Chapter 294 Unexpected Situation
Ye Mingzhu raised his head slightly to glance at the person who came, then immediately lowered his head with the expression of an obedient servant.
Wang Dahu frowned. "Go down now? How many people are there?"
The man lowered his head: "There are three of us now."
Wang Dahu's brows furrowed even deeper: "I understand. I'll go see the steward."
After the visitor left, Ye Mingzhu asked cautiously, "Uncle, how about I follow him down to take a look?"
Wang Dahu looked around before saying unhappily, "You called me Steward Wang, why are you going down there now? Didn't you hear we were going to rescue someone? Come with me to see the chief steward first."
Ye Mingzhu finally reacted and thought, rescue him?
This meant to rescue the "person" from the sunken ship, but the ship had already sunk and the "person" had been soaked for several days.
Her face turned pale. She couldn't bear to think about the pain that spread from her hair to her toenails.
Wang Dahu watched her face change color, and he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "When you see the steward later, don't talk too much and listen to me in everything."
Ye Mingzhu was speechless and just kept nodding.
Wang Dahu has begun to regret bringing her up.
Steward Jiang was arranging things in his cabin, his face was ashen and he looked in a bad mood.
"Da Hu, you're here."
Wang Dahu originally wanted to talk about Ye Mingzhu, but when he looked at the other person in the cabin, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Da Hu, tell me about your brother Ming. He, he is so bold." Manager Jiang's voice was trembling. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Mingzhu behind Wang Da Hu.
He looked at her unhappily and said, "Go down first. I have something to discuss with the two stewards."
Ye Mingzhu lowered her head, not knowing that Manager Jiang was talking to her. However, Wang Dahu saw Manager Jiang's expression. He swallowed hard, walked to the front, and whispered a few words in Manager Jiang's ear.
Manager Jiang was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to the man beside him, "Tian Ming, go check on the arrangements for rescuing the person first."
After being scolded for a long time, Tian Ming immediately bowed and walked out.
Jiang Daguanshi's straight back relaxed, and he half leaned back in the chair cushion and asked Wang Dahu: "What exactly is going on? Tell me clearly."
Wang Dahu glanced at Ye Mingzhu, feeling three parts helpless, three parts proud, and four parts hesitant as he said, "This is my niece Mingzhu."
"What?" Manager Jiang immediately stood up and looked at Ye Mingzhu. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Nonsense! You don't know what's going on on the ship. Why did you bring Mingzhu up here?"
Wang Dahu has followed Manager Jiang for a long time and knows that although he looks very angry, he actually protects him in his heart.
So he smiled bitterly: "Of course I know this matter is very troublesome, but Mingzhu is worried about me and wants to come to help, I can't refuse."
He looked at Ye Mingzhu and gave her a wink.
Ye Mingzhu received the signal from Wang Dahu and took a step forward. "Don't blame my uncle, Chief Steward. I took the initiative to come and help. I used to be a pearl diver and often went to the sea. Fishing in the sea is not too difficult for me."
Manager Jiang frowned even deeper: "Kid, you already know this matter is very troublesome, why are you still here?"
Ye Mingzhu and Wang Dahu glanced at each other, and the steward Jiang heaved a sigh of relief: "Mingzhu, just follow behind Dahu, and don't let on that you can swim easily."
He looked at Wang Dahu again: "Dahu, you can't tell anyone about Mingzhu getting on the boat, not even Tian Ming, understand?"
Wang Dahu agreed, and then glanced at Ye Mingzhu worriedly before turning back: "Boss, has something happened?"
The steward Jiang looked exhausted, his voice rasping through his teeth as he said, "That idiot Tian Ming actually took a young lady from the main family's side branch to sail."
"What?" Wang Dahu's face changed drastically. He remembered that the people rescued were all servants. That could only mean one thing: the young lady from the main family's branch was in the sunken ship.
"You, why didn't you discuss it with me before bringing Mingzhu on board? This matter cannot be easily resolved." The voice of Jiang Da Guanshi was full of helplessness.
When he first learned that there was a lady from a side branch on the boat, he cursed at Tian Ming. Now he knew that Wang Dahu brought his niece on board. The anxiety and exhaustion in his heart were beyond words.
If this matter is not resolved properly, I am afraid that everyone will be buried with the young lady from the side branch. He can protect Dahu, but it is hard to say what will happen to Ye Mingzhu.
Wang Dahu finally came back to his senses. Facing Ye Mingzhu, his expression was full of regret. He looked at the steward Jiang and pleaded, "Steward, how about I take Mingzhu off the boat now?"
"Get off the boat?" Manager Jiang snorted coldly, "How do you get off the boat? If you don't pull out the people and things from the sunken ship this time, don't even think about getting off the boat."
Although he said that, he was thinking in his heart what kind of reason he could find to send Ye Mingzhu off the boat.
For the sake of Jiang Yue and Wang Dahu's marriage, he must protect Ye Mingzhu at all costs.
"Captain, let's not talk about getting off the boat for now," Ye Mingzhu had already recovered from her shock and asked, "If someone can pull that young lady out of the water, wouldn't this matter be easier to resolve?"
Steward Jiang looked at Ye Mingzhu disapprovingly: "Yes, if we can pull the young lady from the side branch out, I can still plead for mercy to the main family. However, this time the ship sank too deep, and the young lady is in the innermost cabin, so it is not easy to get in."
He guessed that Ye Mingzhu wanted to go down and rescue people, but he originally wanted to get Ye Mingzhu out, so how could he drag her in again?
"If we add some valuables on the ship, wouldn't the steward be more willing to talk?"
Manager Jiang said nothing, but stared at Ye Mingzhu quietly: "Mingzhu, how sure are you?"
Ye Mingzhu was not too conceited. She thought for a while before saying, "I need to go down and take a look before I make a decision."
"Okay, wait until night time and you go down quietly from the back. I'll let Dahu pick you up. Be sure to pay attention and take a good look at the situation first, then we'll discuss it." Manager Jiang thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to let Ye Mingzhu go into the sea.
Wang Dahu listened to the decision between Jiang Dashi and Ye Mingzhu to go into the sea business and said hurriedly, "Dashi, Mingzhu just got married."
Manager Jiang glared at him unhappily and said, "It was you who brought Mingzhu aboard."
Wang Dahu was so worried that he interrupted and said, "I'll send Mingzhu down now."
"It's too late," Manager Jiang frowned and shook his head, then looked at Ye Mingzhu seriously. "Mingzhu, you're just going down to take a look this time. Don't act rashly. Come back and tell us what you saw, and we'll discuss what to do next."
