Chapter 834: Chapter 834 Fourth Prince Visits Personally
General’s Mansion, Qingyuo Pavilion.
“Miss, we have done so much this time, but it seems that Prince Pu hasn’t suffered any losses.” Zi Xia stood behind Xuexue, a puzzled expression on her face.
“It’s okay, everything must be done gradually, you can’t become fat in one bite.” This outcome was also expected by Xuexue.
“Miss, knowing this outcome, why did you still go to such lengths?”
“On the surface, Prince Pu’s Mansion doesn’t seem to have lost anything, but everyone in the Capital is talking about him. Although there is no evidence that he killed Zhang San, even a fool would realize that he cannot be uninvolved in this matter.”
Zi Xia suddenly realized, nodding her head, she said, “Right, this time, Prince Pu’s reputation has greatly suffered, and he probably won’t dare to act against Qinger Building for the time being.”
From the beginning, when Situ Yongjie called her to serve Xuexue, she thought Miss was just a countryside girl, but later slowly discovered that she was actually the behind-the-scenes boss of Qinger Building and couldn’t help but see her in a new light.
“After all, Prince Pu’s Mansion is deeply rooted in the Capital; removing him won’t be done in a day or two.”
“Why must Miss absolutely eliminate Prince Pu?” Zi Xia did not quite understand, as Miss now already controlled the General’s Mansion, Auntie Tang had already gone to the manor, and the Second Miss, being a Concubine-born Daughter, could no longer threaten her.
Xuexue curved her lips into a smile, her voice calm: “Zi Xia, remember this saying, ‘When cutting weeds, remove the roots.'”
“What does Miss mean…?” Zi Xia’s eyes were tightly fixed on Xuexue.
Xuexue nodded, “Prince Pu’s Mansion is Auntie Tang’s support. If Prince Pu’s Mansion falls, Auntie Tang will lose her backing, and father will deal with her without any hesitation.”
Ultimately, Situ Yongjie was still wary of Prince Pu.
Although Prince Pu does not hold real power, as the saying goes, ‘A rotten boat still has three pounds of nails’, and moreover, he can meet the Emperor whenever he wants. If he harbors thoughts of revenge, deliberately stirring trouble in front of the Emperor…
And the current Emperor is extremely suspicious of his ministers, hence, this would certainly drag the General’s Mansion into danger.
Zi Xia: “So that’s the case.”
While they were talking, Uncle Zhong hurriedly came in to report, “Miss, the Fourth Prince has arrived in person; he is currently in the hall!”
Xuexue’s eyebrows twitched. What does this scoundrel want?
“The Old Master is in the study, I have already sent someone to report to him.”
“Men and women shouldn’t be too close; let father handle it.” Before her wings are fully grown, Xuexue really doesn’t want to meet this scoundrel.
“But…” Uncle Zhong spoke hesitantly.
“The Fourth Prince specifically asked to see Miss.”
“Uncle Zhong, just find any excuse to brush him off.”
“Yes!” Since Miss did not wish to see the Fourth Prince, Uncle Zhong had no choice but to agree and left.
“Miss, the Fourth Prince is known as a handsome man in the Capital, noble-born from the Empress, and you don’t know how many noble maidens secretly adore him, hoping to be taken into his mansion one day,” spoke Zi Xia with an excited face, utterly resembling a young girl.
What’s there to secretly adore about a scoundrel? Xuexue scoffed in her heart.
In her previous life, she was deceived by the appearance of this scoundrel; those who haven’t experienced it wouldn’t know, when a person’s heart turns evil, it becomes much more terrifying than their appearance.
“Miss, Miss.” Seeing that Miss was absent-minded, Zi Xia called loudly.
“What are you daydreaming about?” Zi Xia paused for a moment, then suddenly, she smiled mysteriously, “Could it be, Miss also fancies the Fourth Prince?”
