Chapter 998: Chapter 998 Auntie Tang is About to Have Bad Luck

Seeing her family about to sleep on the streets, Auntie Tang hid this from Situ Yongjie and sold several shops outside, using the silver to help her family through the crisis and preserve Prince Pu’s Mansion.

She originally thought that this matter was done without the ghosts and gods knowing.

The Old Madam and Situ Yongjie never interfered with the General’s Mansion business. That’s why Auntie Tang dared to handle the properties privately.

Who knew, Xuexue, who had been dead for more than a dozen years, actually came back, disrupting all peace. As the Lady of the General’s Mansion, not only did she fall to a Concubine, but she also lost control over the household affairs to Xuexue.

Now, Xuexue even exposed her for selling off the General’s Mansion’s properties. Auntie Tang’s heart filled with hatred towards Xuexue, cursing her for being meddlesome and digging up old accounts unnecessarily.

Upon hearing this, the Old Madam slammed the table in anger: "What business does our General’s Mansion have with Prince Pu’s Mansion? They have their own properties too, why didn’t they sell theirs?"

It’s common knowledge that Prince Pu’s Mansion has properties in the Capital, including the most famous brothel in Changan City, where Prince Pu is the not-so-secret owner.

"If they sell the brothel, they will have no means to make a living, wouldn’t that drive them to despair? They raised me, I truly can’t just sit idly by."

On hearing this, the Old Madam sneered even more: "So, your family are people, but we from the General’s Mansion are not?"

"That wasn’t my intention."

"Then what do you mean? A dozen shops, you sell them without even informing us, you’ve got some nerve." The Old Madam gasped with anger, regretting ever letting such a woman into the General’s Mansion, thinking it’s a natural disaster that’s bearable but a self-made disaster that’s not.

Nurse Zhang quickly offered hot tea.

"Old Madam, please have some hot tea to calm down. Don’t be bad to your health."

Old Madam took the tea and had a few sips before calming down a bit.

"You despicable woman, you have infuriated me, squandering the General’s Mansion’s assets to support your family."

It was no surprise that the Old Madam was so angry, those shops were few but located in the busiest parts of Beijing City and consequently, their value had greatly increased; not just a dozen of them, even one shop was extremely expensive.

At this moment, the Old Madam, furious beyond measure, left Auntie Tang dare not provoke her further, obediently kneeling down, not daring to utter a single word.

Nanny Zhang quietly waved to Xuexue, hinting her to stand up.

Indeed, with the Old Madam in such a fury, who would care about Xuexue? If she kept kneeling, they wouldn’t know until when!

Of course, Xuexue wasn’t foolish and seeing Nanny Zhang’s gesture, she quietly got up from the ground.

Sensing this, Auntie Tang also wanted to stand up.

"You ruinous wretched woman, kneel down!" the Old Madam roared.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside.

Nanny Zhang looked up, seeing Situ Yongjie walking in with two guards.

"Old Madam, the Old Master is here," Nurse Zhang whispered into the Old Madam’s ear.

"This wicked woman has infuriated me to death." The Old Madam sat back down grumpily.

Her expression still seemed very displeased.

"Mother, it’s too late now, you should rest. Why bother with all this?" Having heard from his subordinates that the Old Madam was furiously lashing out in the Refreshing Courtyard, Situ Yongjie came to check with his men.
