186 I Like it so Much
Yu Kangtai agreed with Madam Jiang’s words. As the saying went, the deeper one’s love was, the longer they should plan.
The more he liked someone, the more he had to plan for her long-term.
In the end, Duke Lang was still too young.
Xiao Juan took in the couple’s performance. How could he not see what they were thinking?
Madam Jiang looked kind on the outside but was evil on the inside. On the surface, she pretended to be good, but she was actually stirring up trouble.
Yu Kangtai was rotten and inflexible, but he was still self-righteous. He put on the airs of a father all day long, but he had never really believed in Niaoniao. He was always nagging about all the things that cannot be done.
From this, it could be seen how Yu Niaoniao had lived in the Yu Residence previously.
If Yu Niaoniao’s personality had been any weaker, she would have probably lost herself today and completely become a puppet in their hands.
When Xiao Juan thought of this, he felt even more disgusted with this couple. Even the expression on his face became colder.
He asked coldly, “What does it have to do with me what outsiders think?”
Madam Jiang choked.
He was too arrogant when he spoke to her, but she could not refute him.
Yu Kangtai hurriedly helped his wife find a way out.
“You can’t say that. You have a noble status, Your Highness, so you naturally don’t have to care about others’ opinions. However, Niaoniao is a woman after all…”
Xiao Juan interrupted him.
“I’m a duke, so Niaoniao’s the Princess Consort. Her status is as noble as mine. If anyone feels that she’s bad, they could tell me. I don’t mind teaching them how to behave.”
When he said this, his gaze rested on Madam Jiang, who instantly felt guilty.
Not to mention her, even Yu Kangtai was very afraid.
When Duke Lang said to teach a person a lesson, did he mean to kill him so that he could quickly reincarnate and become a new person in his next life?
This time, the couple was so frightened that they stopped talking.
Yu Niaoniao stole a glance at the man beside her and could not help but smile.
Xiao Juan noticed her gaze and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Niaoniao smiled sweetly at him.
“Your Highness, you’re really impressive today. I like it so much.”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
Aye, that’s distressing. She’s wheedling again.
Seeing that the situation was a little awkward, Yu Pingping wanted to ease the atmosphere and took the initiative to start a topic.
“It’s a beautiful day. The sun is shining and there are many flowers blooming in the garden. Why don’t we go for a walk and admire the flowers?”
But Yu Niaoniao remembered something else.
“I’d rather visit Gray than admire the flowers. I was in such a hurry when we got married that I forgot about it.”
Hearing her mention Gray, the expressions of everyone in the Yu Residence immediately became indescribable.
Only Xiao Juan remained calm.
He only knew that Yu Niaoniao raised a donkey, but he did not know that she had named it Gray.
Yu Pingping gave an awkward but polite smile.
“Sister, don’t worry. Gray is being taken care of. Let’s go admire the flowers for now.”
It was obvious that she really did not want to talk about the donkey at this time.
However, Yu Yingying refused to follow her script.
“You guys go look at the flowers. I’ll check on Gray.”
Seeing that she was really leaving, Yu Pingping quickly stood up. “If you leave, what will happen to His Highness?”
Duke Lang was infamous and terrifying. It was fine if Yu Niaoniao was here. At least there was someone to help buffer the murderous aura on Duke Lang.
However, if Yu Niaoniao left, they would have to face Duke Lang directly. Just thinking about that scene made their scalps tingle.
Yu Niaoniao clearly did not understand what the other party meant and asked blankly.
“Do you mean for me to take His Highness down to see Gray?”
Yu Pingping was shocked and hurriedly denied it.
“I didn’t mean that. Don’t talk nonsense!”
How could someone like Duke Lang deign himself to see a donkey in the horse shed?
However, in the next moment, she heard Duke Lang ask.
“Is Gray your pet?”
Yu Niaoniao nodded. “That’s right.”
Duke Lang stood up. “Since it’s your pet, I’ll go take a look.”
This time, it was not only Yu Pingping who was panicking.
Yu Kangtai dissuaded hesitantly.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
Duke Lang asked coldly, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Kangtai immediately dared not speak.
Yu Niaoniao held Duke Lang’s hand and said happily.
“Let’s hurry.”
When they went out, the others looked at each other.
Yu Pingping asked carefully.
“What are we going to do?”
Madam Jiang was in a bad mood, and her tone was not good.
“If you ask me, I should have killed that donkey long ago. It would have saved Yu Niaoniao from always thinking about that donkey.”
Yu Sheng frowned. “That donkey was raised by my sister. We can’t kill it.”
Yu Pingping nodded. “That’s right. What did the little donkey do wrong? Why did you kill it?”
Seeing that her children were siding with outsiders, Madam Jiang was even angrier.
“Have you forgotten what you promised me? Whatever I tell you to do, you’ll do it.”
Yu Pingping argued quietly.
“That depends on the situation.”
Yu Sheng also said, “If you’re right, we’ll naturally do as you say, but if you’re wrong, we can’t follow blindly.”
Madam Jiang pointed at them. “Do you think I’m wrong?”
Yu Sheng and Yu Pingping fell silent.
A child does not speak of his mother.
They could not say anything bad about their mother, but they were unwilling to go against their conscience.
They could only answer with silence.
Madam Jiang was greatly injured and her eyes turned red.
“I’m doing this for the sake of this family. Otherwise, why would I make things difficult for a donkey? Forget it, do whatever you want. I’m tired. I’ll go back to my room to rest.”
With that, she flicked her handkerchief and turned to walk out.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the room became even more oppressive.
Seeing that his children were unhappy, Yu Kangtai comforted them.
“Your mother hasn’t been in a good mood recently. Give in to her more. She’ll be fine after a while.”
Yu Sheng pursed his lower lip.
As children, it was only right for them to respect their parents, but their parents should also be reasonable.
Her mother had become more and more paranoid recently. It was impossible to reason with her. She felt that the entire world was against her and that she could not communicate them properly.
Yu Pingping had similar thoughts.
Yu Kangtai sighed. “Forget it, let’s not talk about these troublesome matters. Sheng’er and I will accompany Duke Lang to the study to chat later. I’ll leave Niaoniao to Pingping.”
Logically speaking, the mistress of the household should be in charge of entertaining the women. However, it was obvious that Madam Jiang was not in the mood to entertain Yu Niaoniao.
Therefore, this matter could only be replaced by Yu Pingping.
Yu Sheng and Yu Pingping nodded in agreement.
