They were out of the city gates and on the official road when they saw a familiar figure.

It was Yu Niaoniao, who had been missing for an entire night!

“Miss!”

Dang Gui cried tears of joy and quickly pounced on Yu Niaoniao.

When she hugged Yu Niaoniao, she realized that Yu Niaoniao was drenched.

“Why are you all wet, miss?”

Yu Niaoniao was extremely cold now. Her entire body was trembling, and her face was pale. She even stammered.

“It’s a long story. Let’s go back.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s go back first!”

Yu Sheng took off his coat and draped it over Yu Niaoniao.

Dang Gui helped her into the carriage before Yu Sheng got into it.

The coachman flicked the reins and steered the carriage back to the Imperial Capital.

Dang Gui took out everything that could keep her warm in the carriage and wrapped Yu Niaoniao tightly.

Yu Niaoniao was still trembling from the cold.

Yu Sheng felt that something was wrong. He reached out to touch her forehead and his expression changed.

“You’re heating up!”

Yu Niaoniao cowered. “I’m fine. I just caught a cold. I should be fine after drinking a bowl of ginger soup.”

Yu Sheng disagreed. “Fever is not a small matter. If it’s serious, it can kill. I’ll bring you to the medical center for treatment now.”

“I can’t go to the medical center. It’s almost time to get married. I have to rush back to get married.”

Yu Sheng frowned. “Why are you still thinking about marriage at a time like this?”

Yu Niaoniao sighed.

“I don’t want this to happen either, but I have no choice. If I don’t rush back to get married, the entire city will think that I ran away from the marriage tomorrow. How will Duke Lang live in the future?

Moreover, the marriage between Duke Lang and I is bestowed by the emperor. If I escape, it will be equivalent to defying the decree and I will lose my head.”

She analyzed it logically. Yu Sheng couldn’t find anything to refute. In the end, he could only shut his mouth silently.

… .

The bridal escort team passed through half of the Imperial Capital and finally stopped in front of the Yu Residence.

At this moment, many onlookers had already gathered at the door.

The entire street was jammed.

However, unexpectedly, the door of the Yu Residence was closed.

Sixth Prince Shen Rui looked out of the car window and frowned when he saw that there was no one in front of the Yu Residence.

“Isn’t today the wedding day of the Yu family’s eldest daughter? Why isn’t anyone coming out to welcome the bridal party? And what’s going on with this door? Why is it still closed?”

Xiao Juan also felt that something was wrong.

He glanced at Meng Xizhou.

The latter understood and immediately went forward to knock.

In the Yu Residence, when Yu Kangtai heard the knocking, he felt as if every knock was on his heart. It made his scalp tingle and he was extremely nervous.

Yu Pingping was anxious. “Father, the bridal party is already here. What should we do now?”

Yu Kangtai did not know what to do.

The butler asked carefully, “Should we open the door first? It’s not good to keep them outside.”

Yu Kangtai asked, “What do we say after the door opens?”

Yu Pingping gritted her teeth. “Why don’t we just tell the truth? At this point, we have no other choice.”

Yu Kangtai sighed heavily.

At this point, they had no choice but to confess.

The door to the Yu residence slowly opened and Yu Kangtai walked out with heavy steps.

He looked up and saw Duke Lang on horseback and the large group of Eagle Guards who looked heroic and murderous at the same time.

His legs and stomach could not help but tremble, and the courage he had painstakingly accumulated drained away. His mouth opened and closed, but he could not say a word.

Anyone could tell that there was something wrong with Yu Kangtai.

Xiao Juan dismounted and strode up the steps.

“I’m here to get married. Hurry up and get Niaoniao to come out.”

Cold sweat rolled down Yu Kangtai’s forehead.

He stammered, “Clinging… she’s not in a position to come out for the time being.”

As soon as he said this, it immediately caused the onlookers to speculate.

“It’s an auspicious time, but the bride hasn’t come out. Don’t tell me she’s run away from the marriage?”

“That’s very likely! After all, the person she’s going to marry is Duke Lang. No normal person would be willing to marry such a murderous living King of Hell, right?”

...

“In my opinion, Duke Lang deserves it. He killed so many people before, and now even his wife has run away. This is retribution!”

… .

The onlookers deliberately lowered their voices. Normal people could not hear what they were saying.

However, Xiao Juan’s senses were sharp, and he could hear the surrounding discussions clearly.

He did not believe that Yu Niaoniao would run away from the marriage, but he quickly remembered that he had asked Yu Niaoniao to consider the marriage again yesterday. Yu Niaoniao was very angry.

She said she would think about it. She told him not to be angry if she broke the engagement.

At the time, he’d thought she’d said it out of anger.

Now, could she be telling the truth?

Had she really broken off the engagement?

Meng Xizhou was furious. He grabbed Yu Kangtai’s lapel and interrogated him angrily.

“Where exactly is Miss Yu? Did you hide her?”

...

Yu Kangtai hurriedly defended himself.

“I didn’t! Why would I hide her? Let go of me.”

At this moment, Shen Rui walked over.

He frowned at Yu Kangtai and asked in a low voice.

“It’s already the auspicious time. Why hasn’t Miss Yu come out yet? If she doesn’t want to get married, she can just say so. There’s no need to play these tricks.”

Yu Kangtai couldn’t argue. “It’s not what you think. It’s not that she doesn’t want to come out. Something happened to her.”

Xiao Juan’s expression changed and he immediately asked.

“What happened to her?”

Yu Kangtai said, “She suddenly disappeared last night. I haven’t seen her since.”

Shen Rui was skeptical. “How could a living person suddenly disappear? There are so many people in your family. Can’t you even keep an eye on a little girl?”

Yu Kangtai could not explain this.

Last night, all their attention was on Mrs. Jiang. No one cared about Yu Niaoniao at all, so they naturally did not know how she disappeared.

However, in front of so many people, he couldn’t tell them that Mrs. Jiang had attempted suicide.

“Family scandal should not be aired in public.”

Seeing him stutter, Shen Rui felt that his words could not be trusted.

“Since you can’t explain it, wait for your punishment. I’ll go back to the palace and report to Father and ask him to make a decision for Duke Lang.”

Yu Kangtai was completely flustered.

Once the Sixth Prince reported this matter to the emperor, he might not be able to keep his black hat.

He wanted to reach out to stop Shen Rui, but he was afraid of the other party’s status as a prince. He hesitated and did not dare to move. He could only ask Duke Lang for help.

“Your Highness, you have to believe me. Niaoniao is really missing!”
