"Hey, Lao Deng, can you take a look at this bracelet? Is it the Empress Dowager's?" The third brother took out the bracelet and got down to business.
After looking at it for a while, Old Man Guan said, "It's a very good item, but I can't tell the dynasty. You can just say it belongs to whoever you want. Even the Empress Dowager probably doesn't know she has such an item. There aren't many people who really know about it."
Old Guan had a sudden inspiration, a smile spread across his face, and he winked at the third brother.
"You old bastard, you're up to no good again." The third brother knew Old Man Guan well enough to know that his smile was malicious.
Old Guan chuckled, "How about we make a fake one and fool that bastard dragon?"
The third brother... he knew it, he knew it, that old man was always thinking about how to trick people.
“I won’t do it. Who knows what kind of background she has? My family is just a small, insignificant family and can’t afford to offend her. If I don’t sell to her, she can’t do anything to me. It’s different from cheating her.”
“Look at you, so timid, you’re incapable of anything great. Think about it, if she’s been fooled, do you think she’ll let Deng Mingxia off the hook? Let me tell you, if we handle this well, we can achieve several things at once, and all the trouble will be resolved at once. Just listen to me, you won’t go wrong. I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice. We’re even contributing to the country. It’s only because of you. If it were anyone else, would I even give them advice? I wouldn’t even give them a second glance…” Old Man Guan smiled like a cunning old fox.
Third brother... "No, old man Guan, you really know how to beautify yourself. A big liar who has contributed to the country? You really have no shame. Are you giving me advice? You're just bored and have some bad ideas coming up to you, trying to amuse yourself."
Old Guan scoffed, "So what if they cheated us? When those bastards ran away, how much stuff did they take? Wasn't that all ours? It was all ill-gotten gains from exploiting the people. If I cheated them out of some, isn't that contributing to the country?"
The third brother... what he said makes so much sense. Even lies can be disguised as patriotism. Only this shameless old man could pull it off.
However, the third brother was still tempted to bring Deng Mingxia into the picture. "No, Master Guan, I'm afraid her family will try to harm me. My small body can't withstand it."
Old Man Guan looked at the third son as if he were an idiot. "Who does bad things? Do you do them yourself? Are you stupid?"
The third brother...
"You're too low-class. It's exhausting for me to talk to you. You're just getting older, but you're not getting any smarter. You're getting more and more useless as you get older." Old Man Guan finally seized the opportunity and gave his third son a good scolding.
The third brother was so angry he was grinding his teeth. If that old man were a few years younger, he would definitely give him an over-the-shoulder throw.
Old Man Guan's eyebrows twitched with laughter. "Speak up! Can't you speak properly? Speak up!"
The third brother said, "I am a righteous gentleman and I disdain your crooked ways and your wicked ways."
"Oh my god, are your left and right brains on vacation? What kind of good thing are you? If I'm doing crooked things, then you figure it out yourself. What kind of good old man is staying up all night to keep you company?" Old Man Guan was about to see the guest out.
The third brother said, "What's the point of sleeping? You can't sleep a full night. Why sleep so much in life? You'll have plenty of time to sleep after you die."
"Get lost, you little brat!"
"Alright, I'm off now. You can take care of that bastard dragon, old man." The third brother quickly left.
