Managing the brothel cos with great power, and Madam Wang didn’t expect that Xuexue would trust her enough to entrust such a significant responsibility to her.
Especially considering that she recently attempted to poison Xuexue, even though she failed, the fact remains unchallenged.
Xuexue raised an eyebrow: "Are you unwilling?"
"Do you trust ?"
"Trust or not, it’s just giving you an opportunity, and giving myself an opportunity as well."
"What do you an?"
"Let put it this way, I have many shops, not just one or two. If you prove trustworthy, then in the future, I’ll have a capable assistant, and this business won’t lose out."
"What if you’re wrong about ?"
"Isn’t it just a shop? It won’t hurt my foundation."
Hearing this, Madam Wang seed to make a big decision: "Fine, I agree with you."
"Pleasure doing business with you."
Xuexue extended her hand with a smile.
After many days of gloom, finally, a faint smile appeared on Madam Wang’s face.
"Pleasure doing business with you."
And just like that, Xuexue brought Madam Wang under her wing to use her talents, but to keep such a dangerous woman by her side, wasn’t she afraid that she would one day play with fire?
Of course, the answer is no.
Xuexue isn’t foolish. When using anyone, there’s always a trial period. If one doesn’t pass, she won’t hesitate to deal with them.
At the War Prince’s Mansion, in the study.
A guard stood by Long Rui’s side, reporting everything that happened after Xuexue left the mansion.
"What? Xuexue took that venomous woman under her wing?"
"Yes, my Prince, I heard it perfectly clear, there’s no mistake."
"Oh dear, how can she be so foolish? That woman just attempted to poison her, yet she bears no grudges... Tsk tsk... Tell , isn’t she being foolish? And besides, that woman might not be grateful; who knows? One day she might bite back, and Xuexue won’t even know what hit her! Foolish woman indeed."
With no one else to speak to, Long Rui could only ramble to the guard standing next to him.
The guard wore a pained expression, indicating it was difficult to handle the Prince’s fiery passion.
Indeed, the War Prince usually didn’t speak lightly and was very serious.
Now suddenly turning into a chatterbox was quite intimidating.
Moreover, as a servant, it didn’t seem right for him to speak ill of his master.
Who knows, maybe one day, the Prince might recall his words today and settle accounts with him afterwards. Wouldn’t he be in big trouble then?
The guard, having a ticulous mind, considered this deadly possibility and wisely remained silent, standing like a piece of wood beside him.
As the saying goes, disaster cos from the mouth; keeping one’s mouth shut will minimize trouble.
"Are you deaf? I’m talking to you! Why aren’t you responding?" After chattering for a while, the guard next to him remained silent like a gourd, which displeased the War Prince.
"Haha, the Prince’s family matters, we small ones dare not comnt lightly."
These words were quite soothing to hear.
Long Rui finally let him go, not questioning further.
"Where’s Long Yi? Go call Long Yi over." After a while, Long Rui looked up and told the guard.
"Yes."
The guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to stand on guard in front of the Prince. It was such a relief; he’d been on edge all day, always fearing the Prince would suddenly throw strange questions at him.
The most critical aspect was that he couldn’t answer recklessly, because they were all questions about Madam Situ. As one of the Hidden Guards for the War Prince, he naturally knew very well about the relationship between him and Situtu Xueer.
So, as soon as he heard the Prince ask him to go invite Long Yi, the guard imdiately turned around, his movents fluid like water, and slipped out swiftly like the wind.
