No need to guess; it’s obvious that because of the bracelet-snatching incident last night, Situtu Qinger must have exaggerated things to the Old Madam, and today she’s bringing her entourage over to find trouble.
This old woman is no good either, always plotting against her these days.
Xuexue decided to go et him, to see what he’s up to. Clearly, they searched her room for the bracelet and gave it to Situtu Qinger, and now they dare to hold her accountable? Do they really think she’s as easy to bully as in her previous life?
"Did grandmother summon us?"
"Yes, hurry up, grandmother is getting impatient." Situtu Qinger waved her hand, and the dozen or so maids and old maids behind her aggressively approached Xuexue.
Zi Xia, with a few maids, blocked in front of Xuexue: "Don’t go overboard."
Xuexue reached out and moved her aside: "Zi Xia, step aside."
"Young madam."
"It’s alright, grandmother called for , it’s definitely because of what happened to yesterday. The old lady is concerned and is just calling over to inquire."
With that, she coldly glanced at Situtu Qinger: "Second sister, let’s go."
After speaking, she ignored them and stepped out by herself.
Zi Xia, worried that the young madam might suffer losses, hurriedly followed.
With a smug smile, Situtu Qinger stood her ground, knowing that with the Old Madam on their side, Situtu Xueer had no chance.
Refreshing Courtyard.
Outside, the cold wind was biting, but inside it was very warm. As the Old Madam was old, every winter a heater would be placed inside, making the entire house feel like spring all year round.
When Xuexue and the large group entered, she was leisurely having breakfast, treating them like air, without paying any attention.
The Old Madam stayed silent, and so Situtu Qinger didn’t dare to speak either. Outwardly obediently standing aside but constantly hinting with her eyes at Situ Zhi beside the Old Madam.
Situ Zhi imdiately understood and said in a pleading voice to the Old Madam, "Grandmother, second sister is back."
Only then did the Old Madam raise her eyes to glance at Situtu Qinger: "You’re back, go sit down and eat."
"Eh! Thank you, grandmother."
With a sense of pride, Situtu Qinger sat down next to the table.
The Old Madam treated Xuexue as if she were invisible, completely ignoring her.
Surrounding the Old Madam, the four siblings of Situtu were happily having breakfast together.
Only Xuexue stood alone by the side.
Zi Xia was very angry, seeing this as open bullying of the young madam. He stepped forward and quietly called, "Young madam."
Xuexue raised her hand, indicating for him not to make a sound.
The four siblings of Situtu were exceedingly proud. Now that the Old Madam was on their side, helping them to deal with Situtu Xueer, they were unafraid within the General’s Mansion since the Old Madam was the authority there.
"Grandmother, have so more." Situtu Qinger attentively handed a piece of lotus cake to the Old Madam, while smugly glancing at Situtu Xueer standing aside.
As if boasting that her status in the General’s Mansion had surpassed that of the legitimate eldest daughter.
Situ Zhi smacked his lips as he ate and arrogantly said, "Grandmother, it’s quite nice for us to have breakfast together, but so eyesores around spoil the mood."
As he spoke, he glanced pointedly at Xuexue.
Xuexue gave a cold internal laugh; such petty tactics were insufficient to defeat her; it was laughable: "Grandmother, since you’re busy, I won’t disturb you; I’ll take my leave."
With that, she didn’t linger for a mont longer, turned, and walked out.
This left not only Situtu Qinger but the entire room in a daze.
