Lady Zhang had been busy for several shichen, emptying all the treasures in the mansion, leaving her physically and emotionally exhausted. Just as Zi Xia and the others left, she collapsed onto the stool, her face as white as a sheet. Well, this time, the Old Master was saved, but the Celestial Master's Mansion had become paupers.
"Madam, are you alright?" the maid asked with concern.
"Today, I pawned all of the Old Master's precious antiques and managed to raise five hundred thousand taels of silver. When the Old Master returns later, I won't know how to explain it to him." Today, all the pawned antiques were the Old Master's favorites, especially those bestowed by The Emperor, which Celestial Master Zhang locked away like treasures. Every time he took them out for a look, he had to bathe, change clothes, and burn incense. Now, to save his life, they were all pawned. If the Old Master finds out, who knows how furious he will become!
