Budugen immediately bowed in gratitude and swore to be loyal to Liu Wei forever.

Liu Wei kept his word, which made Budugen respect this prince and marquis who had come to the border region to assume his fiefdom even more.

Immediately, someone came over and sent Budugen's two centurions to the valley to lead the people.

“If your sons stay, then your wives don’t need to stay by my side.”

"When I have time, I will teach your children to read and write, learn martial arts, and serve as my personal guards."

"Guo Luo, Yang Yi, you can take care of these children for now!"

Then, Liu Wei announced the fate of these hostages.

Upon hearing this, Budugen immediately knelt down with his wife and children to express his gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wei spared his wife and even allowed his son to learn to read and write. This is such a wonderful thing!

"As for your sister and the others, they shall also stay and serve my family."

"Xiao Guizi, from now on, you will be in charge of arranging and managing these ten women, and take good care of Miss Diaochan's daily life."

Xiao Guizi was overjoyed.

Now he finally has his own subordinates.

Upon hearing Liu Wei's words, Budugen's sister felt a pang of disappointment.

On the way here, Budugen told her to serve the Marquis well in the future.

If one could catch the eye of the Marquis and become his woman, then one would be able to enjoy wealth and honor from then on.

But now the Marquis is very indifferent to her, as if he doesn't think much of her.

She thought she was good-looking, but she was once frustrated and couldn't be happy.

At this moment, Diao Chan, who was wearing a veil, seemed to have noticed the change in her expression.

With a thought, she gracefully stepped out from beside Liu Wei.

She bowed gracefully to Liu Wei: "My lord, why don't you let this young lady stay by my side forever?"

"My lord is busy with many affairs of state, and I also wish to have someone to talk to."

Since Diao Chan has taken the initiative to request it, that's wonderful!

Liu Wei nodded in agreement.

So this is the Marquis's woman?

She wore a veil; was she afraid to show her true face, or did she possess a stunning beauty?

Budugen's sister was utterly astonished.

"Then...then I beg Your Excellency to bestow a Han name upon my sister as well!"

Budugen, now also known as Liu Du, seized the opportunity to step forward and said with a greedy grin.

"Then let's call her Liu Yifei!"

Liu Wei casually gave her a name that sounded like "Fairy Sister".
