Chapter 17 From now on, I will call you Master

In front of Rourou was a bowl, a top-notch bowl, with a sky-blue glaze, lotus petal patterns, and smooth and oily. It was placed on the ground, and in the bowl were dried small fish, which Rourou was enjoying!

Xu Muhua was sitting on the side with one hand supporting her cheek, watching Rourou eating happily, and she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Is this dried small fish really so delicious? How about she try it too?

While Rourou was enjoying her meal, Xu Muhua quickly took a dried small fish from the side of her bowl that Rourou hadn't touched yet and stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it... Well, it seemed really delicious!

So after she finished eating, she quickly took another one, and this time Rourou found out.

It stopped moving, slowly raised its head, and looked at Xu Muhua in disbelief. Its eyes, which were originally round, seemed to have grown bigger.

It is not a human, but it is really a dog!

It actually competed with a cat for food! Can she be more humane?

Being stared at by Rourou, Xu Muhua did not feel embarrassed at all, and even felt a little unsatisfied. "This dried fish is delicious!"

Rourou: "Meow!"

Do you need to say it!

"Ask Shi Liu to make more some other day, I also want to have it as a snack!"

Rourou made a sad cry!

This abominable human, actually competed with a cat for food, shameless!

"Okay, after eating snacks, it's time to talk about business."

After Xu Muhua said that, he put away the dried fish, and asked Shi Liu to take away the beautiful bowl.

Rourou watched his food being taken away helplessly, and involuntarily stretched out a chubby paw to try to keep it, but in the end it could only drop down powerlessly.

Xu Muhua couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this.

Is this cat too dramatic?

Retracting his paw, Rourou told the news he had found out, squatted on the ground, and looked at Xu Muhua arrogantly: "This cat has done a great deed for you, it would be unreasonable for you not to reward me!"

"Isn't it a reward for what you did, Xiaoyu?"

Rourou rolled his eyes, "This is a reward! Do you want this cat to work for you for nothing?"

Xu Muhua: You are quite smart!

"Okay, what kind of reward do you want?"

"Some beef jerky!"

Xu Muhua was silent for a moment, "You really know how to eat."

Ancient times were not like modern times. There was beef everywhere and you could eat it as you like. Although beef can be eaten, it is not as casual as it is now. In ancient times, cattle were protected by the law!

"Well, I can't be a harsh person, so beef is beef!"

Rourou corrected: "It's beef jerky!"

"...I know, Grandpa!"

Rourou felt that his name might as well be Grandpa!

It would be fine if he didn't think about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Grandpa was much more imposing than Rourou!

So he protested, "This cat thinks the name you gave it before is not good. It doesn't reflect this cat's imposingness at all. This cat wants to change it!"

"Oh, what do you want to change it to?"

Xu Muhua responded nonchalantly.

"I will call you 'Da Ye' from now on!"

Xu Muhua: I think you are dreaming!

Seeing that Xu Muhua seemed unwilling, Rourou immediately stated his position firmly: "I have made up my mind!"

"I think..."

"I don't want you to think, I want to think for myself! This name is good!"

The more I read it, the more I feel it is suitable, it suits it very well! It fully reflects its extraordinary momentum!

"...Would you like to think about it again?"

Would a cat really not get beaten if it called 'Da Ye'? This is not modern times!

"Don't think about it!"

Seeing Xu Muhua still hesitant, Rourou threatened: "Do you still want this cat to help you in the future?"

Xu Muhua was flexible and quick to follow advice, "Okay, you can call me Grandpa from now on."

Destroy it, whatever you want!

Rourou - no, you have to call it Grandpa from now on. Grandpa was satisfied and licked his shiny hair.

Xu Muhua quickly asked someone to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to find the prefect. Originally, she just wanted to pass the news to the prefect, but she didn't expect that the prefect was worried and came in person!

Xu Muhua said that she was under a lot of pressure. She just wanted to do good things, but she didn't want to get into trouble!

But now that everyone is here, can she still rush out? No, so she had to come to the front hall again.

"My niece, are the words you asked people to spread true?"

Xu Muhua blinked innocently, "I don't know, anyway, it was the god in my dream who told me."

Without waiting for the prefect to say anything, Xu Muhua said with a serious face, "Sir, saving lives is like putting out a fire. The most urgent thing is to wipe out this gang first. Other things are actually not important! As for whether it is true or not, as long as you arrange people to go down and find out, won't you know? Even if it is false, at most it will just waste some time."

Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

The prefect understood this, of course, but...

"This... my virtuous niece, it's like this, if things are solved smoothly, then I have to report this matter truthfully..."

So, he couldn't tell the emperor in the official document that it was because the young lady of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion had a dream, in which an old immortal told her that there was a beggar, right? If it was written like this, wouldn't the emperor take off his official hat?

Xu Muhua was shocked, "What? I have to tell the emperor?"

"Uncle, you call me your virtuous niece, you can't push your niece into the fire pit!"

Xu's mother's face turned black when she heard this!

"Muhua!"

This child, how can he talk like that? How can reporting to the emperor become a fire pit? Even if... even if it is a fire pit, you can't say it out! This silly child! What can the prefect do?

He can only ignore it and let it go!

"My virtuous niece, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I don't dare to speak to the emperor!"

At least I have to find a plausible explanation!

Xu Muhua was silent for a while, then slapped his thigh and said, "Then tell the truth, after all, this is the fact!"

Yes, this is the fact!

Xu's mother also said, "Yes, it was Muhua's dream. If you want to explain it in other ways, it would be deceiving the emperor!"

The prefect didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he felt that it was more important to catch the group of people first. After all, if the people were not caught, there would be no need to report to the emperor later.

After calming down, he quickly stood up and said goodbye.

Xu's mother was actually a little worried in her heart, but things had come to this point, and there was no point in saying more. She still went to discuss with the old lady and think of a way to avoid any accidents.
