Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

"She is the legitimate eldest Miss of General's Mansion and also the madam of the War Prince's Mansion," the maid stated, then turned and left.

It was like a thunderous bolt from the blue, and the words completely stunned the thug. It wasn't until the maid's figure had completely disappeared that he came to his senses.

His heart trembled. Knowing such a big secret, would it bring him mortal danger?

When Xuexue emerged from inside, the thug who usually liked to greet her hid behind everyone, hung his head, and shrank there like a turtle.

Only after Xuexue and her servant walked far away did he slip out of the crowd, simultaneously letting out a long sigh of relief.

His companions found it very strange.

"Hey, Chen Qi, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, no, nothing." Chen Qi shook his head repeatedly. Knowing this secret was enough for him; he couldn't endanger his brothers.

"You look strange today. Are you sick?"

"No."

"Don't say no. You've been like this since you returned from the bathroom. If you're not feeling well, hurry back and rest a bit."

"No, if I rest, I'll have my wages deducted. My family is poor, waiting for the silver to buy food!"

"Don't worry, one or two shichen won't deduct your wages. Go on, go home and have a proper rest."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Chen Qi was overjoyed, as the person talking to him was the leader of the thugs, who indeed had the authority not to deduct his wages. After thanking him profusely, Chen Qi returned home, lost in thought.

"How did this guy suddenly become like this? What's going on?"

The thugs standing at the entrance of the Qinger Building discussed endlessly but couldn't come up with a reason, eventually having to let it go.

Prince's Mansion.

When Xuexue and Zi Xia returned to the War Prince's Mansion, they unexpectedly found that Situ Dieer, who had said she would stay for a few days, had actually packed her bags and left without saying goodbye.

When they asked others when she left, everyone said they didn't know.

Xuexue never liked her anyway.

Situ Dieer was like a viper; having her around for too long was very dangerous. It was better that she left, saving the constant need to guard against her.

General's Mansion, Peacock Court.

Situ Dieer, weary from her rush back from the War Prince's Mansion, hurried over to find Situ Qinger without stopping.

Situ Qinger, whose days had been quite comfortable as she managed the General's Mansion, seemed to have reverted to the time before Xuexue returned to the Capital, when she was still the legitimate eldest Miss.

Xuexue, that little cheap person, was her stumbling block. As long as she wasn't there, her days immediately became better.

Situ Dieer hurriedly walked in from outside, shouting as she walked, "Second Sister, Second Sister, something bad has happened!"

The increasingly smug Situ Qinger was somewhat annoyed by the interruption. When she looked up and saw it was Situ Dieer, she was a bit surprised: "Third Sister, didn't you say you were going to stay at the War Prince's Mansion for a few days to gather information? Why are you back so soon?"

"I went to gather information, and since I've found out what I needed, I naturally came back."

There was just a cup of tea on the table; Situ Dieer unceremoniously picked it up and drank it.

In fact, she had been with Situtu Xueer all morning, having no time to eat or drink anything. Moreover, after uncovering such shocking news, she was even less inclined, eager to return and report the matter to Situ Qinger.

"What news?"

"Second Sister, guess what shocking news I discovered today?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Qinger rolled her eyes: "If I knew, I wouldn't have troubled you to gather information at the War Prince's Mansion. Whatever it is, say it quickly, don't keep your second sister in suspense."
