Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Rain Listening Courtyard.

Ever since Xuexue entered the War Prince's Mansion, she generally doesn't go out during the day to avoid attracting gossip. However, whenever the night comes and everything is quiet, she would stealthily put on nightwear and, under the cover of moonlight, leave the War Prince's Mansion to inspect the business outside.

Long Rui knows her actions very well, not only does he not stop her, but he also secretly dispatches people to quietly protect her.

This evening, it is the Shichen Chinese Time for dining.

Zi Xia carries in the food basket: "Miss, the servant has brought the meal, hurry and eat, you'll be going out again tonight."

The outside business cannot be ignored, Zi Xia also understands this reasoning, knowing Miss finds it inconvenient to go out during the day, she can only wait until the nighttime.

"Okay."

Sitting on the Noble Consort Chair, Xuexue puts down the book in her hand, gracefully moves to the side, washes her hands, and then walks towards the dining table.

Today's dishes are the same as usual, there is no difference, it is always four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetable dishes.

"Oh! There's my favorite Kung Pao Chicken, wonderful." Xuexue gets a bit excited seeing her favorite dish, reaches for her chopsticks, picks up a piece of chicken, and is about to bring it to her mouth…

"Meow Meow!"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a cat jumps out and snatches away the piece of meat on Xuexue's chopsticks.

"Oh my! Where did this stray cat come from!" Zi Xia finds a stick at the corner of the door and wants to chase it away.

The cat was evidently starving, as soon as it grabbed the meat, it hurriedly swallowed it.

Zi Xia has barely taken a few steps in pursuit when the cat ahead suddenly collapses to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably, gradually frothing at the mouth, and finally, after a frantic cry and a desperate struggle, it lies still on the ground, motionless.

Zi Xia, seeing this, is greatly shocked, quickly turns her head and cries out: "Miss, Miss, don't eat, the food is poisoned."

After just being robbed of a piece of meat by the cat, Xuexue puts down the chopsticks in her hand, preparing to get a clean pair to continue eating.

With Zi Xia chasing the cat, she sits alone at the table, ready to eat again, when she hears Zi Xia's anxious cry, turning her head with a bewildered look at her: "What are you saying? Shouting like this."

Zi Xia speaks too fast and urgently, she can barely hear clearly, and while she's talking, she sends the chopstick's food towards her mouth.

"Miss, don't eat." Zi Xia rushes towards Xuexue as she screams piercingly.

The chopsticks heading towards Xuexue's mouth pause again, she frowns slightly: "What on earth is wrong?"

"Poisoned."

Zi Xia reaches Xuexue, extends her hand, and knocks the chopsticks out of her hand.

"Poisoned?"

"Certainly, just now that cat was poisoned to death, Miss, check it out quickly."

Upon hearing this, Xuexue is shocked as well. Who in the War Prince's Mansion would have the audacity to blatantly poison her?

"Where's the cat!"

"Outside, it's too frightening for Miss, so I didn't bring it in."

"Send the cat's body directly to the Prince."

"That cat died quite terrifyingly, isn't that inappropriate?"

"The Prince has been through many battles, what hasn't he seen? Send it over."

"Yes." Zi Xia is about to turn around, then turns her head back, very angrily asks: "Miss, who is so malicious within the Prince's Mansion to dare poison Miss?"

Xuexue roughly suspects who it might be, but she can't be sure, so she shakes her head: "Without evidence, it's hard to say, let's leave this matter to the Prince to handle."

Following the Miss's decision, Zi Xia has no choice but to obey her order, carrying the cat's body in her hand to send it to the Prince.
