The Wrong Plot

It was midnight and still.

In a certain corner of the Yu family mansion, two suspicious people were squatting.

Dang Gui asked softly, "Miss, are we really going to leave like this?"

Yu Niaoniao pulled hard at the pile of grass in front of her and spoke without looking back.

"Everyone is saying that I have an affair with Duke Lang, but it's not like you don't know that I've never spoken to him. He doesn't even know who I am, let alone have anything to do with me.

When Duke Lang returns to the Jade Capital and hears those rumors, he will definitely kill me!"

Recalling the infamous name of Duke Lang, Angelica couldn't help but shiver.

Yu Niaoniao said, "Let's leave before DukeLang comes back. Don't worry, with my culinary skills, you won't starve."

Angelica nodded vigorously.

If she followed Miss, there would be meat to eat!

After pulling aside the haystack, she revealed the dog hole hidden under the wall.

The mistress and her servant ducked out, one after the other.

Yu Niaoniao knew someone in the city. She planned to look for that person and stay at his house for the night. She would leave the city at dawn.

Dang Gui gripped the bundle tightly, both nervous and excited.

"Miss, according to the plot in the script, will we meet a handsome and elegant man next? Perhaps you and him will have a passionate love story."

Yu Niaoniao sneered disdainfully. "Men will only affect my speed towards freedom."

An hour later.

In the prison of the Imperial Capital.

Dang Gui and Yu Niaoniao grabbed the cell door with both hands, their expressions dull and their eyes lifeless.

Dang Gui said,"This plot development is wrong!"

Yu Niaoniao pressed her head against the cell door and said in pain.

"I didn't know there was a curfew in the Imperial Capital!"

There were patrolling officers everywhere in the city who specially caught those who did not sleep in the middle of the night and were still strolling on the streets. Not long after the two of them ran out of the Yu Residence, they fell into the hands of the patrolling officers and were immediately given a set of luxurious shackles!

The jailer came over, opened the cell door, and spoke to them.

"Someone wants to see you."

Yu Qianqian and Dang Gui thought that someone from the Yu Residence had rushed over after hearing the news.

However, in the next moment, a handsome man in a crimson embroidered eagle brocade robe appeared in front of the cell door.

He wore a black cloak and carried an ancient-looking saber at his waist. His black hair was held back by a jade crown, revealing cold eyes as sharp as blades. He had a high nose and thin lips, and his skin was cold and white.

His entire body exuded a terrifying and dangerous aura.

He was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

The moment Yu Niaoniao saw him, she blurted out as if she had seen a ghost.

"Duke Lang?!"

At the same time, countless captions quickly appeared in her mind. They were all about the recent rumors about her and Prince Lang.

"Did you know that Assistant Minister Yu's eldest daughter often dates Prince Lang in private? Could there really be something going on between the two of them?"

"What do you mean by a private date? We're already engaged!"

"What's the big deal? I heard that Miss Yu is already pregnant with Prince Lang's child!"

...

Yu Niaoniao's almond-shaped eyes widened. Her face turned pale and she cried out in fear.

"That can't be right! I thought you were still away on business and wouldn't be back for another two days?"

Duke Lang placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. His well-defined pale fingers formed a sharp contrast with the black hilt, as if he would unsheathe his sword in the next moment.

His gaze grew cold and his tone dangerous.

"I didn't expect that I would be told that I was about to become a father just because I went out on an errand."
