Chapter 343: How Interesting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Yu Niaoniao saw Wei Liao, she secretly felt unlucky. She had not looked at the almanac when she went out today. Why did she bump into him?!
She prepared to slip away before anyone noticed her.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached the door, she saw Wei Liao pick up the shopkeeper.
The poor shopkeeper was weak and could only struggle desperately to call for help. His face was red with anxiety.
Everyone in the bookstore was very indignant, but they did not dare to act rashly because of the power of the Sky Wolf Guards.
In the end, Yu Niaoniao could not stand it anymore.
She pushed past the person standing in front of her and strode out.
“Stop it!”
Everyone looked at her and saw that she was a delicate and beautiful little beauty. They could not help but worry for her.
Who knew how many days such a beautiful young lady would live if she fell into Wei Liao’s hands?
When Wei Liao saw Yu Niaoniao, he was clearly stunned. Then, he curled his lips and revealed a malicious smile.
“I was wondering who it was. So it’s the Princess Consort of Lang County! Why are you here today?”
When everyone heard his words, they realized that the young lady in front of them was actually the Princess Consort of Lang County!
They had thought that she was an enchanting vixen, but they did not expect her to look quite cute in person.
This should be what everyone often said about not judging a book by its cover, right?
Yu Niaoniao said, “I didn’t expect my luck to be so bad. It wasn’t easy for me to go out, but I happened to bump into you.”
Wei Liao said, “How could I dare compare to that person in your family? He’s the unparalleled fiend.”
Yu Niaoniao’s lips twitched into a fake smile.
“Then I was wrong. You’re not a jinx. You’re a retard. An unprecedented and unparalleled great retard.”
Wei Liao didn’t know what she meant by retard, but from her sarcastic attitude, he could guess that it was definitely not a good thing.
“How interesting.”
He loosened his fingers as he spoke.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore felt as if he had been pardoned. He almost scrambled behind the counter, not daring to appear again.
Wei Liao walked towards Yu Niaoniao.
“As the saying goes, a chance encounter is better than a treat. It’s fate that we met here. Why don’t I treat you to a cup of tea?”
Yu Niaoniao refused without hesitation. “Thank you, but no. I’m allergic to tea.”
Wei Liao raised his eyebrows. “Allergies?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “It’s a special symptom. It’s usually fine, but as long as I drink tea, I’ll have rashes all over my body. It’s itchy and painful.”
Wei Liao said, “Then let’s not drink tea. Let’s drink wine.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Thank you. I’m allergic to wine too.”
Wei Liao said, “Then drink plain water.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I’m also allergic to water.”
Wei Liao asked, “What are you not allergic to?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “As long as I’m with you, I’m allergic to anything.”
Wei Liao deliberately looked enlightened.
“So I’m the one who really makes you allergic!”
Yu Niaoniao applauded. “You’re so smart. Since you already know the answer, please stay away from me.”
Wei Liao chuckled. “You were the one who insisted on jumping out to attract my attention. Why are you pretending to be noble now? Do you women like to play hard to get?”
Yu Niaoniao could not help but rub her arms.
What kind of lousy line was that? Why did she feel like she had accidentally entered an urban melodrama?
She really had goosebumps!
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that everyone was watching the commotion. Those glowing eyes and the faint expression of anticipation were indescribable.
Yu Niaoniao was very worried that the headline in the Imperial Capital tomorrow morning would be:
Shocking! The Princess Consort of Lang County actually cheated and flirted with the Vice General of the Sky Wolf Guards in public. Was this the loss of morals? Or the destruction of human nature?!
It seemed that they could not stay here for long. Yu Niaoniao immediately shouted.
“Little Meng!”
When Meng Xizhou, who was outside the door, heard the shout, he immediately put down the bags in his hand and rushed into the bookstore like lightning.
He stood in front of Yu Niaoniao and used his body to block Wei Liao’s gaze.
“Vice General Wei, the Princess Consort has already said that she doesn’t want you to appear in front of her. Please respect yourself!”
Wei Liao’s smile faded. “So the Princess Consort has Eagle Guards with her.”
When everyone in the bookstore heard the word Eagle Guard, they immediately retreated as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, their faces filled with fear.
Compared to the recently established Sky Wolf Guards, ordinary people were still more afraid of the Eagle Guards.
In their opinion, the Eagle Guards were like evil spirits that ate people without leaving behind their bones. As long as they encountered them, nothing good would happen!
Meng Xizhou was already used to everyone’s prejudice against the Eagle Guards.
He didn’t even look at the people around him. His eyes were fixed on Wei Liao, in case Wei Liao wanted to harm the Princess Consort.
Yu Niaoniao did not like the way everyone looked at Meng Xizhou.
Because many people had also looked at Xiao Juan with the same gaze.
Coincidentally, the rain outside had stopped. Yu Niaoniao did not want to stay here any longer. She said to Meng Xizhou.
“Let’s go back.”
The two of them walked out of the bookstore and returned to Langjun Imperial Mansion.
Wei Liao watched them leave with a playful expression.
After they were gone, Wei Liao looked away. He knocked on the counter and
spoke to the shopkeeper hiding under it.
“I’ll give you one last chance. If I don’t see Master Wang’s new book in three days, your bookstore will close.”
The shopkeeper of the bookstore hurriedly replied.
“Thank you, Young Master Wei! I’ll definitely think of a way to get you Master Wang’s new book.”
In fact, he did not know Master Wang at the Village Entrance at all, let alone know where to get a new book.
He was only saying this to stall for time. He would comfort Wei Liao first, then pack up and leave the Imperial Capital with his family to hide. Wei Liao sneered. “If you dare lie to me, I’ll let you die without a burial place.” With that, he left the bookstore with the Sky Wolf Guards.
When Yu Niaoniao returned to the Langjun Imperial Palace, she was no longer angry.
However, Meng Xizhou was still angry.
“By saying those words to you in public, Wei Liao was clearly deliberately making things difficult for you. Who does he think he is? He’s just an adopted son of a eunuch. What right does he have to treat you like this?! ”
Yu Niaoniao got someone to put away the things she had bought and did not forget to remind him.
“It’s fine if you say these things here, but don’t talk nonsense outside. Be careful not to cause trouble.”
Although Wei Huai’en was a eunuch, he was one of the emperor’s most trusted people. His influence was not small. It would not be good to offend him.
Meng Xizhou chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’m not stupid. I only dared to say what I was thinking in front of you and His Highness. If there were outsiders present, I wouldn’t dare to say a word.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Alright, there’s nothing for you to do here. Go back to the Justice Department first.”
“Okay..”
