Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: Miss, There’s Good News

By the time they returned to the General’s Mansion, night had already fallen.

As soon as Xuexue stepped into the General’s Mansion, she was stopped by a servant.

"Young Lady, the Old Master requests your presence."

Xuexue was momentarily stunned but quickly realized that the matter of the elderly woman fainting must have alarmed him, prompting him to discuss the situation with the Mo family.

"Alright, noted!" Xuexue replied briskly, changing direction and heading toward Situ Yongjie’s courtyard.

Zi Xia followed closely behind Xuexue.

At this Shichen, Situ Yongjie usually spent his time reading or practicing calligraphy in his study.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Xuexue arrived at the door and knocked lightly a few times. "Father, it’s me."

Situ Yongjie’s calm voice responded from inside, "Come in."

"Creak!"

Xuexue pushed the door open and entered, pretending to know nothing. "Father, what is it you need from me?"

"Sit down," Situ Yongjie gestured toward a nearby stool.

"Alright!"

Xuexue obediently took a seat and waited.

After Xuexue sat down, Situ Yongjie spoke thoughtfully, "Xuexue, what do you think about me and your grandmother driving the Mo family members out?"

Xuexue understood that Situ Yongjie was probing her to see whether she knew about the Mo family’s actions today.

"If they’ve committed wrongdoing, then punishment is deserved. They shouldn’t have pretended to be your flesh and blood. As for Grandmother and Father’s decision, I have no objections," Xuexue replied with steady composure.

Both in her past life and now, the Mo family had mistreated her adoptive mother and herself since childhood—she had no fondness for them. Even if they were to die far from home, she would feel nothing.

Hearing this, Situ Yongjie nodded appreciatively. "It’s good that you understand this principle. This course of action was forced by their behavior."

The earlier incident when the Mo family members cried and wailed in the streets had already caused a sensation throughout the Capital, tarnishing his reputation to some degree.

"Xuexue, letting them continue making a scene in the streets isn’t a solution. Tomorrow, take some Silver and give it to them, then have them leave the Capital immediately," Situ Yongjie suggested, wanting to avoid further trouble.

"Understood, Father," Xuexue complied without hesitation.

Xuexue didn’t disagree with Situ Yongjie’s decision; she accepted his instructions obediently.

The next day.

Close to midday, Situ Yongjie specifically came to Qingyuo Pavilion to remind Xuexue to handle the Mo family’s matter.

"Father, don’t worry. I was just preparing to leave," Xuexue assured him.

With her elegant purple gown, a graceful figure, and beauty of unparalleled perfection, Xuexue had captivated countless young noblemen in the Capital.

This was precisely what Auntie Tang and her daughter envied.

They feared Xuexue might marry into the Royal Family, elevating her status even further, which would leave them with even less chance of turning their fortunes around. After all, Xuexue’s attitude toward them had always been antagonistic.

"Good! I was just afraid you might forget, so I came to remind you."

"Father’s instructions—how could I possibly forget them?"

"That’s reassuring! Now, then—" Situ Yongjie had just started speaking when a commotion of hurried footsteps sounded outside.

"Young Lady! Young Lady!"

It was Zi Xia’s excited voice. Moments later, her figure appeared at the doorway.

"Young Lady, I bring good news!"

Zi Xia rushed inside but promptly froze upon noticing General Situ within the room. Her expression shifted from excitement to unease, turning flustered. She stammered apologetically, "Old Master, this maid was unaware of your presence here. My deepest apologies. Please be lenient with me."
