Chapter 736: Chapter 736 Vomited Chapter 736: Chapter 736 Vomited Prince Pu and his wife finally felt relieved.

Since Princess Consort Pu was drenched in blood by Lady Tang’s vomit, she looked utterly disheveled. Those in the know understood it was due to Lady Tang’s vomit; others thought she had just escaped an assassination attempt!

After Lady Tang recovered from the poison, Prince Pu no longer troubled the General’s Mansion, and Situ Yongjie was very grateful to the War Prince.

Princess Consort Pu looked in no state to meet anyone. Seeing their daughter was still unconscious but no longer in danger, the couple decided to return home and visit their daughter another day.

Ever since the incident of Lady Tang poisoning Madam Xie was exposed.

Situ Yongjie was furious–Lady Li’s death and Xuexue’s appearance had filled him with doubts, particularly towards Lady Tang, leading to mistrust and suspicion.

Little did he know, before this matter could be fully investigated, another issue surfaced: Lady Tang attempted to poison Madam Xie, making her even more displeasing to him.

In his anger, not only did he take back the major control of the General’s Mansion from her, but he also halved the number of maids in her courtyard, leaving only a few personal maids to manage the Couple’s Courtyard.

Now, Lady Tang’s monthly allowance and servants were allocated as befitting a concubine by Situ Yongjie.

Thus, the Couple’s Courtyard instantly became very desolate.

The few remaining maids, left alone in the Couple’s Courtyard, looked anxiously at the motionless Lady Tang in bed, knowing that once she woke up, there would surely be an outburst, and they would be the ones to suffer.

Situ Yongjie, walking out of the Couple’s Courtyard with the War Prince, noticed that the War Prince had no intention of leaving and said, “Prince, it’s getting late, nearly noon. If you don’t mind, why not stay for lunch? What do you think?”

The War Prince was waiting for this invitation, but he paused deliberately with an obligingly difficult expression, “Since General Situ has so sincerely invited me, I will graciously accept.”

“Excellent, please, Prince,” Situ Yongjie said, beaming with delight as he led him into the hall.

Once in the hall and seated, the War Prince spoke bluntly, “General Situ, where is Second Miss?”

Situ Yongjie was taken aback, unsure of the War Prince’s intentions. It seemed like he favored Xuexue, yet he was taking Qinger as a concubine. He simply couldn’t fathom the War Prince’s thoughts.

He had no choice but to instruct a servant to invite the Second Miss from the Peacock Court.

Soon, a servant hurriedly reported that the Second Miss had already gone to Prince Pu’s Mansion with Prince Pu and his wife, and she had taken several sets of clothes, seemingly planning to stay there for a while before returning.

Situ Yongjie’s expression turned unsightly, thinking that his second daughter was becoming increasingly lawless, relying on the backing of Prince Pu’s Mansion, not even needing to report to him, her father, before leaving the house.

In prestigious families, the discipline was always stringent; normally, young masters and mistresses had to report to the Family Head and be permitted before they could leave the house.

Normally, these matters were managed by Lady Tang, but now that she was unconscious, they naturally fell to Situ Yongjie, the legitimate master.

“The Capital has always been abuzz with how polite and filial Second Miss Situ is to everyone, but now it seems her reputation was overrated,” Long Rui remarked sarcastically, leisurely sipping his tea.

Situ Yongjie’s expression turned grim. He used to be very proud when outsiders praised Qinger.

But now, it seemed not to be the case.

Although Lady Tang had taken the antidote, she was still unconscious. At such a critical time, rather than staying by her mother’s side to attend to her, Situ Qinger had moved into Prince Pu’s Mansion, which was utterly inappropriate.
