Chapter 2611: Tension

"Who?"

Zi Xia’s hand was tightly gripping the sword hilt at her waist, ready to strike at any moment.

Xuexue pressed her hand against Zi Xia’s and whispered, "Don’t be too tense, don’t forget, this is our territory."

"Mm!"

Only then did Zi Xia relax her grip and stood aside.

At this moment, footsteps outside stopped at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Five continuous knocks.

"Miss!" Zi Xia gave Xuexue an inquisitive look, as if asking whether to open the door.

"Go ahead."

"Yes!"

Zi Xia stepped forward and slowly opened the door, raising her head to look, and was extremely astonished: "Prince? Why... Why are you here too?"

It turned out that the visitors were Long Rui and Long Yi. Long Rui did not respond to Zi Xia’s question, took a big stride, and directly walked into the room.

As soon as he saw Xuexue, Long Rui tightly embraced her in his arms, "My wife, I’ve missed you."

Xuexue struggled a little, coyly saying, "Don’t do this, people are watching!"

This guy, every time he saw her, had to get lovey-dovey, regardless of how many people were around watching.

Long Rui rubbed his chin against the top of Xuexue’s head, his voice magnetically saying, "My wife, have you been well these past few days at the General’s Mansion?"

Xuexue: "Quite good, free and easy, no need to get angry at others."

Long Rui looked down at her, softly speaking, "What’s wrong? Angry again? Didn’t we agree? It’s just acting."

Xuexue pouted, unhappily saying, "What acting? You even performed the bed scene, and you dare say that."

They had agreed it was just acting, but according to Gu Lingqiao, they really did end up in bed.

Long Rui quickly explained, saying, "Do you believe what that woman says? Her identity is fake, can her words be trusted?"

"How should I know you," Xuexue’s voice was noticeably full of pique.

Long Rui: "Don’t be angry, she’s deceiving you! She just wants to drive a wedge between us, we mustn’t fall for it!"

Xuexue: "Hmph!"

Long Rui hugged her tightly again, coaxing, "My wife, don’t be mad, when we return to the mansion, you can punish me however you like, I will never complain."

"You didn’t do anything wrong, why would I punish you?"

"You being unhappy is my fault."

"Pfft!"

Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh, immediately putting on a serious face again: "Cough, cough, cough, we’ll see."

Xuexue laughed, which reassured Long Rui; if his wife truly suspected him of having an improper relationship with Gu Lingqiao, it would be terrible. Now that she laughed, it showed she didn’t have any suspicions.

Of course, the reason Xuexue forgave Long Rui quickly was because Xiao Jiu overheard Gu Lingqiao’s conversation with the old maid, revealing that it was Lin Kong who fathered the child.

Long Rui continued, "My wife, I received your message and immediately rushed over, so? Where are they?"

Xuexue feared if they spent too long, those two might slip away, so she promptly said, "On the second floor, east side, the innermost room."

Just then, Xiao Jiu suddenly shouted loudly, "They are doing shameful things inside."

Long Rui was stunned, not understanding what it was saying. So, he looked at Xuexue and asked, "My wife, what did Xiao Jiu say? What shameful things?"

Xuexue blushed, blurting out, "Your childhood sweetheart cheated with a lover."

"If my wife keeps talking nonsense, be careful I punish you." Saying this, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Xuexue, seemingly hoping she would continue.

Xuexue immediately became wary and shut her mouth.

When this guy’s temperament arises, he doesn’t care about the situation, and she would be the one embarrassed.

Long Rui laughed smugly, "My wife is so obedient, wait here for a moment, I’ll be right back."

After speaking, he turned to Long Yi and said, "Let’s go, catch the adulterers with me."
