Zi Xia: "Is the First Miss going to apologize to the Old Master?"
"You could say that."
Xuexue said as she stood up.
Early this morning, Situtu Qinger ca to visit, and in a hurry, Xuexue fabricated a lie that the entire mansion was grounded and forbade anyone from leaving.
Knowing that Situ Yongjie was suspicious about whether Situtu Qinger was his biological daughter, Xuexue was certain he wouldn’t expose her lie. True enough, Situtu Qinger tried to sow discord, but external factors prevented her from succeeding.
However, having spread the lie, a proper explanation needed to be given to Situ Yongjie.
Xuexue did not want this matter to create any estrangent between father and daughter in the future.
─────
When Xuexue arrived at Situ Yongjie’s residence, Situtu Qinger hadn’t left yet and was outside loudly clamoring towards the room...
"Father, let Qinger in. Qinger has sothing to say to you."
The guards stood to the side with an expression of helplessness, watching the Second Miss shouting loudly beside them: "Second Miss, you are wasting your energy. The General will not let you in."
Previously, the Second Miss was very calm, and she spoke softly, but recently, her behavior had beco quite rude, and her words were full of vulgarities, lacking any trace of a gentle lady, yet she had the nerve to look down on the First Miss, calling her unrefined, having grown up in a common family, just a country girl.
In their eyes, although the Second Miss grew up in the Capital, her appearance and conduct were far inferior to the First Miss. She had the nerve to insult others as country girls, whereas her own behavior was less than that of a maid.
An indignant Situtu Qinger, hearing this, imdiately lashed out at them: "You dogs, what business is it of yours what I, the Miss, do?"
"..."
Regardless of the Second Miss’s deanor, she was still a young mistress; the guards were angry but didn’t dare speak up in response to her curses.
"Hmph!"
Seeing them not daring to make a sound, Situtu Qinger snorted and then pleaded towards the house, loudly and earnestly: "Father, are you really ignoring matters in the mansion? Just letting the First Miss behave recklessly? Father! You must think carefully. She has been wandering outside for over ten years; she surely resents our General. To give her authority over the family is to destroy the General’s Mansion!"
Situtu Qinger shouted loudly towards the house.
She hadn’t noticed that Xuexue was slowly entering with Zi Xia.
And at that very mont, she was speaking ill of Xuexue.
The guards’ expressions shifted from initial astonishnt to mockery.
After all, speaking politely, they were Situ Yongjie’s subordinates, speaking harshly, they were no different from servants. No matter what Situtu Qinger said, she was still a young mistress, and they dared not offend her.
But Xuexue was different; she was the First Miss. Situtu Qinger dared to openly offend her, and Xuexue could justly punish her, leaving others no grounds for argunt.
Just as Situtu Qinger’s voice faded.
A chilly voice was heard from behind: "Second Sister, do explain to how exactly the First Miss is destroying the General’s Mansion?"
Surprised by the voice, Situtu Qinger’s whole body jolted, and as she slowly turned around, she discovered that Situtu Xueer was standing not far behind her, while the guards beside her were covering their mouths, secretly laughing.
These dog servants were clearly mocking her.
Such a scene deeply touched Situtu Qinger’s nerve that valued face, so she quickly retorted: "Big Sister, there’s no need to get excited. Qinger is straightforward; she’s only speaking the truth."
