Because of the steward’s actions, they encountered an itinerant world con artist. Prince Pu was furious and directly ordered the steward to be dragged out and given twenty lashes.
Prince Pu encountered an itinerant world con artist.
Seeing them so miserable, although Situtu Qinger held resentnt for them burning Auntie Tang’s corpse, the matter had reached a point where continuing to quibble would be useless. Further commotion would only cause friction with Prince Pu, which was not the outco he desired. Thus, he had no choice but to bring his siblings back to the General’s Mansion.
General’s Mansion, Refreshing Courtyard.
After spending two anxious days, the Old Madam worried that Situ Yongjie poisoning Auntie Tang would be exposed and that Prince Pu would certainly co to stir trouble. ntally prepared for the situation, she decided regardless of Situ Yongjie’s willingness, Situtu Xueer had to be pushed forward as a scapegoat. Nonetheless, after waiting and waiting, she later heard that Prince Pu had the corpse of Auntie Tang taken to the outskirts and burned.
Amidst shock, she couldn’t help but let out a big sigh of relief.
As long as the matter wasn’t discovered, and Prince Pu didn’t know they poisoned Auntie Tang, it didn’t matter, did it?
At that mont, Old Lady Zhang hurriedly walked in from outside: "Old Madam, Second Miss, Third Miss, Fourth Miss, and Little Young Master have returned."
Ever since hearing that Auntie Tang’s corpse was taken to the outskirts and burned by Prince Pu, Situtu Qinger and his three siblings quickly left the mansion to confront Prince Pu’s Mansion about the matter, which the Old Madam was aware of. She also wanted to know what exactly happened, so she sent soone to guard the front entrance to notify when they returned.
The Old Madam thought for a mont and said to Old Lady Zhang, "We haven’t seen Zhizhi for several days, ask him to co over and say that his grandmother misses him."
Old Lady Zhang understood the Old Madam’s intention; she wanted to question Situ Zhi to inquire about what happened at Prince Pu’s Mansion.
Old Lady Zhang: "Yes, Old Madam, this old servant will imdiately invite Little Young Master over."
"Go quickly."
"Yes."
Old Lady Zhang, who had just returned, hurriedly walked out again.

General’s Mansion main entrance.
Two luxurious horse carriages parked at the entrance, and Situtu Qinger and his siblings gradually stepped out.
Situ Yu stepped down and said worriedly, "Second sister, Auntie’s corpse has already been cremated by grandfather, we will never be able to deal with eldest sister again, what should we do?"
Situ Dieer also asked, "Exactly, Second sister, what do we do now?"
The four of them stood at the entrance of the General’s Mansion, discussing.
Auntie Tang died too suddenly, and they instantly beca children without a mother, feeling unsettled, naturally looking to Situtu Qinger as their leader.
Situtu Qinger raised his eyes to glance at Situ Zhi, saying, "Why are you panicking? The manor only has Zhizhi as the male heir, and eldest sister will eventually marry out. The General’s Mansion will fall into Zhizhi’s hands sooner or later."
Situ Yu: "Even though that’s what you say, right now eldest sister is in charge, who knows how long we have to endure these days."
Indeed, currently their daily life depended entirely on Situtu Xueer, and when Auntie Tang was alive, their stipend kept getting smaller. Now that Auntie Tang is dead, they have no reliance in the General’s Mansion, thus Situtu Xueer dealing with them becos even less burdenso, which is their greatest concern.
Situtu Qinger smiled proudly, "What are you afraid of? As long as Zhizhi is here, eldest sister cannot defeat us."
As they stood at the entrance discussing, they didn’t notice Old Lady Zhang guarding the entrance, who upon seeing them promptly hurried inside.
