Chapter 136: Argument 1 (1/2)

At that moment, a maidservant served the tea. Sang Wan personally took the cup and served it to Shi Fengju, “Lord, this is your favorite Longjing tea picked before Grain Rain. Please have it!”

“Enough!” All the anger in Shi Fengju came up at once and he waved his hand furiously, unintentionally toppling the cup. Sang Wan did not let go of the cup in time and the boiling hot tea scalded her hand. She cried out in pain as the back of her left hand, as well as her delicate fingers, turned red in that moment.

“Young Mistress!” All the maidservants exclaimed and hurried forward to hold her.

Shi Fengju was also taken aback. Looking at the scald on Sang Wan’s hand and her trembling figure, his heart ached. He hurriedly went over to her and held her hand, “Is it painful! Hurry up and bring the ointment, what are you still standing there for!”

Zhide was quick to react and she went into the chamber to bring the ointment. Nanny Li ordered the servants to fetch cold water and a towel while Liu Ya held onto Sang Wan in distress. She could not help but give Shi Fengju a silent glare.

“Sang Wan, I——” Shi Fengju wanted to apologize, the words would not leave his mouth. He gently held her hand, “Is it very painful? This is all my fault!”

“I’m fine! Just applying some ointment on it will do,” Sang Wan gently pulled her hand away and forced a smile, “Sang Wan wasn’t careful, it isn’t your fault! Hong Ye, pour another cup of tea for Lord. Lord, please have a seat first, I’ll go and apply the ointment.” After she finished, she went into another room with Liu Ya. Zhide took the ointment and followed a few of the maidservants as they went into the room with Sang Wan.

Shi Fengju closed his eyes; his face was stiff and he was feeling both apologetic and furious at the same time! It must have been so painful that her eyes became red and her face turned pale, but she still remained lukewarm! Just what is she trying to accomplish!

“Master, please have some tea…” Sensing danger, Hong Ye held the tray and served the tea timidly.

Shi Fenju stood up abruptly and coldly ordered, “Get out!”

Hong Ye received a shock and stepped aside frantically. She did not dare to let out a sound, same for the rest of the servants.

Shi Fengju pulled away the curtains forcefully and went into the room. Nanny Li was instructing Liu Ya to use a wet towel to wipe Sang Wan’s hand. The ointment had yet to be applied and was placed on a table.

“All of you, get out now!” Shi Fengju said coldly.

Everyone was momentarily stunned as they looked between Shi Fengju and Sang Wan, not knowing what to do.

“Young Master——”

“Nanny,” Nanny Li was cut off by Shi Fengju just when she was about to speak, “All of you, leave now!”

“But the ointment has not been applied to Young Mistress’ hand yet! The servants will leave once this old servant has applied the ointment,” Nanny Li smiled and said.

“I said, leave!” Shi Fengju showed no signs of giving in.

“All of you, please go out first! It isn’t painful anymore, please leave now!” Sang Wan smiled and said.

The crowd did not have a choice but to leave all at once.

What is this couple quarrelling about again! Nanny Li could not hold herself back from glancing at Sang Wan worriedly. Once she had left the chamber, she chased all the younger maid servants away from the chamber. Only Liu Ya, Zhide, and herself stood outside the chamber. If something were to happen inside, they could rush in in time to intervene.

Shi Fengju sat down in front of Sang Wan with a cold expression on his face as he pulled her injured hand towards him. There were blisters on her thin fingers and some of her skin at the back of her hand had peeled off. Her hands were delicate, and the pink skin of her injured hand made her look even more pitiful.

Sang Wan struggled to no avail and she lowered her head as he held onto her hand.

“Is it painful?” Shi Fengju asked gently.

How can it not be? If it isn’t, why don’t you try it yourself! She could still feel the prickling pain that came and went, how could it not be painful?

From the way he treated her in front of Ning Garden’s servants, it wasn’t just her hand that was hurt! The Mistress had become a joke this time!

All the indignance in her heart suddenly gushed up. Instantly, her eyes were covered with tears but she kept her head down without speaking.

Shi Fengju sighed softly, “I really didn’t mean it. You too, why weren’t you quick to dodge?” Shi Fengju scooped a small amount of smooth white ointment with his fingers and gently applied it at the back of her hand. Using his finger, he caressed it, “I will do it carefully. Tell me if it is too painful.”
