Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 418 Aren’t You Two Afraid of the Prince Finding Out?
Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Aren’t You Two Afraid of the Prince Finding Out?
Xue Lingling was startled. When she saw who it was, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Huang Gun, you scared me to death!"
Huang Gun was someone who loved to meddle. The Ministry of Industry was not far from the Regent Prince Mansion. After finishing his work, he thought about the "affair" between Vermilion Bird and Xue Lingling last night and still believed the two shouldn’t do that.
So, he took a moment to come over to give a reminder to either Vermilion Bird or Xue Lingling.
Huang Gun looked at Xue Lingling seriously and said, "I know about the thing between you and Vermilion Bird. Are you two still together now?"
Xue Lingling sincerely replied, "We were just together a moment ago."
Huang Gun’s face twitched, "Aren’t you afraid the Prince will find out?"
Xue Lingling thought for a moment about how she and Vermilion Bird were protecting the Princess and said with a smile, "Let the Prince find out if he wants to."
"Like a dead pig not fearing scalding water!" Huang Gun thought: Xue Lingling was just cute; Vermilion Bird must have deliberately seduced her.
"Dead pigs don’t taste good; this is for you!" Xue Lingling handed a candied hawthorn to Huang Gun.
Huang Gun took the candied hawthorn, bit into it, and forgot why he came, praising, "Ah, sweet and sour, delicious!"
Xue Lingling watched as Huang Gun ate the candied hawthorn that was originally hers. She looked at the vendor who had already walked away and thought: Maybe I won’t give the remaining two to Vermilion Bird; I’ll share with the Princess.
However, Vermilion Bird was quite good to her. Xue Lingling looked at the candied hawthorn in Huang Gun’s hand and swallowed her saliva.
Forget it; better give it to Vermilion Bird!
Huang Gun couldn’t have imagined that in the time it took to eat one candied hawthorn, Xue Lingling’s heart was full of conflict and struggle.
He looked at Xue Lingling and advised earnestly, "You, a girl, should restrain yourself a bit. Your Princess sister treats you well. Why don’t you sort things out with Vermilion Bird Commander..."
"How do you know I was going to give it to Vermilion Bird?" Xue Lingling exclaimed with the candied hawthorn in hand. Huang Gun even knew what she was thinking.
Huang Gun finally felt relieved that as long as Vermilion Bird did not mind Xue Lingling having been with Mu Yan before, everything was fine.
He shouted in his heart: This noble mansion is really chaotic!
Huang Gun scratched his head, ready to leave, when suddenly a man grabbed Xue Lingling’s wrist and pulled her into his arms. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Huang Gun was so shocked his mouth could fit a whole egg.
He looked at the man who pulled Xue Lingling into his arms, who was extraordinarily handsome.
However, the man’s eyes seemed to hold murderous intent when looking at him.
Huang Gun swallowed his saliva, thinking: Could this man also be Xue Lingling’s love interest, mistaking him for a rival?
Ah... Xue Lingling, you really are swinging wildly like an old lady on a swing!
Huang Gun wanted to stay away from this place of trouble until Xue Lingling exclaimed, "Brother!"
Brother!
Huang Gun halted his steps. The man let go of Xue Lingling, checked her for injuries, and said with a gloomy face, "Ling’er, I’ve finally found you. Father said to bring you back home!"
Xue Lingling looked at her brother, Xue Yifeng, in horror, "I’m not going back, I don’t want to get married!"
Xue Yifeng’s eyes darkened with anger, "Xue Lingling, brother will only say this once — come back with me!"
Xue Lingling trembled all over, extremely afraid of her brother. Her brother was fierce, always harsh with her.
Compared to her father, she was even more afraid of this cold-faced brother.
Huang Gun finally understood their relationship. He chuckled and said, "So you are Xue Lingling’s brother, indeed with the air of someone with a dragon’s breath!"
Xue Yifeng glared coldly at Huang Gun, while Xue Lingling quickly stood in front of Huang Gun, saying, "Brother, he is my friend, you cannot harm him!"
