Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 1276 Celestial Master Zhang

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276 Celestial Master Zhang

"No, no, no."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Old Madam heard the name Situtu Qinger, she immediately shook her head and waved her hand.

In her heart, she subconsciously believed that today’s troubles were all caused by Situtu Qinger, so she didn’t want to see that girl again.

"Grandmother, please hear me out before you refuse."

"Zhizhi, don’t plead for her. If not for her flawed plan, Old Lady Zhang wouldn’t have been beaten, and I wouldn’t have had such a miserable time these past few days."

Recalling how everything seemed off these past few days, the Old Madam was filled with anger, attributing all the mistakes to Situtu Qinger.

"Grandmother, let Zhizhi finish speaking."

Situ Zhi was pampered by the Old Madam since birth, so she still trusted his words deeply. She immediately said, "Alright, Zhizhi, go ahead."

Situ Zhi then recounted, with embellishments, what Situtu Qinger had just told him.

The Old Madam, always chanting prayers and worshipping Buddha, believed deeply in ghosts and gods, and was instantly shocked.

"What? You say Auntie Tang’s ghost has returned to the General’s Mansion?"

"Yes! Second Sister said she’s seen Mother for seven consecutive nights; it can’t be wrong."

"Oh my, why is our General’s Mansion so unlucky? It’s been one misfortune after another recently, and several lives have been lost." Upon hearing about the ghostly appearances, the Old Madam became flustered and anxious.

She knew very well how Auntie Tang died, and if her ghost had returned to the General’s Mansion, it must be seeking revenge, and none of them would escape.

Recalling Situtu Qinger’s words, Situ Zhi immediately said, "Grandmother, wasn’t the last problem in the mansion solved by the Heavenly Master? This time we should invite him again to help."

Celestial Master Zhang, the only Heavenly Master of the court, was proficient in divination, fortune-telling, and star observation. He was a remarkable person, greatly trusted by The Emperor, and held a prestigious position, making it not easy to invite him.

The last time happened by chance as he was passing by the General’s Mansion, and he conveniently helped them solve a major issue.

After finding out that those ghosts were the doing of Situ Zhi, the Old Madam was much stricter with him. Situ Zhi, as the only male heir to the General’s Mansion, was also its future successor and couldn’t become a murderous demon.

If he were ruined, the General’s Mansion would have no future, and the Old Madam saw this very clearly.

"Just give it a try."

"How would a woman like me have such influence?" The Old Madam was self-aware.

Indeed, as a mere woman, she only held authority within the General’s Mansion. Outside, no matter how noble her status was, she was merely a high society lady, insignificant compared to the court officials.

Situ Zhi’s eyes lit up, and he said, "If Grandmother can’t do it, Father can invite him. The Heavenly Master would definitely give him face."

The Old Madam was delighted upon hearing this, "Right, why didn’t I think of that? Just have your father invite him."

Deciding quickly, the Old Madam immediately, with a group of maids and old maids, marched imposingly to Situ Yongjie’s courtyard.

The Old Madam got straight to the point and explained her thoughts to Situ Yongjie.

Situ Yongjie was taken aback; being a military man, he didn’t believe much in ghosts and gods.

"Mother, you want to invite the Heavenly Master to the mansion to hunt ghosts?"

Recently, the Heavenly Master had been quite close to him, often asking if there were any matters like tigers in the mansion.

Regarding the big tiger matter, everyone in the Capital knew about it, and Situ Yongjie knew he couldn’t hide it, so he straightforwardly told him the whole story.
