Chapter 482 - 482: Braised Beef



Yu Niaoniao asked Xiao Juan what he planned to do next.

Xiao Juan told her to hurry up and sleep.

“It’s late. If you don’t sleep, it’ll be dawn.”

With that, he pushed Yu Niaoniao towards the bed.

The bedroom was divided into two parts. There was a low couch for a lunch break in the outer room. Xiao Juan slept there at night.

Since Xiao Juan had returned safely, Yu Niaoniao could naturally relax. She lay on the bed and fell asleep not long after.

Xiao Juan lay on the low couch and listened to the calm breathing coming from the inner room. His heart calmed down.

He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Chun Feng and Ye Yu brought breakfast.

Yu Niaoniao prepared to continue last night’s topic while eating with Xiao Juan.

Unexpectedly, just as they sat down, Wei Liao appeared.

He did not treat himself as an outsider at all. Without needing Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan to speak, he sat down on the empty seat at the table and smiled.

“Yo, are you preparing to eat? Coincidentally, I haven’t eaten yet. Give me a pair of chopsticks.”

Yu Niaoniao said angrily, “What are you doing here?”

Wei Liao said, “I’m here to discuss serious matters with you.” Yu Niaoniao did not believe him. “What serious business can you have?”

“I heard something. The county governor of Liangzhou, Wang Jianan, has a grandson called Wang Jun.”

“That kid disappeared five years ago and has been missing since.”

“From then on, Wang Jianan became indifferent to the world and focused on antique calligraphy and painting.”

“He did not care about Princess Ni Yang’s various evil deeds.”

“Sometimes, he would even take the initiative to help Princess Ni Yang clean up the mess. He had already become Princess Ni Yang’s vassal.”

“I guessed that Princess Ni Yang probably had something on him that caused his personality to suddenly change.”

“That weakness is very likely related to Wang Jun. We can investigate from this point.”

After Wei Liao finished speaking, he was surprised to find that Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao did not move.

“Don’t you think this is a valuable clue? I especially shared such an important clue with you. Shouldn’t you give any indication?” Yu Niaoniao raised her chin and said proudly.

“We already knew about this!”

Wei Liao was even more surprised. “When did you know?”

Actually, Yu Niaoniao only found out last night, but in order to pretend, she could not tell the truth.

“We knew about such a small matter a long time ago!” Wei Liao narrowed his eyes. “Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Why should I tell you?”

Wei Liao said, “But I told you everything!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “But we already know. There’s no point in telling us.”

Wei Liao said, “But before I told you, I didn’t know you already knew.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “What difference does it make?”

Wei Liao refused to give in and argued, “Of course there’s a difference!”

“Without knowing that you already know the clues, I took the initiative to share the important clues I had investigated with you.”

“I thought of you immediately if anything good happened, but you were unwilling to share your clues with me. In comparison, don’t you think you’re very selfish?!”

Yu Niaoniao raised her hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, okay. You’re in the right.”

Wei Liao snapped, “I’m the one in the right!”

Xiao Juan interrupted unhurriedly, “If you continue arguing, the noodles will pile up.”

Only then did Yu Niaoniao remember that she had not eaten breakfast.

There was no food in her stomach, and she had no aura when she quarreled.

She immediately picked up her bowl and chopsticks and ate.

Wei Liao slammed the table and reminded, “Where’s my share?”

In view of his good behavior of taking the initiative to provide clues, Yu

Niaoniao still got someone to add a set of bowls and chopsticks for him. Wei Liao scooped up noodles from the casserole and did not forget to ask. “How did you know about Wang Jian’an and his grandson?”

Yu Niaoniao replied casually, “Because I’ve seen his grandson. He’s in the princess’s residence. I even promised to send him food today.”

Wei Liao laughed. “You’re really lucky to encounter such a thing.”

Seeing the two of them chatting back and forth in a harmonious and natural atmosphere, Xiao Juan could not help but feel a little bitter.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the noodles in his bowl. They tasted bland and like chewing wax.

At that moment, two large slices of braised beef landed in his bowl. He looked up along the chopsticks and saw Yu Niaoniao smiling at him.

“Eat more.”

Xiao Juan’s feelings were cured by this smile.

Wei Liao knocked on the edge of the bowl and shouted shamelessly.

“I want beef too!”

Yu Niaoniao rolled her eyes at him. “Go eat your fart!”

Xiao Juan picked up the poached egg in his bowl and placed it in Yu Niaoniao’s bowl.

“This is for you.”

Yu Niaoniao was stunned.

Recently, Xiao Juan had been avoiding her and rarely took the initiative. She was both shocked and happy.

She immediately forgot about Wei Liao and picked up the poached egg to take a big bite.

“This poached egg that our Ah Juan gave me smells so good!”

Xiao Juan’s heart raced at her intimate tone.

He lowered his eyes and returned to his noodles, pretending not to hear her.

For some reason, the taste of the noodles became delicious again.

Wei Liao was very unhappy with the scene in front of him. He threw his bowl and chopsticks on the table and said angrily.

“No! These lousy noodles taste terrible!”

Yu Niaoniao ate happily as usual and ignored him.

If she did not speak, Xiao Juan naturally would not speak either.

So there was only the sound of noodles being sucked and soup being drunk.

Wei Liao stared at the two people in front of him and sneered.

“Heh, you’re really magnanimous. Princess Ni Yang is about to rebel, but you still have the mood to eat noodles!”

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan stopped eating their noodles at the same time and looked at him in unison.

Yu Niaoniao said, “What rebellion? What do you know now?”

Wei Liao crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly, looking domineering.

“I want beef!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Didn’t you say you weren’t eating?”

Wei Liao said, “I just dislike the noodles, but I didn’t say that the beef isn’t delicious. If you want to know what I mean, you have to follow my instructions, understand?”

Yu Niaoniao picked up the plate of braised beef and placed it heavily in front of him.

“Eat! All for you!”

Wei Liao glanced at her. “Is that your attitude?”

Yu Niaoniao had never seen such an annoying fellow.

However, she had a favor to ask. She could only endure her temper and pick up a piece of braised beef and put it in his bowl. “Can Young Master Wei do this?”

Wei Liao said, “That’s too little.”

Yu Niaoniao picked up a large handful of braised beef and placed it in his bowl.

“Eat slowly. Be careful not to choke.” Wei Liao smiled happily.

“Don’t worry, I won’t choke.”

He picked up his chopsticks and slowly ate two pieces of braised beef. When he was satisfied, he spoke.

“Actually, I found something else.”

“There was once a rumor that there was an iron mine in Liangzhou.”

“However, no one knew where the iron ore was, and the authorities had not received any news about it.”

“Over time, this matter was treated as a rumor..”
