Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

"Haha...! Brother Rui, this is great, all the irrelevant people have left, it’s just Lingling and Brother Rui now." Gu Lingqiao suppressed her distaste for Long Rui, and with a seemingly joyful expression, she reached out to pick up the snack on the table, handing it to Long Rui, and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Rui, these lotus cakes, Lingling got up in the middle of the night to specially make them for Brother Rui, won’t you try a bite, okay?"

After speaking, her eyes looked pitifully at Long Rui.

Long Rui stared straight at her without speaking.

Gu Lingqiao felt a chill in her heart, what exactly did this Ghost King mean? Just as she was feeling restless and anxious.

Long Rui reached out to pick up a small piece of cake from the plate, slowly moving it towards his mouth...

Gu Lingqiao and the old maid fixed their eyes on Long Rui’s actions, hoping he would quickly eat it.

Just as Long Rui was about to take a bite of the cake, the steward hurriedly arrived: "Prince, it’s not good, the Princess Consort has caused trouble!"

Long Rui turned around and looked at the steward, asking: "What exactly happened?"

"The Princess Consort, the Princess Consort has beaten someone outside!"

"If she hit someone, she hit someone, what’s there to be so alarmed about!" Long Rui frowned with displeasure.

"But... but...!" The steward hesitated.

"What is it?"

"The Princess Consort beat Old Master Gu’s concubine on the street, many commoners saw it." The steward said with a troubled expression,

The Princess Consort too, if you want to beat someone, find a place where there’s no one. Beat them however you like, even if you beat them to death it’s fine, at worst throw them to the mass grave.

But, she absolutely shouldn’t have done it in the street, in front of so many people, beating someone right there, letting so many commoners witness it, these are all witnesses, this time it’s hard to even try to talk our way out.

"What?" Long Rui stood up immediately, asking: "Where is the Princess Consort?"

"She is still in the street, entangled with them! This servant feared the Princess Consort would cause a great disaster, and immediately returned to report to you, Prince." The steward was initially out running an errand, who knew he would see the scene of the Princess Consort fiercely beating someone and got so scared he hurriedly ran back to report to the Prince.

"What is Long Yi doing, not watching over the Princess Consort." Long Rui hurriedly walked outside, speaking as he went: "Come, let’s go outside and have a look."

"Hey, hey...! Brother Rui, Brother Rui, you haven’t eaten the snacks yet?" As Long Rui left like that, Gu Lingqiao and the old maid were furious, they were just a tiny bit away from succeeding with their plan, who knew it would be ruined by the steward.

Gu Lingqiao gritted her teeth and said: "This damn servant should have been killed with a single stroke long ago."

The old maid gave her a gloomy look, discontentedly saying: "Kill, kill, kill, all you know is to kill. Can’t you use your brain? This isn’t Wei Country, it’s Moli Country, reckless actions could easily expose our identities, we need to solve problems with our brains, not with a butt."

Gu Lingqiao said angrily: "The ugly freak didn’t fall for it, what do we do now?"

The old maid: "What’s the rush, as long as our identities aren’t exposed, be opportunistic."

Gu Lingqiao had no other choice but to take one step at a time.

.........

The street was bustling with noise, the vendors who originally had their stalls lined up on both sides of the street had all stopped doing business, gathering together, tiptoeing and craning their necks, not knowing what they were watching?

"Hey! Isn’t that beauty the Princess Consort of War Prince? How did she get into a fight with Old Master Gu’s concubine Aunt Yu?"

"You didn’t know? This Aunt Yu is something else. It’s said she’s weird with a very troublesome personality, and given her young age and good looks, Old Master Gu dotes on her extremely, giving her anything she asks for, just shy of giving her the stars in the sky. Because of this, she normally looks down her nose at people and never takes us common folk seriously. Who knows what kind of nerves she hit today, encountering the Princess Consort of War Prince, and started cursing right away, and naturally, the two got into a fight."
