"Don’t answer so quickly, think about it. That family is big. Maybe the person you’re looking for is inside!" Xuexue coaxed carefully.
This sentence successfully made the Weirdo halt his forward wriggling, turn his head, and ask, "What family, where?"
Xuexue: "I am going to this really impressive house tonight, bigger than a big family."
The Weirdo seed a bit impatient and said, "Stop beating around the bush. Where exactly is it?"
Xuexue: "Head north, about two thousand ters. There’s a household there where the current Fourth Prince resides, also the Empress’s son. Sir, do you dare to go?"
After hearing Xuexue’s words, the Weirdo’s voice beca even colder and sharper: "A re fourth prince’s mansion. The Master dares not go there? If it’s the Imperial Palace, the Master will go whenever he pleases. The current Emperor is nothing, the Master will twist off his head as a stool sooner or later."
For so reason, the Weirdo suddenly beca agitated.
The Weirdo’s reaction was very intense, which startled Xuexue. No one knew what kind of grudges this Weirdo had with the Royal Family.
"What are you still standing around for? Lead the way," said the Weirdo, lying on the ground, suddenly to Xuexue.
"Alright, alright!" Xuexue replied repeatedly.
Whatever grudges they had didn’t matter. Xuexue decided to get through the night first.
The Fourth Prince’s mansion, at the gate.
Two stone lions stood majestically on either side. Due to the late night silence, the gate was tightly closed. The surrounding wall was very high, about ten ters or so.
The Weirdo raised his head to look at this luxurious mansion, a strong hatred emanating from his eyes, as he muttered to himself: "I feast on the wind and sleep under the stars every day, and you are enjoying prosperity and wealth? Even your descendants benefit from it. Heaven is truly blind."
Xuexue felt very strange. It seed this Weirdo had deep ties with the Royal Family.
The Weirdo’s temper was strange, and she dared not ask easily, fearing he might leave in anger.
"Sir, let’s go in!" As soon as Xuexue spoke, she felt a blur before her eyes, and the Weirdo on the ground had vanished.
Though she knew this Weirdo’s skills were extraordinary, she never expected his speed to be this fast, which surprised Xuexue secretly.
.........
This is the most secluded courtyard of the Fourth Prince’s mansion, rarely visited, even during the day. This courtyard is basically abandoned.
Yet at this mont, a noise emanated from inside.
"Fourth Prince, spare ! Fourth Prince!" It was a woman’s tearful voice.
Xuexue quietly approached, as she could not see or hear clearly. Eventually, she simply jumped onto the roof, lay down, and gently lifted a roof tile to peek inside...
Inside the room were two people, one was the Fourth Prince, the other was a woman whose attire suggested she was a maid from the mansion.
The maid was bound with a rope and was trembling all over, pleading with the Fourth Prince: "Fourth Prince, what did I do wrong? Why must you tie up?"
The Fourth Prince tonight was terrifying, as if he had turned into a devil. His usual gentleness and elegance were gone, replaced with a sinister killing aura. His eyes and lips beca dark red, and even his voice had changed to a shrill tone, completely different from his dayti self.
"Hehehe...! It’s just your bad luck. In your next life, choose your parents carefully. Be born into a wealthy family, don’t beco a servant, and you won’t face such a fate."
