Hearing this, Luo Lan looked at them helplessly, "Madam Zhang, are you forcing me to accept this silver?"
Mrs. Zhang waved her hands quickly. "That's not what I meant. You saved Dazhi, and we really can't repay you. Silver is just a thing outside of our body. If you hadn't saved him, he would have died last time. In that case, what's the point of earning all this silver?"
Seeing that she was sincere, Luo Lan did not refuse anymore. She nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll take this money first. Madam, you can stay here for the time being. When Dazhi recovers, find out who he offended before you leave. Although my Prince Yu's Mansion is not as strong as a fortress, I have several martial artists in the mansion. They can guard the house without any problems."
At this time, she couldn't help but think that it was indeed a good idea to find a few people who knew kung fu to protect the house.
At this moment, Ah Hou came in and reported:
"Princess, that Zhang Yuan is here. He said he wants to see you for something."
Zhang Yuan?
Luo Lan frowned suddenly. Could it be that those gangsters were going to deny it again?
Thinking of this, she waved her hand and said, "Let him in."
At this time, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang also left and went directly to the west wing to see Dazhi. Dazhi had left the operating room in the morning, and Acai had been taking care of him for the past two days.
After Zhang Yuan came in, he knelt down without saying anything, clasped his fists and said:
"Princess Yu, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay you back the money you lent me anytime soon, so I've made an agreement with my mother. I'll serve in the palace and not ask for a single cent of salary for three years, in exchange for paying off the debt you've paid for us."
Hearing this, Luo Lan looked at him in surprise. Why was he asking for someone to pay off his debt with a person?
"Zhang Yuan, I've told you before that you don't have to rush to pay back the debt I paid for you, and you don't have to take it to heart and put too much pressure on yourself. If you come to work in Prince Yu's Mansion for this reason, I can't accept you. Besides, I'm not short of people here."
"princess……"
Zhang Yuan suddenly became anxious. He clasped his hands together and said:
"If the princess won't let me stay, then I have nowhere to go. Everyone in the city knows that I worked in the government office, but no one dared to hire me. Even if I performed on the street, no one would give me any money. My mother is old, and it's not suitable for her to leave her hometown. So, please accept me, princess. I can be a gatekeeper or do odd jobs in the palace. I don't want a salary. My mother said that as long as I can provide food for her, she can support herself by sewing for others."
Although Zhang Yuan said this, Luo Lan knew that he was still thinking about coming to the mansion to work to repay the debt she had paid for him.
After thinking for a while, she said to Zhang Yuan:
"How about this, I'll give you some silver, and you can go out and do some small business. When you make money, you can pay me back. It's really a loss for someone like you to be a servant in my house."
“Not a loss, not a loss.”
Zhang Yuan waved his hands and shook his head. "Princess, three years ago, when Prince Yu returned triumphantly, I witnessed his graceful demeanor. At that time, I thought, if I were lucky enough to be by his side, how glorious it would be. To this day, I still don't believe Prince Yu is that kind of person. Ever since meeting Princess Yu, I'm even more certain that he's definitely not that kind of person. Otherwise, given Princess Yu's personality, he wouldn't be so dedicated to Prince Yu's Mansion."
Luo Lan really didn't expect that Zhang Yuan had a relatively thorough understanding of the problem.
He was right. If Leng Yu was a sinister and treacherous villain, how could she stay with him so wholeheartedly?
Thinking of this, she nodded to Zhang Yuan and said:
"Well, since you want to stay, I have no objection, but I have a request."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan hurriedly said:
"Princess, please tell me. Even if you have ten requests, I, Zhang Yuan, will agree to them without hesitation."
"I don't want you to make ten requests. I just want you to...don't kneel easily in Prince Yu's Mansion. This rule is not followed here."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan looked down at his current posture with some embarrassment, then stood up with a grin, clasped his fists towards Luo Lan and said:
"Zhang Yuan has made note of this. Thank you, Princess, for taking me in."
Luo Lan shouted to the outside:
"Agang, come in for a moment."
Ah Gang trotted in, "Princess, what do you want?"
Luo Lan looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Zhang Yuan will stay in the mansion from now on. You can introduce him to everyone later, and then take him to meet the prince."
"Can I see the prince?"
Hearing her words, Zhang Yuan's eyes were filled with disbelief but also with a bit of excitement, "I heard that the prince..."
Having said this, he stopped talking and did not continue.
Luo Lan smiled, "Do you think the prince is going to die?"
"Zhang Yuan doesn't dare..."
"It's okay if you dare."
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows and blinked.
"Not only will the prince not die, but he will live a good life. However, you must keep this matter a secret from the outside world. Only those in our palace know about it. If the news leaks out, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Zhang Yuan clasped his fists and replied with a serious expression:
"Princess, please rest assured. Zhang Yuan would never dare to say anything nonsense. It is a great honor for Zhang Yuan to be able to see the prince up close!"
After hearing what he said, Luo Lan nodded to him and signaled Agang to take him to see the prince.
As soon as he left, Ayu came in. He came to Luo Lan with a pair of crutches and said apologetically:
"Princess, take a look. Is this craftsman's work feasible?"
It turned out that three days ago, the crutch that Ayu brought back was completely different from the one drawn on Luo Lan's drawing. Luo Lan was very unhappy, so he asked Ayu to find another carpenter to make it. In fact, it was no wonder. These ancient people had never seen a crutch, so how could they make one?
But looking at the crutch in Ayu's hand, Luo Lan stood up from the chair, took it in his hand and looked through it, then pointed to a place and said:
"There are too many burrs here. It's easy to hurt your hands. Go and fix it and then give it to me."
After receiving the order, Ayu retreated.
Ever since Xiao Lingzi came, A Yu has been able to free up time, and now she has a capable assistant.
Now that Zhang Yuan is here again, there are more and more people in this mansion.
If this goes on, by the time Leng Yu finally stands up, won't there be more people available?
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and chuckled to herself.
The next morning, Ayu finally brought the crutch that he had polished until there was not even a burr left to Luo Lan.
Looking at the crutch that had changed so much compared to yesterday, Luo Lan smiled with satisfaction, "Ayu, your craftsmanship is quite good."
Ayu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."
Luo Lan came into the house with a cane. Leng Yu was talking to Xiao Lingzi. Seeing the cane in his hand, he asked curiously:
"This... is the crutch you mentioned?"
"right."
Luo Lan nodded, took the crutch in front of him and tucked it under his arm, demonstrating to him.
"Just like this, use your arms to push, let these crutches replace your legs, and you can tentatively land your feet."
Leng Yu suddenly took the crutch with some excitement and said to Xiao Lingzi:
"Come on, let me try."
