Chapter 947: Chapter 947: Only a Distinction Between Legitimate and Illegitimate Offspring

“Old Madam, let this old servant handle these trivial matters. There’s no need to trouble the Eldest Legitimate Daughter.”

Without waiting for Old Madam to speak, Xuexue humbly said, “Nanny, there’s no need to be polite. Xuexue hasn’t seen Auntie Tang for a while, so it’s right for to pay a visit and offer my greetings.”

Old Madam: “What greetings? You, an Eldest Legitimate Daughter, and she’s just a lowly concubine. Does she deserve such courtesy?”

In her previous life, she had never seen Old Madam scold Auntie Tang. Moreover, a rule had been set, requiring her, as the legitimate eldest Miss, to greet Auntie Tang every day. In this life, such a significant change had occurred, it seems yesterday’s incident had truly dealt her a great blow.

“Grandmother, don’t be angry. Xuexue won’t greet her, then. How about I call her over to greet you? Is that okay?”

“Mm! Go on.”

“Yes.”

Xuexue turned around and left with Zi Xia.

As soon as Xuexue’s figure disappeared, Old Maid said to Old Madam, “Old Madam, isn’t it inappropriate to let the Eldest Legitimate Daughter go greet Auntie Tang? After all, she is the Eldest Legitimate Daughter. For such minor matters, this old servant can handle them.”

“Isn’t it because that vile woman, Lady Tang, has infuriated to the point of fainting?”

“Old Madam, your health isn’t good; you mustn’t get angry.”

“I don’t want to get angry either, but when such incidents occur, how can I not be upset? It’s utterly stifling.” Old Madam was seething with anger. She was restless last night and barely got any sleep, so her temper was even worse today.

Couple’s Courtyard.

No sooner had Lady Tang and her daughters returned to their courtyard than Xuexue arrived.

As soon as she entered, Xuexue said unapologetically, “Auntie Tang, you’ve co back. Grandmother is summoning you.”

Upon seeing her, Lady Tang and her daughters, like sworn enemies coming face to face, beca exceedingly hostile. Their eyes widened with fury as they glared at Xuexue standing at the doorway, as if they wished they could skin her and eat her.

However, Xuexue was not a bit flustered and continued in an unhurried manner, “Grandmother said that if Auntie Tang does not arrive within the ti it takes to drink Half a Cup of Tea, she should roll out of the General’s Mansion.”

Situ Qinger erupted in anger, pointing at Xuexue’s nose and cursing, “Situ Xuexue, you little cheap person. No matter what, she is still an elder; how dare you speak to her like this!”

Xuexue snorted coldly, looking askance and full of scorn, “What elder. In the General’s Mansion, it’s only about legitimate and illegitimate offspring, not seniority. Besides, as the legitimate Eldest Daughter, it’s quite normal for to discipline a lowly concubine. Why should you, Second Sister, be so angry?”

After speaking, Xuexue turned around and left without looking back.

“Mother, just look at that little cheap person, how arrogant she is!” Situ Yu pointed at Xuexue’s receding back and shouted in anger.

And Xuexue, as if she hadn’t heard, continued to walk forward with dainty, swaying footsteps.

Lady Tang’s expression was also gloomy. She had just returned to the General’s Mansion and had not even had ti to freshen up before being summoned by Old Madam. She had lived in the General’s Mansion for more than a decade and sothing like this had never happened before. She felt there was sothing very fishy about it and turned to ask her children, “Did anything happen after Grandmother returned to the mansion?”

Situ Qinger then rembered the rumors within the mansion.

She repeated the matter of Celestial Master Qian’s visit to the mansion yesterday.

Lady Tang was greatly shocked; a secret she had hidden for so long was now exposed.

“Mother, you don’t have to mind the mansion’s rumors. Celestial Master Qian is just a charlatan. There are no such things as ghosts and goblins in this world.” Situ Qinger spoke disdainfully, “It’s laughable that he’s called a Heavenly Master, leading people astray with his nonsense.”

She hadn’t planned on informing Lady Tang, thinking the incident was false.

“What is Grandmother’s attitude?”

“Grandmother has always been superstitious, and there’s even a Buddhist hall set up in the courtyard, as Mother knows. She definitely believes it.”
