Chapter 2396: Chapter 2396: Veins Bulging in Rage
"After a few months, it seems Big Sister’s life is getting better and better." Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in her ears.
Xuexue looked up and saw Situ Dieer watching her with a smile on her face.
"Is it you?"
"Seeing Big Sister’s expression, you must have forgotten Dieer. Dieer is very sad." As she spoke, she picked up the small handkerchief in her hand and dabbed the corner of her eye.
Sad, my foot, not a single tear. Xuexue rolled her eyes internally, while secretly astonished—weren’t Situ Dieer and her siblings banished to the manor? How could she be involved with the Third Prince?
"How did you end up with the Third Prince?"
"The Third Prince is a good person, he pitied my bleak situation, so he brought me back from the manor. In a couple of days, the Third Prince even said he’d send me back to the General’s Mansion." Saying this, Situ Dieer affectionately linked arms with the Third Prince.
Back to the General’s Mansion? Is she kidding? Could it be that Situ Dieer thinks that with the Third Prince backing her, she can do as she pleases? She must be dreaming! Situtu Xueer’s eyes narrowed, and she said, "Third Sister, don’t you know that noble families care most about lineage? If the bloodline isn’t pure, I’m afraid father won’t agree to your request."
Situ Dieer wasn’t angry, continuing to gaze at the Third Prince with a beaming smile as she said sweetly: "Third Prince, this is my elder sister, she’s extraordinary now, becoming the Princess Consort of War Prince. We siblings used to live under her shadow in the mansion."
"You’re the Princess Consort of War Prince?" The Third Prince’s eyes widened as he asked with a harsh tone.
Xuexue glanced at him, wondering if this Third Prince bore ill intentions. Had she done something to offend him? It seemed like today was their first meeting!
So, she furrowed her brow: "Yes, what advice do you have, Third Prince?"
The Third Prince’s tone was filled with disdain, "I’ve heard that you’re a country girl who rose to power by stirring trouble in the General’s Mansion, causing Dieer’s mother and sister to die, and sowing discord in front of the General, getting their siblings expelled from the General’s Mansion, making their life miserable. If it weren’t for me, Dieer would have starved to death. Your village heart is indeed malicious."
As the Third Prince finished speaking, everyone present gasped, thinking, is the Third Prince courting death? How dare he insult the Princess Consort in front of the Prince?
"Swoosh...!"
As everyone was contemplating.
A strong gust shot straight at the Third Prince...
The Third Prince reacted quickly, tilting his head, as a chopstick brushed past his ear...
"Thud...!"
"Ah...!"
A miserable cry came from behind the Third Prince.
Turning their heads, everyone saw that a servant behind the Third Prince was struck in the heart by a chopstick and fell dead on the spot.
The Third Prince’s face changed, glaring viciously at Long Rui, he asked, "Who are you to dare disrespect the Imperial Family? Killing my subordinate, are you tired of living?"
Long Rui coldly responded, "Who I am is not something you can question."
The Third Prince, infuriated, his veins bulging, raised his hand, about to strike at Long Rui: "You...!"
Although he was a Third Prince, since he did not grow up in the Imperial Palace, he picked up the Itinerant World’s habits, and wanted to resort to force at the slightest disagreement.
Having finally found a backer, Situ Dieer didn’t want the Third Prince to suffer a setback here with Long Rui; there would be plenty of opportunities to take revenge on Situtu Xueer later.
Situ Dieer hurriedly pulled at him, saying, "Third Prince, he is the War Prince."
"War Prince?"
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince finally gave Long Rui a proper look, seeing this man standing at eight feet tall, with a slender build, a menacing mask on his face. An aura of killing intent seemed to linger around him.
