Chapter 1386: Swooning Over a Hunk
At this moment, Celestial Master Zhang and the Fourth Prince walked in, looking at Situtu Qinger kneeling on the ground, quite surprised.
Celestial Master Zhang: "Madam, have you figured out the situation?"
The madam said nothing, just looked at Situtu Qinger kneeling on the ground, her expression showing great difficulty.
Seeing the Fourth Prince, Situtu Qinger rushed forward like a drowning person finding a floating log, hugged the Fourth Prince's leg tightly, and burst into tears: "Fourth Prince, save Qinger, Qinger has been wronged, the hairpin really isn't Qinger's."
The usually elegant and beautiful woman was now crying like a person in tears.
The Fourth Prince could not bear it; besides, Situtu Qinger's presence here today was largely due to him.
Ever since he learned that Xuexue was attending the Wife of the Celestial Master's gathering, the Fourth Prince wanted to fit in but feared that Situtu Xueer would publicly embarrass him. While hesitating, Situtu Qinger subtly hinted that she really wanted to attend the gathering but regretted her lowly status, which made it difficult for her to be included.
Upon hearing this, a light bulb went off in the Fourth Prince's head. Yes! The legitimate eldest Miss and Second Miss are sisters; having the Second Miss at the Celestial Master's Mansion to ease the tension between him and Xuexue should be possible.
Due to the Fourth Prince's guarantee, Situtu Qinger appeared at the Celestial Master's Mansion today.
Looking at the teary-eyed beauty in front of him, the Fourth Prince felt heartbroken: "Second Miss, don't be like this, the floor is cold, quickly get up."
"Fourth Prince, I didn't steal anything."
"No stealing, no stealing, quickly get up."
Seeing the beauty lose her dignity like this, everyone couldn't help but draw a black line mentally.
At this moment, Fat Girl, who was wandering outside, returned, seeing the situation, usually carefree, she got heated and shouted without thinking: "Fourth Prince, you can't be like this. Everyone just saw the hairpin being searched from the Second Miss, it can't be undone with just your words. Then, what is the national law for?"
This statement was truly provocative, and it touched the nerve of the Fourth Prince.
Indeed, the struggle for the throne was imminent, yet it was also a time where all princes were walking on thin ice. Although they were all eager to take that supreme position, on the surface, they were all cautious, not daring to overstep bounds for fear of displeasing The Emperor and losing the qualification for the throne.
Now, Fat Girl's words about the national law naturally hit the Fourth Prince's sore spot. His expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal, with a faint smile, he charmingly said: "This lady is right. I was not informed about the situation earlier. Hearing you say this, indeed, the Second Miss was wrong."
The Fourth Prince changed his stance so quickly that Situtu Qinger forgot to cry, staring at him blankly, questioning whether her ears were betraying her, thinking everything was just a dream. Once awakened, she would still be the lofty legitimate eldest Miss.
The Prince's smile was so wickedly charming that Fat Girl was mesmerized, almost drooling.
Her personal maid looked on with a black line mentally, constantly lamenting inside: "Miss, even if you adore the Fourth Prince, you should maintain your image. With your behavior, you're not going to scare him away, are you?"
"Miss, Miss." The maid couldn't bear it any longer, gently tugging her, hoping to rescue Miss's image.
"What's up!" The Prince she longed for day and night smiled at her mesmerizingly, Fat Girl felt intoxicated, somewhat resenting the maid's lack of tact, interrupting her eye contact with the handsome prince.
"Miss." The maid persisted.
"What's up! Get lost." Fat Girl became impatient, shouted back at the maid, then turned to smile stupidly at the Fourth Prince.
