"Madam, didn’t the doctor also say that the Heavenly Master is fine? In his current situation, falling asleep is actually a good thing." The steward, busy serving tea to the guests, forced a smile and said.

As dawn broke, guests arrived at the Celestial Master’s Mansion in an unending stream, and it hasn’t stopped yet. Due to Celestial Master Zhang’s serious illness, Lady Zhang has no mind to attend to them.

The steward, hoping to regain the madam’s trust, bustled around attending to the guests, busy yet cheerful, in the hope that the madam would appreciate his diligence and not remove him from his steward position.

Madam glared at him harshly and said, "You meddling mouth, regarding last night’s affair, I haven’t even settled the account with you yet."

The steward heard this and immediately dared not make another sound.

Everyone was puzzled, wondering what happened last night; could the Heavenly Master’s injury be related to the steward?

"Madam, is it possible that the steward is involved with the Heavenly Master’s situation? Don’t be afraid; tell us what’s going on, we’ll stand up for you." Everyone angrily expressed their support, fearing Lady Zhang was being intimidated by the steward. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

How outrageous, a servant blackmailing the master is intolerable; Moli Country absolutely does not permit such situations.

The steward’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly explained, "Everyone misunderstood, misunderstood; the Honorable Celestial Master’s situation is absolutely unrelated to this servant."

Obviously, no one believed the steward anymore; they all stared intently at Lady Zhang.

Lady Zhang glanced at everyone and slowly said, "The Old Master’s affair indeed has nothing to do with the steward."

Only then did the steward breathe a sigh of relief, genuinely afraid the madam would take revenge by blaming the Heavenly Master’s injury on him, in which case he’d never clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Everyone finally let go of their hostility towards the steward, relieved it wasn’t a case of a wicked servant bullying the master.

Just then, the doorkeeper came rushing in, reporting that the Fourth Prince had arrived.

Upon hearing this, Lady Zhang quickly stood up, preparing to go out to welcome the Fourth Prince. Unexpectedly, after taking just two steps, she saw the Fourth Prince walking in, and hastily bowed to greet him: "Your humble servant greets the Fourth Prince."

The Fourth Prince glanced at the hall, mostly filled with court officials, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Lady Zhang, no need to be formal. Upon hearing that Celestial Master Zhang encountered an accident last night, I specially came to visit."

Lady Zhang: "The Fourth Prince is most considerate; on behalf of the Old Master, I thank the Fourth Prince."

The Fourth Prince, feeling somewhat guilty, said, "Speaking of it, the Heavenly Master is considered my senior as well; seeing him in trouble, it’s only right to come and check. Honestly, the affair with my senior brother is to blame on me."

Lin Kong had become the Fourth Prince’s Master. Lady Zhang had heard Celestial Master Zhang mention this before, so it wasn’t surprising to her. What puzzled her was why the Fourth Prince said the Old Master’s injury was his fault.

Thus, Lady Zhang promptly said, "Fourth Prince, what are you saying? How can the Old Master’s injury be your fault? It’s all those damned villains who did this."

The Fourth Prince waved his hand and said, "No, if I hadn’t prevented Master from returning to the Celestial Master’s Mansion, none of this would have happened to the Heavenly Master."

Lady Zhang paused, puzzled, and asked, "Why does the Fourth Prince say this? What does Young Master Zhao have to do with it?"

The Fourth Prince: "Master is highly skilled in martial arts, with him overseeing the Celestial Master’s Mansion, assassins definitely wouldn’t dare easily cause trouble. Even if someone did come, Master could handle the situation, and Senior Brother wouldn’t have been so grievously injured."

Lady Zhang was completely stunned, indeed! That cursed star has martial arts skill; why hadn’t she thought of this?

But now it’s too late, regret is futile, and Celestial Master Zhang’s hand is already lost.
