Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Old Madam Returns to the Mansion

The house servant who went to report clearly said it won’t be long.

But they ended up waiting at the door for a full two shichen, luckily, it’s not summer anymore but slowly entering autumn, and the sun is gentle, otherwise, everyone would definitely succumb to heatstroke.

Even Situtu Qinger, who arrived late, started to complain: "Didn’t they say it’d be quick? What’s going on with Grandmother? Oh my, my legs have gone soft from waiting."

While speaking, she also bent down to massage her legs, looking utterly exhausted.

Xuexue glanced at her: "If Second Sister is tired, then you can go back to your room and rest."

Upon hearing this, Situtu Qinger immediately straightened her back, speaking in an unfriendly tone: "Eldest Sister, what exactly are you implying?"

"Aren’t you the one who said you were tired? Am I wrong to suggest you take a rest?"

"You know Grandmother is coming back, and by telling me to rest, aren’t you trying to make Grandmother dislike me on purpose? Eldest Sister, your heart is really poisonous! Our family has been harmed by others to this extent, and you still can’t let us be?"

With such a big accusation thrown at her by Situtu Qinger, Xuexue wasn’t stupid, and she didn’t take it lying down, so she gave her a cold glance: "Second Sister, you need to speak with evidence. When have I ever harmed your family?"

"It’s true, everything was harmonious in our family when you weren’t here. Ever since you returned, everything changed. My mother inexplicably became a concubine, and I, the General’s Mansion’s Eldest Legitimate Daughter, was lowered to a despicable concubine-born daughter." Situtu Qinger grew angrier as she spoke: "Now that Grandmother is back, I will certainly have her make things right for me."

Xuexue smiled, showing no mercy as she spoke: "Second Sister, you need to understand, Auntie Tang’s title wasn’t given by me. She has always been a concubine. These past years, she has only been deceiving herself. So, Second Sister, you have always been a concubine-born daughter, and that has never changed."

"You’re talking nonsense, it was all your doing." Situtu Qinger glared at Xuexue with venomous eyes, that intense look as if she wanted to devour her, not worrying about damaging her reputation as a lady of a reputable family under everyone’s gaze.

During the noisy quarrel, a procession appeared at the end of the street.

"Second Sister, Second Sister, look, Grandmother is back." Suddenly, Situ Zhi next to them called out excitedly.

Situ Qinger glared fiercely at Xuexue one more time before stopping the quarrel.

"Grandmother, Grandmother!" Before the sedan even approached, Situ Zhi ran towards it.

Since Lady Tang moved to the manor, these days under Xuexue’s control, this overbearing young master had suffered a lot.

Now, the Old Madam, who loves him the most, has returned, and he couldn’t be happier.

The procession, consisting of about forty or fifty people, marched mightily towards the General’s Mansion.

Servants protected the front and back of the procession, with a sedan carried by four people in the middle, where the Old Madam sat.

As Situ Zhi ran over, the sedan stopped, and a plump and fair hand stretched out, accompanied by a kindly voice.

"Oh my! My precious grandson, Grandmother has missed you to death, come here quickly, let me see if you’ve grown taller."

While speaking, she pulled Situ Zhi up into the carriage.

The sedan was lifted again and soon stopped at the door of the General’s Mansion.

"Grandmother!" Situtu Qinger pushed Xuexue aside and rushed forward.

Caught off guard by the shove, Xuexue nearly stumbled. Stabilizing herself, her eyes grew cold, and she silently called for Xiao Taohong, preparing to tell her to come out and give Situtu Qinger a lesson.

"Xiao Taohong."

"Eh! My lord, at your service." Xiao Taohong’s voice responded from the space.

"Can you come out now?"
