Chapter 2404: Chapter 2404: Arrogant and Overbearing
Long Rui became an orphan overnight.
Gu Lingqiao’s father immediately went back on his word and no longer mentioned the child marriage.
The once happy family of three was suddenly reduced to just Long Rui. At the time, Long Rui was only eleven, too young to manage the shop, and his family’s business quickly declined.
It wasn’t until later that Long Rui discovered that Gu Lingqiao’s father took advantage of his youth and used schemes to take over the shop.
With his parents deceased, eleven-year-old Long Rui was in despair and didn’t argue with the Gu Family. At that time, he didn’t have the strength to reclaim the business, so he chose to leave the north and wandered in the Itinerant World. Later, he met an old man who saw that Long Rui had a remarkable bone structure suited for martial arts, so he took him back and accepted him as his last disciple.
From then on, Long Rui finally had a stable home, training in martial arts with his Master every day. After several years, he mastered unparalleled martial arts skills.
When he descended the mountain, it so happened that other countries were attacking Moli Country. As soon as the enemy entered Moli Country, they began wantonly killing innocents, causing the people to be terrified. Would such a misfortune one day befall him too?
The Emperor posted notices recruiting talented individuals and even set up a martial arts contest in the Capital, seeking an all-rounded expert to lead the troops to battle.
Long Rui went up on the martial arts platform and ended up winning first place, naturally assuming command and leading troops to the front lines. Due to his superior martial arts skills and astute use of military strategy, the enemies were repeatedly defeated, and within a few months, he had driven the invaders out of Moli Country’s borders.
The displaced citizens finally returned to their homes and naturally felt immense gratitude towards Long Rui.
The throne was secured, and the Emperor was delighted, so he made an exception and conferred the title of Prince with a Different Surname, or War Prince, to Long Rui, meaning that as long as Long Rui led an expedition, he would be undefeated and invincible.
From then on, Long Rui rose step by step in the officialdom, achieving his current status.
By the time the Emperor realized it, Long Rui’s power was already so substantial that it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven for the Emperor to eliminate him.
The next day.
Xuexue was still in a daze of sleep when she heard chaotic shouting from outside, and the voice of a woman faintly came in...
"I advise you dogs of servants to recognize your master clearly. Don’t cry when you’ve chosen the wrong master." This voice was extremely arrogant and overbearing.
"Where did this riffraff come from, get them out of here." It was the voice of Zi Xia.
"Oh my, dare say this young lady is riffraff, believe it or not, I’ll call Brother Rui to have you all kicked out of the manor." The woman’s voice was fearless and unrestrained.
Hearing this, Xuexue frowned; could this woman be Long Rui’s childhood sweetheart, such poor character.
"Zi Xia, Zi Xia." Xuexue shouted loudly from the bed.
Outside, Zi Xia gave Gu Lingqiao a hard glare; this annoying stinky woman had woken the young miss so early.
"Ey! Coming!" Zi Xia turned and ran into the room.
Gu Lingqiao, with an expression full of disdain, said, "A country maid really thinks she’s the young miss, daring to sit on the Princess Consort’s throne, such nerve."
The maids in the courtyard all glared at her angrily.
Gu Lingqiao was extremely arrogant, completely different from her coy demeanor in front of Long Rui last night: "What are you looking at? You fools, believe it or not, I’ll call the Prince to sell you all to the brothel."
