I was also speechless, but luckily the fourth Manager was a good person to talk to, and during our conversation, he found out that he was knowledgeable and had an extraordinary conversation. I was curious, but logically speaking, why would such a talented person like him be willing to become a bandit when the time came?
"Um, the fourth Manager, can I ask you a hidden question? It may be offensive. " As I spoke, I carefully glanced at the the fourth Manager.
"Princess, please ask." the fourth Manager's eyes were filled with tranquility.
"To tell the truth, the rich and powerful students of the the fourth Manager, who are good to others, do not look like bandits that will burn and rob. Can you tell me why?" I looked at the fourth Manager in anticipation.
the fourth Manager's eyes flashed a hint of loneliness, as his thoughts sank into his memories.
"I wonder if Princess has ever heard of the Jiangnan Rong family." the fourth Manager looked at me and asked.
The Rong family in Jiangnan, I began to work hard to repeat in my heart, hoping to recall some clues.
"I'm sorry, but I wasn't a person of this place before. I just arrived not long ago, so there are many things that I don't know very well yet." I said awkwardly.
"No wonder. When the princess heard my name, she was not surprised. It was because the princess had never heard of my past." Rong Zhen laughed, the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness.
"I was the son of the former Patrol Officer of Jiangnan. I grew up in Jiangnan, and then my family fell to the ground and I was forced to become a bandit." I knew that he had omitted a lot of important details, but seeing the sadness in his eyes, I didn't press him further. After all, this was his privacy and he had no obligation to tell me.
"It's fine, it'll be even better in the future." I didn't know what to say, so I could only embarrassedly comfort him, "Then you and Third Master are brothers." I looked at the two of them in confusion.
"We aren't real brothers." As the the fourth Manager spoke, he glanced at the Third Master. The Third Master also had a sorrowful expression, as if he had said something wrong.
"I'm just curious to know. Actually, you don't need to answer. Who doesn't have secrets that others don't know about?" I smiled reassuringly.
"Actually, it's not a shameful matter. Just like how the princess said, who hasn't had a secret? There are some things that will only make you feel more miserable." As the fourth Manager spoke, he looked at the darkness in the distance, his eyes filled with a deep melancholy.
"I don't know what secrets Princess has, but I don't know if we can exchange them." the fourth Manager looked at me with eyes full of questions.
I looked at the fourth Manager, his eyes were pure, there was no other meaning, it was just pure curiosity.
"How about this, we will exchange secrets. I'll tell you a secret of my own, and you'll also tell me a secret of yours as well as the Third Master. That way, we can grasp the secrets of the other two without losing anything." I looked at the two of them with my eyes shining.
"If a woman like you lied to us, if we told you the secret and you lied to us, wouldn't we lose?" The Third Master's face was full of indignation, afraid that the the fourth Manager would suffer a loss here.
"Big Bro, can I say it first? Take a look and see if what I have said is a secret. Then, you can take out a secret that you can compare with." I rolled my eyes.
"Sure." the fourth Manager agreed readily.
"Alright then, it's a deal. I'll tell you my secret first. " I looked at both of them, and they seemed to be listening.
"That's right, I'm actually not the Zhenguo general's younger sister." I deliberately lowered my voice.
"What? You are not the general's own sister, you are a fake." The Third Master immediately became furious. But didn't General Bai announce that you are his long-lost little sister, that the Prince Jing has only adopted you as his sworn sister, that the Emperor has bestowed you with the title of Princess of Rong? You actually lied, you lied to the General, you lied to the Prince Jing, and you lied to the Emperor.
"Anyway, I've already told you my secret. So, that's a big secret, isn't it? As a man, you guys can decide for yourselves. If you fool me, you'll be struck by lightning." As I spoke, I narrowed my eyes and looked at the two of them. The Third Master was frightened by me.
"Just say it, don't shout it out loud, it will scare people." The Third Master looked at me in rebuke.
Since the princess is being so honest with me, then I will reveal my secret. Actually, I am a fugitive from the imperial court, and my family has already been beheaded. I was saved by Third Brother from among the corpses. the fourth Manager paused for a moment.
The Third Master looked at him nervously and quickly interrupted him. As we said, no one should mention the past. "
"It's fine. Since the princess trusts me, I should naturally express my sincerity. I was actually the late emperor's illegitimate son, so my foster father's family was beheaded by the entire family." After the fourth Manager finished speaking, his eyes were filled with killing intent and resentment that did not match with his temperament.
I immediately covered my mouth in fright. What's going on, Xiang Yuxing, oh Xiang Yuxing, how can your mouth be so cheap, are you playing any games with them? Now, I've finally heard the secret of others, but for such a shocking secret, you're probably going to be killed.
Then are you the Emperor's brother or younger brother? Your family couldn't have been exterminated by the Emperor, right? Heavens, you don't need to be so honest. You don't need to tell me such a big secret. I looked at the two of them vigilantly as I silently retreated a few steps away from the cliff and looked at them.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. As a person, you must be honest. How can I deceive you when a princess treats you with sincerity?" The the fourth Manager laughed and said.
"Alright, it's my turn." As Third Boss said this, the trace of smile on the corner of his mouth immediately disappeared. There was even a killing intent in his eyes, which scared me so much that I hurriedly waved my hands.
"No need, no need. Third Boss said it was enough to cover the two of you, so there's no need for you to say it. Besides, I feel that my head isn't enough for moving."
"No, you've already said it. If I don't say it, then I'll break my promise. I still have to say it, my secret." As the Third Master spoke, he glanced at the the fourth Manager.
"I'm actually the eldest son of Inspector Jiang Nan, Rong Zhen." As the Third Master said this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter smile.
