Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1999

War Prince’s Mansion.

Long Yi carried a large box of silver notes back to the War Prince’s Mansion. As he walked into the front gate, he encountered Xuexue and Zi Xia coming over...

Long Yi stopped in his tracks, secretly glanced at Zi Xia behind him, and said to Xuexue, "Hello, Madam!"

Xuexue glanced at the heavy box and asked, "What’s inside?"

Long Yi: "Silver notes!"

Xuexue: "Silver notes? Why not take them to the Money House to store them, why bring them back to the mansion? And such a big box, aren’t you afraid of attracting thieves?"

"This is the War Prince’s Mansion; which foolish thieves dare to come and steal here? Besides, I just collected the silver notes and brought them back specifically for the Prince to inspect before storing them at the Money House."

Xuexue tilted her head to peek at the big box and asked, "Just collected them? Where did you collect so many silver notes?"

Long Yi: "From the Empress!"

"What? Cough, cough...!" Xuexue was choked by her saliva and coughed a few times.

Zi Xia quickly stepped forward, reached out to pat her back, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better, Miss?"

Xuexue waved her hand, catching her breath before saying, "It’s nothing, just accidentally choked a bit."

Upon hearing this, Zi Xia turned and glared at Long Yi: "What did you say that made Miss choke?"

Long Yi felt aggrieved and said, "I didn’t say anything!"

Xuexue caught her breath and asked, "What did you say, where were these silver notes collected from?"

Long Yi: "From the Empress."

Xuexue: "Does the Empress owe the Prince money?"

"Yes!"

"Since when? How come I never heard the Prince mention it?"

"For the demolition costs of the Prime Minister’s Mansion! Madam, didn’t you know?" Long Yi was a bit puzzled; he thought the Prince had mentioned it to Madam!

Xuexue was told about the demolition of the Prime Minister’s Mansion by Long Rui, but she really didn’t know about asking the Prime Minister for compensation. She found Long Rui’s actions both shocking and amusing; the War Prince is truly the War Prince, bold and audacious, demolishing someone’s mansion and still asking for money, unmatched by anyone, before or after.

Xuexue nodded and said, "Oh! So that’s how it is! Alright, go and report to the Prince."

Long Yi sneakily glanced at Zi Xia again before saying, "Yes."

Then, carrying the box, he walked away. After walking about ten meters, he turned his head to look back and saw Xuexue and Zi Xia standing there smiling at him. He couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and dared not look back anymore, carrying the box quickly, disappearing in a flash at the corner.

Thinking he had left, Xuexue and Zi Xia were about to turn and leave when Long Yi’s head popped out again from the corner, seeing them still watching him, and immediately disappeared again in a blur.

This made Xuexue and Zi Xia laugh uncontrollably.

Zi Xia laughed heartily, "Hahaha...! What a fool."

Xuexue also laughed, looked at Zi Xia, and said, "You’re so heartless, laughing when someone fancies you."

"Miss, didn’t you laugh too?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"He wasn’t interested in me, so it’s okay for me to laugh."

"Miss, you’re so mean, laughing at your maid." Zi Xia displayed her youthful demeanor, stomped her foot in protest.

Xuexue started walking forward, talking as she walked, "Alright, alright, I won’t laugh at you anymore; hurry and catch up. We still need to inspect the shop; it’s getting late, and it will be dark soon."

"Hey! Got it!" Zi Xia composed herself and quickly followed.
