Old Madam Situ scolded Situ Yongjie thoroughly and without restraint.
Situ Yongjie felt helpless about Old Madam's behavior and understood clearly in his heart that Old Madam doted on Situ Zhi so much because he was the only male in the General's Mansion, and she feared that if something happened to him, the lineage of the mansion would end.
"Mother, Zhizhi is not young anymore, we shouldn't spoil him like this."
"You know he is not young, and yet you still hit him?" Old Madam gently caressed the palm print on Situ Zhi's face, feeling extremely distressed.
"Grandmother, it hurts," Situ Zhi took the opportunity to act coquettishly.
"Oh my dear sweet grandson!" Old Madam exclaimed while turning her head to loudly shout at the maids, "Hurry and get some ointment over here."
A perfectly good meal ended amidst such an atmosphere.
Situ Qing'er stepped out of the hall and muttered softly as she passed by Xuexue, "What a jinx."
