Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: The War Prince

Everyone present knew that Long Rui did it on purpose.

But what could they do? The man held high power and authority; none dared expose him.

The War Prince’s martial arts are unparalleled, and his inner strength is famous throughout the world. No sound within a hundred paces escapes his ears.

Especially with the Fourth Prince shouting at him so loudly just now.

Even a fool could see that the War Prince deliberately snubbed the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince gritted his teeth in hatred, yet outwardly appeared to be utterly calm, speaking with forced politeness: "War Prince and General Situ were discussing official matters; I was presumptuous."

In their hearts, everyone praised the Fourth Prince for his grace and magnanimity, truly worthy of being their Fourth Prince.

In the hearts of the people, the Fourth Prince was always gentle, courteous, and never showed the airs of a Prince. His reputation in the Capital was also quite good.

The Fourth Prince thought that by speaking in public like this, he was offering Long Rui and himself a way out.

Who knew that Long Rui would show no consideration, coldly saying, "This is a memorial hall; who talks business in a memorial hall?"

"Well... haha...!"

Everyone was watching! The Fourth Prince’s face was extremely embarrassed.

Long Rui ignored him further, turning to Situ Yongjie, saying: "General Situ, I have matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave."

Then, raising his voice to speak to Situtu Xueer beside him: "Miss Situ, if anyone dares bully you in the future, feel free to come to the War Prince’s Mansion for help."

The War Prince’s move was like a bolt of lightning striking the ground, stunning everyone into silence. They all wondered if the War Prince had taken a liking to Miss Situ. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to the General’s Mansion without reason, helped her out of trouble, and publicly declared that she could seek help from the War Prince’s Mansion.

With this, the War Prince undoubtedly announced to everyone that Situtu Xueer would henceforth be under his protection. Anyone daring trouble Miss Situ would be on a collision course with him, Long Rui.

Thinking this, everyone’s gaze towards Xuexue changed.

They all considered her not simple; she had just returned to the Capital not long ago and already had connections with the War Prince. It seemed that with the War Prince backing the General’s Mansion, offending anyone, one must never offend the General’s Mansion.

Offending the General’s Mansion meant offending the War Prince, and in Moli Country, offending the War Prince was a dead end.

Such thoughts seemed reasonable. Everyone knew the War Prince was notorious for his lustful exploits, with his famed nightly conquests of a hundred women.

Although Miss Situ had spent over a decade in the common world, she was a national beauty. Among the many noblewomen in the Capital, she stood out like a crane among chickens. The War Prince taking an interest in her seemed only natural.

Seeing everyone’s fearful expressions, Xuexue understood well. Currently, she was weak and indeed needed a powerful supporter to help her maintain appearances, preventing those with malicious intent from secretly acting against her.

Moreover, after Auntie Tang’s recent death, Prince Pu surely would not easily give up.

With the War Prince’s Mansion as her shield, it was certain he wouldn’t dare openly cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Xuexue loudly responded: "Xuexue thanks the Prince for the General’s Mansion. If anything comes up, I will definitely visit personally, and I hope the Prince won’t forget his promise today."

On the surface, Xuexue maintained a serious demeanor, yet inwardly she couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Long Rui, this man, whispered sweet nothings to her in bed last night, yet today he pretends to greet her as if they were strangers, which is truly laughable.

Watching Xuexue’s mouth curve slightly upward, bearing a look of wanting to laugh but not daring to show it.

"Ahem, ahem...!"

Long Rui immediately coughed forcefully, reminding Xuexue that even in public, the act must be thorough.
