Chapter 1240: Chapter 1240: A Unique Flower

Old Lady Zhang hurriedly came in with Situ Zhi, and as soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed into the room...

The Old Madam sitting in the Taishi Chair couldn’t help but shiver.

The maid attending her was very attentive and immediately stepped forward to close the door tightly.

The Old Madam was getting on in years and couldn’t stand being tossed about. Every winter, she stayed indoors to keep warm.

As soon as Situ Zhi came in: "Grandmother."

"Zhizhi, come over quickly and let Grandmother see you. I haven’t seen you for several days; Grandmother misses you."

"Waaah...!"

Unexpectedly, Situ Zhi, after only taking a couple of steps, suddenly burst into tears.

The Old Madam got anxious, quickly rising from the Taishi Chair, and hurriedly asked, "Zhizhi, what’s wrong? Who’s bullying you? Hurry and tell Grandmother. I’ll take care of them for you."

Situ Zhi shook his head while crying.

"Oh dear, my little darling, what’s the matter?"

"Grandmother, Concubine has died, and I am heartbroken."

The Old Madam pulled him over, hugged him to her chest, and patted his back, soothingly saying, "Zhizhi, don’t cry; Grandmother is here!"

Situ Zhi buried his head in the Old Madam’s arms and cried.

The Old Madam’s heart felt shattered. Ever since this little darling was born, he had been treasured like a gem in the General’s Mansion, never suffering even the slightest grievance.

It was the first time she had encountered such a situation today, and the Old Madam was at a loss, only able to continually comfort him, saying, "Zhizhi, don’t cry. Your Concubine is gone, but you still have Grandmother."

After crying for a while, the clothes of the Old Madam became soaked.

Situ Zhier lifted his head, his face covered in tears, and said pitifully, "Grandmother, don’t die."

The Old Madam was stunned: "Zhizhi, what are you saying?"

"Zhizhi is afraid Grandmother will be like Concubine, not wanting Zhizhi." Having said this, he again wailed loudly, crying.

The Old Madam was deeply distressed, wiping his tears with her hand while saying, "Silly child, Grandmother is healthy! It’s not that easy for me to die."

"Zhizhi is just scared, waaah...!"

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Grandmother is fine, and besides, Grandmother is like a thousand-year-old turtle, not that easy to die."

Hearing this, Old Lady Zhang couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The Old Madam was truly amusing; to make the little young master happy, she admitted to being an old turtle.

Old Lady Zhang’s laughter was somewhat abrupt.

Indeed, with the grandparents weeping sorrowfully, her laughing out loud seemed utterly inappropriate.

The Old Madam lifted her head and gave her a fierce glare.

Old Lady Zhang immediately stifled her laughter, coughed twice to cover it up: "Cough, cough."

"Hmph!"

Afraid of the Old Madam getting angry, she also flattered her, saying, "Old Madam, allow this old servant to speak truthfully, the little young master is truly filial to you."

Situ Zhi was still weeping in her arms, and the Old Madam raised her head, asking, "How can you tell?"

"With Concubine just having passed, the Old Madam is now the little young master’s only reliance. See how much he depends on you, rushing in and clinging to you, crying loudly in your arms. He’s afraid the Old Madam might suddenly leave him like Auntie Tang."

With Old Lady Zhang’s reminder, the Old Madam felt even more heartache for Situ Zhi: "It’s all because of that damned wicked woman."

Indeed, if it weren’t for Auntie Tang and Doctor Wang’s affair being caught in the act by Situ Yongjie, he wouldn’t have been driven to eliminate Auntie Tang so ruthlessly, even willing to pay a high price for a rare poison to silently and invisibly kill her.

Today, Situ Zhi would not have been heartbroken.

The Old Madam was indeed peculiar, having ended someone’s life but still placing all the blame on Auntie Tang.
