"Ah ha ha...! Everyone, drink tea, drink tea, I won’t be polite."
Saying this, he reached out, picked up an exquisite teacup, took a small sip, and smacked his lips: "Hmm! Indeed, not bad, it’s good tea, top-grade Dahongpao Tea."
"Celestial Master Zhang really knows his stuff."
"I was fortunate enough to receive a small can from The Emperor, that’s how I can recognize it." Celestial Master Zhang stroked the goatee on his chin and smiled cheerfully.
This trip to the General’s Mansion was the right decision. General Situ was truly generous, even willing to serve them the top-grade Dahongpao Tea, granted by The Emperor himself.
This top-grade Dahongpao Tea isn’t sothing the average family can afford. It is a tribute from the Western Regions to the Imperial Family, and because it’s scarce, it’s extrely precious. Not even the Noble Consorts in the palace may get to drink it, only a few senior ministers are gifted by The Emperor.
After so pleasantries, Celestial Master Zhang had sothing on his mind. He looked at Xuexue several tis, wanting to speak but holding back.
Xuexue noticed this and couldn’t help but ask, "Does the Heavenly Master have sothing to ask?"
Xuexue’s initiative made Celestial Master Zhang very happy. He thought, Miss Situ is truly wise, to actually see that I have sothing on my mind.
"Hehe...! Does Miss rember what she promised to ?"
Xuexue put down the teacup in her hand and smiled softly: "Is Celestial Master Zhang referring to the matter of your madam’s invitation?"
Of course, she hadn’t forgotten. This Celestial Master Zhang had an unusual standing and was quite adept with ghosts and gods. Xuexue had the ghost of Xiao Taohong with her and naturally had a great deal of apprehension about him. She paid a lot of attention to his movents, fearing that if by accident he caught Xiao Taohong, it would be a disastrous loss.
"Yes, yes, it’s unusual for Miss Situ to rember."
"How could I forget such an honorable matter! Don’t worry, Celestial Master Zhang, in a few days Xuexue will definitely visit."
"Good, good!"
Celestial Master Zhang was extrely pleased, repeatedly saying ’good,’ and again picking up the teacup to savor the tea. His eyes narrowed slightly in enjoynt.
Among everyone in the hall, he was the happiest.
The rest of the people were either on edge or had gloomy faces.
Take Situ Yongjie for instance, he was on tenterhooks because the Fourth Prince was not happy at his mansion. As a Minister, he naturally couldn’t be at peace with that. He understood the Fourth Prince’s thoughts; having been undermined by the War Prince halfway felt humiliating, and he was eager to regain his dignity, hence why he kept entangling with Xuexue.
However, Xuexue was now the War Prince’s woman, and it was impossible with the Fourth Prince. So, even with unease in his heart, Situ Yongjie could only play dumb; he couldn’t possibly encourage the Fourth Prince to snatch the War Prince’s woman, could he?
Moreover, this woman was his own daughter and he couldn’t ruin her reputation.
The atmosphere in the room was sowhat peculiar.
Indeed, a love triangle, entangled and unclear.
You love , I don’t love you, one pursuing another, and the most troubleso thing is, one of them is already married.
Originally, even Celestial Master Zhang, who greatly enjoyed drinking tea, couldn’t handle it. Even with the top-grade Dahongpao Tea, it was sowhat hard to swallow, so he casually found an excuse and took his leave.
Situ Yongjie chatted with the Fourth Prince in a disjointed manner.
The latter, however, seed absent-minded, his eyes fixed intently on Xuexue, with no sense of avoiding suspicion.
Situtu Qinger, in turn, sat puffing with anger on one side, occasionally raising her head to glare viciously at Situtu Xueer.
These dog lovers had hard her miserably in her previous life.
In this life, she must tornt them thoroughly before killing them, only then could she vent the hatred in her heart.
