Chapter 882: Chapter 882: The Perfect Lady

"Old Madam, please don’t be angry anymore, it’s not good for your health. Let the younger generation deal with their own affairs," the Old Maid said gently, her voice comforting to hear.

Old Madam closed her eyes, savoring the moment.

This Old Maid had followed her for decades and understood her best.

After a while of massaging.

Old Madam opened her eyes: "That said, the General’s Mansion is still my home after all, how can I ignore it? Moreover, what they did is too outrageous and will affect Jiejie’s position in the court."

Old Madam had no biological children, so she held Situ Yongjie in her heart.

As the saying goes, one’s glory or disgrace affects all.

Her future prosperity and status were all tied to Situ Yongjie; she could not afford to lose anything. As long as the General’s Mansion was doing well, her position as the Old Madam would be worry-free.

After being reprimanded by Old Madam, Situtu Qinger and Situ Yu stood there properly, heads down, daring not to make a sound.

Early today, rumors were flying all over the Capital. Even the Old Maids who went out to buy food came back saying that the whole Capital was filled with the scandals of Second Miss and Fourth Miss. That wasn’t all; the scene of their clothes being torn and their bodies exposed during the fight was described so vividly that it made two proper ladies of the manor sound like prostitutes from a Brothel.

Rumors are indeed frightening!

Old Madam was already angry, but upon hearing this news, she became even more furious.

"For the next few days, you are not to go anywhere. Stay in your own courtyards and copy the Four Books and Five Classics a hundred times. Practice how to be a proper lady, a true daughter of a noble family."

Old Madam glared angrily: "Have you not considered your father’s status? With such a disgraceful act, how can he face his colleagues with dignity?"

Upon hearing this, their faces immediately drooped.

Indeed, copying the Four Books and Five Classics a hundred times was practically a death sentence.

"Grandmother, the Fourth Prince has invited Qinger to attend an autumn outing in two days, and at that time...?" Old Madam was on the verge of rage, Situtu Qinger’s tone was cautious and probing.

"With such a scandal, you still have the nerve to go out and lose face?" Old Madam looked at her disdainfully, feeling it a pity that this granddaughter had completely ruined herself.

"The Fourth Prince has personally invited her; it wouldn’t be good if Qinger doesn’t attend," Situtu Qinger said with her head down, her voice extremely gentle, appearing very obedient.

Old Madam had been present that day, and the Fourth Prince did indeed personally promise to let her join the autumn outing.

"Well then, if you’re not afraid of losing face, go ahead," Old Madam said after a moment of thought, somewhat helplessly.

It would be up to her own fate.

Old Madam couldn’t fathom the Fourth Prince’s thoughts; sometimes, it seemed like he took a liking to Xuexue, and other times it seemed like he was interested in Qinger. Well, she would no longer interfere in the affairs of the younger generation; if Qinger was fortunate enough to marry into the Royal Family, it would be nothing but beneficial for the General’s Mansion.

Upon hearing this, Situtu Qinger was overjoyed and stepped forward to kneel and bow: "Qinger thanks Grandmother."

"Stay a while and then go to Xuexue’s place to collect some Silver. Get yourself a new dress tomorrow, don’t disgrace our General’s Mansion," Old Madam said, unwilling in her heart, but for the sake of the General’s Mansion’s reputation, she had no other choice.

These words from Old Madam meant that there was no need for her to copy the Four Books and Five Classics, and Situtu Qinger was secretly delighted.

Situ Yu, however, was not happy; the agreed punishment, it seemed, was only for her: "Grandmother, Yuer cannot accept this."
