Chapter 864: Broad-minded
Situ Qinger’s face stiffened for a moment and she quickly explained: "Grandmother, it happened so suddenly, Qinger didn’t react in time and accidentally pushed you down. After all, it’s all my elder sister’s fault; she’s in charge now but she didn’t manage the signboard properly, allowing it to fall from above."
In the end, she even spoke coquettishly, "Grandmother, really, Qinger is not to blame, such a reaction is human instinct."
"Human instinct?"
"Yes, when I’m scared, my feet just automatically run. Qinger can’t control it, grandmother, Qinger knows she was wrong, please don’t be mad at Qinger." Situ Qinger pouted and acted spoiled.
In the past, this trick had worked very well with the Old Madam.
Unfortunately, she saw the Old Madam’s tolerance as too broad.
In fact, the Old Madam who had narrowly escaped death was not so generous.
"You... you still justify yourself? In a critical moment, you ran away and left your grandmother behind. This is the first time Xuexue met her grandmother, yet she knew to run over to protect her. And you? You’re still looking for excuses." At this moment, the Old Madam felt resentful towards Situ Qinger, but her feelings towards Xuexue had somewhat changed.
