Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 421: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 17

Yun Wu suddenly became nervous, but Du Song didn't seem to notice that she was eavesdropping.

"The guard outside the palace reported that a fisherwoman named Yue came to see you, young lady. But is she someone you know?"

Du Song touched his head and said with some confusion. Yun Wu was stunned for a moment, then she remembered.

Isn’t the fisherman named Yue Yue Sangning?

At the gate of the palace, Yue Sangning, who had just returned from the sea, changed into clean clothes and carried a food box to the palace to find her benefactor.

Yue Sangning originally wanted to climb over the wall to get in, but then he thought about it and was afraid of being discovered like last time, so he decided to just wait at the door and wait for someone to come in and report.

After a while, she saw her benefactor coming. She was wearing an apricot dress and had beautiful features. She was really beautiful.

"Miss Yun."

The guard at the door saluted Yun Wu respectfully, then retreated to the door.

Yue Sangning quickly opened the food box and showed Yun Wu the plate of pancakes and a bowl of fish soup inside as if he were presenting a treasure.

"My benefactor, these are fish-stuffed pancakes made by my grandmother. They are so fresh and delicious. Also, there is fish soup made from the fish that was just caught this morning."

"smell good……"

Yun Wu smelled the food box, and her eyes lit up immediately. She picked up a pancake filled with fish filling, took a bite, and said vaguely:

“It turns out there are so many ways to cook fish.”

"Of course, Liangzhou City has the most fish. I will bring you delicious food made in different ways every day. Thank you 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.

She would have to run away sooner or later, otherwise if she was discovered secretly passing messages to Lord Tang, she would end up in a miserable state.

After saying goodbye to Yue Sangning, Yun Wu walked into the palace carrying a food box in one hand and eating a pie with the other.

"Ugh……"

She sighed and took a bite of the cake, thinking that she would not be able to eat such delicious mortal food when she returned to the sea.

Yun Wu met Lu Jingzhi before she even 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, and then Du Song suddenly called her, and she didn't know whether Lu Jingzhi inside heard it.

"Little Marquis..."

Yun Wu was still eating a pie, her speech a little unclear. She took two steps forward with the food box containing fish soup with great effort.

Lu Jingzhi lowered his head and took the food box from Yun Wu. Yun Wu took another bite of the pie and said:

"Young Marquis, this is what the fisherwoman who I gave money to buy medicine gave me. It's delicious."

"Since you like fish so much, I'll have someone prepare a few more fish dishes for dinner."

Lu Jingzhi said lightly, carrying the food box and walking at a moderate pace. Yun Wu followed him and ate a pie. Hearing his words, she nodded quickly.

She should eat more while she is still in the palace, otherwise she won't be able to eat in the future.

At dinner, there were indeed a few more fish in the dishes, both braised and steamed.

Yun Wu was originally very happy until she saw the maid that Lord Tang had placed in the palace. When she handed the bowl and chopsticks to Yun Wu, she slipped a note into her hand.

Perhaps because she had a heavy burden in her heart, Yun Wu no longer enjoyed her food and felt depressed.

After finally finishing her meal, Yun Wu quietly returned to her bedroom and opened the note hidden in her sleeve.

Just as she guessed, Lord Tang asked her to steal the account book.

He also wrote that it was a matter of utmost urgency, and that if the account book was stolen back, the little mermaid boy would be released.

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 knew with her toes that Lord Tang must have done something bad, and the secret was in the account book. He was afraid that the young marquis would find out, so he asked her to steal the account book.

If she stole the account book, she would be a bad mermaid.

"Ugh……"

Yun Wu sighed, skillfully placed the note in the candle flame and burned it, then hid far away.

It's so hard to be a good mermaid...

The maids here were on their way back to the kitchen after cleaning up the dishes. Among them, the maid sent in by Lord Tang was walking at the end.

She was just thinking about sneaking out of the palace to report to Lord Tang, but unexpectedly, when she passed a corner, someone covered her mouth and pulled her away from behind.

The two or three maids in front were chatting and didn't notice that someone disappeared behind them.

Behind the dark rockery in the backyard, the spy maid had been stabbed in the neck by Du Zhong, and Du Song even symbolically covered her with a straw mat.

Lu Jingzhi hid behind a rockery. In the dim night, the figures of the three of them could not be seen clearly.

"Little Marquis..."

"Shhh."

Du Song wanted to speak but was interrupted by Lu Jingzhi. He raised his hand to his thin lips and made a gesture of silence.

Because not far away, Yun Wu, wearing an inconspicuous plain dress, was quietly approaching the study.

Lu Jingzhi, Du Zhong and Du Song were hiding behind the rockery and could see it very clearly.

Lu Jingzhi's eyes were dark, staring at the petite person walking stealthily towards the study.

Du Zhong showed some worry in his eyes, then he stepped forward and lowered his voice:

"Miss Yun really wants to steal the account book, young marquis, I will go and catch her right away."

"She just wanted to steal an account book, why stop her?"

Lu Jingzhi frowned and turned away and said unhappily. Du Zhong choked and said, "But the account book is the most important evidence to convict Lord Tang."

Lu Jingzhi stared intently at Yun Wu as she walked towards him cautiously. She accidentally tripped on her way to the study and almost fell down.

"I almost fell down when I walked. It seems that the ground there is not flat enough."

Lu Jingzhi's voice was low and he looked at Yun Wu with some worry in his eyes. Fortunately, she didn't really fall on the way over.

Upon hearing this, Du Zhong and Du Song behind him were completely stunned.

Yun Wu found that tonight seemed to be particularly smooth, because it was quiet and there was no one around, which made it convenient for her to steal the account book from the study.

Lu Jingzhi saw Yun Wu sneak into the study room with his own eyes. He couldn't help but reveal a beautiful smile, and then whispered:

"She knows that it's getting dark now and she needs to change into inconspicuous clothes. She has learned her lesson and is not too stupid."

"Then, then young marquis, should we wait until Miss Yun steals the account book before we catch her, or..."

Du Song touched his head and looked a little dazed. Lu Jingzhi turned around and said:

"No need. Have someone follow her all the way and don't let her notice, so as not to scare her. Otherwise, she might panic and not know where to hide. We just need to protect her secretly and follow her to the county governor's mansion."

"Yes, young marquis..."

The corner of Du Zhong's mouth twitched twice and he replied, and he and Jun Song looked at each other.

Oh no, oh no, could it be that their young marquis is a love-brained person?
