Chapter 2696: Satisfaction

On the rooftop, Xuexue looked on with a face full of lament, resting her chin on one hand, and murmured to herself, "Men who have so many women are just trouble. For the sake of fighting over a man, they scheme every day and live surrounded by conspiracies, it’s terrifying."

Next to her, Long Rui suddenly spoke, "Wife, don’t be scared. I’ll only need you as my woman in the future."

Xuexue pouted and said, "You’re just bragging. There are no fewer than hundreds of women in the War Prince’s Mansion right now. Just the other day, they were causing me trouble. And you still have the face to say that."

Long Rui put on a smiling face: "Accidents, just accidents. In the future, if anyone dares to trouble you, I’ll kill them."

Xuexue: "So many beauties, can you bear it?"

Long Rui: "What’s there to bear? They’re just decorations! If it weren’t for The Emperor sending them, I would have sold them all long ago."

Xuexue: "It’s not too late to sell them now!"

Long Rui with a smiling face said, "Wife, you might not know, many of the women sent by The Emperor are daughters of officials. If I sold them, it wouldn’t be good to explain to The Emperor."

Xuexue: "They’re all spies, what’s there not to explain?"

At the end

"Who knows if one day you’ll have a whim and use them."

"Wife, I swear, such a day will never come."

"I heard people say that when men are young, they can control themselves, but when they’re old, they particularly like young and beautiful girls. Prince, is it true?"

"Don’t listen to their nonsense. I’ll always love only you."

"Che!"

"Really, I swear!"

"Words are useless, show it with actions!"

Just as Xuexue finished speaking, she felt a warm sensation close to her forehead. She looked up and met Long Rui’s eyes squarely, clearly seeing a fire burning in them.

Turns out, the warm sensation just now was Long Rui kissing her forehead.

Long Rui said hoarsely: "Wife, are you satisfied with this action?"

Xuexue blinked but said nothing.

Long Rui rubbed his chin with his hand, looking unsatisfied, and said: "Hmm, since wife didn’t react, it must be because I wasn’t working hard enough. How about we try again?"

Upon hearing this, Xuexue promptly climbed off the roof and murmured to herself, "It’s almost dawn, we better hurry and finish off that old scoundrel."

After speaking, she flashed and jumped several meters.

Long Rui grinned smugly: "Looks like my wife is shy."

The bedroom.

Old Master Gu lay on the bed, covered with a quilt, resting with his eyes closed. The doctor had just seen him, saying he’s not in much trouble, and prescribed some herbal medicine, saying that after a few days he would recover his vitality.

After the servants boiled the medicine and gave it to him, they all withdrew.

It’s midnight now, there’s nothing going on, and they can’t disturb the master’s rest.

Due to being recently poisoned, two servant boys were left at the door to guard, in case the master needed anything in the midnight, they would be ready to assist him.

Xuexue bent down and picked off two fragments from the roof tile, holding them in her hand.

She jumped down from the roof, silently moved to the door, and flicked her hand...

"Whizz whizz...!"

The two small fragments hit the acupoints of the two servant boys, and without even a sound, their bodies went limp and they collapsed to the ground.

Long Rui also followed from behind: "Wife!"

Xuexue turned and glanced at him: "Let’s go in."

Long Rui: "Alright!"

...............

Old Master Gu lay relaxing in bed under a thick quilt, when all of a sudden the room’s temperature dropped dramatically, and a chill seeped through the quilt and chilled him to the bone...
