Chapter 1071: Misfortune at Home
"Smack...!"
The Old Madam swept the teacup off the table. Instantly, shattered pieces covered the floor. She pointed angrily at the nearby maids and old servants, shouting, "Are you all deaf? Didn’t you hear what I said? Go find that little wretch immediately! How dare you defy me!"
"Yes, Madam."
The Old Madam’s outburst terrified the servants. Normally quick on her feet, Old Lady Zhang immediately grabbed two maids and rushed out to summon Mo Xiuzhi for questioning.
"Mother, there’s no need to be angry. We simply won’t take her as a concubine."
Situ Yongjie stepped forward to placate the Old Madam. Mo Xiuzhi and Xuexue were sisters, and he already had some misgivings about the matter. Now, it was resolved completely.
But the Old Madam was deeply disappointed. She had been longing for her grandson, only to find out that he was a fraud, leaving her hopes dashed.
Especially over the past half month, she had gone out of her way to pamper the Mo family, granting them anything they desired—all for the sake of Mo Xiuzhi’s claim that she was carrying Situ Yongjie’s child. And now, the truth was revealed: Mo Xiuzhi was pregnant with another man’s child, scheming to trap Situ Yongjie. How could the Old Madam not be enraged? She felt utterly deceived.
Mo Xiuzhi waited anxiously and finally saw nightfall.
"Mother, hurry to the door and see if anyone has come to fetch me."
