Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child - Chapter 210

210 Kind Father and Filial Son

After entering the house, Shen Xu did not forget to thank Yu Niaoniao.

“Cousin-in-law, thank you for letting us in. I’ll remember this favor. If you need anything from me in the future, just ask. I’ll definitely do my best!”

After saying that, he specially patted his chest. The smile on his face was as sincere as it could be.

At this moment, he was like a different person. He had changed from his usual arrogance to especially solicitous and enthusiastic.

!!
Yu Niaoniao could not help but sigh. Survival instincts were really a magical thing!

Xiao Juan looked at the father and son coldly.

“Who are you calling your cousin-in-law?”

Shen Xu hurriedly said, “My father is your uncle, and we’re cousins. Your Princess Consort is naturally my cousin-in-law!”

Xiao Juan sneered. “I don’t see you treating me as a cousin in the past.”

In the past, when Shen Xu saw him, it was as if he had seen a ghost. He wished he could stay three feet away from him and had never admitted their relationship as cousins.

Shen Xu touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. “I was insensible in the past. Don’t take it to heart. I’ll definitely change in the future!”

Xiao Juan could not be bothered to waste his breath on him. He placed the screen in the middle of the room, isolating Prince Min and his son, before walking to the bed.

Yu Niaoniao was really sleepy and had already crawled into bed to sleep. Xiao Juan blew out the oil lamp by the bed and lay down.

There was a rustling sound on the other side of the screen. It must be Prince Min and his father sleeping on the floor.

In a moment, the sounds disappeared. Even the oil lamp on the table was blown out.

The room fell into complete darkness.

Perhaps Prince Min and his father were really tired, they fell asleep quickly.

On the other hand, Xiao Juan, who was sleeping on the bed, could not fall asleep.

In the past, he had been used to sleeping alone. Later, with Niaoniao, he felt quite good.

But now that there were suddenly two outsiders in the room, he didn’t feel too good, especially since his five senses were naturally sharper than ordinary people’s. He could hear very clearly what was almost inaudible to ordinary people.

Xiao Juan lay on the bed and could clearly hear the breathing of the father and son.

The sounds were a constant reminder that there were two outsiders in the room. Even though he knew they were no threat to him, he couldn’t help but stay on guard.

This night was very torturous for Xiao Juan.

The next morning, Yu Niaoniao climbed out of bed and stretched.

She turned around and saw that the man beside her had a dark expression.

Yu Niaoniao quickly retracted her arm.

She asked carefully.

“Baby, did you not sleep well last night?”

Xiao Juan replied coldly, “Yes.”

How could he have slept well? He could not sleep at all!

And all of this was because of Prince Min and his son.

However, the culprits did not feel anything at all. After the father and son woke up, they felt refreshed.

Shen Xu was still smug. “Father, I told you. As long as we stay with Cousin, we’ll definitely be fine.”

Prince Min agreed. “Yes, yes!”

Yu Niaoniao touched Xiao Juan’s face and comforted him.

“Baby, don’t be angry. I have a way to make them stop sticking to us.”

She leaned over and muttered in Xiao Juan’s ear.

After hearing that, Xiao Juan nodded slightly. “Sure.”

Yu Niaoniao quickly put on her clothes, shoes, and socks and walked around the screen.

At this moment, Prince Min and his father were still wearing their outerwear. There were bedding and pillows on the ground that had yet to be tidied up.

When they saw Yu Niaoniao arrive, they greeted her warmly.

“Good morning, Cousin-in-law!”

“Good morning, Niece-in-law!”

To be honest, Yu Niaoniao was really not used to their sudden enthusiasm.

She smiled at father and son. “Good morning. How did you sleep last night?”

They said in unison that it was good.

Yu Niaoniao said, “There’s still a long way to go. You can’t cling to Duke Lang every day, right?”

How could Prince Min not know this? But there was nothing he could do now.

The killers were in the dark. They were in the light.

Now that they were in a very passive situation, they could only stick to Duke Lang if they wanted to continue living.

Yu Niaoniao said, “I have a way to help you temporarily remove the danger, but it requires you to make a small sacrifice. It depends on whether you’re willing?”

Prince Min and his son were immediately interested. They urged her to tell them what method it was.

Yu Niaoniao smiled, two shallow dimples appearing near her lips.

“Think about it. Why did those people deal with you?”

Shen Xu blurted out without thinking, “Of course, it’s because my father is Prince Min.”

“That’s right. Those people dealt with you because of your identities. As long as we change our identities, won’t your danger be resolved?”

Prince Min looked thoughtful. “You mean to swap identities?”

Yu Niaoniao nodded. “That’s right. You and Shen Xu will pretend to be Duke Lang and me. Duke Lang and I will pretend to be you and your son. If anyone wants to harm you along the way, they will come for me and Duke Lang. It would have nothing to do with you.”

Prince Min thought this was a good idea.

When he still looked a little hesitant.

“But if you do, you and Duke Lang will be in danger.”

Yu Niaoniao waved her hand and said indifferently.

“It doesn’t matter. We’re under orders to keep you safe. As long as you’re safe along the way, we’re willing to suffer a little.”

This time, Prince Min was really touched.

“Thank you. In the past, I was blind to misunderstand Duke Lang’s ruthlessness. He is clearly such a good person. If we can arrive at Liaodong County safely, we will definitely reward you heavily!”

Yu Niaoniao did not stand on ceremony. “Then it’s settled.”

In a few words, they finalized the plan to swap identities.

Shen Xu spoke suddenly, “Swapping identities is fine, but I have a question.”

Yu Niaoniao and Prince Min looked at him in unison, indicating that he should speak his mind.

Shen Xu said, “Who will play the role of Duke Lang? Who will play the Princess?”

Prince Min raised his eyebrows and glared.

“Why? Do you want me to act as the Princess Consort? I’m already old, and the wrinkles on my face are like old tree bark. Are you shameless enough to let me wear female clothes?!”

Shen Xu replied softly.

“Yes, I’m shameless. Anyway, I’m not the one wearing it.”

Prince Min was furious. He casually picked up the feather duster in the vase and prepared to perform a brilliant show of filial piety.

Shen Xu was so frightened that he covered his head and fled.

In the end, due to his father’s threat, Shen Xu could only accept reality unwillingly.

Yu Niaoniao placed a set of female clothes in front of him and said with a smile.

“Hurry up and put it on.”

Shen Xu grimaced. “I don’t think this outfit is suitable for me.”

Yu Niaoniao looked him up and down and said seriously, “No, you’re not much taller than me. You should be able to wear it.”

Shen Xu was speechless.

He should never have said that!
