Chapter 1267: At an Impasse
How did Situtu Qinger know about the bracelet’s inscription? So, she had no choice but to look to the Old Madam for help: "Grandmother?"
The Old Madam glanced at her, knowing full well what Situtu Qinger wanted to say, but pretended to be confused: "What’s the matter?"
Situtu Qinger felt a secret resentment; this old hag was too good at pretending. However, the four siblings in the General’s Mansion still relied on the Old Madam’s protection and dared not offend her, so she spoke helplessly and softly: "Grandmother, you gave me this bracelet, do you know what inscription it has?"
Situtu Qinger put on an innocent face and threw the dilemma back to the Old Madam.
"Inscription?" The Old Madam tilted her head, pretending to think hard.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on her.
They all knew that the Old Madam was acting! But she was the ancestor of the General’s Mansion, and even General Situ listened to her. She was the authority of the mansion, and anyone who exposed her would be asking for trouble.
After a while, the Old Madam affectedly said, "It’s been so long, I’ve forgotten."
Xuexue sneered coldly, "Over time, does the inscription also disappear?"
"What Grandmother means is, Grandmother has aged and doesn’t remember lots of things."
