Chapter 797 - Chapter 797 Chapter 797 Exiled to the Manor
Chapter 797: Chapter 797 Exiled to the Manor Chapter 797: Chapter 797 Exiled to the Manor Lady Tang’s face showed utter disbelief, “You little cheap person, the evidence is conclusive, yet you still dare to quibble?”
Xuexue wasn’t one to be easily frightened; hearing this, she let out a cold laugh, “Since Auntie Tang has conclusive evidence, then bring it out. Let Xuexue be entirely convinced.”
Lady Tang had a servant bring over a large bag of poisonous scorpions and centipedes and threw it in front of Xuexue.
Xuexue looked over and said with disdain, “Auntie Tang, are you out of your mind? You just bring over a bag of poisonous insects and centipedes and claim it’s evidence? Tell me, which scorpion has my name Situtu Xueer inscribed on it?”
Lady Tang’s face changed color; indeed, in her haste, she had forgotten this point. Suddenly, her face turned red and green, and she was speechless.
Situ Yongjie thought it was yet another one of Lady Tang’s schemes to ostracize Xuexue and was particularly furious, “Auntie Tang, do you have nothing better to do? Always causing trouble for Xuexue, it seems you are not suited to stay in the General’s Mansion. After breakfast, have the servants pack your things, and go to the manor to reflect for a while.”
Lady Tang’s complexion drastically changed.
To put it plainly, the manor was just a rural place, being sent there, one might not know when they could return to the General’s Mansion.
“Old Master, I have been toiling for the General’s Mansion for over a decade; you can’t treat me like this.”
“I’m doing this for your own good. You’ve made too many mistakes recently; it’s time for some serious reflection,” Situ Yongjie was very dissatisfied with her ever since Xuexue returned to the mansion and repeatedly faced Auntie Tang’s oppression.
“But, I am clearly the victim, why send me off to the manor, Old Master?” Lady Tang was filled with jealousy, why was Situ Yongjie always siding with Xuexue, just because she was that cheap person’s daughter?
“You keep claiming to be the victim, bringing up a few scorpions and calling them evidence, who are you deceiving? Do you really think the General is a fool?” Situ Yongjie did not believe Lady Tang’s words.
Indeed, having managed the General’s Mansion for over a decade, nearly everyone there was her follower.
For a maid like Xuexue, who had just arrived, it was lucky enough not to be targeted by her, let alone harmed.
Moreover, now that Xuexue was in charge of the General’s Mansion, Lady Tang certainly harbored resentment and plotting against Xuexue was not unexpected.
In Situ Yongjie’s mind, countless thoughts swirled with the idea that Lady Tang was the strong one, and Xuexue, the weak one.
Xuexue could not possibly be bullying Lady Tang.
Lady Tang was at a loss for words.
It seemed that this time, she had lost to Xuexue again.
Lady Tang looked like a defeated rooster, head drooping as she and the servants were about to leave.
Xuexue called out, “Auntie Tang, wait a moment.”
“What else do you want?” Auntie Tang stopped, glaring at Xuexue with great irritation.
Xuexue gestured with her hand, and Zi Xia from behind passed forward a pot of flowers, the very same one that Lady Tang’s maid had brought over yesterday.
Lady Tang’s face went pale upon seeing it, realizing that this little cheap person had seen through her scheme; she knew that the centipedes and scorpions that appeared that morning were no accident.
