Xuexue looked at the Old Madam with a bewildered expression: "Aren't they treating me so politely because of Father?"
"Impossible."
She was Situ Yongjie's mother! Why didn't she receive such treatment, but Xuexue did? The Old Madam felt neglected, harboring a bellyful of anger. She didn't dare make a sound in the War Prince's Mansion, but upon returning to the General's Mansion, she felt like she was back on her own turf, and her tone grew harsher.
On the surface, Xuexue stood obediently, but inside she didn't care about the Old Madam at all.
Although this old woman was a formidable character when she was young, she posed no threat now to her, who had returned reborn.
Facing the Old Madam's angry glare, Xuexue still appeared gentle and obedient as she said, "Grandmother, Xuexue really doesn't know what happened."
"Really?"
"Yes!"
