Chapter 881: Chapter 881 Truly an Unfortunate Family
At this mont, Situ Yu also entered. Seeing the Old Madam reciting Buddha’s na, she dared not disturb her. With a glance, her gaze collided squarely with that of Situtu Qinger.
“Hmph!”
After glaring fiercely at Situtu Qinger, she averted her gaze and stood aside to wait.
Her presence had destroyed the reputation that Situtu Qinger had always carefully maintained for herself. Naturally, upon seeing her, it was like enemies eting—deeply envious—but in front of the Old Madam, Situtu Qinger didn’t dare to provoke trouble.
“Hmph!”
Situ Yu t Situtu Qinger’s piercing gaze with an equally fierce glare of her own.
Thus, silently, the two exchanged vitriolic looks as if their eyes were shooting daggers.
The Old Maid, the Old Madam’s personal attendant, watched the two sisters’ behavior and couldn’t help shaking her head. The Old Madam had always held Situtu Qinger in high regard; she hadn’t expected the Second Miss to exhibit such behavior in private.
The Old Maid didn’t know that Situtu Qinger was still young and had yet to experience much of life. Two years later, after rigorous training by Lady Tang, she would be wholly transford. In terms of strategy, she would be peerless.
After about the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Old Madam finally opened her eyes. Without a word, she placed the Buddha Beads in her hand onto a pedestal in the Buddhist hall, then slowly turned around. She glanced at them ominously before speaking in a asured tone, “I heard that last night in front of the General’s Mansion, a grand commotion was perford. Is there any truth to this?”
Situ Yu, being younger, couldn’t contain herself and promptly burst out in defense, “Grandmother, Yuer can’t be blad for this. It all cos down to blaming the Second Sister; she was the one who acted first. Yuer was rely resisting.”
Hearing this, Situtu Qinger’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Little Sister, how skillful you’ve beco at telling lies. It was clearly you who acted first. How has it suddenly beco ?”
Situ Yu’s lips quivered as she cried pitifully, “Second Sister, how can you say such things? Yuer is so young, how could I possibly be the one to strike Second Sister first?”
Indeed, eleven-year-old Situ Yu was quite petite, only reaching up to Situtu Qinger’s shoulder.
Situ Qinger, at the age of fourteen, was rather tall and well-developed. At a glance, she seed no different from a grown young lady.
So, the claim that Situ Yu would hit her first was indeed unbelievable to anyone.
“You… you…” Situ Qinger, infuriated, stamped her foot and turned around abruptly to act coquettishly with the Old Madam, “Grandmother, look at Little Sister, she’s getting better and better at arguing her case. It was clearly her who hit first, and yet she has the audacity to accuse Qinger of starting it. Please, your grace, stand up for your granddaughter.”
In the past, this tactic of Situtu Qinger often worked on the Old Madam.
“Slap!”
The Old Madam slamd the table fiercely, exuding authority without anger, “You’ve lost the face of the General’s Mansion, and yet you still argue here?”
Suddenly, with the Old Madam’s slamming of the table, both of them were startled and fell silent, not daring to utter a sound.
“Our General’s Mansion is truly unfortunate, how could we have born the likes of you two?” The Old Madam expressed her severe headache by rubbing her temples, clearly agitated by their behavior.
Previously, when Lady Tang was around, she hadn’t noticed anything amiss and was quite fond of Situtu Qinger, finding her extrely beautiful. She thought that if she could really marry into the Imperial Family, it might help the General’s Mansion rise further in official ranks.
However, after this return to the mansion, Situtu Qinger’s various actions had left her greatly dissatisfied.
The Old Maid was an observant person. Seeing this, she swiftly stepped forward, standing behind the Old Madam, and began to gently massage her temples.
