Chapter 268 - 135: Quarrel
Just as the maid was pouring the tea, Sang Wan personally held out the cup and offered, "This is Young Master’s favorite pre-rain Longjing tea, please have some, Young Master!"
"Enough!" Shi Fengju’s inner irritation suddenly surged, and in a fit of anger he waved his hand, but inadvertently knocked over the tea cup, spilling scalding tea onto Sang Wan’s hand. Sang Wan let out a cry too late to let go, and in an instant, her left hand and slender, spring bamboo shoot-like fingers turned bright red.
"Madam!" The maids exclaimed in shock and hurried forward to support her.
Shi Fengju was also stunned, feeling a pang in his heart at the sight of Sang Wan’s red hand and her trembling delicate form. He quickly stood up, holding her hand and said, "Does it hurt? Why are you still standing there? Quickly get the ointment, what are you waiting for!"
Xingzhi quickly agreed and rushed to the inner chamber to get it. Mrs. Li hurriedly instructed someone to fetch cold water and a towel, and Liu Ya supported Sang Wan, her heart aching for her, inevitably giving Shi Fengju a covert glare.
"Miss Wan, I—" Shi Fengju wanted to apologize, but the words "I’m sorry" reached his lips and he couldn’t say them. He gently held her hand, "Does it hurt a lot? It’s all my fault!"
"It’s alright! It will be better once it’s treated with medicine," Sang Wan gently pushed his hand away, and forced a smile, "It was Miss Wan’s own carelessness, it has nothing to do with the Young Master! Hong Ye, serve another bowl of tea for the Young Master. You sit first, Young Master; I’ll go apply some medicine." Saying this, she went with Liu Ya into the warm pavilion, and Xingzhi, who had gotten the ointment, and the little maids with cold water, all went in as well.
Shi Fengju’s gaze grew cold and tense, his heart filled with both pain and anger! The tears were turning in his eyes, his face going white without any sign of temper, still the same demeanor! What exactly is she trying to do!
