Chapter 29 Fang Yi'ai's Choice
You can think that way!
Who would have thought that Wei Shuyu would so readily admit it?
"very good!"
Li Tai burst into wild laughter, then his smile vanished, revealing a sinister expression: "No one has ever dared to threaten me in my entire life, you are the first!"
"Then I should be glad?" Wei Shuyu replied dismissively.
"Yiai, what do you say?"
Li Tai stopped wasting words with Wei Shuyu; his purpose for this trip was to win over Fang Yi'ai.
"King Wei, elder brother..."
Fang Yi'ai looked at Li Tai, then at Wei Shuyu, unsure of what to do.
He never expected that Wei Shuyu would go against the King of Wei for his sake.
This is the King of Wei!
The King of Wei, who dared to challenge the Crown Prince.
If you offend him, your days in Chang'an will definitely not be easy.
Therefore, he was deeply moved by Wei Shuyu.
But he couldn't ignore his father's reputation.
"My dear Yi'ai, as long as you remain loyal to me, I will settle all your debts," Li Tai coaxed patiently.
Fang Yi'ai blinked, then looked at Wei Shuyu...
It's like they're saying, "Brother, what benefits are you going to give me?"
"You idiot, are you stupid? It's just a few thousand strings of cash. You can just tell your father. So what if you get beaten up? You're not afraid."
"Like me, I lost two hundred dollars at the gambling den and got a double beating from my parents, but I still went out sweating profusely!"
Choi Shin-ki used his own experience to teach him that you can't kill your own flesh and blood!
Fang Yi's heart was moved.
As Choi Shin-ki said, if he's his own son, would his father beat him to death?
A mere beating, but it brings peace of mind in the future—it's well worth it.
Following the King of Wei seems glamorous.
They could get involved in the struggle for the throne, and then they wouldn't even know how they died.
"Shut up!"
Lee Tae-suk glared at Choi Shin-ki with such fierce eyes that it seemed he wanted to tear him apart.
Choi Shin-ki jumped in surprise and quickly shrank behind Wei Shu-yu.
“Yiai, the reputation of the Prime Minister Fang throughout his life cannot be ruined in your hands,” Li Tai advised again.
Fang Yi'ai did not respond, but instead looked at Wei Shuyu: "Brother, don't you have anything to say?"
"What did you say?" Wei Shuyu asked back.
"Aren't you going to try to persuade me whether or not I should follow you?" Fang Yi'ai asked shamelessly.
"you?"
Wei Shuyu immediately gave him a look of disdain: "You're no good at fighting, no good at studying, you have no money, and no power. What use are you besides being another burden?"
“Little Jiji is at least the eldest son of the Cui family, and he has a very high chance of inheriting the Cui family in the future. You only have a second son, and you won’t even get the lion’s share of the inheritance. What use are you to me?”
I could tell from their eyes that they genuinely disliked him.
Wei Shuyu's merciless sarcasm left Fang Yi'ai stunned.
Thinking about it carefully, damn it, that's really the case.
Even Li Tai was caught in a daze.
He began to wonder if it was worth the great effort he had put into winning over Fang Yi'ai.
"So it turns out that Yi'ai is a real estate slacker."
Choi Shin-ki immediately showed a disdainful expression.
That look seemed to say, "Are you worthy to call me brother?"
"..." Fang Yi'ai's lips twitched: "Well, King Wei, for ten thousand strings of cash, I'll follow you."
Now it was Li Tai's turn to make a fool of himself.
Ten thousand strings of cash?
Do you deserve it?
If it's a trap to completely control Fang Yi'ai, then he might consider it.
But now that the price is clearly marked, he wouldn't dare use it even for a single penny.
These subordinates, acquired through bribery, might turn on you at any time.
"Yiai, have you thought it through?"
Li Tai's face gradually darkened: "The future of the Tang Dynasty depends on either me or the Crown Prince. Are you sure you want to stand against me?"
Fang Yi'ai straightened his back and replied with his head held high, "I am loyal only to His Majesty!"
"How do you plan to repay that debt of nearly three thousand strings of cash?" Li Tai sneered.
Well……
Fang Yi'ai glanced at his leg, gritted his teeth, and said, "The worst that can happen is that I get my leg broken!"
At this point, he realized that it was better to lose some money and reputation than to force Fang Xuanling to join the struggle for the throne.
"Okay, okay, okay..." Li Tai gritted his teeth and said three "okay"s, trying his best to suppress his anger.
He turned to look at Wei Shuyu: "Wei Shuyu, I will remember you."
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Tai left.
"etc……"
Wei Shuyu suddenly stopped Li Tai.
"What is it?" The killing intent in Li Tai's eyes was almost impossible to suppress.
"I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it," Wei Shuyu said awkwardly, touching his nose.
"Speak!" Li Tai said with a dark face.
"I'm really puzzled. We're both sons of prime ministers, so why did you go to such lengths to win over a fool like Fang Yi'ai, but not me?"
To win you over?
Li Tai scoffed.
Who would want Wei Zheng, that stubborn and obnoxious rock?
Are you trying to shoot yourself in the foot?
"Perhaps the Crown Prince needs your father's help more." With that, Li Tai left.
Wei Shuyu rolled his eyes, as if he had been insulted.
It seems that both the Crown Prince and the King of Wei would love for my father to join the other side.
"Big brother... how did I do?"
After Li Tai left, Fang Yi'ai immediately became a sycophant and pledged his loyalty.
Now that he has offended Li Tai, he can only rely on Wei Shuyu.
"What did you show?" Wei Shuyu asked in return.
Well……
When asked this question, Fang Yi'ai realized that he really didn't have anything to brag about.
“House idiot, house good-for-nothing…” Choi Shin-ki muttered to himself.
"Cui the turtle, say another word!" Fang Yi'ai snapped. "All you ever do is hide behind your elder brother, you coward!"
“I am the eldest son of the Cui family and can inherit the family business. You are the second son and you won’t even get a share of the inheritance,” Cui Shenji retorted.
*Slap slap*
Wei Shuyu rewarded them with two sesame seeds, and the two immediately shut up.
"Little Jiji, take some money from that ten thousand strings of cash and pay off Xiao Ai'ai's debts," Wei Shuyu said.
"What?" Fang Yi'ai's eyes widened: "Brother, you have ten thousand strings of cash?"
"Do you think everyone is a penniless wretch like you?" Choi Shin-ki scoffed.
"Brother, you really are my brother." Fang Yi'ai went up and tried to hug Wei Shuyu.
As long as the debt is settled, his father's reputation will be preserved, and he won't have to get beaten up.
Bang.
Wei Shuyu kicked him away.
“I’m not gay, and with all that swill on you, what are you trying to do by hugging me? Get back at me?” Wei Shuyu scolded.
Fang Yi'ai patted his bottom, not angry at all, and bowed and nodded in response: "Big brother is right."
"Don't be too happy yet. The money isn't a gift; it's a loan." Wei Shuyu instructed, "Little Jiji, have this guy write an IOU later."
ah?
Fang Yi'ai's face immediately fell.
"Also, keep an eye on him. If he dares to buy things on credit from ordinary people's shops, we'll take the IOUs to Fang Xuanling and ask for the money back."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yi'ai slumped down, as if life had lost its meaning.
"Alright." Choi Shin-ki patted his chest. "Leave it to me, don't worry."
He was quite proactive in cracking down on Fang Yi'ai.
"go home!"
