Chapter 175 Teaching the Dog a Lesson
Just as they turned their horses around, a luxurious carriage came towards them and came to a smooth stop in front of the Prince's mansion.
Then, a girl of about fourteen years old, dressed in fine clothes, stepped down from the carriage. She looked up at Xiao Han standing at the door and called out, "Seventh Brother..."
Xiao Han looked in her direction and asked in surprise, "Zhi'er, why did you leave the palace?"
"I've come to see my elder brother. Mother came last night, and I had to plead with Father for quite a while before he finally agreed to let me out!" She said as she slowly walked towards Xiao Han.
"You only brought two palace servants and one maid with you. Why didn't you bring two more guards?" Xiao Han said lightly.
The girl pouted, "It's daytime! There's no danger."
"Alright!" The girl tugged at Xiao Han's arm and shook it. "I've arrived safely, haven't I? Let's go inside quickly! I was worried about my brother."
Xiao Han said helplessly, "Okay..."
He looked in the direction of Long Chuqing and found that she had already ridden away on horseback. So he took the princess with him into the palace.
Long Chuqing rode his horse back along the street. Just as he was about to reach the street where he had turned the corner the night before, a dog suddenly appeared in front of his horse.
Long Chuqing looked closely and realized that this was the biggest and fiercest dog in the pack that had been barking at her all night.
"You stinking dog, stop right there!" Long Chuqing shouted angrily.
After hearing the sound, the dog turned around and looked around, finally fixing its gaze on the horse and Long Chuqing behind it.
It trudged forward on its four legs with its tongue lolling out, occasionally glancing back at Long Chuqing sitting on the horse's back.
It seemed to recognize Long Chuqing as well, stopping in its tracks to scrutinize her, wanting to confirm her identity more closely.
Long Chuqing recalled the scene of being barked at by a group of dogs last night. Judging from its posture last night and its leisurely strolling appearance now, no, she had to teach it a lesson and show it what it was made of.
The dog was also very smart. When it saw Long Chuqing's sharp eyes, its intuition told it that something was wrong, so it turned around and ran away.
Long Chuqing snorted coldly, "Hmph... you little brat... you think you can run away?"
A meaningful smile appeared on her lips. She then took out a small piece of silver and threw it at the dog in front of her.
With two howls, the dog fell to the ground and lay motionless.
Long Chuqing rode her horse slowly forward, and when she came to the dog's side, she nimbly dismounted and pulled the horse to the side of the road to stop.
At this moment, the dog was lying helplessly on the ground. Although it couldn't move, its eyes were fixed on Long Chuqing with great vigilance. It bared its teeth and made muffled growls as if to warn the enemy.
Long Chuqing walked over, bent down to pick up the broken silver coin she had just thrown, blew off the dust, and then put it back in her bag.
She slowly squatted down next to the dog, glanced at it with disdain, and then slapped it on the head. "Shut up, you're asking for trouble, daring to bare your teeth at me."
The dog whimpered twice upon hearing this, then stopped growling and retracted its fangs.
Long Chuqing reached out and grabbed the dog by the neck, shaking it a few times. "You were the loudest barking last night, weren't you! Now that I've got you, let's see if you're still so arrogant." After saying that, she slapped it on the head.
The dog barked twice, seemingly trying to explain itself, then stuck out its tongue, wagged its tail from side to side, and its sharp eyes softened and became much clearer, looking completely obedient and ingratiating.
"Hmph... Trying to please me by acting cute won't work. I'm not buying it."
"Big Yellow, what are you doing lying on the ground? Why are you running around again?"
A woman's voice came from behind her. Long Chu turned around and saw a plump old woman walking towards her with heavy steps.
"Young lady... what are you doing? This dog is mine." The old woman's voice was a little loud, and passersby all looked over at the sound.
When the dog saw its owner arrive, it immediately barked twice, as if pleading for help.
At this moment, Long Chuqing's hand was still gripping the dog's neck. She glanced at the old woman's face and, judging from the loud voice she had just heard, felt that she was no kind person.
Right now, we absolutely cannot let the old lady know that she's bullying her dog. Otherwise, the news of her bullying the dog will spread to the surrounding area tomorrow!
She smiled, her lips curving upwards, and stroked the dog's back with the hand that was holding its neck.
"Oh my... this is your dog! You take such good care of it. I was just passing by and saw how well it was growing, so I stopped to pet it. I didn't expect it to be so well-behaved and doesn't bite."
As he spoke, Long Chuqing stroked the dog's back again, pinched it, and then released its pressure points.
Once the dog realized it could move again, it immediately sprang up and ran quickly behind the old woman to hide. Then it poked its head out at the old woman's feet and barked a few times at Long Chuqing.
She thought to herself: What a lackey, relying on his master's power.
Long Chuqing slowly stood up, clapped her hands, glanced at the dog, then looked at the old lady and smiled faintly.
When the old lady heard the praise for taking good care of her dog, she showed a proud expression. She waved her hand and said, "Oh my... you're right. I'm not bragging, but you can tell how well I take care of it just by looking at its smooth fur! Whatever I eat, my dog eats too. You can tell my dog has a good diet just by looking at my physique."
"However!" The old woman frowned slightly and continued, "If you say it's well-behaved, it's not really that well-behaved. It's quite mischievous and often runs off to wander around. Sometimes it takes me a long time to find it! I'm afraid it will be captured by bad people."
After listening, Long Chu chuckled twice: "Hehe...Is that so! Then why don't you keep it at home!" After saying that, she glanced at the dog lying at the old lady's feet.
The dog arrogantly turned its face to the side.
The old woman waved her hand again: "Sigh... I can't keep them in. They're very mischievous. They run out as soon as I'm not looking."
Just as the two were chatting, a sound of music came from afar, like a wedding tune.
The two of them turned around at the same time and sure enough, a wedding procession turned around at the other end of the street and walked in their direction.
The people walking around were instantly drawn to the lively atmosphere after hearing the celebratory music, and they all stopped to watch, while some looked back as they walked forward.
Even the people in the surrounding houses pushed open their doors, first peeking out to see what was happening. When they saw so many people watching the spectacle, they also stepped out of their houses and joined the crowd.
