Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2082: Jade Pendant

The Fourth Prince nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Miss Situ, you should just accept it. It’s not worth much."

To be honest, how much is this Jade Pendant worth? Even the Fourth Prince didn’t know, because it was given to him by the Empress Mother. She didn’t say, and he didn’t ask, so naturally, he didn’t know.

Xuexue reluctantly accepted it, "Then I’ll be respectful rather than insistent."

A gleam of triumphant laughter flashed through Long Rui’s eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and no one noticed it. They were all focused on the clear green Jade Pendant in Situ Xueer’s hand. Such a beautiful Jade Pendant, yet the Prince called it a worthless trinket. Is it real or fake?

Long Rui picked up a teacup, took a sip, furrowed his brows, and said, "Dear, why did you take out the family heirloom of your husband?"

Xuexue put the Jade Pendant in her bosom. She knew this Jade Pendant was a treasure.

In a past life, this Jade Pendant was given by The Emperor to the Empress, who then gave it to the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince gave it to her to please her, only for her to later discover it was a key to the national treasury. He then asked for it back.

This lifetime, the key to the national treasury was in her hands. For the Fourth Prince to reclaim it would be like trying to climb to the heavens.

Long Rui asked a nonsensical question, leaving Xuexue bewildered, "Prince, what’s wrong?"

Long Rui glanced at the tea, "This is my treasure, why did you take it out?"

Xuexue laughed, "A noble guest is here, so I took it out to entertain them. Prince, don’t be so stingy."

Long Rui: "You spendthrift wife, one day you’ll squander all your husband’s wealth."

Xuexue laughed, "If drinking a cup of tea will bankrupt you, then is the Prince’s wealth too meager?"

Long Rui: "Dear, do you know how much these tea leaves cost per liang?"

Xuexue shook her head, saying, "I don’t know."

Long Rui: "These are the finest Great Dragon Robe tea leaves, worth more than gold, so I’d say these tea leaves are worth much more than your worthless Jade Pendant."

Upon hearing this, Xuexue nearly laughed out loud. Long Rui really knew how to spin a tale. To others, the Jade Pendant was priceless, yet he called it worthless, while his own possessions were praised to the skies.

The couple flirted as if there was no one else around, causing the Fourth Prince’s face to redden with embarrassment. Yet, he was reluctant to leave just like that, so he tentatively asked Xuexue: "Ahem...! Miss Situ."

Xuexue: "Yes?"

Fourth Prince: "Lately, it seems like you haven’t been out much?"

Xuexue smiled, "The Fourth Prince really has a forgetful memory. Didn’t we just meet on the street yesterday? The Fourth Prince even generously treated me to a meal. Why? Forgot so soon?"

The Fourth Prince gave an awkward smile, "Yes, yes, it seems my mind isn’t what it used to be."

Finally, he asked, "Is business at Qinger Building still going well? The business at night seems particularly good, with people coming and going."

Xuexue: "It’s alright."

Fourth Prince: "Does Miss Situ have a habit of inspecting the shop at night?"

Xuexue shook her head and said, "The Prince said there’s a killer Demon outside, so I should go out less. As a frail woman, I dare not go out at night." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Frail woman?

Does a frail woman wield a knife to slash a man’s throat? The first slash wasn’t enough. She slashed again with force, almost sending him to see Lord Yama. Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince involuntarily reached to touch the scar on his neck. This vile woman, daring to hurt him. Sooner or later, she would face consequences.

"Ha ha...indeed, Miss Situ is so stunning, she indeed needs to be more careful," the Fourth Prince smiled gracefully, appearing as an elegant gentleman.
