Xiao Juan picked up his bowl and chopsticks and continued to feed her. Yu Niaoniao took a bite of the fish and immediately frowned.
“Why are there thorns in this fish?”
Xiao Juan immediately lowered his head to look at the remaining fish in his bowl and used his chopsticks to pry open the fish to examine it carefully. He did not see any fish bones.
Yu Niaoniao said, “The fish bones are too small to see. If you don’t believe me, try a bite.”
Xiao Juan did not suspect anything and picked up the fish to taste.
There were indeed no fish bones.
Yu Niaoniao asked him to try it again.
He looked up at Yu Niaoniao and saw her sly smile. How could he not understand? He had been played by her.
Xiao Juan put down his bowl and chopsticks. “You already have the strength to fool people. Looks like you don’t need me to feed you anymore. Eat slowly.”
Yu Niaoniao hurriedly stopped him.
“Don’t go! I won’t tease you anymore.”
Xiao Juan was not really leaving. Hearing her say this, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and continued to feed her.
With every bite of rice, Yu Niaoniao had to look at Xiao Juan.
Xiao Juan was a little nervous but his expression did not change.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Yu Niaoniao smiled and said, “You’re good-looking. As long as I look at you, my appetite will improve.”
Xiao Juan was a little happy to be coaxed, but he still looked cold.
“Don’t be glib.”
Yu Niaoniao retorted, “I’m just telling the truth.”
Xiao Juan did not argue with her and silently fed her.
After eating and drinking her fill, Yu Niaoniao leaned back and said lazily.
“This meal today is really delicious. It’s better than anything I’ve eaten before!
Do you know why, Juan?”
Xiao Juan’s heart trembled at her address.
He lowered his eyes, picked up the low table as if nothing had happened, and turned to leave.
Yu Niaoniao shouted behind his back, “Because you fed me this meal today. I think it smells especially good!”
Even as Xiao Juan warned himself not to believe her sweet words, he could not help but smile.
He bumped into Chun Feng as he walked out of the door.
Chun Feng was holding a teapot in her hand when she accidentally saw the smile on Duke Lang’s lips. She could not help but stand rooted to the ground.
She had been in the Duke’s Mansion for so many years, but she had never seen him smile!
She thought she was hallucinating and wanted to take a closer look, but the corners of Duke Lang’s mouth had returned to normal, and the special effects on his face had disappeared.
Chun Feng could not help but feel a little dazed.
Could it be that she was really hallucinating just now? Seeing that she was standing still, Xiao Juan asked calmly.
“What’s up?”
Chun Feng came back to her senses and hurriedly lowered her head. “I’m here to deliver calming tea to the Princess Consort.” Xiao Juan replied indifferently, “Yes, go in.”
He turned aside and let Chun Feng into the house.
Chun Feng heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the County Princess sitting on the bed. Her face was red again and she was humming a tune. She looked to be in good spirits. It seemed that the County Princess should be fine.
“Princess Consort, this is the calming tea that His Highness specially instructed me to cook for you.” Chun Feng poured tea as she spoke.
She noticed two hangings of fresh grapes on the table and smiled.
“These are the grapes His Highness bought for you, right? They look so fresh.
They must be very sweet. I’ll wash them for you now.”
Yu Niaoniao nodded vigorously. “Go, go.”
After Chun Feng handed her the teacup, she took the grapes to the copper basin and washed them one by one with clear water.
Yu Niaoniao held her teacup and sipped.
Chun Feng said, “Princess Consort, I have something to tell you.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “What is it?”
“Do you still remember Ling Hai and Ling Miao?” Chun Feng looked at the County Princess nod before continuing.
“The room where the siblings live is next to me and Ye Yu. I often take care of them. Previously, they had obediently stayed in the house and did not go out, but recently, for some reason, the two of them had often run out.”
“When I ask them what they were going to do, they hemmed and hawed, as if they were hiding something.”
Do you want to call the siblings over to ask?”
Yu Niaoniao put down her teacup. “Coincidentally, I’m free. I’ll just look for them.”
With that, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She called Ye Yu in to help her change.
Chun Feng hurriedly asked, “What about these grapes?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Bring them along.”
After changing, she brought Chun Feng and Ye Yu to the Ling siblings’ residence.
The truth was indeed as Chun Feng had said. Ling Hai and Ling Miao were not in the room. They must have gone out again.
Ye Yu brought over a chair and invited the County Princess to sit down.
Yu Niaoniao waited as she ate the grapes.
The grapes were indeed very sweet. She finished them one after another and could not stop.
Not long after, Ling Hai and Ling Miao returned.
The siblings were shocked to see the County Princess as soon as they entered.
They hurriedly knelt down. “Greetings, Princess Consort.”
Yu Niaoniao asked them to stand up and talk.
After this period of recuperation, the two children had gained some weight on their bodies and faces, and their skin had become fair and clean. In addition, their facial features were exquisite, to begin with, so they became even more cute and beautiful.
Yu Niaoniao asked, “Where did you go just now?”
Ling Hai replied softly, “It’s too stuffy in the house. I took my sister out for some air.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “But I heard that you guys have been running out every day recently. Could it be that you go out for air every day?”
Ling Hai’s voice became even softer. “Yes.”
Yu Niaoniao caught a glimpse of Ling Miao’s hands behind her back, as if she was hiding something, so she asked. “Miaomiao, what are you holding?”
Ling Miao’s face instantly turned pale.
She stuttered, “N… nothing.”
Yu Niaoniao sighed and educated them earnestly, “You’re all good children. Good children can’t lie. Don’t tell me you’re going to become bad children?”
Ling Miao hurriedly shook her head. “No! We’re not bad children!”
Yu Niaoniao extended her right hand. “Then show me what you have.” Ling Miaojiang looked at his brother for help.
Ling Hai knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he could only take the initiative to confess.
“Reporting to the Princess, we were not actually going out for some air. We went to see a friend.”
Yu Niaoniao was rather surprised. “You still have friends in the princess’s residence?”
Ling Hai told him everything.
“His name is Wang Jun. Many years ago, I attended the birthday banquet of the Wang family’s elders and saw him in the Wang family. We haven’t seen each other since. This was until three days ago when we happened to see Wang Jun in the princess’s residence.
“He didn’t look well. He was weak as if he hadn’t eaten in a long time. We have been saving our rations and giving him half.”
Seeing that her brother had told her everything, Ling Miao took out the small basket hidden behind her.
The small basket was used to store food. The food inside was gone, leaving an empty basket.
Yu Niaoniao was curious.
“Wang Jun? Where is he now?”
