Chapter 191 - 96 Xingzhi Pleads for Mercy_2
Sang Wan couldn’t help but feel indignant after hearing the situation. This elder sister had gone too far by not taking her into account! It was one thing to make demands of her, but to set her sights on her personal maid and not even inform her was crossing the line!
Sang Wan felt a chill run down her spine. Thankfully, Xingzhi was a sensible girl who didn’t aspire for wealth, otherwise, she would have joyfully followed Shi Yumei by now, leaving Sang Wan completely in the dark, which would have been utterly embarrassing!
However, standing up for Xingzhi didn’t seem to be an easy task. After all, it was Shi Yumei making the request, her own legitimate elder sister-in-law, and a favored one at that.
"Madam, madam! This slave begs you!" Seeing Sang Wan’s hesitation and difficulty, Xingzhi could not help but feel utterly cold and desperate, with tears begging, "This slave swears, I am willing to serve madam for my whole life, never to marry! Please, please save this slave! From now on, this slave’s life will belong to madam!"
"Don’t say that!" Sang Wan couldn’t help but sigh, her face showing pity. She herself had suffered terribly in her past life, and she did not know what fate would await her in this life. She could empathize most with such situations and said helplessly, "Why, oh why did elder sister-in-law set her eyes on you! You are smart, you know how difficult it will be to settle this nicely without my telling you!
"This slave knows," Xingzhi choked out, "This slave knows this is a huge problem for madam, but I have no one else to turn to except you! Please, have mercy on this slave!"
Even if the elder sister-in-law has no business, she would still mock and provoke madam, if madam can’t even spare a maid for her, who knows what kind of fuss she might make? Unfortunately, the lady of the house would definitely side with her own daughter. And the young master shows a lot of affection for this elder sister, too.
The more Xingzhi thought about it, the more she felt there was no chance of escaping her bad luck, her expression becoming ashen, her heart like dead ashes. Could it really be that death was the only way out?
She was not willing to give up! She had dreams of being granted a favor to leave and marry a good man, to live a harmonious life! She wished that her children could stand out among others and never have to serve as slaves! This was not just her hope but also the hope of her parents. Should it all be ruined today?
