Chapter 704: Chapter 704 Nobles Often Forget (Thanks to the Black Rabbit for the monthly ticket) Chapter 704: Chapter 704 Nobles Often Forget (Thanks to the Black Rabbit for the monthly ticket) “Prince, she is my eldest daughter whom I have just found,” said Situ Yongjie, his heart filled with gratitude towards Long Rui; it was through his portrait that he learned his deceased wife had left behind a daughter for him.
“Of course, I recognize your esteemed daughter. Has the General forgotten? It was I who gave you the portrait of the young lady that enabled you to find her,” War Prince Long Rui’s voice was full of laughter.
“Right, right, I forgot in my excitement. Our reunion as father and daughter is all thanks to the Prince’s help,” Situ Yongjie spoke with a tone brimming with gratitude.
“I am fated with your esteemed daughter, General, so you needn’t be polite.”
Only then did Situ Yongjie remember that the War Prince had confidently declared that he and Xuexue were intimate friends. At the moment, he felt a bit nervous–known for his romantic exploits, could it be that the War Prince had already deceived the naive Xuexue?
However, on second thoughts, remembering that Xuexue had been in Mo Family Village, far away, and the War Prince had been in the Capital, even if they had had any interaction, it could only have been a brief acquaintance; this slightly relaxed his mind.
“Your servant is very curious, how did the Prince, held in such high esteem, come to know my young daughter?”
“Ha ha ha, it’s a matter from long ago, even I have forgotten,” War Prince Long Rui laughed heartily and declined to elaborate.
With Long Rui unwilling to reveal more, Situ Yongjie did not feel it was right to pry further.
Xuexue listened with a baffled expression. The Prince had just stated they knew each other, but in her memory, in her past life at this time, she hadn’t even seen the War Prince’s face, let alone known him.
“Prince, do we know each other?” Xuexue stared intently at him, hoping to discern some kind of secret, but aside from an icy mask, she could see no expression on his face.
“The young lady truly is a noble who forgets things easily. Back then, we got along very well, how could you forget so quickly? I am quite heartbroken,” although Long Rui said he was heartbroken, his tone still carried a hint of amusement.
Xuexue was exasperated. In her previous life, she had been a well-behaved girl in Mo Family Village. Before her rebirth, her life was limited to the village and she had never met any strange men. After her rebirth, the only man she knew was Big Bull.
Could it be that he is Big Bull?
That thought flashed through her mind briefly before Xuexue shook her head in denial, thinking it impossible–if he were truly Big Bull, he would have recognized her by now and would not be teasing her here!
“Prince, please conduct yourself with dignity. Although Xuexue has been lost since childhood, she was well taught by her foster mother and understands the propriety between men and women. How could I be acquainted with the Prince and not be aware of it? Surely the Prince has mistaken me for that lady, who perhaps bears a strong resemblance to Xuexue.”
Long Rui’s voice remained amused and indeterminate as he said, “Perhaps.”
Long Yi, standing behind him and accustomed to the Prince’s cold demeanor, got goosebumps all over, wondering if this was really their master, who seemed somewhat off every time he encountered Miss Xuexue.
General Situ said to Long Rui with a smile, “Prince, the food is getting cold. Let’s eat first and then continue.”
Long Rui nodded, “Good! Let’s start the feast.”
At the table, aside from Xuexue and Situ Yongjie, sat Lady Tang’s four children.
The usually haughty and gentle-appearing Situtu Qinger, now looked wilted, sitting at the end of the table, head down, without uttering a word.
Xuexue understood her thoughts.
In her past life, Situtu Qinger was proud and lofty, yearning to meet the Children of Royalty, hoping one day to marry into the Royal Family.
Despite the War Prince’s high and mighty status in Moli Country, it couldn’t change the rumors of his disfigurement; it was said that when the War Prince was without his mask, he frightened several maids in his house to death.
