Chapter 80
80 Hidden Merit and Name
After breakfast, Yu Niaoniao walked into the courtyard and stretched against the sunny sky.
It felt so good to eat and sleep!
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Granny Xiuyan.
Seeing that Granny Xiu Yan wanted to say something but hesitated, Yu Niaoniao took the initiative to ask.
“What can I do for you?”
Granny Xiuyan smiled shyly. “I have something to ask you for help. I wonder if you’re free now?”
Yu Niaoniao gestured for her to tell her.
Granny Xiu Yan said, “Duke Lang went out before dawn today and hasn’t returned yet. He hasn’t even eaten breakfast. As you know, the Regional King has stomach problems and has to take medicine on time. He has to take three meals a day as much as possible, so I want to ask you to help deliver medicine and breakfast to him.”
Yu Niaoniao agreed without hesitation.
“I’d like that!”
Duke Lang had kindly taken her in, so she had to repay him.
Granny Xiu Yan was overjoyed. “Thank you so much!”
She took out the food box she had prepared.
“The medicine and breakfast are in here. I guess Duke Langis in the Justice Department now. You can go straight to the Justice Department to look for him.”
Yu Niaoniao took the food box. “Then I’ll set off now.”
Dang Gui wanted to follow, but she was rejected by Yu Niaoniao.
“I’ll be back soon. You can stay here. You don’t have to follow me back and forth.”
Dang Gui looked at her eagerly. “Then come back early.”
Granny Xiu Yan sent Yu Niaoniao out of Langjun Imperial Palace.
After the carriage left, Granny Xiu Yan turned around and returned to the residence.
She straightened her sleeves.
She had a temperament of hiding her achievements and fame.
Your Highness, this is all I can do for you.
… .
The carriage moved steadily down the street.
Yu Niaoniao pulled up the bamboo curtain and looked out the car window.
This area was inhabited by royal relatives, so the streets were especially spacious and clean. The mansions on both sides of the road were also built in an imposing manner. From the looks of it, they really wanted to write the words “I’m very noble and you’re not worthy” on the door.
When the carriage entered the downtown area, the surrounding shops gradually increased, and the streets became more and more crowded. Most of them were dressed brightly.
As far as the eye could see, it was really a prosperous scene!
Just as Yu Niaoniao was sighing in her heart, she heard a commotion ahead.
Someone seemed to be crying.
The cry was exceptionally shrill and sharp, attracting Yu Niaoniao’s attention.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a book shop in front. Many onlookers had already gathered at the door of the book shop.
The crying came from the bookstore.
When the carriage approached the book shop, Yu Niaoniao saw clearly that there were four Eagle Guards standing at the innermost part of the crowd.
They blocked the door of the bookstore tightly, preventing outsiders from entering.
The citizens discussed quietly.
“Why did the Eagle Guards move all their books away?”
“That’s right. These are all the assets of the shopkeeper. If we empty them all at once, wouldn’t it be equivalent to killing the shopkeeper?”
“From the looks of it, the Eagle Guards aren’t just moving the books. They’re going to capture the shopkeeper and his family.”
“Listen, the shopkeeper and his wife are crying so badly!”
“The Eagle Guards are not human. Sooner or later, they will suffer retribution!”
.
Probably afraid of being overheard by the Eagle Guards, the chatter behind them grew softer, almost inaudible.
Yu Niaoniao placed her hands on the carriage window and craned her neck to look into the bookstore.
She saw baskets of books being carried out and loaded onto the carriage the Eagle Guards had brought.
In the end, even the shopkeeper’s family was dragged out and stuffed into the carriage. They were all taken away.
