Situ Yongjie continued to speak, "Your grandmother is getting old, her health is poor; she must not catch a cold."
Catching sight of the Old Madam’s smug expression, Xuexue agreed with a sound, "Hmm! That’s fine."
Since Xuexue returned today, everyone ca out to greet her. Situtu Qinger looked at the two cold and cheerless carriages and felt quite pleased inside. Sending this little cheap person to the War Prince’s Mansion was indeed the right decision. Look at her now, what kind of life she is living. Returning today, the War Prince hasn’t co back with her; it’s obvious she’s not favored.
Indeed, according to current customs, a married girl returning ho should have her husband accompany her to maintain dignity. Now Xuexue is coming back all alone, isn’t it blatantly clear she hasn’t received much attention in the War Prince’s Mansion?
On the day of Xuexue’s wedding, the entire capital was in an uproar because the War Prince actually sent a big white goose in his place. Isn’t this an obvious humiliation? Furthermore, the Princess Consort of War Prince who got married on the sa day didn’t receive such treatnt. Isn’t it clear that the War Prince was biased against Situtu Xueer?
Upon hearing this news, Situtu Qinger and her siblings were overjoyed. Not only did they successfully get Xuexue out of the General’s Mansion, but they also made her life worse than death. It was simply delightful.
As they walked inside, Situtu Qinger pretended not to care and asked, "Eldest sister, everyone is saying that the War Prince has recovered. Why didn’t he co back to the mansion with you today?"
She deliberately said this, indicating to the Old Madam and Situ Yongjie that Situtu Xueer was out of favor in the War Prince’s Mansion and was of no help to the General’s Mansion, so there’s no need to be too polite to her.
Moreover, what angered Situtu Qinger the most was that even though this little cheap person was married, the Fourth Prince was still obsessed with her. It was rumored that just a few days ago, he carried gifts to the War Prince’s Mansion to visit her as before. Hearing this news nearly drove her mad with anger, and after much thought, she put all the bla on Xuexue. If this little cheap person hadn’t returned to the capital, the Fourth Prince would have been hers.
Indeed, ever since Xuexue returned to the capital, her status dropped from the eldest legitimate daughter of the General’s Mansion to a concubine-born daughter. The status of a concubine-born daughter was too low, not even qualifying to stand beside the Fourth Prince. Whenever she thought of this issue, overwhelming hatred surged within her, and she believed everything she suffered today was caused by Xuexue, naturally harboring imnse resentnt toward her.
In this life and the last, Situtu Qinger had always sched to harm her. Regarding this behavior, Xuexue found it quite normal. If there ever ca a day when Situtu Qinger didn’t harm her, then she would find it abnormal.
Upon hearing this, the Old Madam and Situ Yongjie both turned to look intently at Situtu Xueer, wanting to see what explanation she would offer.
Xuexue smiled faintly, "The Prince has just recovered from an illness, with many governntal affairs awaiting his attention. How could he spare ti to accompany ho?"
Situ Yongjie nodded in agreent, echoing, "Yes, the Prince is usually busy with official duties. Having been ill for a ti, surely many tasks have piled up. This is understandable."
The Old Madam’s eyes flickered, deep in thought about sothing.
Actually, she was rather glad to see Xuexue not being favored in the War Prince’s Mansion. Ideally, like other won, she might accidentally be done away with by the War Prince, thus resolving her major concern.
Indeed, her original intention was not to marry Xuexue to the War Prince’s Mansion. However, her precious grandson was in trouble, having killed His Excellency the Minister’s daughter, causing a great calamity, putting his life in extre danger. It was out of utter helplessness that she decided to have Situtu Yongjie propose to the War Prince’s Mansion, asking them to ensure Situ Zhi’s safety.
