Chapter 1190: A Basin of Cold Water Pouring Down
"Father, please wait a moment." Situtu Qinger lifted her skirt slightly with both hands and ran after him.
"What’s the matter?"
Situ Yongjie frowned with some displeasure. Ever since Auntie Tang had her incident, his feelings towards her children had changed; they all somehow looked a bit like Doctor Wang.
"Daughter wants to go out to buy some things, but eldest sister won’t allow it."
"Father is busy. Such small matters, just let Xuexue handle them." Saying this, he continued walking towards the courtyard.
Watching Situ Yongjie’s hurried back, Situtu Qinger simply shouted loudly from where she stood, "She said father gave the order that no one is allowed to go out these days. Father, is that true?"
Situ Yongjie paused, slowly turned around, and asked in confusion, "No one is allowed to leave the mansion?"
"Yes! Can it be that father doesn’t know?" Situ Yongjie’s puzzled expression gave Situtu Qinger great delight. Her heart leapt with joy as she thought, it’s really that little cheap person Xuexue spreading rumors. She’s done for this time.
"Father, you don’t know how overbearing eldest sister is. She frequently pretends it’s father’s orders and does as she pleases in the General’s Mansion, it’s really too much. This time she won’t let us go out, Father, quickly teach her a lesson."
Situ Yongjie paused in thought for a moment, glancing thoughtfully at Situtu Qinger, then cleared his throat and said, "This order was indeed given by father. Recently, the Capital is not very peaceful; if there’s nothing urgent, you shouldn’t keep thinking about going out." Having said this, he turned and walked away briskly.
