Chapter 231: Real siblings should dare to expose each other’s secrets!
The fall of Han shocked the world, with various reactions from different parties.
However, the protagonist of this affair remained as usual.
Life was still vibrant and peaceful for him.
It seemed as if the fall of Han had no impact on him at all.
The extraordinarily talented Prince Han Fei and Hongliang returned to Qin with him.
Li Wu, however, stayed in Xinzheng.
Since Han had just fallen, she was the only one capable of intimidating the remaining noble families of Han.
Back in Han, Han Fei continued to devote himself to his grand legal project.
To be honest, although he had lost some face this time, he gained the trust of Qin.
If Li Wu hadn’t been on Li Mo’s side, he and Hongliang wouldn’t have been able to return to their home country this time.
One would be sent off to Zhao for a political marriage.
The other would feel so guilty that they would commit suicide.
Implementing the rule of law in Qin was relatively easier compared to other countries.
The reforms of Shang Yang continued to influence Qin.
With this framework and preceding examples, Qin could easily accept it.
Before, Han Fei was just a guest minister with no specific official position.
But this time upon his return, Ying Zheng appointed him as a Ting Wei.
The position of Ting Wei was equivalent to the Minister of Justice in Han.
He was responsible for overseeing jails and revising laws.
Not only was it a substantial official position, but it also matched Han Fei’s desires.
Ying Zheng’s appointment of him to this position indicated his approval of Han Fei’s ideas.
From this day forward, Qin would move towards “ruling the world by law, and the enlightenment of Confucianism.”
In the manor, Han Fei, who came to visit, was discussing matters with Li Mo in the guest hall.
Li Mo took a sip of tea and slowly said, “Congratulations, Ting Wei Han, you can finally achieve your ambitions.”
Han Fei replied humbly, “Sir, without your recommendation, the emperor might not have so easily accepted me.”
Ying Zheng initially wanted to observe Han Fei for a longer period.
But since Li Mo vouched for him, the observation period was waived.
He directly moved from a temporary position to a permanent one.
Hongliang, upon hearing this, immediately said in a ghostly tone, “Exactly, without you, he would have long hanged himself in the dungeon.”
“Unable to fulfill his wish to implement the rule of law, even as a ghost, he wouldn’t be content.”
“Without Han Fei, the rule of law would be in eternal darkness!”
Hongliang mimicked a hanging posture vividly and expressively.
Han Fei’s face turned red.
One of the most embarrassing things in the world is not getting drunk and acting silly.
But having someone remind you of it after you sober up.
Han Fei thought that with his intelligence and acumen, he could avoid this embarrassment by going selectively unconscious during his social demise.
But he hadn’t expected this girl to act against the norm.
Every few days, she would help him recall the event.
“You’re very good at this; next time, don’t imitate it,”
Han Fei glared at Hongliang.
If it weren’t for having to thank Li Mo for his new position, he wouldn’t have come here.
This sister of his had been spoiled.
She always knew how to make him, her older brother, embarrassed.
But would Hongliang be afraid of him?
She said seriously, “Oh? You can do it, but no one can talk about it?”
“Brother, it’s not that I’m saying this, but you have such thin skin.”
“You said it, you did it, what’s so bad about admitting it?”
“I even think what you said was quite impressive.”
“If you’re not afraid of death, then why fear embarrassment?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you can’t find a wife. With your attitude, you’ll be a bachelor for life.”
“Learn from the one next to you. Look at him.”
“And then look at you. Sigh, it’s making me worried for you, brother.”
Hongliang went on and on, seemingly oblivious that her words had offended two people simultaneously.
Li Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.
He retorted, “What’s it got to do with me?”
Hongliangs big, bright eyes widened.
She said seriously, “Because you’re shameless. You’ve even hooked up with Lady Mingzhu and Lady Hu, aren’t you afraid of being drained by those two vixens?”
Great, she managed to offend two more!
Fortunately, Lady Mingzhu and Lady Hu weren’t present, otherwise, they would have had a few words to say to her.
They had quarreled more than a few times before.
Hongliang wasn’t afraid either.
With her small mouth, she could take on two people at once and leave them speechless.
Before Li Mo could say anything, Hongliang turned her attention to Han Fei.
She said earnestly, “If you had half his thick skin, I’d already be an aunt.”
“When are you going to find me a sister-in-law and have a nephew for me?”
Han Fei blushed again.
He quickly interrupted, “Alright, alright, stop talking. I am currently focusing on my career and have no time for these things. If you have nothing to do, go find your master. Why are you here causing trouble?”
Today was really strange.
Hongliang usually followed Yan Lingji around every day.
But today, she hadn’t gone to find her beloved master yet.
Hongliang sighed softly.
“Sigh, I want to, but my master hasn’t gotten up yet. I’ve gone to find her several times, and she kicked me out each time.”
Han Fei was shocked and looked at the sun outside.
It’s already afternoon, and she hasn’t gotten up?
“Is your master sick?”
Hongliang immediately became vigilant: “Oh, that’s possible!”
Who sleeps this much?
“I’ll go check on her again. If she’s sick, I’ll find a doctor.”
Li Mo hurriedly stopped her.
“Don’t go. She’s not sick. Let her sleep a bit longer.”
She was indeed not sick.
Last night was just hard work; she toiled all night.
Not everyone can be like him, staying up all night and still be energetic.
Seeing Hongliang stand up, Han Fei’s face lit up with joy.
But when he saw her sit back down, his face filled with disappointment.
Hongliang noticed Han Fei’s changing expression and said discontentedly, “It seems like you can’t wait for me to leave. Am I bothering you?”
…
Han Fei waved his hands repeatedly, “No, no, absolutely not.”
“Just… just don’t talk, please.”
Her chattering was giving him a headache. He really didn’t know how she had so much to say.
And every word seemed to hit his sore spot.
A girl like this is simply unbearable!
“Annoyed by me?”
Hongliang widened her eyes and slapped the table angrily as she stood up.
She crossed her arms and inspected Han Fei up and down, threatening with a humph, “Do you believe it or not, I’ll go to Sister Zi and let the world know about your affairs?”
“I’ll spread it to the state of Qi, to Xiaosheng Xianzhuang, to Old Man Xun, and to your brothers.”
Han Fei’s face changed instantly.
This girl was truly ruthless.
“If you… you… you dare!”
Hongliang raised her eyebrows, “Just try me.”
Han Fei was so furious that his face turned purple.
If this got out, how could he face the world?
“If… if you dare spread it, I’ll publish your affairs too!”
Hongliang scoffed, “What do I have to fear?”
Han Fei smiled mysteriously, his smile radiant.
But Hongliang felt a chill from his smile, sensing something bad.
Han Fei’s smile grew more sinister.
Hongliang’s momentum weakened, her worry growing.
Finally, Han Fei spoke.
With deep emotion, “Royal Brother, you tell him, in the next life, Hongliang will wear bridal clothes for him.”
“Royal Brother, you tell him, Hongliang doesn’t want to marry anyone else, Hongliang can’t bear to… boohoo…” (Han Fei mimicked her previous words)
