Chapter 792 - Chapter 792 Chapter 792 Inexperienced in the Ways of the World

Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Inexperienced in the Ways of the World Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Inexperienced in the Ways of the World “Perhaps the Second Miss didn’t notice that the maid was merely carrying two pots of flowers. When the maid entered, she was still sitting by the desk engrossed in the accounts. After giving the maid a glance, she continued with the accounts, without sparing time to care about anything else.” The maid said respectfully.

Lady Tang nodded in satisfaction, “Very good! You may leave.”

“Yes.”

The maid was astute, closing the door as she left because she knew that if the Second Miss came to see the madam, they definitely had matters to discuss.

No sooner had the maid left than Situtu Qinger asked, “Mother, will this plan work?”

Filled with confidence, Lady Tang picked up a cup of tea and said leisurely, “With your mother’s skills, dealing with an inexperienced brat, what do you think, can it be done?”

“But that little cheap person is lucky. Daughter is afraid it will be like the last time we tried to poison her, she might escape again.”

Speaking of the last incident, Lady Tang was filled with suppressed anger. Not only did she fail to harm Madam Xie, but she also nearly lost her own life. Furthermore, because of the traitor Doctor Wang, who had betrayed her, Situ Yongjie had taken back her authority to manage the General’s Mansion. His attitude towards her had turned cold and distant, a full one hundred and eighty degrees change.

“It’s all Doctor Wang’s fault, I trusted him so much yet he betrayed me.” Lady Tang said angrily, that despicable man, since he left last time he hadn’t looked her way again.

“Since this man is unreliable, why not drive him out of the General’s Mansion, to prevent future troubles?”

“After all, he has served us for many years; treating him like that would seem too heartless and could chill the hearts of the other servants,” Lady Tang said, not quite believing her own reason.

The real reason, only Lady Tang knew in her heart. On the surface, Doctor Wang was her servant, but in reality, he was her paramour.

Situ Yongjie, due to his busy public duties, often went to the Border to fight wars, sometimes not returning for years. Every night that Lady Tang spent sleepless, it was Doctor Wang who kept her company.

Not to say it was out of love, but there was affection.

Therefore, Situtu Qinger suggested Lady Tang drive him out of the General’s Mansion.

Lady Tang truly couldn’t bear to do so, as Situ Yongjie often wasn’t at the mansion, she genuinely needed a man to vent her desires. Finding a new paramour, and fearing he might not be reliable and could leak secrets, was concerning.

A woman losing her chastity in Moli Country could have disastrous consequences, not just losing power but, given Situ Yongjie’s temperament, it might even lead to her being killed.

The next day.

Early morning, Xuexue got up early. The moment her feet touched the floor, she felt something move.

She looked down and immediately felt her entire body chill.

The floor was densely covered with scorpions and centipedes and other poisonous insects.

She quickly pulled her feet back onto the bed.

Luckily, she had the habit of sleeping with a light on at night. Otherwise stepping down would have certainly led to severe injury.

Being bitten by these poisonous scorpions would cost her half her life if it didn’t kill her.

“Zi Xia, Zi Xia,” Xuexue called out from the bed, loudly.

Zi Xia was her personal maid, who slept in a small room adjacent to her bedroom, conveniently available to be summoned.

In big households, ladies and madams could not do without the service of their servants, typically having them close by.

“Ei! Coming!” came Zi Xia’s voice from outside, rustling, probably getting dressed while hurrying over.

“Be careful when you come in, the floor is covered with poisonous insects.” Xuexue did not forget to caution Zi Xia.

Indeed, it was still very early, and it was very dark outside. Xuexue could see because there was a lamp lit in her chamber.
