Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Don’t Be Afraid, I Will Protect You

Rong Ling’s words made Rong Haotian’s face darken again and again, but Rong Ling didn’t stop and continued to speak: "Brother, these are one hundred and eighteen lives. If you don’t compensate the families of the deceased, when this matter spreads, do you think people in the world will believe that Brother regards human lives as dirt, will they think Brother is brutal and unjust? Will they still trust Brother in the future when talking about him?"

Rong Ling’s words served as a good reminder to Prince Su, Rong Haotian, that if the matter of him treating human lives as dirt spreads, even if he eventually takes the throne, the people would despise him as such an Emperor, and someone might even use the opportunity to rebel, bringing disaster to the Rong Family’s kingdom.

Rong Haotian understood this reasoning and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "I will compensate them, let’s do as you say."

Rong Ling immediately clasped his fists toward Rong Haotian and said: "Brother truly lives up to being Brother, magnanimous and straightforward."

Upon speaking, Rong Ling turned to the Nan Feng behind him and said: "Immediately follow the Su Mansion’s manager to the bank in Qinghe County to withdraw the silver note, and then settle this matter."

Rong Haotian’s face turned dark with anger again, as if afraid of him manipulating things, this younger brother is indeed his nemesis.

Rong Haotian’s eyes were full of gloom, passing a seal to the guard behind him: "Go, withdraw the silver, and hand it over to the Prince Yong Mansion to arrange this matter."

"Yes, Prince."

Nan Feng and the people from the Su Mansion went to Qinghe County to handle matters, and the locals here cheered, but soon they remembered their deceased loved ones and cried out in sorrow again.

At this time, Prince Su, Rong Haotian’s heart was filled with hate, wishing he could kill Rong Ling immediately, especially thinking that so many assassins sent to kill Rong Ling last night had more than half died.

Rong Haotian thought of this and finally calmed down. This younger brother had managed to suppress the court with thunderous methods at such a young age; he definitely wasn’t a benevolent person, so it’s better to be cautious.

"Brother, since this matter is settled, please follow Brother to the Su Mansion as a guest."

Rong Ling hadn’t had time to speak when Feng Qing, on one side, tugged at Rong Ling’s sleeve, whispering to him: "Don’t go, this guy looks like he wants to eat your flesh and drink your blood. If you go to his mansion, you definitely won’t fare well."

Feng Qing thought she spoke quietly, but she forgot that people who practice martial arts have keen hearing, so although she spoke softly, Prince Su, Rong Haotian, heard everything word for word.

Prince Su almost spit blood from rage.

Seeing Rong Haotian almost spitting blood out of anger, Rong Ling’s mood instantly brightened. He raised his hand to touch Feng Qing’s head and said: "Don’t worry, I will protect you."

Rong Haotian looked at the man in front of him, full of affection, coaxing the woman beside him. Is this his brother? Wasn’t it rumored that he usually didn’t show a good face to women and was unwilling to be near them?

Now what’s going on? Rong Haotian’s eyes locked onto the woman beside Rong Ling; she was an exceptionally rare Beauty, and most importantly, she had both a beautiful appearance and good demeanor, maintaining a dignified and noble aura even under scrutiny.

Although there are many beauties, women who are beautiful both inside and out are still rare.

However, it’s not impossible to find. If Rong Ling likes this kind of woman, he might as well give it a try.

Rong Haotian looked at Feng Qing with a smile and said to Rong Ling: "I wonder how this lady should be addressed? I didn’t know Brother had such a Beauty by his side; is she Brother’s favorite concubine?"
