Chapter 945: Schemes Exhausted
Lady Tang was suddenly at a loss for words. True, Situ Yongjie was a man of deep affection. It had been over a decade since Lady Li’s death, and he still couldn’t stop thinking about her. Now that Xuexue, that little bastard, had come back, he had been extraordinarily kind to her, as if he had forgotten about us, his wife and daughters. Every chance he got, he would hover around her, seemingly wanting to give her all the best things, leaving us on the sidelines in anxiousness.
Situ Qinger also said: "Yes, Mother! Dad’s thoughts are all on that little cheap person, not even sparing us, his wife and daughters, a single glance. He knew you were coming back today but didn’t even come out to greet you."
Lady Tang’s heart was also not feeling great, but still, she had to maintain Situ Yongjie’s dignity on the surface: "Qinger, don’t talk nonsense. Your father is an Imperial Appointed Official, busy with official duties. He doesn’t have the time to come out to greet me."
Situ Qinger scornfully curled her lip, thinking that her mother was deceiving herself.
The mother and daughters talked as they walked into the mansion towards the Couple’s Courtyard.
Situ Qinger glanced at the dusty and travel-weary Lady Tang and suggested: "Mother, you should go back and freshen up before you go to pay respects to Grandmother."
"Yes." Lady Tang nodded her head. As the Old Madam was in the mansion, she, as the daughter-in-law, definitely needed to pay her respects.
Refreshing Courtyard.
Xuexue held several boxes of pastries in her hand, especially brought over for the Old Madam to taste.
