章節 181: They Are Nothing

Two days later, the guards returned and reported the situation in the capital to Old Master Wang, who immediately became furious.

"What a disgrace! Allowing his son to engage in such business! This is utterly unethical. The Wang family has a tradition: we don't engage in the flesh trade or involve ourselves in ruinous gambling. The main branch is making money from running a brothel, yet he dares to ask me for help."

"You're angry, but will you help or not?"

"No. He's close to my second brother; let my second brother help him. Our family has faced a disaster this year, and we donated all our money to the commoners. We don't have any silver left."

Old Mistress Wang was pleased. She watched as Old Master Wang wrote a reply but didn't include any silver notes and finally felt relieved.

After writing the letter, Old Master Wang still wasn't at ease. He wrote another letter to Ru'er.

He asked her not to lend any money to the main branch.
