Yu Niaoniao admitted frankly, “That’s right. Although he’s a man, he has a baby face. He looks very cute.”
Xiao Juan asked, “Do you like him?”
Yu Niaoniao’s expression immediately became meaningful.
“Baby, you’re not jealous, are you?”
Xiao Juan lowered his eyes and continued to apply medication to her. “No.” Yu Niaoniao rolled her eyes and continued to smile.
“I do like Little Lo. He’s cute, good at medicine, and talented and good-looking.
Who wouldn’t like a boy like him?”
Xiao Juan told himself that it was impossible for Niaoniao to like Lo Pingsha. There could not be anything between the two of them.
But his lips were pursed tightly. Jealousy spread wildly in his heart. He couldn’t control it.
At that moment, he heard Niaoniao say something.
“So I quite want Little Lo to be my brother-in-law.” Xiao Juan was stunned. “Brother-in-law?”
Yu Niaoniao said slowly.
“My father has been looking for a suitable in-law for Pingping. I think Little Lo is quite good. He’s reserved and doesn’t talk much. But he is smart, thoughtful, and reliable.”
“Pingping had an extroverted personality. She chattered all day long and was a little carefree. However, she is clear about her love and hate and is sincere with others. She is very sensible about important matters.”
“Their personalities happened to complement each other. Wasn’t that just right? However, this is just my wishful thinking. Whether they like each other in the end depends on themselves.”
Xiao Juan did not expect Niaoniao to think that way.
“I thought you…”
Yu Niaoniao laughed. “Why? Do you think I like Little Lo? You let your imagination run wild.”
Xiao Juan also felt that he was thinking too much.
Because he liked Niaoniao himself, he felt that all the men in the world would snatch her from him.
Love had made him worried about personal gains and losses. He was a little unlike his old self.
“I was thinking too much. It’s my fault.”
Yu Niaoniao only wanted to joke with him. Seeing that he was seriously admitting his mistake, she felt a little embarrassed.
“You’re not wrong either. I didn’t express myself clearly enough just now.”
Xiao Juan took the opportunity to change the topic. “Can your father agree to let your sister be with Little Lo?”
Civil officials like Yu Kangtai, who had come from a proper background, hated the Justice Department and the Eagle Guards the most. In their opinion, the Eagle Guards were a group of jackals, tigers, and leopards.
Yu Kangtai only had two daughters in total. His eldest daughter had been betrothed to Duke Lang by the emperor. There was nothing he could do about it. He could only accept it.
He would definitely not want his youngest daughter to marry an Eagle Guard.
Yu Niaoniao smiled.
“In the past, he would definitely not have agreed.”
“But things were different now. Ever since Madam Jiang’s accident, my family had become infamous in the Imperial capital.”
“Everyone knew that Madam Jiang is a vicious woman. As her biological daughter, Pingping’s reputation is naturally not much better.”
“Now, all the upright families in the Imperial capital were unwilling to form marriage relations with our family.”
“And my father looked down on those who wanted to marry into our family. In comparison, isn’t Little Lo the best choice?”
She made sense. Xiao Juan asked, “Then, are you planning to introduce them to each other?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “There’s no hurry. When we return to the Imperial Capital, I’ll find an opportunity to mention this to them. If they don’t dislike it, let them meet. If not, forget it.”
Xiao Juan bandaged her wound again.
Yu Niaoniao wanted to reach out and scratch her arm, but she was stopped by Xiao Juan.
Xiao Juan told her not to move.
Yu Niaoniao said, “But my wound has been itching recently. It feels uncomfortable if I don’t scratch it.”
Xiao Juan said, “That’s the wound slowly healing. Bear with it.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “1 know, but I still itch.”
Xiao Juan had no better idea and could only say to her. “Go to sleep. You won’t feel itchy after you fall asleep.” Yu Niaoniao pouted. “Give me a kiss. It won’t itch anymore.”
Xiao Juan was exceptionally obedient at this moment. He bent down and kissed her gently on the lips.
“Is this okay?”
Yu Niaoniao smacked her lips with a reluctant expression.
“It’s passable.”
Xiao Juan was caught between laughter and tears.
The next day they continued on their way.
When they passed by a county city, they saw Ling Hai and Ling Miao. So this was where the Ling family was.
The Ling family had already returned to their original residence and had even received compensation from the government.
They used this compensation to buy materials, hire workers, and continue to do the cloth business. Their lives returned to normal.
In order to express their gratitude, the Ling family prepared a sumptuous meal and warmly entertained Yu Niaoniao and the others.
Although Yu Niaoniao could not drink, she was happy for the Ling family.
The next morning, Yu Niaoniao, Xiao Juan, and the others prepared to set off again.
As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw Ling Hai standing in the courtyard with his luggage.
Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “What are you doing?”
Unexpectedly, Ling Hai knelt down in front of her.
“His Highness and the Princess Consort saved our Ling family. You’re our benefactors. I don’t know how to repay you. I can only follow you and work for you. I hope Your Highness and Princess Consort can accept me!”
Yu Niaoniao said, “You’re still young. Even if you want to repay my kindness, you can do so in a few years. You should stay at home and study hard now.” Ling Hai was unwilling.
“I’m already twelve years old this year. I’m not a child anymore. Please give me a chance, Princess Consort. I’m very capable of suffering. As long as you let me follow you, I’m willing to do anything!”
Yu Niaoniao did not understand. “Why do you have to follow us? If you leave with us, won’t your family worry about you?”
Ling Hai had clearly considered this and said quickly.
“I’ve already told my parents, brother, and sister about this. They all think that men have ambitions and support me in following you to the Imperial Capital.”
Yu Niaoniao looked at Xiao Juan and asked.
“What do you think?”
Xiao Juan really wanted to arrange an errand boy beside Niaoniao. Although
Meng Xizhou and Yan Nanguan could help her, they were still from the Justice Department and had their own things to do. They could not wait for Niaoniao’s instructions at any time.
Ling Hai was a good candidate. The child was smart and brave. Most importantly, he was grateful to Niaoniao and was reliable.
Xiao Juan said, “Let him follow you to try out first. Coincidentally, it’s inconvenient for you to move now. You can instruct him to do anything.”
Yu Niaoniao agreed.
“Fine.”
Ling Hai was overjoyed. “Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Princess
Consort!”
Although Ling Hai said that he had already obtained his family’s approval, Niaoniao still met the Ling family personally.
Ling Hai’s father said, “We can’t bear to part with Little Hai, but he has his own opinions. He didn’t want to be trapped in this small place. He wanted to see the outside world. As parents, we could only let him fly.”
“We all know that you and His Highness are good people. We’re very relieved to have Little Hai by your side..”
