Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028 Three Aunts and Old Granny Liu

Watching their demeanor of currying favor with those in power, Xuexue curled her lips and let out a cold laugh...

Who is Zhang Ruixuan?

He is none other than the illustrious Fourth Prince, born of the Empress, and raised within the vast dye vat that is the Imperial Palace.

Having played with conspiracies and intrigues since childhood, these petty characters dream to latch onto his power. They could easily be crushed without discussion. Moreover, they are so insignificant that they don’t even qualify to be pawns.

How could the Fourth Prince possibly take them seriously?

Xuexue collected her thoughts and asked coldly, "Old Madam Mo, you just told the Fourth Prince’s guard that you are the master of the Mansion. What exactly is going on?"

"Giggle! You child, how can you speak like that in front of the Fourth Prince? You are the Eldest Legitimate Daughter of the General’s Mansion, and I am your grandmother. If I am not the master, could it be that I am a servant?" Old Lady Mo scolded with a glance, feigning closeness to Xuexue.

"Old Madam Mo, by speaking in such a manner, others might misunderstand. Besides, the rightful Old Madam is still alive and well. You keep referring to yourself as the grandmother; how would my real grandmother feel about it?" Xuexue glared at her without a speck of politeness. This old hag had always bullied her and her mother back in Mo Family Village.

Old Lady Mo’s face changed colors.

Situtu Xueer was not giving her any face, and dared to ridicule her in front of the Fourth Prince. She couldn’t be blamed for showing no mercy now.

"Xuexue! It wasn’t easy for grandmother to raise you. You shouldn’t deny your grandmother," Old Lady Mo said in an aggrieved tone while lowering her head and lifting her arm to wipe away tears.

Xuexue really wanted to laugh. Over the past few days, she had sent people to verify that indeed these people from the Mo family were invited by Auntie Tang from Mo Family Village to address her specifically.

"Old Madam Mo, what are you doing? Who said anything about not acknowledging you?"

"You’ve even changed your form of address, and yet you claim to acknowledge your grandmother?" She remembered that when Xuexue had first entered, she hadn’t addressed her this way.

Old Master Mo stepped forward and pulled her aside: "Old woman, the Fourth Prince is here! Don’t make a fuss."

Old Lady Mo forcefully shook off his arm, thinking to herself that he knew nothing. Without acting this way, when would she ever get her hands on that one thousand taels of gold? And on top of that, her grandson’s future was all wagered on Auntie Tang. If they didn’t ruin Xuexue’s reputation, the Mo family would never grasp a chance for prominence.

"It’s precisely because the Fourth Prince is here that I want things to be clear."

"What do you want?"

"I want the Fourth Prince to stand up for us," Old Lady Mo declared, then turned to kneel before the Fourth Prince, wailing loudly, "Fourth Prince! You must stand up for this old woman!"

The Fourth Prince, who had intended to win Xuexue’s favor, wouldn’t offend her.

"Miss Situ, what do you think...?"

Xuexue, nonchalant, waved her hand: "Do as you please."

Because he knew that the Fourth Prince was a petty man who would not stir without profit.

He longed to control the General’s Mansion, to have Situ Yongjie’s troops at his command, in order to secure his place as the Crown Prince.

The easiest way was to target her, the Eldest Legitimate Daughter.

Therefore, no matter how much Old Lady Mo pleaded, the Fourth Prince would never help her against his own interests.

After all, the Fourth Prince was very clear about what mattered more.

In the eyes of the Fourth Prince, such petty people like Old Lady Mo were not worth his attention.

Old Lady Mo stealthily looked up and saw that the Fourth Prince was inquiring something from Situtu Xueer, which made her heart skip a beat. If that little wretch managed to charm the Fourth Prince, how could she help Auntie Tang deal with her?

"Oh, boo-hoo! Xuexue! It’s not that grandmother wishes to accuse you of being unfilial, but the rumors in the village are too damning. The neighborhood gossips say that you, unmarried, have been involved with a man, certainly not a good sign. Before coming to the capital, they warned me to be wary of you, to prevent any disgraceful actions. Grandmother does this for your own good."
