At the tea table, Yu Niaoniao and Shen Zhuo sat side by side. Yu Kangtai sat opposite them.

Shen Zhuo reached for the teapot and poured tea into a cup.

He pushed the first cup of hot tea in front of Yu Niaoniao.

“This tea has a calming effect. Drink some. You can have a good night’s sleep.” Yu Niaoniao picked up her teacup in silence and took a token sip.

Yu Kangtai watched their interaction and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Actually, when they were sent to this courtyard, someone had already explained the situation to Yu Kangtai.

Yu Kangtai, who had just found out the truth, was naturally shocked. He even suspected that he was dreaming. Otherwise, why would there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?

But now that the Crown Prince was sitting in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.

Shen Zhuo finished his tea and gently put down his teacup.

“I know you must have a lot to talk about. Coincidentally, I have something to do. Take your time.”

With that, he stood up and left the tea room.

As soon as he left, Yu Kangtai asked impatiently.

“Niaoniao, what’s going on between you and the Crown Prince? Don’t forget that you’re a married woman now. You can’t do anything against the rules!”

Yu Niaoniao said expressionlessly, “I have nothing to do with the Crown Prince.”

Yu Kangtai was unconvinced. “Really?”

He had been there before, so he could naturally tell that the Crown Prince’s attitude towards Niaoniao was very unusual.

Yu Niaoniao did not want to say this. She forcefully changed the topic.

“Are Yu Sheng and Pingping okay?”

“They’re all fine.”

Speaking of this, Yu Kangtai could not help but feel a lingering fear.

“Initially, I heard from Duke Lang that there was a change in the palace and he wanted us to leave the Imperial Capital quickly. I didn’t expect it to be true.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince sent someone to take us away in time. Otherwise, we would probably be dead now.”

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly asked, “You saw Duke Lang?”

Yu Kangtai answered truthfully, “No, Ah Sheng and Pingping met Duke Lang. He came to our house this morning, but he left not long after. I was attending the birthday banquet in the palace at that time and did not meet him.” Yu Niaoniao pursed her lips, as her heart was filled with worry.

Xiao Juan had indeed returned.

What an idiot!

He had come back knowing that he would put himself in danger.

Yu Kangtai was also worried.

However, what he was worried about was completely different from Niaoniao.

He looked at his daughter in front of him and spoke sternly.

“Do you know how much trouble you caused today? You made the Empress Dowager vomit blood and turned the entire palace upside down. Even our family was almost implicated by you!”

Yu Niaoniao lowered her eyes. “I’m sorry.”

She did not think she had done anything wrong, but she had indeed almost implicated the rest of the Yu family. She felt guilty for not thinking it through carefully.

Seeing that she was admitting her mistake with a good attitude, Yu Kangtai softened his tone slightly.

“It’s good that you know your mistake. Don’t do such a stupid thing again. Now that Deng Yuchuan is dead, this matter is over. Forget about the past.”

Yu Niaoniao looked up at him quietly.

Yu Kangtai felt uncomfortable under her gaze.

He touched his cheek. “Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Does Father think I did something wrong too?”

Yu Kangtai said without hesitation, “Of course you were wrong! It’s simply a huge mistake. It’s ridiculously wrong! Since ancient times, no woman has been as bold as you. You actually dared to cause a scene at the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet. Do you know that the Dayan Dynasty almost had a war because of your willfulness!”

Yu Niaoniao was silent for a long time before saying those words.

“My mother and stepfather died in vain. I want justice for them.”

Yu Kangtai said, “They’re already dead. The dead can’t be revived! So what if you get justice? Don’t be too naive!”

Yu Niaoniao looked at him in a daze. “But that’s my biological mother and your former wife.”

It didn’t matter if others didn’t understand her, but why didn’t her father understand her either?

Could it be that he really had no feelings for Madam Xie at all?

Yu Kangtai subconsciously avoided her gaze.

“Niaoniao, you can’t live in the past forever. You have to look forward.”

Yu Niaoniao’s eyes turned red. “I can’t do it. They’re my closest relatives. I’ll never forget how they died.”

Yu Kangtai could not take it anymore. He slapped the tea table and reprimanded sternly.

“Yu Niaoniao, wake up! They’re already dead! Are you going to ignore our lives for two dead people?!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “But they’re my mother and father…”

Yu Kangtai roared angrily, “I’m your father! Feng Lianghan is just your stepfather. He’s just an outsider. We’re the family connected by blood. You should really care about us!”

Yu Niaoniao slowly shook her head. “No, in my heart, Feng Lianghan is the real father.”

Yu Kangtai was stunned.

He thought he had misheard and could not help but ask.

“What did you say?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Although I’m not Feng Lianghan’s biological child, he treats me as his own. He gave me all his fatherly love. In order to protect me, he and Mother even sacrificed their lives. In my heart, he’s the greatest father in the world.”

Yu Kangtai looked at her as if she were crazy.

“Do you know what you’re talking about?”

Yu Niaoniao did not answer the question. “I don’t think I did anything wrong. If

I could do it all over again, I would still choose to expose the truth.”

Yu Kangtai pointed at her and muttered, “Crazy. You’re really crazy.”

Yu Niaoniao said stubbornly, “Just pretend I’m crazy.”

Yu Kangtai was angry and hateful. He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would not be able to help but slap this unfilial daughter twice.

He suppressed his anger and stood up.

“If the Crown Prince hadn’t sent someone to take us away, your siblings and I would have been dead by now. If that was the case, do you think you’re wrong?” Yu Niaoniao was silent.

Yu Kangtai said, “You only see the dead in your eyes, but you don’t think about us, the living people, at all. With a cold-blooded and heartless daughter like you, I might as well not have one.”

With that, he left with a dark expression.

When he reached the door, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

“Mother was pregnant before she died.”

Yu Kangtai stopped.

Yu Niaoniao said, “She was burned alive with a child. I often think about how much Dain she was and how indignant she was before she died.”

Yu Kangtai did not turn around.

Yu Niaoniao said, “You can forget her, but I can’t.”

Yu Kangtai left.

In the end, only Yu Niaoniao was left in the quiet tea room.

She looked at the cold tea in front of her and suddenly felt lonelier than ever.

Everyone felt that she had done something wrong.

Even her biological father was not on her side.

Was she really wrong?

Should she pretend like everyone else that nothing had happened?
