The next day, Ling Miao finally stopped feeling hot.

Lo Pingsha said that her condition had begun to improve and prescribed her another set of medicine.

Ling Hai held the medicine bowl and carefully fed it to his sister.

After drinking the medicine, Ling Miao ate some millet porridge and fell asleep again. Ling Hai covered his sister with the blanket and walked out quietly. Yu Niaoniao was about to visit Ling Miao when she saw Ling Hai come out.

“How’s your sister?”

Ling Hai was filled with gratitude. “She’s much better. Thank you.”

Regardless of whether Duke Lang and Princess Ni Yang were in cahoots, they had saved Ling Miao. Duke Lang and his wife were Ling Hai’s benefactors.

Yu Niaoniao smiled and said, “That’s good. Take good care of Miaomiao. Let us know if you need anything.”

Ling Hai knelt down in front of her.

“I will never forget your kindness. From now on, my life is yours. I will do whatever you ask me to do. Even if I have to climb mountains of blades and dive in seas of flames, I will never retreat! ”

Yu Niaoniao quickly pulled him up.

“Why would I want your life? You should keep your life for taking good care of your sister. We’re still investigating your family. If you have any clues, you can provide them to us.”

Ling Hai quickly said, “Back then, my brother was accused of raping a woman, but he stayed at home on the day of the crime. Our entire family can testify for him. He definitely didn’t go out to commit the crime.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Is there no one else other than your family who can testify for your brother?”

Ling Hai shook his head. “No.”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “Is there really none?”

Ling Hai thought carefully for a long time and suddenly said.

“I remember! That day, my mother arranged to meet the people from Zhang’s Tailor Shop to measure and tailor.”

“Her mother thought about how her eldest sister-in-law had just entered the house and planned to make her two new clothes.”

“That day, my brother had been with Sister-in-law. When Tailor Zhang was measuring Sister-in-law, Brother should also be around.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “In other words, Tailor Zhang should have seen your brother on the day of the crime?”

Ling Hai nodded. “That’s a possibility.” Yu Niaoniao laughed. “This clue you provided is very useful.”

However, Ling Hai was a little uneasy.

“I went to the tailor afterward, wanting him to help testify for my brother. But he insisted that he had never been to my house that day.”

“He even threatened me that if I looked for him again in the future, he would report me to the authorities and get the soldiers to arrest me. “After that, he moved away with his family. I don’t know where he is now.” Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find him.”

She went to find Xiao Juan for breakfast and told him the clues Ling Hai had provided.

Xiao Juan had an idea.

After breakfast, he got someone to go to the county office again and found the household register of Tailor Zhang and the travel pass he used to move out of this place.

Coupled with the memories of the soldiers at the city gate, the Eagle Guards quickly locked onto the direction where Tailor Zhang had left.

Xiao Juan sent two Eagle Guards to continue tracking Tailor Zhang.

Princess Ni Yang’s birthday was imminent, so they could not stay here for long. They had to continue their journey.

Yu Niaoniao was worried about leaving Ling Hai and Ling Miao on their own.

“Do you guys want to come with us?”

Ling Hai was naturally willing.

Although his sister’s condition had improved, she had not completely recovered. It was best if she followed the large convoy. Only then could Physician Lo continue to treat his sister.

Seeing him nod, Yu Niaoniao continued.

“We’re here on a decree to celebrate Princess Ni Yang’s birthday. If you want to follow, it’s best if you disguise yourselves to avoid being recognized.”

When Ling Hai heard the name Princess Ni Yang, he could not help but frown. He did not want to celebrate that bad woman’s birthday!

But for his sister’s sake, he could only suppress his resistance and say obediently.

“We’ll do whatever you want us to do.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Then pretend to be my follower. Your sister will assume the identity of a maidservant. Can you do that?”

Ling Hai nodded in agreement. “Okay!”

When the team set off again, Yu Niaoniao had two servants by her side.

She had specially arranged another carriage for Ling Hai and Ling Miao to ride. This way, it would be easier for Ling Hai to take care of his sick sister.

The convoy moved steadily along the official road.

They passed through a small town on the way and stopped to rest and have lunch.

Yu Niaoniao also jumped out of the carriage. Her head was wrapped in a new gauze scarf.

The thin gauze scarf wrapped her hair and cheeks, keeping away the wind and

sand.

She strode to the restaurant and sat down at the table. She pulled off her veil and ordered all the specialties in their shop with a wave of her small hand.

Wei Liao sat down in the empty seat beside her and asked with a faint smile.

“Why are there two new faces beside you? Where did they come from?”

Yu Niaoniao slapped the veil on the table and said with a fake smile, “Hehe, I bought them casually on the way. Do you Sky Wolf Guards even care about such things?”

Wei Liao said, “I’m just concerned about you. Why are you reacting so strongly? Are you feeling guilty?”

Yu Niaoniao continued to smile fakely. “If there’s nothing else, please walk away. I don’t want to eat at the same table as you. Seeing your face will affect my appetite.”

Wei Liao sat still. “That’s good. You should eat less and lose weight.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I’ll be fat if I want to be fat and thin if I want to be thin. Do I

need you to say anything? Go wherever you want. Don’t disturb my meal.”

As she spoke, she flicked down her veil and made a shooing motion.

Wei Liao looked at the veil in her hand and asked, ‘Where did you get it?”

Yu Niaoniao smiled proudly. “Of course, it was given to me by Duke Lang. Isn’t it beautiful?”

Wei Liao sneered. “So ugly!”

With that, he stood up and sat down at another table.

Yu Niaoniao took a deep breath and told herself not to be angry. The angrier she was, the more excited he got.

The best way to deal with him was to ignore him.

At this moment, Xiao Juan walked in.

He sat down in the empty seat opposite Yu Niaoniao and asked.

“Have you ordered everything?”

Yu Niaoniao nodded. “Yes.”

Xiao Juan said, “I just received news that the princess’s manor will send someone to pick us up. We have to stay here for a day.”

Yu Niaoniao was very curious. “Who will be sent here?”

“Princess Ni Yang’s third Prince Consort, Cheng Qi.”

Yu Niaoniao was stunned. “The third Prince Consort? Could it be that Princess

Ni Yang has married three…”

She didn’t finish the sentence.

She was afraid that Xiao Juan would feel uncomfortable.

However, Xiao Juan did not care about this. He admitted frankly, “Yes, she’s been married a total of three times. The first two consorts have passed away.

My biological father was the second consort.”

Yu Niaoniao clicked her tongue. “Your family situation is quite complicated.” She felt that having two fathers was enough. She did not expect Xiao Juan to have three fathers.

She had lost..
