Chapter 359 I Have a Brother-in-Law

"You, you." Lord Zheng stretched out his finger helplessly and pointed at Lu Dou twice.

Ye Mingzhu handed the water on the table to Luodou again, signaling him to drink the water quickly and swallow the snack in his mouth.

Fortunately, there were not many snack crumbs on the clothes, and Lord Zheng wiped them clean with a handkerchief.

"Cousin, this snack is delicious, please try it." Green Bean took the snack and wanted to feed it to Lord Zheng in a flattering manner.

Lord Zheng declined politely: "This is for you, just eat it."

Luodou smiled awkwardly. He really didn't mean it. Why didn't his cousin believe him?

Zheng Da Ren asked if Ye Mingzhu had a comfortable stay on the boat these past two days. If there was anything wrong, he could directly ask his servant, Ah Jiu, who was going to pick them up.

Ye Mingzhu hesitated and said, "I really do have something to trouble you, Master Zheng."

"Oh?" Lord Zheng just said it casually, but since he said it, he would help if he could. "If you have anything to say, tell me."

"Sir Zheng, let's go outside and talk. Let Luodou and the others have snacks here." Ye Mingzhu glanced at Luodou and Ye Yun'an who were eating snacks and didn't want to say it in front of them.

"Okay." Ye Mingzhu walked out first.

Ajiu, who was guarding outside the door, walked over immediately. Lord Zheng waved his hand and said it was okay.

Ajiu obediently stood aside.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Lord Zheng asked Ye Mingzhu behind him.

"Sir Zheng, my uncle's name is Wang Dahu. I wonder if you have heard of his name?" Ye Mingzhu carefully observed Sir Zheng's expression.

She was really worried, thinking that since Lord Zheng asked her to keep the secret of the shipwreck, he must know what happened on the ship.

"Wang Dahu?" Lord Zheng thought for a moment, "No impression."

Ye Mingzhu showed a disappointed expression on her face. She forced herself to say, "Excuse me, sir."

Lord Zheng really didn't know who Wang Dahu was, but the servant beside him knew.

When Ye Mingzhu mentioned this name just now, Ajiu's eyes moved.

If Lord Zheng had not been very familiar with him, he would not have discovered it.

"Ajiu, do you know Wang Dahu?"

Ajiu seemed to have something to hide, and he glanced at Ye Mingzhu inconspicuously.

Ye Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat. She stepped in front of Ah Jiu and raised her head: "Did something happen to my uncle?"

Ah Jiu lowered his eyes and said nothing. Ye Mingzhu's worry was about to overflow. She almost grabbed Ah Jiu's clothes and asked, "What happened to my uncle?"

"Ajiu, just tell me what's going on." Lord Zheng also had a bad feeling in his heart.

Ah Jiu knew that the two had misunderstood each other. He took two steps back before shaking his head: "It's okay, it's okay, Wang Dahu is still alive."

Ye Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but Lord Zheng sensitively noticed that there was something wrong with what Ajiu said.

Still alive? Could something else have gone wrong?

Ajiu looked at Lord Zheng, hoping that he could understand what he meant.

He punished several people in the provincial capital, one of whom was a small manager named Wang Dahu.

"Is the Wang Dahu you are talking about engaged to the daughter of Manager Jiang?" asked Ajiu.

"Yes, my uncle is getting married in a month." Ye Mingzhu nodded impatiently.

Ah Jiu glanced at Mr. Zheng again and said, "When we left the city, Wang Dahu seemed to have suffered some injuries, but they were not serious. He should be almost healed now."

Ye Mingzhu asked again uncertainly: "Really?"

Zheng Daren added: "I, a servant, will definitely not lie. If he says your uncle is fine, then he must be fine."

"Thank you, Lord Zheng, and thank you, Ajiu." Ye Mingzhu thanked them both solemnly, and then asked Ajiu where her uncle was injured.

Ajiu looked embarrassed, and Ye Mingzhu thought he didn't know, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing this, Lord Zheng asked her to go back to the cabin first as he still had things to do. After Ye Mingzhu received the news from her uncle, the worry on her face faded away and she relaxed completely. She walked back to the cabin with light steps.

After Ye Mingzhu's figure completely disappeared from their sight, Zheng Daren stared at Ajiu: "What's the problem with Wang Dahu?"

Ah Jiu looked at Lord Zheng with an indescribable look in his eyes. "Sir, you beat a few people in the city with sticks. Do you remember? Steward Jiang even pleaded for Wang Dahu, saying he was getting married after the New Year and hoped you would show some mercy."

Lord Zheng then remembered that when he knew his cousin was at the bottom of the sea, he was so angry that he ordered several servants to be beaten with sticks. He didn't expect that Ye Mingzhu's uncle was among them.

"That Wang Dahu, go back and ask him if he wants to redeem himself?" Lord Zheng wanted to give Ye Mingzhu some face.

Ajiu smiled constipatedly. "Sir, Wang Dahu has already been redeemed. At that time, Manager Jiang said he only had one daughter and hoped that she would be a free person in the future. So you released the indentures for Manager Jiang's daughter and son-in-law."

Zheng Daren looked at Ah Jiu expressionlessly, which made Ah Jiu feel a little guilty before he said, "You knew everything, why didn't you remind me? I'll deduct one month's salary from you."

Ajiu: ...Sir, you want face, don’t I want face?

Although the monthly allowance is definitely not as much as the usual rewards from adults, it is still embarrassing.

He wanted to bargain with Lord Zheng, but Lord Zheng had already turned and left.

He felt that Lord Zheng was a little angry and embarrassed, but he had no evidence.

Ye Mingzhu felt much more at ease knowing that her uncle was fine, although she was still a little puzzled as to why her uncle had not written to her. She simply thought that her uncle was not convenient or that the letter had been lost in the middle of the journey.

In the following days, perhaps because Lord Zheng was too busy, Ye Mingzhu never saw him again.

However, the guy named Ajiu came to bring them snacks a few times.

Ye Mingzhu wanted to ask about her uncle, but every time Ajiu brought snacks, he came and left in a hurry, leaving Ye Mingzhu almost no time to speak.

After this happened a few times, Ye Mingzhu felt too embarrassed to ask again.

The ship that Lord Zheng was on had sufficient supplies on board and only stopped once on the way, which was a day faster than the last time Ye Mingzhu and his party took the official ship.

Before getting off the boat, Ajiu came to inform Ye Mingzhu that their masters had arranged a carriage to take them there and asked them to wait for a while before getting off.

Ye Mingzhu didn't expect Lord Zheng to be so enthusiastic, and she praised him in front of Luodou.

Green Bean felt a little strange. When did his cousin become so enthusiastic? It was unlike him!

When Ajiu came to pick them up from the boat, Luodou grabbed his arm and motioned him to lower his head.

"Ajiu, do you think my cousin has a crush on my sister? I already have a brother-in-law, even if he is my biological cousin, it won't work."

Ajiu was so scared that he almost fell to the ground. My little prince, you have such a rich imagination.
