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

Fang Jitao burst out laughing at Cui Lan'er's words, covering his eyes and saying, "Okay, don't cry. Things haven't reached the point of no return. Daddy hasn't come back, and things haven't been finalized. The Emperor won't force a marriage without Daddy's consent, and Daddy won't arrange this marriage without Cousin Li's consent. Don't worry, I'll tell Grandfather when I get back, and have him send someone to tell Daddy."

The two girls stopped sobbing and looked at Shen Li, who was sitting on a mound in a daze, hugging the black mastiff's neck.

After a while, Zhu Yi ran over, "Master."

Since Fang Jitao's injury recovered, Fang Yao assigned Zhu Yi to Fang Jitao to be his personal bodyguard.

"Master, I just overheard my cousin talking to the dog. She asked it what prisoner it was trying and whether it had found anything. I found it strange, so I listened a few more times. All I heard was the big black dog barking. In the middle, I heard my cousin say the word 'Third Prince', but nothing else. I listened for a while longer, but it was still just the big black dog barking. I was afraid my cousin would misunderstand me as eavesdropping, so I returned."

Several people looked at Shen Li.

Fang Mingwan and Cui Lan'er also remembered something. "There's something strange. Those dogs seem to really understand what Sister Li says, and Sister Li seems to understand what the dogs say, too."

Fang Jitao laughed again when he heard this, and couldn't help but reach out and flick Cui Lan'er's forehead. "What are you thinking about, girl? You are so silly."

Cui Lan'er's face turned red.

He covered his forehead, which was hurt by the bullet, and muttered softly, "If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. Who am I calling stupid?"

Fang Jitao teased her deliberately, "Of course you're stupid. Your father was planning to burn all those insects and bees you kept in the backyard. If Grandmother hadn't sent someone there just in time, they'd probably all be reduced to ash by now. Your father said we don't have to burn them, but that you should take back all the money you earn from dog training as rent. Otherwise, he'll throw them all away and you can raise them wherever you like."

When Cui Lan'er heard this, she felt angry and aggrieved.

Dad is so unfair.

He obviously enjoyed the things she kept in the backyard when he had nothing else to do: honey to eat, snakes to relieve fever, and occasionally roasted dead birds. He benefited from her so much, but just because he accidentally stepped on a wasp cage and got stung by a wasp, he blamed it all on her.

After being warned by Madam Fang not to hit her, he forced her to pay the venue fee. Fortunately, he was still an imperial censor. Is there such a black-hearted imperial censor?

She hid her hand in her sleeve pocket, tightly grasping the fifty taels of silver she had just earned, and quickly calculated in her mind.

The dog trainer could earn three taels of silver every month, but she didn't buy any headwear or new clothes, so the three taels was not enough for her to spend.

I had originally intended to use the money to buy lizards and poisonous snakes that I had coveted but couldn't afford before. But now, since my father wants them, I'll negotiate the price with him. I'll just give him two taels and I can spend the remaining one tael on myself.

As for the fifty taels of silver she had just earned, she had to keep it for buying insects. She would never let her father know about it, or he would find a way to snatch it away from her.

Ok, deal.

Fang Jitao watched Cui Lan'er's face change from surprise to sorrow, and she secretly stretched out her fingers to count, not knowing what she was counting. At the end, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if relieved of a heavy burden, and reached into her sleeve pocket and grasped something as heavy as a stone.

"What is that? Take it out and let me see it," Fang Jitao pointed at Cui Lan'er's sleeve pocket and said with a deliberately stern face, "You're so mysterious. Bring it here. Otherwise, I'll go tell your father that you don't plan to keep those things in the backyard anymore and let him deal with them on his own."

"You're talking nonsense," Cui Lan said anxiously, horrified. "You can't talk nonsense. My dad will take it seriously. If you do something bad and let my dad burn all my little ones..."

She was so sad and upset that tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"I won't live in your house anymore. You bully me, wuwuwu, and you even make fun of me for not being smart enough, wuwuwu..."

The more I cry, the more wronged I feel.

She had never been very smart, and from childhood to adulthood, she had been laughed at and teased by countless girls in the capital. Finally, Sister Li and Fang Mingwan were so nice to her, and she thought that everything would be fine from then on. She never expected that even a good family like the Fang family would have a bad guy like Fang Jitao who would come out to bully others.

She took out the silver ingot that had been squeezed so hard that it made her sweat, and sobbed with a pursed mouth, "This is the silver I just earned. It wasn't stolen or robbed. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Li and the others. I'll have someone cut it into pieces later and return the money you spent on staying at your house these days. Then I'll go back home. Woo woo woo, I'll tell Sister Li right now..."

After she finished sobbing, she was about to leave. Fang Jitao was so scared that he quickly grabbed her arm and said with a smile, "I was just teasing you, you took it seriously. Don't worry, if your father doesn't allow you to raise those things at home, you can bring them all to my house. Really, I'm not afraid. You can raise them in my yard. I've specially cleared out a piece of land for you. It's enough for you to raise as many as you want."

"Okay, okay, stop crying. I was just teasing you. If you don't believe me, ask my sister. Am I that kind of person who bullies others? You even paid me money to live in my house. Do you want my mother to beat me to death? I was just kidding you, but you took it seriously. Okay, I won't tell your father. You can live in our house as long as you want, even for the rest of your life."

Cui Lan'er had been crying very sadly, but after hearing Fang Jitao's words, especially seeing him scratching his head anxiously, she couldn't bear it, and with tears still in her eyes, she stopped crying.

"Who would live in your house forever? It's your in-laws who would live there forever."

"Then just treat my family as your in-laws' family. It's okay. At worst, I can marry you."

Cough cough cough cough.

Cui Lan'er was choked by her saliva and almost couldn't breathe.

Fang Mingwan and Zhu Yi were stunned and looked at Fang Jitao in shock.

Fang Jitao touched his nose uncomfortably, his neck even reddening. "What are you looking at? A man's word is as good as his bond. I'll marry you, as long as I say it."

He stole a glance at Cui Lan'er, who was coughing loudly, and said awkwardly, "My brain isn't very good either. I don't like people who are too calculating or too smart. People like this who are silly are just right. I like them. So what?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, as if something was chasing him. Zhu Yi was so fast that he could hardly catch up.

……

Xiao Chenze sat in the pavilion. Xu Yang, who had just returned from the military dog ​​base, was kneeling on one knee. "Master, Miss Shen said you pretended to be a playboy out of necessity. I didn't expect she knew you so well. If we didn't know that the people who heard her words wouldn't pose any threat to you, Master, we wouldn't dare let her stay there any longer."
