Capítulo 2000: Chapter 2000
The streets were bustling with people, noticeably more lively than usual. Everyone knew that today was the day of the Pri Minister’s funeral, and they all wanted to co out and see the spectacle.
The Empress’s phoenix carriage had just passed by, and people gathered again to discuss in excitent…
“The Empress fainted from anger that day at the Execution Ground; I thought she wouldn’t show up today!”
“What are you saying? The Pri Minister is her own father; how could she not appear?”
“Hmm, true. With the Pri Minister’s funeral today, I wonder if anything will happen.” The speaker’s tone wasn’t one of concern but rather gossiping, clearly hoping for so drama today for excitent.
“The War Prince didn’t leave the mansion today, so nothing major should happen.”
“True, with the Empress here to hold the fort, who would dare provoke them besides the War Prince?”
“Sigh, I should have just stayed ho and done so farm work. This calm is just wasting my ti.”
Xuexue and Zi Xia were initially in a carriage, but the streets were too crowded, slowing the carriage to a crawl. Not far from the War Prince’s Mansion, they got off and decided to walk to the shop on foot. Listening to the people’s chatter, they just smiled and didn’t take it to heart.
“Elder sister.”
A familiar voice ca from behind. Xuexue turned her head and saw that it was Situ Dieer. They hadn’t seen each other for so ti, and her attire and deanor had beco much more refined.
When Situtu Xueer was still in the mansion, Situ Dieer appeared very obedient on the surface and never offended Xuexue.
However, in their previous life, everything Situ Qinger did was orchestrated by her from behind the scenes. Xuexue learned the whole truth upon her death in the previous life and realized that Situ Dieer was a formidable character.
Xuexue looked at her with a smile, but her eyes were cool and detached: “Third sister, why are you out here too?”
Situ Dieer’s small, refined face bore a faint smile as she said obediently, “Zhizhi insisted on coming out to play, and Grandmother wasn’t at ease. As the sister, I had to volunteer to accompany him.”
“Third sister, third sister, where are you going? Co over quickly; I want to eat candied hawthorns.” Among the crowd a short distance away, Situ Zhi was hopping around, looking in all directions, searching for Situ Dieer.
Situ Dieer quickly said to Xuexue, “Elder sister, you should co back to the mansion when you have ti. Grandmother misses you.”
That old woman missing her? That’s utterly absurd.
Even if she did, it certainly wouldn’t be for anything good. It’s probably to use her status to seek benefits for the General’s Mansion. If not for Situ Yongjie, Xuexue really didn’t want to set foot in the General’s Mansion again.
Xue Ren replied with a smile, “I will.”
“Zhizhi is looking for , so I won’t disturb you, elder sister.”
“Mm, you go ahead, I have things to do too!”
“Elder sister, where are you going?”
“Oh, nothing much, just wandering around.”
“Oh! Goodbye, Dieer.”
“Mm, go ahead.”
Situ Dieer turned and walked towards Situ Zhi, calling as she walked, “Zhizhi, third sister is here!”
Zi Xia watched her back and said, “First Miss, since Auntie Tang and Second Miss’s incident, Third Miss has beco more composed.”
Xuexue coldly chuckled to herself. Composed? More like a beautiful snake, silent in normal tis but deadly at crucial monts.
Xuexue’s voice was calm and unruffled as she said, “Hasn’t she always been like that?”
Zi Xia: “Yes, Third Miss doesn’t like being ostentatious, unlike Second Miss, who is so arrogant and domineering.”
