Chapter 1319: Wrath of Thunder
Immediately after, Auntie Tang spread rumors among the noble madams, saying the legitimate eldest Miss relied on the General’s favor and was disrespectful to her stepmother.
Although these were just trivial matters, the General’s Mansion was the residence of a high-ranking official in the Imperial court, and naturally, his family affairs were of public interest.
At the time, it sparked widespread discussion.
Situ Yongjie was ridiculed by his colleagues for this, saying that although he was imposing in the court, he couldn’t even control a woman at home.
Situ Yongjie was naturally very angry. After returning to the mansion, he harshly reprimanded Auntie Tang, saying, "Family matters should be resolved at home; why spread them everywhere?"
From then on, Situ Yongjie became even more resentful towards Auntie Tang.
And again, during Auntie Tang’s funeral, the whole Capital was filled with eery miasma, creating a heavy sense of death that unsettled everyone.
Indeed, it was unheard of that a funeral procession would turn back halfway, so inauspicious, let alone the fact that the body was even taken to Prince Pu’s Mansion and stayed there for a night.
What shocked everyone even more was that Prince Pu, who dearly loved his daughter, actually had her body cremated directly, which left everyone puzzled.
When the news reached the Imperial Palace, the Emperor was also very surprised. He knew Prince Pu too well, knowing that he cherished his daughter dearly and would only make such a choice in the most desperate situations.
