Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2018: Causing Trouble

Celestial Master Zhang expressed some suspicion: "I remember, Madam Situ said the same thing last time, but I searched high and low and still couldn’t find it. Madam Situ, don’t try to fool me again. I’m old and frail; I can’t handle too much fuss."

Xuexue exclaimed: "What? Master, did you go searching?"

Celestial Master Zhang immediately caught on; the matter of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger must not be known by others, so he hastily said, "No, no, no, I just happened to pass by and helped Madam Situ look for it along the way."

Xuexue’s smile grew even sweeter: "Celestial Master Zhang is truly a good person!"

"Heh heh...!" Celestial Master Zhang felt somewhat guilty and quickly picked up his teacup to take a sip to cover it up.

Celestial Master’s Mansion.

Zi Xia, leading several guards, aggressively arrived at the Celestial Master’s Mansion. The guards at the entrance quickly stepped forward to block them, sternly asking, "Hey! Who are you people? Why are you trespassing on the Celestial Master Talisman?"

"Blind fools, can’t you even recognize me?" Zi Xia, with her hands on her hips, appeared arrogant.

The guards scrutinized Zi Xia up and down but still didn’t recognize the lady in front of them, so they asked in confusion, "Miss, who exactly are you?"

"Listen carefully, I’m from the War Prince’s Mansion. Hurry and call out the Wife of the Celestial Master; we have an urgent matter."

Upon hearing they were from the War Prince’s Mansion, the guards dared not delay and quickly ran inside to report to the Wife of the Celestial Master.

In no time, the Wife of the Celestial Master rushed out with a few maids... 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Young lady, I heard you’re from the War Prince’s Mansion. What on earth has happened?" The Old Master and his master went out early in the morning, leaving no one to oversee the mansion, so the Wife of the Celestial Master had to come out to handle the matter.

"Well, take a good look, is this the token of Celestial Master Zhang?" Zi Xia took out a Jade Pendant and waved it in front of the Wife of the Celestial Master.

"Yes, it is indeed the personal item of the Old Master. How did it end up in your hands? Did the Old Master go out gallivanting and got extorted by someone?"

"Do you know the Celestial Master is in trouble?"

"In trouble? What trouble? Did the Old Master go to the Yihong Brothel and forget to bring money?"

"What are you thinking? The Celestial Master went to the War Prince’s Mansion and killed someone; our Prince has detained him."

"What? Impossible, the Celestial Master would never do such a thing." The Wife of the Celestial Master clearly did not believe it. The Old Master was a wise person and would never do something so foolish.

"He wouldn’t, but the person claiming to be his master has killed many people from the War Prince’s Mansion. Our War Prince is furious and says he will take this matter to the Golden Throne Hall and let The Emperor see reason. Why should a Celestial Master casually bring people to slaughter in the War Prince’s Mansion?"

At the end, Zi Xia again waved the Jade Pendant in her hand and said, "As you can see, this Jade Pendant in my hand is the evidence."

"What?"

The Wife of the Celestial Master swayed, nearly falling to the ground. Luckily, a maid nearby supported her: "Madam, be careful."

The Old Master’s master was arrogant and possibly did such things. Not long ago, the Prime Minister, who was also the Father-in-law of the Emperor, was beheaded in public for angering the War Prince. The Old Master had no backing at court; what would they do if something really happened? The Wife of the Celestial Master was so frightened her face turned pale.

Zi Xia then took a note from her bosom and handed it to the Wife of the Celestial Master, saying, "Don’t be too nervous, madam. Our Prince said that as long as the Celestial Master gives this amount of Silver, our issue will be resolved!"

"What Silver?" The Wife of the Celestial Master took the note and, upon seeing it, her eyes widened. Oh my dear heavens! Why does it require so much Silver?

The pained expression of the Wife of the Celestial Master was noted by Zi Xia, who added, "Madam, you must weigh it carefully, whether this Silver or the Celestial Master’s life is more important."
