Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 1438: Gravely Ill



"This girl, I heard you voluntarily sold yourself to come here?"

"Yes! My family is poor, we're almost out of food, and my father is seriously ill in bed, waiting for silver to save his life! There's really no other way." Long Yi, looking pitiful and tragic, picked up the handkerchief in his hand and lightly wiped away nonexistent tears.

"All are pitiable people."

Madam Wang sat up from the Noble Consort Chair, looking at Long Yi with compassion: "Is it worth sacrificing your own happiness for your family?"

The girl in front of her reminded her of her own life story. They were both doing it for their families, yet she was twice sold into the brothel by her own mother.

Thinking about this, her own life seemed much more tragic than the girl in front of her; at least she came voluntarily to save her father, whereas she had been pushed into the fire pit by her own mother.

Every time she thought of this, the heart-wrenching pain felt like a dagger piercing her heart. She told herself countless times not to care, but her heart still ached.

Madam Wang's gaze was too sharp.

Long Yi lowered his head even more: "As long as my father is alive, everything is worth it."

"Truly a good girl."

Madam Wang put down the pipe in her hand: "Raise your head and let me see."

"Yes." Long Yi carefully raised his head, not daring to blink even once.

Fearing that if he wasn't careful, Madam Wang would see through him and all his efforts would have been in vain.

The key was not knowing how to explain to the Prince.

"Oh my! So handsome, especially those big, sparkling eyes. Men who see you will lose their souls." Madam Wang praised continuously while observing.

Indeed, a good prospect, but unfortunately born into misfortune, fell into the brothel's dye vat, and this life is ruined.

"Have you decided how much you want to sell for?"

"This amount."

Long Yi raised one finger.

"One hundred taels."

"No."

Madam Wang was taken aback: "One thousand taels?"

Long Yi nodded. As a man, the greatest grievance in this life was to become a prostitute; he ought to earn a windfall, can't let it be too much of a loss.

Opening his mouth to one thousand taels of silver, is this truly a common girl?

Madam Wang expressed doubt; her eyes kept turning, re-evaluating Long Yi.

His skin was too delicate, looked nothing like an average Nong family girl.

"Who exactly are you?"

"A girl with no way out."

"You don't look like that to me?"

"Which part doesn't look right? Appearance? Or skin? These are all given by my parents. No matter how much I sunbathe, it doesn't darken or ugly, madam, haven't you heard a saying?"

"What saying?"

"Naturally beautiful people can't reject themselves; it speaks of people like us, hehe...!" As he said, Long Yi covered his mouth and chuckled, coquettish and charming.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang finally dismissed her doubts.

Indeed, there are always some people in the world who are naturally lucky; their skin can't be preserved by any sort of maintenance, yet she has such good skin even with a bare face every day, truly infuriating when comparing to others.

"One thousand taels is indeed a bit too much; why not halve it to five hundred taels, how about that?" Being sold by her parents back then only fetched five hundred taels, this girl claiming to be from a poor family opens with a thousand taels, this sort of demand doesn't sound like a common Nong family girl.

Five hundred taels?

A noble's integrity is only worth five hundred taels?

To speak, he even felt a thousand taels of silver was too little! A noble's integrity is priceless, isn't it?
