"Father, please wait a mont." Situtu Qinger lifted her skirt slightly with both hands and ran after him.
"What’s the matter?"
Situ Yongjie frowned with so displeasure. Ever since Auntie Tang had her incident, his feelings towards her children had changed; they all sohow looked a bit like Doctor Wang.
"Daughter wants to go out to buy so things, but eldest sister won’t allow it."
"Father is busy. Such small matters, just let Xuexue handle them." Saying this, he continued walking towards the courtyard.
Watching Situ Yongjie’s hurried back, Situtu Qinger simply shouted loudly from where she stood, "She said father gave the order that no one is allowed to go out these days. Father, is that true?"
Situ Yongjie paused, slowly turned around, and asked in confusion, "No one is allowed to leave the mansion?"
"Yes! Can it be that father doesn’t know?" Situ Yongjie’s puzzled expression gave Situtu Qinger great delight. Her heart leapt with joy as she thought, it’s really that little cheap person Xuexue spreading rumors. She’s done for this ti.
"Father, you don’t know how overbearing eldest sister is. She frequently pretends it’s father’s orders and does as she pleases in the General’s Mansion, it’s really too much. This ti she won’t let us go out, Father, quickly teach her a lesson."
Situ Yongjie paused in thought for a mont, glancing thoughtfully at Situtu Qinger, then cleared his throat and said, "This order was indeed given by father. Recently, the Capital is not very peaceful; if there’s nothing urgent, you shouldn’t keep thinking about going out." Having said this, he turned and walked away briskly.
"Huh?"
As if a bucket of cold water was poured over her.
Situtu Qinger watched as Situ Yongjie stepped into the inner room.
She thought she could bring down Situtu Xueer, but her efforts were in vain.
"No, father, Qinger really has urgent matters outside." Situtu Qinger ca to her senses and wanted to chase after him...
But a guard following behind blocked her firmly: "Second Miss, the General is busy with official duties, please return."
"Father is at ho, how is he busy?" Situtu Qinger said with disbelief, feeling the guards were just brushing her off.
"The General stays in the mansion, but he still has many docunts to handle."
"I just want to say a few words, it won’t delay Father for long."
"Second Miss, please return, don’t make things difficult for us servants."
"You all..."
The guards insisted on stopping her, Situtu Qinger was very angry, but couldn’t force her way through, she could only stand there stomping her feet.
Qingyuo Pavilion.
A maid hurriedly walked in from outside and reported to Xuexue, who was looking at the account book: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss indeed went to find the General, but it seems the General didn’t pay her any attention."
"Hmm, got it, you may leave."
The maid turned and left.
She was Xuexue’s spy within the mansion, specially tasked with monitoring Auntie Tang and her daughter.
Since Xuexue replaced all the servants in the mansion, she cultivated many people of her own, making it convenient for her to act within the mansion.
Indeed, in her past life, she was alone in the General’s Mansion, either harassed by the Old Madam or sched against by Auntie Tang, and only understood what was happening upon her death.
Her previous life was too muddled, too tragic.
In this life, she definitely cannot repeat the sa path.
Therefore, whether outside or in the mansion, Xuexue began to build her own forces, to ensure her safety and, when the ti is right, to easily take vengeance on her enemies.
Xuexue lifted her head from the account book, placed down the pen in her hand, and murmured to herself, "I should go greet Father too!"
