Chapter 179 The fish will be sent to the palace

"Since the two of you just happened to pass by, there is no point in dragging innocent people into this."

Xu Muhua looked at Li Gang with suspicion when he heard this.

His attitude changed drastically, something must be wrong when things are abnormal!

No matter how suspicious he was in his heart, Xu Muhua showed a relieved expression on his face, "Lord Li is reasonable and broad-minded, worthy of being the Minister of War."

Since Li Gang didn't make things difficult for them, Xiang Gong would not make things difficult for them either.

He didn't want to let them go before just because he was worried that if there was really something fishy, ​​he would be in trouble.

Whether it was the Duke of Cheng's Mansion or the Minister of War's Mansion, they couldn't afford to offend.

Now that Li Gang himself didn't pursue it, even if there were any problems later, it couldn't be blamed on him.

Moreover, as soon as the day breaks, the matter will be handed over to Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Jinwu Guard will have nothing to do. At most, they can cooperate in the investigation.

"In this case, it's getting late, so we will go back to the mansion first. If there is anything that requires our cooperation later, we will do our best as the people of Dayong."

Xu Muhua said it beautifully.

But only she knows what she thinks in her heart.

After coming out of the South Court, Liang Ming realized that his back was wet!

It doesn't matter if he has something to do, but if the eldest lady has something to do, he can't explain to his wife.

"Miss, do you think this matter is a bit strange?"

Liang Ming couldn't help asking.

Xu Muhua nodded, "It is indeed a bit strange. What is even stranger is Li Gang's attitude. At first, he clearly wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate, and even wanted to put the blame on us. But he changed his mind in an instant."

"Either he has a change of heart, or he has other plans."

Liang Ming felt that it was unlikely that Li Gang had a change of heart, so it must be the latter.

He frowned, a little worried, "Miss, will he target us because of this and take the opportunity to make trouble for the Chengguo Mansion?"

Of course he knew about the great achievements of the eldest lady. He felt that as a father, it was impossible for Li Gang to say that he had no complaints about the eldest lady. Although he might not have discovered the identity of the eldest lady just now, as long as they were from the Chengguo Mansion, he might have been angry.

"It's hard to say. So we have to be careful next time, don't let anyone catch us."

Liang Ming nodded.

"Who are they in the Chengguo Mansion?"

Li Gang looked at the two people who came out and asked Xiang Gong.

One looked like a servant or a guard, and the other looked like a master from his dress and temperament. But there were only a few masters in the Chengguo Mansion, and this man looked very unfamiliar.

"It's the youngest son of Duke Cheng and the guards in the mansion."

Li Gang frowned, "I have seen the youngest son of Duke Cheng, and he doesn't look like the young man just now!"

Xiang Gong was stunned for a moment, "Lord Li, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the two are fake?"

Li Gang didn't know why he thought of the eldest daughter of Duke Cheng's mansion who caused a big loss to the Minister of War and lost a daughter for no reason.

"That person said he was the youngest son of Duke Cheng?"

Xiang Gong said, "He didn't deny it."

That's why he believed that he was the youngest son of Duke Cheng.

Li Gang stopped talking, his eyes were heavy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

Xu Muhua and Liang Ming entered the mansion through the dog hole again. They were not discovered by the people in the mansion.

Before they parted, Xu Muhua remembered something and called Liang Ming.

"Tomorrow you go and find out who caught a big fish in Jinsha River today. It's a very big fish, different from ordinary fish. You go and ask around, it should be easy to find out. After you find out, think of a way to buy the fish and keep it. Don't kill it. I need it."

Liang Ming was stunned for a moment and asked, "Miss, do you want to eat fish?"

Xu Muhua: "...No, I don't. Don't ask so many questions, just do it."

"Okay, I'll go and find out tomorrow morning."

She still believed that Liang Ming could handle this little thing.

Seeing her come back, Shi Liu, Wu Er, and Aunt Qian all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since the young lady sneaked out, they have been worried, fearing that something might happen to the young lady outside. They were also worried that they would be discovered by the people in the mansion. If the lady were to find out, the young lady would definitely be punished. As soon as

Xu Muhua entered the room, she saw the three of them sighing at the same time, and she couldn't help but smile, "I'm back, you don't have to worry, go downstairs and have a rest!"

Nanny Qian felt that if this happened a few more times, she would not be able to bear it.

After Xu Muhua had packed up, she lay down. Before going to bed, she thought about what happened when she came back. It felt like this matter would not be so easy to get over. That Li Gang was not a good person. She made Li Qingru completely socially dead. A legitimate daughter was gone just like that. It would be strange if he didn't hold a grudge.

Maybe he had already thought of some bad idea in his mind.

She turned over and decided that sleep was the most important thing. She had to sleep well before thinking about other things!

She closed her eyes and fell into a sweet dream in a short while.

"What's wrong?"

She sat up and rubbed her eyes, her voice was still a little hoarse and unclear.

"Miss, Liang Ming said that he has found out what you asked him to find out last night, and asked if you want to hear it now."

Upon hearing

this, Xu Muhua immediately woke up, "Quick, quick, give me the clothes!"

She was really worried that the fish was killed last night!

Xu Muhua packed up as quickly as possible and hurried to the small reception hall. Before she even sat down, she asked anxiously, "How is it going? Did you find out anything?"

"Miss, you asked me to find out, and I found out. Someone indeed caught a very big fish in Jinsha River yesterday. Everyone said it was unprecedented. The boss was originally going to keep it and wait for the price to rise."

"But I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. I don't know how it got to the palace, and it was exaggerated, saying that this fish is rare in a hundred years..."

Xu Muhua suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"The nobles in the palace also heard about it and were very curious, so they asked someone to send the fish to the palace so that the saint could see how big this fish that only appears once in a hundred years is."

Xu Muhua: "..."

Good, very good! Now it's going to be sent to the palace, how can she ask for things from the palace! Even if she is the richest person in the world, she can't buy things from the palace!

What should I do now!

Will those fish think that she didn't pay attention at all, or even suspect that she ate their boss?
