Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: A Wild Horse

"Elder sister, the Fourth Prince is a guest when he comes; how can you speak to him like this?"

Situtu Qinger felt somewhat indignant on behalf of the Fourth Prince, naturally not hoping for them to have too much contact.

Xuexue raised an eyebrow, deliberately adopting a tone of confusion as she spoke, "What’s the matter? Did I say something to upset you, second sister?"

"Elder sister, why are you yelling like that? It gave me such a fright."

"That scared you? The scene just now with you and the Fourth Prince here all alone, acting all lovey-dovey, that’s what truly gave your elder sister a massive scare!"

A young unmarried lady of a reputable family, alone with a man — this was indeed improper among the households of the well-to-do.

"Elder sister, don’t talk nonsense; there’s nothing between me and the Fourth Prince." Situtu Qinger quickly glanced at the Fourth Prince and hastened to explain.

"Why so nervous? I didn’t say you two were involved." Xuexue appeared utterly at ease.

"Elder sister."

Situtu Qinger hung her head and pouted, looking like she was on the verge of tears, the picture of grievance.

The Fourth Prince actually wanted to step forward to comfort her, however, hindered by Xuexue’s presence, ultimately he held back, feeling even more pity for Situtu Qinger in his heart. If it wasn’t for power, he would have been more enamoured with a gentle and agreeable woman like Situtu Qinger.

Unlike Situtu Xuexue who, although beautiful, was like a wild horse that could not be tamed.

Just then, a large crowd appeared at the entrance of the hall; it was none other than Old Lady Mo and Mo Daoyan’s family.

They had heard that a distinguished guest had arrived at the General’s Mansion.

And moreover, it was a prince of noble standing, the biological son of the current Empress.

This was no small matter.

The Mo family members immediately were in an uproar, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the Prince’s elegance.

Originally, Old Master Mo did not dare to come; he was fearful of offending the royal family and nobles, which could cost him his head.

Old Lady Mo immediately flew into a rage: "You old fool, the earth is nearly up to your neck, and you’re still afraid of death! Why did we go through all the trouble to come to the Capital? Have you forgotten? It’s for Jianjian’s future."

Old Master Mo then fell silent, indeed! Continuing the family line with honor was the most important thing.

Mo Hengjian was set on pursuing an official career but, unfortunately, was no scholar, so here he was, following his parents to the Capital, hoping that the high officials and nobles, for Xuexue’s sake, would seek an official position for him, enabling him to return to his village with pride and honor!

"Hey, audacious unruled people, you are not allowed to go in and disturb the Fourth Prince." Several guards at the door, seeing a group of plainly dressed country folks rushing in, quickly stepped forward to block them.

Old Lady Mo put on a smiling face: "My good brother, we’re no strangers here, we are all masters of this house."

"Masters of this house?"

The guards expressed their confusion. Was the General’s Mansion so impoverished as to wear such cheap cloth?

"Right, right, we’re all masters of this house." Unexpectedly, Madam Ruan suddenly poked her head out from behind Old Lady Mo, giving the guards a start.

"You all wait here for a moment, I’ll go inform the Fourth Prince."

"Eh!"

Old Lady Mo giggled with glee: "Now it’s definitely happening."

"Yes! My son will become a Government Official Master as well." Madam Ruan smiled with a face full of comfort, as if Mo Hengjian had already achieved the position of Government Official Master.

Mo Hengjian was also brimming with joy: "Mhm, mhm."

After a short while, the reporting guard came out, waved them in, "Go on in."

"Eh!"

Old Lady Mo, grinning from ear to ear, led her whole family into the hall.

Xuexue sat to the side with a smile that was not quite a smile, and upon seeing them enter, she laughed and said, "Grandmother, since when did you become the master of the General’s Mansion?"

Old Lady Mo, as if she heard nothing, her triangular eyes glancing all around, fixated on the Fourth Prince who was dressed in regal and splendid attire.

"Oh my, this must be the noble, right? This old woman pays her respects."

With that, she took the initiative to approach and begin the ritual of kneeling and paying homage.

The Mo family members one by one followed and began to kneel.

The Fourth Prince nodded arrogantly: "All rise."
