Right after Ling Wei's completed her new artwork Long Yi Sheng managed to pin the blame on Ling Bin.
So when the rumor reached Ling Wei, the story become Lin Bin bragging about his pendant, although it was half truth but, Ling Wei still believed in everything.
But after the nth person asks her to make the same pendant, her mind becomes blank and suddenly wants to punch Ling Bin.
After being glared at by his sister, Ling Bin scratch his head awkwardly, he didn't know that it will come to this.
And he didn't expect his sister to be well-known even to those nobles.
When Ling Wei noticed that this heat won't cool down anytime soon, she finally announced the soon opening of a new business and which will be a jewelry store.
And she won't take any orders until that business is officially open.
"Weiwei that was a good excuse"
Ling Bin's praised
"what excuse! Do you think those people can be easily deceived?"
Ling Bin didn't mind his sister's smack and just received everything
"then you are really going to open a new shop?"
Ling Wei sigh
"It's fine, sooner or later you will bring a sister-in-law and after you, there is still Ling Han and Ling He, we should prepare as much as we can for the bride price"
Ling Bin chuckled while ruffling her hair
"you little girl! What is running inside your mind? It should be us giving you everything"
Ling Wei look at him with disdain
"oy, oy, little girl, don't look down on me! I will earn a title and will surely give our family honor"
Ling Wei didn't understand his thing about heroism so she just walk away from him.
What she will do about his honor? She is a person who came from the future and based on the historical novels she read, those who become heroes will end up dying at the hand of those they protected.
And every story has two sides, those history textbooks are not necessarily complete.
Humans are unpredictable, that is for sure, she just hopes that Lin Bin will guard himself more and learn to examine the people around him.
"little girl, did you miss brother?"
Ling Wei sighs, they just met yesterday and almost every day he is smooching food in their home.
Long Yi Sheng's happiness is just to see her rolling her eyes at him, her rebuke, those fake smiles and even just her walking away from him is enjoyable for him.
He is not sure what kind of medicine he has taken but, his day won't be complete if he didn't see and tease the little girl.
"by the way, your mother is already very busy, although she loves to do everything on her own but she is always neglecting herself"
Ling Wei purses her lips, she knew that she already hired a lot of people to assist her but she just didn't want to.
"so why not I give you servants? Your personal maidservants, so your mother's work will reduce"
He adds seeing her contemplating
"but I don't want people following me anywhere"
Long Yi Sheng nod
"don't worry, they will follow whatever your order is, but little girl your life is not the same anymore, everything is different now"
Ling Wei also knows that, seeing her thinking hardly Long Yi Sheng strike while the iron is hot
"your family's security is much more important"
Ling Wei finally gave in
"then where can I hire some? And I also need some guards, I want loyal people"
Long Yi Sheng smile
"Don't worry little girl, I will gift you some, and I will assure you that they are loyal"
Ling Wei nodded, then squinted her eyes suspiciously
"why are being so kind all of the sudden?"
Long Yi Sheng pauses and then laugh
"little girl, why are being suspicious? I just feel bad for Auntie okay?"
Ling Wei finally nods, his reasoning is acceptable but she is nonetheless dubious.
Long Yi Sheng clutch his heart while dramatically said
"I am really not worthy of your trust?"
Ling Wei shakes her head, feeling defeated by his acting.
"then brother Yuanzheng thank you in advance"
She finally said and leave him in a hurry, she will go crazy if she stay more time with this guy.
There's a tinge of regret in his eyes when Ling Wei left, but remembering his goal has been achieved, he is nevertheless contented.
Long Yi Sheng sent the servants early the next morning.
The Ling family was startled to see more than dozens of servants in their front yard.
"Madam Lin I am Master Qin Yuanzheng's steward and I am here to send the servants he promises to miss Ling"
Then he turns to Ling Bin
"Young master Ling Bin how are you?"
Ling Bin greets back politely, this man is the 5th prince's chief steward, all the important matters in his palace will be handled by him.
So Ling Bin is a little surprised to see him here and just to bring servants.
Tan Ye, Long Yi Sheng's chief steward is curious about the infamous Ling Wei.
His knowledge about her is about the important contribution she made to the country, and he also knows how she gives a lot of useful things to their young master.
All of this is enough reason but, His main purpose is to know what kind of person Ling Wei is.
He is already this old so he knows that the 5th prince has a special interest in this little girl.
The 5th prince is finally interested in a girl! When he heard that he will give away those servants he had trained for more than 3 years now, he understands on the spot.
These servants will serve the future wife of the 5th prince!
And he was extra glad the little girl has clear eyes and bright smile, although still young but her beauty is already blossoming and her family has without any pretense.
He nods, as a sign of approval of his master's choice.
