Zi Xia snickered with schadenfreude, unable to hold back a laugh, thinking to herself, with his missing limbs, he wants a woman? It’s as unlikely as a eunuch in the Imperial Palace wanting a descendant—pure wishful thinking.
Xuexue glared at her, "The trouble you caused, and you still dare to laugh?"
Zi Xia’s smile collapsed, and she immediately lowered her head, wondering why the Prince was so furious! He didn’t even bother to look before hitting someone, not afraid of injuring the young lady.
Earlier, Long Rui’s slap had destroyed much in the room, leaving fragments all over the floor.
Xuexue stood by, silently calculating the damages, planning to make Long Rui pay double.
Long Rui was also angry, saying coldly to the Weirdo, "Anyone who dares to touch my woman, regardless of their status, I will grind their bones to dust."
Each word was as cold as ice, as if the Weirdo uttered one more offending word, he would be executed on the spot.
The Weirdo, having witnessed Long Rui’s power, dared not provoke him further on this matter.
"You brat, your ears are too soft. I don’t know how you became a Prince. The Master has no interest in this foolish maidservant, it’s just this maid’s nonsense." After finishing, the Weirdo glared harshly at Zi Xia, remembering how Confucius once said, women and petty people are hard to manage.
This damned maid played him for a fool; if not for Xuexue’s sake, he might have wanted to smack her dead.
The situation had escalated, and Zi Xia didn’t dare to speak anymore, standing obediently beside Xuexue with her head down.
The Weirdo said to Xuexue, "Girl, your maid caused trouble, aren’t you going to say a word to clear the Master’s name? If the Master dies unjustly, I can’t run errands for you anymore."
Xuexue said, "Who dares to touch the senior? I’ll cripple them."
Then, she deliberately glanced at Long Rui.
The Weirdo was on the verge of tears, "It’s not about crippling them, Master is old, my reputation can’t be tainted like this. Girl, I’ve been good to you; you owe me a clean slate!"
He’d kept himself pure for decades, living alone in the Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests among wolves, just started coming out, and was falsely accused, ruining his reputation—it’s even more unjust than Dou E’s case.
Xuexue twisted Zi Xia’s ear, saying, "It’s all your fault, you lousy maid, for blabbering nonsense."
Zi Xia grimaced, "Ouch, young lady, gentle, gentle, it hurts."
This time, it was the Weirdo’s turn to gloat, "Serves you right, girl, a bit harder."
Xuexue: "Will you still talk nonsense in the future?"
Zi Xia: "I won’t, I won’t, never again!"
Xuexue: "Hurry and apologize to the Master!"
"Oh!"
Reluctantly, Zi Xia turned, spoke to the gloating Weirdo, "Senior, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to."
Then, she secretly added in her heart, but I did it on purpose.
Weirdo: "My reputation was nearly ruined by you. I’ll forgive you this time, but there better not be a next time."
Zi Xia responded obediently, "I won’t dare, Master."
Weirdo: "By the way, I’m hungry, hurry to the kitchen and fetch some good food for Master to atone for your sins."
What atonement? On deeper thought, he cursed me harshly, yet I didn’t lose much. However, in front of the Prince and Princess Consort, Zi Xia dared not speak carelessly. She looked at Xuexue, asking, "Young lady."
Xuexue: "Go on then, the senior hasn’t eaten yet, prepare some wine and dishes for him."
Zi Xia then went off to fulfill the order.
Long Yi promptly said to Long Rui, "Prince, it’s dark as night in the kitchen, shall I go and help?"
Long Yi’s intention, Long Rui had long seen through, waving his hand, "Go, go."
It would be best if everyone left, so he could spend quality time with his wife.
