Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 994 is Outrageous

"Mother-in-law, look at that girl Xuexue. As an unmarried young lady, she actually runs outside in the middle of the night. If word gets out, it would be highly improper. If we continue to indulge her like this, and if a scandal occurs in the future, it would be the reputation of our General’s Mansion that is tarnished."

Ever since Auntie Tang returned to the mansion from the manor, she has been closely monitoring Xuexue’s every move, because Xuexue changed all the servants that originally worked in the mansion, making it very inconvenient for her to carry out her plans.

In order to monitor Xuexue constantly, she spent a good deal of money to bribe and reemploy a few maids in the mansion to act as her eyes and ears on Xuexue.

Just then, in the evening, a maid from Qingyuo Pavilion quietly came over and told her: "The young lady has been out for the entire day and has not returned yet."

Upon hearing the news, Auntie Tang jumped up in excitement and immediately ordered the maid to go back and continues surveillance, and if Xuexue still hasn’t returned within half a shichen, to come and report immediately.

The maid agreed with a sound and turned to leave.

This half a shichen, if it had been any ordinary time, would have slipped by quickly, but at this moment, for Auntie Sun, it was extremely agonizing.

Just as she was nearly dying of impatience, the informant from Qingyuo Pavilion returned: "Auntie Tang, the young lady still hasn’t returned!"

"Good! That wretched girl, now I’ve caught her red-handed." On hearing this, Auntie Tang was beaming with joy, and with a wave of her hand to the maids behind her, she said: "Reward, I want to give a generous reward."

The personal maid took out several Silver Pieces from her bosom and handed them to the informant maid: "Take these, this is the reward from Auntie Tang. You must perform well in the future, and there will be benefits for you."

Upon seeing the large silver dollars, the maid couldn’t help but be overjoyed and hastily reached out to take them.

These maids, having signed a life-death contract, normally receive such a pitiful stipend that barely anything is left after buying some day-to-day necessities.

Moreover, the majority of the maids in the mansion were of the age when they were most concerned with beauty, naturally wishing to purchase some rouge and face powder, jewelry, headwear and such to adorn themselves and look more attractive.

They all harbored hopes that someday they would catch the eye of some young nobleman who would take them away from servitude, allowing them to lead a life of luxury.

The maid bit down hard on the Silver Pieces she had just received.

"Ouch!"

Who knew that, being too excited and using too much force, she accidentally bit her tooth hard, causing her whole face to contort in pain.

"Are you silly? This is silver, not gold. Did you think you have teeth made of copper and iron that could bite through it?" Auntie Tang’s personal maid, seeing this, sneered contemptuously.

"Hehehe! Thank you, Auntie Tang!"

The maid covered her mouth with her hand, foolishly chuckling, holding the silver dollars in her hand, even if it hurt, she didn’t feel the pain.

Auntie Tang laughed dismissively: "You go back now, don’t let anyone find out you came here to see me."

"Yes! This maid obeys."

The maid holding the Silver Pieces happily walked away.

Auntie Tang stood up as well: "Let’s go, to the Old Madam’s place."

The maid caught on immediately to her intentions.

After all, within the entire General’s Mansion, besides General Situ, only the Old Madam could discipline the young lady.

An unmarried girl returning late at night, if word spread, it would be a catastrophic blow to her reputation.

The Old Madam is a person who cares about face, and would never allow such an incident to occur.

It goes without saying that, once she finds out about Xuexue’s late-night absence, she would unleash her thunderous anger. Thinking this, Auntie Tang’s lips curled into a smile, her heart thinking: It’s about time for that little wretch to experience misfortune.
