The Crown Princess is busy fishing

"Master, it's Miss Lin!"

The lead ship approached.

Lin Yuge looked up and saw Xiao Yunqing in military uniform leading Mo Nan off the ship.

Xiao Yunqing's eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and concern.

He quickly walked up to Lin Yuge, "Yuge, are you alright?"

When Lin Yuge saw Xiao Yunqing, a strange sense of peace welled up in her heart.

She shook her head slightly.

"I'm fine, Yun Qing, what are you all doing here?"

Xiao Yunqing said, "We tracked the pirates to this area of ​​the sea."

"Hearing that something was wrong here, I brought people over to check it out. I didn't expect to run into you."

Lin Yuge felt a pang of worry when she thought of Lin Qingzhou.

"Yunqing, my older brother just swam over there, I need to go find him first."

Xiao Yunqing quickly stopped her and instructed Mo Nan to send someone to look for her immediately.

Lin Yuge also rowed the boat toward the shore.

Once ashore, she anxiously searched the shore.

Xiao Yunqing stood beside her and gently comforted her, "Yuge, don't worry too much."

"My men will find your brother as soon as possible."

Lin Yuge nodded slightly, but her worries remained undiminished.

Soon after, the people who had been sent out returned one after another.

However, none of them brought back any news of Lin Qingzhou.

Lin Yuge's face grew paler and paler, and she couldn't help but walk towards the sea again.

Xiao Yunqing stopped her again.

"Yuge, don't worry, let's expand the search area, we'll definitely find him."

He immediately dispatched more men to search further along the coastline.

Time ticked by, and every moment of waiting made Lin Yuge anxious.

Just when she was almost in despair.

Finally, a soldier ran over to report that Lin Qingzhou had been found by a reef in the distance.

Lin Yuge was overjoyed and hurriedly followed the soldiers.

I saw my older brother sitting on the rocks, resting safely and unharmed.

Lin Yuge's eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly ran forward.

"Big brother, you scared me to death."

Lin Qingzhou smiled and comforted her, "Little sister, I'm fine, don't worry."

The group returned to their moored position, and the ships that had gone to chase the pirates also returned one after another.

"Sir, we caught him, but the henchman got away."

A soldier came to report.

Xiao Yunqing frowned. "One got away?"

"Forget it, let's take the people we caught back and interrogate them thoroughly. We must find the ledgers."

The soldiers took the order and left.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuge couldn't help but exchange a glance with her elder brother.

She hurried back to the boat.

He pulled the ledger out from under a pile of things and handed it to Xiao Yunqing.

"Yun Qing, is this what you're looking for?"

Xiao Yunqing took the ledger, her eyes instantly sharpening.

He quickly flipped through the ledger.

He examined the contents of the document more closely, his expression growing increasingly grave.

"Yes, this is it. This ledger is very important to us."

He looked up at Lin Yuge and asked, "How did you find it?"

Lin Yuge then recounted how the two of them had discovered the treasure hidden in the cave.

Xiao Yunqing and his group looked at the brother and sister with strange expressions.

Mo Nan burst out laughing.

"Miss Lin, do you know how long we've been chasing these people?"

"Who would have thought that you would stumble upon them so easily and even discover their treasure trove?"

"I don't know if your luck is good or bad."

Lin Yuge rolled her eyes helplessly.

"I don't want this kind of luck; I almost lost my life."

"But thank you for arriving in time."

She glanced at the sky and urged, "Come on, I'll take you to find those things."

"My brother and I have to go back quickly, or there will be even more serious consequences."

Xiao Yunqing frowned slightly, and asked with some doubt, "Is there something else?"

Lin Yuge quickly shook her head and gave an awkward smile, "It's nothing!"

Lin Qingzhou was a step behind, before she could react.

She replied, "Mother forbids my younger sister from going to sea, but we lack the money to build a ship."

"We were just thinking of sneaking out to catch a few fish, but who would have thought we'd run into pirates again?"

Lin Yuge turned around and frantically winked at him.

Nothing could stop him from wanting to say it all at once.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up and grit their teeth to face this socially awkward situation.

Xiao Yunqing saw her embarrassed and helpless expression and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He quickly reassured her, "Don't worry! I'll keep your secret."

"However, you should not go out to sea during this period."

"The pirate who escaped knows you. It would be troublesome if he came back to take revenge."

"I will send people to investigate their background as soon as possible, and bring them all down to eliminate the hidden dangers completely."

Lin Yuge felt a lingering fear when she thought about the close call.

"Well, we won't be going out for now. This small boat is still a bit inconvenient."

"Once my ship is launched, I won't have to worry about these things anymore."

As they spoke, the group arrived at the cave, and Mo Nan and the others went forward to check all the boxes one by one.

"Master, the numbers don't match up. This should only be a small part."

Xiao Yunqing was not surprised to hear this.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows; we should have thought of that earlier."

He calmly ordered, "Take inventory of these items and bring them back. The rest of you continue the investigation!"

Seeing that they had nothing more to do, the brother and sister suggested leaving.

"Yun Qing, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

"and many more."

Xiao Yunqing stopped the two and called Mo Nan over to whisper a few words to him.

Mo Nan accepted the order and hurriedly left.

A moment later, he handed a box to Lin Yuge.

Lin Yuge looked at the box curiously and gently opened it.

Inside, there was a neatly stacked stack of silver notes.

Her eyes widened immediately, and she looked at Xiao Yunqing with a puzzled expression.

Mo Nan smiled and explained, "Miss Lin, Young Master Lin, you've really done a great service this time!"

"Leaving aside the treasures, that ledger alone was a great help, saving us a lot of trouble in our next operation."

"These silver notes are a special gift from our master to express his gratitude."

Lin Yuge quickly waved her hand and said anxiously, "This is unacceptable. We really didn't do anything special."

"We just happened to encounter those situations on the island and then told you about them."

"It was nothing, I can't possibly accept such a generous reward."

Lin Qingzhou quickly chimed in, "Yes, Prince Yun, thank you so much for saving me and my little sister."

"We really can't accept this money."

Xiao Yunqing took the box and put it on Lin Yuge's head.

"Take it! This is what you deserve, don't refuse."

Lin Yuge was still somewhat hesitant.

"But... this is too much."

"It's not much, your contributions deserve this much. Consider it my way of thanking you."

"If there is anything else I need your help with in the future, I hope you will not refuse."

Lin Yuge and Lin Qingzhou exchanged a glance, and in the end, they accepted the box.

The brother and sister immediately took their leave.

Arriving at the boat, Lin Yuge looked at the fish on her boat.

I glanced at the sky and realized I probably wouldn't make it to deliver the fish to Dawankou in time.

Bringing these fish back home would be difficult to explain to my mother.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly told her older brother to carry the fish down.

He gave Xiao Yunqing, who had followed him, an awkward smile.

"Yunqing, keep these fish for everyone to have a nice meal. It's inconvenient for me to take them home."

Xiao Yunqing was slightly taken aback, then nodded knowingly.

"Then thank you very much for the fish, Yuge."

He then smiled and instructed Mo Nan to escort them back.
