Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2022: Exhausted
Capítulo 2022: Chapter 2022: Exhausted
In the carriage, Celestial Master Zhang and his disciple were well-fed and drunk at the War Prince’s Mansion, with Madam Situ personally attending to them, feeling quite comfortable. Even the usually stern Lin Kong was in a good mood.
“Disciple, tomorrow we’ll go to Purple Cloud Mountain to see if that tiger is indeed the Thousand Year Striped Tiger.”
“Alright! Master, this trip wasn’t for nothing. Not only did we enrage the War Prince half to death, but we also got the news about the Thousand Year Striped Tiger.”
“Hmm!” Lin Kong nodded and said, “Madam Situ is just an ordinary woman, just a bit good-looking. As long as you flatter her, she’ll say everything. She wasn’t as cunning and difficult as you said before.”
Celestial Master Zhang also found it strange. “Yeah! This girl was hard to deal with before; today, she’s so easy to talk to for some reason.”
“Who cares! We achieved our goal, that’s what matters.”
“Yes, indeed, Master.”
At that moment, the sedan stopped. Before they got off, they heard the guards at the door shouting, “Oh! The Heavenly Master is finally back, that’s great.”
Celestial Master Zhang got off the sedan, glanced at them, and looked a bit displeased, saying, “What’s all this fuss about? Don’t you have any manners?”
The guards felt a bit aggrieved and said, “Heavenly Master, we’ve been worried about you all day.”
The Heavenly Master inexplicably glared at them and said, “What’s there to worry about me? If you keep making a fuss, you should worry about your own butts!”
Although the guards felt aggrieved inside, they dared not say anything more. After all, they were just servants, and they had to obediently agree: “Yes.”
Celestial Master Zhang led Lin Kong into the mansion. Along the way, the servants who saw them all gave them strange looks.
After taking a few small paths, Lin Kong couldn’t hold it anymore and asked, “Disciple, is something going on in the mansion? Why are their looks so strange?”
Celestial Master Zhang also felt uneasy. The atmosphere in the mansion was indeed odd today. Just then, a maid carrying a wooden basin passed by. He quickly stopped her: “Hey, hey, hey! Stop for a moment, this Heavenly Master has something to ask you.”
“At your command.” The maid stopped and obediently replied.
Celestial Master Zhang looked at her with sharp eyes and asked, “Did something happen in the mansion today? Why is everyone acting so strangely?”
The maid lowered her head and answered, “Heavenly Master, nothing happened in the mansion. Madam is fine; she’s resting in her room.”
“Really, nothing happened?”
“No, everything’s fine.” The maid didn’t dare to say that the Madam had sold all his treasures.
Celestial Master Zhang stared at her, unassured, and asked again, “Really?”
The maid, with her head down, insisted, “Yes.”
Celestial Master Zhang: “Hmm, you may go.”
“Yes.” The maid breathed a sigh of relief, carrying the wooden basin and gradually walking away. If she told the Heavenly Master now that the Madam sold all his treasures, the Heavenly Master would surely vent his anger on her. It would be different if the Madam told him herself. The couple would bear it themselves, not involving innocent people.
Celestial Master Zhang said to Lin Kong: “Master, after messing around outside all morning, you’re probably tired. You should go rest in your room. I’ll go see the Madam.” 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Lin Kong nodded and walked off with his hands behind his back.
Shortly after, a furious shout came from Celestial Master Zhang’s chamber: “What? You actually sold all my treasures?”
“Old Master, don’t be angry. I did this to save you!” Inside came Lady Zhang’s helpless voice.
