With a smirk, Situtu Xueer said mockingly, "It’s strange that common folks know about the affairs in the General’s Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Situ Dieer’s face changed drastically. Why does this little cheap person always have to go against him? She’s here to ruin her reputation, isn’t she?
The Old Madam imdiately caught on, glaring fiercely at Situ Dieer with her sharp triangular eyes, her voice biting: "Dieer, look at your grandmother’s eyes and tell the truth, are those words sothing you made up carelessly?"
Frightened, Situ Dieer imdiately fell to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down her face, appearing utterly panicked. She kowtowed to the ground, "Grandmother, spare , every word I said is true, I absolutely did not lie to you."
After speaking, she persisted in knocking her head vigorously against the ground, her fair forehead turning bright red,
seemingly unaware, she continued to knock her head hard.
Everyone frowned at the sight, thinking how cowardly the Third Miss of the Situ Mansion was, that just one word from the Old Madam could scare her like this.
Only Situtu Xueer was clear in her heart that all this was just Situ Dieer’s act.
She’s like a silent dog, one that bites lethally when provoked.
Situ Dieer continued to plead for rcy while lying on the ground, her voice trembling, "Grandmother, please spare , I won’t dare to speak recklessly again."
"Do you an to say that what you said just now was all nonsense?"
"No, no, no, it’s indeed what people outside are saying."
The Old Madam’s frown deepened, her tone filled with disgust, "If you weren’t wrong, why admit you were, truly spineless. The Situ Family being cursed with a descendant like you, such bad luck for eight generations. Get up and get out, you’ve ruined my good mood."
Situ Qinger quickly stepped forward to cover up, speaking in a flattering tone, "Grandmother, Third sister has always been timid, when we speak slightly louder, she trembles all over, you know her nature, always so cowardly."
The Old Madam waved her hand impatiently, saying to Situ Dieer on the ground, "Get out of here, looking at you irritates ."
Situ Dieer shakily got up from the ground and, with the help of a maid, slowly walked out of the hall. At the doorway, she paused, slightly turned, and her eyes like a venomous snake shot straight at Xuexue.
It felt as if she could feel her gaze.
Xuexue turned her head to et her eyes, then, with a provocative grin, looked back at her smilingly.
The maid, noticing her pause, worriedly called out, "Third Miss, let’s go. If we’re late, Old Madam will scold us again."
"Humph!"
Situ Dieer snorted angrily, turned around, and walked out slowly with the maid.
The maid trembled inside, fearing she might have misspoken, thinking the Third Miss was angry!
After Situ Dieer left, the atmosphere in the hall gradually beca lively again.
The Old Madam pondered how to discuss the matter of silver with Xuexue.
"Xuexue, all these years have been hard on you, a daughter of high status struggling even to have three full als, it’s truly been difficult for you."
"Not at all, with the company of my adoptive mother, everything was fine."
Old Madam had an agenda, Xuexue knew, but she didn’t know what exactly it was.
Since returning to the Capital from Mo Family Village, several months had passed, and the Old Madam had never spoken to her like this; this sudden sentintality must have sothing behind it.
Xuexue was not foolish, she naturally understood this sense.
Old Madam: "After all, it’s not the sa as being one’s own flesh and blood, how could it be good?"
