Chapter 1156: Farce
"Qinger, what’s wrong? How did you fall out of the carriage?"
"Ah, wuwuwu!"
Situtu Qinger had fallen out of the carriage, her hair and clothes were in disarray, and there was a large bruise on her forehead. She looked utterly distressed. As she came back to her senses and noticed the crowd around her pointing and whispering, a deep sense of humiliation washed over her. Overwhelmed, she burst into uncontrollable tears.
"Don’t cry, tell Auntie, what exactly happened?" Auntie Tang, who was a clever woman, had since adjusted her address after everyone learned that her claim as General’s Wife was fraudulent.
Situtu Qinger glanced at the crowd pointing fingers around her, and in a moment of heated impulse, she immediately turned and cried out to Xuexue, who was just stepping off the carriage: "Auntie, it was her! She pushed me!"
As soon as she said this, the crowd erupted with surprise.
No one had expected the legitimate eldest Miss of Situ Mansion to be so malicious. She had just returned from the countryside and already laid a hand on her own sister.
Amidst the murmuring and whispers.
Auntie Tang reacted swiftly, instantly wailing loudly at Xuexue: "Miss! How could you be so heartless? No matter what, Qinger is your sister! How could you push her off the carriage? If something had happened to her, how would you expect me to go on living, ahaaaa...!"
With that, she began sobbing hysterically.
Situ Yongjie supported the Old Madam as they approached, his face darkening as he saw the crowd pointing at Auntie Tang. His General’s Mansion, a prominent name in the court, now had its women treated like a public spectacle. Naturally, this infuriated him.
The Old Madam, a proud woman herself, looked utterly mortified at the scene.
