Yu Niaoniao stayed up all night and finally finished writing the proposal.
She was so sleepy that her eyelids kept falling.
But she couldnât 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.
âPrincess Consort, where did you go last night? Why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?â
Yu Niaoniao subconsciously touched her eyes and said guiltily, âNothing much. Perhaps I didnât sleep well last night.â
At this moment, Xiao Juan walked in.
When he saw Yu Niaoniao, he immediately frowned and asked the same question as Granny Xiu Yan. âWhat did you do last night?â
Yu Niaoniao smiled awkwardly. âHaha, I just didnât sleep well. Iâll just catch up on my sleep later.â
Xiao Juan said, âThen hurry up and catch up on your sleep after youâre done eating. You donât 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.â
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 Yinâs 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.
âSir, you canât go upstairs without an appointment.â
Yu Niaoniao directly reported Zheng Changleâs name.
When the clerk heard the young masterâs 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.
âThereâs no sun or wind or rain in this house. Why are you wearing a bamboo hat? Donât you feel stuffy?â
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.
âOh my god, why are your dark circles so heavy? Did you go out as a thief last night?â
Yu Niaoniao had no choice but to explain again.
âI didnât sleep well last night.â
Zheng Changle clicked his tongue. âTsk, tsk, tsk. You donât look like you didnât 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?â Yu Niaoniao yawned. âI stayed at home last night and didnât go anywhere.â Zheng Changleâs smile became even more ambiguous.
âAiyo, I didnât expect Sister-in-law to be so powerful. She squeezed your body dry.â
Yu Niaoniao coughed lightly. âWatch your manners.â
She was mindful of cracking dirty jokes lest she got investigated.
After chatting about the gossip, Zheng Changle finally got down to business.
âI heard you bought Qirui Opera Troupe?â
There was nothing to hide. Yu Niaoniao admitted frankly.
âThatâs right.â
Zheng Changle leaned over and asked in a low voice, âHow much did it cost?â Yu Niaoniao asked, âWhy are you asking so many questions?â
Zheng Changle chuckled, and two dimples actually appeared on his fair and fat face.
âI know youâre not interested in opera. You bought Qirui Opera Troupe for Prince of Lang, Liaodong.
âWhy donât we do this? No matter how much you pay for Qirui Opera Troupe, Iâll pay 30% more for it.â
âWith this money, you could totally buy a better troupe.â
âIf you really canât, you can still set up your own opera troupe. If you lack people, you can come to me. I have everything here.â
âHow about that? Itâs still a good deal for you.â Yu Niaoniao poured herself a cup of tea.
She took two sips of tea before speaking slowly.
âYoung Master Zheng is so rich. Why must you be so persistent about Qirui Opera Troupe?â
Zheng Changle smiled bitterly.
âItâs not that I have an obsession with Qirui Opera Troupe, but my fatherâs obsession is too deep! He had always wanted to completely defeat Liu Qirui.â âAs long as he could get his hands on Chery Drama Company, Liu Qirui would be completely defeated by my father.â
âThis way, I can fulfill one of my fatherâs long-cherished wishes.â
Yu Niaoniao put down her teacup. âQirui Opera Troupe is already in dire straits. Your father has long been a winner.â Zheng Changle shook his head.
âThese are just appearances.â
âTo people like Liu Qirui and my father, as long as there was a trace of hope, they could not be considered a complete failure.â
âAnd you are Liu Qiruiâs last hope.â
Yu Niaoniao said, âYou want to extinguish Liu Qiruiâs last hope?â
Zheng Changle hurriedly explained.
âDonât misunderstand. I actually admire Liu Qirui very much. I donât have any ill intentions toward him. Even if I bought Qirui Opera Troupe, I wouldnât do anything to him. Iâll feed him well and let him live comfortably.â
Yu Niaoniao asked unhurriedly, âDo you think Liu Qirui can accept this outcome?â
Zheng Changle laughed awkwardly.
âHehe, Iâm discussing it with you. As long as you agree, this matter will be settled. â
âAs for Liu Qirui, he might not be able to accept it for a while.â
âIn the future, he will naturally be able to accept it.â
Yu Niaoniao also smiled.
âThatâs a good thought. Unfortunately, I canât take you up on your offer.â
Zheng Changle was puzzled. âWhy? This business wonât do you any harm.â
Yu Niaoniao said, âAs 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.â
Zheng Changle was even more surprised when he heard her say that.
âYou donât really think Qirui Opera can still make a comeback, do you?â
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..
