The Old Madam, knowing that Xuexue wasn't favored in the War Prince's Mansion, exchanged a few pleasantries and then bid farewell to return to her courtyard.
In the hall.
With the Old Madam gone, only Situ Yongjie and Situtu Qinger along with their siblings stayed to chat with Xuexue.
Situ Yongjie: "Xuexue, your mother passed away early, and your father, being a rough man, doesn't really understand the many things concerning a young woman. I don't know what to instruct you, I just want to tell you to serve the Prince well. The Prince is a hero of his generation, and you'll not suffer a loss by being with him."
Xuexue smiled gently. Long Rui truly treated her well, and they had spent some time together in the Mo Family Village, developing a deep affection. She was quite satisfied with this marriage, though the only flaw was that Long Rui had too many women in the mansion, making daily life feel like a battleground, which was a bit annoying: "Don't worry, Dad, I know my place."
