Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Pushed to a Dead End Step by Step Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Pushed to a Dead End Step by Step “Madam Xie, what exactly happened back then? Tell me everything very slowly,” General Situ said.

General Situ had also been puzzled why his daughter, who had died over a decade ago, appeared a thousand miles away. What exactly had happened back then?

After the revelation that Xuexue was still alive, he had stopped trusting anyone, especially Lady Tang. If the death of his legal wife had anything to do with her, then she was truly terrifying. Pretending to care, she had been by his side for over a decade and often expressed her missed feelings for the late Lady Li. She even went to the temple to pray for her on the anniversary of her death, which turned out to be just a show for him.

Actually, the truth about what happened back then wasn’t very clear to Madam Xie either. Just before Lady Li passed away, she entrusted Xuexue to her, asking her to definitely take her away, otherwise, Xuexue would be killed by the treacherous people. She had also given her a bracelet, saying that when the general returned, she must tell him everything, as the general would ensure Xuexue’s safety.

However, Madam Xie had waited outside for the general for over ten days without his return, and with not much silver left, the inn became unaffordable. She had no choice but to return to the countryside hurriedly with Xuexue in her arms.

Madam Xie had indeed given birth before, but unfortunately, the child had died soon after. Xuexue and her child were only about a month apart in age, so everyone in the Mo family thought Xuexue was Mo Xiaoqiang’s biological daughter.

After returning home, since Mo Family Village was thousands of miles away from the Capital, and all the family’s finances were controlled by Old Lady Mo, Madam Xie rarely found a copper coin on her. There was no way to get the silver to go to the Capital to find the general. Thus, for many years, this matter had been dragging on without ever going to the Capital to see the general.

After Madam Xie recounted the cause and consequence, it turned out that she and Xuexue’s birth mother were cousins. Due to the family’s poverty, with the help of Xuexue’s birth mother, Madam Xie went to serve in the General’s Mansion. One day, while she was helping in the kitchen, Lady Li’s personal maid came running in a hurry, saying that Lady Li needed her urgently. She followed the maid quickly to Lady Li’s bedroom, only to find Lady Li in a very weak state, barely holding on, entrusting newborn Xuexue to her, and urging her to flee the Capital immediately.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yongjie sensed the deception and clearly knew that it was Lady Tang who had deceived him. The only other person close to Lady Li back then was Lady Tang. If Lady Li hadn’t been desperate, she would never have handed over her biological daughter to a servant and have her flee the Capital.

The more Situ Yongjie thought about it, the angrier he became. Over the past decade, he had treated Lady Tang with gratitude, thanking her for taking care of Lady Li in her last days. Even after her death, he thought of her as a person of deep feelings and loyalty. Who would have thought, it was all a facade.

Remembering the hardships his daughter went through, tears welled up in General Situ’s eyes as he approached Xuexue. “My girl, you’ve suffered a lot.”

As her biological father in her previous life, Situ Yongjie had been quite good to her. However, she had been blinded by Lady Tang and her daughter, always speaking on their behalf, and often advising Situ Yongjie that since her mother had passed away, he shouldn’t blame Lady Tang anymore, claiming they were all family. Gradually, Situ Yongjie was very disappointed in her, and their relationship grew distant, and he cared less about her, leaving everything to be managed by Lady Tang.

Lady Tang and her daughter were cunning and vicious, seemingly treating her well to her face but behind her back, using her as a stepping stone for Situtu Qinger, pushing her towards a dead end while she remained clueless, treating them as her family until the moment of her death when she finally understood the truth.
