Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord Chapter 1460: Complaints

Xuexue’s expression was serious: "No, my adoptive mother treated like her own, and I am imnsely grateful for her nurturing grace. Without her, there would be no Xuexue today; I might have starved to death long ago, with no chance of returning to the Capital."

The Old Madam sighed and remarked, "Ah! It’s fate. Who would have thought you were still alive? Your father and I both believed you and your mother had both..."

The Old Madam paused, squinting with her triangular eyes, and sneaked a glance at Xuexue, comforting her, "Ah! Let’s not ntion it; it’s all in the past. Don’t dwell on it. It’s good that you’re back. With your father and grandmother around, we won’t let you suffer any hardships again."

Hearing this, Xuexue almost sneered. This Old Madam really has quite the thick skin. What does her living well have to do with her?

Supporting her? Saying that out loud wouldn’t even make others laugh off their teeth.

As long as they don’t plot behind her back, it’s already a blessing from Amitabha Buddha.

Xuexue did not want to continue this topic and glanced around, "Where’s father? Why haven’t I seen him?"

Old Madam: "He left early in the morning, saying he was busy with official duties."

"Oh!"

"Grandmother called Xuexue back today, what’s the matter?"

"Nothing really. As a family, eting more often can enhance our feelings." The Old Madam bead with a smile.

Enhance feelings? What feelings are there to speak of between them? Xuexue scoffed inwardly. Besides, when she was at the General’s Mansion before, how co she never saw the Old Madam co to enhance their feelings? Now that she’s married to the War Prince’s Mansion, they want to enhance their feelings?

Xuexue remained calm and nodded lightly, "Yes, grandmother is right. As a family, we should indeed enhance our feelings."

"Xuexue! Since we are all family, grandmother won’t be polite with you. There’s sothing grandmother wants to ask for your help, is that okay?"

The fox’s tail finally reveals itself!

"I’m just an ordinary woman, with not much ability, but grandmother can say it out loud, let Xuexue listen and see if there’s any help she can offer?"

"Sure, sure! As long as you’re willing, you can definitely help."

"Oh?"

The Old Madam’s anxious deanor made Xuexue raise her brows, with an ominous premonition in her heart. This old lady undoubtedly has motives.

"It’s like this, so ti ago when you were managing the General’s Mansion, you might have known. The finances of the General’s Mansion have encountered problems, could you perhaps...?"

So it was for silver, Xuexue suddenly realized.

Actually, she was well aware of the financial situation of the General’s Mansion.

The biggest expense was Situ Zhi, this wastrel who used the best of everything, demanding only the finest. His monthly expenditures alone equaled the total expenses of everyone in the General’s Mansion; cumulatively, over ti, this figure was terrifying.

Perhaps it was his spoiling since childhood. Even when Xuexue was managing the household and attempted to control his living expenses, it ended in failure.

The root cause was still with the Old Madam.

There was no way out; the Old Madam pampered him, so Xuexue could only let it be.

The Old Madam spoiled her only grandson imnsely, acceding to his every wish and couldn’t bear to see him wronged. Whenever Situ Zhi felt aggrieved by Xuexue, he would imdiately complain to the Old Madam, who would then summon Xuexue to harshly reprimand her.

Over ti, Xuexue grew weary of managing it. As a result, in just a few months, they brought ruin to the General’s Mansion.

Honestly, who could afford to raise such a second-generation heir?

Xuexue doesn’t consider herself magnanimous enough to help raise a rival’s son.

Besides, Auntie Tang was the culprit behind her biological mother’s death. Although there’s no evidence in this life yet, it was validated in a previous life. It was Situtu Qinger who admitted it in her own words; this was an indisputable fact.
