Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2067: Lenient Sentence

Long Rui said again, "The government office is afraid of causing panic, so they have sealed off the information. Of course, the common people wouldn’t know."

"That’s not right. In the past few days, I haven’t heard about any family holding a funeral in the Capital either."

"There are fewer incidents within the Capital, but in the surrounding villages outside the city, almost every day someone is murdered. The situation is getting worse and has already started to spread towards the Capital. So, I rushed back early to tell you about this, so you can stay at home more. During this period, if you don’t need to go out, it’s best not to go out."

"Do you know who is responsible?"

"It’s precisely because we can’t figure it out that it’s so troubling. There’s not a single clue."

Long Rui was also very troubled. Last night, he received an urgent report and took his subordinates to investigate outside the city. That’s when he discovered that in every village, there were victims, and these victims died in very strange ways. Besides a black handprint on their bodies, their eyes had been gouged out.

"The situation is getting worse. I estimate the government won’t be able to hide it for long. Everyone will know eventually. Wife, you must listen and minimize going out until the case is solved."

Xuexue laughed and said, "Got it."

Long Rui glanced at her and said, "Wife, no perfunctory answers, you have to respond seriously."

Xuexue quickly put away the smile on her face and answered properly, "Understood, my dear husband."

"This matter is no joke, wife. You must keep it in mind. I know you’re restless, but if you really must go out, take more people with you. If not, I can arrange some Hidden Guards for you."

Upon hearing this, Xuexue shook her head repeatedly, "No, you know the secrets I have. Too many people would only make things worse."

Long Rui thought so too. Xuexue has inner space, and there are little ghosts and a Thousand Year Striped Tiger. Naturally, the fewer people who know, the better. "Alright, I won’t force you, but remember, if there’s any real danger, hide in your space and don’t come out, understand?"

"Got it."

Even though Xuexue’s martial arts skills aren’t high, she has the advantage of having inner space and Xiao Taohong to help her. Even when facing a supreme expert, she might not necessarily lose.

After instructing Xuexue, Long Rui went out with Long Yi.

The women in the residence all knew Xuexue’s status in the Prince’s heart, so usually, no one dared to provoke her. As a result, Rain Listening Courtyard was quite peaceful.

"Miss, if you’re really bored, I can go to the Prince’s study and get some books for you to look at."

"No need." Xuexue yawned, "I’m sleepy. I’ll go back to the room for a nap."

Saying that, she really stood up, walked toward the room, and with a thud, closed the door.

Zixia looked at the door, confused, muttering to herself, "What’s wrong with Miss? She just woke up, how can she be sleepy again? No, I must tell the Prince when he returns. If Miss’s health is in question, what should be done?"

Inside the room, the door was locked well, but the room was empty.

It turned out that Xuexue used the excuse of resting in her room to enter her space.

Xiao Taohong was crouching in front of a dozen Insect People, looking at them with a face full of compassion.

Even when Xuexue entered the space, she didn’t notice.

"Little Darling is so pitiful, even more than sister," Xiao Taohong wasn’t afraid of the insects in the mouth of the Insect People and reached out to touch the cheek of one of them.

Xuexue quietly pulled the Little Tiger beside her and asked in a low voice, "What’s up with Xiao Taohong?"

Little Tiger glanced at Xuexue and said, "She’s probably missing her brothers and sisters again."
