Chapter 939: Chapter 939: Not Stepping Outside the House

Xiao Taohong was so exasperated by Little Baby that, with a swish, she turned and floated into the air, indicating that she no longer wished to deal with the big bad tiger.

“Little thing.”

Little Baby muttered to himself, looking very pleased.

Now that Xiao Taohong’s matter was resolved, Xuexue’s heart finally settled, and she retreated from the space.

Refreshing Courtyard.

The Old Madam had not left her residence these days, spending all her ti in the Buddhist hall praying and reciting sutras, completely devoted to her faith.

anwhile, Situ Zhi, the only Young Master of the General’s Mansion, ca here daily.

Understandably so, since his birth mother, Lady Tang, had been demoted to the manor.

And the General’s Mansion had fallen into Xuexue’s hands.

He, who used to command the wind and summon the rain as the Eldest Young Master, experienced a sudden and drastic change in his treatnt that unsettled him deeply. Now that the Old Madam had finally returned, he was desperately making his presence felt here, not to ntion he carried the mission of his several sisters on his shoulders, naturally trying his hardest to win the Old Madam’s favor, hoping that all his wishes would co true.

Seeing her only grandson, the Old Madam naturally was overjoyed.

In this era, the preference for boys over girls was very pronounced, and with Situ Zhi being the only male descendant in the Situ Family, he was treated like a precious treasure, almost as if they feared he would lt in their mouths or break if dropped.

“Grandmother, when can Mother co back to the Mansion?” Situ Zhi had asked this question countless tis but persisted in asking it tirelessly.

“My dear grandson, this is not sothing that Grandmother should interfere with, it’s better you ask your father.”

“But Father listens to Grandmother too, as long as Grandmother pleads for her, Mother will surely return ho very soon.” Situ Zhi, nine years old, shook the Old Madam’s arm with his small hands, imploring relentlessly.

“Alright, alright, Zhizhi, stop shaking your Grandmother, I’m getting dizzy.”

The Old Madam rubbed her temples with her fingers, feeling a headache coming on from her grandson’s request, as Lady Tang had been sent to the manor by Situ Yongjie, and it was not her place as a stepmother to intervene.

“Grandmother, you said last ti that Mother would be returning ho, but so much ti has passed—why hasn’t she co back?”

The last ti, cornered by Situ Zhi’s incessant pleas, the Old Madam had unwillingly told a lie, now feeling guilty.

“Sigh! For my dear grandson, Grandmother will take the risk, I’ll talk to your father tomorrow. Will that do, child?” Out of options, the Old Madam promised.

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Don’t lie to !”

“If I lie, I’m a little dog, is that good enough?”

“Yay! Mother is finally going to co ho.” Situ Zhi ran off bouncing and jumping in excitent.

“This child, already nine years old and yet has no composure,” the Old Madam shook her head and smiled as she watched his bouncing figure.

The Old Maid attending her laughed and said, “The Little Young Master is lively and adorable; he’s sure to grow up to be clever.”

“Hopefully.” The Old Madam picked up the Buddha Beads from the table, held them in her hand, closed her eyes, and started praying once again.

Seeing this, the Old Maid did not speak further, standing quietly by the side, waiting for the Old Madam’s orders.

Ti flies, days and months are like shuttles; in the blink of an eye, another day passed.

Xuexue, accompanied by Zi Xia, was getting ready to go out.

Just as they reached the garden, they encountered Celestial Master Zhang who was carrying large and small packages.

“Heavenly Master, what’s happened to you?” Xuexue asked in surprise.

After all, why had the Doorkeeper not reported Celestial Master Zhang’s arrival at the General’s Mansion to her? Assuming that Xuexue was now in charge of the Mansion, she should have been inford imdiately of any matters.

Celestial Master Zhang: “Eldest Miss, I have already spoken to the General yesterday, and today, after preparing all the necessary tools, I’ve co to the General’s Mansion to observe the feng shui. Eldest Miss, haven’t you forgotten?”
