Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 618

Mei Shanqi comforted the Third Prince for a few words and then left, leaving the Third Prince sitting there dejectedly.

Even this brief moment of solitary despondency didn't last long. Soon after, his servants came in to see what was going on and urged him to hurry back to the Third Prince's residence after he finished talking, as he had a lot of homework to do.

After leaving the restaurant, the Third Prince stopped by the bridge railing, looking down at the dark river below. He even had the urge to jump in.

What's the point of him living like this?

A walking corpse, nothing more than a puppet on a string.

But in the end, he still didn't have the courage to commit suicide.

Besides, even if he jumped from here, he certainly wouldn't die; the servants would rescue him in time. When Consort Xing finds out, he'll face her hysterical rebuke, crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

The servants behind him, seeing that he had been standing by the railing for a long time, started urging him on again.

The Third Prince's lips twitched slightly involuntarily, his smile laced with utter irony and sorrow.

How tragic he was.

My life has been like a joke that's not funny at all.

Upon arriving at the Third Prince's residence, the Third Prince went to his study and read articles for a long time until the middle of the night, when he finally returned to his room, exhausted.

Upon entering, he immediately saw that there was already someone inside, clearly waiting for him.

The Third Prince was startled again.

That person was actually Huo Jinghuai!

The Third Prince was extremely shocked, but instinctively he didn't shout out; instead, he lowered his voice.

"Seventh Brother? What are you doing here?"

The Third Prince and "Huo Jinghuai" didn't have much direct interaction and didn't usually deal with each other. Although the two were theoretically on opposing sides, he didn't feel any panic or fear when he saw "Huo Jinghuai" suddenly appear in his room.

Perhaps it was because, subconsciously, he wished that "Huo Jinghuai" would assassinate him, so that he wouldn't have to live such a miserable and torturous life anymore.

Mo Zhonggui smiled.

"Third Brother, I heard that Elder Meishanqi wants to take you as his disciple?"

The Third Prince was only surprised for a moment before he realized that Huo Jinghuai was a man of few words and must have his own informants, and that these informants were very well-informed.

He had just met Mei Shanqi that evening, and then "Huo Jinghuai" came to see him. He even entered his room quietly, and no one in the Third Prince's mansion was disturbed.

His seventh brother was even more formidable than Consort Xing and the others had imagined.

However, the Third Prince showed no sign of fear. In any case, he had no intention of fighting with "Huo Jinghuai" in the first place.

The third prince readily admitted, "Yes, I also want to become his disciple, but I can't."

He looked at "Huo Jinghuai" with a puzzled expression.
