Chapter 957: Wronging the Good Person
Auntie Tang, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief when the Old Madam didn’t mention divorcing her nor bring up her son.
"What are you still doing here? Hurry up and get out, I want to have a family chat with Jiejie," the Old Madam turned her head and glared fiercely at Auntie Tang.
"Yes, Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law will take her leave."
Auntie Tang, frightened to the core, couldn’t have wished more for the Old Madam to say this! She got up from the ground and left with her maid.
"Mother, I see that you look perturbed, what exactly has happened?" Situ Yongjie was keenly observant. When he first entered, he saw that the Old Madam and Auntie Tang looked off, but he didn’t inquire in front of Auntie Tang.
Although the Old Madam was not Situ Yongjie’s biological mother, she had raised him from childhood to adulthood, and he respected her greatly, serving her as if she was his biological mother.
It was impossible to conceal from Situ Yongjie, the head of the family, the discovery of skeletons in the garden. The Old Madam, thinking of this, decided to tell him everything that happened in the garden today.
Of course, she intentionally omitted that these skeletons were victims of Situ Zhi’s murders.
Although Situ Yongjie was also very affectionate toward his son Situ Zhi, as a Military General, he had particularly strict demands on him.
Helpless against the Old Madam’s protection, Situ Zhi treated his father’s teachings lightly, in one ear and out the other. Additionally, with Situ Yongjie often tied up with official duties and rarely at the General’s Mansion, as time went by, he eased his discipline.
