Chapter 421 The cannon fodder shark in the ancient Chinese novel 17
*
Yun Wu became nervous immediately, but Jun Song didn't seem to notice that she was eavesdropping.
"The guard outside the palace reported that a fisherman named Yue is looking for the girl, but who does the girl know?"
Jun Song touched his head and said with some doubts. Yun Wu was stunned for a moment, and then she thought about it.
Isn’t the fisherman named Yue Yue Sangning?
At the entrance of the palace, Yue Sangning, who had just returned from the sea, changed into clean clothes and came to the palace with a food box to find her benefactor.
Yue Sangning originally wanted to climb over the wall to get in, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of being discovered like last time, so he just stayed at the door and waited for someone to go in and report.
After a while, she saw her benefactor coming over. He was wearing an apricot-colored dress and had picturesque features. He was really beautiful.
"Miss Yun."
The guard at the door saluted Yun Wu respectfully, and then retreated to the door.
Yue Sangning quickly opened the food box and showed Yun Wu a plate of pancakes and a bowl of fish soup inside like a treasure.
"Benefactor, these are fish pancakes made by my grandmother. They are fresh and delicious. There is also fish soup made from the fish just caught this morning."
"smell good……"
Yun Wu smelled the food box, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She picked up a piece of pancake filled with fish fillings, took a bite, and said vaguely:
“It turns out there are so many ways to cook fish.”
"That's natural. Liangzhou City has the most fish products. From now on, I will bring delicious food with different recipes to my benefactor every day. I would like to thank my benefactor for giving me the money to buy medicine to save my grandmother."
Yue Sangning said with a smile. Yun Wu wanted to nod in agreement, but suddenly thought of her own plan.
Sooner or later, she would have to run away, otherwise she would end up in a miserable state if she was discovered secretly delivering messages to Mr. Tang.
After saying goodbye to Yue Sangning, Yun Wu walked into the palace holding a food box in one hand and eating a pie in the other.
"Ugh……"
She sighed and took a bite of the cake, thinking that if she went back to the sea in the future, she wouldn't be able to eat such delicious mortal food.
Yun Wu met Lu Jingzhi before she reached the backyard. The moment she saw him, Yun Wu felt a little guilty.
After all, she was eavesdropping at the study door just now. Later, Jun Song suddenly called her, and she didn't know if Lu Jingzhi inside heard it.
"Little Marquis..."
Yun Wu was still eating the pie, her speech was a little slurred, and she walked two steps over with difficulty carrying the food box containing fish soup.
Lu Jingzhi lowered his head and took the food box from Yun Wu's hand. Yun Wu took another bite of the pie and said:
"Little Marquis, this was given to me by the fisherman girl whom I gave money to buy medicine just now. It's delicious."
"I like fish so much that I asked him to prepare more fish dishes for dinner."
Lu Jingzhi said calmly, carrying the food box and walking at a slow pace. Yun Wu followed him and ate pie. She nodded quickly when she heard this.
She had to eat more while she was still in the palace, but she wouldn't be able to eat in the future.
During dinner, there were indeed a few more fish in the dishes, both braised and steamed.
Yun Wu was still very happy at first, until she saw the maid whom Mr. Tang had placed in the palace again. She gave her a note while passing the bowls and chopsticks to Yun Wu.
Maybe there was a heavy burden in her heart, and Yun Wu felt unsatisfied even after eating, and she felt unhappy.
After finally finishing her meal, Yun Wu quietly returned to the dormitory alone and opened the note hidden in her sleeve.
As expected, Master Tang asked her to steal the account books.
He also specifically wrote that it was an urgent matter, and if he stole the account book back, he would let the little mermaid boy go.
Yun Wu's eyes were moved. As long as she stole the account book back, she could return to the sea with her tribe.
But she thought about it with her toes and knew that Mr. Tang must have done something bad. The secret was in the account books. He was afraid that the young marquis would find out, so he asked her to steal the account books.
If she stole the account book, she would be a bad guy.
"Ugh……"
Yun Wu sighed, skillfully placed the note in the candlelight and burned it, and then hid far away.
It’s really hard to be a good shark...
While the maids here were on their way back to the dining room after clearing away the dishes, the maid Mr. Tang had inserted was walking at the end.
She was thinking about sneaking out of the palace to report to Mr. Tang later, but when she passed a corner, she was pulled away from behind with her mouth covered.
The two or three maids in front were chatting and did not notice that someone disappeared behind them.
Behind the dark rockery in the backyard, the spy maid had been wiped on the neck by Eucommia ulmoides, and Juniper also symbolically covered her with a straw mat.
Lu Jingzhi was hiding behind the rockery. In the dim night, the figures of the three of them could not be seen clearly.
"Little Marquis..."
"Shh."
Jun Song wanted to speak but was interrupted by Lu Jingzhi. He raised his hand to his thin lips and made a silencing gesture.
Because not far away, Yun Wu, wearing an inconspicuous plain dress, was quietly approaching the study.
Lu Jingzhi, Eucommia ulmoides and Juniper hid behind the rockery and saw it very clearly.
Lu Jingzhi's eyes were dark, staring straight at the petite man sneaking towards the study.
There was a little worry in Du Zhong's eyes, then he took a step forward and lowered his voice and said:
"Miss Yun really wants to steal the account books. Young Master, my subordinates will go and catch her right now."
"She just wants to steal an account book, why should she be stopped?"
Lu Jingzhi frowned and turned his head and said displeasedly. Eucommia was choked by his words, but the account books are the most important evidence for the crime of Mr. Tang.
Lu Jingzhi watched Yun Wu walking cautiously attentively. On the way to the study, he accidentally tripped and staggered, almost falling.
"I almost fell down when I walked. It seems that the ground there is not flat enough."
Lu Jingzhi's voice was low, and his eyes looked at Yun Wu with some worry. Fortunately, she didn't really fall on the way over.
The two people behind them, Eucommia ulmoides and Juniper, were stunned.
Yun Wu found that tonight seemed to be particularly smooth, because there was no one around quietly, and it was convenient for her to go to the study to steal the account books.
Lu Jingzhi saw Yun Wu sneaking into the study with his own eyes. He couldn't help but show a nice smile, and then said softly:
"Knowing that it's dark now and she has to change into inconspicuous clothes, she has learned to be smarter and not too stupid."
"Well, then, Mr. Marquis, should we wait for Miss Yun to steal the account book before we go out to arrest her, or..."
Jun Song touched his head and looked a little dumbfounded. Lu Jingzhi turned around and said:
"No need, let her follow her all the way, don't let her notice, so as not to scare her, otherwise she will panic and don't know where to hide. Just protect her secretly and follow her to the county governor's house."
"Yes, Mr. Marquis..."
The corner of Du Zhong's mouth twitched twice and he replied, and he and Jun Song looked at each other.
Oh no, no, their little prince is a love brain, right?
