Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239: Eternal Separation Between Heaven and Man

Everyone discussed for a while longer before heading back to the mansion together.

Situtu Qinger, as she walked, reminded Situ Zhi, "Zhizhi, now we siblings are relying on each other for survival. You must not act as recklessly as before."

After their mother passed away overnight, Situ Zhi seemed to have matured a lot: "Second sister, don’t worry, Zhizhi won’t be as willful as before."

"I’m glad you understand. When you have time, visit Grandmother more often. Don’t let Xuexue, that little cheap person, take all the advantage."

"Understood!"

As they spoke, they had reached the middle of the garden, where there was a three-way intersection: one path led to Situtu Qinger’s courtyard, and another to Situ Zhi’s residence.

They paused, preparing to separate here and return to their courtyards to rest. After the commotion at the Prince’s Mansion, they were indeed quite tired.

"Zhizhi, go have a good rest. The past couple of days have been rough with Auntie Tang’s passing, and you haven’t slept well. See, your face looks thinner," said Situtu Qinger, who usually didn’t like her brother, now showing a rare expression of concern.

With Auntie Tang’s sudden death, they suddenly became orphans. The psychological shock was something only they understood; the previous competition and jealousy in front of their mother had suddenly turned into mutual dependence. No outsider could comprehend their feelings at this moment.

"Eh! Okay!"

Situ Zhi had just taken a couple of steps when he heard urgent calls from behind: "Little Young Master, Little Young Master, wait, wait."

About to leave, the three sisters of Situtu Qinger also halted their steps. Turning around, they saw an Old Maid rushing over from another entrance of the garden. Upon closer look, they realized it was Old Lady Zhang, the personal maid of the Old Madam.

Situ Yu said curiously, "Old Lady Zhang, what is she doing here?"

Situ Dieer added, "Yeah! We just got back, how did Old Lady Zhang already know?"

Situtu Qinger said, "It must be that Grandmother misses Zhizhi, right?"

Due to the matters concerning Auntie Tang, Situ Zhi had not visited the Old Madam these days. Now, with Old Lady Zhang coming over, it surely means she misses her grandson.

Taking advantage of the gap before Old Lady Zhang arrived, Situtu Qinger quickly walked over to Situ Zhi and whispered, "Zhizhi, remember not to offend Grandmother and try to please her. In the future, we siblings will have to rely on you."

"Hmm, I know."

Meanwhile, Old Lady Zhang had already run up to them, panting as she said, "Little Young Master, Little Young Master, the Old Madam calls for you."

"What’s the matter?"

"Haven’t seen you for days, the Old Madam misses you. Little Young Master, quickly go see the Old Madam."

"How is Grandmother?"

"Because of the matters concerning Auntie Tang, she hasn’t had much appetite for tea or food these days and has become quite thin. Little Young Master, the Old Madam listens to you the most; quickly go and comfort her."

After exchanging a glance with Situtu Qinger, Situ Zhi nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Old Lady Zhang greeted Situtu Qinger and the others briefly before leading Situ Zhi to the Refreshing Courtyard...

Watching their retreating figures, Situ Dieer said, "Second sister, you are right. As long as Zhizhi is here, we still have hope."

Situ Yu also nodded, "Yes."

Situtu Qinger smiled slyly, "Of course, Zhizhi is Father’s only son. As long as he is here, we have nothing to worry about."

Only after their figures completely disappeared did the three sisters turn and leave.

Refreshing Courtyard.

The Old Madam sat in the Taishi Chair, covered in a fur coat made of tiger skin. Beside her, on the ground, was a heater. The room was very warm, starkly contrasting with the cold weather outside.
