Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me

Madam Jian's voice had barely sounded when the other cooks all rushed to plead for mercy on their behalf, and the two kneeling on the ground begged for forgiveness over and over again. The young maid, barely of age, was so scared that she almost burst into tears.

Sang Wan, seeing that the pleading was sufficient, let out a helpless sigh and said, "Sister-in-law Jian is right, Mrs. Wang's dinner is of utmost importance, now is not the time for this!" Her gaze lingered on the fallen wax gourd bowl on the ground, sighing with regret, coupled with deep helplessness and reluctance.

Madam Jian and the main culprits felt even more ashamed and guilty upon hearing this. Madam Jian clenched her teeth and bravely said, "Young Mistress, these two slaves have been so careless, causing such a commotion on such a good day. As for their punishment, please give your instructions, old servant will carry them out without fail!"

Madam Jian inwardly cursed her bad luck and, after much thought, decided to let Sang Wan decide for herself, which would also make Sang Wan feel better and spare herself from any grievances.

"Oh? Anything at all, and you'll carry it out without fail?" Sang Wan asked, raising an eyebrow slightly, looking at Madam Jian with a half-smile.

Madam Jian's heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling a bit uneasy. With the words already out, she couldn't back down and reluctantly nodded, "Yes, old servant will obey without fail!"

Sang Wan smiled faintly, curving her lips upwards, and said to the two trembling people kneeling on the ground, "You can get up now! It's clear you are honest, and it was just a minor accident, I won't punish you!"

The two of them were momentarily stunned, looking at each other in disbelief, thinking they had heard wrong.

Madam Jian and everyone else heaved a great sigh of relief, smiles appearing on their faces. "What are you still standing there for, get up quickly? Are you waiting for the Young Mistress to help you up?" Madam Jian scolded with a smile and then turned to Sang Wan with a flattering smile, "Thank you for your grace, Young Mistress! You are truly benevolent!"
