Chapter 1673: Chapter 1673: Substitute
“It’s true, my wife.”
“I don’t believe it.”
“No matter what, you should at least give a chance to explain, right?”
“Fine, I’ll give you a chance to weasel your way out. Let’s see if you can spin a tale.”
“My wife, I really didn’t lie to you. I’m always honest.”
“Are you going to say it or not? If not, get out, I need to change my clothes.” Xuexue’s face darkened, showing she was losing patience.
“I’ll talk, of course I’ll talk.” With a rare chance to explain, Long Rui quickly said, “My wife, you really misunderstood. Actually, that night, what Zi Xia saw was just my doppelganger.”
“Doppelganger?”
“Yes.”
“You haven’t done anything disgraceful, so why have a doppelganger?”
“The Emperor has always been eying suspiciously, you know that. Having a doppelganger is convenient, just like now, I’m at the Mo Family Village, but there’s still a War Prince sitting in the War Prince’s mansion! The Emperor wouldn’t notice anything strange and wouldn’t send assassins after , saving a lot of trouble.”
Xuexue was stunned for a mont; all this ti, it was just a doppelganger. Her expression softened imdiately, and she muttered, “Why didn’t you say earlier, causing such a big misunderstanding.”
“I was afraid of bothering you, my wife, by saying too much.”
“I’m only bothered when you don’t say it!”
Long Rui’s conflict with the Emperor was bound to cause trouble eventually, Xuexue knew this well. However, since she also intended to kill the Fourth Prince, she was going against the Royal Family anyway, so offending one more Emperor wasn’t a big deal to her.
Since the Fourth Prince’s birth mother is the Empress, to clip his wings and cut his ans of retreat, the only way is to dethrone the Empress first. Only then could she deal with the Fourth Prince, as the Empress has the Pri Minister backing her, making her formidable.
Long Rui looked at Xuexue, seriously asking, “Given my bad relationship with the Emperor, are you afraid?”
“Not afraid.”
“The future could be very dangerous.”
“Don’t worry about . Just do what you need to do, I can protect myself and absolutely won’t hold you back.”
“What are you saying? Silly girl, don’t say ‘hold back’. Even if you hold back, your husband will be happy.”
“Uh-huh.”
Upon hearing this, Xuexue felt as if she had eaten candy, her heart sweetened.
The two resolved their misunderstanding and sweetly embraced each other.
Just then, Zi Xia walked in carrying so washing items. Walking in, she saw the scene, she was so startled that she dropped the small wooden basin in her hands…
“Bang!”
Water splashed everywhere.
The loud noise woke the sweet couple. When Long Rui turned to look, it was this girl causing trouble again, looking sowhat displeased. Every ti he was having a romantic mont with his wife, she would co and interrupt.
Zi Xia looked terrified, pointing at them with trembling fingers, stuttering, “You… you… you two are doing… doing what?”
Xuexue pulled herself out of Long Rui’s embrace, calmly saying, “Zi Xia, what did you do? Being so careless, how could you knock over the washbasin? Quickly clean up! It’s all wet everywhere, it’s unpleasant to see.”
“Miss, you are a married woman, how can you be getting cozy with him?” Zi Xia snapped back, quickly pulling Xuexue aside, eyeing Long Rui as if guarding against a thief.
Zi Xia felt that from now on, the major tasks in the Mo Family Village were to prevent fire, theft, and Big Bull.
Darn, it was too scary. She just looked away for a mont, and the two of them got cozy. Isn’t Miss about to put a green hat on the War Prince?
