Chapter 1568: Chapter 1568: Tiger Fight
“Indeed, I was terrified when I first saw the tiger, but then I rembered the teachings of my imperial father. It gave the courage to step forward and fight the tiger. In the end, thanks to my imperial father, I finally killed this beast. I hurried back to bring the good news to my imperial father.”
The Eldest Prince appeared very excited and finally added jokingly, “Imperial Father, you can count on having a tiger fur coat next year.”
The Emperor was so happy he burst into laughter, “The Eldest Prince is right. I will indeed have a tiger fur coat next year! Hahaha…!”
The Eldest Prince glanced around and asked curiously, “Huh? Have the two Imperial Brothers not returned yet?”
Earlier in the deep mountain and forest, those two were laughing at him for not being able to hunt a tiger. Now that he hunted a tiger, he was eager to show off before them.
“Not yet! It’s been nearly the ti it takes an incense stick to burn, and they still haven’t returned. Even if they caught a tiger, they would still be considered to have lost.”
The Emperor grew more fond of the Eldest Prince, believing him to be sensible and understanding.
“Oh dear! Why is my tiger here?”
Suddenly, a rather abrupt female voice rang out at the scene.
Everyone turned to see that it was the legitimate eldest Miss from the General’s Mansion, and they all looked at her curiously. What did it matter to her if soone was capable enough to hunt a tiger and supplent their household? Why was she so agitated?”
Without regard for the curious glances from others, Situtu Xueer walked straight to the tiger, lay on it, and began to cry loudly, “My poor tiger! No wonder I couldn’t find you anywhere—you’ve been killed. It’s so pitiful.”
Standing beside the Emperor, Celestial Master Zhang was montarily stunned upon hearing Situtu Xueer’s words. Was the tiger before him really the one she had kept before? But, this tiger certainly didn’t look like the Thousand Year Striped Tiger; it wouldn’t be easily hunted by an ordinary person.
Thinking he might have heard wrongly, Celestial Master Zhang took a few steps forward and asked, “Miss Situ, is this really the tiger that lived at the General’s Mansion before?”
At this mont, Situtu Xueer was lying on the tiger, crying her heart out, showing a look of utter heartbreak, completely ignoring Celestial Master Zhang’s question.
Zi Xia spoke loudly to Situtu Xueer, “Miss, stop crying and take care of Second Miss’s funeral first!”
For a mont, no one understood what “funeral” ant.
Zi Xia carefully placed Situtu Qinger’s body on the ground.
Situ Yongjie, sitting farther away, couldn’t see clearly what was happening. He tugged at the person next to him and asked, “Hey, what are they all talking about?”
The other party gave him a strange look and replied, “It’s your own family matter, better to resolve it yourselves.”
“Indeed.”
Without getting an answer, Situ Yongjie imdiately walked over to where Situtu Qinger lay and stopped. At this mont, he still didn’t know that the person lying on the ground was his second daughter.
“Xuexue, where is your second sister? Wasn’t she out with you?”
As Situtu Xueer lay crying on the tiger’s back, she raised her head, her face like a delicate pear blossom in the rain, “Father, Second Sister is right at your feet.”
“Nonsense, how can your second sister be at my feet?” Situ Yongjie was bewildered by Situtu Xueer, unable to understand what she was saying.
Zi Xia pointed to Situtu Qinger lying on the ground, “General, the Miss is not lying; Second Miss was murdered. We only just found out and brought her body back.”
