They wouldn’t have known if they hadn’t investigated, but when they did, they were really shocked. On the surface, the Lu family was famous for being kind and had given out many porridge meals during every natural disaster.

However, he had also done many evil deeds in private. Most of everyone here knew about it, and it wasn’t just the Lu family’s son doing them.

The Lu family’s elder and butler had relied on a great aunt of the Lu family in the capital to rob the people here of their businesses and cut off their income over the years.

After the Third Prince received the news, he had a headache because the great aunt of the Lu family was the Empress’s aunt. Also, the great aunt was also the wife of a second-grade official, and she wasn’t someone he could simply deal with.

Thus, he submitted a memorial and reported the evil deed the Lu family had done to the Emperor. He later sent someone to the county government to settle the Lu family here.

At the same time, the land in the village was distributed to the villagers accordingly.

The messenger set off for the capital with this memorial.

Five days later, the Emperor received the Third Prince’s memorial.

His expression turned ugly when he found out that the Empress’s people had planned to assassinate the Third Prince.

The Third Prince guarded the north and east of the country. What was the Empress thinking by causing trouble at this time? Did she want to break the balance that he had painstakingly established?

After that, he informed the Empress about this matter. As for how to deal with the Lu family’s great aunt, he left it to her to do as she saw fit.

When the Empress found out, she cursed inwardly about the Lu family’s dumbness.

She also knew that she had angered the Emperor this time, so she had no choice but to take away Great Aunt Lu’s mandate and ground her for a month.

Ten days later, the Third Prince’s group arrived at a large canyon and looked at the steep stone walls on both sides.

Before the Third Prince entered the canyon, he ordered his men to stop and set up camp by a small river.

He also sent people to the mountains on both sides to see if there were any ambushes. He did not believe that these assassins would attack only once.

After settling down, Zhou Ying looked for Gu Chengrui and asked, “Should we go to the river to see if there are any fish? If there are, we can have something more substantial for our meals.”

Gu Chengrui knew that she wanted to go out and walk around. Honestly, he was also a little tired after rushing all the way. He nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go find the captain and ask for a basket.”

After saying that, the two of them went out.

When he returned with a basket, he happened to bump into the Third Prince. After understanding his purpose, the Third Prince also followed them to the river.

The river was wide but not deep, with the water only reaching Zhou Ying’s waist. The fish inside the river could be seen with their naked eyes.

The Third Prince looked at the small fish in the water and asked, “These fish look so small. Can they be eaten?”

“It’s a kind of freshwater white-striped fish. It doesn’t grow big, but it’s still delicious after frying them.” Zhou Ying broke the stale bread left from lunch into small pieces and put them into the basket.

Zhou Ying pulled off the scarf on her head, covered half of the basket, and went into the water.

Seeing this, the Third Prince shook his head and did not speak again. Instead, he sat on a rock and looked up at the mountain.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying spread her spiritual senses into the water. Sure enough, there was no bigger fish, with the biggest fish nearby being a catfish that weighed about one pound.

She wasn’t picky, so she quickly used her spiritual senses to chase the fish and prawns into her basket.

Gu Chengrui discovered that crayfish were also by the river, so he went to the side to catch them.

Zhou Ying had already caught half a basket’s worth of small fish in a short while, and to prevent the Third Prince from noticing that something was amiss, she left the river.

Although some of it escaped when she came out of the water, there were still five pounds of small fish and prawns. There were even a few loaches and eels mixed in, which made her smile with satisfaction.

Gu Chengrui saw that she was carrying the basket and immediately ran over to take a look. “What a great harvest! Here, put the crayfish in the basket as well..”
