Chapter 1216: The Large Red Coffin
At this moment, Situtu Qinger resembled a little sister at a loss, seeking her elder sister’s help.
Xuexue naturally knew she had ulterior motives. She calmly withdrew her hand from Situtu Qinger’s: "Second sister, you grew up in the Capital, familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, so you should understand better than elder sister. Although I grew up in the countryside and haven’t read many books, I still know that traditionally, once a deceased person is carried out the door, they aren’t brought back inside."
Seeing that the onlookers around were getting more and more, the entrance of the General’s Mansion and the entire street were completely blocked.
"Qinger is young, making mistakes is inevitable, you know!" She spoke in a slightly coquettish tone, clearly trying to get away with it through playing innocent.
Even though Situtu Qinger was smart and realized that today’s matter has already stirred the entire Capital, in order to bring down Xuexue, she was willing to ruin herself by appearing unsophisticated to make amends for her mistakes.
Having suffered losses in her previous life, Xuexue would not soften her heart: "This matter cannot be handled by elder sister. Second sister, you better plead with grandmother."
Situtu Qinger turned to look at the Old Madam.
However, the latter turned away, pretending not to see her pleading gaze.
"Grandmother?"
"If you dare to bring the coffin into the General’s Mansion today, you will no longer be my granddaughter."
