BXBX NOVEL Chapter 315 - 315 Wish
“Princess Consort, these are the sausages you wanted. I brought them for you. See if these are enough. If not, I’ll go back and get them.”
Originally, she did not have to do such an errand personally. She usually left it to the servants to do.
But today, she had heard rumors that Duke Lang had a woman outside.
!!
She was really worried, so she personally came to the Justice Department.
She wanted to take the opportunity to have a good chat with Duke Lang and persuade him to cut ties with the shady woman outside.
Yu Niaoniao looked at the basket full of sausages and hurriedly replied.
“Enough, enough.”
Granny Xiu Yan smiled. “If there’s anything else you need, you can tell me.”
Yu Niaoniao thought for a moment and did not think of anything else.
“Nothing for the time being. You must be tired from this trip. Sit down and have a cup of tea.”
Granny Xiu Yan declined. “No need. I rode a donkey here. I’m not tired at all.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “You mean Gray?”
Granny Xiu Yan nodded.
“That’s right. I originally wanted to take a carriage. However, we still had to install the carriage. I found it too troublesome so I simply rode Gray out.”
“It happened so that it had not gone out for a long time, so I let it out for a run today.”
“Gray is indeed your donkey. It is especially humane. Without even pointing the way, it brought me straight to the Justice Department.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “If you want to go out in the future, you can ride it. Although it can’t run as fast as a horse, it’s stable.”
Granny Xiu Yan clearly liked Gray and agreed.
“Alright, in the future, when I have nothing to do, I’ll bring it out for some air so that it won’t feel stifled.”
Yu Niaoniao smiled and said, “Since you’re here, why don’t you have dinner here before leaving? I can even take you on a tour of the Justice Department.”
Granny Xiu Yan was indeed very curious about where Duke Lang usually worked. When she heard this, she was very tempted.
But not everyone could stay in the Justice Department.
She looked at Xiao Juan and asked.
“Can I?”
Seeing Xiao Juan nod, she was relieved.
“Then I’ll shamelessly stay for this meal.”
Yu Niaoniao carried the heavy bamboo basket. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the kitchen and think about what to eat tonight.”
Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly snatched the bamboo basket.
“There’s no need for you to do anything. Let me do it.”
Although she was old, she was still very agile.
She followed Yu Niaoniao with the bamboo basket.
They chatted as they walked and soon reached the kitchen.
There was still a lot of cured meat left for lunch. Coupled with sausages, it was just enough to make a steamed dish of cured food.
In addition, she made a casserole porridge, steamed garlic prawns, and finally stir-fried two home-cooked dishes. That was about it.
The Justice Department only made breakfast and lunch and usually did not make dinner. Therefore, the chefs and helpers had already left in the afternoon. At this moment, only Yu Niaoniao and Granny Xiu Yan were in the kitchen.
Granny Xiu Yan looked around the kitchen from the inside out. She was very satisfied to see that it was very clean and there was no oil on the stove. The ingredients in the storeroom were also very rich.
It seemed that Duke Lang and the Princess Consort ate quite well here.
Seeing that Yu Niaoniao had begun to wash the vegetables, Granny Xiu Yan hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and helped her.
“Don’t do it. Let me, a servant, do these rough jobs.”
Yu Niaoniao smiled and said, “It’s fine. Let’s do it together.”
Granny Xiu Yan quickly chose and washed the vegetables, but her eyes kept glancing at Yu Niaoniao.
Yu Niaoniao noticed her gaze and could not help but ask.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Granny Xiu Yan looked around to make sure there was no one else there before speaking in a low voice.
“Is your period here this month?”
Yu Niaoniao did not understand. “Not yet. Why are you asking?”
Granny Xiu Yan’s eyes were filled with anticipation. “Do you want to get a doctor to take a look? What if you’re pregnant?”
Yu Niaoniao immediately understood what the other party was thinking.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry. She had not consummated her marriage with Xiao Juan. How could she be pregnant?
However, she could not tell Granny Xiu Yan about this.
Yu Niaoniao said, “I get my period at the end of last month. It’s still early this month.”
Granny Xiu Yan was still unwilling to give up.
“What if you’re pregnant? You can’t say for sure. It’s safer to let the doctor take a look.”
...
She was old and did not know how many years she could live. She could not help but feel anxious.
In the past, her greatest wish was to see Duke Lang marry a consort. Now that Duke Lang had finally married a consort, her wish was to see Duke Lang father a fat boy.
If she could hug Duke Lang’s child before she passed, she would die in peace!
Yu Niaoniao advised, “Don’t be anxious. Duke Lang and I are still young. Let’s wait a little longer. At least wait until I’m 18 before thinking about giving birth.”
Granny Xiu Yan immediately panicked when she heard this.
“Why wait until you’re 18? Aren’t you in good health now? It shouldn’t be a problem for you to get pregnant and have children.”
Yu Niaoniao had no choice but to start fooling her.
“I just look healthy. Actually, my constitution isn’t very good. I used to be seriously ill. I’ve lost my health since then. I still have to recuperate for a long time to recover.”
Granny Xiu Yan believed her and became even more anxious.
“I see! Why didn’t you say so earlier?
She could not neglect his recuperation.
...
“I’ll get someone to buy more medicinal herbs to nourish your body and send them to you and Duke Lang later.”
She had to recuperate Yu Niaoniao’s body as soon as possible so that she could give birth to Duke Lang’s children as soon as possible.
Yu Niaoniao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Granny Xiu Yan stopped pressing her into giving birth, anything else was fine.
She nodded in agreement. “Thank you, Granny.”
Granny Xiu Yan sighed. “Don’t stand on ceremony with me. I’ve never been married or had children in my life. My only hope is to see you and Duke Lang happy and have children early.”
Yu Niaoniao did not dare to answer this, afraid that she would stir up trouble again.
She forcefully changed the subject. “It takes a lot of time to cook porridge. I’ll wash the rice first.”
“Okay.”
When the sun set in the west and the Eagle Guards went home, the Justice Department became cold and empty.
Yu Niaoniao and Granny Xiu Yan brought the food to the table.
“Princess Consort, shall I call Duke Lang over for dinner?”
Yu Niaoniao hurriedly said, “I’ll go. I’ll call Little Lo over for dinner too.”
“Okay.”
Lo Pingsha’s house was empty. He could not be bothered to travel back and forth, so he had been living in the Justice Department.
Usually, he would go out for dinner. Tonight, when he found out that there was delicious food personally cooked by the County Princess, he was naturally overjoyed. He immediately changed his clothes and went to the dining hall.
The dining hall was very quiet at night and the oil lamp on the table emitted a warm yellow glow.
Yu Niaoniao invited everyone to sit down and eat.
