Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2076: The Third Watch of the Night

Zi Xia had never seen the Weirdo, so naturally, she didn’t understand what the bugs Xiao Jiu was talking about meant.

Taking advantage of the moment while Zi Xia was scolding Xiao Jiu, she swiftly slipped back into her room.

"Miss, sneaking out at the third watch of the night is very dangerous... Huh! Where is she?" Zi Xia, after scolding Xiao Jiu, turned her head to speak reason with the Miss, only to discover she had already slipped away.

"Bang!"

A sound of a door closing came from not far away, clearly showing that the Miss had sneaked back into her room. Zi Xia muttered helplessly, "Watching over the Miss is almost as hard as climbing to the sky."

Last night, she had clearly seen the Miss returning to her room to sleep, but who would have known that in a blink of an eye, she had sneaked out of the residence. No wonder the Prince is so worried about the Miss; she truly never lets anyone feel at ease.

After returning to her room, Xuexue lay on her bed, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep. What evil cultivation did the Fourth Prince practice exactly? It caused so many deaths, and that Lin Kong turned out to be the Fourth Prince’s Master.

Could it be that all of the Fourth Prince’s evil cultivation was taught by him?

These various doubts lingered in Xuexue’s heart, unable to be dispelled, until almost daybreak when she finally fell asleep in a daze.

In her dream, there was a man standing by the edge of a cliff, calling her name endlessly in a heart-wrenching manner, calling one after another, causing her indescribable heartache. She wanted to respond, but no matter how she opened her mouth, she couldn’t speak, until the moment the man leaped off the cliff, and in anxiety, she woke up from her sleep...

Xuexue opened her eyes, discovering it was just a dream like a Nan Ke, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; the scene in the dream was too real, she could even still feel a faint pain in her heart.

"Oh dear, what’s wrong with me? Is it because of lack of sleep that I have such strange dreams?" Xuexue mumbled to herself as she sat on the bed.

"Knock, knock, knock... Miss, it’s time to get up."

At this time, Zi Xia called from outside.

Xuexue reached out to tidy her messy long hair and said, "Come in."

After freshening up, Zi Xia brought up the old topic again, chattering, "Miss, your behavior last night was really dangerous. The Prince has repeatedly warned you not to go out, yet you ran out at the third watch of the night. What if something happened?"

"Aren’t I perfectly fine now?" Faced with a maid like a housekeeper, Xuexue also felt helpless.

Moreover, if she hadn’t gone out last night, she wouldn’t have discovered the Fourth Prince’s secret.

Zi Xia earnestly advised, "The Prince is already exhausted investigating outside, Miss, please give him some peace of mind."

Xuexue discontentedly retorted, "Hey, hey! Are you my maid or the Prince’s maid? Why are you siding with him?"

Zi Xia said, "You both are my masters, so I listen to whoever is reasonable."

"Okay, okay, you’re the reasonable one, alright." Xuexue didn’t want to argue further with Zi Xia.

At this moment, the steward hurriedly reported, "Madam Situ, the Prince has returned and is waiting for you in the side hall."

Long Rui would always return to have breakfast with Xuexue in the morning unless something major happened. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xuexue answered indifferently, "Understood."

Side hall.

Xuexue just stepped inside.

Long Rui waved his hand, and the servants in the room withdrew one after another.

"Prince."

In the manor, Xuexue still had to adhere to protocols and couldn’t address Long Rui by name as casually as in the Mo Family Village; nobility has its rules. Even if Long Rui did not mind, others would gossip, and Xuexue didn’t want to cause trouble, so she followed the rules.

"My lady, come here." Long Rui beckoned her over.

Xuexue obediently walked over and sat next to him.

"My lady, I heard you were disobedient again last night and sneaked out?" Long Rui looked at Xuexue with dangerously glittering eyes.
