"Such a big business, Miss, do you really trust outsiders to manage it?"
"Of course, as the saying goes: if you use soone, you should trust them; if you doubt them, don’t use them."
"Aren’t you afraid they’ll embezzle, Miss?"
"Your Miss isn’t foolish. Just check the accounts periodically."
In the past few months, Situtu Xueer’s business has grown, with more than a dozen stores in the Capital alone, and the premises are quite grand.
In addition, there are other stores in different locations, adding up to dozens. If Xuexue were to inspect them one by one, she’d be exhausted.
Xuexue isn’t foolish, so naturally, she would cultivate so loyal subordinates to help manage these shops.
As they spoke, the carriage gradually ca to a stop, and the leading party arrived at Lingxiu Mountain, with the first to arrive being the young ladies from elite families.
The Emperor’s carriage was in the middle of the procession, surrounded by many Imperial Forbidden Guards, and would take a little more ti.
Everyone got off their carriages, waiting for the Emperor’s carriage to arrive, so they could enter Lingxiu Mountain Villa together.
Unexpectedly, amid the crowd of young ladies, Situtu Xueer actually saw Situtu Qinger’s figure. She was hiding alone on one side, not daring to speak to anyone.
Previously, Situtu Qinger loved mingling among the elite won because she was one of the most outstanding among them, and everyone liked to gather around her, which gave her a sense of superiority.
Since the wedding day, when she was frad, inexplicably found herself asleep with a servant, and seen by many, her reputation was utterly ruined.
Even the Fourth Prince, who had always treated her well, was now greatly disgruntled with her.
Just as she got off the carriage, she saw everyone pointing fingers at her...
"This woman is truly shaless, getting defiled by a servant, yet still dares to show her face? If I were her, I’d smash my head and die to save face."
"Isn’t it the truth? A woman of loose morals shouldn’t even be with us."
"Who let her co?"
"Certainly, she’s relying on being the daughter of the Great General Situ."
This ti, there was no limit on the number of participants for the hunt; as long as soone was the daughter of an official in the court, she could participate.
So, Situtu Qinger was indeed eligible to partake.
"This woman is truly shaless, daring to show her face."
"Let’s just ignore her."
The young ladies from elite families unanimously expressed their dislike for Situtu Qinger, unwilling to walk alongside her.
With a sense of self-awareness, Situtu Qinger kept silent, staying alone in a corner, waiting for the Fourth Prince to appear.
She still held a shred of hope in her heart, hoping the Fourth Prince would rember that she gave him her first ti, and grant her a status. She didn’t dare to hope for the position of Main Consort, only wishing for any title, even being a concubine would be good.
After all, her affair with the servant was known throughout the Capital, making it impossible for the Fourth Prince to fully forgive her.
Soon, the rear of the procession arrived, and the Princes surrounded the Emperor, chatting as they walked towards the gate of Lingxiu Mountain Villa...
Passing by Situtu Qinger, seeing her eager expression, the Fourth Prince’s face visibly stiffened; he couldn’t believe that Situtu Qinger still dared to show her face and participate in the hunt.
The Second Prince noticed his expression and teased, "Fourth Imperial Brother, your sister-in-law has co to see you."
"You...!" The Fourth Prince glared fiercely at him, this Second Imperial Brother really didn’t mind stirring trouble.
As if not hearing, the Emperor steadily continued walking towards the villa...
