Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child



58 Help Jiang Ze?

Yu Niaoniao looked at her livid face and scratched her head, looking very confused.

“Is that the attitude when asking for help these days?”

Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth to say something but was pulled back by Second Master Jiang.

Second Master Jiang only wanted Mrs. Jiang to teach Yu Qianqian a lesson, not to completely fall out with her.

After all, he still had to get Yu Niaoniao to help save his son.

If they really fell out, it would be difficult to save him.

Mrs. Jiang suppressed the anger in her heart, and the anger on her face faded.

She pressed a hand to her heart, her voice bitter and resigned.

“I know you don’t like me. After all, I’m not your biological mother. However, ever since I married into the Yu family, I had always been dutiful and did my best to take care of everyone in the family. I think I’ve done enough. Even if you don’t like me, please give me the most basic respect. Can you?”

By the time she finished, her eyes were red, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Second Master Jiang hurriedly added.

“Niaoniao, why are you still standing? Hurry up and apologize to your mother.”

He was already prepared that the other party would die before admitting her mistake and had thought of a series of conversation techniques.

In the end, she heard Yu Niaoniao reply indifferently.

“If you insist on an apology, then I’ll apologize.”

Second Master Jiang choked.

She might as well not apologize at all!

He braced himself. “What do you mean you have to apologize? None of us is forcing you to apologize. We’re trying to reason with you.”

Yu Niaoniao suddenly understood. “So you don’t need me to apologize? If you had said so earlier, I wouldn’t have apologized.”

Second Master Jiang was speechless.

A curse rose to his throat, but he forced it down.

He had originally thought that the other party was a country girl with no experience and a good appearance.

Now it seemed he had underestimated her.

This girl was very powerful!

Second Master Jiang took a deep breath. “No matter what, we’re your elders. We invited you over to have a chat out of goodwill. Why didn’t you accept it?”

“I explained just now. I’m busy and can’t leave for the time being.” Yu Niaoniao looked very distressed. She looked at the other party as if she was looking at a retard. “Can’t you understand what I’m saying?”

Second Master Jiang’s face flushed with anger.

But he couldn’t let it out. He could only grit his teeth and endure it.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. I’m sure you’ve already heard about Ah Ze. He was framed. He couldn’t have been involved in the anti-government poetry case. There must be some misunderstanding. Help me plead with Duke Lang and beg him to let Ah Ze off.”

At this moment, Mrs. Jiang spoke.

“As long as you can do this, I can double your dowry.”

She said this with great confidence.

Although the Jiang family was not rich, they were still a scholarly family that had accumulated wealth over many years. Their family had a rich foundation and many good things.

Yu Niaoniao stroked her chin as if she was thinking seriously.

“It sounds very tempting.”

Second Master Jiang thought that she was about to be tempted and was feeling happy when he heard her continue.

“But if I agree to help, how will I deal with Father if he comes after me?”

Mrs. Jiang was very confident. “Ah Ze is his nephew. He won’t leave him in the lurch. You just have to help him boldly.”

Yu Niaoniao looked her up and down and asked in a very surprised tone.

“Don’t tell me Mother doesn’t know yet?”

Mrs. Jiang was confused. “Know what?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “It’s because Jiang Ze arranged to meet Yu Sheng at the wine shop that Yu Sheng got involved with the anti-government poetry case. That’s why the Eagle Guards listed him as a suspect and imprisoned him for interrogation.”
