Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zheng Changle did not understand why Yu Niaoniao insisted on using this script, but the other party clearly did not want to say much, so he tactfully did not ask further.
The two of them prepared to get up and leave.
Yu Niaoniao’s heart skipped a beat as she suddenly asked.
“Do you know any way to make people happy?
Recently, Xiao Juan had always been cold to her. She had to think of a way to coax him.
But she had tried everything she could, and none of them had worked.
She could only learn from others.
The people from the Justice Department and the Langjun Imperial Palace were too familiar with one another. If she asked them, this matter would immediately reach Xiao Juan’s ears.
Zheng Changle was a very good research subject.
He was a man like Xiao Juan and should know what men were thinking. Moreover, he did not know Xiao Juan and would definitely not tell him about this.
Zheng Changle was puzzled by her sudden question.
“Why are you asking? Are you going to coax someone?”
Yu Niaoniao chuckled. “I was just asking.”
Zheng Changle said, “There are many ways to coax people. This has to be adjusted according to the actual situation. Are you coaxing a man or a woman? Is he old or young? What does he like?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Male, older than me. His preference is… work?”
Zheng Changle was speechless. “Can work be considered a hobby?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Everyone has different preferences.”
Zheng Changle said, “From your description, this person must be very boring and old-fashioned. There are no emotions in his daily life. He’s as hard as a block of wood.’
Yu Niaoniao nodded frantically.
“Yes, yes!”
Zheng Changle said, “The best way to deal with such a person is to pester him and think of a way to make him notice you. You can use extreme methods when necessary.”
Yu Niaoniao asked humbly, “What method?”
Zheng Changle chuckled and said ambiguously, “Men definitely can’t escape two things. Wine and sex. Bring him to a brothel later and find him a beautiful girl. It will only take one night to coax him.”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
Shut up!
Zheng Changle was not reliable at all.
Yu Niaoniao decided to end this research.
When the two of them walked out of the private room, they immediately saw Wei Liao standing with his back against the wall.
Wei Liao crossed his arms and turned to look at the two of them with a smile.
“What a coincidence.”
Yu Niaoniao exposed him mercilessly.
“What coincidence? You were clearly standing here deliberately to eavesdrop!”
Wei Liao’s smile widened. “You guessed it.”‘
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
‘What do you mean, she guessed?’
Seeing how fearless he was, he had never thought of hiding it! Yu Niaoniao complained, “Can you be any more arrogant?”
Wei Liao turned around and stood up slightly. “That’s right. I was eavesdropping here. Is that arrogant enough?”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
At this moment, only a curse could express her feelings.
Seeing the two of them bicker, Zheng Changle could not help but sigh.
“You must have a good relationship in private.”
Yu Niaoniao said solemnly, “I suggest you go back and eat more dragon eyes (longans).”
Zheng Changle did not understand. “Why?” “To make up for your poor eyesight and judgment.”
With that, she turned around and left.
Wei Liao followed. When he passed Zheng Changle, he saw that Zheng Changle was still confused and casually explained.
“She’s asking you to nourish your eyes before you go blind again.”
Only then did Zheng Changle react.
However, before he could argue for himself, Yu Niaoniao and Wei Liao had already walked away.
The mission to the Heavenly Oriole Garden today had been completed. Yu Niaoniao prepared to leave.
She heard footsteps behind her and turned around. When she saw Wei Liao following her, she immediately went on guard.
“Are you following me?”
Wei Liao was speechless. “How am I following you? I’m looking for you openly.”
Yu Niaoniao asked, “What can you want from me?”
Wei Liao said, “I heard everything you said to Little Fatty Zheng just now.”
Yu Niaoniao was stunned for a moment before realizing that the Little Fatty Zheng he was talking about was Zheng Changle.
She was speechless.
“It’s fine if you eavesdropped, but you actually came specially to tell me about this. What do you want to do? Are you trying to show off your ability to eavesdrop?”
Wei Liao ignored her sarcasm and asked directly.
“Did you want to set up Duke Lang’s matter as a play for the stage? You want to use this to refresh the bad impression of Duke Lang in the hearts of the commoners?”
Just two simple sentences exposed Yu Niaoniao’s thoughts.
She snorted. “What business is it of yours?”‘
Wei Liao continued, “Does Duke Lang know about this?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t you think you’re asking a lot of questions?”
Wei Liao smiled.
“You didn’t answer me directly, which means Duke Lang doesn’t know about this. This is all your wishful thinking.”
The words wishful thinking sounded harsh.
Yu Niaoniao said angrily, “So what if it’s my wishful thinking? If I’m willing, what can you do?!”
Wei Liao really had no need to interfere.
He did not get along with Duke Lang, to begin with. Whether Duke Lang lived or died had nothing to do with him.
However, facing Yu Niaoniao now, he seemed to be possessed. His mouth opened and closed uncontrollably, saying all the things he should and should not say.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you. The reason why the emperor established the
Justice Department and placed Duke Lang in an important position was to train
Duke Lang into the sharpest knife in his hand.”
“What was a knife? It was a weapon to kill. You couldn’t have selfish desires.”
“The emperor would definitely be wary when he used him.”
“Why do you think not many people know about what Duke Lang did?”
“Because Duke Lang was just a knife. The knife doesn’t need a reputation. He just needs to do what he has to do.”
Yu Niaoniao was stunned.
She murmured, “But he’s not a knife. He’s a person.”
Wei Liao smiled and said coldly, “So what? Who cares?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I care.”
It was Wei Liao’s turn to be stunned.
Yu Niaoniao said seriously, “I don’t want him to live in a dark world forever. I want everyone to know how good he is. I hope he gets more kindness.” If Xiao Juan was a knife in the emperor’s hand, she was a knife in Xiao Juan’s hand.
She would help him break through the dark clouds and let the sun shine on him.
Wei Liao chuckled again.
This time, the laughter revealed an indescribable complicated emotion.
“You’re too naive.”
Yu Niaoniao pursed her lips. She knew that this guy was indirectly calling her stupid.
Wei Liao said, “You specially used Master Wang’s pen name to publish the book and even sold those pillows and bookmarks yourself to earn money to rehearse, right? Do you know that you’ve done so much for Duke Lang?” Yu Niaoniao complained, “You really have so many questions today..”
