Chapter 420 - Chapter 420: True Lord



Yu Niaoniao’s body was submerged in hot water. The heat kept rising, making her sleepy.

Chun Feng and Ye Yu carefully carried her out of the bathtub. After drying her, they helped her lie on the bed.

Ye Yu covered her with the blanket and lowered the bed curtain.

Chun Feng left an oil lamp at the head of the bed. She blew out the other oil lamps.

They retreated quietly.

As soon as they went out, they saw Duke Lang standing under the porch.

The two of them hurriedly bowed.

Xiao Juan asked calmly.

“How is she?”

Chun Feng said softly, “The Princess Consort is already asleep.”

Xiao Juan said, “She drank a lot and might wake up at night. Remember to watch her.”

Chun Feng and Ye Yu agreed in unison. “Yes.”

Xiao Juan looked at the closed door again before turning to leave.

He still spent the night in the study.

Watching him leave, Ye Yu was puzzled and asked softly, “Duke Lang is clearly very concerned about the Princess Consort. Why didn’t he stay behind to accompany her just now?”

Chun Feng shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Over the past few days, the relationship between Duke Lang and the Princess Consort had become cold. As maidservants, they naturally noticed it.

They had thought that Duke Lang had lost his sense of novelty in the relationship and did not like the Princess Consort anymore, but from his attitude, he clearly still had the Princess Consort in his heart.

They were even more confused. What was going on between the two of them?

Yu Niaoniao slept soundly.

When she woke up, it was late in the morning.

She sat up and looked out the window at the bright sunlight. She couldn’t help but rub her throbbing forehead.

“What time is it?”

Chun Feng answered truthfully, “It’s already nine o’clock.”

Damn, it was already so late! Yu Niaoniao immediately lifted the blanket and jumped out of bed. “Quick, bring my clothes over.”

Ye Yu brought over the dress she had prepared long ago and helped the County Princess put it on.

Yu Niaoniao urged, “Hurry up. I’m already late.”

She had to clock in at the Justice Department early in the morning. She was already an hour and a half late!

Chun Feng said, “Princess Consort, there’s no hurry. Before His Highness left, he instructed that he would apply for leave for you today. You can rest in the residence in peace.”

Yu Niaoniao was stunned and blurted out, “Will the fee be deducted if I take leave?”

Chun Feng hesitated. “I don’t think so.”

She did not understand.

Logically speaking, when the Princess Consort found out that Duke Lang had helped her apply for leave, she should be touched by his thoughtfulness, right? Why was the Princess Consort’s first reaction to the question if money would be deducted?

Chun Feng said carefully,”His Highness specially applied for leave for you out of love. Compared to His Highness’s love, that bit of money should be nothing. When His Highness returns, you have to thank him properly.”

Yu Niaoniao replied, “Yes, yes, I will.”

However, she felt extremely regretful. If she missed a day of work, she would lose a day of salary!

Putting up a drama was a money-burning endeavor. Every copper coin she had now was incomparably precious!

After washing up, Yu Niaoniao sent Chun Feng and Ye Yu out.

She dug out the banknotes she had earned last night and counted them one by one to make sure not a single one was missing.

Very good. She did not pay for the expenses at Green Garden last night.

She had saved another huge sum!

Yu Niaoniao carefully put the banknotes into the box and locked it.

She gently stroked the surface of the box, her eyes filled with love.

“Baby, stay here well. Don’t go anywhere. Whether I can help Duke Lang clear his name in the future depends on you.”

After breakfast, Yu Niaoniao called the four embroiderers over.

She first rewarded the embroiderers with ten taels of silver each, then gave them the task of making seven bolsters.

The embroiderers accepted the mission and left happily with the silver.

Then, Yu Niaoniao went to the study and made ten bookmarks.

Looking at the customized bookmark of Phoenix Cry Country, Yu Niaoniao thought of a certain man who had secretly helped her make bookmarks in the middle of the night.

Although the plan last night had failed and she was very frustrated and a little angry, this indirectly proved one thing—

Xiao Juan was really a gentleman!

Thinking of this, Yu Niaoniao felt a little proud.

Her man was not the kind of person who would be tempted at the sight of prey. He could still maintain his bottom line in the face of temptation.

Hehehe, she liked it so much!

Yu Niaoniao picked up her pen and dipped it in ink. According to Xiao Juan’s image, she drew a group of cute little people.

As she drew, she imagined Xiao Juan doing these actions and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

When she was done, she made this set of cartoons into a bookmark.

Yu Niaoniao placed this specially customized set of bookmarks into a box and pasted a small note of “Baby’s Kiss”.

But on second thought, she was afraid that Xiao Juan did not know that this was for him.

So she drew another bird in the corner of the small note.

Yu Niaoniao placed the box neatly in the middle of the desk, ensuring that Xiao Juan would see it at first glance when he returned.

After doing this, she left the study and returned to the bedroom to change into men’s clothes. Then, she rode the donkey to the Heavenly Oriole Garden.

Today, she entered the theater as usual.

She went up to the third floor and into the private room.

She realized that other than Zheng Changle, there was also a middle-aged man who looked similar to Zheng Changle.

It was obvious that this middle-aged man was Zheng Changle’s father.

As expected, he introduced himself. “My name is Zheng Zaizhou. I’m the owner of the Heavenly Oriole Garden and Changle’s father.’

“I’ve already heard about you from Changle. I’ve already read the play you gave me.”

“To be honesty the plot of the script was very good. The ups and downs were very interesting. ”

“However, the protagonist inside was mapped to Duke Lang. You should know very well what kind of person Duke Lang is.”

“Although our opera troupe is a little famous in the Jade Capital, we are still ordinary people. I really can’t afford to offend Duke Lang and the Justice Department.”

Yu Niaoniao listened quietly. When he was done, she spoke slowly.

“If Master Zheng didn’t want to cooperate with me, he wouldn’t have appeared here today. Since you appeared, it means that you actually have the intention to cooperate.”

Zheng Zaizhou smiled helplessly. “I do like your play. From my experience, if it’s adapted into a play and moved onto the stage, the response will definitely be very good. It’s just that the protagonist in the play has to be changed…”

Yu Niaoniao interrupted him.

“The protagonist can’t be changed. It has to be Duke Lang.”

Her tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation.

Zheng Zaizhou said, “Why do you have to do this? Why do you have to go against Duke Lang?”

Yu Niaoniao explained, “In this movie, Duke Lang has always had a positive image. Even if Duke Lang finds out, he won’t be angry.”

“Who can guarantee that? After all, Duke Lang is famous for being cold-blooded and heartless.. What if he doesn’t like being treated as the protagonist in the show and kills us all out of displeasure?”
