"Why are you yelling? Don't forget, I am your mother." The Old Madam was angry too.
Finally, she held back her temper and spoke to Situ Yongjie earnestly: "Zhizhi is the only heir in our family, what's wrong if he spends a little more Silver? Jiejie, don't listen to outsiders trying to sow discord. No matter how good a daughter is, once married, she belongs to outsiders. Zhizhi will be the one to look after you in old age and give you a proper farewell. What's wrong with treating him better?"
When the Old Madam mentioned the word "daughter," she deliberately intensified her tone. She was still resentful of the incident at the gate earlier, where Xuexue publicly revealed her carefully kept secret in front of so many servants.
Indeed, after several changes of staff in the mansion, few remembered the events of that year. Over the years, even the Old Madam herself had forgotten that Situ Yongjie was not her biological son.
