Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275 Human Trafficker

The maids all shivered and immediately got up from the ground to find tools to clean the room.

They had been sold by human traffickers since childhood, and it wasn’t easy to finally be sold into the General’s Mansion for a stable life. They didn’t want to suffer the destiny of being sold again.

The maids all ran out.

Situ Zhi walked to the Old Madam’s side and sat down.

"Grandmother, why bother getting angry with the servants? Too much anger is harmful to the body, and that’s not worth it."

The Old Madam looked troubled: "I don’t know what’s been happening. Everything seems unpleasant these days, and I just want to vent on someone."

"Grandmother, are you thinking of Old Lady Zhang?"

"Indeed, after decades of service, suddenly changing someone else is really hard to get used to."

"Once Nanny Zhang recovers, she can come back to serve you, so you don’t have to be sad, Grandmother."

The Old Madam nodded: "That’s right, she unjustly suffered dozens of beatings this time. It was hard on her, and when she returns, I must reward her well."

Situ Zhi was indifferent: "Why take it so seriously, Grandmother? No matter how good Nanny Zhang is, she’s still just a servant. It’s her duty to suffer on behalf of her master."

"Even though that’s true, I still feel guilty towards her."

Situ Zhi didn’t come to Refreshing Courtyard today just for a chat; he had a purpose.

Truth be told, Situtu Qinger had called for a maid to summon him to the courtyard early in the morning, asking him to speak to the Old Madam on her behalf and to obtain her permission for Qinger to visit Refreshing Courtyard to pay her respects. Building a good relationship with the Old Madam would be beneficial for the four siblings’ future lives.

Situ Zhi understood this reasoning and agreed without hesitation.

However, after seeing Situtu Qinger’s face clearly, he was startled: "Second Sister, it’s only been a few days, but why do you look so haggard?"

Speaking of this matter, Situtu Qinger was deeply troubled. For seven consecutive nights, she had the same nightmare. Now, at night, she didn’t even dare to sleep, fearing that as soon as she closed her eyes, she would see her mother with a skull-like face and hear her heartrending cries.

The cries called out, "Qinger, mother is in pain."

Those heart-wrenching screams struck Situtu Qinger’s heart brutally.

Situtu Qinger remained silent, her face turning even paler.

Situ Zhi was very puzzled and asked again: "Second Sister, what’s wrong with you?"

"Zhizhi, do you miss mother?"

"Yes."

During Auntie Tang’s lifetime, she cherished her only son, Situ Zhi, the most.

"What if I told you, Second Sister, that every night I see mother, would you believe me?"

Situ Zhi was taken aback: "How is that possible? Mother has already died, and her body was cremated. How could you see her? Second Sister, are you perhaps thinking of mother during the day and dreaming of her at night, making you think you really saw her?"

"No, even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe it. For seven consecutive nights, Second Sister dreamt of mother by the bedside, crying in pain, claiming she suffered from being burned by the fire." Thinking of the dream, where her mother’s face turned into a skull, Situtu Qinger shivered.

"That eerie?"

Situ Zhi also felt a bit scared listening to this. Mother’s body was cremated; if it’s indeed as Second Sister said, it might really be mother’s ghost returned.

"Second Sister, I hear from Grandmother that the current Heavenly Master is an expert in ghost hunting. Why not have Grandmother invite him to the General’s Mansion to take a look?"

Situtu Qinger had precisely this thought, which is why she called Situ Zhi over, to have him speak to the Old Madam and resolve the misunderstanding between her and the Old Madam.

"Grandmother, Second Sister misses you. Shouldn’t Grandmother consider seeing her face once?" Situ Zhi pondered for a moment and carefully suggested.
