Situ Zhi pouted his lips, lowered his head, and muttered somewhat unwillingly: "It's true! Everyone in the manor retires early, yet she's the one with panda eyes. She must have taken advantage of her power to roam around unchecked and did something indecent in secret."
In the manor's rules, anyone else wishing to leave had to ask for Xuexue's permission, as she was the one in charge of the household.
Situ Zhi had always looked down on Xuexue, this young lady who came back from the countryside, yet ironically, one still had to report to her when leaving the house, inevitably filling him with resentment.
The Old Madam looked at Xuexue: "Xuexue, what on earth happened to you? You look as if you haven't slept all night."
Xuexue appeared hesitant to speak: "Grandmother, I... ."
Old Madam: "What is it?"
Seeing this, Situ Zhi couldn't help but snort coldly again and mockingly said: "Surely it was something disgraceful, too ashamed to speak of it."
