Chapter 56 V2 : A Bolt From The Blue (1/2)
“So you felt it too!” Sang Wan raised the cushion under her neck with an arm and gently sighed. Well, it was so obvious that anyone could detect!
Liu Ya’s eyes glistened and she clapped with a smile, “This servant understands now! It must be because Young Mistress fought to not make the Shi family lose face today,Old Mistress becomes happy, and since Nanny Jiang did not treat you favorably, she had come to make it up to Young Mistress!”
Sang Wan giggled and scolded with a smile, “There I thought you following Nanny Li would make you grow up a little, but who knew you’re still a foolish worm!”

Under Nanny Li’s earnest tuning, Liu Ya had gained much enlightenment. Although those enlightenments would often continue to accompany her, she would have to speak of them with Nanny Li once in a while. Nanny Li would also praise her to show her appreciation. Her five senses, now heightened, was nowhere as close to Nanny Li in terms of perfection, but she was much better than before. Hearing what Sang Wan said, she was not entirely convinced and pouted, “Young Mistress, could you give this servant a reason why this servant is foolish?”
Sang Wan raised her chin a little to look at her in the eye before smiling, “Nanny Jiang is an old lady who serves my mother-in-law for her entire life and is one who is respected even by the young master. So long as she doesn’t do anything out of line, the Shi family will be generous towards her and care for her until death. If that is so, why would she need to make up to me?”
Liu Ya was startled and her mouth blurted, “That’s true. Her making up to you may also end up provoking Miss Gu! It makes no sense to for her to be so foolish as to stir up a storm—— ugh, Young Mistress, this servant has spoken too excessively…”
A trace of loneliness pierced Sang Wan’s heart, but she kept a smile and shook her head, “You’re right, it makes no sense for her to be this foolish…”

“Young Mistress,” Liu Ya, somewhat nervous, took the initiative and asked, “Why don’t, this servant help you inquire about it a little?”
“Absolutely not!” Sang Wan hurriedly rejected, “The matters regarding Old Mistress’s side is not something we can find out easily about. Don’t act rashly!”
Feeling a little awkward, Liu Ya quickly smiled, “This servant will certainly not do it personally for wouldn’t doing so cause trouble for Young Mistress? This servant can find it out through my godmother. Young Mistress, rest assured; in this household, there’s nothing my godmother cannot obtain information about! Moreover, this servant warrants that no one will find out!”
Liu Ya spoke very proudly without a trace of shame.
“That’s a no too!” Sang Wan spoke firmly, “Old Mistress is the young master’s mother. Do you think Nanny Li would dare to do such a thing? What’s more, I do not wish to trouble her! Don’t you worry, if there really is something, Nanny Jiang would say it herself! There’s no need for us to inquire!”
Liu Ya’s eyes widened in great disbelief as lots of question flooded into her mind, but Sang Wan just smiled and told her to sleep.
On the next few days, Wang Shi displayed an unparalleled favor towards Sang Wan. Good products arrived one after another in the small garden: clothes and jewelry, beauty products, antique ornaments, display jewelry, fresh fruits and snacks, trendy dishes, and so on.
The crowd could see that Young Mistress was being doted. It was clear that she had shown who the future incharge the household would be!
In Ning Garden, the members were busy adjusting to the improvements. Liu Ya, Zhide, and many others would occasionally be fawned over by their peers wherever they went. The number of Missies and Mistresses who came to extend their greetings to Ning Garden also increased.
Sang Wan treated all modestly which made all those present extremely happy, especially the Mistresses who found her interesting and would often praise her over the heaven!
Wang Shi often sent gifts and messages, and the one to pass them was Nanny Jiang. Sang Wan politely welcomed her in an attempt to wait out before Nanny Jiang began to speak her mind. But who would have known that as the days went by, Nanny Jiang’s smile became somewhat forced as the words continued to remain in her mouth.
Sang Wan pondered, and after racking her head, she seemed to have somehow understood.
Nanny Jiang would not speak, unless, she took the initiative to ask.
Of course, asking Nanny Jiang would be useless. The one she should be asking would be Wang Shi.
“It has been some time since Sang Wan came to greet Mother. Mother, your complexion has become better than before!” Today, Sang Wan dressed neatly before arriving at the main courtyard. With a pleasant laugh, she greeted Wang Shi with a smile.
“Isn’t that so!” Wang Shi grinned, “Mother is extremely happy. Having enough sleep and good food, it’s natural that my complexion will improve! But it’s such a pity,” Wang Shi pretended to give a sigh, “recently, I’m being bothered by something and I wish that it could be resolved as soon as possible. If that happens, then my heart can finally be at ease!”
Sang Wan had originally wondered how she could lure her mother-in-law to speak about the trouble, but who knew her mother-in-law would be itching to get on with the subject.
Seeing Nanny Jiang giving a signal with her eyes to the other servant girls to retreat, Sang Wan’s expression became even more imposing. She rose and spoke to Wang Shi, “Mother, why not speak with your daughter-in-law about what’s bothering you? Even if your daughter-in-law does not have the power to solve it, saying it out will surely make your heart feel better!”
When would Wang Shi ever pay any attention to Nanny Jiang’s expression? The moment she heard so, she quickly blurted out, “Sang Wan, it has something to do with you! To solve this, it all depends on you!”
“Me?” Sang Wan was baffled.
Wang Shi waved her hand and gestured to her to have a seat, before she smiled kindly and asked, “Sang Wan, touch your heart and tell me. How am I treating you?”
