134 Betrothal Gift
Today was the day to deliver the betrothal gifts.
Originally, Xiao Juan had planned to let Meng Xizhou bring a matchmaker to deliver the betrothal gift.
However, after hearing Yu Niaoniao’s affectionate confession, he felt that he could not let her down. He changed his mind at the last minute and decided to send the betrothal gift personally.
He handed the matters in the residence to Yu Niaoniao and Granny Xiu Yan to handle while he brought people to the Yu Residence to receive the betrothal gift.
The betrothal gifts prepared by LangJun Imperial Palace were quite generous and attracted the attention of many people along the way.
Xiao Juan sat on the horse’s back and looked straight ahead, still thinking about Yu Niaoniao.
The words she said seemed to linger in his ears for a long time. That sincere and passionate love was something he had never felt before. He felt as if something had filled his chest. He was extremely contented.
Yu Kangtai knew that the people from the Langjun Imperial Palace would send the betrothal gift today. He especially took a day off, put on his new clothes, and waited at home.
Usually, the ones in charge of sending betrothal gifts were the elders in the family.
However, Xiao Juan’s biological mother, Princess Ni Yang, was not in the Imperial Capital, and he was not very close to his other relatives in the capital.
Presumably, he would send his trusted aide to deliver the betrothal gift this time.
However, when Yu Kangtai went out to welcome him, he was stunned to see Duke Lang himself. It was actually the duke himself who had come to deliver the betrothal gift!
Facing Duke Lang’s sharp and cold black eyes, Yu Kangtai’s calves trembled slightly.
He gathered his courage and said, “Why is Duke Lang here personally?”
Xiao Juan said indifferently, “The betrothal gift is not a small matter. I naturally have to come personally.”
He said that to show how much he valued this marriage.
Actually, he was giving the Yu Residence face.
Yu Kangtai also understood this. No matter how afraid he was, he could only brace himself and welcome him.
“Please come in, Your Highness.”
… .
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side.
On the other hand, the rumors were definitely not limited to the servants. There were probably many people in the royal residence who were also gossiping about this matter in private.
If she only dealt with these servants, the rumors would not dissipate. So Yu Niaoniao thought of an idea.
What was the quickest way to dispel rumors? Naturally, it would create more topics to divert the public’s attention!
She asked Granny Xiuyan to gather all the servants in the residence and then asked them to speak up one by one.
There was only one topic to talk about, which was the most explosive gossip they had heard recently. As for whether it was explosive enough, it was all up to Yu Niaoniao.
These servants were usually detained in the residence. What they could see and hear was also what happened in the residence. Therefore, the gossip they could know was also related to the people around them.
At first, they wanted to gossip about nothing and try to muddle through. In the end, Yu Niaoniao gave them a bad review and said that they did not pass. In case they deliberately wasted time, Granny Xiu Yan spoke.
“Each of you only has two chances to speak. If you fail both times, you’ll be beaten up and sold.”
Granny Xiu Yan was deeply trusted by Duke Lang. She spoke with authority.
The servants were immediately afraid.
They didn’t dare go through the motions again. They started racking their brains to think back.
Someone stood up and said, “Mrs. Zhao’s man has an affair with Hongling. I saw them together with my own eyes.”
Mrs. Zhao was clearly shrewish. She immediately grabbed Hong Ling’s hair and scolded her, “I thought there was something wrong with you. So you hooked up with my man!”
A man rushed over and pulled Mrs. Zhao away, telling her to stop fooling around.
Hong Ling hid behind the man and sobbed.
“Sister Zhao, don’t be angry. I’m not here to break you up. I’m here to join you.”
Yu Niaoniao spat out the melon seeds she was eating. This scene was exciting!
