Song Hong ground his molars and said coldly: "What do you think?"
Wang Yongzhu looked a little embarrassed: "Gift from an elder, how dare I refuse! I didn't mean to ask for anything, it's just Madam's heartfelt intentions. If I decline it, wouldn't I be spoiling her goodwill? Lord Duke, don't you agree?"
Song Hong held back a curse in his heart.
After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence: "You're embarrassed? I think you're very shameless!"
Wang Yongzhu looked aggrieved: "Lord Duke, it's not like I'm taking Madam's favor for free, is it? You should know that the things under Madam's name given to me, they're not given freely; they come with conditions, right?"
"I've accepted these things from Madam, and now I have to be responsible for the livelihood of hundreds of people, plus those elderly left behind by County Lord Rongyi, who can hardly work and need to be cared for, which costs more silver, doesn't it?"
