Old Madam seemed to be lost in thought, as if she had not heard.
"Grandmother?"
"..."
Old Madam still did not respond, prompting Nurse Zhang to step forward and gently remind her: "Old Madam, the eldest young miss is calling you!"
"Ah?"
"The eldest young miss is calling you!"
"Oh!"
Finally coming back to her senses, Old Madam rubbed her temples. Just now, upon hearing of the trouble caused by Situ Zhi, she had been distracted. She looked up at Xuexue and asked, "What is it?"
Xuexue inwardly sneered; the Old Madam's reaction clearly showed she knew about Situ Zhi's deeds, yet, just like Auntie Tang, she chose to cover for him.
"Your granddaughter didn't sleep all night and is very tired. I'd like to go back to rest for a while."
"Hmm, go ahead."
Old Madam had no time to pay attention to Xuexue; the matter involving Situ Zhi, the family's only male heir, was of greater importance.
"You all may leave, except for Zhizhi."
