Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165 Return to Mansion

As Situ Yongjie was about to walk out of the main entrance, he remembered that Auntie Tang and her daughters were still following behind the Fourth Prince. So, he quickly stopped and turned around, shouting loudly at Auntie Tang, "Auntie Tang, we’re all heading back to the mansion. Why do you still want to enter the War Prince’s Mansion?"

Auntie Tang, who was about to enter the War Prince’s Mansion with the Fourth Prince, heard this and also stopped. She was in a dilemma.

Situ Qinger had always been fond of the Fourth Prince. Now having the chance to be alone with him, leaving like this would mean missing out on the opportunity.

"Old Master... I... I...." Auntie Tang turned to look at Situ Yongjie, then looked at Situ Qinger, her expression one of being caught in a difficult situation.

Auntie Tang looked indecisive.

Situ Yongjie was furious. This wretched woman was becoming more and more defiant of him, giving him no face in front of so many eyes.

"Come back." Another commanding shout.

In this era, men were superior to women, the husband was heaven. Even though Auntie Tang wished dearly to create opportunities for her daughter.

However, under the stern gaze of Situ Yongjie, she had no choice but to compromise. She reached out and tugged the love-struck Situ Qinger who was staring at the Fourth Prince, saying, "Qinger, let’s go back. Your father is calling us!"

"But...!" Situ Qinger protested, reluctant. It had been quite a while since she last saw the Fourth Prince, and now that she had met him, she didn’t want to leave so soon.

"Let’s go, your father is angry."

Auntie Tang, afraid she’d be rude in front of the Fourth Prince, pulled her arm forcefully, then turned to the Fourth Prince to bid farewell, "Fourth Prince, the Old Master is calling us mother and daughter, so we will take our leave first."

The Fourth Prince turned to glance at Situ Yongjie standing at the entrance, then back again, "Alright! You all head back first. Tomorrow I will visit the General’s Mansion."

Hearing this, Situ Qinger’s face lit up with joy, "Really?"

"Yes! I, the Fourth Prince, always keep my word and have never lied."

"That’s wonderful, Qinger will be waiting for the Fourth Prince’s grand visit at the mansion tomorrow." Situ Qinger’s eyes sparkled with affection, her expression tender.

"Good!"

The Fourth Prince, who already had a fondness for her, replied with a smile on his lips.

Receiving a satisfactory answer,

Situ Qinger finally left the War Prince’s Mansion together with Auntie Tang, contented.

General’s Mansion.

Just after returning to the mansion, Situ Xuexue was summoned by the Old Madam to the Refreshing Courtyard.

Xuexue knew well that it was surely because of the special treatment she received at the War Prince’s Mansion today, which aroused the Old Madam’s suspicion.

In the Buddhist hall, the Old Madam sat sternly below.

Usually, this was the place where she recited sutras and practiced Buddhism, and she rarely spoke here. Today was quite unexpected, as she called Xuexue here for questioning.

"Grandmother."

Xuexue was not surprised at all. Outwardly, the Old Madam appeared kind and benevolent, but in truth, she was a person who committed many wicked deeds.

These past years, she had been devoted to Buddhism, fearing that after her death she would descend to the eighteenth level of hell.

"Kneel down."

The Old Madam commanded with great authority.

In her past life, Xuexue was very afraid of her, but now returned through reincarnation, she was no longer scared, "Grandmother, Xuexue has done nothing wrong, why must I be punished to kneel?"

"How dare you be defiant. Grandmother will ask you, and you must answer truthfully."

Xuexue nodded, "Please go ahead, Grandmother."

"What is your relationship with the War Prince?"

"There is no relationship."

"Still dare to lie."

"Why does Grandmother ask this?" Xuexue feigned a look of puzzlement and asked.

"If you have no relationship with him, why were they so special to you at the War Prince’s Mansion today?"
