Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2037: Pleading for Mercy

Regarding this point, Lady Zhang naturally had also heard about it. Situtu Xueer had business to manage outside, and she was really afraid that she would just leave like that. So, in her anxiety, she blurted out, "Madam Situ, I want to ask you about my Old Master’s matter."

"Oh? What matter?" Xuexue feigned ignorance and asked with a frown.

She was now incomparable to her past life. At this time in her previous life, she devoted herself entirely to that scoundrel Fourth Prince, loved him even more than herself, thinking for him in every way, losing herself. Since her rebirth, she learned her lesson, not only diligently earning money but also establishing a small treasury for herself. Additionally, she secretly set up an organization specifically for gathering intelligence.

The news that Celestial Master Zhang did not return last night and that Lin Kong went to stay at an inn had already reached Xuexue.

Yesterday, she and Little Tiger specially went to Purple Peak Mountain, on purpose to lure Celestial Master Zhang and his disciple into the mountain, because there was a gang of vicious bandits inside who would rob and commit any evil deeds. Xuexue wanted to use them to deal with Celestial Master Zhang and his group.

Last night, Celestial Master Zhang didn’t come back, and Xuexue wasn’t sure if he encountered the bandits.

Lady Zhang was unaware of all this and only knew that her Old Master was missing, and without a backbone, she felt insecure. However, as Xuexue was Long Rui’s woman, she couldn’t go too far, so she had to ask mildly, "Madam Situ, I heard from the Master that Old Master went to Purple Peak Mountain because of you, is that right?"

As soon as Xuexue heard this, she laughed, "Wife of the Celestial Master, you really think highly of me. How could a small woman like me have such great ability to command the current Celestial Master to go anywhere?"

Lady Zhang: "But... the Master’s Master said...!"

Before she could finish speaking, Xuexue impatiently said, "What’s Lin Kong’s real intention? A grown man still spreading gossip. Does he want to intentionally instigate a war between the War Prince’s Mansion and the Celestial Master’s Mansion, letting the two mansions fight so he can profit from the chaos?"

"What profit from the chaos?" Lady Zhang was obviously taken aback.

Xuexue maintained her composure and said again, "I don’t know what his intentions are, but he definitely doesn’t mean well. Lady, perhaps you still remember? A few days ago, it was because of this Lin Kong that a fight broke out, leaving dozens of guards in our mansion seriously injured."

Lady Zhang nodded. How could she forget? Because of that incident, they lost five hundred thousand taels of silver, and until now, just thinking about it still pained her heart. Damn it, five hundred thousand taels of silver! That was the lifetime savings of her and her husband, gone just like that. Because of it, she even fell seriously ill, and her body remained weak. If the Old Master hadn’t disappeared, she would still be lying in bed.

So, Lady Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, I remember."

Such unforgettable pain, it’s unlikely to be forgotten in this lifetime. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Xuexue glanced at the heartbroken Celestial Master Zhang and added, "The matter of Lin Kong injuring people at the War Prince’s Mansion angered the Prince greatly, and he said he must destroy the Celestial Master’s Mansion to quell his anger. I thought about Celestial Master Zhang’s usual good nature and couldn’t bear it, so I pleaded on his behalf, and only then did the Prince agree to settle it by compensating with silver, otherwise, whether the Celestial Master’s Mansion still exists would be questionable!"

After hearing Xuexue’s words, Lady Zhang was secretly shocked, indeed! Everything that happened in the Celestial Master’s Mansion recently stemmed from Lin Kong. The Old Master trusted him so much, if he really intended to harm the Celestial Master’s Mansion, it would be very easy. No, she must watch this person closely in the future and have the Old Master be on guard as well.
