Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221: Cunning and Devious

Situ Yongjie was also unsure, but being a General with military authority, he still calmly said, "Mother, you need not worry. Let’s quietly observe the situation."

"Observe what? If Prince Pu truly finds out Auntie Tang was poisoned and died, the General’s Mansion will definitely be implicated, and our reputation will be ruined."

"It won’t happen. Such a poison is rare in the world, and ordinary doctors simply won’t find it."

"It’s better to be safe than sorry." The Old Madam is a cunning old fox, always considering things thoroughly.

"Then we’ll respond to the threat with equivalent force."

"Why are you so rigid?"

The Old Madam was always anxious, calling them over to discuss, but didn’t actually expect any resolution.

Beside her, Xuexue was eating snacks, watching coldly with indifference.

This old woman was quite formidable when she was young. Now the older she gets, the more afraid she is of death. She even set up a Buddhist hall in the courtyard, showing how many dirty deeds she must have done when she was younger, harming many lives, and now she’s afraid of going to the King of Hell’s boiling cauldron. Pretending to be virtuous!

However, a wolf is always a wolf, never a sheep.

A few days ago, Xiao Taohong, who wandered all over the mansion, discovered a secret and excitedly came back to tell her that Situ Zhi fell ill and killed two maids in the courtyard. Upon learning this, the Old Madam actually poisoned all the servants in Situ Zhi’s courtyard to cover up his violence.

Situ Yongjie: "Mother, worrying won’t help. Right now, the initiative is in others’ hands. It’s useless to be anxious; we can only wait."

Xuexue elegantly put down the snack in her hand: "Father, you are wrong. The initiative in their hands is not absolute; we can also take proactive action."

"Xuexue has a plan?"

This daughter is too clever and resourceful. When Situ Yongjie heard this, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Xuexue.

"It’s a small matter; leave it to your daughter."

"Really?"

"Father doesn’t believe his daughter?"

"No, no..."

Situ Xueer had expanded business from Mo Family Village to the Capital. Situ Yongjie was the only one in the General’s Mansion aware of this, and he admired this daughter greatly. How could he not believe her?

"Since that’s the case, don’t ask too much. Just wait for the show tomorrow."

The Old Madam was puzzled: "Xuexue, what are you saying? What show?"

"Grandmother, I told Father we need to take proactive action."

"Action against what?"

Xuexue smiled and glanced at Situ Yongjie, then stood up: "Grandmother, you should ask Father." Then she spoke to Situ Yongjie: "Father, I’ll go back and prepare for the action."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Situ Yongjie looked delighted.

Xuexue, with Zi Xia beside her, slowly disappeared by the door.

However, in a place invisible to the naked eye, a little girl with delicate features was squatting beside the Old Madam. Her little hand supported her chin, and her big eyes darted around.

The Old Madam thought Xuexue left and believed only the two of them were present, so she spoke more freely: "Jiejie, if Prince Pu really finds out Auntie Tang was poisoned and died, then we must agree to put this matter on Xuexue."

Upon hearing this, Situ Yongjie was shocked and doubted his ears. How could the Old Madam say such a thing? He couldn’t help but ask again: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

"I’m saying, if things go wrong, have Xuexue take the blame for you."
