Chapter 1214: Bringing Back the Dead
Situ Qinger immediately felt a pang of guilt. She wasn’t stupid, she knew very well that bringing a dead person back was very inauspicious and thoroughly ominous.
Furthermore, the Old Madam had specially set up a Buddhist hall in the mansion, chanting sutras and worshipping the Buddha daily. She naturally believed in ghosts and gods.
Especially a while ago, it was said that the Heavenly Master helped the General’s Mansion capture many ghosts. Of course, this was inside information, and no one outside knew.
The servants in the mansion spread rumors privately; Situ Qinger was half-believing and half-doubting, feeling somewhat afraid. However, to topple Situtu Xueer, she was willing to take the risk.
"Grandmother, it’s so cold for you to be out here in the wind instead of staying in the courtyard!"
Situ Qinger stepped forward, forcing a smile on her face. This wretched old woman, how could she be so well-informed? She hadn’t even returned to the mansion yet, and she was already standing guard at the gate.
The Old Madam’s face was overshadowed, her sharp gaze fixed on Situ Qinger. She thought, this damned girl, what great courage she had, to actually dare to bring a dead person back to the mansion? It was simply the Courage of Bear’s Heart and Leopard’s Gall.
Just earlier, a young maid came running to report, saying that for some reason, the funeral procession had returned from the city gate. Because of this incident, the entire Capital was in an uproar, many people followed behind the funeral procession to watch the spectacle, urging the Old Madam to quickly think of a way to respond.
As soon as the Old Madam heard, Auntie Tang’s corpse was being brought to the mansion, it was outrageous. She immediately hurried to the gate with maids and old maids, fearing that if she were a step late, Situ Qinger might succeed. Such an unlucky event must never happen in the General’s Mansion.
