Chapter 94: Chapter 47 The Anger of Second Uncle and Second Aunt_2

Second Master Sang is only interested in gold and silver.

"Aren’t return gifts supposed to be like this according to the rules? The Shi family’s money isn’t Miss Wan’s money, how could Miss Wan be the one to decide?" Mrs. Fang said indifferently.

Second Master Sang harrumphed noncommittally, but although the couple was doubtful, they could not search Sang Hong and Mrs. Fang’s bodies, so they had to let it go.

Mrs. Li glanced at Sang Xiaoquan and Sang Xiaonuan, thinking to herself about finding an opportunity to cleverly pry some information from these two naive children. Children’s words are always easier to extract. Humph, if she finds out, she’ll give them a taste of her mind!

"Now, you went to the Shi family, and we didn’t. By rights, all these things should be ours! However, we’re not unreasonable people, so this is what we’ll do: we’ll leave these four boxes of sticky rice dumplings for you and take the rest!" Mrs. Li said while helping herself—tucking the purse under her arm, holding the brocade under her arm, hugging the tea leaves tin with her elbow, carrying two chickens in one hand, and two fish in the other. She gestured to Second Master Sang with her chin, "Master, hurry up and carry that wine! Your eldest son doesn’t drink anyway, right?"

Sang Hong and Mrs. Fang looked at each other, Mrs. Fang with an unsuspecting face. Sang Hong quickly nudged her and nodded with a forced smile, "Uncle and Auntie, please feel free to take whatever you want, take them!"

"Well, that’s more like it!" Mrs. Li was satisfied and, together with Second Master Sang, carried the items back in two trips.

During the second trip, Mrs. Li glanced at those four boxes of sticky rice dumplings and said, "I wonder how the Shi family’s dumplings taste. I’ll take some to try!" As she spoke, she broke the seal and picked out eight dumplings, "Not taking too many, just two per person in our family."

Mrs. Fang simply sneered and said nothing.

Seeing that Mrs. Fang did not object, Mrs. Li regretted not taking more. After hesitating, she dared not reach out again and left with an awkward smile.

Sang Rou was secretly pleased to hear that her parents and sister did not make it to Qingzhou. A hidden smile played at the corners of her mouth as she watched her parents move the gifts into the main hall.

Seeing her eyes greedily darting about, Mrs. Li’s temper flared up. She pointed at Sang Rou and scolded, "Look, look! Your dad suffered on the road and his stomach is still upset, and here you are, not caring about anything at home. Instead of quickly boiling water for tea, what are you looking at! Raised you for nothing!"

Second Master Sang remembered his stomachache yesterday and that his younger daughter had chosen not to go to Qingzhou to see the world but to stay and take care of him. She was even willing to stay despite her mother scolding her to tears. Comparing this to his elder daughter, who only knew how to covet things, maybe even calculating something in her heart without showing any concern for her own father, his expression also turned cold as he glared at Sang Rou and barked, "Get moving! What are you standing there for!"

Sang Rou bit her lip and turned to leave.

"Oh my, look at that, she’s even getting angry now! She’s grown up and so has her temper, not a small one either! Give her another two years and she’ll dare to talk back and get physical!" Mrs. Li said with sarcastic mockery.

"Hmph! No matter how old she gets, she’s still my daughter! If she rebels, I’ll break her legs!" Second Master Sang’s face was stern.

Angry and trembling, Sang Rou hurried to the stove to start the fire. She put the blackened kettle on, filled it with a ladle of water, and spitefully spat into it before slamming the lid shut, muttering bitterly, "Drink it, hope it kills you!"

Fengju approached Fangzi and asked calmly, "Did you do what happened yesterday?"

"What happened?" The smile on Fangzi’s face instantly fell.

"Why were the Sang family’s uncle and auntie led to the servant’s side hall where they waited, and why was no one informed?"

Fangzi sneered, "Is my elder cousin here to reprimand me? If it weren’t for something to do with my elder sister-in-law, my elder cousin wouldn’t bother to see me, right?"

"Was it you?"

"No!" Fangzi said indignantly. "Who said it was me? Was it my elder sister-in-law? What has she been stirring up in front of my elder cousin this time? You need evidence to talk, if she dares, let her confront me face to face! What is it worth when you talk behind someone’s back!"

"Fang’er!" Fengju’s expression darkened slightly, looking at the fierce expression on the delicate face before him, he felt a moment of bewilderment: Is this the woman he deeply loved? Was this his childhood sweetheart cousin?

"I’m not a fool." Fengju said word by word. "Some things can still be certain without evidence. Besides, Miss Wan didn’t say anything to me."

Fangzi bit her lip and remained silent. Of course, she knew that in this mansion, there was nothing Fengju wanted to know that he couldn’t find out.

"So she didn’t say anything!" Fangzi scoffed mockingly. "So my elder cousin is taking initiative to stand up for her!"

"Are you saying it really was you? Fang’er, why?" Fengju sighed. "Have you thought about it, if this gets blown up, it will affect our Shi family’s reputation."

"My elder cousin is worried about the Shi family’s reputation? Not about defending my elder sister-in-law?" Fangzi’s eyes blazed.

Fengju’s gaze faltered slightly before saying after a moment of blankness, "You still haven’t told me why you did it!"

Consumed by jealousy, Fangzi hissed, "You haven’t answered me either, cousin. Why are you asking me this? Is it really just about the Shi family’s reputation? If it’s just for the reputation, you can rest assured because no one will dare to gossip on the outside!"

"You did it on purpose?"

"Yes!" Fangzi snorted coldly. "I did it on purpose! I just want you and auntie to see, I want everyone in the Shi Mansion to see, her family is not worthy of ours at all! Sang Wan isn’t worthy of you, elder cousin! She does not deserve to be your wife, your wife should be me!"

Instinctively, Fengju thought of Fangzi’s family background, her parents, and forced himself to stop that line of thought, speaking in a low voice, "In the end, you still don’t trust me, do you?"
