Yu Niaoniao stayed up all night and finally finished writing the proposal.
She was so sleepy that her eyelids kept falling.
But she couldn’t sleep yet.
She still had to go to work in the Justice Department and give this proposal to Wei Liao.
There was no rest day for workers!
Yu Niaoniao walked out of the bedroom with two huge dark circles under her eyes. She kept yawning along the way.
In the dining hall, Granny Xiu Yan had already prepared breakfast.
When she saw Yu Niaoniao, she could not help but be stunned and quickly asked.
“Princess Consort, where did you go last night? Why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?”
Yu Niaoniao subconsciously touched her eyes and said guiltily, “Nothing much. Perhaps I didn’t sleep well last night.”
At this moment, Xiao Juan walked in.
When he saw Yu Niaoniao, he immediately frowned and asked the same question as Granny Xiu Yan. “What did you do last night?”
Yu Niaoniao smiled awkwardly. “Haha, I just didn’t sleep well. I’ll just catch up on my sleep later.”
Xiao Juan said, “Then hurry up and catch up on your sleep after you’re done eating. You don’t have to go to the Justice Department for the next three days. Stay at home and pack your luggage. At the same time, prepare a few birthday gifts for Princess Ni Yang.”
Yu Niaoniao immediately nodded in agreement.
After breakfast, Xiao Juan and Lo Pingsha went to the Justice Department as usual.
Yu Niaoniao did not return to the house to rest.
She pocketed the plan and rode out on the donkey.
She first got someone to send a letter to Wei Liao and asked him to meet her in a private room on the third floor of the Heavenly Oriole Garden. Then, she rode her donkey straight to the Heavenly Oriole Garden.
She remembered the rumors outside. They had spread from the Sky Oriole
Garden. There were too many people in this place to tell who had more mouths.
Initially, she did not want to come here again, but Ye Yin’s matter still needed an outcome, so she had no choice but to come again today.
In order to avoid causing another misunderstanding, Yu Niaoniao specially brought a bamboo hat out this time.
There was a circle of white gauze at the edge of the bamboo hat. The white gauze fell and could cover her face, making it impossible to see her face.
Since she had covered her face, she naturally could not enter the Sky Oriole Garden by showing her face.
However, the tickets to the Heavenly Oriole Garden had long been sold out.
Yu Niaoniao could only grit her teeth and endure the pain of spending a high price to buy a ticket from the scalpers.
Her heart was bleeding when she entered the Sky Oriole Garden with the tickets.
Heavens, this was all money!
She would never come to this godforsaken place again. It was too expensive!
When Yu Niaoniao went upstairs, she was stopped by the waiter.
“Sir, you can’t go upstairs without an appointment.”
Yu Niaoniao directly reported Zheng Changle’s name.
When the clerk heard the young master’s name, he immediately let him in.
Yu Niaoniao went straight to the third floor, pushed open the door, and walked into the private room.
As soon as she sat down, Zheng Changle, the little fatty, ran over.
Seeing that Yu Niaoniao was wearing a bamboo hat, he could not help but ask.
“There’s no sun or wind or rain in this house. Why are you wearing a bamboo hat? Don’t you feel stuffy?”
It was indeed very stuffy to wear a bamboo hat in the house.
It was indeed very stuffy to wear a bamboo hat in the house.
Since there was no one else here, Yu Niaoniao took off her bamboo hat.
Zheng Changle gasped when he saw her face.
“Oh my god, why are your dark circles so heavy? Did you go out as a thief last night?”
Yu Niaoniao had no choice but to explain again.
“I didn’t sleep well last night.’
Zheng Changle clicked his tongue. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. You don’t look like you didn’t sleep well. Instead, you look like your energy has been sucked away by a demoness. Tell me honestly, did you go somewhere to have fun last night?” Yu Niaoniao yawned. “I stayed at home last night and didn’t go anywhere.” Zheng Changle’s smile became even more ambiguous.
“Aiyo, I didn’t expect Sister-in-law to be so powerful. She squeezed your body dry.”
Yu Niaoniao coughed lightly. “Watch your manners.”
She was mindful of cracking dirty jokes lest she got investigated.
After chatting about the gossip, Zheng Changle finally got down to business.
“I heard you bought Qirui Opera Troupe?”
There was nothing to hide. Yu Niaoniao admitted frankly.
“That’s right.”
Zheng Changle leaned over and asked in a low voice, “How much did it cost?” Yu Niaoniao asked, “Why are you asking so many questions?”
Zheng Changle chuckled, and two dimples actually appeared on his fair and fat face.
“I know you’re not interested in opera. You bought Qirui Opera Troupe for Prince of Lang, Liaodong.
“Why don’t we do this? No matter how much you pay for Qirui Opera Troupe, I’ll pay 30% more for it.’
“With this money, you could totally buy a better troupe.”
“If you really can’t, you can still set up your own opera troupe. If you lack people, you can come to me. I have everything here.”
“How about that? It’s still a good deal for you.’ Yu Niaoniao poured herself a cup of tea.
She took two sips of tea before speaking slowly.
“Young Master Zheng is so rich. Why must you be so persistent about Qirui Opera Troupe?”
Zheng Changle smiled bitterly.
“It’s not that I have an obsession with Qirui Opera Troupe, but my father’s obsession is too deep! He had always wanted to completely defeat Liu Qirui.” “As long as he could get his hands on Chery Drama Company, Liu Qirui would be completely defeated by my father.”
“This way, I can fulfill one of my father’s long-cherished wishes.”
Yu Niaoniao put down her teacup. “Qirui Opera Troupe is already in dire straits. Your father has long been a winner.” Zheng Changle shook his head.
“These are just appearances.”
“To people like Liu Qirui and my father, as long as there was a trace of hope, they could not be considered a complete failure.”
“And you are Liu Qirui’s last hope.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “You want to extinguish Liu Qirui’s last hope?”
Zheng Changle hurriedly explained.
“Don’t misunderstand. I actually admire Liu Qirui very much. I don’t have any ill intentions toward him. Even if I bought Qirui Opera Troupe, I wouldn’t do anything to him. I’ll feed him well and let him live comfortably.”
Yu Niaoniao asked unhurriedly, “Do you think Liu Qirui can accept this outcome?”
Zheng Changle laughed awkwardly.
“Hehe, I’m discussing it with you. As long as you agree, this matter will be settled. ”
“As for Liu Qirui, he might not be able to accept it for a while.”
“In the future, he will naturally be able to accept it.”
Yu Niaoniao also smiled.
“That’s a good thought. Unfortunately, I can’t take you up on your offer.”
Zheng Changle was puzzled. “Why? This business won’t do you any harm.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “As a person, I have to be honest. Since I promised Liu Qirui that I would help Qirui Opera Troupe make a comeback, I have to do what I say.”
Zheng Changle was even more surprised when he heard her say that.
“You don’t really think Qirui Opera can still make a comeback, do you?”
Back then, the reason why he introduced Qirui Opera Troupe to Yu Niaoniao was that Liu Qirui was prejudiced against them and refused to sell them the troupe no matter what.
He had no choice but to let Yu Niaoniao appear. He planned to wait for Yu
Niaoniao to buy the opera troupe before increasing the price to buy it from her.
From the beginning to the end, he did not think there was any hope of Qirui Opera Troupe making a comeback..
