Chapter 1210: Chapter 1210: Relentless

Situtu Qinger calmly leaned to the side and whispered to Situ Zhi, who was looking at him with teary eyes, feeling both pain and resentment, gritting his teeth, and said softly: "Zhizhi, listen to what everyone is saying. Second Sister is doing this for your own good. Now that mother is gone, we siblings still have to live on."

"But you didn’t have to pinch me so hard; it almost killed me."

Situ Zhi raised his arm and randomly wiped the tears and snot off his face. Second Sister was way too ruthless. He probably had a huge bruise on his waist. If they were going to pretend, she should have at least warned him. Yet, she pinched him without any warning, way too harsh.

"If Second Sister doesn’t pinch hard, can you cry like that? Honestly, Second Sister’s painstaking efforts, you haven’t felt a bit of it."

"But at least inform me first."

"Informing you wouldn’t have had the same effect."

Situ Zhi secretly glanced around. Everyone was looking at him with approving eyes, and he couldn’t help but feel delighted inside. Second Sister was indeed right; everyone was praising him for his filial piety. So he cried even louder, wailing while crying: "Oh mother! You died so tragically! Your son is too young to protect you. If you have a spirit in heaven, wait for Zhizhi to grow up, and I will definitely avenge you."

Rumor had it that Auntie Tang died suddenly, even though Prince Pu didn’t believe it and reported to the authorities, asking the coroner to examine the body, it still verified this claim.

As Situ Zhi wailed, everyone began to discuss again...

"Weren’t people saying that Auntie Tang died suddenly? Why is the Little Young Master now saying she was killed?"

"Who knows what goes on inside wealthy families."

"Yes, Prince Pu even went around saying that the Eldest Miss caused Auntie Tang’s death. How is that possible? Eldest Miss is just a little girl and just returned from the countryside. There’s no way she could be so bold."

"For the sake of wealth and glory, it’s hard to say."

Everyone had different opinions.

Situtu Qinger felt a secret delight in her heart. This little cheap person, Xuexue, wanted to clear herself of responsibility in their mother’s death, but there was no way she would let that happen. She would seize this opportunity to ruin Situtu Xueer’s reputation.

The funeral procession was grand and was about to exit the city gates.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind...

"Dada...!"

Then a rough voice sounded: "Wait a moment, Second Miss, wait a moment."

Since Auntie Tang was just a concubine, her status was too low to allow Situ Yongjie, the head of the family, to attend, and Xuexue was also of legitimate birth, so according to customs, she didn’t need to attend the funeral.

In the funeral procession, only Situtu Qinger held the highest status.

Upon hearing this, she stopped her footsteps and turned to look back...

It turned out to be the steward from Prince Pu’s Mansion rushing over. She was very puzzled; her grandfather had just been seriously injured yesterday, and today he let the steward come over. What urgent matter could not wait for her mother to be buried first?

"Dada...!"

"Whoa...!"

"Neeeigh...! The horse let out a neigh and stopped beside Situtu Qinger.

The rough voice said anxiously, "Second Miss, Prince Pu orders you not to be too hasty in burying the concubine."

Situtu Qinger looked around, the city gate was right ahead, and the funeral procession was about to exit the city. To say now not to bury, that was too...

Moreover, to carry the dead back to the General’s Mansion in the middle of the way was extremely inauspicious. From ancient times to the present, there’s never been word of such a thing where the deceased being burried is carried back.

At that time, father would definitely have a huge opinion of her. How would they, the siblings, continue to live in the General’s Mansion?
