Chapter 858: Chapter 860: Recognizing Relatives (1)

Nangong Yi seemed to highly approve of Cai Wei’s idea, and he even nodded, praising, "Wei’er’s idea is brilliant, and it pleases me greatly!"

Luo Xue’s head buzzed as if struck by thunder, and she fell to her knees with a "splash", urgently saying, "No, Your Highness King Qin, I do not wish to!"

As she spoke, she unconsciously looked towards Nangong Yu, her eyes begging for help.

Nangong Yu understood and said displeasedly, "Brother, what kind of bad ideas are these? Luo Xue is my person now, and even if she were to get married, shouldn’t I agree to it? You shouldn’t be worrying about this and messing up the mandarin ducks!"

Bad ideas and messing up the mandarin ducks were words meant to hit Cai Wei. Cai Wei, being such a clear-headed person, could not fail to catch the insinuation. She smiled coldly and said, "Princess need not be anxious. Since Miss Luo Xue does not wish to marry, naturally no one will force her. However, I wonder what exactly does the Princess intend to reward your elder brother with?"

"Well—"

Nangong Yu thought for a moment, then said, "Brother, I cannot bear to let Sister Luo Xue marry someone else. Why don’t you take her as a concubine instead, and after that, we’ll still be one family!"

Nangong Yu knew Luo Xue’s intentions well, and Luo Xue herself was fully aware that she was not suited to be Nangong Yi’s principal wife, and therefore only hoped for the position of a Concubine. Nangong Yu believed that suggesting to his brother to take Luo Xue as Concubine was not too presumptuous, after all, no men would complain about having too many women, especially when the additional one was a young and beautiful concubine.

Upon hearing Nangong Yu’s words, Luo Xue bashfully bowed her head, not refusing like she did before, clearly revealing her inner thoughts!

Cai Wei, on the other hand, sneered and tugged at the corner of her mouth. This Princess Zhao Yang, when she had first arrived in Meng slaves, had been trembling and extremely careful and polite with Cai Wei. But in a blink of eye, seeing her elder brother completely changed her, probably thinking that having her brother’s backing would mean she didn’t need to take Cai Wei seriously anymore, which was laughably realistic!

However, she didn’t say anything and merely looked at Nangong Yi with a cold gaze.

When Nangong Yi heard Nangong Yu’s words, he was shocked, and upon catching Cai Wei’s scrutinizing look, he immediately bellowed, "Yu’er, don’t talk nonsense. Your elder brother will not take a concubine in this lifetime!"

After speaking, he sweet-talked Cai Wei, "Wei’er, Yu’er is just joking with us; you mustn’t get angry, alright?"

Luo Xue was stunned; she had not misheard, had she? What did King Qin just say? What does it mean that he would not take a concubine in his lifetime? How could men not take concubines? How could that be possible?

Nangong Yu was equally incredulous, realizing after a while what her brother meant. She had always known that her brother was fond of Mu Caiwei, but she never imagined his love for her had reached such a depth.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by not taking a concubine in this lifetime? Which man doesn’t take concubines? Not to mention you are the legitimate prince, even traditional sons-in-law throughout the dynasties have had several concubines!"

Cai Wei said coldly, "Your elder brother is not talking nonsense. ’One pair for a lifetime’ is a promise between the two of us, and it’s precisely because he has made me this promise that I accepted his feelings. Let’s never speak of taking concubines for your elder brother again, don’t even think about it, or else, don’t blame me if I stop recognizing you as my younger sister!"

Nangong Yi nodded in agreement and said sternly, "Did you hear what your sister-in-law said? Don’t make this mistake again. Be careful not to anger your sister-in-law, as your elder brother won’t be able to help you!"

Nangong Yu stood dumbfounded, looking at her brother, the man who once stood high and aloof, proud and detached, looking down upon the world. And now, he was putting on a flattering smile, fervently courting that woman, completely acting like a pitiful echoing insect. Were it not for his striking resemblance to her brother, she would hardly have believed that this man could be her brother!
