Chapter 838: Chapter 838 State Preceptor

This sentence scared Situtu Qinger half to death.

There was no corpse, only a skeleton.

Could it mean that the tiger had already eaten the maid’s body?

That day, frightened Situtu Qinger didn’t eat for the whole day and was bedridden, sleeping hazily for three days and nights.

Situtu Qinger wiped her tears with her hand and said with grievance, “Eldest Sister, it was clearly the tiger that ate my maid. How can you invert right and wrong and accuse me of abusing your foster parents?”

Who is really twisting the truth here?

This White Lotus is acting again.

Xuexue sneered inwardly: “There are so many people in the mansion, my tiger wanders around every day and no one is harmed, why would it only eat your maid?”

Situtu Qinger pouted her lips and said to the Fourth Prince with grievance, “Beasts will be beasts, once their nature strikes, they naturally hurt people. Fourth Prince, for safety, it’s better to keep a distance from that beast.”

Hearing this, the Fourth Prince hesitated, although he wanted to win the beauty’s favor, he was ready to abandon anything when his life was at stake.

At this moment, Zi Xia appeared at the entrance of the hall with the tiger.

Situtu Qinger exaggeratedly said to Situ Yongjie, “Father, father, quickly tell Eldest Sister to take the tiger out, we must not let it harm the Fourth Prince.”

Hearing that the tiger had eaten a maid made the Fourth Prince want to retreat, but for the sake of face, he couldn’t speak out. Now, with Situtu Qinger stepping forward, it was exactly what he wanted.

Glancing at the thoughtful Fourth Prince, Xuexue, who had shared a bed with him for many years in a past life, waved her hand loudly towards the entrance of the hall, “Zi Xia, the Fourth Prince is worried about being too close to the tiger might endanger his life, so don’t bring it here.”

Xuexue’s voice was loud, and everyone in the hall heard it clearly; the servants all turned their heads to look over.

The Fourth Prince’s face darkened, feeling disgraced, he explained, “Miss Situ, don’t misunderstand, I’m not afraid of the tiger.”

Xuexue smiled lightly: “Then shall I have the maid bring the tiger over?”

“No, no,” the Fourth Prince repeatedly waved his hands, then thought better of it and added, “Second Miss seems quite afraid of the tiger, to accommodate her, let’s forgo it.”

Clearly, he was the one who was afraid, yet he pushed it onto a young lady, typical of the Fourth Prince.

Hearing this, Situtu Qinger’s face lit up with joy, thinking the Fourth Prince might have taken a liking to her, she looked at him with eyes full of spring, “Fourth Prince is truly considerate, thinking of me.”

“Hmm! Second Miss is pitiable, it’s only right.”

As they spoke as if no one else was present, Xuexue didn’t mind. She stood up, walked towards the tiger, and reached out to stroke its fur on the head, “Qi Miao, since some people here don’t welcome us, we might as well leave.”

The tiger seemed to understand her words.

It let out a low roar: “Roar!”

While roaring, it crouched down halfway.

This action by the tiger was generally understood by the servants in the mansion.

It was inviting Xuexue to sit on its tiger back.

This honor, besides Xuexue and Chuner, no one else could approach it.

Xuexue patted its tiger head, praised it saying, “Good boy.”

Then, she stepped up, straddling it, and sat securely on the tiger’s back.

The Fourth Prince watched, stunned, the State Preceptor was indeed right, the Eldest Legitimate Daughter of the General’s Mansion was truly out of the ordinary.
