Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2081: Useless Junk
In the hall, Xuexue was passionately entertaining the Fourth Prince, offering both tea and snacks, and even used the Prince’s top-grade Dahongpao tea.
"Fourth Prince, try this, it’s the Da Hong Pao tea that the Prince has been collecting for years. He usually can’t bear to drink it." Saying this, Xuexue poured him a small cup.
"Thank you, Miss Situ." The Fourth Prince secretly glanced at Xuexue, who was smiling radiantly. Last night, someone sneaked into the fourth prince’s mansion; besides the weirdo, there was another woman.
The Fourth Prince suspected it was Situtu Xueer, because Situtu Xueer also knows martial arts. Last time, she almost slit his throat, so he specially came today to gather information.
He never dreamed that Situtu Xueer would be so enthusiastic towards him.
"Prince is well." The voice of a servant sounded outside the door.
Soon after, Long Rui strode in.
The Fourth Prince quickly stood up: "War Prince."
Long Rui glanced at him, saying, "What wind blows today that the Fourth Prince has come?"
The Fourth Prince laughed, "We had some misunderstandings before, and today I’ve specially come with gifts to apologize."
After finishing, he gently clapped his hands, and the servant standing behind him placed a box on the table.
Xuexue smiled at Long Rui: "Prince, the Fourth Prince is truly courteous. Coming here, he even brings gifts."
Long Rui said coldly, "The Fourth Prince is generous, and every gift must certainly be a rare treasure."
The Fourth Prince’s face stiffened for a moment while unwrapping the gift, but quickly returned to normal, smiling: "Today’s visit was too hurried, I didn’t prepare anything good, just some small tokens, Prince, please don’t mind."
Speaking, he reached out and opened the gift box, revealing a piece of cloth.
Long Rui laughed disdainfully, saying, "The Fourth Prince went to great lengths just to bring an ordinary piece of cloth here. Truthfully, our servants at War Prince’s Mansion wouldn’t use this kind of material."
The Fourth Prince’s face changed for a moment but quickly recovered, smiling good-naturedly: "Haha, it’s embarrassing, I was in a rush, didn’t want to come empty-handed, so I casually brought a piece of cloth, Prince and madam, please don’t laugh."
Long Rui glanced at the jade pendant on his waist, saying, "If the Fourth Prince intended to give gifts, anything on him would be better than this piece of worthless cloth."
The Fourth Prince followed Long Rui’s gaze to the jade pendant on his waist, his face showing reluctance. This jade pendant was made of Hetian Jade, given by the Empress. He usually couldn’t bear to wear it, today being its first time worn, and it was already noticed by Long Rui.
Xuexue noticed the Fourth Prince’s pained expression and deliberately said, "Prince, you don’t need to make things difficult for him; maybe this jade pendant is the Fourth Prince’s family heirloom!"
Long Rui shook his head, saying, "The Fourth Prince comes from a noble background; how could a worthless jade pendant be a family heirloom? Besides, The Emperor, being of supreme authority, has countless treasures, each of them immensely valuable. Even an heirloom wouldn’t use such a worthless item."
Xuexue and Long Rui chimed together, making it hard for the Fourth Prince to maintain his composure, especially when he heard Long Zhui refer to his jade pendant as a worthless item; he thought it looked quite rare normally, but now found it rather an eyesore.
He took the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xuexue: "Miss Situ, this small gift is just a token of appreciation."
Xuexue glanced at Long Rui with difficulty, whispering: "Such an expensive thing, I really dare not accept it."
Long Rui: "Madam, accept it, it’s fine, they’re just trivial trinkets, not worth much money, the Fourth Prince won’t mind."
