Chapter 999: Chapter 999 Shaless
“It’s all because of that wasteful wench that infuriated .” Old Madam glared fiercely at Auntie Tang.
Situ Yongjie glanced at Auntie Tang who was kneeling on the ground and asked, “What misdeed did you commit this ti to make Mother so angry?”
At this mont, Auntie Tang, realizing her actions had been exposed, did not dare to say a word. Like a defeated rooster, she just knelt there, head lowered, completely silent.
“I’m asking you, why aren’t you speaking? Have you beco mute?”
Situ Yongjie was sowhat taken aback, as Auntie Tang, usually sharp-tongued, had beco oddly compliant today, which was not her usual style.
Auntie Tang still remained silent.
“Mother, what exactly happened to her?” Situ Yongjie gestured towards Auntie Tang kneeling on the ground.
“This reckless wench committed sinful acts, of course she doesn’t dare to utter a word now,” Old Madam said through clenched teeth, seething with anger.
“What exactly happened?” It had been a long ti since he had seen his mother this enraged.
Old Madam handed a ledger to Situ Yongjie, “Look at this, this wretched woman has almost completely ruined our General’s Mansion.”
Situ Yongjie took it and went through it repeatedly but couldn’t decipher the intricacies within.
“Can’t understand it, can you?”
“Can’t understand it,” Situ Yongjie shook his head.
“This cunning woman, the shops that are circled in red ink, she has sold them already.” The thought of it inflad Old Madam further.
She had trusted her so much initially because she was Prince Pu’s Eldest Legitimate Daughter, well-acquainted with the world from a young age, unlikely to be swayed by gold and silver treasures, and thus she felt relieved entrusting her with managing the General’s Mansion. Who could have known that this despicable woman would beco the biggest traitor of their household.
To think that she quietly sold off their General’s Mansion’s properties to support her parental ho, what audacity.
“What?”
Situ Yongjie was also taken aback. These shops were ancestral properties. The Old Master had constantly reminded him to manage these shops well and pass them on down the generations. Now, Auntie Tang had sold them off without a second word.
“Did you truly sell off our General’s Mansion’s ancestral business?” Situ Yongjie’s expression was one of disbelief.
“Old Master, please don’t be angry, there was a compelling reason for my actions,” Auntie Tang crawled forward a few steps and clung to Situ Yongjie’s legs, bursting into loud sobs.
“Even if there were reasons, you shouldn’t have sold the family property; that was the only legacy my father left .” Situ Yongjie was extrely angry, he felt like slapping this shaless woman who dared to sell off his family’s estate.
“Old Master, please don’t be angry, I realize my mistake.”
“What use is realizing your mistake now? Can the family property be returned?”
“If worst cos to worst, when my father has money, he can pay you back, okay?”
Situ Yongjie sneered, his voice filled with mockery: “When exactly? In ten years? Twenty years? Or perhaps a century from now?”
“Old Master, please, don’t be like this. I have managed the General’s Mansion for over a decade; I may lack contributions, but surely my hard work matters too. You can’t treat this way just for one mistake,” Auntie Tang picked up a small handkerchief, dabbing her tears while speaking.
Old Madam laughed scornfully, “Jiejie, just look at this shaless woman; even though she did wrong, she still speaks so boldly, utterly shaless.”
Situ Yongjie: “Mother, please don’t be angry. Tomorrow, I’ll take people to Prince Pu’s Mansion and retrieve what belongs to us.”
Upon hearing this, Auntie Tang beca anxious, “What are you thinking of doing? My parents are frail and ill, please don’t frighten them to death.”
