Hearing this, the mustache man was naturally very happy. The moment he opened the wooden cage, he held up the indenture contract in front of Luo Lan. Luo Lan took the indenture contract, threw 20 taels of silver into his hand, and asked,

"Where are the men?"

"This way, young lady."

The mustache man led the way again. Luo Lan glanced at the two girls and said softly:

"Follow me."

Although the two girls looked a little disheveled, they still looked pretty. At least Luo Lan liked girls who were pretty and quiet.

The mustache man brought her to an iron cage where two young men were imprisoned. He pointed at the two men and said,

"They are also indentured. Males are more expensive than females. However, since you are buying multiple people from me, I will charge you 25 taels."

Luo Lan glanced at the two men. Their eyes were dull and their faces were thin. It seemed that they had not eaten for a long time.

Without hesitation, she handed the mustachioed man twenty-five taels of silver, took the two men's death deeds from him, and then led the four people out of the human tooth market.

She stopped on a wide street and looked at the four people. Each of them had been detained for a long time, so they looked pale and their clothes were tattered. Even Luo Lan, who had suffered a lot since childhood, felt a little distressed when she saw them.

But this is how human beings are. The strong will always be strong, and the weak can only be trampled and crushed by others. This is a fact that no one can change.

She glanced at the four of them and said directly:

"I don't care what you were called before. From now on, you are mine. I will give you new names."

The four people looked at her without saying a word.

She looked at the two girls and said:

"You two will be called Acai and Ahong."

She looked at the two men again and said:

"You two will be called Ayu and Ahou."

After naming these people, she looked at them seriously.

"From now on, you are the four great kings by my side. You don't have to listen to anyone else except me. Come on, follow me home now."

It was almost noon, and the useless prince might have urinated several times. She felt uneasy if she didn't change his diaper. She bought two suitable clothes for herself along the way, and bought two sets of clothes for each of the four servants, and some cotton cloth, and then hurried to the prince's palace.

As soon as they entered the mansion, they saw Ruyi standing in front of Butler Xu with her hands hanging down, as if she was saying something.

At this time, someone saw her come in and said softly:

"She's back..."

Ruyi turned around suddenly, and when she saw Luo Lan, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.

It turned out that she had been looking for Luo Lan on the street for a long time and couldn't find her. She thought she must have run away. She was reporting the matter to Butler Xu, who was scolding her and telling her to wait for a beating from Concubine Chang.

When Butler Xu saw Luo Lan, he came forward and asked, "Where have you been, Princess? We've made it easy for you to find me. We're worried you might get into trouble if you go out alone."

Luo Lan glanced at them with disdain, "Butler Xu, don't worry, I won't run away. Next time I go out, you don't have to look for me all over the world. You can all ignore the prince, I won't ignore him."

After saying this, she turned to Butler Xu and said:

"These are the maids and servants I hired. Tell the four people in the kitchen who cook that from now on, they will only serve me and the prince. None of you are allowed to order them around or bully them."

After warning these people, without waiting for his reply, she raised her foot and walked towards the courtyard. She was really worried about the prince, so she didn't want to stay any longer.

At this time, Leng Yu was lying on the bed, his heart broken. He knew that he was once again living a lonely life waiting for death.

He didn't know when this kind of day would end. He shouted in the room all morning, but no one came in.

He even thought that if someone came in, he would be willing to exchange all his treasured jewels for a stab in the back, but no one was willing to approach him, even though his voice was a little hoarse from shouting.

He couldn't even drink a sip of water right now; the phrase "life is worse than death" was most appropriate for him.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and that gentle and familiar voice came in like sunshine.

"I'm late, I'm sorry!"

He was surprised. That woman came back?

When he saw her really appear in front of him, he was speechless and his eyes were red.

He thought she was gone and didn't want him anymore, and he became that annoying paralytic again.

He never dreamed that she would come back and apologize to him as soon as she entered the door.

What kind of person is this woman?

Luo Lan didn't have time to think about it. He put down the things in his hands, helped him change his bladder, wiped his thighs, and then began to mutter:

"I was out for a long time today and was delayed. I won't do that again next time. I won't let you step on this wet mat again. Doesn't that make you feel uncomfortable?"

Leng Yu looked at her coldly, "Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?"

"Where can I go?"

She took a clean mat and placed it under him, and continued:

"Nominally, I am the princess of your Yu Palace, and my status is very noble. Would I be so foolish as to leave here and become a country girl?"

"snort!"

He sneered again, "Noble? How can you be noble when you serve a useless person like me? It's extremely humble."

Luo Lan ignored his words and looked at him with a smile on her face.

"You know, I exchanged your jade pendant for two hundred taels of silver. Two hundred taels is enough to last for a while. But don't worry, I saved it for the longest time. When I have money in the future, I will definitely redeem it for you."

Her words surprised Leng Yu. He looked at her and asked, "You went to the pawn shop?"

"Yes, the pawnshop owner was very nice. He originally only offered me 100 taels, but I asked for 200. Hehe, I'm pretty cool, right?"

He did not respond to her, his deep, dark eyes filled with a complicated expression.

After a while, he couldn't help asking again,

"I thought... you wouldn't come back."

He finally said what he had been holding in his heart all morning.

Luo Lan was stunned at first, then squinted her eyes and smiled at him, a clear look flashed in her crystal eyes.

"I told you I won't leave until you stand up and yell at me. I won't leave now. Oh, and I just bought four new servants. That way, I'll have someone I can trust around me when I need help. I don't care about any of the maids and servants in your palace."

While she was chatting with him about family matters, she took his arm and massaged it.

"You need to massage your arm more to promote blood circulation. After the wound on your leg heals in a few days, I will massage your leg again. By then, your leg will regain sensation."
