Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child

303 Excusable

The next morning, Yu Niaoniao refused to get up.

It was too cold outside. Since she had nothing to do today, she planned to stay in bed for a while longer.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.

Soon, Xiao Juan came to inform her that someone wanted to see her.

!!

Yu Niaoniao asked who it was.

Xiao Juan said, “They’re your siblings.”

Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “Why are they here?”

With difficulty, she unsealed the blanket and got up from the bed.

When Yu Sheng and Yu Pingping walked in, Yu Niaoniao was already dressed.

The siblings bowed to Xiao Juan and then looked at Yu Niaoniao in unison. They sized her up from head to toe. They saw that she was dressed well and looked energetic. She did not look like someone who had gone to jail.

Yu Pingping could not help but ask, “Didn’t they say that you were locked up in the Justice Department?”

Yu Niaoniao lied casually. “Yes, I want to see you guys so I just came out of prison. I still have to be locked up later.”

Yu Pingping believed her and could not help but frown.

“It must be very cold in prison this winter. How did you spend the night? What if you catch a cold?”

Yu Niaoniao asked with a cheeky smile, “Looks like you’re very worried about me?”

Yu Pingping’s expression froze.

She turned her head away unnaturally and replied stiffly.

“You’re thinking too much. I can’t be bothered to care about you.”

Xiao Juan could tell that they had a lot to say and casually found an excuse to leave.

“I still have things to do. Enjoy your chat.”

Yu Sheng and Yu Pingping watched him leave respectfully.

After he left, the siblings immediately relaxed.

Yu Sheng took out a bag and placed it on the table. He said, “Life in prison is not easy. These are the clothes and food we prepared for you.”

Yu Niaoniao did not expect them to be so considerate.

She opened the bag, picked up the clothes, and placed them against her body.

“Is it nice?”

Yu Pingping pursed her lips. “That’s all.”

Yu Sheng looked at his sister helplessly. “You chose this style yourself.”

Yu Pingping blushed and stomped her feet.

“Shut up!”

His brother was so annoying. Why did he have to give her away? If Yu Niaoniao found out, she would definitely laugh at her.

As expected, the next moment, she saw Yu Niaoniao laugh.

“Haha, so Yu Pingping personally chose these clothes. No wonder they’re similar to the clothes Yu Pingping is wearing.”

Yu Pingping’s thoughts were exposed, and her face turned even redder. She did have some thoughts when choosing the style of the clothes.

She specially chose two dresses of similar styles. One was for Yu Niaoniao, and the other was for her to wear. This way, they could wear matching sister outfits.

Yu Pingping flew into a rage out of humiliation and instantly exploded.

“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “How can I not like such good material and workmanship? I’ll try it now.”

She went behind the screen and quickly changed into her new clothes.

The milky-white collared upper coat was paired with a light yellow pleated skirt. There were yellow plum blossoms embroidered on the lapels and cuffs, and a circle of pale yellow millet pearls rolled around the edges. The skirt was embroidered with white cloud patterns, and there was also a pair of embroidered shoes inlaid with pearls.

The color was light, but it did not lose the charm of a young girl. She looked like the first bud of spring, full of vitality.

Yu Niaoniao spun in front of her siblings.

“How is it? Does it look good?”

Yu Sheng said without hesitation, “It looks good. This outfit suits you very well.”

Yu Pingping snorted. “This is because I have good taste.”

She was also wearing a light yellow pleated dress today, but it was matched with a light green short jacket. Yellow spring flowers were embroidered on the clothes, and there were small pearls at the stamens.

It was from the same series as Yu Niaoniao’s dress.

When the two of them stood together, it was obvious that they were sisters.

Yu Niaoniao sat down at the table. “I’ll take the clothes. Is there anything else?”

Yu Pingping muttered unhappily, “Why? We’ve just arrived. Do you want to chase us away?”

Yu Niaoniao explained.

“This is the Justice Department. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. It was Duke Lang’s special favor that they could come in today. But you can’t stay here for too long, lest others gossip.”

Yu Sheng hurriedly said, “We won’t stay long. We’re here mainly to see how you’re doing.”

Yu Niaoniao spread her hands. “As you can see, I’m fine now. Don’t worry.”

...

Yu Pingping said, “Fortunately, you’re fine. Otherwise, those people outside would gossip again.”

Hearing her words, Yu Niaoniao knew that there must be rumors about her outside again.

She asked curiously.

“What are they saying about me?”

Yu Pingping said, “They said that your relationship with Duke Lang is broken. Duke Lang even hit you and you killed someone in a fit of anger.”

Yu Niaoniao was dumbfounded.

“They’re so imaginative!”

Yu Sheng comforted her. “Don’t bother about those people. They have nothing better to do and like to talk nonsense. After the case is investigated and you regain your innocence, those rumors will collapse on their own.”

She paused and glanced carefully at Yu Niaoniao.

“Sis, there are no outsiders here. Tell us the truth. You didn’t kill anyone, right?”

Yu Niaoniao sighed, her expression pained.

...

“I did kill someone.”

Yu Sheng and Yu Pingping immediately panicked.

Yu Pingping stood up. “You really killed someone?!”

Yu Niaoniao explained, “The other party wanted to kill me. I fought back in self-defense.”

Hearing this, Yu Sheng and Yu Pingping felt better.

They were afraid that their sister was a depraved murderer. It would be understandable if she had only fought back in self-defense.

Yu Sheng said in a low voice, “Your case is very troublesome.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I know.”

Yu Pingping was quite optimistic.

“In any case, Duke Lang is your husband. With him protecting you, he will definitely be able to clear your name in the end.”

Yu Niaoniao thought of the Sky Wolf Guards who had ill intentions and sighed softly. “I hope so.”

If this case was handed over to the Justice Department to investigate, Yu Niaoniao believed that she would be able to clear her name quickly. However, now that the Sky Wolf Guards had interfered, the situation immediately became complicated. What would the final outcome be? She was not sure.

Now, they could only take things one step at a time.

After the chat, Yu Niaoniao sent Yu Sheng and Yu Pingping out.

Yu Sheng reminded, “If you need any help, just tell us. We’ll definitely do our best to help you.”

Yu Niaoniao nodded. “I know.”

Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Father was worried about you.”

Yu Niaoniao’s expression was indifferent. “Oh.”

Yu Sheng said, “I’m telling the truth. He knows that you’ve been locked up in the Justice Department. He hasn’t been eating or sleeping well for the past few days. He actually wants to come and see you, but you know his personality. He wants to save face. Even though he’s worried to death, he refuses to say anything.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Yes, I understand.”
