Xuexue looked troubled, and said apologetically, "Grandmother, don't be fooled by my glamorous appearance. It's really just an empty shell, and I don't actually have any money. I'm afraid I can't help you, Grandmother."
Before the Old Madam could speak, Situtu Qinger immediately interjected, "How could Big Sister not have money? Running such a big brothel, if she doesn't want to help, she should just say so instead of making excuses."
Hearing this, the Old Madam's face immediately darkened. This granddaughter ultimately saw them as outsiders. She wanted to give up, but felt unwilling, so she spoke earnestly, "Xuexue, don't forget, even if you're married into the War Prince's Mansion, the General's Mansion is still your support. As long as our General's Mansion is well, you will be too."
If those words had come from Situ Yongjie, Xuexue might have believed them, but not the Old Madam.
Xuexue stood up from her seat, "Since Grandmother has nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
