Chapter 905: Chapter 905 Chewing the Root of the Tongue

Just at this moment, the Fourth Prince walked in with Situtu Qinger from outside.

The Fourth Prince had taken her to enjoy the flowers in the garden, and she was in high spirits! It was indeed a good day for her. Not only was her tarnished reputation cleansed, but she also won the favor of the Fourth Prince.

This place was the Empress’s side courtyard. The garden was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, many varieties, all very precious, and unseen in ordinary places.

Thus, Situtu Qinger was particularly delighted and enjoyed herself thoroughly.

"Eldest sister, where have you been? You made your little sister search for you everywhere. This is the Royal Villa, not like the countryside where you used to live, where you could wander around freely." Situtu Qinger came forward with the pretense of a loving sister, took a hold of Xuexue’s arm, and spoke earnestly.

Within Situtu Qinger’s seemingly caring words, a hidden scheme was lurking.

She was implying to everyone that despite Situtu Xuexue now being the legitimate eldest Miss of General’s Mansion, she was nothing more than a lowly country girl before.

Xuexue subtly pushed her hand away and with a smile brimming on her face, she said, "As the eldest legitimate daughter of General’s Mansion, I am naturally aware of the decorum. Just now, the War Prince invited me to discuss selecting an auspicious day to welcome my younger sister to War Prince’s Mansion."

Hearing this, Situtu Qinger turned pale. Wasn’t the matter between her and the War Prince already concluded? Why was it being brought up again?

She glanced at Fourth Prince next to her and quickly denied it: "Eldest sister shouldn’t spout nonsense. There is nothing between Qinger and the War Prince."

"Whether or not you have a relationship, I am not clear about that, but the War Prince indeed said so just now." Xuexue believed the War prince had already left, after all, there are no witnesses to prove it wrong, and she lied without batting an eyelid, her expression was very calm.

Earlier in the eastern grove, she had a brief conversation with the War Prince; then, a guard hurried over, said something unknown to the War Prince, and he quickly left.

Therefore, Xuexue dared to leverage the War Prince’s name to intimidate Situtu Qinger.

"Fourth Prince, do believe me, there really is nothing between me and the War Prince. Last time, it was Fourth Prince who saved Qinger, and I’ve always been grateful for your life-saving grace." Fearing a misunderstanding, Situtu Qinger hurriedly explained.

Even if the War Prince had an interest in Situtu Qinger, the Fourth Prince believed that he wanted to ally with General Situ’s Mansion. Though he didn’t understand why the War Prince would forsake Situtu Xuexue, the eldest legitimate daughter, in favor of Qinger, the concubine-born daughter, such an occurrence was something he absolutely wouldn’t allow. Thus, he immediately smiled and said, "Qinger, rest assured, I believe you."

"The Fourth Prince is so good to Qinger!" Situtu Qinger sneakily glanced at Xuexue while the Fourth Prince wasn’t paying attention, as if to say that the Fourth Prince loved her, and no matter how Xuexue tried to sow discord, it wouldn’t shake her status in his heart, hmph!

Regarding this pair’s public display of affection, Xuexue expressed indifference.

She intentionally said this to make Situtu Qinger uncomfortable. After all, her goal had been achieved. Whether the cad of a Fourth Prince believed it or not, it had nothing to do with her.

With the Fourth Prince present and treating Situtu Qinger so well, everyone was no fool; despite many questions in their hearts, they dared not discuss further, as the Royal Family was their limit, absolutely untouchable.

Even Miss Qian stopped talking.

Indeed, as part of the Ministerial Mansion relying on imperial provisions, she naturally did not dare to offend the Fourth Prince. Moreover, The Emperor was notoriously protective and held sway within the court. They were afraid that if the Fourth Prince whispered into The Emperor’s ear, the Ministerial Mansion would suffer the consequences.

As the sky gradually darkened, the Fourth Prince decided to stay overnight in Suxin Garden. He specially dispatched a guard to ride back to town on a fast horse, reporting this impromptu decision to the mansions of those who participated in today’s autumn outing, so their parents wouldn’t worry.
