Seeing Leng Ming's expression was somewhat moved, Leng Xi looked at him mysteriously.
"Ming'er, there are some things Fifth Brother dares not tell you. He's afraid that if he says too much and it gets leaked, he'll get into trouble. So Fifth Brother can only tell you that if you want to be valued by him and want to be with him again, you have to put aside your pride and go back to apologize to him first. Admit that you were reckless and didn't appreciate his good intentions. Then see how he treats you."
Leng Ming gritted his teeth, shook his head vigorously, and held his forehead with his hand.
"Let me apologize to him? I'm not going to apologize. If I do, he'll say I'm not calm enough and need to temper my temper. He might even assign me a job feeding pigs and chickens, which is worse than being a warehouse keeper. Fifth brother, do you have any other ideas?"
"There is no other way..." Leng Xi replied coldly.
"Fifth brother, if you have any ideas, just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone else."
Leng Ming could tell from Leng Xi's words that he wanted to say something, but was still a little hesitant.
Leng Xi looked at him seriously and asked solemnly:
"Are you serious? No matter what I say to you, you won't tell anyone else?"
Leng Ming raised one hand, swore an oath, and said with a solemn oath:
"Fifth brother, don't worry. I, Leng Ming, swear here that if what you said to me is known to a third person, I, Leng Ming, will be torn into pieces by five horses and suffer the pain of being homeless."
Seeing that he was serious, Leng Xi waved his hands.
"Brothers, there is no need to swear such a vicious oath."
He paused, then said seriously:
"I think we two brothers should join forces and consolidate our own strength. This way, Leng Yu will know that we are not to be trifled with. In other words, even if he really ascends the throne one day, he will not suppress us too much and leave us with no way to survive."
Leng Ming blinked hard a few times, looking at him with a confused look.
"Fifth brother, how can we join forces? I don't understand what you mean. I have nothing but a person and the useless identity of Prince Ming. What can I use to join forces with you?"
"Ming'er, Fifth Brother actually wants to protect you. Fifth Brother wants to see you happy. You don't have to take anything. Just do what I say."
"Okay, Fifth Brother, tell me what to do. I'll do whatever you say."
Leng Xi blinked his shrewd eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.
He had long wanted to place a capable person beside Leng Yu, but he had no chance. He also wanted to approach him in person, but the result was not ideal. Now that Leng Ming is here, as long as he makes good use of him, things will be much easier.
Thinking of this, he looked at Leng Ming with a deep gaze and waved to him mysteriously. Leng Ming hurriedly trotted to his side and listened to his words with his ears attentively.
After a while of whispering, Leng Ming shook his head vigorously.
"Fifth brother, this won't work. I won't hurt the children no matter what."
Leng Xi frowned, raised his hand and pressed it down, and said softly:
"I didn't ask you to hurt the children, nor did I ask you to kidnap them. I just wanted you to find an opportunity to gain merit in front of Leng Yu. As long as you do a great job, he will trust you again and even use you. Then you will have a chance to return to his side, and Luo Xue will also look at you differently. Do you still want to consider such a win-win situation?"
"But...but this is a bit risky."
Seeing that Leng Ming was still hesitant, Leng Xi waved his hand.
"If you have to think for a long time about such a small matter, then you are really not suited to doing big things. I don't want to help you anymore. Go and beg Leng Yu for his forgiveness and return to his side. Then Liu Luoxue may not look down on you, but she will think you are useless. Otherwise, you can sit back and be your Prince Ming. When Leng Yu ascends the throne, you can kowtow to him and he won't make things difficult for you. Just accept the position and don't even think about getting the beauty back."
"Fifth brother, don't be anxious. I will listen to you."
For Luo Xue, he is willing to try anything.
Leng Xi looked at him with a smile on his face.
"That's right. Fifth Brother won't harm you, let alone a few children. Fifth Brother is just creating an opportunity for you. In this way, you will have a chance to gain Leng Yu's trust, and he will reuse you."
Leng Ming pursed his lips and nodded with his eyes rolling. On the premise of ensuring the safety of the children, if he could perform in front of his fourth brother, he would not feel useless. Perhaps he would be valued by his fourth brother, and Luo Xue would also look at him differently.
"Okay, then I'll do as Fifth Brother says. I'll be leaving first."
"Go ahead. Come to me anytime if you need anything. Remember, don't go through the front door next time. Go through the back door to avoid attracting his attention."
The "he" he was referring to was naturally Leng Yu. He knew that Leng Yu was a shrewd man. If he found that Leng Ming was walking very close to him, he would definitely become suspicious.
It was almost dusk when Leng Ming came out of Prince Xi's Mansion. He rode his horse and headed straight for Prince Ming's Mansion.
He needed to go back and think carefully about what Leng Xi had told him, and make sure that everything was foolproof.
Prince Yu's Mansion
Leng Yu told Luo Lan everything that happened between him and Leng Ming during the day. Luo Lan gently pressed his shoulders and sighed.
"You too, why don't you just give him an official position instead of letting him be a warehouse keeper?"
"My lady, you may not know that there have been some problems in the military supply depot recently. I wanted to use this opportunity to train him and see how good his ability to judge things is, so that I can find a more suitable position for him. But he tried to fool me, which really disappointed me. He has always been playful since he was a child, but his mother was strict, so he hid his thoughts. Now that no one is controlling him, he is even more lawless. I really don't know what to do with him in the future."
"It's okay, he just has a childish temper. Maybe he'll come and apologize to you tomorrow. Don't be like him."
Leng Yu's hand passed over his shoulder, holding her hand, and then pulled her in front of him, letting her sit on his lap, and murmured with a sigh:
"I wish he were still a child. When he was little, he wouldn't hold a grudge no matter what I said to him. But now it's different. I can feel that he definitely holds a grudge. What do you think I should do?"
Luo Lan put her hands on his neck, blinked cunningly, and said with a calm smile:
"Let him hang out for three days. After three days, I will take Luo Xue to visit Prince Ming's Mansion. He wants to go out and work just for Luo Xue. Luo Xue is his weak spot, and only Luo Xue can persuade him."
Leng Yu tightened his arms, hugged Luo Lan in his arms, and nodded affectionately.
"Well, I don't have any relatives anymore. Although Leng Xi has come to seek reconciliation several times, I can feel that he and I are not as close as we used to be. It's impossible for us to go back to the way we were before. Now only Ming'er still calls me Fourth Brother, and he's the only one who is willing to interact with Prince Yu's Mansion. So, I don't want to lose this brother. Madam, I'll trouble you with everything. Please try your best to persuade Ming'er!"
"Don't worry, my husband, I will take care of it. I'm tired today, let's go to bed early!"
