Chapter 977 Xu Da's Death

Xu Da's words brought Lin Yuesha great comfort.

Through this incident, Xu Da matured and at least learned to consider the feelings of others.

Indeed, Uya was already married, and as the one whose engagement had been broken off, it was clearly inappropriate to give a woman a personal item.

"Uya has no shortage of gold and silver, so why don't you send her something fun instead?"

Gather something fun and novel to send over; it's polite, not inappropriate, and it also expresses your feelings and apologies.

"Something fun? How about this?"

Xu Da took out his purse, pulled out a small fox fur plug, and said with a smile, "Give this to Wuya, along with a Ferghana horse."

The ponies of Sishui City are absolutely exceptional. Xu Da has already sent a message to Qi Heng, asking him to help find a fine horse.

Uya loves riding horses, so giving her a horse is a perfect way to satisfy her taste.

It doesn't matter who she marries, as long as Uya is happy.

Lin Yuesha's face turned red and white as she saw the small plug being played with by Xu Da, which was very strange.

Actually, when Xu Da took it out last time, he was interrupted by Luo Wang. Lin Yuesha hadn't realized what it meant yet, but she remembered this detail and felt that given Luo Wang's character, there must be a deeper meaning behind this move.

Yesterday, while chatting with Wu Bailu, we mentioned that Qiubai Pavilion was constantly collecting the finest fox fur to use for entertainment. Lin Yuesha suddenly understood.

The Prince of Luo was knowledgeable and experienced, but he didn't tell Xu Da, allowing Xu Da to play with the bamboo shoots for several days before trying to steal them!

"Cousin, I finally believe you're not gay."

Lin Yuesha covered her face with her hands and said sympathetically, "You really don't understand what this is for?"

"Isn't it a small object to be played with? Fox fur is smooth, and women would like to touch it even more."

Xu Da, puzzled, peered at Lin Yuesha's face through the gaps between her fingers and became suspicious.

"I can't say for sure, you should ask your uncle."

That's one of the downsides of the Great Qi Dynasty; there are many taboos regarding interactions between men and women. Lin Yuesha had no choice but to take a roundabout approach and push the matter to Prince Luo.

"Could this be something extraordinary?"

Xu Da sensed something was wrong and immediately went to find the Prince of Luo.

The Prince of Luo was leisurely enjoying tea and fishing when he saw Xu Da waving that thing around again. He deliberately turned his head away, but his stomach was already bursting with laughter.

"What's this?"

Xu Da presented it to the Prince of Luo, who immediately turned away with a dark expression.

If he didn't tell Xu Da, that simpleton, he would definitely pester him. King Luo was helpless, pointing to his own buttocks.

"Explain yourself, what do you mean?"

Xu Da still didn't understand. Was this meant to be used as toilet paper? If so, Qiu Baige was being far too extravagant.

A good fox pelt can cost hundreds of taels of silver, especially a smooth one without any stray hairs, which is quite valuable.

Xu Da wanted to give this to Wuya because he believed that women liked fluffy things.

"There's no one dumber than you."

The Prince of Luo suspected that Xu Da was trying to frame him, forcing him to say such offensive things.

"So you need to make it clear that my cousin asked me to ask you."

After Xu Da finished speaking, it was Luo Wang who was surprised. He asked, "What does Yue Sha know this is for?"

"Yes, I originally wanted to give this to Uya as a wedding gift, but my cousin stopped me."

Xu Da was very serious. As for Lin Yuesha, it was hard to say. Xu Da just felt that it was not a good idea. If it were to be used as toilet paper, it would really be embarrassing to use.

If Uya then thinks he's flirting with her, wouldn't that offend her even more?

"You're going to give it to Uya?"

Luo Wang nearly tumbled into the sea. He forced himself to steady himself, called Xu Da over, and whispered a few words to him.

A moment later, the Prince of Luo saw Xu Da, who was dumbfounded.

Since Wu Shoubei occupied half of Yingcheng, Lin Yuesha's life has become increasingly better.

The people Qi Heng had recruited arrived one after another and began preparations for building a shipyard by the sea. Carpenter Lu worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk.

After the craftsmen arrived, everyone busied themselves building houses by the sea. Zhang Daya found several older women from the fishing village to help with starting fires, cooking, and other tasks.

Xu Da disappeared without a trace, and the Prince of Luo spent his days idly fishing and shrimping by the sea.

"Uncle, where is my cousin?"

Lin Yuesha brought over a pot of tea and inquired about Xu Da's whereabouts.

Although she had wronged her cousin, the two were very close. Lin Yuesha believed that he could wrong Xu Da, but not others; she was still protective of her own.

Do you think he still has any face left?

Luo Wang waved his hand, and after Xu Dashe's death, he took the initiative to take over the job and go to the north to be Qi Heng's assistant.

The Northern Prefecture City has already been thrown into turmoil, and Qi Heng has put the Wei family in a dilemma.

The Wei family is currently reallocating manpower and facing a choice.

"If the Wei family abandons Yingcheng and concentrates their forces in Fucheng, they might have a fighting chance."

However, this move carries great risk. If the prefectural city is defeated and Yingcheng is also lost, then things will get really messy.

“I can’t help with these things. Qi Heng wrote that some of his men had returned to their hometowns due to injuries. Now that Yingcheng is building a shipyard, I want to invite those people back to help.”

Since the shipyard has different divisions of labor, it's better to have the wounded soldiers help out than to hire people from the surrounding area, at least they can get enough to eat.

"That's a great idea."

The Prince of Luo nodded repeatedly; this was a very meaningful matter, and he was willing to help.

"Uncle, is it true that Uya remarried?"

At first, Lin Yuesha believed it, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

The Prince of Luo said that after Xu Da infiltrated his ranks, the Prince of Luo wrote a letter to Lady Xu to explain.

Given Madam Xu's character, she would surely inform Uya.

Uya isn't a stingy person; even if she were to remarry, it wouldn't be so soon.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you."

Luo Wang nodded and smiled. He was the only one in the know about this matter, because he had forged the letter.

"So, Uya didn't get married, and she's not unhappy about it, right?"

Lin Yuesha could tell that Xu Da had feelings for Wuya, but he was too shy to admit it.

Uya's remarriage greatly shocked him.

"Of course, if Consort Xu is exchanged for a city, and Wuya marries someone else, wouldn't that be a complete loss?"

Madam Xu did not send a letter. The letter was forged by the Prince of Luo. He was afraid that if it was too long, he would expose the forgery, so he had to be concise.

If Xu Da had Lin Yuesha's brain and thought things through more, he wouldn't still be in the dark.

However, this is also good. After being stimulated, Xu Da focused on his career, and with someone running errands, the Prince of Luo was happy to have some free time.

"You're so shrewd."

Lin Yuesha grinned, her poor cousin had been completely fooled.

But this is for the best, it will teach Xu Da a lesson and prevent him from making the same mistake again.

"Look how hard your uncle has worked, he's put in so much effort!"

Luo Wang described how he had tricked Xu Da in a very grand and respectable way, but Lin Yuesha couldn't stand it anymore.

Leaving that aside, Lin Yuesha had a list given to her by Qi Heng, and the two discussed bringing people over to work.

These soldiers brought their families with them, and it would be best if they moved their entire families here. They need to prepare houses and arrange some work for their families.
