Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2084: The Fourth Prince’s Change

The matter of the Fourth Prince practicing dark arts is no small thing. If he confirms that the woman last night was Xuexue, the Fourth Prince will definitely kill to silence, and Xuexue will be in grave danger.

Thinking back to the Fourth Prince she saw last night, completely different from today’s, Xuexue was shocked immensely.

Long Rui looked thoughtfully at Xuexue, saying, "Dear!"

Xuexue raised her head, "Hmm?"

"How did I speak to you yesterday? Do you still remember?"

"I remember."

"Tell me about it."

"The Prince forbade me from being alone with the Fourth Prince." When she spoke the word "alone," Xuexue deliberately emphasized her tone.

However, it seems this tactic doesn’t work, as Long Rui selectively forgot, "Then why were you alone with the Fourth Prince today?"

Xuexue firmly denied, "No, I wasn’t!"

"Oh my, my wife has improved her skills in dodging accountability."

"Prince, I really wasn’t!"

"So many people saw you lying, dear, how many things have you lied about to your husband? Didn’t you have a meal with the Fourth Prince a few days ago?" Long Rui looked like he was settling scores after autumn.

In her past life, Long Rui knew nothing about the grievances between her and the Fourth Prince, so naturally, he didn’t understand why Xuexue fought with the Fourth Prince and yet would dine with him.

Xuexue: "He... he insisted on inviting me, I couldn’t refuse his hospitality."

Long Rui felt a little hopeless, "Dear, aren’t you foolish?"

"I’m not foolish, I’m quite clever."

"If you’re not foolish, then surely you must have left your brains at home when you went out."

"Prince, why are you insulting me?" Xuexue pouted, looking unhappy.

"Dear, your husband is teaching you to be smart, you need to learn modestly."

"I don’t need you to teach, I’m really smart."

"If you’re really smart, why make such low-level mistakes?"

"What mistake?"

"Think about it, last time you almost slit the Fourth Prince’s throat, he almost died, he must really hate you. He invited you to eat, you dared to go, weren’t you afraid he’d poison the food?"

Xuexue: "I’m not foolish, I tried secretly to make sure there’s no poison before eating, and Lin Kong was there too!"

"Aren’t you foolish?"

"Why’d you insult me again?"

"That’s how it is, if he plans to harm you, he could take the antidote beforehand, and you wouldn’t notice."

Alright, she really hadn’t thought of this, but, having suffered losses in her past life, she wasn’t stupid; when with the Fourth Prince, she would try to eat as little as possible—better not eat, simply as a placeholder.

Long Rui’s eyes sparkled, he said, "Dear, tonight you need to receive punishment."

"Shameless!"

Xuexue blushed, turned, and walked away.

Long Rui, however, was in high spirits, sitting leisurely and drinking tea, his wife’s coyness was truly adorable.

The matter of the Fourth Prince practicing dark arts must be resolved quickly; otherwise, more civilians will die, which is no good for them either. If the Fourth Prince grows strong, he will certainly deal with them. Long Rui wasn’t foolish, he’d already thought of this, so he must seize the chance before the Fourth Prince’s wings are fully fledged and eliminate the threat in the cradle, forever removing future troubles.

Thinking of this, Long Rui called, "Long Yi."

Long Yi stepped forward, "Master."

"From today onwards, send people to secretly monitor the Fourth Prince."

"Yes, Master."

"Monitor him day and night in rotation, leave no room for carelessness."

"Yes."

"Most importantly, don’t let him notice, to avoid alerting the snake."

Long Yi still didn’t know about the Fourth Prince’s changes, thought the Prince was making a fuss over nothing.
