Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Long Rui slammed the table fiercely, and a large dent appeared in the thick sandalwood, with five distinct fingerprints clearly embedded on the surface.

Long Yi quickly explained, "Prince, don't be angry. It's just that little maid babbling nonsense. It might not be Madam Situ's intention."

Unexpectedly, Long Rui seemed not to have heard anything he said. He simply shouted harshly, "Investigate! This matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end. Let's see who has the nerve to commit murder right under my nose."

It seemed the Prince was not blaming the maid for her babbling, and Long Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Yi felt deeply, "Indeed! Such vile behavior, daring to openly poison. If not for this cat, Madam Situ would surely have died from the poison."

"Strike while the iron is hot. Quickly go and investigate, don't give the murderer any time to prepare."

"Yes."

Long Yi was holding the dead cat and was about to leave the study.

"Long Yi."

The Prince's voice called out from behind again.

"Prince, is there anything else?" Long Yi turned around, looking at the Prince and asked.

"Cough, cough, cough...!" The War Prince, usually so decisive, suddenly became awkward: "Well... cough, cough...!"

The War Prince, usually cold-hearted and emotionless, suddenly seemed like a shy little wife.

Long Yi felt as if witnessing major news, his eyes wide with surprise: "Prince, what exactly is going on?"

"That cat...!"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Long Yi glanced at the dead cat in his hands.

"Find a good place and give it a proper burial."

"Huh?"

"What's wrong? Are you deaf? Can't you hear?" Long Rui was slightly annoyed and angry.

As the Prince got angry, Long Yi became fearful and repeatedly assured, "I understand, I understand, Prince. Rest assured, I will definitely find a place with beautiful mountains and water to give Hero Cat a decent burial."

"Go ahead."

Madam Situ's food problem most likely originated from the kitchen, and Long Rui naturally thought of this. He immediately took his men to the kitchen, searched it inside and out, and found no trace of anything.

Therefore, he gathered all the kitchen staff together.

There were probably about a dozen servants working in the kitchen, including maids, old maids, and servant boys.

Guard Long led this group of people over quickly, scaring them half to death, not knowing what had happened.

Among them, Granny Zhao, corpulent and broad-waisted, was the kitchen's steward. Seeing Guard Long bringing so many people and the kitchen searched into chaos, her brows furrowed. Eventually, she mustered the courage to step forward and ask, "Guard Long, what exactly happened?"

Long Yi said coldly, "Someone poisoned Madam Situ's food. Did you know?"

Granny Zhao was taken aback: "What? Poisoned in the food? Who would dare to do such a thing?"

Everyone shook their heads.

It's a life-threatening matter; who would dare admit it!

Long Rui circled around the crowd several times before speaking coldly, "Who delivered Madam Situ's food tonight?"

A servant boy, about twenty years old, trembled as he stepped forward, his foot went soft, and he knelt down on the ground saying, "It was me, but I absolutely did not poison it."

"Did you encounter anyone on the way?"

"Yes."

"Many; they were just some brothers and sisters from the estate, and they all greeted me." The servant boy showed a very timid appearance.
