Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2057: Revenge

Lady Zhang hesitantly looked at Celestial Master Zhang and asked, "Old Master, should you see the doctor first before having breakfast?"

Celestial Master Zhang was both hungry and thirsty, feeling as if he were about to starve to death. With a gloomy expression, he said, "If the doctor has arrived, so be it. Let him wait. After all, who’s the Celestial Master here, him or me?"

The steward immediately scolded the maid, "You blind thing, didn’t you see that the Celestial Master has just returned and is hungry? Take the doctor to wait in the side hall!"

The maid bowed her head and responded, "Yes, maid takes leave."

Lady Zhang patted Celestial Master Zhang’s back gently and said warmly, "Old Master, don’t be angry. Since you’re hungry, go ahead and have your meal."

............

Celestial Master Zhang sat by the dining table, with a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right, gnawing voraciously, not even bothering to wipe the oil flowing from his mouth as he continued eating relentlessly.

Having suffered in the mountains over the past two days, working as a servant and shedding blood and sweat, he finally returned home and had to replenish his lost energy no matter what.

Originally, the steward had prepared a variety of breakfast options, including various pastries, bird’s nest, and porridge.

However, Celestial Master Zhang, who usually preferred light dishes, insisted on having a feast with meats, leaving the steward with no choice but to personally go out and purchase all sorts of meat dishes.

Celestial Master Zhang’s eating manner was quite unseemly, causing Lady Zhang to furrow her brows as she couldn’t help but say, "Old Master, eat slowly. No one is going to take it from you."

"I... I’m hungry," Celestial Master Zhang mumbled while eating.

Lady Zhang felt heartbroken and said, "What have you gone through these past two days to be this hungry?"

Celestial Master Zhang had no time to talk to her, his head bowed, continuing to eat vigorously.

Suddenly, Lady Zhang remembered she had given Lin Kong a package of food to deliver to the Old Master previously, so she asked, "By the way, Old Master, didn’t Young Master Zhao give you the food I sent?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Celestial Master Zhang’s cheeks were stuffed so full that he couldn’t speak; he simply shook his head to indicate he hadn’t.

Lady Zhang was dissatisfied, saying, "Old Master, I knew that Young Master Zhao wasn’t a good person. You are too naive, talking about loyalty, yet in times of crisis, he didn’t even share a bite with you."

Towards the end, she muttered to herself, "That was food I specifically prepared for the Old Master. What right does he have not to give it to you? No, I’ll have to ask him later. He’s freeloading in our mansion, yet he has no conscience at all!"

Hearing this, Celestial Master Zhang managed to swallow the food in his mouth and said, "Madam, do not be disrespectful to the Master."

"How is it disrespectful? I asked him to give you something, and he didn’t. I’m just trying to find out; isn’t that perfectly normal?"

"No need to ask, it wasn’t anything valuable. Besides, in the mountains, I never even crossed paths with the Master. How could he give it to me?"

"Then how did you two return together?"

Celestial Master Zhang then recounted the encounter at the city gate, detail by detail.

Upon hearing this, Lady Zhang became very angry, "These guards are too much. The Old Master returned to the city gate last night, and they actually stopped you."

"Exactly, if I hadn’t run into the Master, I’d still be stuck outside the city gate!"

"This is outrageous. No, Old Master, you must severely punish these people."

"I have already sent people to deal with it, madam, don’t be angry anymore." Having spent the night outside, Celestial Master Zhang was indignant, and it would be odd not to send people to seek revenge after returning home!
