Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2083: Fourth Prince

Long Rui said domineeringly: "Whoever dares to touch my woman is courting death."

For the military power held by General Situ, the Fourth Prince had always longed to win Xuexue over. Hearing this, a wave of hatred surged in his heart. He sacrificed an eye for this woman, and now, to restore his former status, he has even resorted to cultivating evil arts.

Once he consolidates his position in the court, he plans to eliminate Long Rui and Xuexue—these two are his greatest shame in this life.

Xuexue laughed charmingly and said, "Prince, don’t be so fierce, you might scare the Fourth Prince."

The Fourth Prince smiled good-naturedly, "It’s okay, the Prince is just being overly protective of his wife."

Then, his eyes flickered, and he added, "Recently, there have been more and more weirdos in the Capital. Just two days ago, I saw a person without hands and feet crawling down the street."

Long Rui said disdainfully, "Fourth Prince, you really have the leisure to pay attention even to the beggars on the street. I’m busy with national affairs every day and don’t have such idle time."

The Fourth Prince looked at Xuexue thoughtfully: "Miss Situ roams the streets every day; surely you’ve seen it?"

Xuexue realized the Fourth Prince was suspicious, wondering if she had gone to the fourth prince’s mansion last night.

"I actually haven’t seen it. If I saw such a pitiful beggar, I would surely give him some Silver," Xuexue said, her expression unchanged.

The Fourth Prince couldn’t discern if what Xuexue said was true or false: "Miss Situ truly has the heart of a Bodhisattva."

"You flatter me, Fourth Prince. Where is the beggar you mentioned? I’ll have Zi Xia bring him some food later," Xuexue asked with a smile.

The Fourth Prince was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Xuexue to play this trick. Suddenly, he was tongue-tied, unsure of how to answer: "Um... this... ."

Xuexue glanced at the Fourth Prince quizzically, "What is it? Was there no such person, and the Fourth Prince was joking with me?"

Even if there wasn’t such a person, the Fourth Prince wouldn’t admit it; moreover, the weirdo did exist, so he said, "No, no, no, this Prince found him pitiful and sent someone to escort him out of the city two days ago."

Xuexue shot a glance at Long Rui and added, "Since that beggar had no hands or feet, leaving the city is a dead end! Fourth Prince, didn’t you consider that?"

"Oh...this... ."

The Fourth Prince struggled to cope with Xuexue’s sharp tongue.

Xuexue continued, "Fourth Prince, what you’re doing isn’t saving people, it’s harming them."

Fourth Prince: "Why does Miss Situ say that?"

Xuexue: "Fourth Prince, leaving the beggar on the streets of the Capital, even if he has to scavenge for trash, he can at least find something to eat and won’t starve. But you took him to the remote wilderness, where there’s nothing but grass and leaves - no food or drink. Isn’t that a dead end?"

The Fourth Prince laughed, "Miss Situ, you overthink things. I merely sent him to a temple where he can be assured three meals a day."

Xuexue suddenly realized, "Oh! So that’s how it is. The Fourth Prince is truly commendable."

After exchanging a few pleasantries and probing out no valuable clues, the Fourth Prince had to take his leave.

The shadow of the Fourth Prince had just disappeared.

Xuexue’s smiling face fell.

"Prince, it seems the Fourth Prince suspects that I went to his mansion last night."

Long Rui nodded, "The Fourth Prince indeed suspects you, but he has no evidence. Meaning he hasn’t determined if that woman is you. So, my wife, stay calm, don’t be afraid, I’m here for you."
