Chapter 276: Pray for your own blessings

Also, with the degree to which Jiang Shi treasures Du Mingzhu, how could she possibly be at ease letting her daughter travel far away alone? She must be accompanying her by her side.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky, and both mother and daughter were abducted by water bandits.

If it weren't for Du Mingzhu ruining her face, with her previous beauty, she probably would have already become the mountain wife of the Short-Legged Tiger.

Du Ruo was feeling pity when the system suddenly spoke again, stuttering, "That, Host, this system has another discovery, I don't know if it counts as useful or useless."

"Tell me about it."

"It's like this, this system also detected that this woman has traces of intercourse within forty-eight hours..."

Du Ruo's footsteps paused.

Intercourse isn't strange, after all, she's that age, and not unmarried.

But forty-eight hours?

She counted on her fingers, that's not right!

Let's assume, Jiang Shi was reluctant to part with Scum-Beauty before setting off, and the couple had a round.

Then Jiang Shi set off by boat from Wutou Xian, and was hijacked halfway to the Moyu Village. This process would take at least two days at the fastest, which is forty-eight hours.

Let's just say she was rescued right after she entered the bandit's den.

Counting from when she got on this broken ship late last night until now, it's almost noon, which is about ten hours.

Adding it up, Jiang Shi should have left the Du mansion nearly sixty hours ago.

"Little System, are you sure you didn't detect it wrong?"

"Please put away your suspicion, Host, that is a blatant insult to this system!" The system snorted coldly. "This system is a super-strong system from the Trial Planet, the ancestor of all systems, it is absolutely impossible to make such a low-level error!"

Is that so...

Du Ruo touched her chin.

Since there was no detection error, then things are getting interesting.

Could it be that Scum-Beauty also followed, and the couple was locked in the dungeon of Moyu Village together, and then the novel environment stimulated their desires, and the two couldn't help but play poker?

If that's the case, where is Scum-Beauty? Was he killed?

The more Du Ruo thought about it, the more she felt this brain hole was a bit perverted. Scum-Beauty and Jiang Shi shouldn't have such big hearts, after all, their daughter Du Mingzhu was watching from the side.

And Scum-Beauty, as a government official, cannot leave his jurisdiction at will without an order from his superiors.

Then there is only one possibility—someone gave Scum-Beauty a green hat!

Who could it be? A water bandit or some other man?

Du Ruo turned her head and looked at Jiang Shi meaningfully.

Interesting, interesting, really interesting.

I wonder what reaction Scum-Beauty will have when he finds out the truth? She is quite looking forward to it...

Just as she was lost in thought, someone walked toward her, and she almost bumped into them.

"A'Man." That person called out.

Du Ruo knew who it was without looking.

She didn't like Xiao Liangchen very much right now, and she was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she walked toward the cabin where she lived on her own.

Xiao Liangchen, however, chased after her without any awareness, his expression worried. "A'Man, your complexion is not very good, are you okay?"

Du Ruo rolled her eyes and turned back.

"First, please call me Sister-in-law Jiang."

"Second, I'm fine, but I don't know if Young Master Xiao is okay."

"A great person like Young Master Xiao, who is full of righteousness, sees injustice on the road, and helps with his mouth, is really rare to see these days. However, I'll kindly remind you, a hero saving a beauty doesn't necessarily have a good ending, you'd better pray for your own blessings."

After finishing, she didn't wait for Xiao Liangchen to react and walked away.

Xiao Liangchen was a bit confused.

What hero saving a beauty?

After standing blankly for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Could it be... A'Man is jealous, blaming him for stepping in to save that veiled girl, which is why her attitude toward him is so bad?

Jealousy, which also proves that A'Man still has him in her heart?

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Liangchen's heart suddenly thumped, as if a rabbit was hidden inside, feeling both happy and anxious, and also having an unstoppable sense of guilt.

No, that's not allowed!

A'Man is already a married woman, he cannot still harbor improper thoughts about her, this will not only ruin himself but also harm A'Man!

Xiao Liangchen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

Then he turned sideways into the cabin next door and began to pack his luggage.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but ponder Du Ruo's words.

Saving people is a good thing, why pray for my own blessings?

The ship finally arrived at the Fengyang Prefecture ferry at noon.

The ship captain asked everyone to wait first, while he went to report the case to the government, and they could only leave after the official recorded their statements.

Everyone was very cooperative.

Except for Jiang Shi and her daughter, who insisted on getting off the ship and leaving first.

The crew member in charge of guarding was helpless, so he had to threaten them with a fierce face, "No, before the official comes, no one is allowed to leave, otherwise you will be arrested as accomplices of the water bandits!"

Jiang Shi, however, was not scared.

Her husband, Du Ren Mei, is a county magistrate, and he is the one who manages these legal provisions. Having been influenced by him for many years, how could she not understand?

"No need to intimidate us, we are hostages, we are victims, not water bandits, everyone can testify to this. With so many witnesses and material evidence, it doesn't matter if we two are missing. Even if the official comes, it will just be a few words of comfort, and giving us a few hundred coins for travel expenses to send us home. And these, we don't need."

"Also, please remember, you are not the government, you have no right to detain us!"

"Let us go immediately, otherwise don't blame me for going to the Ya Men to sue you later!"

The crew member finally let them go.

He couldn't not let them go, they were already using the government to pressure him.

Du Ruo stood on the deck, watching Jiang Shi and her daughter leaving while supporting each other, and smiled obscurely.

No rush, if she exposes their identities now, they won't admit it.

They might even bite back.

After all, except for her, no one at the scene knew Jiang Shi and Du Mingzhu.

But it doesn't matter, a good show is not afraid of being late.

What should come will come.

Half an hour later, the ship captain returned, followed by a large group of government soldiers wearing armor and carrying horizontal swords at their waists.

The leader was a tall, burly man with a black face, looking fierce and very majestic. ===== CHAPTER 277 =====
