Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1929: Prime Minister’s Wife

The entire Prime Minister’s residence was smashed by Long Rui’s men. Except for the intact roof, the place was in complete disarray.

As for Long Rui’s actions, the common people were not surprised at all. In fact, they considered it perfectly natural.

Indeed, Long Rui’s style has always been swift and decisive. If others do not offend him, then all is well; otherwise, vengeance is certain. This has always been the way of the War Prince. In the court, no one dares to provoke him.

It seems that this time, even if the Prime Minister doesn’t die, he’ll still shed a layer of skin. Luckily, he just entered the palace; otherwise, he would definitely have been beaten by the War Prince today.

The sudden turn of events scared the women in the residence half to death, and they huddled together, trembling.

Relying on her daughter being the current Empress, the Prime Minister’s Wife had a bit of an imposing presence. Supported by two maids, she walked steadily to the War Prince, first offering a bow: "This old woman greets the Prince."

Long Rui glanced at her without a word, his expression cold and arrogant, showing some disdain.

"Prince, if I may be so bold, your actions today seem rather inappropriate, don’t they?" The Prime Minister’s residence had been turned into a mess by Long Rui, and the Prime Minister’s Wife was very upset, but due to fear of his power, she dared not express her anger.

Long Rui snorted coldly and said, "Madam, perhaps you should ask the Prime Minister what good deeds he has done before judging me."

"Even if something has happened, shouldn’t we sit down and talk it through instead of making such a fuss?" The Prime Minister’s residence had been left in such a state by Long Rui that it probably couldn’t be lived in for a while. The Prime Minister’s Wife felt stifled with anger.

"Making a fuss?"

Long Rui chuckled coldly, "Let me tell you, Madam, today was just a warm-up. If the Prime Minister dares to provoke the War Prince’s Mansion, he must be prepared to bear the consequences."

"We are all officials in the court, Prince, must you be so aggressive?" Although she kept lowering her stance, the other party was relentless, and the Prime Minister’s Wife’s anger surged, her voice unconsciously getting louder and somewhat threatening: "Prince, don’t forget, this is the Empress’s family home. As a minister, you are overstepping your bounds."

Upon hearing this, Long Rui turned his head, his sharp eyes finally facing the Prime Minister’s Wife, and said in a cold voice, "What bold words, Madam. How dare a mere Prime Minister’s residence claim to be a monarch’s minister?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The Prime Minister’s Wife was taken aback, then hurriedly said in panic, "I didn’t say that. I was merely saying that the Prime Minister’s residence is the Empress’s family home, and it’s inappropriate for you to bully your way in, as it implies bullying Empress Ling."

"The Empress is the Empress, and the Prime Minister’s residence is the Prime Minister’s residence. Don’t blame everything on the Empress." Long Rui chuckled coldly, "Moreover, what Madam said could easily be misunderstood; speaking of monarch’s ministers, to an uninformed person, one might think Madam is the Empress Dowager!"

"You... you..."

Long Rui’s twisting of her meaning left the Prime Minister’s Wife trembling with rage. Everyone knew that the current Emperor was extremely suspicious, and if he heard these words, it might affect his perception of the Prime Minister in future.

The guards came out one after another to report to Long Rui on the results of the damages they caused.

Long Rui glanced up at the Prime Minister’s residence. From the outside, except for the messy entrance, it was still so opulent, a sight that was truly an eyesore.

Using his martial power, he raised his arm and waved it towards the direction of the roof...

"Whoosh...!"

A gust of wind swept through, making it hard for the people nearby to keep their eyes open. Then, a clatter of sounds followed.

When the wind subsided, everyone opened their eyes to see the roof of the Prime Minister’s residence left bare, the roof tiles having been swept away by the wind.
