Chapter 176 Our boss was caught
In general, Xu Jinyu's falling into the water had no impact on the people in the Chengguo Mansion. She suspected that Xu Muhua knew something. But she found opportunities to test it again and again but got nothing.
In addition, there was something she couldn't figure out.
She was obviously planning to find an opportunity to let the female ghost she often controlled push Xu Muhua into the water, so that she wouldn't have to worry about being seen by others. She didn't have to worry about being suspected and finding any witnesses.
But why did she become the one who fell into the water in the end?
Xu Jinyu never thought that the female ghost who was supposed to be one of her own would harm her in return.
She didn't know that her control over the female ghost was getting weaker and weaker. Now the female ghost is not leaving, it is just because she listened to Xu Muhua and stayed by her side to see if she can find any opportunity to deal with her and find out her origins.
She asked the female ghost to push Xu Muhua into the water, and of course the female ghost turned around and told Xu Muhua!
Xu Muhua thought that since Xu Jinyu liked to fall into the water so much, as a good sister, there was absolutely no reason for her not to help! So she let the female ghost push Xu Jinyu into the water, and then she went to save people!
Not only can she play a prank on Xu Jinyu, but she can also earn a good reputation, perfect!
It’s just that the water in Jinsha River is a bit cold in the first month of the year. If she didn’t have a very good physique, she would have caught a cold and fever by now.
Hey, thinking about it this way, Xu Jinyu usually looks weak, but actually has a very good physique!
Of course Xu Muhua didn't forget the bead in her body.
They agreed to return the bead in three days. When the time came, Xu Muhua had no choice but to return it. Xu Jinyu fell into the water. If she said she wanted to leave the house, Xu's mother would definitely not agree. So she had to force herself to get out of the house through the dog hole.
After getting out of the dog hole, she patted the grass debris on her body and sighed sadly.
She really had a hard time and sacrificed too much!
"Miss, let's go quickly. If you are discovered, you can't leave."
Liang Ming reminded in a low voice.
At this moment, he felt that he had boarded the eldest lady's pirate ship and no longer had the ambition of the previous few days.
If the eldest lady comes from time to time in the future, something will happen sooner or later!
But it was too late to regret, the only thing to do now was to seize the time to improve himself.
Liang Ming made up his mind to practice martial arts diligently in the future. If he encountered danger in the future, at least he could protect the young lady's personal safety .
"Oh, then let's go quickly! Go early and come back early!"
It was not yet curfew time, and there were still many people on the street. Xu Muhua certainly couldn't go out wearing women's clothes at this time, so she dressed herself up as a young man.
Liang Ming sent her to the Jinsha River according to the location she said, looked around and reminded her: "Young lady, you have to do it as soon as possible, we have to go back to the mansion before the curfew starts."
Otherwise, it would be troublesome. When the curfew starts, if they are seen by patrolling officers and soldiers on the street, they will be punished. They are also people from the Chengguo Mansion. If they are caught without a reasonable explanation, they don't know what kind of trouble will arise.
"Don't worry, it will be quick. You wait by the side and keep an eye on them for me. Don't let anyone get close."
If people see her communicating with the big fish, tomorrow there will probably be news that a crazy person talked to fish in the Jinsha River last night.
Liang Ming walked away obediently and stood nearby waiting. Xu
Muhua didn't know where the fish were now or when they would come over. She didn't have much time to wait. She had no choice but to tentatively put her hand into the water - oh, it was too cold, and she immediately retracted her hand.
"Ahem, fish, are you there? I'm here to return the pearls. If you can hear me, come quickly. I can't stay too long."
After calling Xu Muhua in a low voice, she looked at the calm water surface. There was no movement for a long time. She called again, but there was still no movement.
"Hey, I kept my promise and came to return the pearl. You broke your promise and didn't show up. Don't blame me in the future and say what happened to us!"
Time passed little by little, and Xu Muhua was ready to leave.
After all, it would take time for her to go back, and the curfew was approaching.
Just as she was about to leave, the water surface finally became a little rippled, and soon a few fish came out of the water.
"You are finally here, otherwise I would have left. Tell me, how can I return this pearl to you?" She
shouldn't be asked to spit it out, right? That would be too much trouble!
I don't know if it was her eyes, why did she think these fish were a little weird? They seemed to be discussing something or had something to say, but no fish wanted to be the first to speak out. Everyone was pushing the issue to each other.
Finally, a fish that was obviously not big enough was pushed out. It said hesitantly, "Our boss is not here, and we don't know how to get the pearl back."
Xu Muhua was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is your boss?"
Did he go traveling?
"...Our boss was caught! It was your kind! You are so hateful. We live well in Jinsha River and it doesn't bother you in any way. Why do you have to catch us?"
So many of our descendants have been eaten by them, and that's not enough. They have to catch them.
Xu Muhua was shocked. "Your boss was caught? How was he caught?"
"It's all because of you. Because of you, we floated up that night and were seen by others. In the past two days, someone has been trying to catch us on the river. We wouldn't have been caught, but the boss had to float up to keep your appointment, and the result... Humph! You owe our boss!"
Ah, so?
Xu Muhua was also dumbfounded.
"Forget it, she is also a human being, she is definitely not willing to help us, the boss must be in a bad situation this time, maybe he has been killed now! Wuwuwu, our boss, without the boss, what will we do in the future!"
Several fish couldn't help crying sadly.
Xu Muhua was also
looking at these innocent fish, Xu Muhua felt a little uneasy.
If it was really her fault, then she had an unshirkable responsibility.
Besides, they had helped her that night.
"How about this, I'll have someone check tomorrow to see who took your boss away. When I find out, I will definitely buy your boss back and release him back to the Jinsha River so that you can reunite, okay?"
Xu Muhua thought that their boss was indeed a rare big fish, but it was not a precious species. If she had more money, she should be able to buy it back. If
that didn't work, she would have to bully others and move out of the Duke's Mansion. Now they should give him some face, right?
