Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 258 Expand

The people brought by the princess continued to catch Ling fish.

The longer time passed, the uglier her expression became.

How could that be? It was clearly here. The last time she saw the mermaid and Gu Qingyuan together was near here. Logically, the mermaid should be nearby.

"Your Highness, would you like to continue?"

They followed her out in the middle of the night, and now it was almost dawn and they still had nothing to show for it.

However, it was not a complete failure. After all, in addition to the mermaids that the princess mentioned, they also caught some fish and shrimps, as well as garbage thrown into the water by the people.

"Forget it, that's it for today."

The princess' words made the people around her who came with her breathe a sigh of relief. That was great, they could finally go back and rest.

"Then what should we do with these things?" Someone pointed to the things they had fished out of the river on the ground.

The princess glanced at the ground and said, "Throw away the garbage, and take back the edible things."

The fish and shrimp they caught were enough for them to have a good meal when they returned.

The group left in disappointment.

Lingyu was sitting on the tree, almost falling asleep. When he heard the footsteps of those people leaving, he slowly opened his eyes.

gone?

Then he can finally go back.

These people messed up his house and took away his food. How hateful!

The ling fish jumped down from the tree, walked to the river, and then jumped into the water.

In the water, his legs slowly turned into a fish tail, allowing him to swim.

When he thought about going back with his benefactor, he couldn't help but swim happily in the water.

Although he was reluctant to leave this place where he was temporarily living, it didn’t matter. Where she was was his home.

He has never seen his parents and doesn't know whether they are still alive.

He was bullied by other marine creatures since he was a child because of his half-human, half-fish appearance, which made those marine creatures think he was a monster.

Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but when he went to look for the carp, he saw that the place was empty.

His eyes widened and he swam over.

No way, those people also took away the fish he prepared for his benefactor?

On the way back, several people yawned, but when they thought about the large amount of fish they brought back tonight, which would allow them to have a full meal and improve their lives, they couldn't help but smile.

But there was only one person who seemed a little out of place compared to this group of people with happy faces.

"Don't tell anyone what happened today, okay?"

If other people knew that there were mermaids in the river, they would probably catch them before them.

The men nodded quickly. They borrowed the fishing net just to catch some fish to try.

Besides, it is not certain whether the mermaid exists or not. They only heard the princess say it exists, but have never actually seen it.

Even after she returned, the princess was still thinking about the mermaid.

She took a look at where Gu Qingyuan lived and had an idea in her mind.

Yes, doesn’t the mermaid care about her?

If she uses Gu Qingyuan as bait, the mermaid will definitely appear.

Why would she have to do it herself then?

Humph, she will see the mermaid again sooner or later.

……

After knowing that the princess wanted to capture him, Ling Yu did not show up. This made Gu Qingyuan feel strange. Didn't Ling Yu want to come to her every day? Why did he stop in the past few days?

However, what matters now is the task at hand.

Because the princess found her and said that a batch of materials had been used up and she needed to go to Xiancheng to purchase some.

She said sincerely, "I heard about a relatively strong building material when I was in Xiancheng. Could you take someone there to buy some?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to pay for this batch of materials. After you buy them, I will report to the Queen Mother and ask her to give the money back to your Gu family."

It concerns the people of southern Xinjiang, and according to the princess, that batch of materials is very important and can protect the houses of the people of southern Xinjiang to the greatest extent, so that they will not collapse when hit by water like before.

Gu Qingyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will be back soon with my men."

"That's great!" the princess urged.

"There's no time to lose. Let's get going. The sooner we complete our mission, the sooner we can return."

Originally, Gu Qingyuan didn’t think there was anything wrong, but the princess urged her so eagerly that she felt a little suspicious.

Why was she so anxious to let him leave?

Before she had time to think about it, someone called her over.

The princess watched her leaving figure, secretly calculating in her heart.

She wouldn't really hurt Gu Qingyuan. After all, they came out together this time. If something happened to Gu Qingyuan, someone would definitely suspect her first.

She just wanted to get Gu Qingyuan away. When the time came, the mermaid wouldn't be able to see her and would get anxious and show up on her own.

By then, the mermaid will be easy to catch.

This time, not only did she solve the problem in southern Xinjiang, but if she could also bring the mermaid back with her, she would have made a great contribution.

After Gu Qingyuan was called over, she found out that the roof of a citizen's house was leaking and she was asked to go over and fix it.

She was a little amused and thought it was a big deal. She climbed up quickly, blocked the leak, and climbed down again.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu. Thank you, Young Master Gu."

The family kept thanking her.

"fine."

Gu Qingyuan clapped his hands and instructed them, "If it rains again, check to see if it's still leaking. If it's still leaking, follow my instructions and fill it up with a mixture of yellow mud, straw, and lime."

"Okay, okay, we remember."

After dealing with the affairs of this family, Gu Qingyuan took a few people to Xiancheng.

It’s also because it’s close to southern Xinjiang, so I can come back quickly.

Gu Qingyuan set off that afternoon.

Ling Yu didn't know that Gu Qingyuan had gone to Xiancheng. He only remembered that she said she would come to find him, so he waited eagerly for her to come.

But she didn't come on the first day.

The next day, and the day after, Lingyu still didn't see her.

"Big liar, woo woo woo."

Lingyu couldn't help crying in the water. She had agreed to come and see him, why did she break the appointment?

Even if she is busy during the day, she should be free at night when she rests.

He's really going to make a scene!

Just then, an unfamiliar female voice came from above his head.

"I know you're in there."

The Lingyu did not go out immediately, but drilled back into its own hole.

"Don't worry, I didn't come here to hurt you, but I have something to tell you."

The princess wasn't sure if he was there, so she continued talking to the water.

"Have you not seen the woman you care about these days? Do you want to see her again?"

"She's in danger now. If you don't show up, you won't be able to see her again."
