Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

"Let's not stray from the point. I'm asking if you encountered anyone special, stopped along the way, or if the food basket left your hand."

Upon hearing this, the servant boy clearly hesitated for a moment but quickly returned to normal.

This anomaly did not escape Long Yi's eyes.

"Poisoning and murder are extremely vile acts. The Prince is very furious, and we must handle this matter seriously. I advise everyone not to harbor anyone. In the end, causing trouble for oneself is not worth it."

The servant boy's face grew increasingly pale, internally struggling whether to reveal this matter.

Granny Zhao, seeing the situation, began to encourage everyone, "Guard Long is right. If you know anything, quickly speak up. Don't implicate everyone. When that time comes, sitting in jail is a small matter, but the Prince's fury might cost your life."

The servant boy is a house-born servant; his ancestors were servants of the Prince's Mansion, and he was born a servant, called a house-born servant.

His family instructed him from an early age that as a servant, he must be cautious in speech and conduct, speak less, and do more. Therefore, he has always been extremely careful and cautious.

At his age, most men are already married with children, but as his family has been in servitude for generations, most women steer clear.

Indeed, without even considering wealth, the mere status of generational servitude is daunting, representing that children born will also be servants, so most young women are unwilling to marry such men.

The servant boy was frantic. Two days ago, a maid close to the Princess Consort suddenly showed favor to him; he was naturally overjoyed, believing he'd finally encountered romance. Gradually, they indulged in intimacy, reaching a stage of passion.

Tonight, on his way to deliver food to the west wing room, he encountered Xiao Cui. Initially, he planned to deliver the food first and then spend cherished moments with her. Unexpectedly, Xiao Cui insisted on taking him to a room, where they engaged in a fiery affair.

After the act, he dressed and proceeded to deliver the food to the west wing room.

Reflecting on the matter, it was only then that something happened; however, without being married and having an affair with someone, he felt too ashamed to speak about it.

Watching the servant boy hesitate and stutter.

Long Yi knew there was definitely more unsaid, but he was in no hurry.

Long Yi addressed the kitchen maids and old servants, "Alright, everyone is tired today, let's stop here. You may all go back."

"Really?" The servants raised their heads incredulously; the culprit hadn't been found, yet they were being sent back.

"Of course, I keep my word," said the guard.

Granny Zhao was pleased upon hearing this, turned, and shouted to her subordinates, "Are you all stunned? Guard Long is letting you go, so hurry up."

"That's right, that's right."

Sensing the moment, everyone rushed off like a swarm.

Burdened with thoughts, the servant boy walked away, turning back every few steps.

Long Yi gestured to a nearby guard, "Come over here."

"Yes." The guard walked over.

Long Yi whispered a few words to him, and the guard nodded repeatedly before quickly turning and walking out.

Later that night, feeling uneasy, the servant boy sought Xiao Cui to confront her, wanting to ask her whether she had poisoned Madam Situ's food. It was a matter of life and death and couldn't be treated lightly.

The servant boy sneakily knocked on Xiao Cui's door. After a long while, Xiao Cui, with disheveled hair, yawned and opened the door.

"Why is it you again?"
