Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098 Sowing Discord

Situtu Qinger always holds herself high, looking down on Situtu Xueer.

Deep in her heart, she resents Xuexue for taking the status of the Eldest Legitimate Daughter, causing her to lose the chance to match with the Fourth Prince’s rank.

Because of her identity as a Concubine-born Daughter, she will never qualify to stand beside the Fourth Prince.

Hatred, overwhelming and suffocating, surged through Situtu Qinger’s heart.

Although, in public, she always addressed Xuexue affectionately as "big sister," in secret, she fervently wished for Xuexue’s death.

This truth had already been proven in their previous life.

Xuexue: "Don’t speak like that. Some people are born into supreme honor and receive excellent instruction, unlike me—a country girl who doesn’t know a thing."

"Miss, you are definitely the most remarkable lady I’ve ever seen. Not only are you beautiful, but you also know how to run a business. The young ladies from other families only concern themselves with dressing up. What do they know? None of them are as capable as you! You can even support yourself."

Xuexue laughed: "You’re the only one who speaks highly of your lady."

"Miss, in this servant’s eyes, you are the best lady. If it weren’t for that wicked Auntie Tang, madam wouldn’t have died, and your life would certainly have been different.

Zi Xia was deeply indignant; she hadn’t expected Auntie Tang to be so sinister, scheming to kill madam. This led to the eldest miss wandering outside for over a decade. Looking at the Mo family’s demeanor, the eldest miss must have suffered greatly these years. Otherwise, how could someone so young be compelled to start a business?

Thinking about this, Zi Xia felt heartache for the eldest miss.

After finishing her grooming, Xuexue first headed to the Old Madam’s quarters to pay respects and conveniently have breakfast.

Unexpectedly, Auntie Tang was present today.

She and her daughters were chatting and laughing with the Old Madam around the table. The moment Xuexue appeared, the room instantly fell silent.

The atmosphere turned eerily quiet.

Xuexue smiled: "What’s the matter? You all seemed so lively just now. Did I come at a bad time?"

Upon hearing this, Auntie Tang replied sarcastically: "What kind of talk is that, Eldest Miss? You’re the head of the family—you can go wherever you please. In the entire General’s Mansion, you hold the highest authority. Even the estate finances are under your control. We mothers and daughters have to rely on your mood to eat. What could ever be inappropriate? Anyway, we mothers and daughters have no objections."

Auntie Tang rattled off a tirade, each word dripping with provocation.

Although the Old Madam knew Auntie Tang was deliberately sowing discord, upon reflecting, it did seem true. Her expression shifted slightly. After all, Situtu Xueer was just a young woman. In the future, she would marry out—there was no way she could be allowed to monopolize the Situ Family’s assets. Auntie Tang had already set a precedent.

"Auntie Tang, why are your words so sour? If the General’s Mansion’s finances aren’t managed by me, the Eldest Legitimate Daughter, would you rather they be sent off to your maternal family?" Xuexue responded indifferently.

"You... You...!"

This wretched girl had deliberately touched a nerve, and Auntie Tang was nearly infuriated to death. She secretly glanced at the Old Madam and sure enough, saw her expression turn grim. Auntie Tang immediately dared not make any sound.

The Old Madam frowned: "Sit down and eat breakfast, all of you. There’s so much food yet you still can’t shut your mouths. Starting arguments early in the morning—don’t you know that a harmonious family ushers prosperity? Whether it’s the older generation or the younger ones, none of you seem to bring peace."

After Xuexue brought up Auntie Tang selling estate properties to help her maternal family, Auntie Tang finally learned her lesson, lowered her head, and silently ate her breakfast.

The servant presented Xuexue with her utensils.

The Old Madam sat at the head of the table, with Situ Zhi and Situtu Qinger seated to her left and right. Situ Dieer and Situ Yu sat a little further away.

Xuexue sat far from them, with only Zi Xia serving her.

However, she didn’t mind. After all, they would never be family in this life—only mortal enemies.
