Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Situ Yongjie Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Situ Yongjie “You wretch, even now, you continue to deceive me. Let me tell you, I will not let this go. I will investigate until everything is clear, and when that time comes, I will not spare you,” General Situ said furiously as he strode away.
Situ Yongjie and his legal wife, Lady Li, shared a deep affection. That year, he had been away from home for only half a month when she suddenly passed away, which had also raised his suspicions.
However, beside Lady Tang, there was no one else around her.
Moreover, after Lady Li’s death, Lady Tang was morose and full of self-blame, even shutting herself away for half a year to reflect. She said she wanted to burn incense and pray every day to bless her deceased sister, that after death, both mother and daughter could enter heaven.
Situ Yongjie appreciated her sisterly affection toward his legal wife and, breaking with convention, he made her his principal wife. Unexpectedly, today a portrait in the hands of the War Prince completely shattered his peace of mind. He was furious, feeling as if he had been played by a woman all these years like a fool.
“Old Master, Old Master, I am truly innocent!”
Lady Tang cried out towards the back of Situ Yongjie until his figure had completely disappeared, then she stopped, her face clouded with gloom.
Over the years, Lady Tang gave birth to three daughters and one son, and the family had lived very happily.
Since the death of Lady Li, Situ Yongjie had been disheartened and had lost all interest in romance. No other concubines had been taken into the General’s Mansion since then. It was a large mansion with her as the sole mistress; no wonder her days were comfortable.
“Father loved Mother deeply. Over the years, his devotion to you has been constant. Look at the nobility in the Capital, who doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? Don’t be sad. Just now, he was merely angry in the moment. Perhaps by tomorrow, he will regret it and come to apologize to Mother,” Situtu Qinger stepped forward to comfort Lady Sun.
Lady Sun said grimly, “You don’t understand. All these years, your father has never gotten over that wretch, Lady Li.”
“Don’t be angry. She’s dead, isn’t she? What’s the use of being angry with a dead person? Don’t make yourself sick over it,” Situtu Qinger advised while signaling to her siblings beside her to also console their mother.
“Yes, Mother, don’t be upset. You still have us! Look at our whole family, how happy we are! However good that woman might have been, she is still dead. What’s there to be angry about? Even if Father misses her, she is already lying in her coffin. Surely, Father can’t follow her into the coffin, can he?” Lady Tang’s son, only eight years old, spoke shockingly.
