Chapter 292 Unexpected Details
Jiang Yue wanted to speak, but Jiang Li shook her head at her, not wanting her to speak.
"We women shouldn't interfere too much in what's going on outside." Jiang Li was trying to warn Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue lowered her head, and Ye Mingzhu looked at Jiang Li: "Grandma, if there is anything you need my help with, just tell me directly."
Jiang Li shook her head and smiled gently: "It's okay now. If there is anything I need you for in the future, I will definitely tell you."
Next, no matter how Ye Mingzhu hinted at it, Jiang Li said it was okay. Jiang Yue was glared at by Jiang Li for a few times and stopped talking. She just listened quietly to what Jiang Li and Ye Mingzhu were saying.
At noon, Jiang Li and Jiang Yue had lunch at home and then said goodbye together.
Ye Mingzhu saw them off, frowning slightly, feeling very uneasy. She always felt that something had happened to the Jiang family, but Jiang Li didn't let her say it.
"Chun Xing, go ask Qiu Sheng where your uncle is busy today and when he will be back?" Ye Mingzhu was worried that the matter involved Wang Dahu, so she called Chun Xing and asked her to go out and find out.
Chun Xing went out obediently. Ye Mingzhu lay on the bed, but said she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She had to sit up and sit at the table, waiting for news from Chun Xing.
Jiang Li and Jiang Yue were sitting in the carriage on their way back. Jiang Yue asked unhappily, "Mother, why didn't you let me ask Mingzhu just now?"
Jiang Li sighed, "Xiao Yue, this matter is more troublesome than you imagined. You involved Mingzhu. If something happens, how will you explain it to Dahu? I'm afraid your marriage will be affected."
Jiang Yue shook her head: "Mom, I'm not afraid of these."
"I'm afraid," Jiang Li said heavily, "For your parents, nothing is more important than your marriage. Besides, your father is still out there. He will definitely find a way."
"But Dad clearly said there's nothing we can do." Jiang Yue's face was filled with worry: "If something goes wrong this time, Dad and Dahu will be implicated."
"It's okay, you have to trust your father. He has been the steward for so many years, he will definitely be able to think of a way." Jiang Li knew that this matter was too troublesome, but she didn't want to involve Ye Mingzhu.
It would be good if the matter was resolved satisfactorily. No matter if the matter could not be resolved or something happened to Ye Mingzhu, I am afraid that my daughter's marriage would undergo many changes out of thin air.
Jiang Li was not worried about Wang Dahu being punished. As long as her family did not dislike Wang Dahu, he could be punished. After all, the family could always support their daughter and son-in-law.
Jiang Yue could understand Jiang Li's worries, and for a moment she had no other choice.
In the Wang family yard, when Ye Mingzhu drank the third glass of water, she not only waited for Chun Xing, but also waited for Wang Dahu who came back with her.
Wang Dahu asked Chun Xing to prepare some dry food for him, and then said to Ye Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, your uncle has some matters to attend to and needs to go out for a while. You and Yun An should stay at home for the next few days. If you want to go out, take Chun Xing and Qiu Sheng with you. Here is the money for you."
Wang Dahu handed a purse to Ye Mingzhu. It felt thin when squeezed, so it must contain banknotes.
Ye Mingzhu didn't open her purse. She looked at Wang Dahu's expression and said, "Uncle, this matter is too troublesome. Why don't you let me go with you? I've been in the sea for many years, so I can definitely help you."
"What? No." Wang Dahu frowned: "Who told you that?"
Ye Mingzhu said tentatively: "I have been in the sea for so many years and rarely fail. Let me go over and help you."
Wang Dahu frowned and shook his head repeatedly: "You are my only niece, there is no way I can let anything happen to you."
He raised his hand to stop Ye Mingzhu from speaking: "Mingzhu, who told you about this incident? Was it Jiang Yue? What does the Jiang family want to do?"
By the time he finished speaking, his voice was already very loud, as if he was going to cause trouble for the Jiang family.
"Uncle, don't go. Sister Yue didn't tell me anything." Ye Mingzhu quickly stopped him, fearing that he would really cause trouble for the Jiang family.
"Grandma and Sister Yue gave me a lot of things today. I noticed that they looked unhappy, but when I asked them, they wouldn't tell me. So I thought I'd give my uncle a try. I didn't expect that there was something wrong."
Wang Dahu didn't expect that he had said the wrong thing. He smiled bitterly and sat back in his chair.
Ye Mingzhu poured him a glass of water and said, "Uncle, what happened? If there is anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask me."
Wang Dahu picked up the water cup and drank it all in one gulp. His forced spirit relaxed and he sighed: "Mingzhu, it's not that your uncle doesn't want to tell you, but this matter is very troublesome. If you are involved, I'm afraid the consequences will be hard to say..."
Just at this time, Chun Xing brought in a bowl of noodles. Ye Mingzhu put the noodles in front of Wang Dahu and asked Chun Xing to go down.
"Uncle, what's going on? Tell me first. If I can help, don't be polite. If I can't help, I can still give you some advice."
Ye Mingzhu really wants to help Wang Dahu, but she will definitely not give up her own life.
Wang Dahu looked at the steaming noodles in front of him, then looked at Ye Mingzhu, whose face was full of worry, without saying a word.
"How about uncle, eat first, and then we can talk after dinner." Ye Mingzhu nodded at the noodles on the table.
Wang Dahu gritted his teeth, picked up the noodles and started eating.
Ye Mingzhu waited quietly beside him and didn't say a word until he finished his noodles.
"Alas," Wang Dahu finished his noodles and sighed deeply, "Let me tell you about what happened this time."
It turned out that this time the master had brought back a batch of very precious treasures from overseas, all of which he wanted to present to the current emperor.
In order to avoid being robbed, the ship was marked with government signs. However, when it stopped near the city to replenish supplies, it was somehow tripped up by someone and the entire ship sank.
The strangest thing is that the incident happened at night, but only a few people on the boat escaped.
Even if everyone was fast asleep, the ship had sunk, so how could those people not wake up?
The steward leading the team on this ship is the godson of the steward Jiang, and he has a good relationship with Wang Dahu. If things are not handled well, the steward Jiang will definitely be punished, and as the son-in-law of the steward Jiang, Wang Dahu will not end up well either.
The most important thing is that the things on the boat are too precious, and the owner demands that they must be salvaged.
But the place where the ship sank had whirlpools and eddies, making it difficult to dive. They had already recruited some people to dive into the sea, but according to those people, it was difficult to approach the shipwreck.
The only person who approached the shipwreck was frightened by the dead bodies on the boat and refused to get on board again.
Wang Dahu thought about asking Ye Mingzhu to help salvage something from the sea, but when he heard there were dead bodies on the boat, and the location of the shipwreck was indeed dangerous, he didn't dare let his niece go into the sea.
Even if the Jiang family was punished, considering the years of hard work of Manager Jiang, his life would definitely not be in danger. But if something happened to Ye Mingzhu, how would he explain to his deceased sister and brother-in-law, and how would he face his young nephew?
