Chapter 865: Chapter 865 Refreshing Courtyard

Situ Yu stood alone at the doorway, looking puzzled at the sky, then at the fallen plaque on the ground, scratching his head and muttering to himself, "Strange, there was a fierce wind just now, but now there’s not even a slight breeze."

"Yuer, Yuer, what are you still doing at the door? Hurry back inside." Situ Dieer, who had walked into the mansion, called back without turning around.

"Alright! Coming!"

Puzzled beyond belief, Situ Yu could only gather his thoughts and hurried after her.

The remaining servants were also puzzled, for they had never seen such a strong wind during this period, and what was even stranger was that the wind only blew for a moment before the plaque fell, then everything calmed down again.

However, even if they were most curious, as servants, they dared not gossip about their masters’ affairs.

Uncle Zhong, seeing that the masters had all gone inside, then instructed the servants at the door, "Stop staring, go back to your duties, but leave two to clean up the entrance."

Uncle Zhong looked at the shattered plaque on the ground, mumbling quietly to himself, "It seems we need to find a carpenter to make a new one."

As for the sudden gust of wind, Uncle Zhong felt it odd but didn’t think much of it.

Indeed, with so many natural and man-made disasters occurring every year, an occasional strange gust of wind was nothing unusual.

Refreshing Courtyard

Old Madam led everyone into the courtyard, surveyed her surroundings, and was immediately satisfied to see that everything was just as she had left it.

"Very good, child, you’ve worked hard." Old Madam turned around and affectionately patted Xuexue’s palm.

Xuexue felt guilty, "It’s my duty."

Situ Zhi felt unhappy, stepped forward, grabbed Old Madam’s arm, and pouted, "Grandmother, you are biased."

"Oh dear! Who has upset our Little Young Master? Look at that aggrieved little face," Old Madam said with loving affection.

"It’s true, the courtyard has always been managed by my mother; have you forgotten her? You’re giving all the credit to this country girl, Zhizhi is not convinced."

"Alright, alright! Your mother’s contribution is remembered in my heart."

"What good is it to remember? Mother is suffering at the manor right now. Grandmother, you must save her. Zhizhi is young; I don’t want to be without a mother," Situ Zhi said with a pitiful look.

"Zhizhi, what exactly happened? Tell your grandmother," Old Madam said nonchalantly, her gaze slyly glancing at Xuexue.

Xuexue understood thoroughly; though Old Madam was not present at the mansion, she was well aware of every single detail that transpired within.

"It’s all because of this little cheap person." Suddenly, Situ Zhi pointed at Xuexue and said sharply.

"Zhizhi, do not be rude; she is your elder sister," Old Madam said, although her tone held no hint of reprimand.

"Pah! What elder sister? She deserves it?" Although Situ Zhi was only nine, his demeanor was extremely arrogant.

Indeed, ever since he was born, at the General’s Mansion, he got whatever he wanted, and even if he made a mistake, no one dared to fault him.

Old Madam and Lady Tang doted on him excessively; even if he made mistakes, they could not bear to scold him, and over time, this nurtured his extremely vicious and selfish temperament.

Even though Situ Zhi spoke like this, Old Madam just smiled at Xuexue, "Xuexue, Zhizhi is young and doesn’t understand, you’re the elder sister, don’t take it to heart."

As for the chilling behavior of Old Madam, Xuexue felt no ripples in her heart, after all, how can you be disappointed in someone you had no expectations from in the first place?

Thus, she responded demurely, "Grandmother, rest assured, not only is Zhizhi young, but he is also the only male heir of the General’s Mansion, Xuexue understands."

"That’s very good!" Old Madam grinned joyously.
