Chapter 881 Truly an Unfortunate Family
At this moment, Situ Yu also entered. Seeing the Old Madam reciting Buddha’s name, she dared not disturb her. With a glance, her gaze collided squarely with that of Situtu Qinger.
"Hmph!"
After glaring fiercely at Situtu Qinger, she averted her gaze and stood aside to wait.
Her presence had destroyed the reputation that Situtu Qinger had always carefully maintained for herself. Naturally, upon seeing her, it was like enemies meeting—deeply envious—but in front of the Old Madam, Situtu Qinger didn’t dare to provoke trouble.
"Hmph!"
Situ Yu met Situtu Qinger’s piercing gaze with an equally fierce glare of her own.
Thus, silently, the two exchanged vitriolic looks as if their eyes were shooting daggers.
The Old Maid, the Old Madam’s personal attendant, watched the two sisters’ behavior and couldn’t help shaking her head. The Old Madam had always held Situtu Qinger in high regard; she hadn’t expected the Second Miss to exhibit such behavior in private.
The Old Maid didn’t know that Situtu Qinger was still young and had yet to experience much of life. Two years later, after rigorous training by Lady Tang, she would be wholly transformed. In terms of strategy, she would be peerless.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Old Madam finally opened her eyes. Without a word, she placed the Buddha Beads in her hand onto a pedestal in the Buddhist hall, then slowly turned around. She glanced at them ominously before speaking in a measured tone, "I heard that last night in front of the General’s Mansion, a grand commotion was performed. Is there any truth to this?"
Situ Yu, being younger, couldn’t contain herself and promptly burst out in defense, "Grandmother, Yuer can’t be blamed for this. It all comes down to blaming the Second Sister; she was the one who acted first. Yuer was merely resisting."
