Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 1010 Conspiracy

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010 Conspiracy

Xuexue knew Situtu Qinger only thrived in chaos, thus she did not fall for her tricks!

Without uttering a word, she calmly walked to Old Madam’s side and greeted her: "Grandmother, Xuexue pays her respects to you."

"Hmm! Sit down." Old Madam nodded.

Actually, Xuexue wasn’t late; traditionally, she would come at this time to have breakfast with Old Madam, and it was precisely for this reason that Old Madam remained calm.

The old woman knew exactly what was going on!

Xuexue gracefully sat down at the table, picked up a piece of Lotus Seed Paste Cake, and slowly started to eat.

Situtu Qinger was focused on driving a wedge between Xuexue and Old Madam. Seeing her initial plan fail, she quickly thought of another...

"Big Sister, you truly lack filial piety, only caring for yourself and not even inviting Grandmother to eat."

"Exactly, a peasant will always be a peasant, selfish and self-centered." Situ Zhi, sitting beside Old Madam, scornfully scoffed.

"Grandmother, here, let your grandson serve you a piece of pastry." Situ Zhi pleasingly offered Old Madam a piece of cake, continuing, "Outsiders are always less dear, even if related by blood, what does it matter if they didn’t grow up beside you? Grandmother, don’t you think what your grandson says is correct? From what I see, we siblings are the ones who treat you best."

The implication in Situ Zhi’s words was clear; he was telling Old Madam that Xuexue, this granddaughter who had been lost among the commoners, was untrustworthy, and that their kin, who had grown up in the mansion, were real family.

And indeed, Old Madam highly favored this grandson of hers. Hearing him speak thus, she immediately nodded and said, "You are right, my grandson, you are the sole heir of General’s Mansion, the person Grandmother trusts most in this lifetime."

"Grandmother is so good to her grandson."

Situ Zhi smugly glanced at Xuexue, his expression one of triumph.

Xuexue, having heard all this, showed no reaction; having experienced her past life, she held no great expectations for the old woman and naturally was not disappointed.

In this life, her peaceful dealings with her were merely to avoid troubles.

"Grandson, you’ve gotten thinner, quickly eat more shrimp dumplings." While speaking, Old Madam helped Situ Zhi fill his bowl with several shrimp dumplings.

"Yes! Grandmother, during the days you and mother were not in the mansion, everything was managed by an outsider. I couldn’t eat well or sleep well; life was hard." Situ Zhi said pitifully, insinuating that Xuexue had mistreated him.

"Oh dear! Poor Zhizhi, but don’t worry, Grandmother is back now, there’s no need to be afraid anymore."

"Hmm! Grandmother is the best to Zhizhi."

"Of course, you are the treasure of General’s Mansion, who would Grandmother dote on if not you?"

"Since Grandmother is so good to her grandson, may I ask for a favor?"

"Speak, what is it?"

"Zhizhi loves Grandmother and mother deeply, seeing mother anxious every day, Zhizhi feels heartache. Grandmother, could you please let mother take back control of General’s Mansion’s finances?"

After all the circumvention, he finally got to the main point.

In front of Xuexue, he raised such a request, clearly showing that Situ Zhi had never considered Xuexue important.

"This...!"

Old Madam glanced at Xuexue nearby, her expression becoming troubled, thinking, Xuexue has been managing well without any mistakes, and if she was abruptly asked to hand over the finances of General’s Mansion, Situ Yongjie would undoubtedly confront her for it, considering his guilt towards this daughter lost among the common folk.

"Zhizhi, let’s discuss this matter some other time, isn’t your big sister managing well right now?"

"Not good, not good, she mistreats your grandson, only mother treats your grandson well, she should be the one in charge."
