Chapter 952: Chapter 952: Darling Bump

"Little Young Master, don’t be afraid, Nanny is here with you!" The Old Maid kept patting his back, comforting the wailing Situ Zhi.

"Nanny, why do I feel my hands are so dirty? It’s so scary."

Situ Zhi kept wiping his palms, it was these very hands that he had climbed out of the dry well holding a skull. Ever since he knew it was a skull that he had clutched, he hadn’t stopped vigorously rubbing his hands, almost rubbing the skin raw, turning it red and raw.

"Oh dear! Little ancestor, stop rubbing, you’re going to bleed!" Seeing the boy distressed, the Old Maid urgently grabbed Situ Zhi’s hands to stop his rubbing.

"But they’re so dirty." Situ Zhi cried and wailed.

"Nanny will take you to wash your hands clean, that should be fine, stop rubbing, little ancestor, I’m begging you, Old Madam will be heartbroken to see this."

No matter how the Old Maid tried to soothe him, Situ Zhi continued to cry and desperately rub his palms, as if he wished he could chop off his own hands.

The Old Maid, at her wit’s end and not knowing what to do, watched as the Old Madam hurried over with a Maid.

"Zhizhi, my dear grandson, are you alright?" From afar, the Old Madam was calling out and rushing over in a fluster.

"Whaaah...!"

Hearing the voice of the Old Madam, Situ Zhi cried louder, tears streaming down as he looked up in her direction and pitifully wailed, "Grandmother."

"Oh dear! My poor dear grandson, you must have been so frightened," said the Old Madam, coming forward to hold Situ Zhi in her embrace.

"I was terrified! Grandmother, there are skulls in the well, so many skulls, and just now Zhizhi went down the well and stepped on them!" Situ Zhi shivered in the Old Madam’s arms.

In the garden, a few house servants were still gathering skulls from the dry well. It seemed they had been doing this for a while, as there was a large pile of skulls and skeletons next to the well.

At a glance, there were no less than a dozen skeletons.

And more so, there were house servants still fishing them out from the well, occasionally tossing up another skull or bone, the scene was indeed eerie and terrifying.

Seeing her grandson so frightened, the Old Madam felt deeply pained. She turned around, unhappy, and scolded the Old Maid, "You should know better, knowing that the Little Young Master is scared, you should have taken him back to the house and given him a cup of Calming Tea to settle his nerves, instead of letting him stay in this kind of atmosphere, making him even more afraid."

The Old Maid was also frightened by the skeletons in the dry well. So many skeletons appearing in the well she passed by several times each day, and she had never noticed.

Thinking of this, the Old Maid felt a chill run down her spine, and with Situ Zhi’s relentless crying and self-harm, she was so harried by the noise and so busy trying to stop him from hurting himself that she momentarily forgot to take the Little Young Master away from the garden.

"This old servant will take the Eldest Young Master away immediately," the Old Maid responded after realizing her mistake.

"Zhizhi, dear, go back with Nanny and have a bowl of Calming Tea and you’ll stop being afraid," said the Old Madam, pulling Situ Zhi out of her embrace to hand him over to the Old Maid.

"No, Zhizhi wants Grandmother to accompany him."

"Grandmother needs to handle things here, wait a little while and I will come to accompany Zhizhi, is that okay?"

"Alright! But Grandmother must come quickly, Zhizhi is scared," Situ Zhi sobbed, his face smeared with tears and snot, his nose red from crying, looking pitifully miserable.

The Old Madam’s heart ached terribly; Situ Zhi was the treasure of the General’s Mansion, cherished abundantly from a young age, never before had she seen him cry like this.
