Rong Ling's words made Rong Haotian's face darken again and again, but Rong Ling didn't stop and continued to speak: "Brother, these are one hundred and eighteen lives. If you don't compensate the families of the deceased, when this matter spreads, do you think people in the world will believe that Brother regards human lives as dirt, will they think Brother is brutal and unjust? Will they still trust Brother in the future when talking about him?"
Rong Ling's words served as a good reminder to Prince Su, Rong Haotian, that if the matter of him treating human lives as dirt spreads, even if he eventually takes the throne, the people would despise him as such an Emperor, and someone might even use the opportunity to rebel, bringing disaster to the Rong Family's kingdom.
Rong Haotian understood this reasoning and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "I will compensate them, let's do as you say."
