Creak—

It was the door being pushed open.

Yu Niaoniao thought it was Shen Zhuo. She lowered her head and wiped her tears. “Can you leave me alone for a while?”

Footsteps approached slowly, and a hand rested gently on her shoulder.

“Niaoniao, it’s me.”

The familiar voice made Yu Niaoniao’s heart flutter.

She looked up sharply at the man standing in front of her, her eyes wide and round. She exclaimed in disbelief.

“Ah Juan! ”

Xiao Juan raised his right hand and placed his index finger to his lips, shushing her. “Shh, lower your voice.”

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly stood up and threw herself into his arms.

She hugged his waist tightly and pressed her face against his chest, like a tired bird returning to its nest, greedily absorbing the warmth of his body.

She had never needed him as desperately as she did now.

Xiao Juan did not say anything and hugged her quietly.

After a long time, Yu Niaoniao found her senses.

She took a small step back and lowered her voice. “How did you find this place?”

The Crown Prince’s whereabouts were not especially secretive. It did not take Xiao Juan much effort to discover this place.

He took Yu Niaoniao’s hand and whispered, “It’s a long story. Let’s get out of here first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”

Yu Niaoniao was worried. “This is Shen Zhuo’s territory. Can we leave?” With her understanding of Shen Zhuo, if he discovered Xiao Juan, he would

“Don’t worry, I’m here.”

This simple sentence was like a calming pill to Yu Niaoniao, making her heart calm down.

She held Xiao Juan’s hand tightly.

“Okay!”

After experiencing so much, Yu Niaoniao had completely lost hope in the hearts of people. Now, the only person she could still trust and rely on was Xiao Juan.

Yu Niaoniao had already memorized the terrain of this courtyard.

She was in charge of pointing the way, and Xiao Juan was in charge of protecting her.

The two of them carefully avoided the patrolling guards. If they really could not avoid them, Xiao Juan would knock them out.

Just like that, they successfully escaped the courtyard.

Although it was already night, there was still some time before curfew. There were still vendors setting up stalls on the street. The shops on both sides were still open and looked very lively.

It had been a long time since Yu Niaoniao had felt such vigor. She was still in a daze as Xiao Juan led her forward.

“Did we really escape? That was too easy.”

Xiao Juan looked back at her.

Under the lights, his face looked exceptionally gentle.

“Now we’re free.”

For some reason, Yu Niaoniao still felt a little uneasy. “Shen Zhuo will soon find out that I’m gone. At that time, he will definitely send people to look for us everywhere. Let’s leave the city as soon as possible.”

Xiao Juan said, “The city gate is closed now. Let’s stay in the city for the night and leave tomorrow morning. ”

Although Yu Niaoniao was uneasy, she had no better way. She could only nod in agreement.

She originally thought that they were going to stay in an inn, but she did not expect Xiao Juan to bring her to the door of a courtyard.

Under the hazy moonlight, Yu Niaoniao saw two words written on the plaque above the door. Pan Residence.

Xiao Juan went forward and knocked on the door. Soon, someone ran to open it.

When she entered the courtyard and saw Pan Dafu’s fair and fat face, Yu Niaoniao realized that this was actually Pan Dafu’s house.

Pan Dafu and his family were very enthusiastic.

Not only did they prepare sumptuous food and wine, but they also tidied up the best room in the house for the two of them to stay.

The night deepened.

The Pan family was asleep, and the residence became very quiet.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan lay on the bed.

Xiao Juan told her how he had found her from beginning to end.

When Yu Niaoniao heard this, she was both touched and angry.

She buried her head in Xiao Juan’s arms and complained softly.

“I told you not to come back. Why did you run back here stupidly? Do you know how dangerous it is to do this?”

Xiao Juan hugged her and whispered, “I can’t leave you alone.”

Yu Niaoniao hugged his waist tightly, like a drowning person hugging a life-saving piece of driftwood; she was unwilling to let go for a moment.

Although she was angry at Xiao Juan for running back despite the danger, she was actually very glad.

Fortunately, he came to her at that moment.

Otherwise, she would really have to give up struggling and let herself fall into the abyss, becoming a numb puppet controlled by Shen Zhuo.

Without realizing it, Yu Niaoniao closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In her dream, she returned to the Feng family’s old residence.

Madam Xie and Feng Lianghan risked their lives to send her out.

She was lucky enough to escape, but Madam Xie and Feng Lianghan were left in the sea of fire.

In the monstrous firelight, she could vaguely see twisted figures.

Yu Niaoniao wanted to rush over to save them.

However, when she rushed into the sea of fire, she saw Yu Kangtai, Yu Sheng, and Yu Pingping.

They were covered in blood and struggled to crawl towards Yu Niaoniao, shouting in pain.

“Niaoniao, save us!”

“Niaoniao, we’re also your family. Why did you kill us?”

“Niaoniao, why are you so selfish?!”

“No, I didn’t. I didn’t!”

Yu Niaoniao woke up from her dream with a shout.

Xiao Juan, who was beside her, immediately woke up. He hugged Yu Niaoniao and asked.

“Did you have a nightmare?”

Yu Niaoniao looked at the top of the bed with wide eyes. At this moment, she already knew that she was dreaming. Those were all fake, but her body was still trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Juan hugged her tighter. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

After a long time, Yu Niaoniao spoke with difficulty.

“I really want to seek justice for Mother and my stepfather, but everyone thinks I did something wrong. They accused me of destroying the stability of the world for my own selfish desires.”

“If one is dead, there is nothing left. I shouldn’t drag everyone down with me for the sake of two dead people.”

“Ah Juan, did I really do something wrong? Was I really too selfish?”

Toward the end, her voice had already become choked. Warm hot water rolled down, wetting Xiao Juan’s clothes.

There were no lights on in the house, so the light was very dim.

Xiao Juan could not see Niaoniao’s expression clearly, but he could clearly feel that the woman in his arms was on the verge of breaking down.

Her revenge plan, which she had prepared with all her might, ended in failure.

Deng Yuchuan, the only one who had stood on the same side as her, died tragically.

The evidence was destroyed.

Nobody would believe what she said.

Even her biological father thought she had done something wrong.

She was like a traveler who had trekked a thousand miles on a long snovvy night. There was darkness ahead. The cold and loneliness kept gnawing at her body and mind, making her more and more tired.

She really couldn’t take it anymore.

Xiao Juan gently stroked her back and whispered in her ear.

“Niaoniao, you’re not wrong.”

His voice was soft, but his tone was extremely firm.

“It’s this ruthless world that’s wrong..”
