Chapter 845: Grasping the Only Lifesaving Straw
Situ Qinger was delighted upon hearing this; it seemed she did hold a place in the Fourth Prince’s heart. However, she did not let her happiness show on her face.
"Fourth Prince, you shouldn’t say such things. My elder sister, having been thrown into the commoners’ world from a young age, is just accustomed to a free and unrestrained life. It’s merely that she can’t change her nature so quickly. Actually, she is a good person with a straightforward nature and takes good care of us sisters."
That day, the sight of Situ Qinger and Xuexue in a standoff in the hall was vivid in the Fourth Prince’s memory. He knew the sisters were at odds, but he thought to himself that Second Miss Situ was not only breathtakingly beautiful but also genuinely kind-hearted for not seizing the opportunity to speak ill of Miss Situ. This made him regard her differently.
"Second Miss is truly a lady of noble birth, with behavior that’s both dignified and generous, invoking admiration."
"You flatter me, Fourth Prince," Situ Qinger responded, her heart swelling with pride while she remained demure on the surface.
Just then, a house servant from the doorkeeper’s post hurried in.
"Second Miss, something terrible has happened."
Situ Qinger was displeased but maintained a radiant smile due to the Fourth Prince’s presence, gently chiding, "What’s with this panic and no manners? Can’t you see the Fourth Prince is here? If your commotion disturbs our distinguished guest, not even nine heads would be enough for you to lose."
