Chapter 28: Come, Call Me Brother
Early the next morning.
Dang Gui ground the beans she had soaked last night into soy milk.
Fresh soy milk with crispy fried dough sticks. It was a beautiful feeling!
As soon as Mrs. Jiang walked into the Green Jade Residence, she smelled a rich fragrance.
She hadn’t had much of an appetite in the past two days, but she swallowed involuntarily at the scent.
“What are you guys eating?”
Yu Niaoniao swallowed the fried dough stick in her mouth and asked, “Why are you here?”
Mrs. Jiang was naturally here for Yu Sheng.
Last night, she had been thinking about her son and could not fall asleep.
Yu Kangtai was not much better than her. He had not slept well either.
However, because he still had an official position and could not stay at home forever, he had to force himself to stay awake and go out to work with two big dark circles under his eyes.
Mrs. Jiang stated her intentions.
Yu Qianqian spoke as she ate her breakfast.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go out later. I’ll let you see Yu Sheng as soon as possible.”
Mrs. Jiang could not tell if her words were true or not.
But in this situation, Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to believe her for the time being.
After breakfast, she planned to go out.
She made a point of going to the stables and bringing out the little donkey she had put there.
When she and Dang Gui approached the front door, they saw the butler leading someone into the residence.
When the butler saw Yu Niaoniao, he was clearly stunned.
Then, he noticed the little donkey that Yu Yuanyuan was holding. His expression became even more complicated.
“Miss, what are you...”
Yu Qianqian stroked the donkey’s ears and said crisply.
“I have to go out and do something.”
The butler thought that she was going out to plead with Prince Lang, so he quickly said, “I’ll get you a carriage now.”
He did not dare to let his eldest daughter ride the donkey to find Prince Lang.
Just the thought of that scene was unbearable.
Yu waved his little hand in a very casual manner. “No, Gray is enough.”
The butler choked.
Which young lady in the entire Jade Capital would ride a donkey to meet her fiancé?!
Even if she was shameless, the Yu family still had their pride!
The butler tried his best to save the Yu Residence’s face and suggested with difficulty.
“Your Gray is too slow. A carriage would be quicker.”
“It’s still early. I’m not in a hurry. It’s more comfortable to slow down.”
The butler said, “I didn’t mean...”
Yu Niao Niao said, “Thank you for your kindness. This will be fine. I don’t want to cause trouble for anyone.”
Her big black-and-white eyes were so full of sunshine they looked luminous.
The butler said nothing.
She was actually quite cute.
The person who had been standing beside the butler suddenly said, “Is this Cousin Niaoniao?”
Yu Niaoniao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young master who was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a silver-white brocade robe with the collar slightly open. His grayish-black outer robe was loosely draped over his body. His long hair was loose and his skin was even paler.
He did not stand straight, as though he was boneless.
The butler hurriedly replied, “Yes, this is Missy.”
Then, he introduced, “This is Madam’s nephew. He woke up today to visit Madam.”
The young master’s gaze lingered on Yu Niaoniao’s face for a moment.
He gently opened the fan. On the surface was a painting of a beauty. Beside the painting was the inscription.
His face broke into what he considered a rakish smile. At the same time, he deliberately lowered his voice to make it sound more magnetic.
“I’m Jiang Ze. I’ve long heard that a beautiful cousin came to my aunt’s house.
Seeing her today, she indeed lived up to her reputation.
“Come, call me brother.”
