Long Rui frowned, "Really?"
Gu Lingqiao playfully replied, "Of course it's true, does Brother Rui not believe Lingling?"
At this moment, the steward returned after sending off the shopkeeper.
Long Rui's face darkened as he said, "Steward, do you realize your mistake?"
The sudden question from the Prince startled the steward. He had no idea what had happened, and being scolded by the Prince made his legs weak. He immediately knelt down with a thud, "Forgive me, Your Highness, it is a crime punishable by death."
"Oh, you know what you did wrong?" The steward indeed had a guilty conscience, and Lingling hadn't wronged him. Long Rui looked at him with some anger.
The steward, kneeling, just kept bowing his head, not hearing what the Prince said at all.
Long Rui: "Miss Gu is a guest. As the steward, you should have ensured she was well entertained on my behalf. The dishes weren't even cooked, how could you let her eat them!"
