Chapter 1306: Angered the Old Madam Away

The Old Madam seems to have forgotten that these betrothal gifts are meant for Xuexue.

She bypassed Xuexue and directly asked Situ Yongjie, believing that this son of hers has always been obedient to her, thinking that this time he wouldn't defy her wishes either, and that these betrothal gifts would easily come into her possession.

But the Old Madam miscalculated.

She failed to consider that Xuexue had grown up suffering in the common world for over a decade, struggling even to have three meals a day, growing up in misery and hardship. Situ Yongjie was always resentful about this, and furthermore, felt guiltier for hastily marrying her off to the terminally ill War Prince in order to save Situ Zhi.

Situ Yongjie glanced at Xuexue and said gently, "Xuexue, what do you think of Grandmother's suggestion?"

If the betrothal gifts were placed with the Old Madam, wouldn't it be like throwing a steamed bun to a dog, never to return?
