Situ Dieer thought that with the support of the Third Prince, sooner or later, she would topple Situtu Xueer and avenge her mother and second sister.

As soon as Situ Dieer left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they could have some peace and quiet. To their surprise, a ruckus sounded outside again...

"Brother Rui, Brother Rui, Lingling is here!"

Xuexue put down the chess piece in her hand and said, "Prince, your childhood sweetheart is here!"

Finally, she said in a tone dripping with sarcasm, "Prince, you’re really blessed, so many beauties keep coming to you."

Long Rui raised his arm and lightly brushed her neck, laughing, "Oh wow, such a strong smell of vinegar, my dear, how many pounds of jealousy did you eat today? Oh, you’re almost making me topple over from it."

Afterwards, he exaggeratedly raised his arm and fanned his nose.

"Prince, you’re really annoying, always making fun of me." Usually independent, Xuexue now spoke with a hint of shyness, which even she hadn’t noticed.

"Brother Rui, Brother Rui." At this point, Gu Lingqiao rushed in with maids and old maids.

"Cough cough cough...!" The plan to tease his wife was interrupted, and Long Rui expressed his displeasure.

He glared fiercely at Gu Lingqiao, his voice as cold as a Thousand Years cold pond, and said, "Miss Gu, what’s the matter?"

Gu Lingqiao seemed not to notice Long Rui’s cold expression and continued excitedly, "Lingling made a pastry in the kitchen, it’s very delicious, specially brought it for Brother Rui to taste."

After finishing, she placed the tray in her hand in front of Long Rui like offering treasure, blinking her big eyes and said to Long Rui, "Brother Rui, try it while it’s hot."

The last time he drank a few sips of tea, he was caught and almost sent to Mo Weiguo.

Long Rui didn’t want to be caught a second time, so he said coldly, "No need, I just ate with my dear."

Not eating? If he doesn’t eat, how can I carry out my plan?

Gu Lingqiao blinked her big eyes at Long Rui, saying, "Just a small bite, just a small bite to taste the flavor."

She looked at Long Rui with an exceedingly eager expression.

The more she acted like this, the more Long Rui suspected there was something odd about the pastry, and he was even more unwilling to eat it.

Long Rui stood up, straightened his clothes, and reached out to pull Xuexue with the intention to leave.

Gu Lingqiao exclaimed, "Brother Rui, tomorrow is my mother’s death anniversary."

Long Rui stopped in his tracks, turned to look at her.

Gu Lingqiao continued, "Brother Rui, can you accompany Lingling to the temple to burn incense for my mother and pray tomorrow?"

Xuexue originally thought Long Rui would refuse, but unexpectedly, Long Rui nodded, her face immediately fell. Wasn’t Long Rui saying that Gu Lingqiao is a fake? Why is he so concerned, even accompanying her for incense?

Although she’d been married to the Prince’s Mansion for a while, Xuexue had never experienced such special treatment, and immediately her face showed displeasure. However, Long Rui seemed not to notice and continued talking with Gu Lingqiao.

"Brother Rui, you are so kind, if my mother had any awareness in heaven, she would be very comforted." Gu Lingqiao looked proudly at Xuexue as she raised her chin in a demonstration, her demeanor arrogant.

Xuexue sat on the side, sulking, finally unable to bear it, turned around and left with Zi Xia.

Zi Xia asked, "Miss, where are we going?"

Xuexue replied, "Wandering to the Ends of the Earth, not staying in this wretched Prince’s Mansion."

Zi Xia called out, "Miss, Miss, wait for me, maid!"

"Tweet tweet tweet... and Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Jiu, wait for me, wait for me." Flapping, Xiao Jiu flew down from the beam, and when passing by Long Rui, it called out unexpectedly, "Big scoundrel, womanizer, no taste at all, doesn’t want such a great beauty like Master, but prefers an ugly monster."
