Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Moreover, can the financial situation of the mansion truly be this poor? He has brought back his official salary every month. Additionally, the General’s Mansion has its own businesses outside. According to their past income, they should have no worries in their next life. Yet, the Old Madam actually said the mansion is already struggling to make ends meet, which Situ Yongjie naturally does not believe.

Even without his share of the salary, the Situ Family’s descendants would live without worries for the rest of their lives just with the outside businesses.

"Mother, is our mansion really struggling to make ends meet? Isn’t that an exaggeration?"

"Jiejie, don’t you believe your mother?" The Old Madam looked very sad. This son had been close to her since childhood, always believing whatever she said. But now, he doesn’t believe her because of that little girl Xuexue.

"We have so many businesses outside. Who would believe we’re struggling to make ends meet?"

"Jiejie, haven’t you considered that your mother has never lied to you since you were little?"

Situ Yongjie thought for a moment, indeed she hadn’t.

Seeing Situ Yongjie silent, the Old Madam started to speak: "Have you forgotten?"

"What?" Situ Yongjie was momentarily stunned by the Old Madam’s vague statement.

"That wretched Auntie Tang, before she died, sold quite a few of our stores outside and sent all the money to Prince Pu’s Mansion. Now that she’s dead, that money is like a steamed bun thrown to a dog, never to return. Moreover, the stores she sold were in prime locations, while the remaining stores are in rather remote places, making no money at all."

After speaking, she sincerely added another sentence: "Jiejie! You are busy with state affairs every day, and I was afraid it would distract you and ruin your future, so I instructed Xuexue not to tell you about these things."

So that’s how it was.

After hearing the Old Madam’s words, Situ Yongjie suddenly felt guilty again. His mother was all for his good, yet he doubted her, which was really inappropriate.
