Chapter 1017: Uncle and Sister-in-law’s Murder of the Original Wife (9)
"I'm sorry, I was too reckless. Changle is missing, and I was very anxious. Once I saw her, I couldn't care about anything else. Thank you for taking care of her for me and not letting her get lost." Although Zhai Wanting still had a cold face, he knew that he was at fault first, and Yue Shichu had done him a favor by helping him find his niece.
Seeing that he had given in, Yue Shichu snorted and stopped choking him, but still said unhappily: "Your niece almost got lost. If you don't have time to take care of her, at least send more people to stay with her and don't let her run around. Otherwise, when she really disappears, it will be too late for you to regret it."
Zhai Wanting looked at his niece who was still soft in his arms. Hearing Yue Shichu's words, he felt a little guilty and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention to it in the future. Do you know where your house is? I will bring a gift to thank you some other day."
"No need, it's just a small favor." Yue Shichu remembered that he was still a woman in men's clothing and it would be difficult to expose himself, so he quickly refused and waved to Changle, saying, "Little Changle, brother is leaving now. Goodbye!"
Changle also obediently raised his little fleshy hand and waved it towards her, grinning and saying, "Brother, goodbye."
"Wait a minute, you haven't told me your identity yet." Zhai Wanting hurriedly stopped Yue Shichu and turned to leave.
"Yue Chongyang." Yue Shichu spoke out the name of his brother who was far away in the frontier without any psychological barrier.
"Yue Chongyang?" Zhai Wanting frowned and thought for a while which wealthy families in the capital had the surname Yue. There were indeed quite a few, but then an idea flashed in his mind and he remembered that there was a guard in the imperial court named "Yue Chonglou". Yue Chonglou and Yue Chongyang, these two names are so similar that no one would believe that they have no connection.
As Zhai Wanting was a young man who became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he naturally knew that the general in the court was surnamed Yue. Yue Chonglou was General Yue's eldest son, so Yue Chongyang was also a descendant of General Yue's family.
After knowing Yue Shichu's identity, Zhai Wanting made a decision in his mind that he must go and express his gratitude.
"Uncle, go play... go play..." Zhai Changle stretched out her little hands and looked at the boat on the lake with a longing look on her face, and said to her uncle.
Zhai Wanting took her little hand back and coaxed her softly, "Be good, Changle. Uncle doesn't have time now and can't play with you anymore. Can we come back next time?"
Changle was immediately disappointed: "No, why don't you go now?"
"Changle, stop making trouble. Uncle will accompany you next time. Be good." Even though Zhai Wanting felt guilty, he still stubbornly and persistently refused his niece's request to go play.
Changle finally couldn't bear her grievance anymore and burst into tears. Zhai Wanting was immediately embarrassed and tried to coax her to stop crying while leaving.
Meanwhile, Yue Shichu had already found Zhichun. Zhichun somehow managed to find a boat that was willing to rent out: "Second Young Master, hurry up! Hurry up, I found a boat!"
"Zhichun is really capable." Yue Shichu praised her happily, "I'll give you a reward when I get back."
"Thank you, young master!" Zhichun suddenly became more motivated. He busied himself tidying up the boat before welcoming Yue Shichu.
The boat was very small. Zhichun and Yue Shichu each occupied one end, each holding a paddle.
"Young... Second Young Master, I don't know how to row a boat." Zhichun rowed the boat twice in a panic and almost capsized the boat. She was very frustrated.
"Don't worry, I can. I will control the direction, and then you row when I tell you to." Yue Shichu comforted her. This kind of small boat was just like a toy to her. After all, in other worlds, she had rowed a boat on a stormy sea, which was really thrilling.
So with Yue Shichu as the main force, the boat began to move slowly, passing through the gaps between the lotus flowers in the pond, like a nimble fish swimming in the water.
Tourists who were enjoying the scenery, reciting poems, playing the zither and painting on the big boat saw Yue Shichu's boat moving swiftly and freely in the rippling blue waves, and they all asked in amazement: "Whose boat is that agile as a loach? How can it not get tangled up in the lotus leaves when it is rowing so fast?"
There were also those literati and poets who loved romance and elegance the most. When they saw the simple and nimble boat sailing among the green lotus leaves and the bright pink lotus flowers in the lake, they suddenly had a burst of amazing inspiration and said, "This scene is so interesting and lovely. Isn't it something that can be painted?" So they immediately took out paper and pen with excitement to draw this scene.
The playful one smiled and said meaningfully, "Look, this is the real way to walk through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on you. I wonder which brother has such a great skill. It's really impossible for me to say so. I really want to make some friends with him."
So Yue Shichu and Zhichun, who were almost going crazy, got tired of rowing when a magnificent large boat stopped in front of their boat. Then a handsome and elegant young man walked to the bow and said to Yue Shichu with a smile: "May I know your name, brother? My name is Zhu Xinyang, and I would like to make an acquaintance with you."
Yue Shichu felt a little puzzled. Why did this person want to get to know her? She asked directly and frankly: "Why do you want to get to know me? I am just an ordinary citizen."
Zhu Xinyang smiled even more and said, "Ordinary people can't row a boat so well and move freely in this lotus pond. I'll tell you the truth, because you rowed so beautifully just now, I was very moved, so I wanted to get to know you."
Yue Shichu just thought that this person was too idle. He rowed beautifully, so was he worth getting to know? Why didn't he get to know the fishermen who went out to sea to fish?
Yue Shichu didn't want to pay attention to him and wanted to row his boat away. Seeing this, Zhu Xinyang hurriedly called out to him: "Hey, little brother, don't leave. Tell me your name. I want to ask you for advice on rowing!"
Yue Shichu rowed faster. Just as the two boats, one big and one small, were chasing each other, suddenly a "plop" sound came from the distance, followed by a panicked female voice: "Oh no! The lady fell into the water!"
Yue Shichu immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw that the person who fell into the water was also a large ship, about the same size as Zhu Xinyang's. At this time, the people on that ship had already started to panic. Everyone was panicking and panicking. Some were shouting, some were crying, and some were angry. It was extremely noisy.
Soon, several people jumped into the water to rescue him.
"Miss! Wuuwu...Miss is there!" The maid cried and pointed the direction to the person who went into the water.
