Chapter 800: Chapter 800 Incident Exposed Chapter 800: Chapter 800 Incident Exposed “Heh,” Lady Tang’s smile was somewhat awkward.
Situ Yongjie turned his head to glare at her and said impatiently, “What are you still doing here? Go quickly and bring the indentures of the servants from the mansion.”
“Old Master, I’ve already said that we’re not changing the maids, so why do we need the indentures?” Lady Tang was somewhat slow to react and asked with a confused face.
“Since the General’s Mansion has been handed over to Xuexue to manage, it’s only right that she manages the servants’ indentures.”
Upon hearing this, Lady Tang took a sharp intake of breath, realizing that the Old Master was here for the indentures because of Xuexue, that little cheap person. Without the servants’ indentures, how could she manipulate the servants to work for her?
“Old Master, the affairs of the General’s Mansion are too busy, and Xuexue, a little maid, doesn’t have the capability to control them. Over time, there will surely be many problems, so I hope the Old Master reconsiders,” Lady Tang tried to persuade Situ Yongjie to change his mind.
However, Situ Yongjie simply didn’t care, “I think she is doing quite well, these past few days her performance has been nothing less than yours.”
“That’s because it has been a short period of time, and you, Old Master, just haven’t noticed the problems yet.”
Lady Tang dragged her feet and simply refused to fetch the servants’ indentures.
Situ Yongjie grew impatient, “You don’t need to worry about this, just bring them here.”
Having no choice, Lady Tang reluctantly walked back to her room, dragging her feet unwillingly, and brought out the servants’ indentures.
“Old Master, here are the indentures of the servants from the mansion,” Lady Tang said, her head hanging down, her face listless.
“Hmm,” Situ Yongjie reached out to take them and then asked, “It’s getting late, you should be setting off for the manor by now, right?”
Situ Yongjie seemed eager to see her leave. Lady Tang felt miserable inside and said with a mournful face, “I have a lot of things I can’t let go; I need to explain clearly to the children first.”
“Then hurry up and make everything clear,” he replied.
With that said, Situ Yongjie said no more and turned around, striding out.
Just then, Situtu Qinger came in with two maids, just as she brushed past Situ Yongjie. She quickly stopped, stepped aside, lowered her head, and respectfully called out, “Father.”
“Hmm!”
Situ Yongjie glanced at her then walked away without looking back.
Situtu Qinger stood where she was, watching his figure disappear before turning around and walking over to Lady Tang, asking anxiously, “Mother, what exactly has happened? Why is everyone saying you’ve been sent to the manor?”
Despondently sitting on a stool, Lady Tang spoke lifelessly, “Mom underestimated that little cheap person, actually, she saw through our scheme long ago.”
“What? That little cheap person is so capable? No wonder father wants to send you to the manor,” Situtu Qinger said, her eyes wide with disbelief.
“No, your father doesn’t yet know about our scheme!” Lady Tang was also puzzled. Xuexue obviously knew of her scheme but hadn’t told Situ Yongjie; something about this situation was definitely not normal.
“Since the scheme hasn’t been exposed, then why does father want to send you to the manor?”
Upon mentioning this, Lady Tang was filled with regret, blaming her impulsive nature. After enduring for over a decade, she had faltered at this point.
“Mom has been under too much stress lately. This morning, almost killed by those poisonous scorpions and centipedes, and in a fit of anger, went to Qingyuo Pavilion to find that little cheap person to vent, thinking of causing a big fuss so that your father couldn’t cover for her. But unexpectedly, your father took her side completely, and things turned out this way.”
