Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

The steward could never have dreamed that Gu Lingqiao, an unmarried young woman, would dare to disregard her reputation and frame him. In a moment of shock, a group rushed over from nowhere and pinned him down...

His hands were pinned behind his back by two servant boys, and he started yelling loudly: "Hey, hey, hey... Who are you people? Let go of me right now."

The Third Prince kicked him and said, "This prince should be asking who you are. How dare you harass a young lady in broad daylight? You’ve got some nerve; how can the War Prince’s Mansion be so unruly?"

Struggling, the steward said, "You shouldn’t meddle in the affairs of the War Prince’s Mansion."

The Third Prince turned to the frightened Gu Lingqiao and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

Gu Lingqiao seemed very scared, holding her chest with her hands and shaking her head while trembling all over, muttering: "Rogue, rogue, there’s a rogue."

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince was even more displeased with the steward: "Who exactly are you, and why are you harassing a young lady in broad daylight?"

Steward: "I am the steward of the War Prince’s Mansion; I advise you to let me go immediately."

The Third Prince was momentarily stunned, then sneered: "Oh? And perhaps you’re using your position for personal gain, teasing the young lady?"

The steward was furious at being framed by Gu Lingqiao and being pinned down without being able to move. He was infuriated: "Nonsense, you don’t know the truth, so don’t talk rubbish. I’m being framed by this lady."

"Framed?" The Third Prince glanced back at Gu Lingqiao.

Gu Lingqiao felt guilty and afraid of being seen through, so she cried even harder: "Waa waa waa...! Sir, you must testify for me. You saw what happened; he was the one who harassed me first."

"Alright, Miss, rest assured, this prince saw clearly and will stand up for you."

Gu Lingqiao suddenly lifted her head and asked, "Sir, are you a prince?"

Situ Dieer, who had been following the Third Prince, heard Gu Lingqiao’s question and stepped forward, saying: "Miss, if you have been wronged, just tell him. He is the Third Prince of the current dynasty."

Gu Lingqiao exclaimed exaggeratedly: "You are the Third Prince, that’s great!"

The Third Prince asked again: "Miss, what exactly happened?"

Gu Lingqiao’s eyes turned red, and she lowered her head, as if very troubled, stammering: "He... he... behaved indecently."

The steward was exasperated; this Miss Gu was unbelievable. For the sake of a few duck heads, she didn’t mind damaging her own reputation. Didn’t she realize that by ruining him, she’d also ruin herself?

The steward gritted his teeth: "Miss, I am already an old man, I beg you to let me go."

Remembering the many days of eating duck heads, Gu Lingqiao was also filled with rage. The Prince had begun to distance himself from her too, so she directed all her resentment at the steward.

To gain the sympathy of the Third Prince, Gu Lingqiao feigned weakness, crying pitifully: "How could you? Even the Third Prince saw you behaving indecently, and you still want to deny it?"

Since the young lady wasn’t afraid of ruining her reputation, what was there for him, an old man, to fear? The steward steeled his heart, nodded, and said: "Yes, Miss Gu is naturally beautiful. I am indeed infatuated with you, Miss Gu. Since things have escalated to this extent, I will certainly take responsibility. When the Prince returns, I will report to him and ask him to have the matchmaker propose marriage to Miss Gu. Miss Gu, rest assured, you won’t have your reputation tarnished, I will be responsible."

Hearing this, Gu Lingqiao’s eyes widened as she quickly looked him up and down in anger, forgetting her pretense, and began to curse: "You old rascal! You old fool, wanting to marry someone so much younger, dream on."
