Chapter 841: Chapter 841 Old Madam

The tiger saw her coming in, raised its head to give her a glance, then turned away haughtily.

Even as a Thousand-Year Divine Beast, having Xuexue use him as a mount for so long definitely made it somewhat resentful.

Xuexue was too lazy to pay attention to it; as long as it maintained its tiger form and didn’t look too strange, she was content. She had revenge to seek and had no desire to die yet!

“Xuexue, come here quickly, your mother has prepared a bowl of porridge for you,” Madam Xie said with a kind smile as she saw her come in.

“Okay!” Xuexue sat down next to her, took the bowl of porridge from Madam Xie, scooped a small spoonful, and ate it: “Mmm! This porridge is really well made! Mother, did you get up early to cook breakfast again?”

“Yes! Mother has been used to doing household chores for over a decade, suddenly having nothing to do makes me quite uneasy,” Madam Xie said with a smile.

Ever since Xuexue took over the management of the General’s Mansion, Madam Xie had a small kitchen set up in the Qingyuo Pavilion by servants, and she insisted on preparing the three meals a day herself despite Xuexue’s repeated persuasion; she just couldn’t stay idle.

“Mother, haven’t I told you? It’s fine to cook lunch and dinner yourself, but don’t get up too early in the morning, it’s not good for your health.”

“It’s okay, mother is old, needs little sleep, as long as you all enjoy the food, that makes mother happy,” Madam Xie responded with a light smile.

Mo Xiaoqiang also laughed: “That’s just how your mother is, she can’t sit idle, Xuexue, just let her be.”

Xuexue felt helpless and just let it be.

After breakfast, the maid cleaned up the table.

The family sat together for a chat.

Xuexue spoke to Mo Xiaoqiang and Madam Xie: “Adoptive father, mother, please pack your things, in a few days I will send you out of the General’s Mansion.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoqiang and Madam Xie exchanged a puzzled look, then turned to Xuexue: “We are living well in the General’s Mansion, why do we need to move out?”

“The General’s Mansion is not a place for long-term residence, it’s more comfortable living in a place of our own, adoptive father, mother, don’t worry, I have already arranged a residence outside.”

Mo Xiaoqiang hesitated for a long time, then cautiously asked: “Xuexue, do you think we country folks embarrass you?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Xuexue is not that kind of person,” Madam Xie sharply rebuked him.

Mo Xiaoqiang felt wronged: “Wife, we are a family, we always need to clear things up, moreover, the Second Miss Situ often comes over to scold us as bumpkins, now, even though Xuexue is in charge, she is making us move out, if it’s not disdain then what is it?”

“Didn’t I tell you to stop talking about it?”

Madam Xie got anxious, twisted Mo Xiaoqiang’s arm fiercely, then turned to Xuexue: “Xuexue, don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense, actually, the General’s Mansion is not as good as one imagines, this place is riddled with conflicts, it’s better to live in Mo Family Village! You asked us to move out, let’s just move.”

After moving into the General’s Mansion, they had been schemed against several times, and Madam Xie was deeply affected.

Xuexue nodded: “It’s good that mother understands this! The General’s Mansion is a place of trouble, the sooner we leave the better! I heard dad say, in a few days, the Old Madam will return to the mansion, and then, the mansion will not be up to the daughter to decide.”

Madam Xie was shocked: “The Old Madam is returning to the mansion? I thought she was residing in another residence?”

“No, she went to another residence to escape the summer heat some days ago, but now that it’s almost winter, it’s time for her to return.”

In her previous life, the Old Madam had been a formidable character.

Actually, she wasn’t really Situ Yongjie’s biological mother, merely a step-mother, but Situ Yongjie respected her deeply and treated her as if she were his real mother.
