Chapter 1433: Letting Bygones Be Bygones
"If I say I bear no grudges, would you believe me?"
"Do you think it's fun to toy with someone as down-and-out as me?"
"Why does sister say such things?"
"It's obvious; we are enemies, why pretend to be friendly?"
Xuexue smiled and said, "Sister, where did our feud come from?"
"Because of a man."
"So sister loves the Prince?"
"Love? Haha! Rumor has it the War Prince is as ugly as a ghost. Any woman who truly loves him would be the world's greatest oddity."
"Haven't you heard that beauties love heroes? Appearance doesn't mean everything."
"I'm just a commoner; I care about looks."
"Alright, since sister doesn't love the Prince, why become my enemy?"
"For power, for the position of Princess Consort. Don't you know, you're too beautiful and captivating; men are easily smitten with you. When I see you, I feel threatened." At this moment, without reservations, Madam Wang spoke freely.
"Now I don't have that connection, do I? Could it be that sister still wishes to return to the War Prince's Mansion?"
Suddenly, Madam Wang glared at Xuexue fiercely, turned away from her, and fell silent.
Clearly, Xuexue's words deeply wounded her.
"What's wrong?"
"Leave. I don't want to talk to you anymore."
"Do you really want to spend your whole life receiving guests in the brothel?"
"Life and death are destined, wealth is determined by fate. After all these years, I've gotten used to the brothel life; it doesn't matter."
"If it truly doesn't matter, you wouldn't have worked so hard in the War Prince's Mansion. You feared going back to life in the brothel, so you fought to climb higher, to secure your status. Isn't that right, sister?"
"...."
Madam Wang remained silent, which was tacit consent to Xuexue's words.
"I know you're the Owner of Qinger Building. Since I'm in your hands, I accept it."
Lying in bed for a few days, Madam Wang gathered information and was shocked to discover that Xuexue was the Owner of the brothel. She couldn't believe that a girl who returned from the countryside had such capabilities, running such a large brothel in the Capital's prime locations.
None of the other distinguished ladies could have achieved this.
In her heart, she gained a new understanding of Xuexue, feeling more admiration and respect for her.
"If you work for me, maybe you won't have to become a prostitute." Xuexue's voice floated lightly.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang finally reacted, turning around with incredulous disbelief in her voice: "What did you say?"
"Work for me."
"I won't do anything like murder or arson."
"Haha...!"
Xuexue chuckled and said, "Who was it that poisoned me in the War Prince's Mansion?"
Because of that incident, Madam Wang was not only dismissed by the War Prince but also expelled from the War Prince's Mansion, leading to her current situation.
Logically, Madam Wang should hate Situtu Xueer deeply, and in fact, she did. She hated the woman before her for ruining everything, but as the saying goes, a person under someone else's roof must bow.
"At that time, I was momentarily possessed, and I truly regret it."
"Whether true or false, as long as you work for me, I won't treat you poorly."
"What exactly do you want me to do?" Clearly, Madam Wang still didn't fully trust Xuexue.
"Manage the brothel. You're well-acquainted with this line of work; it shouldn't be difficult."
"What?"
Madam Wang couldn't believe her ears when Xuexue uttered those words.
