Chapter 534 - 531: Emulating the Heart of the Empress of Xiliang_1
Looking at his brother’s appearance, it seemed possible he had charmed the little maidservant. Aunt Luo asked, "Are you confident the Princess of Zhen’s personal maid is interested in you?"
"Of course! Your brother has seen many women! That little girl’s eyes are practically glued to me!" Luo Fugui exaggerated boastfully with a triumphant expression, "She is definitely fond of me!"
Although Aunt Luo remained somewhat skeptical, there was no harm in trying. Perhaps the little maid did indeed fancy her brother.
"I’ll give it a try!" Aunt Luo raised her eyes to look at her brother, "You, don’t stir up trouble for me these days. The Princess of Zhen just arrived today. Our master won’t have time to see you. Go back first. Wait for my news!"
"Alright! Your big brother knows. In our family, you love your brother the most! If it works out, brother will surely repay you well!" Luo Fugui patted his chest and said.
That night, Dong Qingyue personally went to see Madam Dong, suggesting that Madam Dong go to Shuoyang with Bai Qingyan, as it would also be a chance to accompany Mrs. Dong.
After a brief hesitation, Madam Dong said, "I cannot leave. If I leave, what will people think of you, the Governor of Dengzhou, when the Rong invade? I have spent my whole life in Dengzhou and still hold some prestige. When you evacuate the people, I may not be able to do much, but I can at least rally the people to follow me before the Rong arrive. Otherwise, if you ask them to leave with just words, the older generation may not agree!"
The young people of Dengzhou might follow the Dong household women in evacuating, but the elderly who could not move would likely remain out of a hopeful yet misplaced belief they could stay safely.
