Chapter 89 I just want to see my first love

So the people in the Chengguo Mansion saw that the eldest lady had been sitting by the pond in the front yard these two days, staring at the koi swimming in the pond. Her eyes were scary, as if she was looking at which one to catch and roast.

The servants passing by were a little worried. After all, the koi in the pond were not ordinary koi. One of them was a treasure in the mansion and was taken care of like an ancestor! If the eldest lady really caught it and ate it, the old lady and the lady would chop off their heads!

Especially the servants in charge of taking care of the koi, they would secretly hide aside and stare at the eldest lady without blinking, ready to rush out to stop her as soon as they saw any signs of her taking action!

But after watching for two days, the young lady didn't do anything strange - if she just sat there quietly staring at the pool didn't count.

Finally, the servant couldn't help it anymore, and asked tremblingly: "Young lady, you, you have been sitting here staring at the pool these two days... Is it because I did something wrong, so the young lady came to inspect?"

Xu Muhua was watching intently, and when she heard the servant's question, she hurriedly said: "You did a good job, and you took good care of these koi!"

Each one is as fat as a pig! Even fatter than the koi in Baotu Spring! Baotu Spring has many tourists, but here there are no tourists, so it is really amazing to be able to raise them like this!

Xu Muhua admired her very much, so she said this sincerely.

The servant was immediately delighted after hearing this, with a little shyness in his heart, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss. This is my job."

Xu Muhua gave him a thumbs up, "Very good, keep it up, and take good care of these pigs - koi in the future."

"Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely take good care of them!"

The servant held his head high and said loudly, then went to work in a heroic and confident manner.

He walked a long way before waking up from the daze of being praised: Hey, he hasn't asked the young lady why she was sitting there staring at the pond!

He just remembered the words that the young lady had just praised him, and he thought that the young lady must be too bored, so she was sitting there! The young lady must not have any bad intentions!

Xu Muhua really didn’t mean any harm, she just wanted to ask something.

But this old koi has become a spirit!

He knew what she wanted, and he even put forward conditions to her!

The key is that this condition is too outrageous!

This old thing said that when he was young, he had a lover and they were in love, but they were separated.

Although it has no idea how many children and grandchildren it has had over the years, it still misses its first love and wants to see her again in its lifetime.

But it is just a koi, it can’t speak human language, and people can’t understand what it says. It can only swim around in this pond day after day, year after year, and can’t leave.

Now there is actually a human who can understand what it says!

The old koi thinks this may be its only chance, so it holds on tightly. Xu Muhua insisted that she take it to find her first love.

Listen, listen, is this something a fish can do?

If it was a cat, a bird, or even a mouse or an ant, Xu Muhua would definitely take it to find her first love without hesitation! But it's a fish! It's a fish that she has raised at home for more than ten years. How can she take it out? What if something happens to it and it dies, won't she be buried with it?

"I told you not to think about your first love. Look at you, you have a wife, children, and grandchildren, and you are still thinking about your first love. Isn't this..."

Too bad?

"Besides, it's been more than ten years. Do you think everyone is as kind-hearted as the Chengguo Mansion? Maybe your first love has already entered someone else's stomach and was excreted, becoming a part of the earth!"

The old koi ignored her and was about to leave with its tail wagging.

In short, it had only one request, and if it agreed, it would tell her everything she wanted to know!

There was nothing it didn't know about the Chengguo Mansion!

It also knew that this girl was no longer the same girl!

Watching it leave, Xu Muhua sighed.

But there was no way. After a few days, Xu Muhua still lost.

Because the old koi said that it had the answer to what she wanted to know!

In order to find out Xu Jinyu's secret, she risked everything!

If it died, she would just buy another one and put it in. It shouldn't be able to tell... right?

For the next two days, Xu Muhua acted sneakily, avoiding the servants who took care of the fish, guarding against Xu's mother, and being careful not to be seen by other servants.

Under the cover of Shi Liu, Wu Er, and Nanny Qian, while Xu's mother was out for a social event, Shi Liu called away the servants who took care of the fish, Wu Er helped to catch the fish, and Nanny Qian kept an eye on the other servants.

Xu Muhua found a small water tank and put the old koi in it.

The old thing said that the old duke bought it, and its first love was bought by another family. It still remembered the family's surname, and heard the old duke call the other family "Minister".

When Xu Muhua asked, it fell silent.

What a coincidence that the old thing was talking about an old acquaintance of hers, Li Qingru's family! Li Qingru's grandfather!

When Xu Muhua thought of the grudge between herself and the Li family, she had a toothache and a headache.

"Are you sure you remembered it correctly? Why don't you think about it again? It's been so many years, maybe you remembered it wrong, that person's surname is not Li, maybe it's someone else?"

The old koi flicked its tail, and the splashing water hit Xu Muhua's face!

Xu Muhua closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and wiped her face with a handkerchief expressionlessly.

"Who do you look down on, girl? I have a good memory! I still remember the appearance of my first love clearly! Yes, the surname is Li, and that person was a minister at that time, named Li Changmin, and had a son named Li Gang!"

Xu Muhua's hope was shattered in an instant.

Of course she knew that Li Qingru's father was called Li Gang. What Li Gang's father's name was and what official position he had held could be found out by checking, and it could not be faked.

If it was any other family, she thought she could easily go in or find out something. But this Li family... Li Qingru had died not long ago. If she went there, wouldn't she be beaten out?

After thinking about it, she felt that it would not work if she just went there. If she wasn't beaten out, they would probably think she was a fool. If she turned around and complained, that would be terrible.

As she thought about it, an idea flashed in her mind, "Turn around and go to Prince Kang's Mansion!"

As smart as she is, this matter is not difficult for her!

Doesn't Princess Qingning have a good relationship with Li Qingru? She is also the only princess of Dayong, and the widow of Prince Kang, who is well treated by the Emperor.

Didn't Princess Qingning get injured in the hunting ground? Perfect! Just ask to borrow the old koi from the Li family for good

luck! The Li family dare not refuse to lend it!
