The second-in-command looked at her and nodded with a serious expression.
Li Jiaojiao was instantly speechless. She stomped her foot in anger, wiped away her tears, and ran away.
The second-in-command watched her retreating figure and sighed softly. He'd really spoiled Jiaojiao rotten over the years…
Meanwhile, at the Prime Minister's residence.
News of Bian Yanzhi's death broke after Long Jingchen had already passed away.
Sang Yun looked at Yang Mu'an standing beside her with guilt: "Mu'an... I'm so sorry."
Yang Mu'an reached out and took his hand, speaking softly, "Husband, what are you saying? Now that I've married you, your affairs are my affairs. You didn't want this to happen today, so don't worry, I'll be here for you no matter what."
"Mm." Sang Yun nodded and took Yang Mu'an's hand in return: "I'll make it up to you properly once I find my eldest sister and fourth sister."
"Alright, my husband, you can go in peace. We are all family, so there's no need for compensation. Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay!" Sang Yun reluctantly let go of Yang Mu'an's hand, and was stopped by a maid who rushed over as soon as she turned to leave.
The maidservant saw him and immediately knelt down with a "plop": "Young master, something terrible has happened, young master!"
Sang Yun's brows furrowed instantly. He, who was usually not prone to anger, was actually furious today. He looked at the maid and said sternly, "What's wrong! Speak if you have something to say, why are you in such a panic!"
The maid was taken aback by his harsh words, and large tears instantly began to fall. Her shoulders trembled slightly before she cautiously spoke, "Miss... she has passed away..."
Seeing Sang Yun's expression darken even more, he felt even more wronged. He had worked in this mansion for so many years, and this was the first time he had been scolded by Sang Yun.
Sang Yun's heart sank immediately.
He subconsciously turned around and glanced at Yang Mu'an behind him.
He never expected that Bian Yanzhi would pass away today. He only knew that Bian Yanzhi had been unwell recently, but he never imagined that she had become so weak.
Yang Mu'an had already inquired about the cousin's affairs before entering the room.
She was initially somewhat bothered by the matter, but when she saw Sang Yun's attitude, she felt indifferent. After all, Bian Yanzhi was also a pitiful person.
She took two steps forward and walked to Sang Yun's side, took his hand and said softly, "Husband, let me handle this. You go find my eldest sister and fourth sister. Don't worry, if all else fails, there's always Yan Yan. I'll go find Yan Yan in a bit."
Sang Yun glanced gratefully at Yang Mu'an, and finally nodded: "Alright, I'll leave the manor to you, my wife. Wait for me to return."
His way of saying "wife" was still a bit stiff. Even though he had secretly practiced it many times before, he was still a little embarrassed when he actually said it.
His ears turned bright red instantly. He gave Yang Mu'an one last deep look before nodding heavily and turning to walk outside.
Yang Mu'an watched her leave, pursed his lips, turned around, changed his clothes, and went out.
...
Sang Yan was already extremely busy, but her eyes lit up the moment she saw Yang Mu'an. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Yang Mu'an's hand: "Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
Yang Mu'an looked at her and said softly, "I'll help you. Let's go see Miss Biao first..."
