Xiu'er: "What? How did you manage to be so successful? And then how did you ruin your reputation?"
Tang Zhuyun: "... The moment you mention melons, you start jumping around. Hold on tight to your Guagua!"
Xiu'er: "Isn't that what I'm doing? It won't take any longer."
Please, Your Highness, elaborate!
Tang Zhuyun said, "Let's talk about Mingzhu first. We can discuss gossip later."
"Oh, don't forget later."
Qu Nian: I want to know! Don't dogs have the right to know?
"System, get out here!"
The system yawned. "What?"
Last night, we had a meeting that lasted until the wee hours, criticizing him for not meeting his KPIs. He was really desperate!
It's like a system instructing a person, but it's instructing a dog, and a stubborn one at that, that simply won't listen to instructions.
I want to become a human!
"Being an adult is difficult; my suggestion is that you sacrifice yourself for a noble cause."
Qu Nian:???
Is the dog system no longer behaving like a human?
Is he that unimportant?
It used to be a suicide threat system, now it's being used against us by the system?
The system says, "That's how it is."
A new host, the next one will be better!
Qu Nian: "... Fine, you're ruthless!"
Wait, a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years.
The system said, "Forget it, let's coexist peacefully. I'm telling you, there are no shortcuts. The only way is for you to fall in love with Ren Yingying."
Qu Nian: "I might be able to tolerate 'going up,' but there's absolutely no way I could like it!"
System: "The host's intentions are improper, corrupting the youth. Three electric shocks as punishment. Severe warning!"
Then Qu Nian got all pricked up and started jumping around on the ground.
Tang Zhuyun: "Yingying, what's wrong with your dog?"
Ren Yingying hurriedly comforted Qu Nian: "Dog Meat, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I didn't intend to find you a stepfather! That's all in the past. Didn't we fail to find one for you?"
Qu Nian: Get out!
Tang Zhuyun looked at the Dog Meat and felt a little strange.
She stroked her chin thoughtfully, and after a while said, "Yingying, don't you think the Dog Meat seems more human-like than before?"
"You've always been intelligent; you just didn't understand before." Ren Yingying hugged the Dog Meat to her arms, saying with heartache, "You scared my little darling! Oh, your poor little thing. How could I abandon you? Men are just extras; you're my real son!"
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
Xiu'er said, "Strictly speaking, Princess Consort, you've already found a stepfather for Dog Meat, haven't you? Doesn't the Prince count?"
Qu Nian: I'm numb.
The "I am my own father" series...
Don't try to reason with him about these things; he just wants to hear the story of those eight men.
Why did he suddenly become the ninth son?
However, the women stopped talking and started discussing whether or not Mingzhu should get the treatment.
Qu Nian: Is there any point in deceiving yourself?
Do you really think Wu Zhenhai will never find the truth in his lifetime?
Haha, what a naive woman.
You have to understand, that's the woman Wu Zhenhai has slept with countless times!
How incredibly stupid must he be to have failed to notice?
It's just a matter of time.
In comparison, the Prince of Jin was much smarter.
He said he wasn't in a hurry, but he was actually more anxious than anyone else.
Why else would he be so eager to introduce his sister to Cui Run?
Why is he in such a hurry? Isn't he afraid that Wu Zhenhai will find out and cause further trouble?
If Mingzhu is willing, Prince of Jin will certainly be willing to arrange their marriage immediately.
These women are brainless; they don't think things through at all. Humph!
Thinking this, Qu Nian suddenly felt that his intelligence was unparalleled and he wouldn't bother arguing with these women.
Mingzhu lowered her eyes and said, "I'm at a loss myself. I don't want to lie to him, but I also don't want this to become a permanent thorn in his side."
Xiu'er said, "I don't know how to say it. Anyway, if it's Song Jingyang, I'm willing to tell him."
Tang Zhuyun: "I probably won't hide it."
In this particular matter, Mingzhu was actually forced into it.
Ren Yingying: "I stand by my opinion, all men are big pigs. They only care about the result, whether you are or not; they don't care about the process!"
She had never met anyone like Prince of Jin or Song Jingyang, nor did she dream of such things.
--She has ruined so much of her reputation, sigh, a lifetime of bitter tears.
Mingzhu said, "In that case, I'll think about it some more."
Xiu'er said, "Yes, go back and think about it. No matter the outcome, we will definitely support you and won't laugh at you."
Tang Zhuyun smiled and said, "The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; that's certainly true."
Ren Yingying said, "The time has come to test my skills! Will I be able to make a fortune from this in the future?"
Tang Zhuyun rolled her eyes and said, "I bet you only have one target customer."
"Who?"
"Qu Hua!"
Qu Nian jumped up and down: Can't you say something that will make the dog happy?
Thinking of his troublesome sister made him even more upset.
The key is that these women, rambling on and on, somehow managed to steer the conversation back to the topic of the eight men.
It's infuriating!
Qu Nian thought to himself, "I'll have to force her to reveal this sooner or later. If I don't, I'll expose Ren Yingying!"
Forget about these women, he's going to find Prince of Jin.
Now might be a good time to get the Prince of Jin to help him.
Thinking this, Qu Nian jumped down from Ren Yingying's arms and walked straight outside.
"Dog Meat, where are you going!" Ren Yingying said.
Xiu'er said dismissively, "He must have gone to find the Prince."
Dog Meat was about to jump over the threshold when he heard this and almost tripped and fell on the threshold, hurting his back.
--This Xiu'er knows everything!
Does she have superhuman eyesight and superhuman hearing?
On his side, he practically suggested that the Prince of Jin send her to the army as a spy, as this would be invariably successful, and there would be no information she couldn't find out.
Tang Zhuyun asked, "Looking for the Prince?"
Xiu'er said, "Yes, we were looking for the Prince. For a while, I noticed that the Prince's outer study was always closed, and I even thought he was hiding a woman there!"
Tang Zhuyun: "... Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Let me tell you, wouldn't that hurt our feelings? I checked it myself first, and then I found that I had misunderstood Your Highness."
Others keep mistresses in golden houses, while princes keep dogs in golden houses.
Xiu'er felt she couldn't continue to doubt, otherwise it would be an insult to the Princess Consort.
Ren Yingying: "How come I didn't know! Tangbao, what's wrong with your man? He has both a son and a daughter, and he's still trying to steal my son!"
If this Dog Meat gets closer to someone else, her own mother will be so jealous she'll die of jealousy!
Tang Zhuyun felt that something was amiss.
When did the Prince of Jin begin to associate with animals?
Aside from Xiao Ye's bird and Racing Thunder's BMWs, and even Eighth Master who's practically a half-baked one), what animal has ever been close to Prince of Jin?
Besides, why would Dog Meat go to Prince of Jin?
She hadn't thought much about it before, but looking at Dog Meat's expression today, she felt like she had missed something.
However, she couldn't rely on Ren Yingying's carelessness in this matter, so she planned to discuss it with Prince of Jin when she had time.
Something's not right.
Qu Nian was complaining to the Prince of Jin.
It quickly scribbled on the rice paper. "Your days are numbered."
Prince of Jin: "Not much time left? It's better than you being angered to death at any moment."
