Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Causing Great Trouble

"What nonsense are they spouting?" Faced with the unbearable gossip of the common folks, Situ Qinger was nearly in tears. She had always seen herself as above the rest and had high standards. From a young age, she had been determined to marry into the Royal Family. Now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, her body exposed, the good reputation she had carefully maintained over the past decade was utterly ruined. Her heart was a tumultuous mix of emotions, indescribable discomfort overwhelming her.

It was with great difficulty that the Fourth Prince had started to take a liking to her, yet this incident happened, how could her heart not feel constricted.

She truly feared that after today, the Fourth Prince would no longer pay her any attention.

"Second sister, don’t be sad. Let’s hurry back and change clothes," said Situ Dieer considerately as she stepped forward to take Qinger’s arm, helping her towards the mansion.

Before leaving, Situ Qinger turned her head and glared fiercely at Situ Yu; after all, it was all the younger sister’s fault. It was bad enough that she always vied with her for their mother’s favor, but today, she had caused her to lose her chastity. She wondered how she would deal with her in the future.

Situ Qinger’s reputation was destroyed.

The happiest was Situ Yu. Although she felt some schadenfreude, she was implicated too! After seeing them enter, she also quickly wrapped her clothes tightly around herself and hurried into the mansion.

The commoners gathered at the gate, seeing that the main characters had left, also gradually dispersed.

The house servants at the main gate were sweating bullets; they hurriedly closed the gates.

Due to their negligence, they had failed to shut the gates in time, leading to the exposure of the Second Miss and Fourth Miss’ wardrobe mishap during their fight, which had now become public. Perhaps after today, the entire Capital would be talking about it. After all, the General’s Mansion was a prominent figure in the Capital, and such a scandal was practically big news; it would be a surprise if people weren’t interested!

The house servants were terrified, truly fearing that the General would not let them off the hook once he returned.

"Goodness! When the masters are in trouble, we servants are the ones who suffer," said one of the servants with a worried expression.

"Exactly! The Old Master will definitely punish us when he’s back. What should we do?"

"Who knows! We servants can only leave it up to fate," some servants had long since resigned themselves to whatever might come.

"The Second Miss and the Fourth Miss have always been at odds, but who would have thought that they, delicate and pampered, could actually come to blows and cause such a big disaster. Sigh! Not only did they lose their reputations, but they also implicated us servants."

"Indeed, at worst they lost their reputations, but we, for this incident, could even lose our lives!"

The few gatekeepers stood together, discussing fearfully, afraid that this incident might cost them their lives.

Indeed, as servants, their lives were regarded as cheap, and if their masters were harmed because of them, not even ten lives would suffice to make amends.

The next day

Old Madam, always accustomed to early bed and early rise, learned of the incident from the servants’ mouths, and was greatly infuriated.

After hastily finishing her morning meal, she instructed the Old Maid to summon Situ Qinger and Situ Yu to the Refreshing Courtyard.

When the Old Maid arrived at their courtyards, the two misses were sound asleep!

It took her tremendous effort to wake them up.

After they had washed and dressed up, and by the time they arrived at the Refreshing Courtyard, it was sunrise.

There was a Buddhist hall set up in the Refreshing Courtyard, where the Old Madam, having nothing better to do, liked to chant Buddhist scriptures and meditate.

When Situ Qinger arrived, the Old Madam was holding a string of Buddha Beads, her eyes closed, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, murmuring prayers.

Situ Qinger didn’t dare to disturb her and stood quietly to the side, waiting.
