Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Soft-hearted Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Soft-hearted “Miss, we beg you, please don’t sell us off,” everyone started pleading.

Xuexue remained silent. In her past life, her kindness had led to a gruesome death.

Reborn, she was determined not to show mercy again.

“Don’t beg me. If you are to blame anyone, blame yourselves for choosing the wrong master. It’s out of necessity that I manage the General’s Mansion well.”

Knowing they couldn’t escape their fate of being sold, some servants vented, “Miss is clearly just getting rid of those who oppose her, yet she speaks as if she’s so righteous.”

Xuexue said indifferently, “As I’ve already said, I am getting rid of those who oppose me. What can you do about it?”

Just then, a sharp reprimand rang out: “Elder sister, you’re too cunning. You talk about reorganizing the General’s Mansion, but this was your true intention all along.”

Hearing this, Xuexue slowly turned her head, and saw it was Situtu Qinger, accompanied by a Maid, hurrying over.

Ever since Lady Tang had been sent away to a manor by Situ Yongjie,
Situtu Qinger had become much more restrained, and she lived in constant fear, anxious that Prince Pu might suddenly send for her to join War Prince’s Mansion. Therefore, aside from visiting Prince Pu’s Mansion to discuss strategies, she had stayed in the General’s Mansion, not daring to go out.

“Didn’t the Second Miss say she was feeling unwell? Why has she come out again?” Xuexue’s tone was filled with scorn.

A few nights ago, Situtu Qinger daringly tried to sneak into Situ Yongjie’s room under the cover of darkness, holding a pot of flowers, intending to switch them back.

But just as she was about to leave, Situ Yongjie’s bed creaked as if he was about to wake up.

Startled, Situtu Qinger stumbled, and the pot of flowers smashed onto her foot, causing a gory cut and intense pain.

However, the loud noise fully awoke Situ Yongjie, and despite her pain, she didn’t dare linger and, hobbling, escaped under the guise of night.

Since there was no loss of property, only a broken pot of flowers, Situ Yongjie didn’t give it much thought, he just had the guard search the General’s Mansion. When they didn’t find anyone, the matter was dropped.

The next day, rumors spread in the mansion that the Second Miss had been injured.

As for how she was hurt, no one knew.

Xuexue knew exactly what happened but taunted her intentionally.

Situtu Qinger angrily said, “Elder sister, you’re openly replacing servants on such a large scale just to oppose mother; that’s not quite appropriate, is it?”

These servants were carefully trained by her mother. If Xuexue were to sell them all at once, how would her mother face this upon her return?

That’s why Situtu Qinger had come over, trying to stop Xuexue.

Xuexue first scoffed, and then said icily, “Indeed, it’s inappropriate.”

“Then you should stop immediately.”

“It’s you who is inappropriate.”

“How am I inappropriate?” Situtu Qinger looked confused, thinking, what is this little cheap person up to now?

Xuexue glanced at her sideways, “Second sister, everyone in the Capital says you are a well-educated and sensible young lady from a distinguished family, yet it seems to me you lack proper manners.”

Situtu Qinger’s face changed, she wanted to erupt, but being alone and without support in the General’s Mansion, she eventually held back and asked with a flat tone, “Elder sister, what do you mean by that?”

“You know full well your biological mother is but a Concubine, yet you persist in referring to her as mother. Do you think that’s appropriate?”

Hearing this, Situtu Qinger’s face turned a mix of pale and flushed.

Indeed, in Moli Country, children born to Concubines can only call their mothers “Concubine,” not “mother,” unless the woman is the Main Wife.

Situtu Qinger made no reply.

Xuexue continued, “Not only do you refer to her in this way, but you also allow your attendant to call her madam. Why is that?”
