Tang Zhuyun's gaze fell on Qu Nian, and she suddenly asked, "Yingying, don't you think it's a little unhappy?"
Ren Yingying: "Hey, how could that be? I'm here! Shar Peis are born with a crying face, but actually, we Dog Meat are happy! Right, Dog Meat?"
Qu Nian had been patted on the head a few more times, said: I'm not happy, I'm not happy at all! Which eye of yours saw me happy!
Tang Zhuyun still felt that the Dog Meat had a different vibe.
She stared at Shar-Pei for a moment, still quite skeptical.
"Yingying, how did you figure out that the Dog Meat was something you wore?"
Qu Nian: What does "wearing" mean? What did you wear?
These two women always used some strange and unusual terms when they spoke.
They are indeed not of my kind.
Ren Yingying said, "He was there when I woke up, and he even spoke up for me..."
"Speak out against injustice?" Tang Zhuyun didn't understand.
"That's right!" Ren Yingying said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, why would it have killed the rooster at the wedding ceremony?"
"Are you sure it's not just that it wants to eat meat?" Tang Zhuyun said. "I asked around, and there are Shar Peis here too! This Shar Pei has been at Prince of Min's Residence for a while now, even before you arrived."
Ren Yingying: "There are Shar Peis here too? My goodness, Dog Meat! You're a purebred Huaxia dog! Our bloodline is so noble."
Tang Zhuyun: "Stop giving me that, I'm talking about serious matters! I don't think he looks like Dog Meat."
"It's Dog Meat, it must be Dog Meat," Ren Yingying said. "He's so good to me! He follows me everywhere..."
Qu Nian: That's because your strange behavior aroused my suspicion!
"Dog Meat always hangs its head when it makes a mistake, but yesterday it fell into the latrine and came out behaving very well."
Qu Nian: A woman's mouth is a deceitful devil.
We clearly agreed not to talk about it, but now she's bringing it up again!
She doesn't want him to live!
Social death, extreme social death.
The joke about falling into the latrine made Tang Zhuyun laugh for a full three minutes.
Tang Zhuyun then asked Ren Yingying if she wanted to have the birthmark on her face removed.
Ren Yingying waved her hands repeatedly. "No need. What if the prince lives and covets my beauty, and tries to force himself on me?"
Qu Nian: I threw up!
Tang Zhuyun: "Then why don't you break his bow?"
"That's for sure." Ren Yingying was sharpening her knife.
Qu Nian squeezed her legs together: Don't mention it.
"How long have you been here? How is the Prince of Jin? Oh, by the way, how did you learn those oracle bone script characters? I'm illiterate now, do you know that?"
Ren Yingying suspects that Tang Zhuyun has picked up the memories of her predecessor.
Jealousy is just jealousy.
Tang Zhuyun: "I'm self-taught! I've only been here for less than two years..."
So your eight-year-old son lied to me?
"It's true." Tang Zhuyun said irritably.
She recounted the key moments since her transmigration: recognizing her son, the disappearance of the Prince of Jin and her promotion...
"The Prince of Jin faked his death, and you became his princess. I don't believe you two didn't discuss this beforehand." Ren Yingying said with a look of disgust.
Tang Zhuyun: "We weren't familiar with each other back then, discussing... a dog!"
Be civilized and stay away from excrement and filth.
Qu Nian: So I'm guilty?
Ren Yingying: "Are you two truly in love?"
"Nonsense!" Tang Zhuyun puffed out her belly. "Why would I just have his child without even realizing it?"
Qu Nian: What kind of result can this produce?
I suddenly feel a bit sorry for the Prince of Jin. His future legitimate son is not human, yet he has his bloodline. Sigh!
Ren Yingying: "Well, you're something else. You can't find equality in modern times, but you're all excited about male chauvinism now that it's back in the past."
Jealousy completely changed her.
Tang Zhuyun: "Actually, being a widow is quite nice."
This was her unfulfilled dream!
Of course, she doesn't want to now, but she thinks Ren Yingying can take this path!
Although she didn't want anything to happen to Qu Nian, it seemed that even if something did happen to him, her best friend would be doing quite well.
Qu Nian Niannu: How could you, no, you demon, be so wicked!
What did I do to offend you that you're cursing me to die?
Ren Yingying: "Why should I be a widow? Can't I just stay single?"
Tang Zhuyun: "Be realistic! You're already the Crown Prince's wife!"
Ren Yingying scratched at the table. "Ugh, so annoying! Do you think I should go check on Qu Nian? If he can be saved, I should save him quickly and then we should just get a divorce."
Tang Zhuyun said, "That would naturally be the best, but it basically depends on thinking."
She now understands the rules of this society very well. According to Ren Yingying, her grandfather was only a third-rank official with no real power, and her father had only managed to get a seventh-rank official position by donating money. The Ren family could not help her much.
It's too difficult for her to fight against the system on her own.
The reason she was still able to do so was because her father, brothers, and the Prince of Jin had shielded her from too much pressure.
Ren Yingying: "Then I'll rely on you! Or maybe I should ask the Prince of Jin to take me in..."
Don't even think about it!
"Haha, I don't care!" Ren Yingying laughed. "I have enough Dog Meat!"
"It just fell into the latrine."
Qu Nian: "... Get out!"
Ren Yingying: "It's my own dog, I won't mind!"
After joking around for a while, Tang Zhuyun shook her head. "Forget it, let's not think about those difficult things. Let's take it one step at a time and discuss it later."
"Exactly! It's the New Year, let's talk about something happy," Ren Yingying said. "Tell me more about you and your man."
Qu Nian: What's it to you? Isn't it a bit much for you to get to know another man?
"Great, absolutely amazing, so great it's beyond reproach." Tang Zhuyun boasted to the heavens.
"Real?"
"Really!" Tang Zhuyun said with utmost sincerity.
Ren Yingying: "Did you tell him the truth about yourself? Your background?"
Tang Zhuyun nodded. "I did."
Qu Nian was greatly shocked: The Prince of Jin actually knew that Tang Zhuyun was not the original person, and he even accepted her?
Isn't this aiding and abetting a tyrant?
Any sympathy I had for the Prince of Jin of Jin vanished completely.
The Prince of Jin is playing with fire and will get burned. When did he become so blinded by lust that he has reached this point?
Qu Nian was speechless.
Ren Yingying gave a thumbs up. "True love conquers all! Come on, let's interview you, Prince of Jin, how many times a night? What positions did you unlock?"
Qu Nian almost spat out a mouthful of dog blood.
Tang Zhuyun: "... What's it to you!"
"Give me some material! I could have a side business even in ancient times!"
She could continue writing erotic fiction!
Did people in ancient times ever encounter BL (Boys' Love)? Let her experience it!
She'd heard that the Prince of Jin and the Heir to the Prince of Min had some connection? She had an idea!
