Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2058: Smug Satisfaction

After Celestial Master Zhang had a hearty meal and a good sleep, letting the Doctor treat his wounds, it was already dusk. He was still concerned about the Thousand Year Striped Tiger, so he sent someone to the Carefree Heart Inn to invite Lin Kong for a discussion.

Unexpectedly, the servant quickly returned with the report that Young Master Zhao was unavailable and suggested Celestial Master Zhang visit him in a few days.

Celestial Master Zhang was puzzled. His master was unfamiliar with the Capital’s life. What was he busy with?

"Did the Master mention where he went?"

"I’ve heard that he went to a gambling house."

The servant’s voice grew smaller, as Young Master Zhao’s actions clearly showed a lack of respect for Celestial Master Zhang.

Upon hearing this, Celestial Master Zhang didn’t say much. His master had just arrived in the Capital and found everything fascinating, so it was natural to spend a few days having fun.

In the following days, Lin Kong was still nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, Lady Zhang constantly whispered in Celestial Master Zhang’s ear about how terrible Lin Kong was. Initially, Celestial Master Zhang would scold his wife a few times, but gradually, he became silent.

"Old Master, while you were not here, Young Master Zhao was really bullying me, he even hit me!" As she spoke, Lady Zhang tearfully wiped her eyes in grievance.

"Really? Even though the Master is proud, he would never hit you out of respect for me." Celestial Master Zhang expressed disbelief.

"Old Master, how can you trust an outsider and not believe me? I’m the one closest to you."

"The Master isn’t that kind of person."

"Old Master, don’t you believe me?" Lady Zhang bowed her head, wiping tears sadly.

The steward couldn’t help but say, "Heavenly Master, everything the madam said is the truth; she didn’t deceive you."

Celestial Master Zhang impatiently waved his hand, "Go away, don’t add fuel to the fire when the madam is upset."

The steward immediately stepped aside and didn’t dare make a sound.

"Old Master, why are you yelling at the steward? He was just speaking in my favor out of goodwill." Lady Zhang pouted, crying as she spoke, "Moreover, even if the steward didn’t say anything, everyone in the Capital knows. You couldn’t cover up the truth even if you tried."

"What, for such trivial matters, you’re causing a storm throughout the Capital?" Celestial Master Zhang looked disapprovingly.

"Trivial, you say? In broad daylight, he kicked me, which everyone in the Capital saw. He can’t deny it even if he tried."

"What? The Master hit you outside?"

"Yes, and in front of all the people in the Capital. Old Master, he didn’t just hit me; he slapped your dignity."

"The Master... how could he do such a thing!" Celestial Master Zhang felt a mix of emotions; his Master showed him no respect at all by hitting his woman in front of others.

"He’s not a good person."

"Right, right, the Master isn’t a good person. Don’t be angry, madam."

"Old Master, you must be wary of him in the future."

"Yes, yes, be wary."

"Don’t brush it off; I’m serious."

"Serious, the Master is outrageous, hitting you in front of others."

"Old Master, do you know? Ever since you went missing, Young Master Zhao has been too horrible."

"What did the Master do again?"

"He said that your disappearance is related to Madam Situ, so in anger, I went to make trouble at the War Prince’s Mansion."

"You... you... how could you cause trouble at the War Prince’s Mansion?" The last time Lin Kong caused a ruckus, it cost them five hundred thousand taels of silver, a loss that still pains Celestial Master Zhang.

"It was Young Master Zhao’s deliberate instigation, but fortunately, Madam Situ was generous enough not to hold it against me. Before I left, she even gave me many gifts." At this point, Lady Zhang was somewhat smug.
