Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 157 - Dead Old Man
Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Dead Old Man Chapter 157 -157: Dead Old Man “I feel like you were not actually talking to me just now,” Old Money Mo contemplated shrewdly, thinking to himself, the Old Master has lived a lifetime and now in his old age, he refused to believe that even a fool’s intelligence could not be outdone.
“Is that so? Hehe…!” Big Bull, clumsy and not good with words, could only scratch his head and laugh foolishly.
“Big Bull, I know you’re a good kid, so for the sake of this old man, tell me the truth. Are there little ghosts on my back?”
“Little ghosts? No, there are a few children though.”
Looking at the few exquisitely carved children on Old Money Mo’s shoulders, some even wearing open-crotch pants, so adorable, not at all like little ghosts, Big Bull blurted out without thinking. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he had misspoken, quickly covering his mouth with his hands, and his eyes widened in alarm.
Old Money Mo, finally getting his answer, slumped onto the stool, mumbling to himself, “A few children, could it really be retribution?”
Big Bull looked at Old Money Mo, anxiously pacing in circles, and his speech became incoherent: “I… I… I didn’t say anything, you can’t go tell my wife that I said there are seven children on your shoulders!”
“Seven?”
Upon hearing this, Old Man Mo’s face turned ashen; he stood up shakily and walked toward the door, oblivious to anything Big Bull was saying.
Madam Xie was plucking chicken feathers at the doorway and looked up to see Old Money Mo wandering out of the main hall like a lost soul, staggering, nearly falling several times.
“Hey! Old Master Mo, be careful, don’t fall,” Madam Xie exclaimed in horror, reminding him loudly.
Outside the kitchen, there was a table where the servants who had come with Old Money Mo to bring gifts were sitting, drinking tea and eating sunflower seeds. Hearing Madam Xie’s voice, they turned their heads and gasped in shock. Their Old Master was walking tremulously; he normally had a severe hunchback, his head nearly drooping to his knees, and now, in his daze, he was on the verge of toppling over several times.

“Old Master, be careful,” the servants quickly put down their teacups and rushed over to support Old Money Mo.
“Old Master Mo, why don’t you eat dinner at our place tonight before you leave? I’m slaughtering a chicken right now.” Feeling somewhat embarrassed for having received such generous gifts for no good reason, Madam Xie warmly insisted.
But Old Money Mo, as if deaf, continued his vacant, dazed walk outside.
“Ahahaha…!”
Out of nowhere, a ghostly laugh erupted behind Old Money Mo, filling the entire old residence with its sound.
Of course, aside from Xuexue and Big Bull, no one could hear it. They just felt a sudden wind gust through the old residence.
Xuexue, hearing the noise, rushed out of the kitchen immediately.
“Ahahaha! Today is the happiest day for my Little Honey Peach; this dead old man will soon meet his end. Luckily, a noble helped us, so we could scare him to death alive and settle our sisterly grudge,” the little girl on Old Money Mo’s back laughed maniacally. The other little ghosts also cried and laughed, creating a spectacle so magnificent, Xuexue’s skin crawled with goosebumps.
What’s called a ghost weeping and a wolf howling, this was the true nature of such howling.
“Xuexue, look, Old Master Mo brought so many gifts but left without having a meal,” said Madam Xie, who couldn’t hear the cries of the ghosts, still composed.
Xuexue, listening to the continual ghostly laughter, was feeling terrified.
“Xuexue, what are you doing? Your mother is talking to you.” Seeing Xuexue unresponsive, Madam Xie turned and asked.
“Oh!”
Xuexue came to her senses: “Old Master Mo is leaving! I’ll go see him off.” Saying that, she walked toward the doorway.
