Chapter 1166 Turning Against Old Madam
Xuexue looked at the Old Madam with a bewildered expression: "Aren’t they treating me so politely because of Father?"
"Impossible."
She was Situ Yongjie’s mother! Why didn’t she receive such treatment, but Xuexue did? The Old Madam felt neglected, harboring a bellyful of anger. She didn’t dare make a sound in the War Prince’s Mansion, but upon returning to the General’s Mansion, she felt like she was back on her own turf, and her tone grew harsher.
On the surface, Xuexue stood obediently, but inside she didn’t care about the Old Madam at all.
Although this old woman was a formidable character when she was young, she posed no threat now to her, who had returned reborn.
Facing the Old Madam’s angry glare, Xuexue still appeared gentle and obedient as she said, "Grandmother, Xuexue really doesn’t know what happened."
"Really?"
"Yes!"
The Old Madam circled around her tightly three times, her triangular eyes staring at Xuexue. She used to think this girl was quite honest, but the scene at the War Prince’s Mansion today changed her mind. Now, all the General’s Mansion’s wealth was under Xuexue’s control; it couldn’t be allowed to be taken by him.
Xuexue still stood motionless, letting her scrutinize her.
