Chapter 1054: Chapter 1054: Damaged the Harmony
Xuexue thought about it and it was true. Old Lady Mo was soone the Tang family had specifically brought in from the Mo Family Village to deal with her, so of course their als would be taken care of behind the scenes.
“Oh! Xuexue is here! Co on, hurry over and have so snacks. I’m telling you, these snacks are delicious. When we were in the Mo Family Village, we never even saw such things. Co on over and try them.”
As soon as Madam Ruan looked up and saw Xuexue walking in, she hurriedly went up to her with a smiling face and pulled her to sit down at the table.
“Mother, what are you pulling her for? She’s now the young miss of the family, isn’t she? She wouldn’t be interested in our humble food,” said Mo Xiuzhi sarcastically from the side.
Xuexue sat down on a stool, turned her head, looked at her, and said, “Mo Xiuzhi, you don’t need to be sarcastic. Don’t forget that you’re now living in the General’s Mansion, and everything you eat and use belongs to the General’s Mansion.”
Mo Xiuzhi actually dared to set her sights on her father. She would see how she would deal with her.
When Old Lady Mo heard this, she felt displeased. These were the items she had bartered for with Auntie Tang. How could they beco the General’s Mansion’s property?
“Although we live in the General’s Mansion, these foods are certainly not from the General’s Mansion. You’d better understand that,” said Old Lady Mo with a malicious look in her sharp, narrow eyes.
Xuexue laughed, “Old Madam Mo, what you’re saying is really funny. If all you eat and drink is in the General’s Mansion, how can it be unrelated to the General’s Mansion?”
“My my! Look at you, Situtu Xueer. You’ve only gotten to know your real father for a few days, and now you don’t even call your grandmother!” Madam Ruan could not reveal her connection with Auntie Tang, and Old Lady Mo cleverly changed the subject.
“There’s already an official Old Madam in the General’s Mansion. Does Old Madam Mo wish to replace her?” Xuexue’s words were laden with opportunism.
Old Madam represents an authority within the General’s Mansion. No matter what Old Lady Mo said, she was just a country woman, and she dare not provoke her.
Besides, Old Madam has always disliked people from the Mo family, feeling that these country folks living in the General’s Mansion were simply bringing down their own status.
However, considering that Xuexue had drifted among the common folk since childhood and had grown up in their ho, if they were to bluntly eject them from the mansion, they feared being gossiped about. Therefore, they had let them stay till now.
Every ti they faced Old Madam, the eting ended on a sour note. Old Lady Mo was naturally aware of her own situation, so when Xuexue said this, she imdiately deflated.
“What nonsense are you spouting? What’s the status of Old Madam and what’s ours? How could this old woman replace her?”
“Good that you’re aware of your place,” Xuexue sneered mockingly, thinking this old hag wouldn’t dare to openly oppose Old Madam.
“Ahaha…! What are you grandmother and granddaughter doing? No matter what, we are all family. Don’t ruin the harmony,” Madam Ruan smiled as she tried to smooth things over.
Indeed, Xuexue was now the Eldest Legitimate Daughter of the General’s Mansion. Their trip to the Capital had a purpose – it was to find a good future for her son. Offending Xuexue would certainly do them no good, and Madam Ruan understood this very well.
As for Madam Ruan’s flattery, Mo Xiuzhi was utterly dismissive.
“Mother, don’t waste your energy. We consider them family, but they don’t see us as family at all!”
“Slap!”
Suddenly, Xuexue slapped the table forcefully.
Everyone was startled and turned to look at her, not understanding why she was angry.
After being stunned for a mont, Mo Xiuzhi was not to be outdone and shouted loudly, “What are you doing? Trying to scare people to death?!”
Xuexue smiled coldly, “You’re so bold, could you be scared to death?”
Mo Xiuzhi: “Humph!”
Seeing that the two sisters were about to start quarreling again, Madam Ruan quickly stepped forward to play the peacemaker, “Oh my! What are you two sisters quarreling about? It’s one thing to argue back in Mo Family Village, but this is the Capital, you can’t argue here, otherwise, it will beco a laughing stock.”
