Chapter 672: Chapter 672 Miss Chapter 672: Chapter 672 Miss “Miss? Is there a Miss here? Besides you few ugly, old dog servants, where is there any Miss?” Xuexue’s tone was full of sarcasm.
These old maids had just been denying that she was the Miss, but now, scared by the tiger, they acknowledged her as the Miss.
Xuexue was well aware that everyone in the General’s Mansion knew of her return yesterday.
The maids and old maids pretended not to recognize her, repeatedly picking fights, clearly instigated by Lady Tang.
Because only she could dominate the General’s Mansion single-handedly.
As the Matriarch of the General’s Mansion, this was also where Lady Tang excelled, doing dirty work through her subordinates. If something went wrong, a simple claim of ignorance or poor supervision of the servants could cover it all up.
Therefore, her reputation outside was always good, epitomizing virtuous and gentle qualities, noble hearted and generous–a model for other high-ranking officials’ wives, who deeply respected her.
Watching as the great tiger’s gaping jaws drew closer, its sharply defined teeth were clearly visible.
The old maid was terrified, completely losing her composure, and screamed frantically, “Miss, you are the Miss! This servant was wrong, this servant should not have disturbed your peaceful sleep. Please forgive this servant, this servant will never dare again.”
The great tiger, Qi Miao, slowly lowered its head and extended its tongue to lick the old maid’s cheek…
The old maid was instantly paralyzed by fear, thinking, My God! It’s about to start eating her.
Suddenly, she let out a terrified scream, her eyes rolling back as she fainted to the ground, a puddle slowly forming under her skirt, accompanied by a strong smell of urine wafting through the air.
Qi Miao stepped back in disgust; this human was so easily frightened, just a lick and she had peed herself and even fainted, no fun at all.
Seeing this, the remaining old maids quickly knelt on the ground, banging their heads hard, “Miss, spare our lives! Miss.”
Xuexue said impatiently, “Get lost.”
The old maids, as if bearing a grave responsibility, shakily got up, intending to flee.
The old maids immediately froze, not daring to move forward, turning around to steal a glance at the great tiger standing beside Xuexue, they asked with trepidation, “Miss, do you have any other orders?”
Xuexue pointed towards the old maid who had fainted on the ground and said, “Drag this dog servant away, don’t dirty my place.”
The old maids approached cautiously, always wary of the great tiger’s every move.
Fearing that it might suddenly give in to its animal instincts and pounce on them to eat them.
Finally reaching the old maid who had fainted, they couldn’t care less about the strong smell of urine on her body, they picked her up and quickly left.
After this turmoil, the day had already brightly dawned, with the Rising Sun slowly rising in the east.
Xuexue, supporting Madam Xie, was just about to return to the courtyard when Situ Yongjie’s hearty laughter came from behind, “Xuexue, daddy has come to see you!”
Xuexue turned back and saw Situ Yongjie in an official robe, his stature tall and his demeanor dashing, no wonder he had completely charmed Lady Tang, the vile lady, he must have been an exceptionally handsome man in his youth.
“Dad, your daughter thought you didn’t recognize her!” Seeing him in an official robe, Xuexue knew that Situ Yongjie had just returned from the morning court.
“Nonsense! Dad traveled thousands of miles to find you, I can hardly contain my love for you, how could I not want you!” Situ Yongjie was in a great mood, as The Emperor had just informed him during the court session that his biological daughter was found, and he even particularly invited Xuexue to attend the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet in a few days.
Xuexue was aware that being new, if she wanted to establish herself in the General’s Mansion, she must rely on Situ Yongjie to stand her ground, so she said, “But the maids and old maids all said they do not recognize me, and they even told us to do work.”
