Sang Wan was extremely angry deep down. Just yesterday, she had come knocking at the door, wrongfully accusing her, and swore that if it was her mistake, she would apologize to her. Today, when they met, instead of showing guilt and avoiding her, she was so arrogant. Did she really take Sang Wan for an easy target like a soft persimmon?
"Big sister!" Sang Wan turned around and called out loudly to Shi Yumei.
Shi Yumei stopped and turned back, giving Sang Wan a cold stare. With a hooked lip and raised eyebrow she said, "Are you calling me? Is there something you need?"
"Yes. There’s something I want to discuss with big sister!" Sang Wan nodded and smiled, signaling with her eyes for the maids to step back, and walked towards a small path, "Could big sister come over here, please?"
"Just say whatever you want to say, what’s with all this mysterious murmur?" Shi Yumei said, but she walked towards her.
With the cover of a clump of camellias taller than a person, people could only dimly see their figures and clothing.
"What really happened yesterday? It seems big sister still owes me an apology, right?" Sang Wan gazed directly at Shi Yumei, her expression indescribably cool.
Shi Yumei had never imagined Sang Wan having such a side, and was so surprised that she widened her eyes and sharply exclaimed, "What did you say!"
"Why are you shouting so loudly, feeling guilty? I am asking you, when will you apologize to me!" Sang Wan replied with a light smile.
"You, you!" Shi Yumei trembled with rage, her face alternating between pale and flush, and she spat on the ground: "You deserve it!"
Sang Wan’s eyes full of sarcasm, she coldly laughed, "The words were your own, not forced by me. If it had been my fault yesterday, would you have let it go so easily? Moreover, as the Madame of the Shi family, how do I not deserve it, Mrs. Ren!"
Shi Yumei’s face turned pale. She stared at Sang Wan in disbelief, her nostrils flaring tensely as she breathed heavily, too angry to speak.
This last remark from Sang Wan was like stabbing a knife into her heart. She was clearly telling her that, in this residence, she was the lady of the house, while she, belonged to another family!
"Enough! I can’t be bothered to argue with you!" Sang Wan raised her eyebrows mockingly: "After all, you’ve had it tough, I can understand! But just this once, next time, don’t blame me for not being nice!"
"You, what are you!" Shi Yumei gasped and said hatefully: "You, a down-and-out country girl, how dare you flaunt yourself in our Shi family! You actually dare to lecture me, you dare to talk to me ! You country shrew! I will make Fengju divorce you! He will definitely divorce you!"
Sang Wan also became angry, coldly laughed: "Yes, I am a down-and-out country girl, so what? Even then, I am the Madame Shi whom your family welcomed with great ceremony, Mrs. Ren, it doesn’t seem like a married-out woman should be dictating things in the Shi family, does it? If you can talk to me this way, why can’t I respond in kind? You want Fengju to divorce me, then go tell him, what use is there in telling me!"
The shock and anger in Shi Yumei’s heart surged like a tsunami, simply indescribable! Only an angry voice repeatedly shouted inside her: This shrew! This shrew!
"Don’t think just because your second brother became a Xie Yuan that you’re something special! I—hmph, the Shi family does not need a related Xie Yuan to show off! Fengju and my cousin Fangzi were childhood sweethearts, they had tender affection, hmph, divorcing you and marrying her is exactly what Fengju wants!"
The angrier Sang Wan felt inside, the calmer her expression was, mocking: "So what if I feel incredible because my second brother became a Xie Yuan? I am proud of him! If your family is capable, try achieving the same, sneering doesn’t count as a skill! Hmph, that Gu Fangzi is just a concubine, even if Fengju divorces me, he wouldn’t possibly marry her as his wife, you can go ask him if you don’t believe it! Besides, that’s then and this is now, how could Fengju fancy someone despicable like Gu Fangzi, only someone like you could get along with her! If you don’t believe it, just go and talk in front of Fengju!"
"You shut up!" Shi Yumei pointed at her, trembling with her voice, "You actually dare to call me despicable, Sang Wan, you wretch!"
Shi Yumei’s raised hand about to strike was firmly caught by Sang Wan, "Big sister, stop making a scene! If I wasn’t letting you, what could you do to me?"
"You!" Shi Yumei angrily shook off her hand and sneered, "Alright, alright, old lady was mistaken! A country wild girl is indeed a country wild girl, utterly without upbringing! I don’t believe Fengju will still want you once he sees your true colors!"
"Take a mirror and look at yourself before speaking about others!" Sang Wan disdainfully sneered, then added: "If you think he’ll believe your words, go ahead and tell him! In the future, stop provoking me, it’s best if we don’t encroach on each other’s territory, otherwise, you really can’t blame me!"
