Hongji heard Housekeeper Tang say that he wanted to buy their family's honey at ten times the market rate, but where was the honey?
His heart was a mix of joy and worry. Selling the honey would definitely affect his daughter.
Yet, he was also losing a good opportunity to make money. Who wouldn't want to earn money?
Especially since he was a person who had not saved even one cent, he needed money even more.
People often say that a gentleman obtains his wealth righteously, and though he was but a peasant and hardly a gentleman, he knew that this was not money he should earn.
Nor could he let anyone else know more about his younger daughter's secret, so he could only resort to lying.
