Chapter 122: Chapter 61 I’ll be a maid at your mansion_2

"Sister Rou!" Sang Wan greeted with a polite smile.

Sang Rou seemed flustered with joy and quickly came forward to hold Sang Wan’s wrist, laughing, "Sister! It’s been so long!"

"Is it Aruo, what’s the matter?" Mrs. Fang rubbed her clothes and smiled as she asked.

"Hehe, it’s just that I saw Sister Wan’s carriage arrive, and thinking that it has been a long time since I last saw Sister Wan, I specially came over to chat!" Sang Rou laughed somewhat unnaturally.

Both Sang Wan and Mrs. Fang were a bit speechless; the carriage had intentionally stopped at a hidden spot because Sang Wan didn’t want the Shi family’s second uncle to see her. She had planned to leave after talking to her brother and sister-in-law, but who knew that Sang Rou would see her.

Then Mrs. Fang said with a laugh, "Wow, Aruo, your eyesight has become more and more impressive! How did you know that this carriage must be that of your Sister Wan!"

Sang Rou hurriedly laughed, "Isn’t it obvious? Such a grand carriage and horses, other than Sister Wan, which relatives or friends of our family could afford to ride in it? Only Sister Wan is so fortunate!"

"That’s true!" Mrs. Fang slapped her clothes, "Alright, then you two chat, I’m going to cook!"

Mrs. Fang gave a knowing look, and Sang Hong also went out. Originally, Sang Wan was planning to leave, but since Sang Rou had seen her, it would definitely be impossible to hide it from the second uncle and aunt, and it seemed she would have to sit for a visit later.

"Ah! Cousin brother, sister-in-law, you’re busy!" Sang Rou’s eyes lit up, and her face glowed.

Sang Wan and Sang Rou then exchanged awkward pleasantries. They had nothing to say before, and now even less so. In the eyes of the others, Sang Wan always had the potential to be abandoned by the Shi family at any moment. Those envious and jealous of her marriage never ceased to mock her with cold jeers, everyone’s eyes and hearts waiting to see her misfortune. Sang Rou was no exception. The looks she gave Sang Wan always made her quite uncomfortable.

Now looking at her stiff smile and her words that tried to please yet didn’t quite know how to express, Sang Wan felt even more like she was just putting on a brave face.

"Look at Sister’s current dignity and grandeur, tsk tsk, we can’t even dare to think about it! Sister is truly blessed!"

"Look at Sister talking, I’m embarrassed!" Sang Wan replied with a forced smile. Sang Rou repeated the same few words, yet not once did she ask how Sang Wan’s life in the Shi family was, whether her days were smooth. Her heart grew heavier with the sentiment: In this world, only her brother and sister-in-law truly considered her family!

Sang Rou laughed, her eyes filled with envy, seemingly unable to move her gaze away from Sang Wan. She sighed and said, "You’ve finally tasted the sweet after the bitter. With such a good place to call home, your life will be full of blessings from now on! Unlike me, I’m afraid I’ll suffer my whole life without an end! I don’t ask for much, just to be spared some beating and scolding, and to live a peaceful life would be contentment enough for me!"

With that, she blinked her moist eyes and wiped them with her hands.

Sang Wan could only force a smile and tried to comfort her, "Sister, don’t say such things. Second uncle and aunt will surely stand up for you!"

"They?" Sang Rou snorted through her nose, and scoffed, "You’re not going to laugh, are you? Do you not know what kind of people they are? My father will never leave the world of money, and his eyes see nothing but wealth. And my mother, heh, I’m afraid I’ll live longer if she doesn’t intervene! I’m just afraid that when my legs are straight and my eyes closed, my suffering will finally end!"

Saying this, she began to sob softly.

"How can that be! After all, you are the biological daughter of the second uncle, he must care for you! Even for the sake of the Sang family’s reputation, they can’t neglect you!" Sang Wan’s voice was dry; she forced a thin smile as she persuaded.

Sang Rou froze for a moment; suddenly, she felt as if the clouds had cleared. That’s right, why had she never thought of this before? She believed that as long as her father realized this point, he would consider it somewhat. Although he was greedy for wealth, he still wanted face in front of outsiders!

"Maybe," Sang Rou sniffed and said self-deprecatingly, "It’s just that I’m not sure if I can wait that long!"

"Sister, you are still young, what are you talking about!"

"Young?" The word struck a nerve in Sang Rou, and her tone became sharp, "Have you ever seen a nineteen-year-old girl who is yet to be spoken for?"

Sang Wan was taken aback, her eyes wide with confusion. Goodness, what had this to do with her, why was she taking her anger out on her!

"I’m sorry, Sister Wan!" Realizing she had lost her composure, Sang Rou quickly gripped her hand and laughed apologetically, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to; please, don’t be angry with me!"

Sang Wan shook her head, "How could I be mad at my cousin sister!"

"That’s good, I just knew you were always magnanimous," Sang Rou finally smiled relievedly, complimented Sang Wan a few more times, and then said, "By the way, I don’t know if the Shi family still needs maids. Dear sister, maybe you can talk to my father, let me go to the Shi family to be a maid! We’re sisters, and I can help you out!"

Sang Wan was left speechless, glancing up to see Sang Rou’s face full of eager anticipation; she then realized why Sang Rou was cozying up to her.

Just—

Could someone be this unreliable?

Sang Wan thought helplessly.

She was her cousin sister, their fathers were brothers from the same mother! To be a maid in the Shi family, what a thought!

"How could that be possible, you are my sister, how can you... go to the Shi family and be a maid!" Sang Wan hurriedly replied with a smile. Under Sang Rou’s almost predatory gaze, she inexplicably felt slightly overwhelmed.

"Not a maid, being a housekeeper or something is also okay!" Sang Rou’s eyes shone, "Don’t large families have women in charge of housekeeping? I, for one, would definitely support you in everything!"

Sang Wan was rendered even more speechless, managing only to laugh and say, "Currently, it is mother-in-law who is managing the household. Moreover, all the female housekeepers in the house are the Shi family’s own long-term servants, who have worked in the Shi family for over a decade and have risen step by step. Besides, even if they are housekeepers, they are still servants; how can I humiliate my own cousin sister like that! If it got out, it would be laughable!"
