Chapter 2670: Xiao Jiu

Nearby, Xiao Jiu heard the words "bird’s nest" and was so frightened that it fluttered up, shouting nonstop, "It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me!"

Everyone fell silent; at such a serious moment, could this bird not come out and be funny?

They were afraid of laughing out loud and getting their heads chopped off by the Prince, which wouldn’t be worth it.

The War Prince was furious, and as the steward of the Prince’s Mansion, he had to step forward. So, while everyone dared not make a sound, the steward braced himself, bent low, and walked forward fearfully: "Reporting to the Prince, the culprit has been caught."

"Who?" Another angry roar.

The Prince’s martial power was profound; with this shout, everyone felt the roof shake a few times, dust falling down...

"Steward, how do you manage the Prince’s Mansion?" The Prince looked up just as a spider fell down, hanging on his face, instantly igniting his anger.

In this situation, everyone wanted to laugh but didn’t dare.

The Prince was in a rage, and laughing would definitely cost them their lives; they must hold it in.

The steward was almost scared to death, bent over, standing aside, not daring to make a sound; if he’s hunched over in the future, it’ll surely be because the Prince scared him.

This day after day, always bowing down, how can his back be straight?

Alas! It’s too hard!

The steward was also internally bitter, oh Prince! Such a lowly servant is only responsible for the ground’s cleanliness, can’t possibly clean the roof daily, right?

This damn spider, of all times not to fall, it falls precisely when the Prince returns, isn’t it just adding to his troubles?

Everyone was so frightened they didn’t dare to breathe a sound.

Xuexue stepped forward, gently removing the spider from his face, softly saying, "Prince, don’t be angry, the culprit has been caught."

After a few days without seeing her, his beautiful-as-a-flower woman had turned into such a state, Long Rui was so angry his lungs might explode.

"Who, who is it? Who on earth?" Long Rui roared again.

Xuexue reached out and dug her ear, saying aggrievedly, "Prince, don’t be so loud, you’re nearly making me deaf."

"Darling, are you alright? I was just too angry; I can’t believe someone dared to bully you while I was away," Long Rui hurriedly rubbed Xuexue’s ears.

This was supposed to be a tender moment, but this rub brought another issue.

Long Rui looked at his hand, covered in black, his face darkened again. That damn assassin had turned his wife into a blackened figure, and upon touching, his hand was covered in black ash; one can imagine how powerful the explosives were at that moment!

The steward pointed at a few women who were scared stiff on the ground, tremblingly saying, "Prince, it was them; we haven’t figured out who the mastermind is yet."

The steward was also a clever one, deliberately saying this to prevent the Prince from killing them in anger and breaking the clues, which would make the investigation troublesome.

Long Rui looked at the steward coldly and scolded, "What do you eat here? You can’t handle minor affairs."

Having his territory invaded once or twice, Long Rui was extremely angry.

The steward had a belly full of grievances: "Prince, the opponent was too cunning; they said it was a gift for the Princess Consort, but the lowly servant didn’t expect it to be a bundle of explosives."

Long Rui: "You’re just an idiot!"

The steward lowered his head, silently bearing the Prince’s rage.

Long Rui continued scolding, "If you want to die yourself, that’s fine, but don’t drag my wife into it."

The steward obediently nodded: "Yes!"

After scolding the steward, Long Rui turned his gaze on the women on the ground...

"Mmm mmm...!" Miss Qian’s mouth was swollen high, unable to speak a word, only tearfully looking at Long Rui, as if there were a thousand words to say but couldn’t utter.
