My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2495

2495 Young Master Mu’s Hasty Decision

“Xingchen.” Mu Jingrui walked onto the deck and saw Mu Xingchen, dressed in white, standing by the railing. The latter was watching a boat in the distance.

“Seventh Uncle, look at this route. Is Younger Sister also heading toward the capital?”

“Evidently yes,” Mu Jingrui said with a smile, “Don’t think too much for now. We can have another talk with this stubborn little fellow once we reach the capital.”

Mu Xingchen smiled and gave a nod. He fingered his wrist, seemingly able to sense his blood pulsating.

Was this the sensation of having a bloodline connection?

“Seventh Uncle, we must have a proper conversation with her this time.”

“Mhm.” Mu Jingrui cracked a bitter smile. “I have discovered after so many interactions with her. You cannot take an overly hard stance toward the little lady. The harder your stance, the more she’ll become like pricky cactus. She definitely leave you swollen all over.”

Mu Xingchen looked at his seventh uncle speechlessly.

“Why is that boat from the Qin Estate following Qiaoqiao?”

“Who knows.” Mu Jingrui shrugged nonchalantly. “It doesn’t have anything to do with us. We’ll be able to dock in another half day.”

“Seventh Uncle, you’ve left for a long time already this time.”

“That’s right.” Mu Jingrui sighed emotionally. “I have to report to the old sir upon getting back. It’s troubling.”

The uncle and nephew chatted leisurely and watched as numerous schools of fish circled around that government boat.

This situation had persisted for a good few days.

The schools of fish would gather around the government boat around this hour at dusk every day.

The little lady was going to come out from the cabin in another half an hour to collect the fish.

The two of them no longer wondered at this strange sight, but they were still at a loss for words.

The little lady had been collecting fish the entire journey. She had probably collected a third of the fish in Weixi River these past few days!

“Qiaoqiao must like eating fish.” The gears in Mu Xingchen’s head started turning. “I remember that Grandpa has a pond of jade lake moon carp. Qiaoqiao will definitely be happy getting them as a gift.”

Mu Jingrui looked silently at his eldest nephew in stupefaction.

Hey, Young Master. Before making this hasty decision, wouldn’t it be best for you to first ask the old sir, the person in question!

Mu Xingchen had made up his mind just like this. He mulled over using what method to collect all the jade lake moon carp in the pond to give to his younger sister.

***

She stood solemnly in front of the railing as if she was about to summon wind and rain. She silently watched the schools of fish getting collected into the storage talisman.

She looked at the Weixi River again. Thank you for supplying me with so many different kinds of fish. The Orchid Sea is no longer lonely at long last!

The aquatic products here were truly plentiful!

She had lost count of how many schools of fish she had collected along the way.

Speaking of which, should she dive to the bottom of the river and see if there were even more abundant plants and the like?

After giving this some contemplation, Qiao Mu decided to let it rest. It was better to be a bit more low-key.

After collecting the fish, Qiao Mu hopped onto the Qin Estate’s boat on routine business for that fifth young sir’s treatment.

After this last round of treatment, she could completely say goodbye to this fussy and nitpicky fifth young sir.

She truly had never seen such a nitpicky man. It wasn’t like he was a young lady. She had to cover his wrist with a handkerchief before taking his pulse, and if she accidentally brushed his skin with her fingers, he would react like she had taken liberties with him. He would glare at her accusingly while also saying mean things to her.

If it wasn’t for Physician Chang later paying another three million in consulation fees, she would’ve flung her sleeves and walked out!
