The Old Madam’s eyes sparkled as she smiled broadly, so much that her eyes disappeared. Although these gifts seed ordinary, they were all exquisite selections, and she cherished them!
Indeed, everything from the War Prince’s Mansion, whether food or items, was of the finest quality imaginable. Not only did ordinary families find them unattainable, but even the royal and noble families struggled to compare.
"Oh my! You girl, it’s enough that you’ve co back; why bring so many gifts? What would the Prince think of us upon knowing this?" The Old Madam’s face blood with joy, though her heart was genuinely delighted, her words were quite the opposite.
"Xuexue is the younger generation, and it’s rightful to show respect to elders."
Xuexue’s deanor was composed; her return today was to see what trick the Old Madam was up to. Moreover, her enemy was still in the General’s Mansion, and naturally, she didn’t wish her well. Since the Old Madam wanted to curry favor with her, why not make use of her to properly teach Situtu Qinger a lesson?
"Good, good!"
The Old Madam laughed happily. This girl, after marrying into the War Prince’s Mansion, had beco much more sensible than before. Not only did she no longer oppose her, but she also knew to show filial piety.
Due to Xuexue’s arrival, everyone in the General’s Mansion gathered in the main hall.
Xuexue coldly glanced at Situ Dieer, who seed a bit uneasy beside her, and smiled: "Third Sister, when you left without saying a word the other day, Big Sister was worried. In search of you, I nearly turned the Capital inside out."
Situ Dieer naturally knew Xuexue was deceiving her. She was in the General’s Mansion the whole ti; if Xuexue really searched the entire Capital, could she not have found her?
Feeling sowhat annoyed in her heart, she thought, this little cheap person lies without batting an eye; she underestimated her before, which led to constant setbacks.
Poor mother, up to her death, never knew the true face of this little cheap person.
Situ Dieer lowered her head, her expression pitiably wretched, looking as if she wanted to speak but dared not.
Intent on pleasing Xuexue, the Old Madam naturally disliked her, and seeing this, impatiently said: "We are all family; what can’t be spoken of, just say it quickly."
Situ Dieer seed to muster great courage, taking a deep breath, and softly said: "That day, on the street, I heard by chance that Grandmother was unwell. I was so anxious that I forgot to inform Big Sister and rushed back to the General’s Mansion."
Upon hearing this, the Old Madam was furious: "Who is so malicious that they would curse this old woman to be ill?"
At her age, the Old Madam was especially sensitive about illness; upon hearing soone curse her with sickness, she instantly lost her composure.
Lowering her head, Situ Dieer let out a barely noticeable, soft laugh.
She knew the mont Grandmother’s illness was ntioned, she would lose her reason and no longer speak in favor of the little cheap person Xuexue.
Situtu Xueer glanced at Situ Dieer with her head lowered and knew she must be inwardly proud at the mont.
She then said, "With such a good grandmother, who would be heartless enough to curse her? Third Sister, who exactly is it? Speak out, and Big Sister will go give them a hard ti."
Situ Dieer was clearly stunned for a mont. What kind of trick is this little cheap person up to now?
"Third Sister?"
"Ah?"
"I’m asking you! Why aren’t you responding?"
At this mont, Situ Dieer’s heart was in turmoil. Respond my foot; there was no such person, it was a fabrication.
"Oh, Dieer is trying hard to recall!" Situ Dieer awkwardly smiled, then said earnestly: "Those people were unknown to Dieer, just so common folks."
The Old Madam’s face was filled with anger: "How vile! If I catch them, they’ll surely get a thorough scolding."
