Chapter 2137: Chapter 2137: Not the Eighth Prince?

But his identity was not something he could acknowledge; he could only feign ignorance.

"Your Highness, what... what are you saying? This old servant didn’t catch your meaning." He raised his head, smiling naively.

"Didn’t understand?"

Prince Niu put down the book in his hands, raising his head to look earnestly at the steward.

"Old Luo, I remember, it was many years ago, I saved you from a group of bandits, wasn’t it?"

he asked.

"Yes, yes."

Steward Luo nodded in response.

"Ah."

Prince Niu made a light clicking sound with his tongue, then raised his hand, pointing in his direction as he continued speaking.

"That... that... If my memory serves me right, at that time... Eighth Brother was also beside me, it was he who flung the bandit’s knife away with his sword, saving you, right?"

"Yes, yes."

Steward Luo could only nod, his forehead already covered with dense beads of sweat.

Prince Niu wasn’t one to remember such trifles, so why did he remember so clearly about his origins now?

"Your Highness, you..."

"How come you didn’t follow your true savior but followed me to Prince Niu’s Mansion instead? This is really strange."

Just as he was about to speak, Prince Niu interrupted him; lifting his head, he saw Prince Niu staring at him with a puzzled look, scaring him so much that he almost fell to the ground, limp-legged.

"Eighth Prince... Your Highness, Eighth Prince could never compare to your kindness. He..."

"Indeed, I am kind, which makes others think that I am easy to bully, don’t they?" Prince Niu interrupted Steward Luo again, saying.

Hearing these words, Steward Luo silently swallowed his saliva, wondering in his heart if perhaps Prince Niu suspected that he too was sent by Eighth Prince to spy on Prince Niu’s Mansion?

So, now that all the ill-intentioned servants had been removed from Prince Niu’s Mansion, did Prince Niu want to get rid of him too?

If that was really the case, that would be a relief, he sighed quietly in his heart.

"Your Highness, I beg your pardon."

The next moment, he knelt before Prince Niu.

"This old servant had no choice, Eighth Prince captured my family and forced this old servant to reveal Your Highness’ news to him. I am guilty, please Your Highness, considering the old servant has done quite a few things for Prince Niu’s Mansion, spare this old servant this time."

"Ha."

Listening to his words, Prince Niu couldn’t help but laugh snidely.

"Really won’t shed tears until seeing the coffin."

Even at this stage, still thinking about getting his forgiveness, was he treating him, Prince Niu, like a faker?

"Old Luo, do you really have regard for Eighth Brother? Hmm?"

he asked.

"This..."

Steward Luo was taken aback, suddenly lifting his head to look at Prince Niu.

He actually knew his master wasn’t Eighth Prince? What else did he know, could he already know the person behind him was...

But if Prince Niu really knew, would he dare to confront him so openly?

"Your Highness, what are you talking about, this old servant..."

His eyes darting around, he took the opportunity to speak while Prince Niu was listening, and his body moved, rushing out of the study.

"He really is of a fiery sort."

Prince Niu watched his fleeing figure, chuckling lightly, and the next moment, a shadow fell onto the floor in front of him.

"Ahh!"

Steward Luo sprawled out in every direction, gasping for breath while clutching his chest as he came back to his senses.
