After a while, the steward finally caught his breath, wiped the sweat off his face, and said pitifully, "Young Master Zhao, this really has nothing to do with me, it was all the madam's instructions."
The steward weighed his options between his life and the madam, and rationally chose the former.
Lady Zhang, hearing this, became anxious and scolded the steward angrily, "Steward, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Madam, I can't bear the pain anymore. Just admit it. You didn't want Young Master Zhao staying at the Celestial Master's Mansion, that's why you instructed me to deceive him. Heavenly Master, this really has nothing to do with me." Having narrowly escaped death, the steward couldn't care less and confessed everything.
Lady Zhang's face suddenly turned deathly pale.
Celestial Master Zhang turned his head and asked her, "Madam, is this true?"
