The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince Chapter 196

Chapter 196 I will be even more beautiful

 As to what the Du family and his son had done, they did not tell the eldest princess and Du Wan.

　　It is by no means a lie that men should be the master of the outside world and women should be the master of the house.

Du Wan in Yulingyuan eats what he should eat and sleeps where he should.

 Woke up early in the morning and heard about what happened yesterday.

 The reason was that the guards in the mansion suffered casualties.

Du Liu led a group of people into the mountain. After finding something, they were attacked on their way back. Fortunately, Du Qian and his men arrived in time, attacked from both sides, and killed all the ambushers, leaving only a few who escaped. During the subsequent inventory, even though they had been well prepared, casualties still inevitably occurred, and the matter alarmed the government.

 It was quite a big fuss.

Du Wan asked, "What are our casualties?"

"Seven people died, eight were seriously injured, and thirteen were slightly injured." Ning Qin carefully reported to Du Wan what she had learned.

Du Wan ate something hastily and hurried to the front yard.

At this time, Prince Consort Du had already gone to the Yamen.

 On the other hand, Du Qian was listening to reports from his subordinates on problems and handling some matters personally.

"younger sister?"

As soon as Du Wan appeared, Du Qian discovered her.

Du Wan looked around and said, "Brother, I heard something happened."

 “An expected situation.” Du Qian did not hide anything from his sister.

 What happened last night was a trap he and Prince Consort Du took the opportunity to set up.

Du Wan said: "Have you caught the other party's handle?"

"No. A few powerful ones escaped, and the rest died. The few that were caught with great difficulty all bitten themselves with poison. It's really not easy. There are more than a hundred dead soldiers, all of whom are good hands. That old fox is afraid It's going to be so heartbreaking.”

 “Isn't he not fooled?”

 “Ha, the clue this time is not false.”

 “Then he's pretty well informed.”

"Yes, he even has spies in our house. Yesterday we spotted two cheaters." Du Qian secretly let people keep an eye on him and took the opportunity to find out the other party.

　Du Wan asked who it was.

Du Qian mentioned two names, both of which were unknown to Du Wan.

 Have one servant and one bodyguard.

 That personal guard was one she obtained from the emperor. He was trained by Prime Minister Su a long time ago, and that servant was purely bribed later.

Du Qian added: "The immediate relatives of the guards who died this time will be compensated. Those who are seriously injured will be treated for free by the government. For those who can no longer be on duty, other arrangements will be made."

 “It's quite humane.” Du Wan praised.

 “Of course, otherwise who would be loyal to you?”

 Except for a very few people who are ambitious, most people just want stability.

 The Princess Mansion has considered everything comprehensively, and the preferential treatment given to the guards is very obvious.

 If a guard dies while on duty, his relatives will be compensated with one thousand taels of silver and ten acres of fertile land. For those who are seriously injured, Princess Mansion will continue to provide free treatment until they recover. If a wounded person is left with a permanent disability, follow-up work will be handled according to the situation. Those who can no longer work will receive a fixed monthly payment of two hundred cash and ten pounds of grain, as well as clothing for the four seasons, two sets per quarter.

Hence, the Princess Mansion is still very popular as a guard, and most people would not think of betraying the Princess Mansion. As long as one person betrays, the whole family will suffer.

This time, the whole family suffered misfortune for the two rebels.

 All the family property was confiscated and driven out of the princess' mansion.

 Betraitors shall be put to death directly.

Du Wan didn't know why Du Qian told her these trivial things.

However, she listened very carefully and felt inexplicably emotional in her heart.

 In this world, human life is worthless.

Du Qian said: "Sister, rules are dead, people are alive, and desires are hard to satisfy. You should be more careful and don't be too indulgent. If you raise their hearts, it will be bad."

 “What does the elder brother want to say?”

"Pei Hao once specifically told me that there is a little maid next to you who loves to tell you gossip. She dares to tell you anything dirty and smelly. She told me to be careful and don't let you be led astray. "…" Du Wan's clear eyes widened.

This villain has such a lenient control, tsk tsk! Why don't you live by the sea?

Du Wan was thinking in his mind, but didn't show it on his face. He nodded obediently to show that he understood.

　　It is not the turn of Du Wan, a little girl, to intervene in what happens next.

 If you have a backer, you will win by lying down.

Du Wan went to the eldest princess for a walk, and then returned to Yulingyuan.

He happened to bump into Ning Qin, who was holding a stack of posts and was about to throw them away.

Du Wan waved to her, "Bring it here and take a look."

"Yes, Princess." Ningqin approached Du Wan, "These were sent from the concierge. They have been kept for several days."

 “Let me see who sent the posts?”

Du Wan flipped through it himself, and when he saw any names with unfamiliar names, he threw them aside.

It wasn't until there was a post with Pei Huiyu's name written on it that Du Wan took a serious look at it.

It is actually Pei Huiyu, who is holding a flower appreciation banquet at the town government's mansion, and the time is scheduled for three days later.

Du Wan was about to throw it aside, but then picked it up again.

Huguoji had a falling out with her, and he actually sent her a post?

Du Wan rolled her eyes and said, "Ningqin, please ask someone to tell you that I will attend the banquet on time in three days."

"Okay, I'll do it right now." Ningqin's voice was filled with joy.

Du Wan rubbed his hands and chuckled.

 There's something going on!

Du Wanhui accepted Pei Huiyu's invitation because of Bagua.

According to the description in the book, Pei Huiyu once held a flower appreciation party and gave away an important medicinal plant belonging to the Duke of Zhen. Afterwards, the Duke of Zhen Guo knew about it and immediately went to the other party's house to ask for it. The other party refused to return it on the grounds that it was lost.

The two families almost fell out.

Du Wan expressed her sympathy to Duke Zhen Guo in real name.

She wasn't sure whether Pei Huiyu was cheating on her father during this flower viewing party, but her intuition was that she was right.

No matter how people from all sides stir up the situation outside.

Jade Lingyuan is calm and peaceful.

 Three days passed in a row.

Du Wan, who was obsessed with improving his martial arts, only remembered that there was another banquet after Ning Qin reminded him.

 Get up and dress up.

Just as Ningqin took out Rouge.

　Du Wan stopped her, "No more makeup."

 “But if you go to a banquet without makeup...” you will be laughed at.

 “Then I'll do it.”

Du Wan quickly wiped her pink lips, staining them with a touch of red.

 The whole face becomes more and more delicate.

As her cultivation improves, the little girl grows rapidly, like a flower in bud that is about to bloom, and it will not be long before it reveals its beauty. Du Wan didn't pay much attention to this.

 But when it comes to clothing, choose the best.

  It is a very delicate color, suitable for little girls, lively and bright.

Ningqin looked at Du Wan and was amazed, "Princess, you look really good dressed up."

"That's right." Du Wan raised her beautiful chin narcissistically, "Is it a little prettier than before?"

 “Yes, yes.”

 “I've said it before, I will be even more beautiful.”

“…” Ningqin's words of praise were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them out.
