Chapter 801: Chapter 801 Human Traffiker Chapter 801: Chapter 801 Human Traffiker “Mother, you’ve been too impulsive this time. If you leave, what will happen to the future of my brother and sister?” Situtu Qinger was both anxious and angry. At this point, there was nothing she could do.

Indeed, Lady Tang’s status as a concubine had yet to be legitimized.

Her affair with the War Prince hadn’t been settled, and now, the entire Capital was abuzz with the scandal of the Qinger Building in the Brothel.

Every issue felt suffocating; if Lady Tang, their main support, were banished to the manor, to whom could she turn for advice?

These past few days, whenever Situtu Qinger met with the daughters of the nobility, as soon as they mentioned the incident of Qinger Building, they looked at her with meaningful glances, those mocking eyes made her feel humiliated, as if she was one of those ridden by thousands, oppressed prostitutes in Qinger Building, which infuriated her.

She was of noble birth; how could she be compared with those lowly prostitutes? The more Situtu Qinger thought about it, the angrier she became.

“So, Mother has specially stayed back to instruct you to speak favorably of Mother in front of Father, urging him to bring Mother back to the General’s Mansion sooner. Qinger, do you understand?”

Situtu Qinger nodded. She understood her mother’s intentions; they were connected by blood, sharing both honor and disgrace.

“Mother, rest assured, your daughter understands the priorities.”

“That’s good.”

After a pause, Lady Tang again spoke with a grave expression: “The plant I sent to Qingyuo Pavilion yesterday was taken by your father. You must find a way to steal it back, otherwise, if he discovers the secret within it, the days for us mother and daughters are numbered.”

“What? How could this happen?” The plant that had been drugged was taken by Situ Yongjie; Situtu Qinger was surprised.

“It’s all because that little cheap person spouted nonsense, I’m afraid Father might have grown suspicious.”

“What should we do now?”

“Qinger, you must remain calm and not panic; just replace it with an identical plant, and your father won’t notice.”

“Will that work?”

“Believe in yourself, my Qinger is the best.”

“Alright.”

With no other option, Situtu Qinger agreed to give it a try, regardless of success or failure.

After all, Lady Tang was her biological mother, and their fates were intertwined!

After arranging everything, Lady Tang left the General’s Mansion with reluctance, turning her head back three times with each step.

Qingyuo Pavilion.

Situ Yongjie handed the indentures to Xuexue.

Looking at the mountain of indentures, Xuexue paused and asked, “Father, just how many servants do we have in our mansion?”

“Father isn’t sure either, you have to ask Auntie Tang about this; she has been managing these affairs for over a decade,” Situ Yongjie was also confused; he had always delegated these duties and did not know the specifics.

Situ Yongjie was a rough man who spent his life in military campaigns and never bothered with the trivial matters of the mansion.

Xuexue understood and simply nodded: “Alright, I’ll sort it out when I have time.”

With so many indentures, it would take more than a moment to sort them out. Xuexue put them away, planning to organize them properly when she had the chance.

With Lady Tang gone, the General’s Mansion suddenly became much quieter.

Even the servants became more restrained.

They knew how to observe words and moods and understood that Xuexue was in charge of the General’s Mansion, and even the madam had been squeezed out; they, being even less significant, dared not act rashly.

On this day, Xuexue began to reorganize the General’s Mansion.

In the courtyard, Xuexue dressed in a fiery red outfit, her hair coiled up into a beautiful Hairbun, adorned with a hairpin flower, with her long hair falling to her waist, giving her a fresh and ethereal appearance.

She was seated on a Noble Consort Chair with a table placed in front holding tea and pastries, embodying an air of serene contentment.
