Censor Cui was stunned, his mind confused, and he focused on Cui Lan'er's words "grandmother". "What did you say? Madam Fang asked you to call her grandmother?"

"Yeah, didn't she tell you when she sent someone over?"

"No, she adopted you as her goddaughter?" Censor Cui asked curiously.

If he adopted her as his granddaughter, would that make him Madam Fang's godson? Would that make him General Fang's sworn brother?

Oh, that’s good.

General Fang's family are all righteous. If he recognizes the old lady as his godmother, he feels that he can hold his head high.

"Goddaughter?" Cui Lan'er frowned and thought for a long time, but she couldn't remember them saying that. She shook her head and said, "I didn't adopt a goddaughter."

"Why would you call me grandma if you haven't adopted me as your granddaughter?"

"How would I know? Anyway, that's what the old lady said, and that's what I call you, too. I've been calling you that since the day I arrived at the general's mansion. Grandma and the general's wife also prepared a lot of gifts for me, which I like very much. When Daddy comes to my yard later, I'll give him one."

It's either a bracelet or clothing material. I believe daddy wouldn't like it either.

"No, are you trying to scare your father?" Censor Cui couldn't figure out how the grandmother came from if she wasn't a goddaughter. He thought it was possible that his daughter was afraid of being beaten and deliberately said it to scare him. So he frowned and said, "Dad hasn't said anything about you yet. You raised so many messed up people. The queen was seriously poisoned this time and almost died."

"I heard that even if the poison is removed and he is saved, the wounds on his neck and legs won't go away. The Queen and the Second Prince are now searching everywhere for where those bugs came from. Just wait and see, if they find out you keep so many of these things, won't the Queen break your legs? She's a vindictive person, be careful she might poison you in retaliation."

Cui Lan'er shrugged and turned to walk towards the backyard. "Let her think whatever she wants. If she dares to plot against me, I'll let the black cat bite them to death."

"A black cat?" Censor Cui, following behind his daughter, became increasingly confused. "Don't you go to the Fang Army's dog base with Miss Shen and Miss Fang every day? Why do you have dogs? Why is it a cat now? And a black cat, too. What can a cat do?"

Cui Lan'er's giggles floated into the sky, and the entire Cui Mansion became bright.

"Daddy, this is so funny. The black cat is a wolf cub we raised. It's very smart. It will bite whoever I tell it to bite. It's not a cat, hahahaha. Don't worry, Daddy. If the Queen and the Second Prince dare to plot against me, I will take those wolf cubs to destroy their lair."

These words were taught to her by Sister Li. When Sister Li told her stories from books—about going behind enemy lines, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, taking advantage of the situation, and raiding the enemy's lair—her blood boiled. She wanted to follow her to the battlefield, unleash the wolf cubs, and have a good fight with the enemy.

Censor Cui was afraid that her daughter would speak without restraint, so she dared to go to the Queen's lair. Didn't she know that the Queen's lair was the imperial palace?

What the hell did I give birth to? He spoke without thinking, and he was worried to death.

Cui Lan'er squeezed her sleeve pocket tightly, inside of which was the fifty taels of silver she had earned with great difficulty.

The bugs in the backyard seemed to be doing well. It was obvious that although Daddy said he was angry with her, he actually didn't blame her at all and had someone take good care of them for her.

Then does she still have to hide from her father that she has fifty taels of silver?

"Dad, the eldest prince knew that poisonous centipedes are useful, so he bought me a few."

Censor Cui, who was nervously looking around for wasps, was stunned. "The eldest prince? Buying poisonous centipedes? Why would he want that thing?"

"I don't know either. He thought the centipede was raised by Sister Li, so he bought it from her."

Censor Cui looked at the centipede cage suspiciously and shuddered.

"What do you need to buy? Just give a few to Miss Shen and let her use them as a favor. Child, even though we are poor, you are not allowed to learn to be too calculating."

When Cui Lan'er heard that her father had misunderstood her, she pouted, "Dad, I haven't even understood what's going on yet, but Sister Li said she raised the centipede and offered ten taels of silver for each. The eldest prince agreed so readily..."

"What?" Censor Cui was shocked, staring at the centipede cage. "Ten taels of silver for one!"

Oh my god, that piece of crap is worth more than his monthly salary!

"How many did the eldest prince want?" Censor Cui's voice trembled with excitement.

"Five items."

"Five, five?" Censor Cui swallowed his saliva, trying to calm himself down for a moment, but he found that he couldn't do it at all. "Fifty taels of silver! Just five pieces of junk, and you made fifty taels of silver?"

Seeing Cui Lan'er nod, he felt a little dizzy.

When did making money become so easy?

After finally stabilizing herself, Cui Lan'er thought he was going to criticize her for asking too high a price, but then she heard Censor Cui say, "Hurry up, hurry up, eat quickly, then go to sleep. Tomorrow, when Daddy comes back from court, we'll go digging insects in the suburbs together. Yes, we'll catch insects, raise them, and sell them for money. It's settled. Eat quickly, go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow. Go quickly, go quickly."

Cui Lan'er curled her lips, and her father's true identity was exposed after paying fifty taels of silver.

……

The next day.

The father and daughter had just met up at the mansion and had not yet set off when the Duke of Wei and his wife suddenly came to visit.

After hearing the doorman's report and looking at the visiting card in his hand, Imperial Censor Cui asked several times, "Who's here?"

The servant said, "The person who came said it was the Duke of Wei and his wife!"

Censor Cui looked down at the visiting card again. Indeed, it was clearly written on it that it was the Duke of Wei and his wife.

He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He and Yuan Mengxing had nothing to do with each other, so why did the couple suddenly come to his house?

"Then please come in quickly, don't let anyone get hot outside."

The servant turned and left, and Censor Cui hurriedly took off the short shirt he had just changed into and put on clothes for meeting guests.

Just as I had changed and was about to go out to greet them, Yuan Mengxing and his wife walked in.

Both sides greeted each other and returned to their seats.

Madam Yuan glanced around and asked curiously, "I heard that your daughter has been learning dog training with the girls from the General's Mansion recently, right?"

Censor Cui glanced at her warily, then took a sip of his teacup. "Yes, I'm good friends with the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Thanks to her, I was able to get a job as a dog trainer. Why are you asking this, Madam? Do you have any brave puppies at home?"

When the youngest son of the Yuan family came to cancel Miss Shen's marriage, Fang Yao immediately beat Yuan Mengxing severely. He was also present at the time and watched. The beating was well deserved.

After the fight, Lord Fang Yao came to deliver a large amount of medicine and cured the boy from the Yuan family's illness.

It is said that the boy seemed like a different person after he recovered from his illness. He volunteered to go to the military camp and vowed to continue the glory of his ancestors. He has been sent to southern Xinjiang by Guan Yonghou.

Censor Cui's heart was filled with alarm.

Yuan Mengxing brought his wife to the house and asked his daughter what they wanted to do.

His daughter won't marry into the Duke of Wei's family, so don't even think about taking advantage of her.
