Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 624 - Chapter 624 Chapter 624 Situ Yongjie

Chapter 624: Chapter 624 Situ Yongjie Chapter 624: Chapter 624 Situ Yongjie “Okay, okay, I as an old maid am not foolish. I know who can be offended and who cannot.” There were so many servants, and even the county magistrate personally accompanied them. One could tell at a glance that they were either rich or noble. Old Lady Mo was not foolish; she knew these high officials and nobles could not be offended; otherwise, for common folks like them, no number of lives would be enough.

“That’s good!”

After giving some instructions, the village head brought Old Lady Mo in front of General Situ, “Reporting to the General, this is Xuexue’s grandmother.” After speaking, he turned back and forcefully pulled Old Lady Mo, saying, “What are you standing there foolishly for? Hurry and pay your respects to the two nobles.”

Upon hearing the village head refer to the person in front as a noble, Old Lady Mo paused, as the village head had not informed her that the noble was a general. Instantly, she also became nervous and knelt with a thud, knocking her head on the ground: “This humble woman pays her respects to the nobles.”

General Situ glanced at Old Lady Mo and saw that this peasant woman was in a thin and frail state, common among the peasants, and thought nothing of it, nodding his head, “You are Xuexue’s grandmother?”

Meeting a high-ranking official for the first time, and from the Capital no less, Old Lady Mo was extremely anxious. Suddenly hearing his question, she didn’t know how to respond for a moment and stayed kneeling on the ground.

The village head stood behind her and, seeing the General speak and Old Lady Mo not responding, immediately became anxious, nudging her with his foot, whispering, “Hey! Old Lady Mo, do you have a death wish? The General is asking you a question!”

Old Lady Mo then came to her senses and quickly nodded, “Yes, General Old Master, this humble woman is Xuexue’s grandmother.”

General Situ Yongjie didn’t take Old Lady Mo’s negligence to heart. A commoner being fearful upon meeting a high official was understandable.

After traveling for many days, finally reaching their destination, and about to see his biological daughter, General Situ Yongjie was excited beyond measure, “You tell this General about Xuexue’s life from childhood to now.”

“Xuexue?”

Old Lady Mo was extremely puzzled in her heart. Why would this high official ask about Xuexue?

The village head, seeing her not speaking again, secretly kicked her again.

Old Lady Mo suddenly realized and quickly said, “Replying to the noble, Xuexue has been very well-behaved since she was little.”

That was the Xuexue of the past, but today’s Xuexue was no longer the same. However, facing a distinguished noble, Old Lady Mo dared not speak carelessly.

General Situ Yongjie became even happier. The smile on his face was undeniable as he muttered softly, “Just like her real mother, lovable.”

He glanced at the tightly closed gate of the Xie Residence and asked, “Is she at home now?”

“Yes!” Old Lady Mo also looked up at the gate of the Xie Residence, feeling extremely frustrated inside. Not having grasped the noble’s intentions, she dared not speak ill of Xuexue.

The village head, seeing General Situ Yongjie eager to meet Xuexue, quickly stepped forward and said, “Noble, how about I go ahead and call at the door for you?”

“Ah! Go on, go on.” Before the General could speak, the county magistrate waved his hand at him, very pleased, as the village head was clever and knew how to read the situation and act accordingly.

The village head agreed with a shout and rushed to the gate of the Xie Residence, knocking vigorously: “Xuexue, Xuexue, open the door, there is a noble at the door.”

Because Old Lady Mo had been knocking on the door all morning, the three women of the Xie family were thoroughly annoyed, even going into the house to avoid lunch to get out of sight and out of mind.

Chuner, that quirky little maid, simply ran back to her room, found some tattered cloth, stuffed up her ears, and was too lazy to listen to Old Lady Mo ranting.

Between Old Lady Mo’s incessant bickering, Xuexue and Madam Xie were also extremely annoyed and stuck small pieces of tattered cloth into their ears.
