Celestial Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, not quite believing that he had actually hit madam. Looking at his palm and then at madam, he was at a loss: "Madam... I... I... I didn't mean to, but, you didn't do right either. So much silver, how could you just give it to them?"
Five hundred thousand taels of silver! The more Celestial Master Zhang thought about it, the more painful it felt. A lifetime of savings, gone in an instant by madam.
"I did it to save Old Master, and yet you hit me. Ah wuwuwu...! I can't go on, how will we live like this?" Lady Zhang, having been hit, cried out miserably.
Celestial Master Zhang felt both guilty and distressed, watching madam cry so loudly, and for a moment he was helpless. His mind was swelling with thoughts, as if about to explode, when suddenly he shouted: "Stop crying! With such a big issue, and you're still crying."
Lady Zhang froze in fear for a moment, sobbing, "You... you're still yelling at me? Ah wuwu...!"
