Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

Chapter 2200: Spring is not too late

【Ming~Chen~Brother~Brother~】

[Tsk tsk, the host is really good~~~]

[What bad intentions could the anchor have? She was just thanking Mingchen for giving her the dagger. Hehe! ]

[So Mingchen giving a dagger to a girl is also very strange~]

The person being called "Brother Mingchen" was slightly stunned. He was the youngest in the huge Ming family, with only two older brothers, and no one had ever called him that before.

But after just a moment, he reacted, pressed his lips and nodded seriously to Shi Li.

"Rest well and set off again when you recover from your illness."

After a pause, Mingchen added, "We have added guards around us, so you don't have to worry about your safety."

These words covered all the aspects that could be thought of, and there was no need for Shi Li to ask anything else. Shi Li didn't know what to say except to thank him again.

Seeing her sick face, Mingchen felt a little sympathy for her and said to her in a slow voice, "When you get better, I will take you to see the real fish in the river."

Shi Li also remembered that she had been deceived by Ming Chen the day before, thinking that she could see the fish in the river from the boat. It can be seen that no matter how mature he is, he is still a playful child.

Shi Li generously decided not to argue with Ming Chen, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

After staying for a while, Mingchen was about to leave, not wanting to disturb Shili's rest and recuperation.

As soon as he walked out, he saw a servant from his family coming over and said in a low and hurried voice: "Third Master, the master is calling you over."

Ming Lian suddenly called him over. Ming Chen felt a little doubtful. He looked around calmly and saw a few horses parked not far away, with a few yamen runners standing beside them.

Mingchen immediately understood what was going on and strode over.

When Minglian came back, he saw him drinking tea with the local prefect. Although the prefect was wearing casual clothes, his outfit was conspicuous.

Mingchen walked over to greet the two. Before Minglian could speak, the prefect asked in a friendly manner, "Where did you come from, Third Young Master?"

"I was just watching the fish by the window with the two younger sisters of the Shi family. When I heard that my father was looking for me, I came here immediately." Mingchen said calmly, without a trace of falsehood.

The prefect's smile remained unchanged, but a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes. He said, "The Third Young Master has a close relationship with the two Miss Shis. He must have been worried yesterday, right?"

"I'm not that worried, but my two sisters are a little frightened." Mingchen answered every question, and his answers were flawless.

"Okay, I asked you to come here just to meet the prefect. There is nothing else for you to do. Please go back." Ming Lian, who had been silent, finally spoke.

Mingchen then pretended not to notice anything, bowed respectfully, and then turned around and walked out again. After he was completely out of the sight of the two, he turned back and took a deep look.

This prefect came with bad intentions.

It seemed as if it was directed at the two young ladies of the Shi family. Every word he said just now was a test.

"It seems that those pirates were indeed lying. I'm glad that the two young ladies of the Shi family are fine." The prefect picked up the teacup and glanced at Minglian.

Minglian just smiled and said nothing more.

This prefect had taken the imperial examination with Shi Mufeng, but he only got the title of Jinshi. Later, he served in the same court and had different political views from Shi Mufeng.

Today he quickly caught the pirates, but he heard from them that Miss Shi was almost kidnapped by them, so he came to spy on the father and son of the Ming family.

Although Shi Mufeng's two daughters were still young, it would not be a glorious thing if they really fell into the hands of bandits.

But Ming Lian, the old fox, made it impossible for him to get any information out of him. Even his son's answers were flawless, as if the pirates were really talking nonsense.

The prefect was unwilling but helpless, and finally had to say goodbye and leave.

Before leaving, Ming Lian said to him quietly, "Since this is something that was fabricated out of nothing, don't let it become a big news in the end. That would be the fault of the prefect."

This is a reminder and also a warning.

The prefect was indignant, but he could only nod and look deeply at Ming Lian, "Ming Lord is right, there will definitely not be any false rumors."

He emphasized the word "untrue" as a final revenge.

Shi Li knew nothing about all this and just lay in bed to recuperate. But on the second day, she received an unexpected guest.

Zhao Qianyue was the only daughter of the prefect. After receiving some instructions from the prefect, she came to visit Shi Li and Shi Yu in person.

It turned out that after returning, Prefect Zhao felt unwilling to give up, so he sent his daughter over again, wanting to spy on Shi Li and Shi Yu again.

Zhao Qianyue was wearing a brocade dress with gold thread. Although she was only ten years old, she was very good at dressing up. When she came in, she took Shi Li's hand and greeted her familiarly.

Finally, he pretended to ask casually: "Why did you get sick out of nowhere?"
