Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 1134 Miss Zhang

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134 Miss Zhang

"Thank you, Miss Situ."

Miss Zhang stood up from the ground and positioned herself beside Wealthy Master Zhang and his wife.

"Since Miss Zhang is fine, we’ll take our leave now." Xuexue finished speaking, then prepared to leave with Zi Xia.

At this moment, Wealthy Master Zhang’s mind was racing. Their family had thoroughly offended Prince Pu’s Mansion, and it was highly possible that Prince Pu would come looking for them in the future. Seeing that Miss Situ was about to step into her carriage...

Wealthy Master Zhang snapped back to reality and quickly chased after them. "Miss Situ, wait! Miss Situ, please wait!"

Xuexue stopped in her tracks, slightly surprised, and turned her head back. "Uncle Zhang, is there something else?"

"Miss Situ, I beg you, please save our daughter!" Wealthy Master Zhang hurriedly ran in front of Xuexue, fell to his knees with a thud, and began kowtowing fervently.

"Thud, thud, thud...!" Wealthy Master Zhang seemed completely numb to the pain, his forehead pounding repeatedly and heavily against the ground.

Xuexue frowned. "Stop that. Hurry and get up."

"If Miss Situ won’t agree to this lowly man’s request, I won’t stand up."

"What exactly is going on?"

"I’m begging you, please take my daughter in!"

"Huh?" Xuexue looked completely bewildered, unable to react for a moment. She blinked her eyes. "Take her in? What do you mean by ’take her in’?"

To be honest, she wasn’t a man—how was she supposed to "take Miss Zhang in"?

Zi Xia couldn’t help but place her hand against her forehead, clearly exasperated and feeling second-hand embarrassment. Miss Situ’s intelligence was simply too lacking; even now she couldn’t figure out that Wealthy Master Zhang was hoping Miss Situ would bring Miss Zhang into the General’s Mansion for protection.

"Miss Situ, please, I implore you to fulfill this lowly man’s request." Wealthy Master Zhang continued kowtowing on the ground with desperate intensity.

Xuexue started, "But..."

Not waiting for Xuexue to finish her sentence, Zi Xia, afraid she would say something embarrassing, tugged on her quickly and leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Miss Situ, Wealthy Master Zhang means that he’s worried about retaliation from Prince Pu’s Mansion. He wants you to bring Miss Zhang into the General’s Mansion for protection!"

"Oh!"

Xuexue finally realized what was going on. So that’s how it was! She thought to herself—how could she, a young lady, possibly "take in" Miss Zhang? It all made sense now.

Wealthy Master Zhang looked at Xuexue with pitiful, pleading eyes. "Miss Situ, is it possible for you to do this?"

Xuexue felt conflicted. She glanced at the delicate and refined Miss Zhang—such a proper young lady of the family—making her a maid wouldn’t seem appropriate. "What can she do?"

"My daughter excels in handiwork, particularly embroidery and craftsmanship. It’s very popular; when her embroideries were sold on the street, many prominent families rushed to purchase them!" Speaking of his daughter’s embroidery talents, Wealthy Master Zhang’s face lit up with an immensely proud smile.

His daughter was both beautiful and talented at needlework, and in the Capital, she had gained a bit of a reputation. She could have married into a good family, but a stroke of misfortune brought her into the orbit of Tang Jinghao, that disgraceful young scoundrel, and her fate took a sharp turn.

Such was life—while Prince Pu’s Mansion lacked political authority, it was still far beyond what ordinary folks like them could stand up against.

Xuexue nodded. "Alright, then. Bring her to the General’s Mansion tomorrow."

"No, no, no, Miss Situ—you must take her away right now, please." Wealthy Master Zhang wore an anxious expression, shaking his head repeatedly and waving his hands, eager to send his daughter away immediately.

"No need to rush. Spend tonight as a family and cherish these moments together."

"There’s no need, Miss Situ. Please, just take her away now."

Xuexue exchanged a glance with Zi Xia before turning back to Wealthy Master Zhang. "There’s really no need to rush."

"This lowly man fears unforeseen dangers as time drags on... Miss Situ, I beg you, take her away now!" He finished speaking and knocked his head against the ground twice more, hard enough for blood to seep through his forehead.
