"Prince Wang, absolutely not."
Geng Ling quickly waved her hand to refuse.
"You have already provided us with food and hired teachers for us, giving us the opportunity to study. Now you are giving us so much money. We really don't deserve it."
"Yes, we all remember your kindness to us, but we can't take this money."
A woman with a cold appearance and temperament said softly, "We are already very satisfied with the life we have now. You can keep this money!"
Another woman continued, "Prince Wang, we are unable to repay your kindness. We truly cannot accept this money."
The women's eyes were full of gratitude, and they all refused.
They knew that Wang Yan's kindness was difficult to repay and did not want to accept such a generous gift.
Wang Yan looked at the determined expressions of the girls, feeling both emotional and helpless.
After a moment's thought, he said, "I know you feel unworthy of this, but in my opinion, this is just a small token of my appreciation."
"Take this money first, just think of it as a loan from me. Pay it back when you are able to earn money in the future."
"You live here and need some money to buy the personal items you need for life."
"Since you stay here, I hope you have a better life."
"Don't worry about anything, just take them! One bundle per person."
The women could hear the sincerity in Wang Yan's words, and their hearts were moved even more.
Some people were so moved that their eyes were red.
Geng Ling bit her lip and said softly, "Master, we appreciate your kindness, but this amount of money is too much..."
Wang Yan waved his hand, interrupting her: "Not much, not at all."
"Just think of it as a scholarship, or a betrothal gift..."
Wang Yan subconsciously shrank his neck.
What a rotten mouth! Why doesn’t he control himself? He says everything. How embarrassing.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at Wang Yan with strange eyes.
What does this guy mean?
How can this money be considered a betrothal gift?
Is he going to marry all sixty-nine girls?
"Boss, take Wushuang with you when you marry a wife!"
Chen Hu said seriously, "I've already married so many women, so Wushuang won't make a difference."
As he said this, he pushed Cheng Wushuang and said, "Hurry up and accept the betrothal gift."
"You... go to hell."
Cheng Wushuang's cheeks flushed as he kicked Chen Hu on the calf.
"Ah, it hurts." Chen Hu quickly hid far away.
"Girl, how come you can't even tell good from bad?"
"For someone like you, being the concubine of Young Master Wang, you can just be happy!"
"Stop messing around, both of you."
Wang Yan rubbed his aching forehead.
"Wushuang, quickly give the money to them. After that, I'll have dinner. I'm hungry."
"oh."
Cheng Wushuang said "oh" and looked at the others.
"Young Master Wang likes to joke around. Don't take his words seriously, but don't treat them all as jokes either."
"After all, there's no cat that doesn't like fish!"
"If you want to take him down, you have to work hard on your own."
Wang Yan tilted his head and listened with his eyes wide open.
It's only been two days, why is this girl so naughty?
"Everyone, hurry up and take the money. If you don't, Young Master Wang won't eat."
"He was so busy delivering supplies to General Tan that he didn't even have lunch."
"Don't let him go hungry. Take it all! Then you can eat..."
Cheng Wushuang's words made the girls stop refusing. Geng Ling hesitated for a moment and took the lead to step forward and pick up a bundle of banknotes.
Then, with red eyes, she bowed to Wang Yan.
"Since you insist, we will accept this money for now. If we have the ability in the future, we will definitely repay you for your kindness."
Another woman also picked up a bundle of banknotes and bowed deeply to Wang Yan.
"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. Your kindness is great, and we will never forget it..."
…
The girls expressed their gratitude one after another, but Wang Yan remained silent with his mouth tight.
The ancients clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, which was so simple.
Seeing that they still had a few bundles left after taking the money, he said, "Xu Dong, you can put the rest away and use it for your daily expenses here."
Soon, delicious dishes were served on the table.
Wang Yan saw the bright red color of the braised pork, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
“It’s just the right amount of salty and not greasy, not bad.”
"Everyone, stop looking and just eat!"
Everyone then started to pick up their chopsticks.
Geng Ling had never eaten braised pork slices before. She carefully picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the taste and texture are just amazing."
Another person chewed his food and said, "The roasted spareribs are delicious too. They are so fragrant."
One soldier said, "It's really delicious. I've never tasted it before."
"Haha." Luan Fang laughed.
"Don't worry if you laugh at me, I've never tasted anything this delicious before."
"It's not just you who hasn't eaten it. I never thought that one day I would be able to eat such a sumptuous meal."
"We are people who only eat grass roots and tree bark. We have never eaten this kind of vegetable, let alone this kind of rice."
"This is the most sumptuous meal I have ever had in my life."
“It was also the best meal I have ever had in my life.”
The girls were very happy at first, but as they talked, their mood gradually became depressed.
Some people even shed tears.
Du Xin said to Wang Yan in a choked voice:
"Sir, the reason I don't want to go back is because I will be looked down upon by my family."
"My relatives said I had a tough life and was a jinx. They said my parents died when I was born."
