When Sang Jiang looked up again, she had a relieved expression on her face.
She walked up to Sang Rui and took her hand: "I'm relieved to hear what you've said, Third Sister. Now, Third Sister, go and find Mother to deal with them."
Sang Rui: !!!
She was just giving Sang Jiang a perfunctory reply, but she didn't expect her to take advantage of the situation.
Sang Jiang seemed to see through her thoughts. She lowered her eyes and sighed, "Third Sister wouldn't be lying to me, would she?"
Sang Rui: "How could that be? I'll go right now."
After saying that, she tightened her grip on the handkerchief: "Eighth Prince, this humble woman will take her leave now."
Sang Jiang followed suit and said, "This humble woman will also take her leave."
Sang Rui walked ahead, her almond-shaped eyes filled with a fierce light, determined to settle scores with Sang Jiang later.
Sang Jiang took two steps and then suddenly stopped. She turned around and looked at Long Jinghao.
When Sang Hongfu saw her turn around again, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Sang Jiang looked at Long Jingyu and her phoenix eyes trembled slightly before she spoke hesitantly, "This humble woman forgot to thank the Eighth Prince just now. I wonder if the Eighth Prince has time to come to this humble woman's place for a cup of tea."
Sang Rui was completely stunned when she heard this.
Going to Sang Jiang's place for tea? How could that be? What good tea could she possibly have? Besides, it's just Sang Jiang's place...
Sang Rui's pupils contracted; it seemed that Zhang's mother had been directly killed.
It's true what they say, she was useless, she was bullied like that by Sang Jiang.
Sang Rui forced a smile and turned to look at Sang Jiang: "Fourth Sister, you're an unmarried girl, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Aren't we going to find Mother Zhang to get justice for you?"
Sang Jiang blinked, as if she had just realized something. "Third Sister, you're right, but I'm all dirty, so I shouldn't go to Mother's. Could you please tell Mother that Aya and Zhang Mama didn't do anything too serious? Tell her not to punish them too harshly, just give them thirty or forty lashes each."
Sang Rui was so angry when she heard her words that she almost fainted. She had just refused to mention Aya, but she didn't expect her to bring it up again and give her thirty or forty lashes. If she kept beating her like that, she would be crippled even if she didn't die.
Seeing that Long Jingyu and Sang Hongfu remained silent, clearly agreeing with Sang Jiang's wishes, Sang Rui could only grit her teeth and say, "I'll go tell my mother right away."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Seeing that she had left, Sang Jiang followed her out.
Kou'er followed behind Sang Jiang, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "Miss, won't the Madam cause us trouble if you do this?"
Sang Jiang wiped her face, removing all her tears, before looking at Kou'er and saying, "Wouldn't she stop bothering me if I didn't do this?"
Kou'er remained silent. What Miss said was true. Even if they didn't do it this way, they would still cause trouble. It was better to listen to Miss.
Since Miss woke up this time, she has rarely been bullied. She likes Miss like this now.
...
After Sang Jiang returned to the courtyard to wash and tidy up, a woman who looked to be in her fifties came to her courtyard and told her that Zhang Mama and Aya had each been given twenty lashes, and Zhang Mama had been dismissed from her position as head of the kitchen.
Sang Jiang nodded without saying anything.
She had seen this mother in the front yard earlier; she must be one of Sang Hongfu's people.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the mother continued, "The master also said that Miss's current courtyard is a bit too remote, so he asked us to prepare another courtyard for her. Miss can move there after tidying up."
Sang Jiang nodded: "Go back and tell Father that I appreciate his kindness, but there's no need to change this courtyard. I'm used to living here, so just have someone fix it up."
The mother didn't press her when she heard what she said. She just told her that she would pass on the message to the master and then left.
Sang Jiang glanced at the wall in the courtyard and curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were deep in thought.
