The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Qin Haifeng smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, they just ate too well and were too full. If you let them go hungry, I guarantee they won't cause trouble or fight."

He felt that these servants were young but loved to eat.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to reduce the amount of food they eat and see how much food is wasted by a group of guards who just guard the house.

However, Ning Yi shook his head slightly: "When you are growing, you naturally need to eat enough."

"Besides, the training is quite intense every day, so naturally, I can't reduce nutrition."

Although Shu Tong eats a lot, the daily training is not an exaggeration and is really hard work.

In addition to learning to read in class, there are also morning exercises, training in the morning, training in the afternoon, and occasionally training in the evening.

They would even blow a whistle in the middle of the night to wake them up, make them dress properly and stand in line, and give those who got up late a beating.

The guards were all terrified. With such training, it was a good thing that these little guys could hold on.

That’s not all, there is also archery training, horse riding training, and dozens of war horses, which almost become exclusive to the little kids of the second batch.

Of course, for the students in the third period, it is not yet time for them to receive horse riding training, so this needs to be done slowly.

After a few days, these students no longer dared to fight casually. Even if they disliked each other, they would make sarcastic remarks from time to time.

The instructors are watching us. Anyone who dares to cause trouble or fight will be dealt with.

A servant came in and reported, "Your Highness, there is a Mr. Zeng from Jiangdong who wants to see you."

Ning Yi didn't take it seriously at first. He said calmly without even looking up, "No."

He doesn't have time to meet these gentlemen from Jiangdong.

Ever since Ning Yi went to Jiangdong to make arrangements and provide disaster relief, many famous gentlemen or powerful families in Jiangdong have been visiting him.

Ning Yi had no interest in any of them. They just wanted to see if they could get some benefits from the disaster relief from Ning Yi.

After all, the disaster relief efforts this time are very large.

However, Rou'er, who was standing next to him and explaining the content of the information, couldn't help but shudder when she heard the name Mr. Zeng.

The documents in her hand fell to the ground.

Rou'er panicked and quickly picked it up: "Your Highness, please forgive me, Rou'er was careless..."

Ning Yi frowned: "What's wrong, are you sick?"

Rou'er shook her head slightly, remembering the last time Ning Yi saved her from the prince's wife.

Just let him manage books and things like that, and Rou'er has gotten much better.

It's not like when I first started working as a maid, where I would be afraid and frightened at the slightest thing.

It was also thanks to Ning Yi's recent persuasion. After all, it was not easy to find a girl whom he could trust and feel at ease with.

The reason why I believe in Rou'er is that she has no contact with the outside world and is alone, and the housekeeper has also made inquiries about her.

Her father was indeed in the refugee camp, and she did have a younger brother who was skinny and seriously ill.

Her father, as described by the refugees in the refugee camp, was a well-educated scholar who had fled from Jiangdong and spoke with a strong Jiangdong dialect.

And it was indeed his daughter who was taken away by human traffickers, and he was extremely anxious and had no idea what to do.

Similarly, Rouer's performance in Wangyue Tower and in front of the prince's wife showed that she still listened to him very much.

At least when facing danger, she won't just run away without caring about anything. That's enough.

In addition, Ning Yi also said that he wanted her to leave and reunite with her father, but Rou'er refused. She was willing to sign a lifelong contract to sell herself and work like a slave just to repay Ning Yi for saving her life. She did not need monthly wages, just wanted to have coarse food to survive.

In this case, there is no reason for Ning Yi not to believe her, but to believe the group of female servants from the Yang family who came with Yang Ziqin, right?

In their hearts, Yang Ziqin is always the most important, and now they still call her "Miss" all the time.

Seeing Rou'er's current performance, Ning Yi said calmly: "If you have something to say, just say it. I don't want you to hide anything in front of me."

"Rou'er dare not hide anything from Your Highness." Rou'er bit her lip and finally said, "Your Highness, Rou'er's surname is Zeng, and my family is from Jiangdong. I wish to see this person whose surname is Zeng and who is from Jiangdong..."

Ning Yi understood and nodded, "Is it probably your father?"

Rou'er shook her head slightly: "Rou'er didn't see it, so I dare not say anything."

"In that case, call him in." Ning Yi said lightly.

When the servant left, Rou'er's two young eyes kept looking at the door with great anticipation.

She was really looking forward to meeting her father in person.

From the moment she entered Wangyue Tower, she knew that she would probably never see her family again in this life.

Her father and brother are the most important family members in her life.

After all, blood is thicker than water, and she knows her father and the situation in this world.

She had been to a brothel, but she didn't dare to see her father, for fear that he would think she was bringing disgrace to the family.

When the servant led in a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties, his clothes were worn and wrinkled, but his robe was obviously well-preserved, his hair was still a little messy, and it was tied with a piece of cloth.

His eyes first came in and looked around at the standing girl Rouer.

There was a complicated expression in both eyes. Zeng Rou's face was also extremely shocked and even more excited after seeing him.

Ning Yi also observed that Zeng Rou's appearance was not fake at all. It seemed that this man was really her father.

Moreover, the two of them have many similarities.

The man simply glanced at his daughter with a complicated expression before kneeling and kowtowed to the young man in splendid attire sitting in the main seat. "Jiangdong scholar, Zeng Zhizhong, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

From his actions, the names he used, and his various etiquette.

Ning Yi could be sure that he was indeed a scholar.

He nodded slightly and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zeng Zhizhong stood up and stood quietly in front of him.

But his body was straight and he looked like a very ambitious man.

Of course, there is still a lot of scholarly atmosphere.

Ning Yi asked leisurely, "Tell me, why did you come to see me?"

Zeng Zhizhong bowed and said slowly, "Your Highness, I am here this time."

"Just two things."

"First, I hope Your Highness will allow Zeng to take my daughter away."

Ning Yi glanced at Zeng Rou beside him. The little girl was trembling with nervousness, and her two little hands were tightly grasping the corners of her clothes.

Even her big eyes were red, and it was obvious that she was about to cry.

She never imagined that her father would be willing to come and take her away.

Ning Yi snorted coldly: "Mr. Zeng, you once sold your daughter."

"If it weren't for this prince, she wouldn't even have a chance to survive in Wangyue Tower. Now that she's able to get out, it's already a fluke. Do you still want to take her away and sell her again?"

Ning Yi did not have a good impression of Zeng Zhizhong. A father who sold his daughter to human traffickers was not worthy of sympathy, even if his circumstances were excusable.

Zeng Zhizhong's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head bitterly: "Your Highness's teaching is correct. Zeng is indeed a very incompetent father."

"It also caused Rou'er to fall into prostitution. If it weren't for Your Highness rescuing her from the devil's lair, my father and I would never have met again."
