Chapter 1065: Chapter 1065: Outsmarted by Someone

Situ Yongjie: "Someone, fetch Auntie Tang right away."

Within the time of half a cup of tea, Auntie Tang was summoned over.

Situ Yongjie slammed the bowl of medicine down in front of her and asked coldly, "Speak, what exactly is this?"

On her way over, Auntie Tang had already learned that her deed had been exposed. Upon her arrival, Situtu Qinger secretly signaled her with her eyes, making her heart even more certain.

"If the General already knows, why bother asking knowingly!" Auntie Tang did not intend to conceal anything; after all, in the entire General’s Mansion, she was the only concubine who harmed Mo Xiuzhi’s unborn child.

"You have some nerve, knowing it is the flesh and blood of our Situ family and still daring to harm it. Your heart is truly malicious."

Although their family had many children, male heirs were only Situ Zhi. In the eyes of the Old Madam, it was far from sufficient. Regrettably, for years, Situ Yongjie had not been able to let go of Lady Li and refused to take a mistress. Thus, the family had always been thin on male heirs. Now that Mo Xiuzhi was pregnant, Situ Yongjie would, of course, claim the child – if for nothing else, then for the bloodline of the Situ Family.

Auntie Tang’s face was filled with discontent: "She’s just a country girl; how could she be worthy of the General?"

"In my eyes, all of you are the same, with no distinction of nobility," the General, who had spent years on the battlefield, had a bold and grand character.

Hearing this, Auntie Tang laughed mockingly. She had almost forgotten that the little cheap person Lady Li had also come from low origins. Yet she had attained the position that Auntie Tang had long coveted. As a Commandery Princess of noble status, she desired but could not have. Her heart filled with extreme hatred towards Situ Yongjie—the man who had ruined her life.

In the end, Auntie Tang was punished with a loss of six months’ stipend and confinement to her quarters for a month, not to step even to the threshold within that time.

Dark-faced, Auntie Tang was supported by her children as she walked back.

Some rejoiced, while others lamented.

Auntie Tang left like a defeated cock.

But the people of the Mo family were overjoyed, for Situ Yongjie had publicly promised to choose a good day and then promptly take Mo Xiuzhi as a concubine.

Although taking a concubine did not hold the grandeur of a formal wedding, selecting a date was still a matter of great importance.

Situ Yongjie decided to discuss it with the Old Madam and, after choosing a suitable date, would then inform the Mo family.

The Mo family members were ecstatic upon hearing this. The wealth and honor they longed for was now within easy reach - it would be strange if they weren’t thrilled!

Qingyuo Pavilion.

"Eldest miss, when are you going to tell the Old Master about Miss Mo’s three months of pregnancy?" Zi Xia was incessantly concerned about this matter.

Indeed, Situ Yongjie had saved her life, and she did not wish for her savior to become a cuckold, raising someone else’s cheap son.

This era, being quite feudal, had strong taboos against such matters.

"There’s no hurry. Let them remain joyful for a while longer. It’s unethical to shatter someone’s beautiful dreams too soon."

The news just received from the Old Madam suggested that the tenth day of the next month was an auspicious date for marriage.

There was still half a month until the tenth of the next month!

Therefore, there was ample time to expose them, indeed no need to rush.

"Hmm, that’s good," Zi Xia nodded.

The Miss of the Mo Family was truly shameless. Without even being betrothed, she flung herself into affairs with so many men. She felt sick on behalf of the Old Master, to be calculated against by such a woman.

Luckily, it was discovered early, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Although the Old Madam looked down on the Mo family, due to Mo Xiuzhi carrying the child of the General, she had to accept her reluctantly.
