Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Long Rui's gaze swept towards Xuexue, thinking that this woman was really petty. Since the Celestial Master's Mansion, after he said those words, she had ignored him until now. Last night, she even made him stay outside the window, blowing in the cold wind all night, and today he caught a cold.

Xuexue turned her face away, completely avoiding his gaze.

"Cough, cough...!"

As soon as the War Prince coughed, Madam Wang made a big fuss: "Prince, what's wrong? Have you caught a cold? Oh dear! You must take care of your health, you just recovered from your illness recently."

"It's nothing!"

"How can it be nothing? You are the pillar of the War Prince's Mansion. If something happens to you, what will we do?"

Madam Wang clung to the Prince.

Xuexue's face grew darker and darker.

The War Prince, having reprimanded Xuexue at the Celestial Master's Mansion, had already stood as punishment for an entire night.

Long Yi, the personal bodyguard, naturally understood this very well. Fearing that the misunderstanding between his master and Miss Situ would deepen, he immediately glanced at Madam Wang and spoke with veiled meaning, "Princess Consort, what are you saying? It's like you want the Prince to have an attack."

Then he feigned a look of sudden realization, "Oh! Wasn't it you who caused the Prince's last attack?"

The last time the Prince had an attack, everyone in the War Prince's Mansion attributed it to Madam Wang. Privately, tales were told in vivid detail.

"You...!"

Madam Wang was suddenly choked with words, wanting to retort, but since it was true, she turned her head and pouted at Long Rui, "Prince, last time, I didn't do it on purpose. Why does Guard Long keep bringing it up?"

In order to deceive the Emperor, Long Rui had to keep up the act, so he cleared his throat and said, "Cough, cough...! Long Yi, this matter is in the past. My beloved consort didn't do it on purpose, so let's not bring it up again in the future."

Long Yi glanced at the smug Madam Wang, "Yes."

In front of so many people, the Prince protected her, making Madam Wang feel pleased and smugly said, "Prince, Sister Xue is too outrageous. She actually indulged her maids to commit violence and look at the state of my servants! She doesn't respect me as the Princess Consort at all, so how can I command respect in the mansion in the future? Prince, help me teach her a lesson and show her who is the true master of the War Prince's Mansion."

With that, she pointed to the dozen maids and old maids nearby.

The dozen maids and old maids, like defeated roosters, stood to one side, heads drooping. Their hair was disheveled, faces covered in bruises, with green and purple marks everywhere. Their clothes were crooked or torn, clearly showing they had just been in a tough fight and were in a pitiful state.

This woman's ability to distort the truth was truly remarkable. It was obvious that she wanted to bully the small with the many, intending to have the servants beat her up and then catch her to lock her up. Who knew that plans could not keep up with changes? She turned the tables in front of the Prince, with such a talent for distortion.

Zixia got anxious upon hearing this, "Whoever did it should take the blame. It was I who injured these people, and it has nothing to do with my lady."

The War Prince glanced at the dozen maids and old maids and asked, "Are these people all injured by you?"

"Yes, Prince, it has nothing to do with my lady. It was all my doing, so if there is to be punishment, it should be me." Zixia had a look of determination as if ready to sacrifice herself.

In a past life, Zixia lost her life for her sake, and in this lifetime, Xuexue couldn't let her come to harm.

Xuexue: "Prince, I have something to say."

Upon hearing this, Long Rui felt a moment of delight, realizing that this little woman finally was willing to speak to him.
