Chapter 1274: Chapter 1274: Replace a batch of servants

Due to having the same dream every night, where her mother screams in pain, revealing a face like a skull, she wakes up drenched in cold sweat each time. These past few days, she has visibly grown more haggard.

Since that incident last time, she hasn’t been to the Old Madam’s place. It’s not that she doesn’t want to go, but the Old Madam specifically sent someone to say that she’s feeling unwell and it’s not appropriate to disturb her, so there’s no need to pay respects. Situtu Qinger understands; the Old Madam is angry with her.

Old Lady Zhang, who had served her for decades, was carried out of the General’s Mansion to recover after being beaten. Judging by her injuries, she won’t recover in several months.

The Old Madam, served by Old Lady Zhang for more than ten years, suddenly found herself without her and couldn’t get used to it in daily life. Naturally, she was very angry. Additionally, regarding the bracelet incident, although Situ Yongjie hadn’t noticed the flaw, Situtu Xuexue escaped a disaster, and it left an unpleasant feeling in her heart. She also lost a capable assistant. She vented all her anger on the strategy Situtu Qinger suggested to help.

If it weren’t for Situtu Qinger insisting on choosing the bracelet as planted evidence, this incident would have been seamless. Yet she chose the bracelet, which was the relic of Xuexue’s mother. Wasn’t this courting death?

The Old Madam even suspected that Situtu Qinger and Situtu Xuexue might have colluded against her since she was the one who suffered the heaviest losses in the entire incident.

Thus, these days she is very repulsive towards Situtu Qinger, not even wanting to see her, feeling she is a jinx who caused her to lose a valuable assistant.

Because Old Lady Zhang went out to recover, other maids replaced her to take care of daily life, and she was very unaccustomed to it. These days, she has lost her temper countless times over minor issues.

On this morning, Situ Zhi, as usual, arrived at the Refreshing Courtyard, and just as he stepped inside, he heard the sound of things being thrown and the accompanying angry shouts of the Old Madam...

"You little wretch, is this scalding tea meant to burn me to death?"

Immediately after, there was another bang, apparently something being thrown to the ground.

Situ Zhi, accompanied by two servant boys, stepped inside.

The Old Madam sat beside the table, loudly scolding the maids kneeling on the floor.

Scattered all over the ground were many things, indicating the Old Madam had just thrown a tantrum.

The maids knelt on the floor with faces filled with panic and continuously kowtowed to the Old Madam, "Old Madam, spare us. This servant didn’t do it on purpose."

Since the incident with Old Lady Zhang, the servants in the courtyard seemed to be living in Hell, not daring to breathe loudly for fear of displeasing the Old Madam.

Unexpectedly, the Old Madam was fierce herself, always finding issues to rail against, even scolding them for food being too hot or too cold.

The ornaments in the courtyard were almost all smashed by her.

Situ Zhi stepped forward, speaking innocently, "Grandmother, what’s the matter? Have these servants upset you again?"

"Exactly, they can’t do anything right. Even pouring a cup of tea displeases me, it’s infuriating." Seeing Situ Zhi enter, the Old Madam’s expression softened slightly.

"If they’re so unsatisfactory, you should sell them off and replace them with a new batch of servants."

"That’s not acceptable; if I switch to newcomers, they’ll be even more unsatisfactory." The Old Madam shook her head, knowing in her heart that her bad mood was why she was deliberately taking it out on these servants.

Situ Zhi spoke to the kneeling maids, "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and clean the room; it’s filthy everywhere. Do you really want to be sold?"
