39: Golden Scaled Fish Worth Ten Thousand Gold

Golden Scaled Fish Worth Ten Thousand Gold

However, seeing that Madam Ruan remained tight-lipped, she didn't insist.1

The servants in the room were taken away by Old Master Xia.

He naturally killed them all.

And so, other than waiting for Xia Chuxing to wake up, they had no other way of knowing what happened.

Xia Chuxing was in a state of coma-like sleep. She struggled and cried in her sleep, feeling very agitated.

Xia Chuxing's behavior made Madam Ruan and Xia Churan's hearts ache.

Old Master Xia returned to the study and was evidently still in a rage.

Analyzing Xia Chuxing's incident once again, he also knew that there was something fishy about this matter.

Thinking of Xia Muqing who had just returned, Old Master Xia summoned his personal guard and instructed him to investigate what Xia Muqing had been up to.

At this moment, Xia Muqing wasn't paying attention to the Xia family's situation.

After exacting revenge on Xia Chuxing, she forgot all about her.

Right now, she was instructing the black eagle to catch chickens in the mountain.

As for her, she had prepared a huge spear to catch fish in the river.

The fish in the river were all precious species, and it was obvious that they had been well taken care of by people.

The fish weren't afraid of humans at all and Xia Muqing managed to catch a fish with every aim.

The fish had probably never thought that their fate would be to be eaten eventually.

After preparing the ingredients, Xia Muqing started to grill.

She skillfully set up the grill.

The black eagle stayed with Xia Muqing, watching the chicken and fish on the grill and Xia Muqing.

Its eyes were overflowing with emotions.

It made Xia Muqing's hair stand.

She asked warily, "You want to eat me too?"

The black eagle answered seriously, "Sister, I think you're a feast for the eyes."

Xia Muqing felt a little helpless. Where did the black eagle learn this from?

Without waiting for Xia Muqing to ask, the black eagle chuckled shyly. "Am I very smart? I learned this phrase from the people who came to the back mountain to fight."

"Fight?" Xia Muqing asked curiously.

After the black eagle's explanation, Xia Muqing fell silent.

"I was certain I didn't let them discover me. I've been secretly observing them."

The black eagle promised repeatedly.

It felt even more wrong to hide in the dark and peek.

Looking at the innocent black eagle, Xia Muqing felt that it was better not to taint it.

"Yes, you did very well, but if you see a man and a woman hugging… fighting each other again in the future… don't peek anymore."

Xia Muqing thought about it and decided to advise the black eagle subtly.

The black eagle didn't quite understand, but it still nodded.

Coincidentally, the meat was fully cooked at the same time. Xia Muqing didn't bring up the topic anymore. The human and beast started on the feast.

Someone suddenly barged into the courtyard, and the person walking right in front was the angry Old Master Xia.

Xia Muqing didn't stop chewing. She could guess the reasons why Old Master Xia was here, but she didn't know exactly why.

"Unfilial girl, you—" Old Master Xia started to chide her. Before he could finish speaking, he saw the fish in Xia Muqing's mouth and his eyes almost popped out. "That is a Golden Scaled Fish. One is worth ten thousand gold. You, you, you…"

When he saw that Xia Muqing had five skewered fish on the grill, his heart ached and he clenched his chest.

The black eagle had hidden itself before they came, so Old Master Xia didn't see it at all.

He knew that one woman wouldn't be able to eat so much.

When he realized what was going on, he was even angrier. She can't eat a single one of them.

"How dare you stay in the Xia family's ancestral garden? Do you want to be the ancestor of the Xia family? Get out now!"

Xia Muqing smiled casually. She didn't care about Old Master Xia's rage at all.

"So this is my ancestor's garden. It's quite comfortable here, so I'll stay here for now."

Xia Muqing even turned around to survey the surroundings, looking very satisfied.

"Hmph! Go and throw this rebellious girl out!"
