Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1916: Preparing for a Rainy Day

Long Yi has really caused a big scandal this time, shouting in the street that the Prince likes men, causing a storm all over the city, everyone knows about it, and the Prince is nearly beside himself with anger. Not only did he punish Long Yi by making him shovel dung, but he also demanded that he bury the dung at the tree roots and in the flower beds, saying it’s to be used as plant fertilizer. Long Yi wasn’t allowed to waste any, and the entire Back Garden’s flowers and trees needed tidying up.

Long Rui hurried off to the military camp, but before leaving, he specially arranged for someone to keep an eye on Long Yi, ensuring he does the work himself and doesn’t delegate to others. If caught, there would be no mercy.

The Prince had never spoken such harsh words to him before, and Long Yi was quite startled. So, even though the smell was terrible, he dutifully got to work.

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi."

Just at that moment, Zi Xia came running over. She had just had a stroll outside with the eldest young lady and had returned to the manor, when she heard about this major news and rushed over to find Long Yi.

"Little Xia, you’ve come back?" Long Yi, covered in stinking sweat, dirty and smelly, felt a bit embarrassed when he saw the woman he loved running over. With muddy hands, he quickly wiped them on his pants.

"I heard the Prince punished you. What’s going on?" Zi Xia hadn’t yet heard about what happened on the street.

"N-n-nothing."

At this moment, Long Yi felt deeply regretful. Even if the Prince did like men, he shouldn’t have shouted about it on the street, harming the Prince’s reputation.

"I don’t believe it. If it was nothing, why would the Prince be so angry and make you do this work?"

Pressed by Zi Xia, Long Yi had no choice but to tell the entire story.

Getting close to Long Yi, a terrible stink almost knocked her over. Zi Xia quickly pinched her nose, speaking with a strong nasal sound: "You’re a pig-brain! How could you shout such things on the street? No wonder the Prince is so angry, you’re really a pig-headed fool."

"Little Xia, don’t say anymore, I’m already regretting it to death." Long Yi, feeling guilty, was also afraid the Prince might ignore him in the future.

"I also only found out about the Prince liking men this morning. Brother Yi, when did you discover it?" Suddenly, Zi Xia mysteriously leaned closer and asked Long Yi.

Long Yi felt a bit embarrassed, looking around, he said: "Actually, I’ve suspected something was wrong for a long time, I just didn’t dare to say it."

"Got it, got it."

Zi Xia nodded, showing she understood. Given the Prince’s noble status, Long Yi, just a guard, couldn’t easily talk about it even if he knew.

Long Yi countered with a question: "Little Xia, how did you find out?"

"The eldest young lady told me."

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Long Yi felt even more certain the Prince was a cut-sleeve, a man with a fondness for boys. Even the Madam said so, it surely wasn’t false.

"Poor Madam Situ."

"Yes, our eldest young lady is truly remarkable, not only tolerating the Prince having so many women but also putting up with the Prince liking men. If it were me, I wouldn’t stand it."

As Zi Xia’s words fell, Long Yi declared determinedly: "Little Xia, don’t worry, I’ve already told the Prince that I’ll only love you in this lifetime, I will never succumb to the Prince."

"What’s wrong, did the Prince force you?"

As if hearing big news, Zi Xia’s eyes widened. Incredible! If this was true, wouldn’t the eldest young lady and Long Yi treat each other as sisters in the future?

Long Yi with the Prince, then... then what about her?

Long Yi shook his head: "No?"

Zi Xia looked astonished and said: "Since the Prince didn’t force you, why did you say that to him?"

"I... I’m planning ahead."

"You sure it’s planning ahead? I think you’re just dumb, dumb as a post."