Huang Gun’s lips twitched; it seemed this man with a cold face was not easy to get along with!
He snorted internally, having encountered tough people before!
Just look at the Regent King, reigning over everyone, not colder and more ruthless than this man.
Didn’t the Regent King fall for his charisma?
This minor scene is easily managed!
Huang Gun coughed and said, "I am the Minister of Public Works, the first friend Miss Xue Lingling made when she came to Ding’an City!"
"Yes, Brother Huang Gun is a big official, he even treated me to lots of delicious foods and played with me!"
Xue Yifeng relaxed a little and said to Huang Gun, "Thank you. Whatever my sister spent, I’ll repay double."
Huang Gun waved his hand and said, "I’m not that kind of person."
Then, he extended a finger and said, "Just one hundred taels of silver!"
Xue Yifeng immediately took out a silver note for five hundred taels from his chest to hand to Huang Gun.
Huang Gun waved his hand dashingly and said, "No need, I’m not short of money!"
Xue Yifeng’s hand froze in mid-air, and Xue Lingling immediately took the silver note and stuffed it into her bosom.
Huang Gun awkwardly smiled; he had just been putting on airs and lost five hundred taels of silver.
"Brother, did you come to the Prince Mansion last night? The Prince and Princess are good people. Thanks to them for taking me in. You can’t hurt them!" Xue Lingling said with her hands on her hips.
Xue Yifeng felt a bit of regret. He had gone crazy looking for his sister, desperately grasping at straws.
Yesterday, he made a deal with a stranger who claimed to know where his sister was.
The terms of the deal were: just kidnap a female demon.
So, he pretended to shoot two arrows to expose his position, was captured by Hidden Guards, and poisoned, not expecting the other side to have an antidote.
Moreover, that woman used poison to knock him out, a poison he found familiar, which made him suspect his sister might be in the Regent Prince Mansion since last night.
Unexpectedly, he saw her on arriving this morning.
Vermilion Bird stood at the entrance of the mansion, looking at the trio from a distance, and coughed once.
Huang Gun immediately said with the demeanor of a host, "We are all family, come inside the mansion for a detailed conversation."
Xue Lingling grabbed Xue Yifeng’s wrist, saying, "Brother, let’s talk inside."
The four of them entered the Prince Mansion together, and Zhan Lan met Xue Yifeng and understood what happened.
Xiao Tao cleared away the two teacups on the table, and Liu Xi brought new teacups, pouring tea for Xue Yifeng, Xue Lingling, and Huang Gun.
Zhan Lan smiled slightly and said, "So it’s the Poisonous Insect Clan Young Master, just a misunderstanding."
Xue Yifeng’s cold and stern face looked inquisitively at Zhan Lan, with his arms crossed over his chest as he apologized to Zhan Lan, "Sorry, in these days, thanks to the Princess and the Regent King for taking care of my sister."
This Princess was indeed the famous Brave General! Prince Zhenbei!
Xue Yifeng’s heart was stirred, at the same time annoyed, the one who made a deal with him led him to the side gate of the mansion, deceiving him by saying: This woman is a merciless killer.
Zhan Lan observed Xue Yifeng, realizing that Xue Lingling indeed had a brother, and the leader of the Poisonous Insect Clan could be male or female.
This man of remarkable temperament, Xue Yifeng, was more suited to being the Clan Leader.
However, their father had protected them too well, making it easy for them to be deceived. In his eagerness to find his sister, Xue Yifeng was probably fooled by Si Jun’s people.
Poisonous Insect Clan people valued contracts because promissory contracts had to be genuine; otherwise, they would suffer curses.
But the ones sent by Si Jun didn’t care about these!
People grow from suffering losses, and Zhan Lan wouldn’t mock him.
Fortunately, now the truth was clear. She looked at Xue Yifeng, who was also eyeing her. This man wasn’t as easy to deal with as Xue Lingling!
If she could gain the trust of these siblings, it would certainly be beneficial for her.
Zhan Lan looked at Xue Yifeng and said, "Young Master, this Princess has an impertinent request."
