Yu Niaoniao asked, “What will you do if I really pierce the sky? Will you sever your father-daughter relationship with me?”
Yu Kangtai was furious. “You bastard, what did you say? Try saying that again!” Yu Niaoniao seemed to be discussing what to eat tonight. She still had a normal tone.
“That’s my personality since I grew up. It’s impossible to change it. Besides, I didn’t think I had done anything wrong. There is no need to change.”
“If you can’t accept it, you can sever ties with me. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways. Whether I live or die has nothing to do with you.”
Yu Kangtai never expected her to say such a thing.
It was as if a basin of cold water was being poured over his head, and his anger was extinguished. He was shocked at the ridiculousness of what he heard.
“Do you know what you’re talking about?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t you think I’m embarrassing? As long as you cut ties with me, no matter what embarrassing things I do in the future, I won’t implicate you.”
Yu Kangtai looked at her blankly.
She looked very calm and her words were clear. She did not seem to be spouting nonsense in a fit of pique.
She really wanted to cut ties with her father.
“You’re unfilial. I can sue you in the Imperial Capital.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Go ahead and sue. I’m willing to bear the consequences.”
Yu Kangtai was speechless.
How could he really go to the Imperial Capital to sue Yu Niaoniao?
That would be equivalent to causing a storm in the city. Everyone would know that he had raised an unfilial daughter. How could he stay in the court in the future?!
He just wanted to scare Yu Niaoniao.
But she was not afraid at all.
Yu Kangtai said, “Aren’t you afraid of damaging Duke Lang’s reputation?”
Yu Niaoniao asked, “Does Duke Lang still have a reputation?”
Yu Kangtai was speechless.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again.
“If you cut ties with me, it means that you won’t have your family to rely on in the future. Even if you suffer in the Langjun Imperial Palace, no one will help you.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I’ve never expected you to help me.”
Her casual words stabbed Yu Kangtai hard.
Yu Niaoniao looked indifferent. “It doesn’t matter to me if I have you as a father.”
Yu Kangtai’s expression darkened. If he was only angry before, he was really hurt now.
He originally thought that as Yu Niaoniao’s biological father, he had some weight in her heart, but the truth slapped him hard in the face.
She didn’t care about him as a father at all.
No matter what he said or did, she would not take it to heart. This kind of practical coldness was the most hurtful.
Yu Kangtai said nothing else. He left the Langjun Imperial Palace in a daze.
Yu Niaoniao returned to the study.
She sat behind the desk and stared at the drawing paper in front of her for a
long time.
After Madam Xie and Feng Lianghan passed away, Yu Niaoniao was very depressed. Even if she pulled herself together later, she would inevitably feel lonely in the dead of night.
When she found out that her biological father had sent someone to pick her up from the Imperial Capital, she was actually looking forward to it.
Feng Lianghan was only her stepfather. If he could treat her so well, then as her biological father, Yu Kangtai would definitely treat her better.
The result disappointed her.
From the moment she returned to the Imperial Capital until now, not only did Yu Kangtai’s actions not make her feel the warmth of her family, but they also wiped away her expectations for her biological father.
Yu Niaoniao sighed.
No wonder Madam Xie left Yu Kangtai.
This kind of man was indeed not worth entrusting one’s life to.
With such a melancholic mood, Yu Niaoniao picked up her paintbrush again and continued with her work on The Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation.
Yu Kangtai’s arrival reminded her that the male lead, the little mute, could not always be with the domineering princess. He had to have his own background plot to make the character more three-dimensional.
In order to compound the theme of torture, the little mute’s background would definitely not be good.
She would arrange a scumbag mother for him first, followed by a scumbag father. In addition, she would have a few antagonistic brothers and sisters.
She drew until night and continued after dinner.
Xiao Juan asked her to sleep first and draw it tomorrow morning.
Yu Niaoniao said, “Go to sleep first. I’ll draw two more. I’ll sleep later.”
Xiao Juan washed up and went to bed. He waited for a long time but did not see Yu Niaoniao appear.
He had no choice but to lift the blanket and get out of bed. He went to the study and saw that she was still drawing furiously.
The lamp oil was almost gone. She didn’t even notice.
Xiao Juan could not take it anymore. He took the paintbrush from her hand and picked her up.
“Go to sleep!”
Yu Niaoniao fluttered twice and realized that she could not resist. In the end, she could only obediently go to bed.
She would continue painting the next day when she woke up.
During this period, Xiao Juan looked at her draft.
The plot he had seen last time had already dealt him a considerable blow. He did not expect the subsequent plot to shatter his worldview.
Xiao Juan could not help but ask, “How could you think of such a twisted plot?”
Yu Niaoniao was still painting and replied without looking up.
“Of course, it’s based on my extraordinary understanding of life.”
Xiao Juan asked solemnly, “What did life do to you?” Yu Niaoniao said, “Indescribable.”
Xiao Juan did not understand. “What’s indescribable?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “What life did to me is indescribable.”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
Under Yu Niaoniao’s hard work, she finished the first book, The Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation, in only three days.
She took the fresh draft to the Directorate to get it reviewed.
Chancellor Luo flipped through the draft page by page. The more he read, the more his expression twisted.
In the end, he felt sick.
Luo Mingxue threw the draft on the table and said angrily, “What the hell are you drawing?”
Yu Niaoniao asked, “Is there a problem?”
Chancellor Luo said, “There’s something wrong with your story! A very big problem! It’s common for men to be superior to women, but your book is inverted that. Not only that, but you even had a man pregnant. It’s simply a completely different story. It’s ridiculous! ”
Yu Niaoniao pointed to the first page of the draft.
“Don’t you see? It says here that this story is pure fiction. What is fiction? It means that everything in the book is fake. Since it’s fake, why do you care how I write it?’
“Anyway, it’s not about politics and is legal!”
Chancellor Luo was so angry that his beard stood on end.
“Y-you’re talking nonsense!”
Yu Niaoniao urged, “Don’t waste time. Hurry up and stamp it.” Chancellor Luo said, “I’ll never pass such an embarrassing book!”
Yu Niaoniao asked, “Are you really not going to pass the book?” Chancellor Luo’s attitude was extremely firm.
He thought Yu Niaoniao would be angry, but she smiled.
Yu Niaoniao put away the sketch. “Alright, since you’re unwilling, there’s nothing I can do.”
With that, she left briskly.
Chancellor Luo was puzzled by her reaction, but he did not think too much about it and thought that this matter was over.
Unexpectedly, the next day, a large group of people blocked the entrance of the
Directorate and clamored to see Chancellor Luo..
