Chapter 2729 The Servant Doesn’t Understand

"Prince, you’re back? Hehehe...!" The steward wore an exceptionally warm smile.

Long Rui said coldly, "Cut the smile, it makes me anxious. Hurry up and tell me, where did the silver come from?"

The steward’s eyes began to shift, looking guilty like a thief, further deepening Long Rui’s suspicion. He furrowed his brow and said, "If you don’t speak up, watch out for your head."

Prince, how can you always threaten a humble man?

With no other choice, the steward had to honestly recount everything that had just happened to the Prince.

After finishing, the steward drooped his head, waiting for the Prince’s punishment.

Before Long Rui could speak, Long Yi exclaimed, "What? The Princess Consort sold all the women?"

The steward’s head hung lower and lower, almost touching his knees, like a child who had done something wrong, his voice barely audible: "Sold them."

Long Yi asked again, uncertainly, "Sold to Yihong Brothel?"

The steward didn’t dare to look at the Prince or Long Yi: "Yes!"

Among this group of women, many were spies for the Emperor. For so many years, the Prince never dared to act against them, but the Princess Consort, with swift decisiveness, settled them all at once.

Long Yi looked worriedly at the Prince: "Master, the Princess Consort...!"

Unexpectedly, Long Rui burst into laughter: "Good, she’s truly my woman. She’s done well. I’ve long been displeased with those women. Now we save money and Kung Fu, absolutely brilliant, hahaha...."

Long Yi and the steward exchanged looks, puzzled that the Prince wasn’t angry at all but rather pleased?

The steward cautiously asked: "Prince, you’re not angry?"

Long Rui glared at him: "Crazy? Why would I be angry?"

The Prince had so many female companions sold by the Princess Consort, yet he wasn’t angry?

Long Rui: "For how much were they sold? Credit all of it to my account. We’ve supported them for so many years; let’s see if we took a loss or not."

The steward wore a helpless expression. How did the Prince become as money-minded as the Princess Consort?

Steward: "Prince, the Princess Consort also sold fifteen servant boys to the tea house as male prostitutes."

Just as Long Rui was about to step into the mansion, he stumbled, immediately stopped, turned around, and looked at the steward with an eagle-like gaze: "What did you say?"

The steward repeated, "The Princess Consort sold more than a dozen servant boys to the tea house as male prostitutes."

Long Rui’s face turned dark instantly, muttering to himself: "Is Madam itching for trouble? What kind of nonsense does she understand? No, I need to go back and straighten things out."

He finished speaking and hurriedly walked towards the mansion.

Long Yi looked at the steward and asked: "Steward, what do male prostitutes do?"

The steward gave him a strange glance, sarcastically asking, "Guard Long, do you really not understand, or are you pretending?"

Long Yi puzzled asked: "What do you mean?"

The steward said again: "Nothing much, just recalling that some time ago, Guard Long spread rumors that the Prince had a liking for men. I thought you knew."

Long Yi: "What does liking men have to do with male prostitutes?"

The steward: "Guard Long, are you really stupid, or pretending to be?"

Long Yi: "What do you mean?"

"It’s work between two men, don’t you understand?" The steward laughed mockingly and turned to instruct the guards to carry the several big crates of silver into the mansion.

Long Yi was utterly confused, muttering to himself, "Work between two men, what does that mean?"

Finally, he turned to ask the guard by the gate: "Do you know what it means?"

The guard blushed and bowed his head, "I don’t understand."

Seeing his embarrassed look, Long Yi suddenly had a light bulb moment, comprehending the situation, he exclaimed, "Damn, the Princess Consort went overboard with this."
