The head steward, Lao Ruying, struggled with his expression and said, "Yes, but this is also about our lives!"
His wife was frozen with fear, "Wh-what?!"
Lao Ruying said, "The world is changing drastically now, General Yue's army is surging, and our Prime Minister has been wise and decisive, having already sent hundreds of thousands of taels over early on. Even if he can't remain as Prime Minister under Prince Qin, he will still be immensely wealthy!"
"But what about us? What about us?"
Lao Ruying's face grew a bit sinister, "I've been working tirelessly like an ox for him since I was young, always serving the Prime Minister well, but now, during this time, he only takes care of his own matters and never considers us."
"When he leaves, he'll have wealth and glory, everything he wishes for."
"But what about us?"
"There's no guarantee we will survive."
"Wh-what? Husband, don't scare me!"
