Chapter 2671: Three Women, One Drama

Long Rui’s sharp eyes narrowed dangerously, and he asked word by word in a chilling tone: "Who among you brought the explosives into the Prince’s Mansion to blow up my wife?"

The three women shook their heads together.

They smelled the scent of death on the Prince, and were so frightened they were trembling all over.

The Prince’s reputation was well-known, not an empty boast. Killing someone was as easy for him as crushing an ant, especially when faced with a few unarmed weak women.

The steward added, "Reporting to the Prince, they were very crafty, using outsiders’ ignorance to have others bring the explosives as gifts."

Long Rui roared again, "You even dare to speak? If it weren’t for your stupidity, could others have brought explosives in?"

The steward instantly dared not make a sound.

He’s having such a hard time!

Every sentence he uttered was met with a scathing blow from the Prince, yet he’s in charge of the mansion, and he personally handed the explosives to the Princess Consort; the responsibility is significant, and he cannot remain silent. Alas! Such misery!

Long Rui continued to scold, "From now on, everything entering the Prince’s Mansion must be inspected."

Finally, he deliberately raised his voice to emphasize, "Especially the Princess Consort’s items; anyone who foolishly lets explosives into the mansion again, I’ll chop off their head."

When Long Rui spoke, he glared at the steward, speaking word by word.

It’s too hard, the steward’s head hung lower and lower.

Long Yi couldn’t bear watching anymore and said, "Steward, stand properly, the Prince is talking to you! Where is your head hanging?"

Long Rui coldly retorted, "Can’t face anyone, might as well bury your head in your pants to save face for the Prince’s Mansion."

A grown man, being scolded like this by the Prince.

Xuexue: "Enough, Prince, stop scolding the steward. He, like me, almost got blown up."

Long Rui: "He’s just too stupid, it’s deserved. Why be so foolish and involve my wife?"

Xuexue gently touched the cold mask on his face and said tenderly, "Don’t be angry, I’m fine, aren’t I?"

"Wife, you scared me!" Suddenly, Long Rui hugged Xuexue tightly.

The whole Prince’s Mansion, with hundreds of people watching this scene...

"Prince, don’t be like this, everyone is watching!"

"Who dares to watch?"

Long Rui’s voice was filled with menace.

The hundreds of people in the mansion immediately lowered their heads, including the three women collapsed on the ground.

Xuexue’s face was smudged black, her hair a disheveled nest, and her dress tattered. She laughed coquettishly: "Annoying!"

Long Rui said with a heartache: "Wife, go back and freshen up, and I’ll avenge you."

Only then did Xuexue realize that not only was she untidy, but her clothes were torn and she was covered in dust. Her old face turned red, having almost been blown up just now. She was too furious to notice.

Xuexue: "Alright, then I’ll go back and freshen up first."

Long Rui sat down: "Hmm!"

Xuexue and Zi Xia went back to the Rain Listening Courtyard to freshen up, while Long Rui stayed behind.

The three women on the ground trembled violently; the Prince was unpredictable, and regardless of right or wrong, killing someone is just par for the course when he’s in a bad mood.

"Prince, this matter has nothing to do with me; it’s all this little cheap person causing trouble for me."

Miss Sun, contemplating repeatedly, decided to strike first and shift all responsibility to Miss Qian. After all, her mouth was injured, and she wouldn’t be able to speak for some time.

Long Rui looked at her coldly: "Who are you?"

Miss Sun: "...!"

The steward, both respectful and fearful of the Prince, reluctantly reminded him, "Prince, she is Miss Sun, a showgirl sent by the Emperor."
