Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 134 Shen Dashen 2

"Your Highness, we just came from Longxi. When we entered Qinglong Mountain, we encountered a pack of wolves. One of our companions had half his face bitten off by a wolf. We thought he was going to die, but we met a woman who was coming up the mountain. I don't know what method she used, but she not only saved him but also healed his face."

"Really?"

"This humble subject would never dare to deceive Your Highness; we brothers witnessed this with our own eyes."

"Where is that person?"

"We stayed in Longxi. We brothers felt it was too difficult to make a living there, so we joined a merchant caravan and went to the capital. Maybe we could make a living under the emperor's nose."

"How much money can you make by setting up a stall now?" The princess pondered for a moment.

"Hehe, we've only been here for two days, business is so-so. Yesterday we sold a rattle drum and earned two coins, not even enough for us to eat steamed buns. So far today, we've sold a roll of silk thread and a folding fan, earning ten copper coins. Maybe we can earn a little more tonight..."

The princess gestured, and Granny Qin handed over a silver note.

"Princess? What does that mean?"

"Here are two hundred taels of silver. I would like to hire you to take my guards on another trip to Longxi to find this divine doctor. Once you find him, there will be a great reward."

“This…” Shen Er couldn’t help but look at Shen Da, “Big brother, I’ll listen to you.”

“Princess, Longxi is no place for humans. The environment there is treacherous, and there are often bandits. If we go there, we'll be risking our lives. So…”

"Five hundred taels." The princess spoke directly, and Granny Qin placed another silver note on the table.

“Second brother,” Shen Dayi said, no longer refusing, but looking at his younger brother, “aren’t we just doing this to make money? This is a lot of money.”

“But it’s dangerous too. I’m worried that if we encounter danger, we won’t be alive to spend the money, right?” Shen Er shook his head again.

"Don't worry, the guards in my palace are all royal guards, they are more than capable of protecting you."

"Okay, but we also need to go back and explain to our families."

"Only one of you needs to go back."

Shen Da glanced at Shen Er: "Second brother, you stay here for now. I'll go back and make some arrangements and come back tomorrow."

"Come back soon!"

"Don't worry." Shen Da stuffed the silver notes into his pocket, kowtowed to the princess, and hurriedly ran off.

"Big brother, you must come back!" Shen Er shouted.

"Butler, take him downstairs and make him settled in."

Ning Wushuang waited until Shen Er left with the steward before stepping forward and saying, "Mother, maybe it's a lie. You actually believe it?"

"Right now, it's better to believe it's true. It's just a matter of spending some money. What if it works?"

"Thank you, Mother." Ning Wushuang rested her head on the princess's shoulder. "You are the best person in the world to me."

The eldest princess gently stroked her daughter's head: "Don't worry, Mother will definitely heal your face and find you the best husband." She paused, then added, "Are you still thinking about the third prince?"

“Mother, my third cousin is a fickle and heartless man. I’m already disappointed in him. Now, I’ll accept anyone but him.”

"Yes." The eldest princess nodded. "It's good that you think this way. Now that Han Lian'er has been promised the position of concubine by Consort Chen, you will marry into her family..."

"Mother, really?" Ning Wushuang suddenly stood up straight. "Has she really been promised a position?"

"The news from the palace this morning is definitely true."

“Then Mother, I want to marry into that family too.” Ning Wushuang’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I want to be the principal wife.”

"you……"

"Don't worry, Mother, I've given up on Third Cousin, but I can't let Han Lian'er live too comfortably." Ning Wushuang's eyes flashed with intense hatred.

Previously, Zhou Jingxuan had been very attentive to her, but ever since the imperial physician declared that her face was beyond repair, his attitude had become noticeably colder. Don't mistake his occasional small gifts for deep affection; some feelings require careful observation and understanding.

She could clearly sense the difference in his attitude before and after the injury.

"Wushuang," the princess suddenly said, her expression darkening slightly. "I will avenge you. I don't want you to sacrifice your happiness for revenge, understand?"

"mother?"

"Don't worry, even if she enters the Third Prince's residence, her life won't be easy. As for you, as long as you live a happy and fulfilling life, that's the greatest torture you can inflict on her. Listen to your mother, we don't argue with fools. If a dog bites you, do you have to bite back? That would just leave you with a mouthful of fur."

Ning Wushuang was taken aback, then laughed: "Mother, what you said... is quite interesting."

"I've heard it from others too." The eldest princess suddenly remembered that insightful woman from the past, but alas, she was a beautiful woman with a short life.

After leaving the princess's residence, Shen Da turned and went to the north city. He wandered around and finally managed to shake off his pursuers. Then he went into a farmhouse. When he came out again, he was a completely different person. Shen Da had become Shen Hu.

After Shen Hu and Shen Long arrived in the capital with the Guo family, they did not move into the house the Guo family had bought. Instead, they bought a farmhouse and began to carry out the plan that Yun Yi had instructed them to follow.

However, the two of them always went out in different outfits, sometimes as beggars, sometimes as thugs, and sometimes as street vendors. But they always mentioned the goddess doctor from Longxi when they chatted. They originally thought it would take time for the news to reach the Princess's residence, but today the steward of the Princess's residence overheard it. It felt like even God was helping them.

As for why they did it, they didn't ask; they just did whatever their boss told them to do.

As for going back to find people, the second brother can go; he needs to stay behind to continue developing connections for the eldest brother.

So the next day, Shen Er was in despair.

"Waaah, my brother must have run off with the money. He... he's so awful!" Shen Er cried miserably. "Whenever there's trouble or danger, he always runs away faster than a rabbit. What kind of brother is he? Waaah, my life is so miserable..."

"Alright." The eldest princess slammed her hand on the table.

Shen Er immediately stopped crying, but because she was so anxious, she started hiccuping.

"It's fine with you here. You take the lead to find the person. If you find them, there will be a reward. If you don't find them..." The princess stopped abruptly.

Shen Er swallowed hard: "This humble subject will certainly do his best, but if I can't find it, you can't blame me, can you? This humble subject only knows a general location, only knows..."

"Alright, let's go." The eldest princess waved her hand.

Several guards stepped forward and dragged Shen Er away.

Shen Hu stood in a corner outside the Princess's residence, watching Shen Long being stuffed into the carriage and then leaving the city. He turned around and went back to his courtyard, wrote a note and put it into the bamboo tube on Nineteen's paw, then patted its head: "Nineteen, you've worked hard. Go back now."
