Chapter 957: Chapter 957: Wronging the Good Person
Auntie Tang, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief when the Old Madam didn’t ntion divorcing her nor bring up her son.
“What are you still doing here? Hurry up and get out, I want to have a family chat with Jiejie,” the Old Madam turned her head and glared fiercely at Auntie Tang.
“Yes, Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law will take her leave.”
Auntie Tang, frightened to the core, couldn’t have wished more for the Old Madam to say this! She got up from the ground and left with her maid.
“Mother, I see that you look perturbed, what exactly has happened?” Situ Yongjie was keenly observant. When he first entered, he saw that the Old Madam and Auntie Tang looked off, but he didn’t inquire in front of Auntie Tang.
Although the Old Madam was not Situ Yongjie’s biological mother, she had raised him from childhood to adulthood, and he respected her greatly, serving her as if she was his biological mother.
It was impossible to conceal from Situ Yongjie, the head of the family, the discovery of skeletons in the garden. The Old Madam, thinking of this, decided to tell him everything that happened in the garden today.
Of course, she intentionally omitted that these skeletons were victims of Situ Zhi’s murders.
Although Situ Yongjie was also very affectionate toward his son Situ Zhi, as a Military General, he had particularly strict demands on him.
Helpless against the Old Madam’s protection, Situ Zhi treated his father’s teachings lightly, in one ear and out the other. Additionally, with Situ Yongjie often tied up with official duties and rarely at the General’s Mansion, as ti went by, he eased his discipline.
If he knew his son had beco a Demon Head murderer, it would be a wonder if that didn’t infuriate him to death!
With this in mind, the Old Madam dared not tell him the truth.
In fact, servants had already reported to Situ Yongjie the discovery of a large number of skeletons in the garden.
“Mother, our Situ Family has lived in the General’s Mansion for over a hundred years, and sothing like this has never happened before. Also, the well in the garden has only been sealed by Auntie Tang in recent years. Child believes that this matter definitely cannot be unrelated to that wretched woman,” Situ Yongjie, unaware that the Old Madam already knew the truth, analyzed the situation carefully with her.
That well in the garden, back in his childhood, the servants would often draw water from it for his bath. Rembering the amusing incidents of his younger days, the gaze of Situ Yongjie softened.
However, for so unknown reason, this well suddenly dried up over a decade ago and beca a deserted well, gradually being forgotten by everyone.
For the sake of her grandson, the Old Madam pretended to be oblivious, and put on a serious act as she nodded, “Mmm, that’s possible.”
“What do you an possible? Child sees that she must have done this,” Situ Yongjie argued. It wasn’t surprising to him that the Old Madam was still defending Auntie Tang as always.
Ever since Auntie Tang entered the General’s Mansion, the Old Madam had always sided with her, even putting her above the Main Wife, Lady Li.
Wherever the Old Madam was, the identities of Lady Li and Auntie Tang would be reversed.
The Main Wife beca the lowly Concubine, while the Concubine received the treatnt of the Main Wife.
Because Lady Li was virtuous and feared that Situ Yongjie would have a rift with the Old Madam, she never ntioned this in front of Situ Yongjie.
Having taken advantage, Auntie Tang was even less likely to be foolish enough to discuss it with Situ Yongjie.
