The Old Madam clearly appeared to be in great pain, yet she struggled to sit up. It was evident that she had urgent matters to instruct Situ Yongjie.
Situ Yongjie immediately moved to the bedside and placed a pillow behind her: "Mother, is there something you wish to command?"
"First, deal with the Mo family's matters, make sure they stop spreading nonsense outside. It will ruin the reputation of our General's Mansion." Despite her discomfort, the Old Madam remained fixated on this matter.
Indeed, a prominent family values reputation greatly. Moreover, Situ Yongjie serves as an official in court; if this issue is not handled well, it could impact his career.
The Old Madam was naturally anxious. Without instructing Situ Yongjie properly to resolve this issue, she could not rest at ease.
"Mother, rest assured, I will handle it appropriately."
"That's good!"
"Mother, cast your worries aside. The key now is for you to lie down and recover properly."
