Chapter 657 - Chapter 657 Chapter 657 Qingyuo Pavilion

Chapter 657: Chapter 657 Qingyuo Pavilion Chapter 657: Chapter 657 Qingyuo Pavilion Indeed, Situ Yongjie, being occupied with official duties all year round and following the War Prince to the Border to fight, meant that although it was named the General’s Mansion, it was essentially Lady Tang’s domain.

Lady Tang had been rooted in the General’s Mansion for over a decade, possessing a substantial foundation. The servants feared her, even more so than they did the General.

Indeed, Lady Tang was formidable, mingling with high society ladies and young misses, appearing amiable on the surface to everyone. However, behind closed doors, she was ruthless, particularly with the servants. If she discovered even slight disloyalty in a servant, she would have them strangled to death, displaying extreme cruelty.

Of course, General Situ was unaware of all this, and the servants didn’t dare reveal a word to him, fearing Lady Tang’s retaliation.

Lady Tang nodded, “As the Matriarch of the General’s Mansion, even if that little bastard returns, she will have to call me ‘mother’. Her life’s major decisions are mine to control. Once I get through this period and the General lets his guard down, I can mold her however I wish.”

“It’s best that the madam understands this.”

Having grasped this, Lady Tang finally relaxed, lifted the small bowl, and finished the Bird’s Nest inside it. She planned to nourish herself well in the coming days to fully energize herself for Xuexue’s arrival, this little bastard.

Xiao Ting cleared away the bowls and chopsticks and left, ready to go out and buy some high-quality Rouge and face powder for Lady Tang.

Just as Lady Tang was about to take a nap, Situtu Qinger entered with a few maids.

“Mother, why did you give the Qingyuo Pavilion to that little bastard to live in? No matter how much I begged you before, you never let me stay there, and now, you’ve actually given it to that little bastard.”

Situtu Qinger, dressed in a light yellow pleated dress, stood gracefully, her features delicate and strikingly beautiful, making her seem exceptionally stunning as she walked in pouting unhappily.

Situtu Qinger was beautiful, and Lady Tang had high hopes for her.

On hearing this, she said, “My girl, you know your father will bring your sister back in a few days. She needs a place to stay, doesn’t she?”

Qingyuo Pavilion was the most luxurious courtyard within the General’s Mansion, previously inhabited by Xuexue’s mother.

Situ Yongjie had always been unable to let go of Lady Li, letting the servants keep everything as it was, periodically cleaning the pavilion, even the arrangements remained unchanged.

Everything inside Qingyuo Pavilion, each piece of decoration, was of great value, which illustrated the depth of Situ Yongjie’s feelings for Lady Li.

Lady Tang was extremely jealous and wished to take Qingyuo Pavilion for herself but, to maintain her reputation for virtue, she had to pretend to be generous in front of Situ Yongjie.

“That little bastard, just a village girl from the countryside, what right does she have to enter Qingyuo Pavilion?”

“Qinger, don’t speak rashly,” Lady Tang shouted sharply.

Lady Tang suddenly shouted, startling Situtu Qinger significantly, “Mother, what are you doing? Trying to scare me to death?”

Lady Tang’s expression was very serious, “Qinger, don’t say things like this in front of your father in the future.”

“Why can’t I? Dad loves me the most.” Saying this, Situtu Qinger was quite haughty, as her beauty indeed made Situ Yongjie dote on her enormously.

“That was before, now that your sister is back, he won’t treat you the way he used to. Qinger, you’re grown up, you need to be more cautious,” concerned that her daughter might suffer, Lady Tang did not forget to earnestly admonish her.

“I just don’t like that little bastard. Our family was doing just fine, what right does she have to barge in?”
