Although she said that, Yu Niaoniao was still quite worried when night came.

If Wei Liao was really caught, it would only be bad for her.

There was nothing she could do but pray silently for him. She hoped everything would go well for him.

The next morning, after washing up, Yu Niaoniao could not wait to ask Wei Liao about last night.

However, as soon as she entered the door, she was stunned to see him looking like he was about to die.

“What’s wrong with you? Why do you look like you’ve been squeezed dry?”

Wei Liao sat in a chair and said weakly, “Last night, I went to the study to see if there were any useful clues hidden there. In the end, I saw Cheng Qi with two maidservants…’

He couldn’t finish the sentence.

Yu Niaoniao blinked. “Don’t tell me you watched a live erotica?”

Wei Liao’s lips twitched in disdain.

“I was almost blinded.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “You could have left if you didn’t want to see it.”

Speaking of this, Wei Liao felt even more pained.

“Do you think I didn’t want to leave? I was sitting on the beam and they were doing that kind of thing directly under me. I just had to move a little and they’ll discover me.”

Yu Niaoniao gasped. “So you watched all night?”

Wei Liao mocked, “All night? You think too highly of Cheng Qi. He doesn’t have that ability. I waited for them to finish before leaving.”

Yu Niaoniao admired him sincerely.

“Then you’re quite impressive. You actually watched it from beginning to end.”

Wei Liao raised his hand to cover his eyes. “It’s fine if it hurts my eyes, but it’s especially noisy. Those two women seem to be competing with each other in terms of their voices. Each of them shouted louder than the other, making my head buzz. When I came back, I even had a nightmare. My dream was filled with women’s shouts. It was terrifying!”

Listening to his description, an image appeared in Yu Niaoniao’s mind—

Cheng Qi and the two maidservants were doing such shameless things. The three of them were fighting fiercely, and they were very excited. Wei Liao was trapped on the beam, between a rock and a hard place. Images and sounds attacked his fragile nerves at the same time, making him suffer. He was like a pitiful and helpless little white flower being ravaged by a storm.

Yu Niaoniao laughed unkindly.

“Hahaha, to think that you’re the Vice General of the Sky Wolf Guards. You’re actually frightened by such a small scene. You’re too useless!”

Wei Liao retorted angrily.

“You make it sound like you’ve seen this before!”

Yu Niaoniao smiled as she said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this. Did you find anything last night?”

Wei Liao stared at her faintly. “Then can you stop smiling?”

Yu Niaoniao barely suppressed the corners of her mouth. “I’m not smiling.”

Wei Liao took a sip of tea to refresh himself before telling her the results of his investigation last night.

Putting aside those trivial matters, there were only two important things—

Firstly, Princess Ni Yang had the habit of raising ferocious beasts. There was a tiger in the backyard now.

Anyone who made her unhappy would be thrown to the tiger.

Secondly, the relationship between Princess Ni Yang and Prince Consort Cheng Qi was very bad.

Although the two of them were still husband and wife, they had not slept together for a long time. They were only husband and wife in name.

Now, the two of them were playing their own games and did not interfere with each other.

When Yu Niaoniao heard that there was a tiger in the backyard, she immediately recalled Xiao Juan’s previous encounter. When he was young, he was thrown into a cage by Princess Ni Yang to fight ferocious beasts and almost lost his life.

That woman could even be ruthless to her son. She must be even more ruthless to others.

Yu Niaoniao was deep in thought. “Maybe we can use the discord between the couple to use Princess Ni Yang to deal with Cheng Qi.”

Her thoughts coincided with Wei Liao’s.

Wei Liao said, “Princess Ni Yang will return to the residence today. Think of a way to get close to her and get a feel of what shes like. Find out what she likes and hates. Then, you’ll use the right medicine to sow discord between her and Cheng Qi and make them turn against each other.”

Yu Niaoniao nodded, then immediately reacted and asked unhappily.

“Why me?”

Wei Liao spread his hands helplessly. “I have no choice. Who asked you to be Princess Ni Yang’s daughter-in-law? Compared to an unimportant outsider like me, you clearly have an advantage.”

Yu Niaoniao smirked. “Who said you don’t have an advantage? Aren’t you quite good-looking? You can sell your looks to seduce the Eldest Princess.”

Not only was Wei Liao not angry, he even smiled happily.

“So you think I’m good-looking too. Tell me honestly, do you usually peek at me? Don’t be shy to admit it. Everyone loves beauty. I can understand you.”

Yu Niaoniao was furious at his shamelessness.

“Can you be any more shameless?!”

Wei Liao touched his cheek. “How can I bear not to have such a beautiful face?”

Yu Niaoniao could not take it anymore and stood up.

“I can’t be bothered with you!”

With that, she stood up and walked out.

Wei Liao was no longer sleepy.

He picked up the mirror and looked at his face. He looked left and right and said happily.

“You have good taste!”

When it was almost noon, the girl from the princess’s residence came to inform Yu Niaoniao that Princess Ni Yang had returned to the residence.

Yu Niaoniao immediately brought the spring breeze and night rain to welcome them.

When she arrived at the entrance, she realized that Wei Liao was already there. There were also more than a dozen well-dressed men. It was said that they were all gigolos raised by Princess Ni Yang.

She had to admit that Princess Ni Yang’s aesthetic standards were good.

These men were indeed very good-looking. Just looking at them was pleasing to the eye.

Wei Liao noticed Yu Niaoniao’s gaze and said sarcastically.

“Stop looking. Be careful not to be mistaken for having any thoughts about Princess Ni Yang’s gigolos.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Isn’t that what you said? Everyone loves beauty. I just want to admire something beautiful. Is that wrong?”

Wei Liao glanced at the group of gigolos. He didn’t think there was anything to see in these men who relied on women.

He could defeat ten such weak gigolos at once.

Cheng Qi was the last to arrive.

He must have just put on his clothes. The creases at the hem had not been smoothed out yet. The corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and his face was tired. From time to time, he would yawn.

One look at him and one would know that he had overindulged last night.

Those gigolos bowed to him.

Cheng Qi did not care at all about the wild men raised by his wife.

He asked lazily.

“Is she not here yet?”

The female official replied respectfully, “Her Highness’s carriage will be here soon.”

Cheng Qi yawned again and muttered softly, “If I had known she wasn’t here yet, I would have slept a little longer.”

The official pretended not to hear anything.

A moment later, Princess Ni Yang’s honor guard finally arrived..
