Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Hearing the Tiger’s Roar Again

"The night is deep, and this Prince will not disturb the conversation of you two sisters any longer." Saying this, the Fourth Prince stood up: "Qinger, rest well tonight; you must hurry back to the city first thing tomorrow morning."

"Fourth Prince, take care."

"Hmm!"

After the Fourth Prince left the room, he spoke to Xuexue outside: "Eldest Daughter, Second Miss has awakened. You should go see her; this Prince won’t intrude further."

Xuexue watched the retreating figure of the Fourth Prince with a smiling gaze before turning around and entering the room.

"Second Sister is truly blessed with a strong fate; she didn’t die even from this."

Situtu Qinger, lying on the bed, trembled with anger. The scene by the lake emerged again before her eyes; her life had almost slipped away at the hands of this little cheap person: "You... you..."

"Second Sister, what is wrong with you? Did water get into your brain? You seem somewhat abnormal!"

"Well done, Situtu Xueer, so you were pretending all along, now finally revealing your wolfish ambition." Having nearly lost her life to Xueer, Situtu Qinger was infuriated with embarrassment and anger.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Eldest Sister doesn’t understand." Xueer spoke with a face full of sincerity.

"Enough, you almost killed me just now, and yet you stand before me still pretending," Situtu Qinger said angrily.

"Second Sister, what are you saying? Eldest Sister has been saving you, unless, you really have been addled by the water. No, Eldest Sister must call the Doctor over immediately to check on you again. Otherwise, once we return home, Father will surely blame me, the Eldest Sister, for not taking good care of you, Second Sister."

With that, Xueer really started walking towards the door.

"Come back, don’t you dare go," Situtu Qinger said in a panic, suddenly sitting up from the bed.

By the lake earlier, she had planned to take the opportunity to quietly get rid of Xueer when no one was around, so she could reclaim her position as the Eldest Legitimate Daughter. But as fate would have it, and one move short, she almost harmed herself.

After all, it was her own wicked intent that led to the event; Situtu Qinger didn’t want the secret to be discovered by anyone, so she quickly stopped Xueer.

"What is it? Second Sister is not making sense?" Xueer turned her head and asked with a smiling face.

"You’re ruthless!" Situtu Qinger glared fiercely at Xueer, her face filled with unwillingness yet helpless: "Don’t alarm the others, and I won’t accuse you of trying to harm me."

Xueer dropped her smile and spoke coldly, "Since Second Sister is lively and well, with no danger to her life, Eldest Sister shall take her leave."

After finishing, she didn’t wait for Situtu Qinger to react and turned to leave.

"Mother was right; this little cheap person is indeed a formidable character," she thought. She had assumed that Xueer, being a country girl with little experience and knowledge, would be easy to deal with.

But from the events of this evening, she realized that she had been arrogant and had underestimated Xueer’s strength.

The incident of Situtu Qinger falling into the lake, since it was due to her own carelessness, was thus left unresolved.

That night, as everyone slept hazily, they seemed to hear a thunderous tiger’s roar.

However, it was just a single roar, and afterward, everything returned to calm, as though nothing had happened.

But the Fourth Prince was vigilant; he immediately got out of bed and personally led the guards to search every nook and cranny of the Side Courtyard but found no trace of anything amiss.

Only then did he return to his room to rest.

They had been gone for hardly Half a Cup of Tea’s time.

Outside the garden, fierce wild animals filled the space, standing in orderly ranks as if trained.

Among them were lions, tigers, wolves, and cheetahs, their eyes filled with respect and devotion, all facing squarely towards Suxin Garden.
