People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Han Fei cried out, "Brother Cao, can you give me back that necklace?"

Cao Ze vaguely realized that Hong Lian had discovered that Han Fei had lost the necklace.

He said solemnly, "No!"

"Twenty gold coins!" Han Fei gritted his teeth and offered. He had borrowed fifty gold coins from his younger sister, which was quite a sum.

"This is not about money."

Thirty gold coins!

"Brother Han, you..."

"Forty gold coins!" Han Fei clung to Cao Ze's leg, on the verge of tears.

"Forty gold coins at most, no more!"

After he returned, he began to keep a close watch on his younger sister, preventing her from having any more opportunities to sneak into Zilan Pavilion.

But then his younger sister discovered that he had taken the necklace away.

The younger sister is now giving him only two choices: either find the necklace or invite Cao Ze to her palace tomorrow.

He did not hesitate to retrieve the necklace.

Taking Cao Ze to my younger sister's palace is like inviting a wolf into the house... no, Cao Ze is even worse than a wolf!

Cao Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, for Han Fei to be so shameless as to ask him for the necklace, based on his experience of watching thousands of episodes of Sherlock Holmes, Conan, and Edogawa, it must be that the truth has come out and Hong Lian has found out that Han Fei lost the necklace.

"Ahem, Brother Han, talking about money is too hurtful to our feelings. May I ask why you want the necklace back?"

Han Fei was probably tired of clinging to Cao Ze's coattails, and as soon as he loosened his grip a little, Cao Ze noticed and immediately pulled away.

He said dejectedly, "To be honest, this necklace was a gift from my mother before she passed away, so it has extraordinary significance for me."

Keep making things up. If it were true, would you have actually sold yourself for drinking in the original story?

Cao Ze asked, "Then why did Brother Han choose to mortgage it?"

Han Fei was speechless. He didn't know at the time. This thing was given to Honglian by his mother. Honglian didn't say anything when she gave it to him. He only found out recently.

"This, this..." Han Fei scratched his head. Why had he been so unlucky ever since he returned to Xinzheng?

Getting sick again, and exposing his sister, really...

"So Brother Han was lying to me."

Cao Ze looked up at the half-moon and sighed, "Alas! Brother Han, given our relationship, as long as you tell the truth, why wouldn't I give it to you?"

Han Fei rolled his eyes at Cao Ze.

说实话？

If you tell the truth, wouldn't you be eager to go to the palace to find his sister, carrying the necklace?

He is now helpless. His younger sister said that if he doesn't get the necklace back tonight, she will come to Zilanxuan tomorrow.

Damn it, a princess of a nation running to Zilan Pavilion to find a man, what kind of business is this!

"Brother Cao, will you give it to me or not?"

"No way!" Cao Ze looked down at Han Fei and said with a smile, "It was Princess Honglian who asked for it, wasn't it?"

Han Fei's eyes widened in terror, "You..."

It seems that it really is true... Cao Ze chuckled and said, "Brother Han, you should have said so earlier. In that case, I will send it to Her Highness the Princess tomorrow, and there is no need to pay."

Han Fei's eyelids twitched violently, "No way!"

Why not?

"This...this can't let you suffer a loss!"

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "Brother Han, your sister is my sister. Talking about money will only hurt our feelings."

Han Fei felt as if a bunch of alpacas were galloping through his mind.

It's better to hurt feelings. Do you really want to talk about feelings? Go talk to your Zi Nu girl!

"In that case..."

Han Fei stood up, closed his eyes, and clenched his fists.

Cao Ze raised an eyelid slightly. "No way, no way, you can't stand it and you're already preparing to use the Reverse Scale Sword to cut him down?"

"I'll go with you tomorrow!"

Han Fei said firmly that he would guard against Cao Ze at all costs.

He was already eyeing his sister even before he arrived in Xinzheng. Now that he's here, things are really getting out of hand. If we don't take precautions, he'll regret it later.

"Oh dear! I thought it was something serious."

Cao Ze didn't mind his brother-in-law accompanying him at all.

Han Fei had a bad feeling, but things had come to this point and there was nothing he could do.

