Chapter 151



151 Don’t Believe in Rumors

When they entered the Justice Department, Yu Niaoniao grabbed a small handful of coconut candy from the paper bag and handed it to the two Eagle Guards guarding the door.

Her intention had been to share the food.

However, the two Eagle Guards misunderstood.

They thought that this was the wedding candy given out by Miss Yu and Prince Lang.

“Congratulations on your marriage. I wish you a long life together and may you have a child soon!”

Yu Niaoniao was dumbfounded. She had just given them a few ordinary coconut candies. What was with this sudden blessing?

The Eagle Guards asked again, “May I ask when Miss Yu and His Highness got married?”

They knew that with their status, they were definitely not qualified to attend Duke Lang’s wedding. However, Miss Yu had been giving them some delicious food from time to time these past few days. They remembered this favor in their hearts. They planned to secretly gather money to give Miss Yu a wedding gift as a token of their appreciation.

Yu Niaoniao was even more confused. “Married? When did we get married?”

It was the Eagle Guards’ turn to be dumbfounded.

So those weren’t wedding candies?

Xiao Juan coughed lightly. “The wedding is on the eighth of next month. Let’s go in first.”

Yu Niaoniao waved at the Eagle Guards guarding the door, before stepping over the high threshold into the Justice Department.

As usual, she gave everyone candy.

Many of them, like the guards, misunderstood that those were wedding candies and thought that she and Duke Lang were secretly married. They congratulated her and Duke Lang.

All kinds of blessings poured into her ears like water, making her dizzy. She almost thought that she had indeed married Duke Lang.

When class started, Yu Niaoniao had just walked into the morgue when she saw four students cupping their hands at her in unison.

“Congratulations on your marriage with His Highness. I wish the two of you a blissful marriage!”

Yu Niaoniao was already numb to the greetings by now.

She put her hand to her forehead. “We’re only engaged. We’re not married yet.”

Old Ge was very surprised. “But we heard that you’re already giving out wedding candies. Moreover, you and His Highness come to the Justice Department every day by car. You must live together. How can you not be married?”

The other three didn’t say anything, but from the looks on their faces, they were thinking the same thing as Old Ge.

Yu Niaoniao once again understood what it was like to jump into the Yellow River and not be able to clear her name. It was really impossible to explain!

She could only forcefully change the topic. “We’ll get married at the beginning of next month. We’ll let you know then. Let’s not talk about this. Let’s go to class.”

At noon, Yu Niaoniao went to the dining hall. Pan Dafu immediately brought his disciples to congratulate her.

Blessing’s words jumped out like cannonballs, not giving Yu Niaoniao any chance to explain.

She was forced to listen to a cartload of auspicious words.

When everyone had finished, she spoke with a wooden face.

“Don’t talk nonsense. We’re not married.”

Pan Dafu said, “But they all say that you and His Highness are married.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t believe in rumors.”

Seeing that she was serious and not pretending, Pan Dafu finally believed her.

“May I ask when your wedding date with Duke Lang is set?”

“Eighth of next month.”

Pan Dafu quickly calculated the days in his heart and realized that there were only a few days left. It seemed that he had to hurry up and prepare a congratulatory gift for his teacher.

As the Eagle Guards had captured a group of scholars yesterday, there were a few more memorials seeking to impeach Duke Lang during the morning court assembly today.

They accused Duke Lang and the Eagle Guards of arresting people indiscriminately and bullying scholars with their status. They were accused of treating the law as nothing and their actions were extremely vile. They begged the emperor to punish them severely!
