Rong Mian sat on the ground, looking at Rong Qi in front of him. When did he start hating him? And when did he start sending people to kill him?

He had completely forgotten about it, but a voice kept telling him that he had to kill Rong Qi, kill him, before his father would even glance at him.

However, what he sought was something that others didn't want, or even disdained.

Rong Qi asked him, "Are you still going to kill me?"

Rong Mian gave a self-deprecating laugh: "How could I kill you? How could I possibly kill you!"

Rong Qi kicked him: "Then get up and go distribute the grain to me. Give each household a little tonight, and finish distributing all the grain in the next two days."

Rong Qi told Rong Mian to look at him, then kicked him again: "What, don't you understand?"

Rong Mian shook his head: "I understand. Just have the people below distribute them."

"I told you to go now, immediately." Rong Qi didn't give him a chance to speak again, and directly picked him up and threw him outside the door.

Rong Mian stood up, looking at Rong Qi in the courtyard, and muttered, "Fine, go then, why leave me here?"

The minor official in the courtyard, seeing that even the Third Prince had been thrown out, quickly ran out as well.

"Third Prince, are we going to distribute grain?"

Rong Mian saw him and kicked him directly: "You have to issue it, or you'll have to take the beating for me?"

"Ouch, Third Prince, please stop kicking me, okay? Just go!" The junior official clutched his backside and ran forward.

Rong Mian followed behind him, and just as he was about to leave, he heard Rong Qi speak again.

"You don't need to come back until all the people have received their gifts tonight."

Rong Mian wanted to argue with him, but he was afraid of getting beaten up.

I could only curse silently in my heart, "Hmph, I won't listen to you."

But the movements of his feet became even faster.

After he left, Rongyi looked at her master and asked, "Master, when did you go to the Jiaofang Palace?"

Rong Qi: "I didn't go."

Easy puzzled: "Then this hairpin..."

"I found it."

Rong Qicai wouldn't tell him that he only sent someone to Jiaofang Palace to take some of Li Wanyue's things in order to make Rong Mian believe him.

They easily give off an impression of "I don't believe you for a second."

"What, you don't believe me?"

If you hear your master say that, quickly shake your head, otherwise what follows might not be pleasant to hear.

Rong Qi...

Aren't you going to ask anymore? He's still waiting to say what he's going to say next!

Forget it, these two are getting more and more familiar with his tricks. I'll have to find a different approach another day.

"Rong Xin, go keep an eye on Rong Mian. If he slacks off, give him a beating."

Rong Xin accepted the order and went. Rong Xin always obeyed her master's orders without question, no matter who it was.

It wasn't until late at night that Rong Mian returned to the courtyard, exhausted.

Seeing Rong Qi sitting in the courtyard, drinking wine and eating snacks, Rong Mian felt his stomach was empty.

This bastard is living the high life here, while he's working until midnight. Rong Mian feels wronged.

Rong Mian walked over and had just picked up his chopsticks to eat when Rong Qi knocked them away.

Rong Mian was about to get angry when Rong Qi said something.

Did you wash it by hand?

Rong Mian was stunned for a moment, then turned around to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating, wolfing down his food like a starving ghost.

Rong Qi poured him a glass of wine: "You've got potential."

Rong Qi only picked at a few dishes during the meal, leaving the rest untouched; Rong Mian ate the rest.

Rong Qi asked, "Is it delicious?"

Rong Mian nodded: "You work for half a day and you're starving. Why don't you try it?"

"As long as it's delicious, that's fine. This meal is worth one hundred taels of gold. Give it to me when we get back to the capital." Rong Qi said, then turned and left.

Rong Mian...

There's something I'm hesitant to say.

He wanted to curse. What kind of crap is this? Just a few dishes and a few steamed buns, and it costs a hundred taels of gold.

He returned to the capital with 100 taels of gold, enough to buy a whole cartload of vegetables.

That bastard Rong Qi actually made such an outrageous demand! I'm going to go back to the capital and complain to my father, the Emperor.

After cursing in his heart, he thought to himself, "Heh... if my father knew, he would definitely still scold me."

After all, in his father's heart, he was a good-for-nothing, a troublemaker, and a scoundrel.

Regardless of what he thought, Rong Qi went back to his room after finishing his meal.

Before leaving, she told him, "Go back to sleep now, we'll continue tomorrow."

After saying that, she ignored him.

Rong Mian sat in the courtyard, thinking about what had happened today, what had happened before, and what had happened when he was a child.

When they were kids, they were inseparable, but things changed as they grew up. They became more and more ambitious, they became estranged from their family, and their brothers turned against each other.

Rong Mian joked that he must be the most unhappy person right now.

When Crown Prince Rong Xi had Rong Qi, who was favored by his father, what about him?

Rong Mian propped himself up and returned to his room. He didn't even have the strength to take a shower and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

Meanwhile, in another room, Rong Qi rested his head on his arm, gazing at the ceiling. He missed his little darling; she should be sleeping soundly right now, perhaps even snoring softly.

He was thinking of going back as soon as possible to see his little darling.

Things here must be finished in the next two days. Anyway, he gave Rong Mian the opportunity, now it's up to him to see if he can seize it.

If Rong Mian causes any more trouble, he'll take action.

And this is also an opportunity to see if he will mend his ways. If he remains incorrigible, then he will disregard his uncle's instructions.

He's only been able to endure this long because of his uncle; otherwise...

Rong Qi was lost in thought and didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
