Chapter 1309: Chapter 1309: Betrothal Gifts

Situ Zhi’s reaction was too intense, which frightened Situ Yu: "What are you doing? I’m just saying, why are you so nervous?"

Situ Zhi also realized that his reaction was too intense and quickly sat down. However, he still pouted his lips in displeasure and said, "It’s true, everything about you, wasn’t it me who begged Grandmother to help make it happen? And now you dare to say I’m bragging?"

The bridal gifts sent by the War Prince’s Mansion indeed made people envious. When they arrived, the procession carrying the gifts stretched along half of Changan Street. Now the Capital is buzzing with this news. Situtu Qinger was also itching with anticipation. After thinking it over, she realized that in the entire General’s Mansion, only Situ Zhi had the ability to persuade the Old Madam to take Xuexue’s bridal gifts. So, her eyes rolled, and she immediately said to Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, Second Sister believes in your abilities, you can surely persuade Grandmother to take away that little cheap Xuexue’s bridal gifts."

"Second Sister believes in me."

"I do."

"Great, I’ll go to Grandmother now and persuade her to take away Big Sister’s bridal gift. Just you wait."

After speaking, he turned around and skipped out.

Situtu Qinger watched his back, her expression half-smiling.

Situ Dieer was a bit worried: "Second Sister, Zhizhi just went through that situation, shouldn’t he restrain himself a bit? If he goes to slander to Grandmother like this and Father finds out, who knows what might happen again."

"What are you panicking for? With Grandmother around, Zhizhi will be fine." Situtu Qinger was certain that the Old Madam would help Situ Zhi cover it up.

When Situ Zhi eagerly ran to the Refreshing Courtyard and explained the situation to the Old Madam.

Not to mention Situtu Qinger and her siblings being envious of Xuexue’s bridal gifts, even the Old Madam was very tempted. Such a quantity of gifts, she had never seen so many in her life, let alone the fact that there were over ten chests of priceless treasures. Initially, she wanted to leverage Situ Yongjie’s filial piety to her advantage and seize them for herself. But she underestimated Xuexue’s importance in Situ Yongjie’s heart, and ultimately failed.

At this moment, the Old Madam was already furious, and when Situ Zhi came to persuade her, she couldn’t help but lose her temper, and slapped the table with force: "Xuexue, that wretched girl, barely returned to the Capital for a few months and is already growing more defiant. I simply suggested safeguarding them for a while, and she refused, as if guarding against a thief. The more I think about it, the angrier I get."

"Grandmother, Big Sister, that country girl, is so stingy. She collected so many good things, yet won’t share a bit with us."

"Exactly, those not raised by your side aren’t as close."

"That’s right, wildflowers can never be as sweet as garden flowers. In Zhizhi’s heart, Grandmother will always be number one." Situ Zhi took the opportunity to flatter.

The Old Madam, who was initially very angry, burst into laughter upon hearing this: "You child, usually not paying attention in Private School, listening to the teacher, who compares themselves like that?"

"Why not? We who grew up in the Mansion are garden flowers, she grew up wild outside, she’s a wildflower. Wildflowers are never as fragrant as garden flowers."

Finally, vigorously shaking the Old Madam’s arm, he cajoled, "Grandmother, don’t you agree? Don’t you?"

The Old Madam was shaken to the point of dizziness and could only helplessly say, "Oh, my little ancestor, stop shaking. You’re right, right, is that good enough?"

"Hmph! She’s still a jinx, here to ruin our family on purpose."

"Yes, yes, whatever Zhizhi says is right."
