Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

"Hehe...! Prince, look at this...!" Madam Wang smiled triumphantly at the Prince.

Long Rui ignored her, turned his head, and asked Long Yi beside him, "Why hasn't Madam Situ arrived yet?"

"Please wait a moment, Prince. A servant just reported that Madam Situ will be here shortly."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's face changed. What is that little cheap person coming here for?

Damn Xiao Cui, she still hasn't killed that little cheap person. This morning, she dared not to serve her to get up. Wait until she goes back and see how to deal with her, Madam Wang thought viciously.

Before she finished speaking.

Several figures appeared at the doorway.

It was Xuexue coming over with a few maids.

"Prince, greetings from me." According to the house rules, Xuexue gave her respects to Long Rui.

"Cough, cough, cough...!" Madam Wang, seeing that Xuexue did not pay respects to her, felt embarrassed and coughed forcefully, trying to remind her to be sensible; after all, she was the imperial-bestowed Princess Consort.

Paying respect to someone who wanted to poison her, Xuexue indicated she could not do it. Therefore, Xuexue ignored Madam Wang's hint, stood by quietly with her eyes looking at her nose, and her nose at her mouth, standing straight and properly, without a single flaw for anyone to pick.

Madam Wang felt extremely discontented: "Prince, look, Little Sister Situ blatantly doesn't pay respects to me, the Princess Consort, in front of you. It's too much!"

She said this while pouting and looking very displeased.

The Prince still ignored her and merely turned his head to instruct Long Yi beside him, "Give Madam Situ a seat."

"Yes."

Long Yi jogged over to one side to fetch a chair.

No kidding, others might not know the relationship between Madam Situ and the Prince, but as his personal bodyguard, he was fully aware. The Princess Consort was nothing; in the Master's heart, Madam Situ was the true Master!

In no time, Long Yi, sycophantically, brought over a chair and placed it next to Xuexue: "Please have a seat, Madam Situ."

Others expressed incredulity.

Normally, Guard Long was very arrogant, with an attitude just like the Prince's. Why was he so attentive to Madam Situ?

Long Yi felt secretly pleased, thinking to himself, better not to offend Madam Situ. He wasn't as foolish as those people, who couldn't even see they were digging their own graves.

Very soon, everyone quieted down, and the utensils on the side were cleared away by the maids.

Everything was put in order.

Long Rui nodded at Long Yi.

Long Yi got the hint and immediately ordered the subordinates to bring those two people up; the Prince wanted to interrogate them personally.

Everyone looked baffled, not knowing what was happening.

Madam Wang felt something was amiss. Yes, it was only now that she realized that Xiao Cui had never vanished; she didn't see her last night. Could it be...?

Thinking of this, her face turned darker and darker.

Secretly, she prayed, hoping nothing had happened to Xiao Cui, that she was just caught up in something urgent and couldn't come back for the time being.

Before her silent prayers were over, several figures appeared at the doorway, among which was a petite figure, very familiar, just too disheveled, looking very different from usual. She could hardly believe it.

When they gradually walked into the hall, Madam Wang was shocked to discover that the petite figure was indeed Xiao Cui.

"You wretched girl, where have you been?" Madam Wang couldn't help scolding.

Xiao Cui, with her hair disheveled and covered in blood, had her clothes torn in many places. Anyone with eyes could see that she had just undergone severe torture.

At this moment, Xiao Cui felt very dejected, because last night, unable to withstand the torture, she had given up the Princess Consort. When she finds out later, who knows how furious she will become.
