When the veterinarian arrived, there were several maids in the room, and they all saw him.
Qu Nian now wants to kill him to silence him.
Ren Yingying: "Dog Meat, don't be so dejected! The doctor said you're fine, you can still stand up straight!"
Qu Nian: You're in trouble. I'm about to kill you.
Several concubines joined in for a mahjong game, and everyone laughed and had a great time.
Ren Yingying: "Eight bamboos! Do you know that I just spent one tael of silver to find some quack doctor, and he actually used needles to prick Dog Meat..."
Qu Nian covered his ears with his front paws.
I won't listen, I won't listen, you're just spouting nonsense.
He estimated that the entire household would soon find out that he was a useless dog.
Thinking about it this way, he didn't complain so much anymore—after all, he and the dog were hurting each other and ruining each other's reputations.
"System, get out here!" Qu Nian said angrily.
This damn system only gave him a couple of treats; most of the time it was electric shocks as punishment.
He needs to ask it properly what it really wants to do.
"If you don't come out, I'll kill myself!" Qu Nian used the methods she despised the most: crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
The system is frozen.
Qu Nian wanted to bang his head against the wall, but he really couldn't do it, even though he was trembling with anger.
System: Successfully played dead.
Qu Nian: I'm dead.
Ren Yingying was still discussing the "life-long affair" of Dog Meat with her concubines.
At this moment, the Hua Cha, which Xue Lie had been longing for, finally Hua Cha up.
"Your Highness, I think it might be that Dog Meat is still young and hasn't grown up yet?"
Ren Yingying: "No, the doctor just tested it, and it's grown up."
Qu Nian, unable to bear it any longer... rushed out!
Whatever, out of sight, out of mind; if I don't hear it, it's as if nothing was said.
He needed to get some fresh air in the corridor to calm down.
Ren Yingying drew another tile, "Oh dear, self-draw, self-draw, time to win! I'll take another look later, I bet Dog Meat is a looks-obsessed guy."
"Castrated dog?"
Qu Nian only caught this one word.
He gritted his teeth and went back.
No, even if he decides to give up entirely, he still has to be a complete... dog!
The threat of castration won the Poisonous Woman Ren!
Chaos and turmoil were not limited to the Prince of Min's Residence.
Huaishang also received the letter from the Prince of Jin at almost the same time.
He grabbed the letter and ran outside. "Mother, I'm leaving, I have important business to attend to!"
Madam Yao, feigning illness. "You bastard, come back here right now!"
Huaishang dashed out like a gust of wind.
Mianmian rested her chin on her hand. "My cousin doesn't want to see me."
Madam Yao intended to bring the two of them together, and even used the trick of feigning illness to have Huaishang, hoping to create an opportunity for them.
Unfortunately, Huaishang is like an insulator; no matter how you try to recharge it, it's useless.
Seeing this, Madam Yao said dejectedly, "Mianmian, why don't we just forget about it? Your aunt's back is getting so sore from lying down."
Mianmian said softly, "I think we can try again. But you don't need to pretend to be sick anymore..."
Madam Yao immediately sat up. "Right? I also think this approach won't work. Good child, do you have any other ideas?"
Mianmian: "I don't have a solution..."
Madam Yao: "... Sigh!"
"But I have money." Mianmian's voice was even softer.
Madam Yao: "You want to buy this bastard? Fine, sell him!"
The plan to trick Huaishang into buying him a wife back then was flawed.
--Anything that costs money, Huaishang already feels uncomfortable with.
If that's the case, why not do the opposite?
Madam Yao: "How about this, I'll say I'm in debt and ask him to figure out a way!"
Mianmian: "... He still has 30,000 taels in savings."
"Thirty thousand taels?" Madam Yao was shocked. "You little puppies really know how to drag things back to their den! But how did you know? I had no idea."
Mianmian: "He told me that he didn't need money, so he didn't need to sell himself to me."
Madam Yao said, "How can I not believe it? Does he still have that kind of integrity?"
Mianmian disagreed, saying, "My cousin certainly has integrity; otherwise, how could he have saved so little money after following the prince for so many years?"
Madam Yao shook her head upon hearing this. "The Prince of Jin is an exception for him."
Is it true love too?
That can't be right.
Mianmian: "I think my cousin is a good person. He loves money, but he earns it honestly."
Madam Yao: "Mianmian, what misunderstanding do you have about thirty thousand taels? That's a huge sum of money! It's Prince of Jin who gave too much!"
Yes, it must be for this reason, not some random homosexual relationship.
Mianmian: "Oh. But I still want to try."
Madam Yao smoothed her hair. "Come, tell me, how do you want to try?"
Mianmian: "The day before yesterday, my elder brother asked someone to bring me 100,000 taels of silver, telling me not to suffer in the capital... I was thinking, if I gave this silver to the prince, would my cousin be happy?"
Madam Yao: Oh dear, my little darling, how can you love so humbly and foolishly!
"No need, you can keep it for yourself," Madam Yao said. "I'll figure something out."
Mianmian, however, was somewhat skeptical. "Madam, is it really possible?"
Madam Yao patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I've got it covered!"
"You have an idea?"
"I've got it! Ideas don't just come out of nowhere, do they?"
"Tell me about it?"
Mianmian couldn't believe it!
Madam Yao: "Speaking of which, it was the Prince of Min's Residence that gave me the inspiration. If they can bring good luck through marriage, so can we!"
Mianmian: "..."
"Pretending to be sick isn't enough, pretending to be dead is fine!" Madam Yao said, "I'll make it even more serious, I'll make him marry you so we can have a marriage of convenience to bring him good luck."
Mianmian shook her head, her big eyes filled with rejection.
"No, Auntie, please don't do that. I'm just as good as you, and my cousin doesn't have anyone else in his heart. He'll definitely like me. I'm so rich!"
Madam Yao: "Yes, you have money."
"I'll take my time." Mianmian's eyes were full of determination. "I can do it!"
Madam Yao: Keep up the good work! The road ahead is long and arduous!
But you've unlocked the secret to the miser's heart—wealth! You can do it!
Prince of Jin and Tang Zhuyun's party continued their journey.
"We need to hurry, we can't celebrate Yanran's birthday on the road," Tang Zhuyun said.
While it's understandable to procrastinate a bit, this level of procrastination is truly astounding.
"But your health must be taken into consideration," said the Prince of Jin. "There is wind and snow today; let's rest for a day and continue our journey tomorrow."
They have now arrived at a town called Yangqu, which is considered the most important town on the northwestern frontier.
After passing Yangqu Town, you enter the Northwest completely.
However, the Northwest is too vast; it will take about ten days to reach the border town.
If we calculate the time, it should be more than enough to make it to Yanran's birthday.
"Mother," Yanran entered cheerfully, carrying a plate of roasted meat, "Look what I bought from outside! Red willow roasted meat, it smells so good! Father, Mother, Sister Xiu'er, come and have a taste! I still need to go and call my brother to come and eat!"
Tang Zhuyun teased, "Have you finished your task for today?"
The little one was relatively quiet throughout the journey, as she spent most of her time busy with her special mission.
