"Mother, what time is it now? How can you still have the mind to talk about these things?"
Situtu Yongjie expressed great dissatisfaction with the Old Madam's actions, constantly talking about how much she loved and cared for her grandson, yet at this time, she was actually considering how to marry off Xuexue.
During this period, he was somewhat aware of the discord between the Old Madam and Xuexue. He knew that sometimes the Old Madam would deliberately suggest marrying her off to put her at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, in this period, the War Prince was seriously ill, and everyone said he wouldn't survive the New Year. At this point, the Old Madam actually suggested marrying her to the War Prince; wasn't that pushing Xuexue into a fire pit?
"Jiejie, you're really foolish. The War Prince needs someone to bring him luck right now. If Xuexue marries over, she'll find a good home. If this brings luck, and the War Prince recovers, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"
