Regarding Situtu Qinger's provocation, Xuexue felt unshaken, a person about to die should be allowed to make a fuss for a few more days, sooner or later letting her taste the pain of her prior life.
Here, except for the few of them, there was no one around; Xuexue hardly bothered acting, she held her head high and strode away without glancing sideways.
"Dear me! Look, how did this little cheap person become so arrogant?" Watching Xuexue's departing figure, Situ Yu said incredulously to her two elder sisters, "Could it be that she thinks with our grandmother's blessing, she can walk sideways in the General's Mansion."
In the end, she spat, "Pah! Dream on!"
Situtu Qinger felt deeply regretful - just because of an earlier missed move in her strategy; now that Old Madam had grown wary of her, regaining her favor seemed no easy task.
