kangtai’s temper would have subsided when he saw his wife crying.
However, his eldest daughter was still out there, and her life was still unknown. He was furious. At this moment, when he saw Mrs. Jiang crying, he felt extremely frustrated.
“Did I say anything wrong? If you hadn’t spouted nonsense back then, would I have been able to determine that it was Niaoniao who injured Pingping? At the end of the day, it’s all your fault!”
Mrs. Jiang covered her face and cried even louder. “Yes, it’s all my fault. I deserve to die! Shall I die now?”
Yu Kangtai got off the bed and left with a straight face.
At dawn the next day, he personally went to the Imperial Capital to ask the officials there to help find her.
In the end, he was told by the officials of the Imperial Capital that Yu Niaoniao had been imprisoned in the Imperial Capital before being picked up by Duke Lang.
