“How is that possible? My brother hated the pirates more than anyone! How could he join them? You’re lying!”
Lüluo shouted, her voice trembling.
Seeing her distress, Yue Yun softened his tone. He suddenly tore open his shirt, revealing a long scar stretching from his chest to his abdomen.
“Your brother gave me this wound—with a Japanese sword. Would I lie to you about that?”
“No…” Lüluo shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
The old woman sighed. “Haiqiu, after you were sold, your brother changed. None of us expected he’d end up joining the pirates. Now, the whole village curses his name.”
Lüluo’s grief deepened. With a sob, she turned and ran out.
Yue Yun stood to chase after her but hesitated and sat back down. After all, Lüluo was now the Prince’s personal maid.
Xiao Ming had hoped to reunite Lüluo with her family, but this outcome was far from what he’d expected. He sighed. “Yue Yun, visit the nearby fishing villages and recruit as many skilled young men as possible.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Yue Yun stood eagerly, then helped his mother out of the government office.
