C5 What Should She Do
Passing a small garden, Meilan saw someone sneaking around at the foot of the wall. She thought it was one of the servants whose hands and feet were dirty. She strode forward and shouted, "Where did you work?" "What are you doing?"
The man's body stiffened and he did not turn around. Meilan was already in a bad mood, but now she was even more infuriated. She took a few steps forward and said frighteningly, "Let me go report to Madam! I'll break your dog legs!"
When that person turned around, Meilan's expression changed.
"It's you again, return the money to me!"
Why are you staring at me like that? This is the Sang Mansion, what a bold thief.
It's almost time for breakfast. Not long later, you will be able to run past the arch into the kitchen. If you have too many people, you will still dare to act arrogantly!
Without a word, Melly backed away and turned to run. The thief behind her grabbed her by the arm, his face red with anger. He glared at her and said, "Take out the money, or I'll kill you!"
The vicious look in her opponent's eyes made her tongue tremble, "You, you, this is not the outside world. If you dare to kill someone in the Sang Mansion, you will lose your life!"
The thief shook his head violently, as if to keep himself awake, and said, "Come on, give me the money!"
"I don't have any money. You stole it the last time. Do you think I'm a miss?" "If you are so strong, why don't you just ask those bad guys for it? All you know is how to bully us poor maidservants."
"You lied to me. Look at the clothes you're wearing. They don't look like poor little maidservants." "Hand over the money, or I won't be polite!" The thief gasped and was about to search her body.
"No money, save —" Before he could cry out, the thief had covered his mouth, and Melly was struggling as if she were being held back by a barrel.
"No, I'll search myself!" After saying that, he actually drilled into Meilan's clothes.
Meilan's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe that she had been assaulted by a thief in the Sang Mansion …
Sang Jinyou spent the entire day thinking about Sang Jingrong and Zhou Chen. In her previous life, she wasn't too sure about their relationship, but after Zhou Chen left, she did not eat or drink for three days before returning to her normal state.
She thought back to the time at the Duke's Mansion, when the Third young mistress had taken care of her. At that time, she had been so gentle and elegant, not even the least bit cold.
"Meilan, come with me to Third Sister's room!"
When he turned around and saw that Meilan's expression was empty, he walked up to her and patted her. "Are you not feeling well?"
"Do you have any instructions, Miss?"
"To Third Sister's room!"
"Yes sir!"
When they arrived at Sang Jingrong's courtyard, she was staring at the zither in a daze. Sang Jinyou walked over and sat down, not daring to open her mouth. Sang Jingrong turned to her and asked, "Fourth Sister, why are you here?"
"There are some things I'd like to say to Sister Four. Can you..." Ye Zichen looked at the maidservants beside Sang Jingrong.
Sang Jingrong signaled her head maidservant, Zi Lan, to pick up her guqin and looked at the maidservants around her. "All of you may leave!"
When everyone had dispersed, Sang Jinyou held a handkerchief in her hand and said cautiously, "Third Sis, you and Zhou Chen …"
"I'm only here to ask for a favor from Chief Steward Zhou. You saw it." Seeing Fourth Sister in such a predicament, could it be that she also wanted to ask for help from Steward Zhou? "
Sang Jinyou was stunned. "Just a favor?"
Sang Jingrong stood up with a smile and asked, "What else would happen?"
"Then it's all right, Third Sister. I won't bother you any longer, so I'll take my leave." Sang Jinyou didn't know what to do. If her third sister didn't admit it, she had no proof. If she was wrong, it would be a great sin to ruin Sang Jingrong's reputation.
On the way back to his room, he met his second uncle and eldest brother. Sang Jinyou respectfully greeted him, "Second Uncle, eldest brother!"
Second Uncle held a cage of birds in his hands and smiled. "Ah Man, did you just come back from your third sister's place?"
"Well, talk to Third Sister about home." "Big brother, don't you want to go to the justice courts today?"
"No need," Sang Jinhuan said flatly when he saw her take the initiative to greet him. "Today is your day off, so a few days ago I went out to look for some rare things. I had someone bring you some in the afternoon."
"Thank you, big brother!"
"You're welcome."
Looking at the backs of her second uncle and her eldest brother, a wave of warmth passed through her heart. In the end, they didn't blame her for her mischievous looks. Even though her elder brother was cold-hearted, he treated his sister-in-law very well.
Sang Jinyou wanted to change her family, but the first thing she did was to change her brother's mischievous personality. As soon as she reached the front yard, she heard some people arguing.
The old master who angrily rushed in with his servant was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Sang Jincheng and shouted, "Rascal! Rascal!" Is there a law under the Son of Heaven? How did your Sang family discipline your son? Do you want to rob a commoner? "My daughter is engaged. Is your son trying to force my daughter to death?"
Sang Jinyou quickly went forward to support Cai, while Sang Jincheng stood at the side with a look of disdain. Sang Zhen's face was gloomy.
"Mother, what's going on?"
Sang's frown deepened when he saw that his daughter had arrived. "Meilan, escort the young lady back to her room!"
Sang Jinyou pushed away Meilan's hand, insisting on going up and asking, "Father, what happened?"
