Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

"The maid thinks she has ill intentions."

"How can you tell?"

"Think about it, the Third Miss usually doesn't say much, suddenly coming to the War Prince's Mansion, surely she has some scheme."

"Scheme?"

"Yes, either she's been bewitched by the Second Miss or incited by the Old Madam, purposefully coming to the War Prince's Mansion, to give the First Miss trouble."

"It's premature to say that now, let's observe the situation tomorrow."

After soaking feet in hot water, and tidying up, rest was sought on the bed.

The next morning, before Xuexue could get up, outside was already noisy.

Situ Dieer: "You all move aside quickly, I need to pay respects to my elder sister!"

Zi Xia: "Third Miss, madam came back late last night, hasn't slept long, don't disturb her."

Situ Dieer: "Disturb? That's quite the amusing word, she is my elder sister, am I disturbing her?"

Zi Xia's indignant voice arises: "Third Miss, this isn't the General's Mansion, you cannot act out here."

"How am I acting out? I'm simply a sister coming to greet my elder sister respectfully, yet you, a young maid, make it seem like I'm something else."

"The maid said, the First Miss has not risen, you should wait outside, yet you make noise here, Third Miss, you are a noble lady, knowledgeable of etiquette, do you find this appropriate?"

Xuexue furrowed her brow, awakened by the commotion, she sat up from the bed, unable to sleep anymore.

"Zi Xia, what's all the noise outside?"

Upon hearing the First Miss's query, Zi Xia immediately glared fiercely at Situ Dieer: "Are you happy now, you've woken the First Miss."

Situ Dieer smiled faintly, saying nothing more.

Zi Xia entered the room, assisted Xuexue in freshening up, after which Situ Dieer, accompanied by the maid, entered to pay respects.

"Elder sister, Dieer pays respects to you."

"What brings the Third Sister to suddenly visit, what business might it be?"

"No real business, just missed seeing elder sister for many days, hence I came to the War Prince's Mansion to trouble you."

"Is that so?"

Xuexue's piercing gaze fixated on Situ Dieer's facial expression, seeking trace clues from her face.

Situ Dieer normally kept a low profile in the General's Mansion, never took lead in affairs, truly a girl indifferent to worldly matters.

However, reality did not align with appearances.

In her previous life, shortly before her death, Xuexue learned from Situtu Qinger that this Situ Dieer was the most formidable opponent, the schemes by Auntie Tang and Situtu Qinger were all devised by her.

Situ Dieer was a powerful player, appearing as a good girl, yet truly lethal.

Apparently unable to endure Xuexue's sharp gaze, Situ Dieer suddenly covered her face and cried, saying while sobbing: "Elder sister, did you know? I can no longer live peacefully in the General's Mansion, truly desperate, I've come to rely on you."

Through the painful lessons of her previous life, Xuexue didn't believe her words at all.

However, isn't Situ Dieer fond of acting? Xuexue might as well play along with her theatrics.

"Third Sister, don't cry, what has happened, share with elder sister?" Xuexue walked forward, took a handkerchief, and carefully wiped away her tears, lovingly saying: "Look at your face, makeup all smeared, not pretty at all, you mustn't cry anymore."

"It... it... it's the Third Sister, she... she bullied me too harshly." As if gathering great courage, Situ Dieer managed to utter these words.
