Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

The Old Maid also couldn’t fathom why. In the end, it boiled down to the fact that although the War Prince is an excellent hand at leading troops into battle, he is completely clueless when it comes to domestic disputes among women. Hence, he didn’t realize Lingling’s injuries were intentional, not accidental.

"Enough, enough, that ugly brute is just missing a nerve, otherwise how could he not see such obvious injuries on me?"

Gu Lingqiao was fuming. As a peerless beauty herself, having to cozy up to an ugly brute was already a grievance. If it weren’t for the mission to aid her sweetheart, she wouldn’t have come to the Capital, having to face the War Prince, this ugly brute, every day, and even have to act coy around him. Just thinking about it disgusts her.

The Old Maid cautiously glanced around and said, "Shhh! Miss, don’t speak recklessly. Be wary of walls having ears."

Though Gu Lingqiao was still fuming, she wasn’t dumb. She immediately stopped the conversation. This trip to the Capital has a purpose, and her inner thoughts mustn’t be exposed.

After a while, Gu Lingqiao spoke with a furrowed brow, "The Princess Consort of War Prince, that woman, might be no simple character. So young, she has managed Yihong Brothel, and the business is getting increasingly prosperous. It’s probably not easy to topple her."

Before heading to the Capital, they had already investigated Xuexue’s background, fully aware of her past.

The Old Maid dismissed it, speaking with contempt, "No matter how formidable she is, she was just once a village girl from a Nong family. She toiled to fill her stomach three meals a day. But Miss is different. Born in luxury, beloved by Old Master and madam, how could a yokel like the Princess Consort of War Prince ever compare to Miss? According to this maid’s opinion, the Prince will surely love Miss more."

Lingling laughed with satisfaction, "I think so too."

Xuexue finally finished reviewing the account books, feeling sore and weary, she stood up and took a cup of tea, drinking a few sips, when she heard Xiao Jiu chirp, "Chirp chirp chirp, I’m so angry, so angry."

Xuexue looked up, amused, and said, "Xiao Jiu, what’s wrong again? Why won’t you calm down for a moment?"

Xiao Jiu: "Master, hearing you say that makes me sad. Xiao Jiu is this angry all because of you."

Xuexue was taken aback, asking, "Because of me?"

Xiao Jiu vigorously nodded, "Yes, yes."

Xuexue: "What’s the matter?"

Xiao Jiu angrily said, "It’s nothing but that vixen spirit."

Zixia secretly instructed it to pay more attention to that woman, after all, she is the master’s rival in love.

Although Zixia and Xiao Jiu often bicker, at crucial times, they always unite against outsiders.

Xuexue: "What’s up? Did you go spying again?"

"What do you mean spying? I did it openly," Xiao Jiu immediately flared up. It’s working so hard for whom? It’s nothing but for the master, and yet now the master accuses it of spying. That’s too hurtful.

Xuexue: "Alright, alright, I was wrong. Xiao Jiu wasn’t spying, and even if it was, it was an open and aboveboard act, right?"

Xiao Jiu proudly raised its bird head and said, "That’s more like it."

Xuexue: "What’s going on? If it’s nothing, I need to get on with some work."

Xiao Jiu tilted its bird head, glanced at her sideways, and said, "Master, you have a big heart. The big scoundrel is about to cheat, and you still have the mind to work!"

Xuexue: "Stop with the nonsense. Prince is not that kind of person."

Before she got to know Long Rui, Xuexue truly believed, as everyone else said, that he was a playboy Prince. Later one night, while night-stalking the War Prince’s Mansion with Little Tiger, she discovered it was all an illusion.
