Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Speaking of Old Master Gu, Zi Xia started worrying again. Her hands were moving nimbly as she helped Xuexue arrange her hairbun, while she asked, "Young Miss, we offended Old Master Gu last time—will he hold a grudge?"

Back in the Imperial Palace, Old Master Gu had stormed off in a fury, looking utterly unwilling to let it go. This matter probably wasn’t over yet.

Xuexue nodded. "He probably will."

"Won’t it be really dangerous when you go out from now on?"

"What can I do? I can’t just stop going out because I’m scared."

"And that Aunt Yu too—her own conduct is lousy, she started by verbally attacking people, and you only gave her a bit of a lesson, yet she went running off to complain like you were the evildoer. One look at that kind of woman and you can tell she’s a vixen spirit."

At the end, Zi Xia leaned in toward Xuexue mysteriously. "Young Miss, have you heard?"

Xuexue was baffled by the question. She lifted her head to look at Zi Xia. "Heard what?"

Zi Xia: "I heard Old Master Gu’s Eldest madam doesn’t get along with the Thirtieth Aunt."

In big households, it’s almost always the same: the concubines don’t get along with the proper madam. Nothing strange about it.

"It’s perfectly normal for the proper madam and the concubines not to get along. What’s so strange about that?"

"It’s not strange for other people. It’s strange for you, Young Miss." Zi Xia suddenly said in a mocking, half-joking tone.

"What’s with you now?"

"It’s the truth. The Prince spent the night with that vixen spirit yesterday, and you don’t care in the least."

How did circling around and around end up back at this topic again?

Xuexue felt helpless. "Zi Xia, I’m hungry."

"Young Miss, you really...!"

Whenever there’s something she doesn’t want to talk about, the Young Miss will deliberately change the subject. Zi Xia had no way to deal with her. Plus, she was worried the Young Miss might actually starve, so she had no choice but to stop nagging, turn around, and run to the kitchen to fetch breakfast for her.

"Master, Master, that big scoundrel cheated on you, and you’re still this calm!" Xiao Jiu, squatting up on the beam, had heard every word of Xuexue and Zi Xia’s conversation loud and clear.

"Get lost. If you don’t understand, don’t spout nonsense."

"Fine, fine, I’ll get lost. Just don’t come crying to me later." Xiao Jiu shut its eyes.

Zi Xia quickly came back carrying breakfast. Once Xuexue finished eating, she got ready to go out.

"Master, Master." Xiao Jiu flew down to perch on Xuexue’s shoulder.

"What now?"

"I want to go into the space and play with Little Tiger. No one will play with me outside, I’m bored to death."

"Then go!"

"You still have to send me in!" Xiao Jiu sounded very aggrieved. Without her permission, how could anyone just go in and out of her space as they pleased?

Xuexue reached out, grabbed it, and tossed it straight into the space.

"Flap flap flap!"

"Help, help!"

With absolutely no warning, Xuexue grabbed it and threw it in. Xiao Jiu felt the world spin, and couldn’t help crying out.

"Argh...! Which little brat with no sense of self-preservation dares crash into your grandpa?" Right after that, a stream of curses rang out from inside the space.

Outside, Xuexue suddenly felt guilty. Damn it, she’d forgotten about Little Tiger again. Who knew what she’d managed to injure this time.

Just then, Zi Xia came in from outside. "Young Miss, the carriage is ready."

Xuexue: "Mm."

At that moment, the steward walked in and said, "Princess Consort, the Prince invites you to take breakfast with him."

Xuexue: "No. I’ve already eaten."

With that, she strode out.

The steward froze on the spot, and turned to Zi Xia. "What’s wrong with the Princess Consort?"

Zi Xia spread her hands and said unhappily, "You’d better go ask the Prince!"

Zi Xia called loudly at Xuexue’s retreating back, "Young Miss, wait for your maid!"
