The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Chapter 8 Family Suspicion

Xie Jingwan hurriedly interrupted her and turned away.

"Okay, go wash up first! We've been busy all morning and we're all hungry. I'll go cook."

"Let's go wash up quickly too."

Lin Fanghai and Lin Qingzhou also quickly turned around and went back into the house.

A hint of hurt flashed in Lin Yuge's eyes.

He stood there for a while before dejectedly walking into the house.

The family ate an unusually quiet breakfast.

Lin Yuge finally couldn't stand the strange atmosphere any longer and shouted, "I have something to say!"

The group paused for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, as if preparing to meet a challenge, he sat up straight, looked at Lin Yuge, and hesitated to speak.

"Ask whatever you want! Ask away!" Lin Yuge urged again.

Xie Jingwan cupped Lin Yuge's face in her hands, looked her up and down, and asked, "You're my daughter, aren't you? Not someone else pretending to be her?"

"Mom, didn't you see the mole at the corner of my eye? Besides, look at the scar I got when I was little, I was so playful and bumped my arm, it's still there!"

"Yes!"

The group gathered around Lin Yuge and examined her closely.

Xie Jingwan pressed on, "Then how did you suddenly learn so much, some of which we've never even heard of before?"

"I just had that dangerous experience, and it felt like my soul floated away and went to a bizarre world where I learned some knowledge."

As Lin Yuge spoke, she silently apologized in her heart.

"I'm sorry, that's all I can say. Don't worry! I will take good care of your family and be filial to them on your behalf. Of course, they are my family now too."

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly felt a lightness all over my body, as if some kind of shackles had been removed.

In a daze, she seemed to see a girl who looked exactly like her.

He nodded playfully at her, said "thank you," and turned to walk away.

"Daughter? Daughter? What's wrong? Don't scare your mother."

Seeing Lin Yuge suddenly freeze, staring blankly into the distance, Xie Jingwan quickly called out.

"Mother believes you. No matter what, you are still my daughter, Xie Jingwan."

Lin Fanghai quickly nodded and said, "Yes! Daughter, it's my fault as your father. I've made you suffer here with me. I just hope you won't resent your father."

Lin Yuge finally came to her senses and realized that she had frightened them.

She hurriedly replied in a low voice, "Dad, Mom, I'm fine. I was just thinking about my past self. Don't worry, I will work hard to become stronger and make our family better and better."

Xie Jingwan patted her head and said gently, "Mother doesn't want you to be so tired. I just hope you can live peacefully and happily every day!"

“Yes, yes, as long as the family is safe and happy, that’s all we need. We don’t ask for anything else,” Lin Fanghai echoed.

Xie Jingwan glanced at him disdainfully and said, "You and Qingzhou get to work! What? You expect me to support you?"

"Mother, I didn't say that, Father said it." Upon hearing this, Lin Qingzhou quickly betrayed her father.

Lin Fanghai could only apologize, looking aggrieved, "Madam, I was wrong. I will definitely work harder so that you can all live a good life!"

Then, glancing at Lin Qingzhou, he added, "Also, keep an eye on Qingzhou and make sure he doesn't slack off."

Feeling the joyful atmosphere of the family, Lin Yuge couldn't help but smirk to herself.

"This is so good! I'll have a family now."

At this moment, Lin Qingzhou turned her head and asked curiously, "Little sister, what else did you learn in that world?"

Seeing the other two's ears perked up, Lin Yuge chuckled and replied, "I've also learned how to build large ships, ships that can go to the deep sea."

"I can't think of anything else, but maybe I'll remember when I need it."

Lin Fanghai pushed his son aside and said eagerly, "Daughter! You really know how to build a boat. Tell your father how to build this boat."

"Dad, why are you pushing me? I want to hear too! Little sister, tell me quickly, what do we need?"

Lin Qingzhou quickly moved closer again.

Lin Yuge gave the two a simple lesson on ship knowledge.

Xie Jingwan stood aside, watching the three of them huddled together in a daze, and couldn't help but shake her head.

"Is there any doubt about that? They're exactly the same."

"Lin family, are you there?" came the village chief's wife's voice from outside.

"Yes, I'm here! Is there anything I can help you with, sister-in-law?" Xie Jingwan quickly got up and replied.

Cai Jinhua said warmly, "There's a market in town today, and the village organized people to go to town to sell fish. Didn't you say the other day that you wanted to buy some things?"

"Let's go, come along."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingwan quickly agreed, "Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I'll call my daughter to come along."

After saying that, she interrupted the conversation between the three people in the room, which was getting into a great mood, and pulled her daughter up.

"Daughter, come with me quickly, let's go to the market."

He then instructed the father and son, "Hurry up and finish the bathtub you haven't finished yet, honestly! Have you even finished your work? Stop chatting idly."

Upon hearing this, the father and son silently turned around and went back to work.

The mother and daughter followed Cai Jinhua to the village entrance.

At this moment, the able-bodied young men in the village walked in pairs, carrying six baskets of fish at the front.

A dozen or so women followed behind, some of them worried about their husbands at home, following their husbands' lead.

Some, like Lin Yuge and her daughter, went to the market in town.

The group walked along the mountain path without stopping for two hours before finally arriving in town before sunrise.

Looking at the ancient town in front of him—Qingshi Town—Lin Yuge thought it truly lived up to its name.

Most of the houses in the town are built of stone and covered with green moss.

The road underfoot was also paved with bluestone slabs.

In the middle of the town, a small river meanders through the town, and a stone bridge connects the two sides of the bluestone road.

The market was located on both sides of the river, with bustling crowds jostling shoulder to shoulder.

The shouts of vendors rose and fell, filling the air with the vibrant energy of everyday life.

The men found a secluded spot and neatly arranged baskets of fish there, waiting for their guests to arrive.

"Sister Cai, let's go and get our things ready."

Xie Jingwan said goodbye to the village chief's wife and took Lin Yuge to a grain store on the riverbank.

As soon as she entered the store, Xie Jingwan went straight to the bags of rice and flour.

"Shopkeeper, how much is the rice?"

When the shopkeeper saw customers coming in, he hurriedly came out from behind the counter.

"One pound of rice costs eight coins. How much would you like, sir?"

Xie Jingwan didn't answer, but continued to ask, "What about the wheat flour?"

"Sir, wheat flour is relatively scarce here, so it's a bit pricey, costing twelve coins per pound."

"Shopkeeper, please weigh out fifty catties of rice and fifty catties of wheat flour for me. I'd also appreciate it if you could deliver them to the stall over there."

After Xie Jingwan finished speaking, she pointed to the fish stalls in the village.

"Alright! Don't worry, sir, it will definitely be delivered to you."

After leaving the grain store, the mother and daughter went to the blacksmith shop.

I bought a large iron pot and a kitchen knife.

Lin Yuge also selected some bowls and plates at a porcelain stall.

There is also a complete set of teacups and a teapot.

Then I went to the general store to replenish all the seasonings and daily necessities that were missing from the house.

Only when they could no longer carry any more did the two return to their stall.

I put the things aside and looked at the baskets of fish. It seemed like not many had been sold in all this time.
