Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child

Chapter 12



Chapter 12: Purchase

Dang Gui looked around and did not see Yu Sheng in the crowd.

“You’re not mistaken, are you, miss?”

Yu Niaoniao believed that she could not be wrong.

She shook her head. “Never mind.”

Anyway, he was gone. There was no need to dwell on it.

They quickly put the episode out of their minds and continued to eat and drink happily.

After eating and drinking their fill, Yu Qianqian brought Dang Gui to the blacksmith shop. 2

Yu Niaoniao spent a lot of money to order a kitchen knife and an iron pot from the blacksmith.

As a time-traveler, her greatest grudge for having transmigrated to this era was the backward cooking method. 1

In the Dayan Dynasty, iron and metal were strictly controlled by the imperial court. As a result, ordinary people could only use tools like pots and pans to cook. The cooking method was mostly stewing, steaming, and roasting. Only a few aristocratic families used iron pots to cook.

Yu Niaoniao had had enough of stew. She desperately needed an iron pot to improve her diet.

Previously, she had no money and could not afford an iron pot. Now that she had a huge sum of 250 taels, it was not a problem for her to buy an iron pot!

The blacksmith accepted the deposit and asked them to collect the goods in three days.

They sold everything in West City. There was also an area dedicated to buying and selling livestock. Yu Niaoniao brought Dang Gui in and strolled around.

When they came out, it was as though they had a great harvest. Dang Gui had a duck in her left hand and a chicken in her right. There was also a little suckling pig in the basket behind her. Yu Niaoniao was holding a donkey. 1

She asked if Dang Gui was tired.

Dang Gui raised her head and puffed out her chest. “I’m not tired at all!”

As long as she thought about how these chickens, ducks, and pigs would eventually become fragrant delicacies, she would be filled with energy and wish for a few more pigs!

There was definitely no way the two of them could crawl through the dog hole with so much stuff.

They could only go back through the back door.

When the butler saw the things they brought back, he was dumbfounded.

“Miss, why did you get these things back?”

Yu Niaoniao said with a smile.

“This is the dowry I prepared for myself.” 1

The butler suspected he had misheard. “A dowry?”

“Aren’t I getting married to Prince Lang next month? You have to have a dowry when you get married. I specially went out to buy so many things. Look at this chicken and duck, how fat they are! And this pig, although it’s a little small, it can be raised. It can be fattened very quickly.” 1

As she spoke, she walked back toward Green Jade Residence.

The butler hurriedly stopped her. “Miss, you can’t bring these back!”

It was not that the Yu Residence had not bought poultry and livestock before, but those were sent directly to the kitchen to be slaughtered. No one had ever brought a lively poultry to the backyard. It was clearly against the rules for Eldest Miss to do so.

Besides, which rich young lady used these things as dowry? If word got out, people would laugh to death!

Yu Niaoniao cocked her head at him. “Why not?”

The butler couldn’t say it clearly, so he could only try to find a reason. “These things are all alive. They need someone to take care of them.”

Dang Gui immediately volunteered, “I can take care of them!”

The butler glared at her. Why was this person so blind?!

Yu Nianiao said, “Look, Dang Gui can take care of them. You don’t have to worry.” 1

The butler was furious.

Was he worried about these livestock? He did not want a good mansion to become a breeding ground! 1

The butler had no choice but to get someone to invite Madam over. When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her heart skipped a beat. As luck would have it, Yu Kangtai returned at that moment.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard about Yu Niaoniao and was immediately furious. He did not even have time to change out of his official uniform before he rushed to the Green Jade Residence angrily. 1