I just hope my little sister can open her eyes a little wider.

Han Fei did not leave; he spent a gold coin to stay next to Cao Ze.

early morning.

Xiao Hongyu and Caidie helped Cao Ze get up and eat. When they saw Han Fei come in with bloodshot eyes, they were both startled.

Cao Ze asked in bewilderment, "Brother Han, are you having trouble sleeping?"

Han Fei snorted, "Stop eating, come back soon!"

Cao Ze took a bite of the steamed bun and mumbled, "Hey, don't be like that. People need food to survive. You'll get hungry if you skip a meal. Brother Han, why don't you eat something with me?"

Han Fei paused, smelling the aroma, when his stomach growled involuntarily.

She ate with Cao Ze, tears streaming down her face.

Hongyu and Caidie couldn't help but laugh.

After Cao Ze finished eating, he found a few pieces of clothing.

"Brother Han, what do you think I should wear to meet the princess?"

Han Fei, who had a toothache, pointed and said, "These two are quite nice."

Cao Ze praised, "Yes, Brother Han has excellent taste."

Then, Han Fei recommended him back, and with the help of Hong Yu and Cai Die, he put on a white robe, which made him look even more handsome.

Han Fei said sourly, "My sister doesn't like white clothes."

"It's okay, she'll like it when I wear it."

Han Fei: "..."

He felt he couldn't speak anymore; this guy was inhuman, showing no consideration for him, a patient.

Cao Ze reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Hongyu and Caidie, "You don't need to wait for me to come back."

Han Fei's forehead was covered in black lines. Did he want to stay in the palace instead of coming back?

Zi Nu watched Han Fei and Cao Ze leave from the third floor, then turned to look at the cold-hearted Wei Zhuang.

"Weren't you always looking forward to Han Fei's return to Xinzheng? Now that he's back, why are you ignoring him completely?"

Wei Zhuang's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold smile.

"To become my partner, one must have sufficient ability. I will not meet with him until he has demonstrated his value."

Zi Nu chuckled and said, "What about Mr. Cao Ze? He has already demonstrated enough and high enough value in the State of Zhao."

Wei Zhuang's hand holding the wine glass swayed slightly, and his sharply defined face was reflected in the clear wine.

He is now wary of Cao Ze and is unclear about Cao Ze's thoughts and intentions.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that this guy had designs on his capable assistant.

This is something he absolutely cannot accept.

"He's the same!"

"Is that so?" Zi Nu smiled brightly. Having learned a lot about Wei Zhuang, she naturally noticed the contradiction in his tone.

“Isn’t that right?” Wei Zhuang emphasized, speaking firmly.

He was a proud man, and no one could change his mind, not even his senior.

"Maybe so."

……

As the most beloved princess of the King of Han, Honglian had her own palace, which was named Honglian Palace.

Under the close watch of his brother-in-law, Cao Ze and Han Fei entered the palace and arrived outside the Red Lotus Hall.

Han Fei stopped in his tracks. "Brother Cao, where's the necklace?"

Cao Ze asked warily, "I'm holding it."

Han Fei smiled and said, "Leave it to me, I'll give it to my little sister."

"Give it to you? What if you lose it again?" Cao Ze shook his head repeatedly: "I want to hand it over to Princess Honglian personally."

Han Fei took a deep breath. This guy still has designs on his sister!

"Very well!" he squeezed out the two words through gritted teeth, then glanced around and stopped a palace maid, asking, "Where is Honglian?"

The palace maid bowed and said, "Her Highness the Princess has gone to Consort Hu's palace."

Han Fei was stunned: "Go to Hu Meiren's place? Are you sure?"

He clearly remembered that his younger sister had a very bad attitude towards Hu Meiren. Back then, she called her a vixen all the time. Why would she go to see her?

Suddenly, Han Fei's expression changed. Could it be that Consort Hu was planning to target Hong Lian?

"Brother Cao, let's go!"

Cao Ze was also wondering how Honglian and Hu Meiren got together. Hearing Han Fei's anxious voice, he could only go to Hu Meiren's side first.

After a cup of tea.
