Chapter 842: Chapter 842: Old Madam is not a pushover

Upon hearing those words, Madam Xie grew anxious: “Xuexue, you must be careful. The Old Madam isn’t someone easy to deal with, and she never liked your birth mother in the past.”

“Mother, don’t worry. Your daughter knows how to manage. As long as you move out of the General’s Mansion, your daughter will be free of concerns.”

Mo Xiaoqiang looked puzzled: “What’s there to be afraid of from an old woman?”

Madam Xie glared fiercely at him: “What do you know of the struggles in a large household? Xuexue is asking us to move out of the General’s Mansion for our own good, don’t be ungrateful.”

In the past, due to her birth mother, Xuexue had served in the General’s Mansion as a maid, and she knew how difficult the Old Madam was to deal with.

Mo Xiaoqiang quickly laughed: “Yes, yes, it was my mistake. We’re a family, misunderstandings can be cleared up with a word.”

Xuexue also smiled: “Mother, my foster father didn’t say anything wrong, don’t blame him.”

Madam Xie harrumphed: “For Xuexue’s sake, I’ll let you off this time.”

Mo Xiaoqiang smiled obsequiously: “Thank you, my lady.”

A few days later, the Mo Xiaoqiang family moved out of the General’s Mansion.

When they left, they didn’t take much with them, just a small bundle.

When leaving the General’s Mansion, a carriage was parked outside.

The family of three, looking back step by step, reluctantly boarded the carriage.

Xuexue didn’t even go out to send them off.

Rumors said that she fell out with her foster parents and in a fit of anger drove them out of the General’s Mansion.

Peacock Court

Situdu Qinger was lying on the Noble Consort Chair, comfortably eating fruits.

A maid hurried in: “To report to Second Miss, the adopted parents of the eldest miss have left.”

“Hmm, I know!”

Situdu Qinger lifted her phoenix eyes and asked: “That little cheap person didn’t go to see them off?”

The maid respectfully answered: “No, the eldest miss left early in the morning and wasn’t even in the mansion.”

Situdu Qinger laughed maliciously: “That little cheap person is really heartless, after being raised by them she repays her foster parents like this.”

“Isn’t this better? Second Miss, haven’t you always found them a thorn in your side?”

“Of course. A bunch of bumpkins, what right do they have to live in the General’s Mansion, and yet they received better treatment than I did.” As Situdu Qinger recalled this, she gritted her teeth with anger. But in a blink of an eye, her face turned to one of blooming joy: “Grandmother will be back in a few days, and with a word from her, mother’s return to the mansion is definite. That little cheap person Xuexue, let’s see how long she can be proud, hmm!”

Orchid quickly agreed: “Exactly! With the Old Madam’s return, it shall be like the clouds parting and the moon appearing for Second Miss.”

Because Situdu Qinger had always been favored by the Old Madam since she was little due to her beauty

“That’s right. It’s been so hard with mother not in the mansion, that little cheap person even restricts what I can eat and drink. Just wait until Grandmother returns, she’ll get what she deserves.”

Situdu Qinger, gritting her teeth in anger, even the fruit she was eating had been bought with her own private money.

At that moment, a maid came in nervously: “Second Miss.”

Situdu Qinger: “What is it?”

“The eldest miss isn’t in the mansion, and this maid did not know whom to seek but to come to you.”

Situdu Qinger waved her hand irritably, a bit spitefully saying: “Go on, go. For the trivial matters of the mansion, seek the eldest miss. She is the one in charge, I am powerless and have no ability to manage.”

Maid: “But…”

Seeing the Second Miss getting upset, Orchid quickly stepped forward, pushed the maid out while also adding: “The affairs of the mansion are not for Second Miss to worry about. You had better leave quickly and not disturb Second Miss’s rest.”
