Chapter 950: Chapter 950: Extrely Furious
“The daughter-in-law has always been keeping her duty, truly do not understand why the Mother-in-law is speaking of the daughter-in-law in such a way.”
Old Madam laughed out of extre anger: “Previously you were seen as gentle and virtuous, it turns out, it was all an act, I have observed people all my life, yet with you, I have taken the fall.”
In her youth, Old Madam was also an expert at household strife, she prided herself on her accuracy in judging people, yet she was deceived by her own daughter-in-law for over a decade, how could she swallow such an insult.
“Mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law has just returned from the manor, what exactly is the matter, that you question the daughter-in-law like this, even if I am to die, let your daughter-in-law die with a clear understanding.”
Such matters, absolutely cannot be acknowledged, Lady Tang was clear in her heart, hence, decided to firmly stick to her story till the end.
“I will ask you one more ti, where have the maids purchased for the mansion in recent years gone?”
“Those suitable are all still in the mansion, the unsuitable ones were all sold away,” Lady Tang replied with an apparent demureness.
In fact, she was actively resisting Old Madam’s authority with her actions.
“At this point, you’re still lying?” Old Madam also felt this and was especially furious.
“Every word of the daughter-in-law is true, there has absolutely been no deceit towards the Mother-in-law.”
Just as the two were at an impasse.
A maid ran in flustered: “Old Madam, Old Madam, sothing terrible!”
Old Madam was already furious. Upon hearing this, her anger grew, she lifted her eyes to the maid and scolded harshly: “You dog servant, do you not have any rules? What a disgraceful commotion.”
“Old Madam, please spare ! The maid truly has urgent news to report.” The maid, scared out of her wits, knelt on the ground with a plop, vigorously kowtowing.
Xuexue’s eyes flickered, not waiting for Old Madam to speak, she asked: “What on earth happened? Why are you so panicked?”
“Replying to the young mistress, just now the Little Young Master was playing in the Back Garden, sohow, he threw his ball into the dried well, the Little Young Master, in a panic, jumped after it. To our shock, what was pulled out was not the ball, but a human skeleton head.”
Rembering the incident, the maid was still trembling, at the ti she was terrified seeing Little Young Master climbing out of the well holding a skeleton head.
“What?”
Not only was Old Madam shocked.
Lady Tang kneeling on the ground, her face suddenly looked dreadful.
“How could this be? Where is Zhizhi now? Is he frightened?” Old Madam was so anxious that she stood up, asking several questions in a row.
“The Little Young Master is currently crying in the courtyard!”
“You dog servants, how can you let the Little Young Master cry there in the courtyard? Bring him back imdiately.” As she spoke, Old Madam hurriedly walked outside.
Xuexue stood up with a deep expression, passing by Lady Tang, she said coldly: “Auntie Tang, won’t you join us to take a look?”
Auntie Tang’s face turned pale, she collapsed to the ground, as if she hadn’t heard what Xuexue said.
Situ Qinger, hearing about her brother retrieving a skeleton head from the dry well, was also very puzzled. She had been living in the General’s Mansion for over a decade and never heard of anyone losing their life, how a skeleton head could appear in the well?
Her face full of confusion, she stared at Xuexue: “Elder sister, this matter wasn’t done by you, was it?”
Xuexue sneered, her words laced with sarcasm: “Second sister, you think too highly of . The maid just said it was a skeleton head in the well, I have only returned to the General’s Mansion for so few days! Can such a short period turn a living person into a skeleton head?”
Hearing this, Situ Qinger’s face changed, as if she rembered sothing, she turned her head towards Lady Tang: “Mother?”