"Miss Sang family, we're all girls, why don't you come over and judge!" My daughter has already been engaged to be married. Sang Jincheng came by day after day, not only did he injure my future son-in-law, but he also forced my Wang family to break the engagement. "If your brother did such a thing, what else could he be but a bandit?"
Sang Zhen stepped forward to stand in front of Sang Jinyou and snapped, "Apart from you, Lady Wang, I will give you an explanation. What are you going to do by telling all this to my daughter?"
"Both of them are waiting to marry. If you feel sorry for your daughter, what about my daughter?" "Her husband's family was severely injured, and they all said that she was an aquamarine flower. Could it be that my poor daughter would have to hang a foot of white silk in front of your mansion's gates to get rid of this disaster?"
Sang Zhen coughed in anger at the Wang family's harsh words and said, "You!" Cough cough … "Unfilial son, kneel down!"
"Dad, I'll take care of this matter!" Sang Jincheng was about to step forward to take care of the Wang family when Sang Zhen rushed forward and kicked his son in the leg. Sang Jincheng was forced to kneel on the ground and looked at him unhappily. "Father!"
Sang Zhen looked at the Wang family and said in a low voice, "I, Sang Jincheng, will give you an explanation for what happened to you. See you out!"
The Wang family left resentfully. If it wasn't for the Sang family's Shuxiang School, then Sang must be a famous teacher. How would a small clan dare to cause trouble here?
"Dad, they're just spouting nonsense!"
"Impudence! If you didn't do it, how could they have gotten here?" You bastard, you actually dared to steal a commoner's daughter and beat and injure her. You've lost all your face. "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. We'll deal with you when we get back tonight!"
Sang Jincheng had been kneeling in the ancestral hall. She accompanied her mother, who had been angered to the point of collapse, until just before dinner, when she was free to bring food to her brother.
"I didn't love you for nothing. Come on, I'm starving!" Sang Jincheng reached out his hand to take the bowl of rice, but he was evaded by Sang Jinyou.
"Good sister!"
"Big brother, you're already 20 years old. At your age, big brother has already started working for the justice courts. Calm down your temper." "Mother can't stand it any longer!"
Sang Jincheng waved his hands impatiently. "You don't have to care about these things. If the Wang Family doesn't appreciate my kindness, see how I deal with them!"
Sang Jinyou was so angry that she was tearing up. "Sang Jincheng, what else do you want?" Can you really steal someone else's fiancee? "Do you also wish someone would come and ruin my marriage one day?"
"Since you don't understand, you should just put down the food and teach me a lesson. You can go back now." "She looks the same as her mother, and every time she sees something, she gets annoyed!"
"Sang Jincheng, you bastard!" The bowl and chopsticks in her hand fell in front of him, while Sang Jinyou ran out of the ancestral hall in disappointment.
"When Sang Jincheng saw how sad his sister was crying, he felt sorry for her and yet dared not leave the ancestral hall."
In the end, Sang Jin-cheng and Sang Jin-huan stepped in and apologized for losing money. Sang Jin-cheng, on the other hand, remained at home for a few days and began to be restless again.
This time, Sang Jinyou decided to follow him and not let him ruin their wedding.
"Sister, why aren't you happy?" I pushed all my friends to fly a kite with my dearest sister. "
Sang Jinyou was sitting on the lawn, watching as Soo Zhu and Meilan tried their best to fly their kite into the air. She glanced at Sang Jincheng, who was trying to please her brother, and couldn't figure out how to make him change his mind.
"Smile!" "Why is it that she's been acting like a little old lady lately, with a frown on her face?"
Sang Jinyou looked at him plaintively.
Sang Jincheng put his arm around his sister's shoulders and smiled. "Alright, I won't ruin their wedding. At this time, even if I fly over, I won't be able to keep up."
"Bro, they all say you're a dandy, aren't you angry?" Sang Jinyou's face creased.
Sang Jincheng smiled indifferently. "Who dares to talk nonsense in front of you again?" What, you're unhappy about this? "Come on, I'll teach you how to fly a kite. Big brother will be with my precious sister all day today, okay?" "
Sang Jincheng pulled her up and walked over to Mei Lan and Xiu Zhu. "You two little girls are really stupid. Watch out for me!"
As soon as the kite was released into the air, someone called out to Sang Jincheng, "Hey, Sang Jincheng, you actually have time to spare …" "Oh, no wonder you don't mind the Wang family getting married, this is a different story …"
"Watch your mouth, this is my sister!" "Didn't you go away with your father? Why are you here?"
Su Ziwen was a friend that Sang Jincheng had grown up with. He was Jinling's playboy, and the two of them each took a spot.
Su Ziwen pointed at the distant courtyard house, "There are nobles over there, come here!"
Sang Jincheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not convenient, we're all men. My sister hasn't married yet!"
"Where's the inconvenience? He Wenhao of the Prime Minister's house, along with his two younger sisters, has asked your sister to stay with the two ladies. Wang Xin got a new treasure. Don't you want to see it?"
Upon hearing "Baby", Sang Jincheng was moved. "Really?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"Fine, wait for me. I'll go get my sister." Sang Jincheng quickly walked over to Sang Jinyou and helped her pick up the kite's curve. "Sister, it's hot over here. How about we take a seat in the pavilion over there?"
