The cook was already ashen with fright. When she heard the jumble of footsteps approaching, she practically crawled out the door on all fours. Her legs weak, she leaned against Shen Tang's, and only then did her wildly pounding heart settle somewhat. The servants helping in the kitchen had also cowered in every corner. Only two burly laborers dared to stand in front of the water vat. When they saw Shen Tang and the others, they looked as if they'd seen their saviors.

I-I'm not some Borrow-Eye Gong who's become a spirit. This is a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding! I have important business to attend to. I beg the master of this house to show me some kindness and let me have a set of clothes to cover myself. I'll never forget this great kindness! Please, please—"

If he could come up with a plausible explanation, the household shouldn't give him a hard time. He didn't want any more complications,
