Chapter 1282 Family Scandal
"I’m afraid there’s nothing this Heavenly Master can do." After saying this, Celestial Master Zhang turned to leave. However, his steps did not head towards the main gate but moved deeper into the mansion. He pretended to be lost, using the opportunity to scout around the General’s Mansion for evidence of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger’s presence. After all, his divination had indicated that the location of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger pointed to this direction.
"Hey, Heavenly Master! Heavenly Master, wait a moment, wait a moment." The Old Madam chased after him.
"What’s the matter? Did the Old Madam think it over?"
The Old Madam’s face showed a moment of hesitation before she seemed to make a decision and spoke earnestly to the Heavenly Master, "Heavenly Master, our Jiejie and you are both officials serving the Emperor; you must lend him your aid!"
"We are colleagues, so naturally." Celestial Master Zhang replied absent-mindedly.
Upon hearing this, the Old Madam seemed to have made a significant decision: "Actually, that woman Auntie Tang... even if she died, she deserved it."
The Old Madam’s abrupt comment finally grabbed Celestial Master Zhang’s attention: "Oh! The deceased should be respected. Why would the Old Madam say such a thing?"
"Ah! Every family has its own difficult story to tell."
"Feel free to share it."
"It’s a family scandal, all of it." The Old Madam’s face clouded over as she spoke about the matter: "This is a long story. Why don’t we sit in the parlor and talk slowly?"
