Chapter 1295: Old Madam

Chapter 1295: Chapter 1295: Old Madam

Situ Yongjie knew that this time the General’s Mansion was doomed, and he couldn’t help but secretly hate the late Auntie Tang for failing to educate her son properly, bringing disaster upon them.

If it was his own son, that would have been better.

He just feared that the son was another man’s child, and he had been made a cuckold, implicating the entire family, which was a thought he could not bear.

Due to the sudden change, Situtu Qinger and her two sisters were panic-stricken.

On one hand, they went to plead with the Old Madam for help, hoping she would not give up on Situ Zhi, arguing that there was only one male descendant in the General’s Mansion, and if he died, the General’s Mansion would become a laughingstock as it would have no heirs.

The Old Madam understood this reasoning, but the Minister’s daughter was unreasonably killed by Situ Zhi, and the Minister would definitely not let it go, as could be seen from his attitude on the day of the incident.

The Old Madam was indeed worried!

Situ Yongjie had shut himself in the study room for the past two days, and the Old Madam wanted to discuss the matter with him, but she couldn’t see him.

Even when she wanted to see Situ Zhi and went to his courtyard, she was stopped by Situ Yongjie’s confidant, unable to get close.

Refreshing Courtyard.

These past two days, the Old Madam had been unable to eat or sleep, constantly worried about Situ Zhi.

"Old Madam, you can’t go on like this, have a bowl of bird’s nest soup to fill your stomach." Auntie Li from the kitchen, knowing the Old Madam had no appetite these past two days, specially stewed a bowl of bird’s nest and brought it over.

"No, I have no appetite." The Old Madam waved her hand, dispiritedly.

"Old Madam, actually, this matter is quite simple, why torture yourself?"

"Simple? Auntie Li, did I hear you right? Zhizhi killed the Ministerial Mansion’s daughter, and these past few days, Jiejie has been hiding in the study room over this matter, not seeing me. I’m extremely troubled, and yet you say it’s a small matter?"

These servants are really ignorant, do they think Jiejie as a general has a high official position?

One must know, the position of Minister of War is not lower than that of Situ Yongjie, and he holds an important position in the Ministry of War, which has always been most valued by The Emperor.

Auntie Li, who managed all the kitchen affairs, laughed meaningfully upon hearing this: "Old Madam, I think you’re so worried you forgot there is someone who can help solve this problem."

The Old Madam was momentarily stunned, not understanding. This matter involved high-ranking court officials, potentially large or small, and besides the current Emperor, there was probably no one else who could resolve it.

The Old Madam thought for a while, still couldn’t figure it out, so she asked, "Is there someone who can help us solve the problem?"

"Yes!"

"Who?"

"The War Prince."

"The War Prince?"

"Yes, Old Madam, think about it, the War Prince is the War God of our Moli Country and commands power throughout the court, with his power second only to The Emperor. If he intervenes in this matter, the Minister will surely give face, and everything will be smoothly resolved."

Upon hearing this, the Old Madam couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy. Right, Jiejie had followed the War Prince through countless campaigns over the years. If this matter was brought to the War Prince, perhaps it could indeed be resolved.

"Yes, yes, yes, go to Jiejie, have him quickly plead with the War Prince to help us solve this matter, then Zhizhi won’t have to die, wonderful, our General’s Mansion will have successors."

As the Old Madam spoke, she stood up on her own, even forgetting to put on her coat, and walked out eagerly.

Right now, it’s close to the Spring Festival, and it is very cold outside. The Old Madam is old, with a frail body, and any chill could make her sick, difficult to recover.

Usually, the Old Madam is very careful in caring for her health.
