Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2021: Master of Martial Arts

Xuexue, with just a few words, successfully persuaded the War Prince not to act rashly. Celestial Master Zhang was very pleased, thinking that in the future, forging ties with Madam Situ would definitely be advantageous. This woman’s influence is comparable to a whole army.

Indeed, the War Prince’s martial arts skills were unparalleled, and throughout Moli Country, there was no one who could subdue him. Yet, with just a few words, Xuexue could change his mind, showing how extraordinary Xuexue’s status was in Long Rui’s heart.

Xuexue glanced at Celestial Master Zhang, who was standing nearby in deep thought, and laughed, "What’s the matter? Does the Heavenly Master have anything else?"

"Oh! No, no, just taking my leave, taking my leave." Celestial Master Zhang snapped back to reality and hurriedly took his leave.

The carriage gradually moved away.

Long Rui’s voice carried a sense of grievance: "Wife, what you did today was not right."

"What was wrong with it? I thought I did quite well!"

"You’re treating outsiders better than this husband of yours—how is that doing well?"

Xuexue laughed: "So the Prince was jealous."

Long Rui said, "That’s right, I’m feeling uncomfortable. Wife, how do you plan to compensate me?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll give you a big gift later."

"Really, don’t trick me, okay!"

"Just wait, the big gift is coming soon."

At this moment, a carriage came speeding from the distance...

"Clippity-clop!"

In no time, the carriage stopped in front of them.

"Young Miss." Zi Xia jumped down from it.

Long Rui found it a bit strange; Zi Xia was always by Xuexue’s side, and she looked rather travel-worn—where had she been just now?

Long Rui asked, "Wife, where did Zi Xia go just now?"

"You’ll know in a moment." Xuexue replied, then turned to Zi Xia: "Hurry and bring the item down for the Prince to see."

"Yes."

Zi Xia gestured, and a guard brought a chest down from the carriage.

Long Rui looked at it bewildered and asked, "Wife, what did you buy?"

"Treasure, open it and see for yourself." Xuexue said with a smile.

With that said, Long Rui didn’t hesitate and stepped forward to open the lid of the chest, revealing glistening silver.

"Wife, where did you rob to get so much silver?"

"What are you talking about? I’m a law-abiding citizen; how could I possibly rob anyone?"

"If not, then where did so much silver come from?"

"Zi Xia, tell the Prince where this silver came from, so he doesn’t get suspicious and really think I went robbing, then send me to The Emperor to boast about it—it would be a disaster." Xuexue joked.

"Yes, Young Miss."

Zi Xia reported to Long Rui everything that had happened at the Celestial Master’s Mansion.

Long Rui listened, bewildered, realizing that his wife had used his name to extort the Celestial Master.

No wonder Xuexue was exceptionally cordial to Celestial Master Zhang today; he’d never seen her treat anyone so well. As it turns out, it was all part of her scheme!

"Wife, wasn’t your move too ruthless?"

"Why?"

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver is no small amount. This time, Celestial Master Zhang will really be distressed."

"Let him be!"

"Wife, you’re so calm—aren’t you afraid he’ll come demanding explanations or report to The Emperor?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"What is there to be afraid of? Don’t I still have you?" Xuexue was clearly confident in him.

"Alright, for my wife, I’m willing to go to any lengths."

Honestly, Long Rui was quite pleased with Xuexue’s clever strategy against Celestial Master Zhang today. Of course, his woman should be smarter than ordinary people. Even if Xuexue were to break the sky, he’d be there to support her.
