Chapter 601: Chapter 601 War Prince’s Mansion Chapter 601: Chapter 601 War Prince’s Mansion Ever since Situ Yongjie learned of Xuexue’s existence, he had repeatedly visited the War Prince’s Mansion to inquire about news from Long Rui.

Of course, Long Rui had his own reasons for bringing Xuexue’s portrait to the General’s Mansion. His aim was naturally to bring Xuexue to the Capital to alleviate his longing.

When he was incognito as Big Bull in Mo Family Village, he had noticed the unusual bracelet on Xuexue’s wrist, a piece not commonly owned by ordinary families, unless they were Imperial Kinsmen. Thus, he had specifically commissioned a portrait and sent Long Yi back to the Capital to thoroughly investigate. Indeed, the bracelet was a gift from The Emperor which was easily traced back to Lady Li, who had already passed away.

Rumors had it that Lady Li died in childbirth, and the infant girl in her womb perished along with her.

When Long Yi relayed the news to Long Rui,

Long Rui furrowed his brows, pondering how Xuexue eventually ended up in Mo Family Village. It seemed that he would have to personally ask Xuexue about this in the future.

After returning to the Capital for over a month and dealing with all the troublesome matters concerning the old Emperor, on the surface, everyone maintained a facade of civility. However, given the old Emperor’s repeated attempts to assassinate him through hired killers, Long Rui knew that their peace would not last much longer. He was already making plans for subsequent actions!

Having attained his current position, Long Rui was by no means dull-witted. He deeply understood that those whose merits overshadowed their master would never meet a good end.

Moreover, the old Emperor had a narrow mind and couldn’t tolerate him.

Another assassination attempt was only a matter of time.

He wanted to take advantage of the peacetime to spend some quality time with Xuexue.

Therefore, he gave Situ Yongjie the address of Mo Family Village.

With the address in hand, Situ Yongjie treasured it like a precious find and rushed back to the General’s Mansion to pack his belongings. He took dozens of servants and two horse carriages and prepared to fetch Xuexue from Mo Family Village.

By the time Lady Tang found out, Ouyang Yongjie had already set out with his servants.

Angered, she was afflicted with a painful chest, smashing the tremendously valuable ceramic decor in her room. As she smashed, she cursed wildly, “You wretched woman, Lady Li! Even in death, you do not give me peace, do you? You dare return, you mongrel? I’ll kill her just the same.”

The usually dignified, graceful, and regal Lady Tang was nowhere to be seen. At that moment, she resembled a madwoman.

Situ Qinger stood by the doorway, frowning deeply as she watched her mother. She gracefully walked into the room, snatched the jade vase from Lady Tang’s hand, restored it to its place on the table, turned around, and said softly, “Mother, you always teach me to be restrained. Today, you are not managing it. If father saw you like this, it would damage your image.”

Lady Tang knew she had been somewhat excessive today, but she couldn’t help herself. The person who had been dead for over a decade was somehow alive again; how could she accept that?

“My heart is uneasy,” Lady Tang abruptly collapsed onto a stool.

Situ Qinger advised, “She’s just a bastard, Mother. Why be so angry? Once she returns to the mansion, she will still have to live by your grace. Even her eventual marriage will be handled by you. When the time comes, won’t you have control over her fate? There’s no need to be angry here! Getting sick over it isn’t worth it.”

These words awakened Lady Tang as if from a dream.

Realizing with a start, indeed! Having that little bastard back in the General’s Mansion was even better; she could manipulate that girl’s entire life, shaping it however she wished. With this thought, Lady Tang’s spirits suddenly lifted.
