After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

This inexplicable rule made Yuan Ge, who felt that she had been made a fool, obviously lose interest. She was too lazy to pay attention to who the remaining fools like herself were. She sat there with Wen Xiaobai in her arms and sighed without any image. She only felt that she had contributed to the treasure she had just obtained.

Xu Chengjin was so angry at her petty appearance that he laughed, "It's me who's spending the money. I don't feel bad about it, so why are you feeling bad too?"

"Isn't that the same? Birds of a feather flock together. We all look like fools now, and no one can escape... The pleasure boat is moving. Look, has the cook come out?" She was sitting by the window, with Song Wenyuan sitting next to her. As she was not in the mood at the moment, she was too lazy to get up and join in the fun. She just gave orders to Xu Chengjin as a matter of course.

Xu Chengjin shook his head, got up and went out obediently, and came back after a while, "It's here, there's a screen between us, and two guards are guarding it. They said that you can't get close when the cook is cooking... Tsk, there are so many rules and bad tempers, but people still flock to it... Could it be that you've suffered a loss, so you keep promoting it so that more people will suffer the same loss?"

Song Wenyuan lowered his head to comfort Wen Xiaobai who suddenly became noisy. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "That makes sense."

It was the first time in Wen Xiaobai's life that he was on a pleasure boat. He didn't know whether he was excited or scared, but he started to make a fuss as soon as the boat left the shore, barking "woof woof" and howling like a wolf once or twice - this was what Young Master Jin taught him during the two days he stayed at the Song family. Wen Xiaobai learned quickly and was probably almost forgetting how a dog barked.

Yuan Ge hit its head with a gloomy face, but he was reluctant to hit it too hard. Wen Xiaobai probably thought that his master was playing a prank on him, so he "wooooed" even more vigorously...

The next moment, the door curtain was lifted.

A familiar baby face poked its head in, baring its big white teeth and grinning, "I was just thinking about which elegant room to go to find you, when I heard Little Baibai calling for its brother Yu Nian!"

Xiao Baibai was the nickname he gave to Wen Xiaobai, and Brother Yu Nian was the identity he gave himself - only Master Jin could call a puppy a brother. As for Wen Xiaobai's strange barking, it seemed to be quite useful. He could recognize a dog by its voice, just like his brother Yu Nian, he could tell who he was by his voice.

"Aren't you going to look for a girl?" Yuan Ge handed him the dog in his arms, poured tea and pushed it over, asking curiously, "Which girl? What does she look like?"

Jin Yunian lowered his head to tease Wen Xiaobai. The man and the dog were talking to each other with wolf howls as if no one was around. In between, he could still answer Yuan Ge's confusion, "Hey, don't mention it... I don't know where my mother got this quota from. There are only two of us. She said that it was just me and the girl meeting. I thought it would be okay if there were no elders around. We could just have a meal together as friends! Right... Awooo! Guess what happened? I was sitting down there in the cold wind for so long, but the girl didn't even see anyone to pass the message! I thought since I was here, the two quotas must have been obtained by my mother at a high price. I can't just pass by without entering... Besides, you guys are here too. Isn't it more interesting than having a meal with a strange girl? Right, Xiao Baibai... Awooo!"

"Ouch——"

"Yes, ow--"

...A man and a dog insisted on communicating in the language of a third race.

Yuan Ge's head ached from the repeated howling. He propped up his chin and nonchalantly reminded, "If you keep howling, other girls won't notice you and a female wolf will take a fancy to you."

"Nonsense!" Jin Yunian was not fooled at all, "We are on the lake, where did the mother wolf come from?"

As soon as the words fell, the curtain was opened by a hand again. It was a very beautiful hand, with bright red nail polish on the nails, which looked delicate and sharp. The owner of the hand had beautiful features and her makeup was meticulously done. Not even a strand of hair was messy. The girl with bold eyebrows and eyes was wearing a plain dress, which was really out of place. When the other party saw the people in the room, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of sneers, mocking, "Who did I think they were? It turns out to be just a group of rabble..."

Yuan Ge didn't recognize him, so he turned his head to look at Song Wenyuan, who nodded towards Xu Chengjin. Master Xu's face darkened, "Why are you here?"

The other person stroked her temples and chuckled. When she raised her hand, her wide sleeves fell, revealing a slender wrist and a blood-red jade bracelet on her wrist. She frowned and chuckled, "If you can come, why can't I? You are being taken advantage of, but I am the guest of honor of His Highness. Don't compare me with you... Oh, and your dog, if it barks again and disturbs my peace, I will tell it... to throw it away." The woman was not very old, and looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but the light tapping of her bright red fingertips showed a bit of overly materialistic shrewdness.

"Woof!" Wen Xiaobai was angry and bared his teeth at the other party and shouted, "Woof woof!"

Miss Yuan was also angry.

Her dog was indeed disturbing, and she would definitely apologize if the little girl spoke kindly to her, even if she spoke harshly to her as the owner. But this little girl was obviously here for personal revenge, and the so-called "Your Highness" must be Qin Yongpei - if he was a guest of Qin Yongzhao, he would not turn a blind eye to Master Jin.

Tsk, I didn't expect that it has only been such a short time and the Second Prince has a new member.

She leaned back in her chair and waved at her puppy, calling out in a calm voice, "Wen Xiaobai, come here."

Although the puppy was having fun, it got off the ground obediently when it heard the call and ran towards Yuan Ge. Yuan Ge bent down to pick it up, put it in his arms and stroked its soft white fur, smiling at the door, "Excuse me, miss, this dog is mine. It is indeed our fault to disturb your peace. We apologize here... I promise that you will not hear a single bark from the dog before you get off the boat."

The other party was slightly stunned. The woman opposite smiled gently, but her eyes did not show any chill. The woman's face was slightly stiff, but she still raised her chin to maintain her initial arrogance, "A beast, can it understand what you say?"

"If I can say it, I can do it." Wen Xiaobai is very human. He barked at first because he was afraid, and then he became quiet. But Jin Yunian came to make trouble for him. Yuan Ge looked up and smiled even more. "It's just that the young lady just spoke rudely to all of us present because of her personal grudge with Xu Chengjin, insulted the court officials, and even intended to take revenge on my dog... Shouldn't she also say sorry?"

Xu Chengjin leaned against the back of the chair and supported his chin. "Someone of my father's daughters, I don't know her well, her name is unknown."

A really concise introduction.
