Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Then, something happened that made Cui Laner even more regretful.

Her father was beating her barefoot, and she ran so fast that she didn't look at her feet and stepped on a cage containing several wasps.

The cage broke and the wasp flew out.

As soon as it flew out, it stung her father in the face. Her father didn't have time to cry out in pain. There were a few hornets in the cage that couldn't fly out. They were not stepped on to death, but they were frightened and stung her father's feet fiercely.

His father let out a yell and fell on his butt.

The maids and servants came over to help her, but she was busy catching wasps to avoid hurting others and didn't have time to look.

When she locked up the wasp and went to see her father again, her father's eyes were swollen to the point that only a slit remained.

"What a sin, what a sin! Why did I give birth to a thing like you? You won't stop until I torture your father to death. I'll beat you...hiss..."

The corners of her father's mouth were also swollen. When he started scolding her, it hurt and tears came out from that slit. He was such a grown man, but he almost had a runny nose.

And the foot that was stung was so swollen in just a short while that it couldn't fit into the shoe.

Cui Lan'er's eyes twitched and she secretly retreated to the door.

Based on past experience, the situation this time was more serious and she had to find a place to hide for a few days.

So she came to the base early and was about to ask Sister Li if she could take her in for a few days when Xiao Chenze arrived.

She pricked up her ears and heard Xiao Chenze asking Sister Li where he got the centipede that poisoned the Queen.

I was so nervous that my heart was beating in my throat.

Shen Li said to Xiao Chenze without even hesitating, "I fed it myself, why are you asking?"

Cui Lan'er felt relieved and clapped her hands, saying, "Sister Li, you are so thoughtful. We are good sisters."

Xiao Chenze said, "The man in black who was captured with Miergan has never confessed. He's such a skilled martial artist, yet the jailer discovered he's afraid of insects. Since you have some poisonous centipedes, could you give me two to take back with me?"

Are martial arts masters afraid of insects?

The world is really big and full of strange and bizarre things.

"I only have a few mature ones, and they were all given to the Queen. If you want them..."

Shen Li glanced at Cui Lan'er who was squatting not far away and pretending to play with a dog. Censor Cui was an honest man. When his wife was alive, she was frugal and managed the household well. She had accumulated a few small shops, and the family lived a pretty good life.

Ever since the lady passed away, neither father nor daughter had the talent for running a business, and the family's situation had deteriorated. Didn't you see Cui Lan'er coming over every day, always bringing the same few pieces of clothing and jewelry? Fortunately, this girl was open-minded and neither servile nor overbearing, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to survive in the circle of young ladies from official families in the capital.

Shen Li thought for a moment and said to Xiao Chenze, "We have a few more at home that are almost mature. Raising them is not easy. Poisonous insects are quite hard to find. If you are not careful, you will get poisoned. The herbs for treating the wounds are quite expensive, and there are so many manpower and material resources. If the eldest prince really wants them, he will have to spend money to buy them."

Cui Lan'er's heart was lifted again.

Oh my god, her father always picks on her and beats her for raising those messy things, but he never thought that they could be sold for money one day!

Xiao Chenze knew that Shen Li was talking about negotiating conditions for a long time. It would be good if she wanted money, but it would be the most difficult if she didn't want money.

"Okay, I'm willing to pay for it. How much is it?"

"Hmm..." Shen Li quickly calculated in her mind. Cui Lan'er nervously pinched the wolf cub's paw, making the wolf cub howl. "I'll give you a discount. Ten taels of silver for each."

thump.

Cui Lan'er fell to the ground with a thud, almost crushing the wolf cub.

black.

I didn’t expect Sister Li to be so dark.

Ten taels of silver, oh my god.

She dug it up from the suburbs, so it didn't cost anything.

Sister Li is really bold in lying. She's feeding poisonous insects, and spending money on medicinal materials, manpower, and material resources to treat poisoning. Tianlai didn't expect that Sister Li has such a side to her. She lies right in front of the eldest prince.

I took a quick look at the eldest prince, what was his expression?

Laugh? Or laugh out of anger?

Cui Lan'er was unhappy.

What a joke.

Sister Li said ten taels, so it’s worth ten taels!

The ten taels are given out of consideration. Do you want the dog's love?

Cui Lan'er patted her butt guiltily and climbed up, avoiding everyone's gaze, afraid that others would see how excited she was.

She brought her maids and servants to the suburbs to dig up insects, both poisonous and non-poisonous. Some died while she was raising them, so she threw them to the centipedes to eat. Seeing that the centipedes were fine after eating them, she tried to increase the poison content, deliberately dipping the insects in arsenic as a seasoning and feeding them to the centipedes.

Still not dead? Try dipping the insect in arsenic, roasted and ground scutellaria baicalensis, oleander juice, aconitine juice, and so on.

Some centipedes couldn't bear it and died, while others came back to life after suffering for a few days. After they came back to life, they were given more poison, and what's more, they became even more poisonous.

She really didn't spend any money to buy them. She raised them all by herself. Oh my God, a centipede cost ten taels of silver. Her father's monthly salary was not as expensive as a centipede. She was rich.

Xiao Chenze laughed for a long time before stopping. His voice sounded very happy. "Only ten taels of silver? Okay, I want five. How long will it take to raise them for me?"

Five pieces? Fifty taels? Just give it to me?

Cui Lan'er's eyes widened, she swallowed hard, and stretched her ears towards them.

Shen Li glanced at her out of the corner of her eye. It seemed like she should still have some at home, otherwise she would have waved her hand long ago. So she said, "I have to go back and take a look at the situation. I can't give you a guarantee until it's time to leave the nest."

Out of the nest?

Xiao Chenze wanted to laugh more and more.

What if this is a cat or a dog?

Shen Li continued, "It shouldn't take a few days. Once it's healed, I'll send someone to take it to the Grand Prince's Palace..."

"Three days, I'll come get it myself," Xiao Chenze said, "Go to the Shen Mansion? The General's Mansion? Or here?"

Cui Lan'er poked the ground in front of her with her finger, and Shen Li understood, "This time three days later, it will be here."

"Okay, it's a deal," Xiao Chenze said, "Payment on one hand, delivery on the other."

"It's a word."

After Shen Li finished speaking, she glanced at the black mastiff walking with Lang Qing in the distance, and said to Xiao Chenze, "Let the black mastiff go to your house to accompany Lang Qing for a few days. Just bring it back when you come to get the centipede."

Xiao Chenze nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to say a few more words, Shen Li started to send him away. "Does the eldest prince need anything else? If not, please go back. I'm too busy today and don't have time to greet you. Let's talk again when the weather is right."

Xiao Chenze swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Everything was fine just now, why did you chase people out after buying a few centipedes?

Shen Li ignored him, pretended to chase the wolf cub, and ran away.

Cui Lan'er quickly withdrew her gaze and followed Shen Li.

……

That night, Cui Lan'er followed Shen Li and Fang Mingwan to the general's mansion.

When Lan heard that she was going to stay here for a few days and was afraid of being beaten by her father if she went home, she quickly took her hand and said, "Go ahead and stay here. Stay as long as you want, even for life. I'll have someone tell your father later. He doesn't have time to take care of you, so you can stay here peacefully."
