Chapter 682: Chapter 682 The Beautiful Young Woman Chapter 682: Chapter 682 The Beautiful Young Woman “Really?” Xuexue glanced at her with a hint of a smile on her lips.

Having just returned from the countryside, Xuexue was merely a maid in Lady Tang’s eyes; the latter barely took her seriously, nodding affirmatively, and said, “Of course, it’s true. The whole Capital knows about it. How could it be false?”

“Then how come I heard my father say that he never made you his main wife, and moreover, in the Situ Family genealogy, you are still listed as a concubine?”

With Xuexue’s gentle words, Lady Tang felt as if she had been struck by lightning on a clear day, and her complexion instantly turned ugly.

Indeed, that was the case. Since Lady Li had passed away not long before, Situ Yongjie had been indifferent to most matters.

The issue of becoming the main wife had been raised by Lady Tang herself, and Situ Yongjie did agree in principle. However, whenever she brought up organizing a grand banquet and notifying relatives and friends to witness her changing the family registry,

Situ Yongjie would always claim to be too busy.

And so it was. Each time military intelligence came in, Situ Yongjie would be gone for two to three years at a stretch, which was a common occurrence, leaving the matter of altering the genealogy indefinitely postponed and leading to the situation they faced today.

“There are details you don’t know about, Xuexue. You have just returned to the estate, so there’s plenty you are not aware of. Your father has already made me his main wife; changing the genealogy is only a matter of time,” Lady Tang collected herself and said slowly.

“It doesn’t matter either way, it’s none of my concern.” Xuexue smiled contentedly; she enjoyed seeing Lady Tang anxious and restless.

Xuexue beamed, “I never said that.”

Lady Tang’s face fell instantly, realizing this damn maid was playing games with her.

Just then, Madam Xie came over with a cup of tea, walked up to Lady Tang, and respectfully said, “Madam, please have some tea.”

“Hmph!”

Lady Tang snorted coldly, without a word, turned, and walked away, while several maids quickly followed her.

Madam Xie, holding the teacup, looked puzzled. She glanced at Xuexue and asked, “What’s wrong with madam? She was fine just a moment ago.”

Xuexue shook her head, her expression one of complete cluelessness: “Who knows, the rich have many quirks, no need to bother with her.”

“Could it be she found fault with me for taking too long to pour her tea? I was very quick,” Madam Xie pondered, trying hard to find fault with herself.

Xuexue: “Ah, Mother, stop thinking about it, I’ve told you it’s not about you.”

“Madam brought so many gifts, yet she left in such displeasure, it doesn’t feel right to Mother.”

“I’ll send some gifts back to her later, then you won’t have to feel uneasy.”

“That would be great! Mother can be at ease then.”

“You better get back inside. Father will be looking for you soon,” Xuexue said as she pushed her mother’s shoulders, nudging her towards the house.

“Let him look, it’s not like there’s
