Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 1189 Complaint

Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189 Complaint

The maid who just went in to report came out holding a small tray.

Situtu Qinger looked up...

On the tray were several types of pastries, some already eaten, while a few scattered pieces remained on the small plate. At this sight, she almost fainted with anger.

So, Situtu Xueer had been hiding inside having breakfast, while she was out here, hungry and pitiful, braving the cold north wind.

In all her years, she had never suffered such a loss.

Situtu Qinger was furious inside, but now, since she needed Xueer, she had to hold back her anger and couldn’t act out. If she offended Situtu Xueer, achieving her goal would be difficult.

Situtu Qinger struggled to suppress the anger in her heart, gritting her teeth as she said, "Elder sister, I’m out of rouge and face powder, I need to go out to buy some. Can you give me a token to leave the mansion?"

"Second sister wants to leave the mansion?"

"Hmm?"

Xuexue was quite straightforward, turning her head to Zi Xia she said, "Give the Second Miss a token."

Zi Xia looked troubled, "Eldest Miss, you forgot."

"What?"

"The General instructed that starting today, except for servants purchasing household goods, no one is allowed to go out."

"Oh!"

Xuexue feigned realization, patting her forehead, "How did I forget this? Father did say that starting today, no one is allowed to leave."

Then, turning around, she apologized to Situtu Qinger with a face full of regret, "Second sister, I’m really sorry. This is not elder sister’s decision; it’s father’s. If you really have an urgent matter and must go out, you’ll have to talk to father directly. Elder sister does not dare to disobey him."

Knowing full well that Situtu Xueer was deliberately toying with her.

Situtu Qinger had no choice.

After all, she was the one holding the financial power of the General’s Mansion; this is the power of the head of the family. If she didn’t want you to leave, she’d just come up with any excuse to brush it off.

"Elder sister’s methods are indeed becoming more skillful." Leaving a remark, Situtu Qinger turned and left angrily.

Zi Xia: "Eldest Miss, they always think of asking Prince Pu for help. If it’s discovered that there’s poison in Auntie Tang’s medicine, what will we do?"

"Don’t worry. Father knows what he’s doing; it won’t be so easily found out. Besides, they can’t even leave the General’s Mansion, how could they send a message?" Xuexue said with a smug expression.

"That’s true."

"Then what is there to worry about?"

"Eldest Miss, just in case, should I send a few more people to keep an eye on them?" Zi Xia was always meticulous in her work.

"Alright! I’ll leave this matter to you."

"Yes."

Eldest Miss trusted her so much, Zi Xia felt very touched.

After leaving Qingyuo Pavilion, Situtu Qinger was unwilling to give up and specially ran to Situ Yongjie’s courtyard to confront him, wanting to see if Situtu Xueer was lying to her.

If she dared lie to her, it would be the perfect opportunity to badmouth her in front of Situ Yongjie.

Maybe Father, in a fit of anger, would even take back the power of the head of the family.

At this Shichen, it happened to be the time Situ Yongjie returned from the morning court.

Situtu Qinger coincidentally encountered him at the courtyard entrance.

Situ Yongjie, dressed in an official robe, with several guards behind him, was walking briskly towards the courtyard...

Situtu Qinger quickly stepped forward, stopping him with one hand, "Father, you’ve returned from morning court?"

"Qinger?"

Hearing this, Situ Yongjie stopped his steps. Seeing Situtu Qinger, his expression turned somewhat peculiar.

"Father, Qinger wants to talk to you about something."

"Father doesn’t have time now, let’s talk another day." Situ Yongjie turned and walked away.
