What the hell! After saying so many disrespectful words, how could he not be angered, but instead offer ten thousand taels of gold and want to become sworn brothers? Are these royal family members mad?
“Prince, I merely spoke from the bottom of my heart. Isn’t the prince making too much of a fuss?” She wanted to cry but had no reason to.
“Of course I must! The Grand Tutor once told me: In any group of three, there must be someone who can be my teacher; choose the good and follow, choose the bad and correct it! You disregarded your own life and dared to advise with death. If I do not become sworn brothers with you, what becomes of my reputation? Today, I shall become sworn brothers before Guan Gong! From now on, you are my brother, Dong Fang Hong!” The prince spoke sincerely.
“Yes! Gentleman, you should not refuse the prince’s kindness! Your actions are admirable. From now on, I, Zhao Xin, am willing to sacrifice my life for you!” Han Xin said excitedly.
Lan Lingier knelt on the ground, face full of grief, to express gratitude.
“Thank you for Your Highness’s kindness!”
“No need to be polite. Why are you crying?” The prince pulled Lan Lingier up, asking curiously.
“These are tears of gratitude! The prince truly cares for the people!”
God! Isn’t this joke a bit too much?
Lan Lingier stood in front of the mansion, drenched in sweat. Unexpectedly, after worrying about going hungry just yesterday, today she was living the life of a wealthy person.
As she stood there in a daze, she felt a tug on her clothes. Looking down, she saw a boy of about eight years old pulling at her, with a younger girl beside him, both looking pitiful.
“Sister, please give us something to eat! We haven’t eaten for days!” the boy pleaded, tears falling on the ground.
“How did you get so dirty? Are you very hungry?” Lan Lingier asked, squatting down to hold their hands.
“Yes! Our family hasn’t had steamed bread for days. Sister, please help my sister!” he replied.
“Okay! Huier, bring more steamed bread!” Lan Lingier called to a maidservant in the mansion.
