Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 860: Chapter 860

Peacock Court.

After being rescued by the Fourth Prince, Situtu Qinger felt remarkably refreshed.

That day, as she was embroidering a handkerchief in her room, a maid hurried in, exuberantly announcing, "Second Miss, Second Miss, great joy, a huge joyous occasion."

"Situ Qinger stopped her movements, looked up at her, and asked excitedly, "What happened? Could it be that mother has returned?"

This was, apart from the Fourth Prince, the matter she cared about the most.

"That’s not it."

Upon hearing this, Situtu Qinger’s face fell, "If it is not about mother returning, what joy could there possibly be?"

Lady Tang’s return to the mansion was the only chance for her to shed her status as a Concubine-born Daughter, particularly after setting her sights on the Fourth Prince. Situtu Qinger felt the weight of her status even more; without being a Legitimate Daughter, the idea of marrying into the royal family was a fool’s dream. Not to mention being a main wife, even becoming a consort of the Fourth Prince would be very difficult without being a legitimate daughter.

After all, the Fourth Prince’s mother was the current Empress, which greatly aided his prospects of becoming the Crown Prince. Naturally, he would be extremely cautious in selecting his consort.

Thinking about this, Situtu Qinger’s resentment towards Xuexue deepened, gnashing her teeth in hatred. Before that little cheap person returned to the mansion, she was the Eldest Legitimate Daughter, the pampered girl of the General’s Mansion who could command the wind and summon the rain.

Once Xuexue returned, she instantly became a Concubine-born Daughter, and her mother became a Concubine. Previously, she had looked down upon such people, but now, she was ranked among them, how could she not hate this?

The maid, seemingly oblivious to Situtu Qinger’s gloomy face, approached again, gleefully announcing, "Second Miss, it’s the Old Madam who has returned!"

The Old Madam had always doted on the Second Miss since childhood, and now that she had returned, the days of the eldest miss must be numbered, at least that’s what the servants thought.

"What? What did you say?"

Situ Qinger looked up in disbelief.

"The Old Madam has returned, she’s almost at the main gate."

"The grandmother is back? Wasn’t she supposed to come back in a few days?" This sudden news was hard for Situtu Qinger to believe.

"It’s true, the eldest miss has already taken the servants to meet her at the main gate."

"That’s wonderful; grandmother has finally returned." Situtu Qinger put down her needlework, stood up, and said, "Hurry up and find me a new dress, I want to look beautiful to welcome grandmother."

Orchid: "Yes."

Soon, Situtu Qinger changed into a light blue pleated skirt and combed her hair into a beautiful hairbun, then hurried to the main gate with her maid, preparing to welcome the Eldest Madam back to the mansion.

At the General’s Mansion gate.

Xuexue led the mansion’s servants, lined up on both sides of the gate, ready to welcome back the Old Madam.

Just now, two house servants had rushed back to the General’s Mansion on fast horses, saying that the Old Madam would arrive soon and everyone should prepare to meet her at the main gate.

This Old Madam really knows how to make an entrance.

The people hadn’t even reached the gate when she had the house servants rush back to announce her arrival. Xuexue knew clearly, this old hag must be aware that she was now in charge of the General’s Mansion and was deliberately making things difficult for her!

Indeed, during her biological mother’s lifetime, the Old Madam did not favor her, and according to her foster mother, the Old Madam frequently made life difficult for her biological mother in the past. Now, with her daughter back, the Old Madam was certainly not pleased.

The reality was indeed so; in her past life, after Xuexue returned to the mansion, she indeed faced endless harassment from the Old Madam, and if not for her being of some use, she might not have lived long enough to marry that scum, the Fourth Prince.

Recalling the past, Xuexue’s expression grew even more resolute. In this life, she was here for revenge, no matter the difficulties ahead; facing Buddhas she would slay Buddhas, facing gods she would slay gods.
