Rebirth of an abandoned woman

Chapter 47: An Inside Information

Whether there was or not, Shi Fengju was somewhat well aware. But he did not think that Sang Hong would put such matter at rest, which he could not help but develop respect towards him. Raising a wide bowl he praised, "It's good that there isn't! It's good that there isn't! There're always good and bad mixed among the servants so there may inevitably be some who'll act unruly! But Big Brother is open-minded which is very admirable! I offer this toast to Big Brother, please!"

"I do not deserve your praise!" Sang Hong raised his bowl and touched his with Shi Fengju's before gulping the wine down. "Actually, so long as Sang Wan's living fine, then everything else does not matter! I know that brother-in-law is a reliable person so I'll not say much! But Sang Wan is very complaisant and will keep many things in her heart. I hope not to trouble brother-in-law, but please take good care of her!" Sang Hong exclaimed.

"Hehe, I will, I will!" Shi Fengju subconsciously dodged the gaze that was aimed at him and quickly covered it with a laugh.

At the area that was partitioned temporarily, Sang Quan and Sang Nuan were truly hungry. Combined with the unfamiliar environment they were in, they ate quietly and well-behaved. Fang Shi went over to take a look at them and her mind was at ease.

Sang Wan helped her sister-in-law as they sat down to have tea and converse.

"Sister-in-law, did something happen? Why were you and Big Brother so late?" At this side, like Shi Fengju, Sang Wan also asked.

Fang Shi's face immediately revealed a little of the anger that was contained inside her. But recalling Sang Hong's words, she shook her head and laughed, "Nothing! What could have happened? There was just some delay on the way, that's all!"

"Nothing really?" Her expression did not escape Sang Wan's eyes and Sang Wan sighed, "Sister-in-law, are you treating me like an outsider that even I cannot know?"

Fang Shi was taken aback temporarily. After much thought, she bluntly spoke, "It's not that I don't want to say, but I'll just tell you the truth. Your brother was afraid that you might get angry so he forbade me to say! But I think that telling you will serve as a reminder and take more notice in the future!" Fang Shi then spoke of what had happened from the beginning when they entered the household and added, "If not for running into Zhan Huan, your brother and I would have already left Qingzhou!"

Fang Shi's face turned slightly pale and she thought silently to herself. If they were to have just left, Sang Wan's face would definitely be thrown!

"Sang Wan, you won't be angry at your sister-in-law, right? Sister-in-law didn't do it on purpose. It was all just too ——just too humiliating!" Fang Shi was feeling extremely aggrieved. Either they were the ones to feel it, or their younger sister would. In short, there would definitely be one party to be humiliated! This itself made her choke with anger.

Liu Ya, whose ears had stretched all the way to their conversation, cried out, "Ma'am, no need to make second guesses. It's definitely Miss Gu who's behind all this! She's the one managing the household, who else other than her will have the power to instruct those below to do such unjust acts!"

Sang Wan did not stop sipping her tea as she watched Fang Shi's face turn icy cold. Filled with uncertainty, Fang Shi asked, "Miss Gu? Who's this Miss Gu? Why is she not getting along well with you? And why? Is the household managed by her?"

Sang Wan only had to laugh, "This Miss Gu is my mother-in-law's younger sister's daughter. She has always been by my mother-in-law's side since young and the household management, for quite some time, has always been managed by her. Maybe, maybe she felt that me entering this household is a treat to her so she isn't quite friendly towards me. But this truly was too undisciplined of her!" Turning to Liu Ya, she scolded, "You lass, why spout such nonsense unnecessarily? Without basis, how can you say that!"
