Chapter 1193: Playing Dumb
"Oh!"
Situ Yongjie glanced over, his tone clearly tinged with amusement: "What heaven-defying thing did Xuexue do? Does she need to carry thorns and apologize?"
"She just did a good deed in your name."
"What good deed?"
In fact, Situ Yongjie understood in his heart that Xuexue had definitely come over due to the house-wide restriction order from this morning. Still, what puzzled him the most was that Xuexue claimed she did a good thing; why didn’t he feel that way? He thought, this daughter was indeed arguing irrationally—doing something wrong in his name and still claiming to do a good deed for him?
Situ Yongjie was curious to hear what absurd explanation Xuexue might give.
"Isn’t it obvious? I’m covering your tracks for you!"
"Oh? And why would you say that?"
Situ Yongjie frowned, wondering what he did that required his daughter to cover for him. As a father, he should know nothing about it.
"Father, every day you’re busy with public affairs, you probably don’t know that Auntie Tang suspects you’ve poisoned her herbal medicine and is trying to find a way to bring Prince Pu over for help."
