Chapter 62 V2 : Let Me Become a Servan (2/2)
Fang Shi then laughed, “Ai, Ah Rou’s eyes are becoming more and more incredible! How did you know that carriage is Sister Sang Wan’s!”
Sang Rou quickly smiled and said, “That’s simple, a carriage of that style, which of our family and friends are able to ride on one other than our Sister Sang Wan! Only Sister Sang Wan has such a blessing!”
“That’s true!” Fang Shi patted her clothes, ‘Then, you all can go ahead and chat, I’ll go do the dishes!”
Fang Shi gave a wink and Sang Hong left too. Sang Wan’s original intention was to leave, but since she was discovered by Sang Rou, her visit would definitely be discovered by Second Uncle Sang and Second Aunt Sang. There was no escaping from having to pay them a visit later on.
“Ai! Cousin, Cousin-in-law, you all can carry along with your things!” Sang Rou’s eyes glistened and her face brightened up.
Sang Wan and Sang Rou then began to make an effort to talk about the weather. In the past, there wasn’t much those two could talk about, and now, it was even more so. In the eyes of the public from before, there was a possibility that Sang Wan would be abandoned by the Shi family at any moment. There were many who envied and hated her for having such an arranged marriage, and they yearned to witness the day she plummets. Sang Rou was no exception. Those eyes that looked at Sang Wan always brought her with discomfort.
At this moment, when she looked at Sang Rou whose face wore a stiff smile as she wished to say something to please her yet do not know how, Sang Wan felt even more so that she would have to brace herself for what was to come.

“My sister has now turned so decent and stylish, zeze, it really is something unexpected! Sister Sang Wan, you truly are blessed!”
“Now that Sister Sang Rou has said it, I feel somewhat embarrassed!” Sang Wan forced a smile awkwardly. All Sang Rou talked about were those words, but there was never once she asked how she was doing in the Shi family, and whether her life was to her liking or not. She could not help but lament deep in the heart: In this world, only her brothers and sister-in-law treats her dear!
Sang Rou smiled before letting out a sigh, but those envious eyes never stopped staring at Sang Wan to a point that Sang Wan couldn’t shake it off. “Still, you must have suffered too on your own. But like what others say, first comes bitter than comes sweet. Now you live a life under the light of blissfulness! Unlike me, I’m afraid my head must always be lowered for a lifetime! I don’t wish for much, but all I ask for were just fewer scoldings and beatings, and have a peaceful life!”
As she spoke, her eyes watered and she quickly used both her hands to wipe the tears off.
Sang Wan could only force a smile to comfort her, “Sister Sang Rou, don’t say that, Second Uncle and Second Aunt will surely make a path for you!”
“Them?” Sang Rou snorted and sneered, “You might laugh, but I’m sure you’re aware of how they are. Money that my father gets his hands on will never see light again, what else can he see other than money? As for my mother, keke, I just hope that I’m still alive when she makes a path for me! I fear that by the time my eyes are closed and my feet can no longer feel the ground will my sin then be finally cleared!”
As she spoke lowly, she sobbed.
“How can that be! You are, after all, their daughter. They’ll definitely care about you! Even if it were for the Sang family’s image, they’ll definitely care about you!” Sang Wan’s mouth felt dry, but she did her best to smile and coax her.
Sang Rou’s body suddenly stiffened, as if she had finally seen light at the end of the tunnel. That’s right, how did she never thought of it before? She was sure that if she were to bring this up to her father, he would at least care for her a little. Even though he may be scrooge, his reputation was almost as important!
“Perhaps,” Sang Rou gasped for breath and snorted, “But I’m just not sure if I can wait until then!”
“Sister Sang Rou is still young, what are you saying!”
“Young?” That word must have hit Sang Rou’s sore spot and her tone became bitter, “Have you seen a missy who isn’t matchmade yet at the age of nineteen?”
Sang Wan was stunned. She was at her wit’s end as she looked wide-eyed at her. What a person, that had nothing to do with her, so why vent it all on her!
“I’m so sorry Sister Sang Wan!” Sang Rou sensed that she had lost her own composure and quickly clasped Sang Wan’s hand, “I’m so sorry, so sorry! I didn’t mean to, you, don’t blame me, please!”
Sang Wan shook her head, “How can I blame my cousin!”
“Then that’s good. I knew you had always been one who had a big heart,” Sang Rou then smiled without worry before giving Sang Wan a few more compliments. She added on, “Ah yes, I don’t know if the Shi family lacks any servants. My good sister, why don’t you try talking to my father and have me become a servant of the Shi family! We’re sisters, I’m sure I can be of help to you!”
Sang Wan became speechless. She glanced at Sang Rou and saw a face full of expectations. Only then did she realize why Sang Rou tried to get closer to her.
Just that——
Isn’t this illogical!
Powerless, Sang Wan thought to herself.
They were cousins, and their fathers were born from the same mother to become close brothers! To go to the Shi family and become a servant, what a stunt!
“How can I do that, you’re my sister, how can I make you a servant of the Shi family!” Sang Wan quickly laughed. Under Sang Rou’s glare, like a tiger eyeing greedily at its prey, she found it somewhat difficult to cope with where the conversation was heading.
“Then I won’t become a lowly servant, but be one of those in the management or anything else!” Sang Rou’s eyes glistened even brighter than before, “Doesn’t a huge household like the Shi family have a household department of some sort? I, will surely side with you on everything!”
Sang Wan became even more speechless than before and could only smile, “At this moment, my mother-in-law is the one in-charge of the household. Moreover, the management servants are those born in the Shi household and worked in the house for many years to climb up to their position. Besides, a management servant is still a servant, how can I turn my own cousin into an insult! If others were to know, they’ll surely mock at it!”
