Chapter 1298: Stubborn

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: Stubborn

"You are his father. He made a mistake, so you also have a responsibility," the Old Madam said, also becoming angry.

Situ Zhi was not like this when he was little. He was such a good child, but in a few years’ time, he completely changed. She was kept in the dark until recently, when so many ghosts suddenly appeared in the mansion, and only then did she understand what was going on.

Auntie Tang, that wretched woman, truly deserves to die. Situ Zhi was raised by her hand, and yet she turned her own son into this. It’s truly unfortunate for the family.

The Old Madam was filled with hatred though Auntie Tang was already dead, so pursuing it further was useless. Moreover, Situ Zhi having killed the Chief of Staff’s daughter was a fact; anger would not help.

Facing the unreasonable Old Madam.

Situ Yongjie expressed his helplessness and couldn’t help but frown as he said, "Mother, I work tirelessly for the country day and night, and isn’t it you all who handle the affairs at home? How can you blame me for this?"

The Old Madam was at a loss for words, but felt indignant and said, "In the end, it’s all Tang’s fault, that vile woman, who turned a perfectly good child into this."

The Old Madam forgot that she was also responsible for Situ Zhi’s current temperament, but now she pushed all the blame onto the deceased Auntie Tang, which seemed unreasonable.

"Mother, whatever we say now is too late. We should still discuss how to handle Zhizhi’s matter properly."

"Yes, yes."

With the funeral at the Ministerial Mansion about to be over, Situ Zhi’s life was at stake. Saving him was an urgent matter.

The Old Madam’s mind recalled Auntie Li’s words and she looked hopefully at Situ Zhi, saying, "Jiejie, you are employed under the War Prince. He has always treated you well. We are very distressed by this incident, and Zhizhi must not come to harm. He is the only male in our General’s Mansion. Otherwise, why don’t you go and ask the Prince for help? Do you think that can work?"

"The Prince?"

Situ Yongjie was momentarily stunned. Yes, how did he forget the Prince?

The War Prince has immense power, and even the Emperor is wary of him. If he steps in for this matter, it will definitely be well resolved.

"But the Prince’s health has not been good lately, and I’m afraid of disturbing him."

Recently, there have been frequent reports from the War Prince’s Mansion about the Prince’s grave health, causing the people to be very worried, fearing that he may not pull through, and Moli Country would fall back into the chaos of war.

"Oh dear, what time is it now? What are you hesitating about? If you hesitate any longer, Zhizhi’s life will be gone."

Situ Yongjie was slow-paced, causing the Old Madam to anxiously pace about. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit her, as if she remembered something, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Situ Yongjie, "Jiejie, isn’t the Prince sick?"

"Yes, what’s up?"

"Why don’t we marry Xuexue to him to lift his spirits?"

Hearing the Old Madam’s words, Situ Yongjie was a bit dumbfounded, almost doubting if he heard it right, "Mother, what are you saying?"

Ever since Situtu Xueer returned to the mansion, Situ Yongjie, out of guilt, has been very caring towards her, even far exceeding the care given to the other children. The Old Madam noticed this, and was quite displeased, believing that no matter how good Xuexue was, she was just a girl, and he should focus his attention on Situ Zhi, the only male heir.

"You’re just being stubborn. After all, Xuexue is a girl who will eventually get married. The Prince is quite good, with high status and authority. Marrying Xuexue to him would benefit both her and us, wouldn’t it?"
