Chapter 943: Chapter 943 Lady Tang Returns to the Mansion
Old Madam was startled by the small cloth bag in Celestial Master Zhang’s hand, which bulged without any wind.
However, she knew that the Heavenly Master was performing a ritual, and she dared not disturb him rashly.
She just stood aside with a few Maids and Old Maids, watching with trepidation.
Soon, the small cloth bag in Celestial Master Zhang’s hand swelled enormously, and he quickly took out a rope from his bosom and tied up the opening of the bag.
“Master, what is this?” Old Madam asked tremulously.
“This is a Yin-Yang Bag, used specifically for containing Ghosts.”
“Are there ghosts inside?”
“Of course, otherwise why would it bulge like that! It doesn’t just contain one ghost, at least several hundred.”
Having heard this, Old Madam was shocked, “That can’t be. Would our General’s Mansion have so many Ghosts? Celestial Master Zhang, could there be a mistake?”
“This kind of thing, how could there be a mistake? If there was only one ghost, the Yin-Yang Bag wouldn’t bulge at all.”
After knowing the truth, the Old Madam was really annoyed, what exactly was Lady Tang doing as the head of the household? Killing so many maids, no wonder she frequently talked about changing servants, and the turnover rate was very high, always replacing servants after a period of ti. Previously, she always wondered how Lady Tang kept buying servants, where did all the servants sold by the Mansion go?
Today, it finally beca clear to everyone.
It turns out, she killed all of them, which is really shocking. The more Old Madam thought about it, the angrier she beca, Lady Tang was much crueler than her younger days.
After Celestial Master Zhang captured the Ghosts, he declared that he needed to inspect again to see if there were any that escaped the net.
The panic-stricken Old Madam naturally agreed readily, she couldn’t wait for Celestial Master Zhang to inspect the entire General’s Mansion!
After all, only then could it be ensured that there were no Ghosts left in the General’s Mansion.
Thus, with this legitimate reason, Celestial Master Zhang turned the General’s Mansion upside down but failed to find any trace of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger.
Finally, he left with the servants, a look of dejection on his face.
It was another day of busywork; it seed another thod needed to be devised to find information about the Thousand Year Striped Tiger.
Old Madam thought Celestial Master Zhang was unhappy because he hadn’t been rewarded with gold and silver treasures for helping the General’s Mansion with Ghost Hunting, so she quickly asked the servants to bring out a silver note of one thousand taels as paynt for him.
With the silver note received, Celestial Master Zhang gladly accepted.
Moreover, to him, one thousand taels were nothing; as a Celestial Master of the dynasty, the reward for Ghost Hunting was very high.
When Xuexue returned ho, she saw the mansion was clear and free from the previous gloomy atmosphere.
Indeed, after the Ghosts were captured, the Yin Energy in the mansion naturally dissipated a lot.
This Celestial Master Zhang indeed was a capable person, it would be better to avoid him in the future, Xuexue silently decided. Although she has space on her body and is not afraid he would discover Xiao Taohong, as the saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
The next day.
At noon, Lady Tang returned in a carriage.
Situ Qinger and her two siblings were overjoyed, they had eagerly looked forward to their mother’s return.
As Lady Tang stepped down from the carriage, Situ Zhi rushed forward and hugged her, choking up, “Mother, Zhi has missed you so much.”
“Silly child, why cry? You should be happy that Mother is back,” Lady Tang said, smiling as she patted his back.
Being able to return to the General’s Mansion this ti was largely thanks to this son, who spoke highly of her in front of Old Madam.
Old Madam finally allowed soone to bring her back.
“Look at you, you’ve gotten so thin since Mother was gone. Were you being stubborn and not eating properly again?” Lady Tang said affectionately as she caressed Situ Zhi’s still chubby face, her face full of heartache.
