Chapter 954: Chapter 954 Unwilling to Accept

Refreshing Courtyard.

Auntie Tang was summoned here once again by the Old Madam.

The Old Madam sat on the left side of the main hall with a gloomy face.

And Lady Tang was obediently kneeling before her, knowing well why she was summoned, yet outwardly she continued to feign ignorance.

"I do not know what instructions you have for your daughter-in-law, Mother-in-law?"

"Are you not going to explain the matter of the dried well to me?"

The Old Madam’s gaze bore into Auntie Tang, thinking to herself how this vile woman was even more ruthless than she was at her age, silently killing so many servants and still putting on an act as if she knew nothing.

To the unaware, she appeared so innocent!

"Your daughter-in-law only found out today, I do not know why there are so many skeletons in the dried well."

"Slap!"

The Old Madam was utterly infuriated, lifting her arm and fiercely slapping the table. This vile woman actually dared to mock her as if she were a fool, overseeing the General’s Mansion for over a decade, and now so many skeletons suddenly appear, she had the audacity to say she was uninvolved?

Moreover, Celestial Master Qian said very clearly yesterday that the ghosts he had taken away were all new ghosts.

What does this indicate?

It shows that these ghosts have only arisen in the past few years, and within the entire General’s Mansion who else but Auntie Tang has the means to silently kill so many?

"You vile woman, if you do not confess, do not blame me for being impolite."

"Your daughter-in-law truly does not know, how can I confess to something like that? Do you want your daughter-in-law to suffer an unfounded injustice?"

Lady Tang had just returned to her compound and after freshening up and changing into her previously extravagant gowns and valuable jewelry, she had once again become the dignified and luxurious lady of before.

"Heh heh heh..."

The Old Madam let out a cold laugh in her anger, "What a glib and slick-tongued vile woman, do you think that if you do not admit, I cannot inflict consequences upon you?"

Auntie Tang kept her head down and remained silent, relying on the fact that she was Situ Zhi’s mother. The Old Madam, not wanting to disregard Situ Zhi’s face, would not go too far in dealing with her.

"In the past, I had been tolerant of you in every respect because you were the daughter of Prince Pu and gave birth to the only male offspring for the Situ Family. To think you went from bad to worse, actually causing the death of so many. I can no longer tolerate you and have decided to have Jiejie divorce you, to keep you would only tarnish our family’s reputation."

Upon hearing this, Auntie Tang felt as though she had been struck by lightning. For a woman of this era to be divorced by her husband’s family was akin to a fate worse than death.

"Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law has toiled like an ox and horse for the General’s Mansion for over a decade, you cannot treat me this way, your daughter-in-law still has four children, they cannot be left without a mother."

"Pah! You lowly concubine, you are worthy of being their mother? Despite being born into Prince Pu’s Mansion, you understand not a hint of propriety. From ancient times till now, have you ever heard of a concubine daring to have her children to call her ’Mother’?" Previously, when the Old Madam found her pleasing to the eye, these issues could be ignored, but now, filled with resentment, she spoke without mincing her words.

In this era, aside from the Main Wife, concubines had no right to be addressed as ’Mother’ by the children, even if they were her own offspring, they could only call her Auntie.

And yet, Auntie Tang had her children call her mother for over a decade.

Even now, when everyone in the mansion knew her status was merely that of a concubine, she still had not corrected it.

The term ’Auntie’ was the deepest pain in Auntie Tang’s heart.

Back then, she had cast aside her noble status, marrying into General Situ Yongjie’s family, and after so many years, not only had she failed to gain his love, but her status was also so low, and her children had become the lowly concubine-born sons and daughters. Auntie Tang was far from content.
