Chapter 270 - 136: Quarrel (Part 2)
"Madam! Madam!" Mrs. Li was at her wit’s end with Sang Wan clinging to her, unable to push her away on seeing her deep affection, heart softening, she gently hugged Sang Wan and patted her back: "Madam, don’t cry, please don’t cry! What exactly happened? Take your time to tell me, stop crying, ah!"
While patting Sang Wan and comforting her, Mrs. Li signaled Liu Ya and others with her eyes to leave. Liu Ya’s face also looked terrible, believing that the young master had bullied her Master, she couldn’t help but feel resentful and stood there in a daze. Xingzhi pulled her out, "Let’s go fetch water!"
Mrs. Li through her glance praised them, signaling to come in slowly, as she was busy comforting Sang Wan.
After a while, Sang Wan gradually stopped crying, the shame and annoyance on her face also slowly faded. She let go of Mrs. Li, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and forced a smile: "It was my loss of composure, you must be amused, Mrs. Li!"
"Madam..." Mrs. Li didn’t know what to say, helped her rearrange her hair bun, pulled her wrinkled clothes, and advised gently: "You and the young master are husband and wife, if there’s something just talk it over, why get so agitated! You’re only upsetting yourself by getting like this. Madam, you’ve always been very gentle, what happened today is—"
Recalling the incident that just happened, Sang Wan didn’t even want to mention it, reluctantly said: "It was my fault for saying a few wrong words that angered the young master, I realize it now! Don’t worry, it won’t happen again next time!"
A sudden searing pain in her hand made Sang Wan gasp softly.
Mrs. Li naturally heard that she wasn’t telling the whole truth, and found it inconvenient to probe further. On seeing her hand, she was startled, "My heavens, how did this happen!" She quickly took some ointment and carefully applied it anew.
"Quickly fetch the water to come in and serve!" Mrs. Li called out loudly, and on hearing this, Xingzhi and Liu Ya then lifted the curtain and came inside.
Seeing that things were well handled here with the two of them, Mrs. Li quietly left, sternly instructing the maids: "If half a word about today’s events leaks out from this room, don’t blame this old woman for turning ruthless when I find out! Mind your own tongues! Don’t speak of what you shouldn’t, and forget what you don’t need to remember!"
The young maids shuddered, duly bowing their heads in agreement.
