"My dear wife, regarding Lingling’s matter, you really misunderstood me. Ever since I saw her a few days ago, I haven’t gone to her place," Long Rui immediately seized the opportunity to explain to Xuexue as soon as the person inside left the room.

Xuexue: "You two grew up together, it’s only natural for you to go there. Moreover, Miss Gu has been waiting for so many years; wouldn’t you be letting her down if you didn’t go?"

Long Rui: "I don’t care what she thinks; in any case, I only like you, my dear wife."

After saying this, Long Rui pitifully tugged at Xuexue’s sleeve and shook it: "Please, dear wife, you must believe your husband."

Xuexue: "You two are always ’Little Sister Ling’ this and ’Brother Rui’ that every day. How can I trust you? If you truly have no interest in her, you can send her away!"

Long Rui felt a bit awkward: "She’s just a young lady with no one to rely on in the Capital. Throwing her out would be somewhat heartless. Please, dear wife, give me a few more days, and I will find a way to arrange things properly for her. What do you think?"

Though uncomfortable at heart, Xuexue agreed.

Long Rui: "You’re so kind, dear wife!"

Xuexue: "Since you have no intention of marrying someone else, from now on, don’t be alone with Miss Gu anymore; it will cause misunderstandings."

"Got it!" After saying this, Long Rui wanted to give Xuexue a hug.

"Eh eh eh...! Can you two keep your sweet talk behind closed doors? The Master is still here, you know! It’s quite awkward watching," the Weirdo suddenly spoke from the roof beam at this moment, startling them. They almost forgot that the Weirdo was still in the room, such a remarkable presence indeed.

Xuexue blushed and said: "Senior, why don’t you come down!"

The Weirdo jumped down from the roof beam.

Xuexue: "Senior, visiting so late at night, what exactly has happened?"

Weirdo: "Right, I came to inform you that the Fourth Prince followed Lin Kong to Wei Country and won’t be returning anytime soon."

Upon hearing the news about the Fourth Prince, Long Rui furrowed his brows and said: "We already knew this news."

The Weirdo looked at him and asked: "Does the Prince know what identity Lin Kong holds in Wei Country?"

Xuexue: "We know too; he’s the State Preceptor of Wei Country. This time he came to Moli Country as an undercover agent."

Long Rui nodded: "Yes, Wei Country is ready to stir up trouble, it seems that there will be a fierce battle to fight very soon."

Even the State Preceptor has been deployed and has come to Moli Country as an undercover agent. Anyone who isn’t foolish can guess Sima Zhao’s intentions.

The Weirdo let out a disappointed wail and said: "What? You knew everything already, didn’t I waste a trip tonight?"

Xuexue laughed: "The Prince’s scouts are spread across the land, not to mention that after the Fourth Prince and Lin Kong went to Wei Country, they didn’t avoid suspicion but walked openly in the streets. With just a little inquiry, one can find out. It’s not secretive; senior, you don’t have to feel guilty."

Even Xuexue didn’t expect the Fourth Prince to be so bold as to walk openly in the streets without any concern that his trip to Wei Country would be known by The Emperor. Could it be that he really doesn’t plan to come back?

Xuexue couldn’t believe he wouldn’t return. After all, his heart is set on the position of Crown Prince. Would someone who values power this much abandon Moli Country? Xuexue wouldn’t believe it even if it killed her.

The Fourth Prince has great ambition; otherwise, he wouldn’t practice Evil Cultivation. Perhaps he just wants to hide in Wei Country, wait until everyone forgets about the demonic incident, and then return.

Weirdo: "The Fourth Prince is really gutsy. Knowing full well that Moli Country and Wei Country are mortal enemies, he actually went to seek refuge with them. Has his brain been damaged by practicing Evil Cultivation too much?"
