Chapter 41 Boiled into Fish Soup

Situ Jing saw that Shui Ling'er gave him a long fork so fast, and he obviously wanted him to shoulder this responsibility. Fang Yu was his subordinate, and he didn't dare to complain about him, but he didn't let Shui Ling'er go easily, he said, "Shui Ling'er, dare to do things."

Situ Jing handed the long fork holding the fish to Shui Ling'er and said, "You have to go and confess your mistake to Fang Yu."

"But—but—" She couldn't imagine what Fang Yu, who usually treated her gently, would look like when she got angry.

"With me, Fang Yu won't do anything to you."

Shui Ling'er nodded understandingly, and after pulling the fork from the red fish, she walked out of the Caiwei Pavilion with the red fish in both hands.

She had only walked for a while when she met Xiao Rou, who was carrying a food box, and Rong Ye beside her.

Shui Ling'er turned sideways with a weak heart, used her body to protect the dead red fish, and said with a smile: "Princess, what a coincidence, I met you here."

Rong Ye saw the red fish she was holding in both hands not far away, and said unhappily, "Why are you holding that fish secretly?"

Xiao Rou sneered and said, "Princess, she must take it to stew soup so that it can be cooked for the prince to eat." Look at that red fish is huge and fat, and it must taste good when stewed in soup.

Rong Ye snorted coldly and said, "Are you going to flatter in front of the prince and deliberately show off to me?"

Shui Ling'er hurriedly shook her head, she didn't dare to say that she was going to take the corpse of the red fish to admit her mistake to Fang Yu.

Rong Ye walked around her and said, "Even if you ask, it's a vain question, you won't admit it." She snatched the red fish that Shui Ling'er was holding in both hands, and said, "I'll stew fish soup for the prince to eat, it's better than your stew." After saying that, she ran away with Xiaorou.

Shui Ling'er stood in place and shouted, "You're back!" In fact, she wanted to eat the fish more than apologize to Fang Yu, so on the surface, it seemed to stop Rong Ye, but she let her snatch it.

Shui Ling'er thought that she would be able to drink fish soup soon, and walked back to Caiwei Pavilion with a joyful humming song.

Situ Jing was already sitting on the stone chair in the courtyard waiting for her, he saw that she was in a good mood and was humming a song, he said, "Fang Yu didn't embarrass you, right?" After all, Fang Yu treats Shui Ling'er well, he knows.

Shui Ling'er sneered, Situ Jing mistakenly thought that she was Fang Yu's shyness, and said unhappily, "Don't have any strange thoughts about him."

Shui Ling'er shook her head and said innocently, "No." When she saw Ziyi putting all the grilled fish on the plate, she happily sat on the stone chair next to Situ Jing and said, "Brother Jing, the grilled fish should be eaten while it is hot." She picked up chopsticks and picked up one and ate it.

Situ Jing looked at her weak heart, and couldn't help sulking, and when she was full, he would interrogate her well.

Half an hour later, Ziyi came to report, "Lord, madam, the princess wants to see the prince outside the door, saying that she brought food to the prince."

Situ Jing was about to refuse, but before he could speak, Shui Ling'er had already opened her mouth excitedly and said, "Let her come in."

Although Situ Jing was suspicious of Shui Ling'er's motives, he still asked Ziyi to bring Rong Ye and Xiaorou in.

Rong Ye and Xiao Rou walked up to Situ Jing, saluted respectfully, and said, "Lord Wang, be well."

Situ Jing nodded expressionlessly.

Xiao Rou saw that Shui Ling'er was still sitting on the chair, and she didn't even make a move to get up, so she said unhappily, "Mrs. Shui Ling'er, don't you get up to salute the princess?"

Rong Ye chuckled and said, "Xiaorou, my sister doesn't understand etiquette, so that's it." She thought to herself that if she did this, Situ Jing would definitely think she was generous.

Situ Jing said lightly: "From now on, Shui Ling'er is in the king's mansion, so there is no need to salute."

Rong Ye was stunned, glared at Shui Ling'er, and said, "Lord Wang, this will break the rules, my sister can teach her if she doesn't know etiquette, but she can't be connived at not having to salute."

Situ Jing looked at Rong Ye coldly and said, "Is this the king's mansion, or your palace?"

Rong Ye lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "It's your mansion, lord." So it is mainly based on the words of the prince.

Ziyi took the food box from Xiao Rou's hand and put the dishes and soup in it on the table.

Shui Ling'er smelled the fragrance of the fish soup, happily pulled Situ Jing's sleeve, and said, "Brother Jing, I'm hungry, eat first."

