Chapter 707 - Chapter 707 Chapter 707 Getting More and More Irritable

Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Getting More and More Irritable Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Getting More and More Irritable “Make it quick,” Situ Qinger waved her hand impatiently, her mind wholly consumed with the thought of getting her maternal grandfather to help her escape the clutches of the War Prince.

She had completely forgotten about Lady Tang’s uncertain fate and that she was lying in bed.

She was well aware that her father, desperate to curry favor with the War Prince, would never plead on her behalf to prevent Long Rui from taking her as a concubine. Situ Qinger weighed her options and concluded that her maternal grandfather was the only reliable ally.

“Mistress, the carriage has arrived; it’s waiting at the mansion’s gate. Please hurry,” Orchid and Zhu Hua, who had previously gone to call the carriage, entered and spoke in unison.

“Mm.”

Situ Qinger immediately headed outside, followed closely by her two maids. They had no choice, as they were her personal maids. Wherever their master went, they had to follow.

Unless there was a special circumstance in which their master tasked them with specific duties, they were to stay close by at all times.

At the General’s Mansion entrance.

On any normal day, Situ Qinger felt that her carriage stood out amongst those of the other ladies and young mistresses and held a certain prestige. However, today, when compared to the War Prince’s carriage, hers seemed insignificant and unworthy.

Indeed, the General’s Mansion’s carriage, no matter how luxurious, was only slightly more so than a common one.

The War Prince’s carriage was another matter, covered on all sides with expensive and exquisite silk and the bejeweled window frames obscured by a curtain of dark, pleated silk. Through the light breeze, one could catch glimpses of the glowing Luminous Pearls within.

“Mistress, stop looking. Our carriage is over there,” pointed Zhu Hua to a carriage, which appeared exceedingly plain next to the luxurious one.

Situ Qinger withdrew her gaze and turned toward the carriage.

“Where does the Second Miss plan to go? Would you like this Prince to offer you a ride?” came a voice.

Situ Qinger’s body stiffened instantly. She slowly turned around and curtsied, “Prince, I wish you endless peace and security!”

“Where are you heading to, Second Miss? Would you like this Prince to offer you a ride?”

“I wouldn’t dare to trouble the Prince,” Qinger replied.

“Why be so polite? After all, you will soon be a part of the War Prince’s Mansion. Your affairs are our affairs,” said Long Yi, who stood behind Long Rui loudly.

Hearing this, Situ Qinger’s face turned even paler as she bowed her head to mask the anxiety in her heart, “Qinger is just going out to purchase some items for ladies. There’s really no need to trouble the Prince.”

“In that case, I won’t insist,” and with that, he turned to take his leave from Situ Yongjie, who had come out to see him off, saying, “General Situ, I’ll take my leave.”

“Prince, travel safely.”

Long Rui boarded his carriage, and his entourage majestically departed the General’s Mansion.

Situ Yongjie watched them leave, then turned to Situ Qinger, “Qinger, where are you going?”

“What? Does father now care about what Qinger does?”

“What kind of talk is that? You are my daughter; if I don’t care about you, who should I care about?”

“Qinger thought after having the elder sister, father had forgotten about us, the younger siblings.”

“Don’t think nonsense; that’s not the case.”

“Then, will father be willing to persuade the Prince to take back his word?” Situ Qinger’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“What do you mean?” Situ Yongjie looked bewildered.

Enraged, Situ Qinger turned and walked away, saying, “I knew father didn’t love Qinger!”

“Qinger, your father is old and sometimes forgetful. Why don’t you remind me?”

“Forget it, you should go back and rest.” As soon as her words fell, the carriage curtain was drawn, and she paid Situ Yongjie no further attention.

“Hey! You girl, why is your temper getting worse and worse!” Watching Situ Qinger climb into the carriage and drive away, Situ Yongjie shook his head helplessly.
