Chapter 2553: Warfare
Xuexue sneered coldly in her heart. The Third Prince said so much, isn’t it just to make Situ Yongjie recognize Situ Dieer as his daughter?
How naive. She went to such lengths to get Situ Dieer out of the General’s Mansion, and now they want her to go back? Does that seem possible?
Xuexue calmly said, "Third Prince, you should go find my father for this matter. Whether my third sister can return, he has the most say. As a married-out daughter, I’m afraid I don’t have such authority."
The Third Prince and Situ Dieer’s faces were somewhat unpleasant. They had long gone to Situ Yongjie, but since he refused, they came to Xuexue, hoping to use the status of Princess Consort of War Prince to pressure Situ Yongjie, so that the three siblings could return to stay.
Third Prince: "Princess Consort of War Prince is too modest. The business of the General’s Mansion is still under your control, your words, the General will surely listen to."
Situ Dieer also lowered her head, pitifully saying, "Big sister, please, help Dieer! Once the Third Prince returns from the war, he will send a matchmaker with a betrothal gift to marry Dieer to the Third Prince’s Mansion. Dieer won’t stay in the General’s Mansion for long."
Xuexue finally understood why Situ Dieer kept coming so humbly to beg her.
It turns out it’s for a legitimate identity, to marry into the Third Prince’s Mansion.
Otherwise, with her commoner status, it’s fundamentally impossible to match with the Third Prince.
Not to mention, she is a person with an unknown father.
She desperately needs Situ Yongjie as a father to fulfill her wish.
Xuexue still held firm: "Third sister, big sister really can’t help you, you better go find our father."
The Third Prince’s expression suddenly changed, and his voice carried a threat, "Princess Consort of War Prince, I have humbled myself to beg you, don’t refuse and be disrespectful."
Beside him, an eunuch also echoed with a sinister tone, "Princess Consort, it was hard for the Third Prince to lower himself, you better hurry up and agree, don’t be ignorant of what’s good for you."
Xuexue’s face darkened: "Third Prince, what do you mean by this?"
Standing on her shoulder, Xiao Jiu chirped loudly: "Fool, fool, they’re using their status to pressure you!"
"Go, get away!" Xuexue irritably tapped its bird head.
Fluttering its wings, Xiao Jiu flew to the beam on the roof, calling out, "Loyal advice grates the ear, loyal advice grates the ear."
Third Prince: "Princess Consort of War Prince, you should reconsider."
Xuexue spread her hands, saying, "The household matters of the General’s Mansion, I really can’t manage them as a Princess Consort."
The Third Prince’s eyes suddenly widened, as he stood up, somewhat ferociously shouting at Xuexue, "Little cheap person, don’t think you can do as you please just because you have the War Prince protecting you. If I and Second Imperial Brother win this battle, Moli Country won’t have anything to do with the War Prince anymore. An outsider Prince, what arrogance?"
Xuexue also became angry, slammed the table, and stood up: "Third Prince, you will be responsible for what you said today."
The Third Prince wasn’t willing to back down: "Moli Country is the Zhang family’s dynasty, what foreign Prince, it’s all given by our imperial father. You’re not grateful, and still so arrogant, riding above our Imperial Family, sooner or later I’ll kill you all."
Xuexue laughed coldly: "Third Prince, don’t forget, all these years, who fought tirelessly to protect Moli Country. How about this, now that your empire is stable, you want to kill the donkey after it’s done kicking the millstone?"
The mention of this made the Third Prince even angrier: "After a few battles, you think you’re gods, what’s the big deal. This time with Wei Country intruding, even without the War Prince, we can still defeat them where they won’t dare to return."