Situ Jing looked at Shui Ling'er and said with a smile, "Okay."

Rong Ye saw Situ Jing's affectionate eyes, and felt angry in her heart, but she suppressed it, walked to the table with a kind face, personally spooned a bowl of fish soup in front of Situ Jing, and said softly: "Lord, you can taste the fish soup I cooked with my own hands."

Situ Jing frowned and said, "Fish soup?" He watched Shui Ling'er happily holding a bowl of fish soup.

He said to Rong Ye solemnly, "Where did this fish come from?"

Rong Ye thought that Shui Ling'er had complained to Situ Jing that she had robbed her of her fish, and she said calmly: "Lord, I saw my sister serving the prince hard, so I took her fish and stewed fish soup for you to drink on her behalf, please forgive me."

Situ Jing said sternly, "You robbed her of her fish?"

Seeing Situ Jing's gloomy face, Rong Ye couldn't help but be afraid, lowered his head trembling all over, and said, "Yes."

"You have no one in your eyes, and you dare to grab Shui Ling'er's things?" Did she forget that Shui Ling'er had him behind her, or didn't take him seriously.

Rong Ye and Xiao Rou hurriedly knelt down, and Rong Ye begged, "Lord Wang, I am considerate of my sister to do this, please forgive me."

Situ Jing said coldly, "Ziyi, send the princess out."

"Yes." Ziyi walked to Rong Ye's side and said respectfully, "Princess, please."

Rong Ye pursed her lips, got up and saluted, then turned around and walked towards the door, Xiao Rou followed her quickly.

After Situ Jing saw her leave, he turned his head and saw Shui Ling'er drinking fish soup, and there was already half a pot left in the pot on the table, he slowly spoke, and said coldly, "Shui Ling'er, is the fish soup delicious?"

Shui Ling'er didn't think much about it and said, "It's delicious, and the fish is also delicious." After she finished drinking, she put down the bowl and turned her head to look, just in time for the fierce eyes of her boss Tu Jing.

She smiled and said, "Brother Jing, the fish soup is only delicious while it is hot." She picked up the bowl and fed Situ Jing a rare fish soup.

After a while, Shui Ling'er saw that the bottom of the bowl was empty, and innocently asked, "Brother Jing, is it delicious?"

"Hmm." Situ Jing put the bowl in Shui Ling'er's hand on the table next to him, and said solemnly, "Shui Ling'er, didn't I want you to apologize to Fang Yu?"

Shui Ling'er said innocently: "I have thoughts, but the fish corpse has been snatched away, and I have to see people in my life, and I have to see corpses in death, and so do fish, so if I go empty-handed, Fang Yu will definitely not believe it."

"Crooked." Situ Jing stared at Shui Ling'er for a moment and said, "It's obvious that you are greedy, so you deliberately let Rong Ye snatch it away."

Shui Ling'er was told the central matter, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Brother Jing, I heard that Steward Chen said that you are going out today, why don't you go out yet."

Situ Jing hooked the corners of his mouth, pinched her cheek lightly, and said, "You are safe, wait for me to come back."

"Hmm."

After Shui Ling'er saw Situ Jing leaving, she hurriedly pulled the purple clothes and ran to the back wall of King Jing's mansion.

Ziyi wondered, "Madam, what are you going to do? The prince said that he would wait for him to come back in Caiwei Pavilion."

Shui Ling'er climbed up the fence and said, "I'm going to find the red fish and return Fang Yu." Bi Jing was the one who killed the fish, and she was responsible.

"When the prince returns, I'll go with the prince to find it."

"No, I'm the one who is wrong, and I'm responsible." She had already climbed out of the fence as soon as she finished speaking.

Ziyi had no choice but to climb out.

After the purple clothes landed, she pulled Shui Ling'er and said, "Madam, go back."

Shui Ling'er said willfully, "Don't." Although she mainly came out to find red fish, she actually wanted to go out to the market.

Ziyi had no choice but to follow her, saying, "Madam, be careful, don't let the prince see it." At that time, King Jing will not do anything to Shui Ling'er, but he will definitely ask her for sin.

Shui Ling'er nodded perfunctorily and happily went to the market to play.

Half an hour later, Shui Ling'er was holding food in both hands, and Ziyi also helped with a few foods, and Ziyi said worriedly, "Madam, let's go back." When it was discovered, it was suffered.

"No, the shopkeeper told me just now that there are a lot of red fish in the creek on that mountain." Shui Ling'er pointed to the hill not far away.
