Liang Run politely saw Wang Siqi off downstairs, watching him get into the carriage and leave.
After the carriage carrying Wang Siqi had been gone for a while, Liang Run finally returned to the second floor.
Tong Xi had already stood up and gave his seat to Liang Run.
"Yao Yao, what’s the deal with this Wang Siqi, why did he suddenly stop forcing me to cooperate?"
"It’s simple, Eighth Brother didn’t let him force you to cooperate." Zhao Yao raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a bright smile, "It seems that in Eighth Brother’s heart, I, his younger brother, am still very important."
"The Eighth Prince?" Liang Run exclaimed, "The Eighth Prince knows about Wang Siqi forcing me to cooperate in business?" Updates are released by nοvelfire.net
"He probably knows, otherwise Wang Siqi wouldn’t have suddenly changed his mind." Zhao Yao sighed with relief internally. To be honest, he was really afraid that Eighth Brother wouldn’t stop Wang Siqi from forcing his second uncle to cooperate in business. If Eighth Brother didn’t stop him, it would mean that in Eighth Brother’s heart, he didn’t matter, which also meant that for Eighth Brother, there was only ambition, and no familial affection. Such an Eighth Brother would be terrifying, and in the future, he wouldn’t dare to get close to Eighth Brother again.
Fortunately, Eighth Brother did not disappoint him. In Eighth Brother’s heart, there was still family affection, and such an Eighth Brother was indeed his good Eighth Brother.
"That’s not right. Last night, Wang Siqi sent a letter saying he hoped to meet me today, and he hoped I could give him the answer he wanted." Liang Run expressed his doubts, "How did Wang Siqi suddenly change his mind in just one night?"
"He probably reported the matter to Eighth Brother last night, and Eighth Brother opposed him forcing you to cooperate in business." Zhao Yao speculated, "Before, he probably hadn’t informed Eighth Brother about forcing you to cooperate in business."
Liang Run nodded in realization: "So that’s how it is."
"Seeing how polite he was to you earlier, he must have been severely reprimanded by Eighth Brother after reporting to him last night." Zhao Yao said with a smile on his face, "Eighth Brother is indeed my good Eighth Brother."
Liang Run also smiled: "Yes, the Eighth Prince is indeed your good Eighth Brother." To be honest, he felt a sense of relief in his heart. Like Yao Yao, he was really afraid that the Eighth Prince wouldn’t stop Wang Siqi. The Eighth Prince was especially intelligent, with extraordinary skills and unfathomable schemes; he was really afraid they would become enemies with the Eighth Prince.
Zhao Yao said happily, "It’s really good not to be enemies with Eighth Brother." To be honest, he really didn’t want to be enemies with Eighth Brother, and even more, he didn’t want to become estranged from him.
Even though everyone in the palace didn’t like Eighth Brother, in his heart, Eighth Brother was the best brother. He really didn’t want to be in a brotherly feud with Eighth Brother.
In Eighth Brother’s heart, there wasn’t complete coldness and ruthlessness; there was still familial affection deep down.
"Yes, it’s really good not to be enemies with the Eighth Prince." Liang Run thought of how Wang Siqi had brought him a gift of apology before leaving. He hurriedly took it out from his embrace, and opening it, he saw it was a pair of gold coins. He exclaimed in surprise, "This is too valuable, isn’t it?"
Zhao Yao picked up one of the gold coins and weighed it, finding it slightly heavy.
"It is indeed generous."
"This Wang Siqi is really so generous." Liang Run said in amazement, "Just giving two gold coins like that."
Zhao Yao said with deep meaning, "It’s not that he’s generous, but that he’s afraid of Eighth Brother."
"Yao Yao, what kind of person is the Eighth Prince?" Liang Run, who hadn’t met the Eighth Prince, was very curious about him, "Although Wang Siqi is a concubine’s son, he is the concubine’s son of the century-old Wang Family, and generally, it’s not easy to subdue him. Besides, he’s several years older than the Eighth Prince, yet he’s so afraid of him. What in the world does the Eighth Prince have to make him so fearful and obedient?"
"Second Uncle, I told you before that Eighth Brother is extremely smart and highly resourceful." Zhao Yao said, "I don’t even know how many things Eighth Brother has done over the years."
"The Eighth Prince is truly unfathomable."
"Second Uncle, you shouldn’t ask too much about Eighth Brother’s affairs." Zhao Yao warned, "The matters between Eighth Brother and Wang Siqi are not our concern."
Liang Run nodded slightly and said, "You’re right."
"Second Uncle, not only will Wang Siqi not force you to cooperate in business, but he will also secretly help you." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Second Uncle, you can be completely relieved."
"What, Wang Siqi will help me, how is that possible?" Liang Run said in disbelief.
"From what I know of Eighth Brother, he’ll definitely have Wang Siqi help you secretly."
"If that’s really the case, then the Eighth Prince is truly good to you."
"Eighth Brother has always been good to me, and both he and Fourth Brother are my best brothers." It seems, in the future, when Fourth Brother loses to Eighth Brother, if he pleads with Eighth Brother for Fourth Brother, Eighth Brother might spare Fourth Brother’s life for his sake.
