Although Celestial Master Zhang is a favored figure by The Emperor and holds a high status in the Imperial court, he is also known as being henpecked, which isn’t really surprising to anyone. Even though people are wary of him due to his proximity to The Emperor, nobody dares to mock him upfront, yet gossip behind his back is inevitable.
As the two continued their discussion.
Situ Yongjie ca out with the people from the mansion to greet them.
Situ Qinger was the most excited, sticking closely to Situ Yongjie, her beautiful eyes fixated on the Fourth Prince standing at the door. Her impatience looked as though she might rush up to him and indulge in a tender mont in his arms.
However, with so many eyes watching, she knew she had to maintain her decorous image.
Yet, the eagerness in her eyes could not be concealed.
It was obvious to anyone that Second Miss Situ harbored feelings for the Fourth Prince.
Well, well, well! Things are just too ssy.
Everyone knows that the Fourth Prince is relentlessly pursuing Xuexue, even though she is already married, he still refuses to give up, showing up every few days to create a scene. Now, her younger sister is trying to get involved; this whole situation is honestly more dramatic than a stage play.
Situ Yongjie stepped forward, cupped his hands towards the Fourth Prince, and also saluted Celestial Master Zhang: "Fourth Prince, Celestial Master Zhang, your distinguished presence is an honor to us."
These two significant figures must not be offended.
One is the Fourth Prince of the current dynasty, whose mother is the present Empress, the other is a Celestial Master, a favored figure by The Emperor. A single word from them carries more weight than ten from others. Situ Yongjie didn’t want trouble, so naturally, he would not offend them.
Celestial Master Zhang cupped his hands in return, smiling widely, "General Situ, we have co uninvited, apologies for the disturbance."
The Fourth Prince wore a faint smile at the corner of his lips, his gaze sweeping past Situ Yongjie to land on Xuexue behind him, the sparks in his eyes intense enough to electrify soone.
The ardently passionate Situ Qinger saw this and turned her head following his gaze. To her dismay, the Fourth Prince’s eyes were on Xuexue. It felt like a bucket of cold water poured over her, instantly chilling her heart, and she couldn’t help but resent Situ Xuexue once again. This little cheap person who is already married, why does she continue fighting for n? Truly shaless.
In a mont of extre hatred, she involuntarily muttered, "Shaless seductress fox."
This sentence was heard clearly by everyone present.
Situ Yongjie’s face changed imdiately, but criticizing her openly was not appropriate either.
He could only pretend he hadn’t heard, forcing a smile, "It is a great honor for that both of you have graced us with your presence, please co inside the mansion to gather."
"Haha...! Very well." Celestial Master Zhang, being a smooth talker, quickly laughed it off. Furthermore, he had his reasons for visiting the General’s Mansion today and naturally did not want to create an awkward atmosphere.
The Fourth Prince showed no restraint, walking directly to Xuexue’s side, looking at her intensely, his voice smooth as silk: "Xuexue, it’s been a while, you’ve grown skinnier, is life at the War Prince’s Mansion not treating you well?"
Xuexue really felt like splashing a drink in his face, wanting to ask him, in front of everyone, which eye of his saw her getting skinnier?
How laughable.
At the War Prince’s Mansion, although Madam Wang was constantly looking for faults, it was still much more comfortable compared to the General’s Mansion.
At the War Prince’s Mansion, it was only Madam Wang giving her trouble.
But it was different at the General’s Mansion, where the Old Madam, along with Situ Qinger and her siblings, tead up against her. Although she despised their behavior, as the saying goes, ’A spear in the open is easy to dodge, a stab in the dark hard to guard against,’ there were tis when she couldn’t notice everything. This kind of life wore her out, so changing her environnt wasn’t a bad idea; that’s why she agreed to marry into the War Prince’s Mansion.
