Chapter 1050: Chapter 1050 Master, the Servant Can’t Read
Shortly, the Fourth Prince was riding out in a carriage, and after about an hour, he arrived in front of a large mansion, where the carriage slowly stopped.
“Wait here for a while.”
The Fourth Prince jumped down from the carriage, entering the courtyard alone.
Due to the events of the past few days, the dwarf had not gone out and thus was unaware of the calamity that had unfolded in the Capital these two days because of him.
At this Shichen Chinese Ti, he was practicing his Cultivation Technique in his room. Since his last encounter in Shuangxing County where Xuexue had severed his tendons, though healed by his Master, his martial arts skills had substantially diminished. Whenever he had ti, he diligently trained, hoping to regain at least half of his forr prowess, a matter naturally kept secret from the Fourth Prince.
“Master, the Fourth Prince is here to visit.”
The one knocking was a servant who attended to him.
They regarded this temperantal dwarf with both respect and fear, yet they had no choice but to serve him.
“Well then! I’ll be right out.”
The hoarse voice of the dwarf resonated.
The west wing room.
The Fourth Prince sat by the table, his face dark and gloomy.
The dwarf, unaware of what had happened, thought the Fourth Prince had so mission for him! Having been cooped up these past days, he hurried over briskly and nervously.
“Fourth Prince, if there’s anything, you could have just sent a servant to instruct , why trouble yourself to co here in person!”
The Fourth Prince, his piercing eyes intently glaring at the unsightly dwarf before him, pondered whether keeping such a character by his side was a right or wrong decision.
“Why… why are you staring at like that?”
The Fourth Prince remained silent, staring at him, causing the dwarf to feel uneasy.
“What good deed have you done these past two days, don’t you know exactly what it is?” the Fourth Prince said darkly.
The dwarf, completely puzzled, responded: “Fourth Prince, I have not left the house these two days, I’ve been right here in the courtyard! You can ask the servants if you don’t believe .”
The Fourth Prince turned his head and looked at the servant beside him, who silently nodded, confirming the dwarf’s words.
Indeed, it had been several days since the tragic death of his uncle, and the dwarf had naturally been in the courtyard during this period.
“I am referring to the events of a few days ago.”
“I’ve been here in the courtyard, I didn’t go out even then.”
“Nonsense, are you still lying?”
The Fourth Prince was furious, violently striking the table with his hand. For such a monster, he had even lost his powerful grandfather’s support. This was outrageous.
Facing the sudden wrath of the Fourth Prince, the dwarf was baffled. What had he said wrong to anger his Master so much?
“I don’t understand, please enlighten , Fourth Prince.”
“So you’ve caused such misery and still don’t get it, huh? Very well!” The Fourth Prince said, his cold laughter brimming with anger.
Faced with the Fourth Prince’s baffling accusations, the dwarf was even more confused. Having just arrived in the Capital and not having received any tasks, why would the Fourth Prince suddenly be angry at him?
“See for yourself.”
Unable to bear it any longer, the Fourth Prince pulled out a thick sheaf of docunts from his bosom and furiously threw it at him.
The dwarf picked up the docunts one by one from the ground, looking and looking, still completely clueless.
“Fourth Prince, what are all these?”
“Are you blind? Can’t you read them yourself?” the Fourth Prince roared again.
The dwarf looked miserable: “Fourth Prince, I can’t read, I truly don’t know what’s written.”
Since childhood, he’d been a street urchin, struggling even to eat, never having the chance to attend the Academy for an education. If not for eting his Master, he might have starved to death in so dim corner.
The Fourth Prince was nearly infuriated to death, letting out a frustrated shout: “Ah Fu, read it to him.”
“Yes.”
A person resembling a guard stepped forward, took the docunts from the dwarf’s hands and started reading them aloud.
