Chapter 82 My Substitute Sister's Husband Says He Loves Me
Upon arriving at the Sang residence, Sang Ling and her mother, Madam Li, rushed into the house and asked the steward about Sang Huan's whereabouts.
Upon learning that the person was already in the backyard, Sang Ling did not hesitate at all and pulled her mother to rush towards the courtyard where Sang Huan was.
It was rare for Mrs. Li to see her daughter so rude. She scolded her for being impolite, but in her heart she was already thinking about how to use this opportunity to teach Sang Ling some lessons.
Sang Huan was not favored, and her birth mother was the woman Li hated the most, so her treatment was not much better.
His residence was in the most remote corner of the Sang family estate, overgrown with weeds and looking desolate.
As the youngest and most favored daughter in the household, Sang Ling's food, clothing, and daily necessities were all carefully selected by her mother, Madam Li.
She and her older sister Sang Huan got in touch because of the substitute marriage. The two had never spoken before, and even at the year-end family banquet, one was at the main table while the other was nowhere to be found.
Arriving at Sang Huan's residence, Sang Ling was surprised to see such a dilapidated place in her home. A look of disgust flashed across her eyes.
But she had important things to do and didn't care about that, so she rushed into Sang Huan's yard to call for help.
Sang Huan had just finished lunch and was not surprised to hear Sang Ling's call. She walked into the courtyard and bowed gently to the two of them.
"I have met Mother and Seventh Sister."
"Didn't you go to get that token? Where's it? Hand it over right now!"
Sang Ling was too lazy to argue with her about these things and went straight to the point about asking for her things.
Sang Huan ignored Sang Ling, finished her own greeting, and then looked up at Li Shi behind her, her voice gentle.
"Mother, I was just an infant when my aunt passed away, and I didn't know what the keepsake looked like. So I gathered all the things my aunt left behind together and asked you to take a look."
As she spoke, she instructed Tao Hong to hand the sandalwood box she had brought back to the maid beside the other party.
Upon hearing this, Li had a bad feeling.
But Sang Ling, who was beside her, didn't care about any of that and hurriedly told the maid to open the box and present it to her.
"What kind of nonsense is this!"
But after seeing what was inside, Sang Ling, who had seemed so eager just moments before, was instantly dumbfounded.
"Sang Huan, you're trying to fool us with this junk? Do you really think my mother and I are fools?"
Li stepped forward and could see clearly what was lying in the box.
Inside the box lay only children's odds and ends, such as a tiger-skin hat and a rattle drum; there was nothing of the token that resembled a keepsake.
In an instant, Li's face darkened, and her eyes turned dangerous as she looked at Sang Huan.
Clearly, she agreed with Sang Ling's words, thinking that Sang Huan was deliberately teasing them.
When Sang Huan met her extremely imposing gaze, her eyes appeared even more innocent, and her tone was extremely troubled.
"Mother, Seventh Sister, it wasn't that I was deliberately teasing you. I was just too young to remember anything back then. Even if Auntie had told me, I wouldn't have known. I got all these things from my wet nurse."
"You! Mother!"
Seeing Sang Huan's innocent look, Sang Ling felt a surge of anger rising within her, so she turned to Li Shi for help.
Li's face was also quite gloomy at this moment, but what Sang Huan said was not without reason.
When Ning Yue passed away, Sang Huan was just a newborn child. Even if Ning Yue wanted to leave something to her, she would have to entrust it to someone else for safekeeping first, and then give it to Sang Huan after she could remember things.
Perhaps, that thing isn't on Sang Huan?
Li's eyes flickered, and she revealed her usual hypocritical smile.
"Huanhuan, your mother is only thinking of you. Do you really not know where that thing went?"
If she really can't get any information out of Sang Huan, then there's no need for her to stay any longer.
Otherwise, if the young master were to see her face, which bears some resemblance to Ning Yue, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness crept into her smile.
"What does Mother mean by this? If I really knew, why would I hide it from you? But..."
Having been around for a thousand years, how could Sang Huan not guess what this woman was thinking?
As Li squinted at her, she smiled sweetly, her words carrying a deeper meaning.
"My aunt was worried that I wouldn't have a good life in the future, so she left me some private property, which I put in Yong'an Money Exchange. If Mother can tell me what the token looks like, I will go and check tomorrow to see if there is anything similar. If Mother is worried, you can send someone to follow me."
Yong'an Money Exchange was an enterprise under the control of the imperial family in Beijing. Its stores covered the whole country, and its managers were all directly dispatched from Beijing.
Its strict rules have caused many wealthy businessmen who wanted to befriend it to leave disappointed.
The Sang family was one of those rejected.
Li's face darkened further. If what Sang Huan said was true, then she couldn't rush to take action against Sang Huan.
Money shops have a rule that any private property they leave behind must be collected by a person designated by them.
If Sang Huan hadn't been there, she could have found a way to have Sang Ling impersonate her, but now...
Li only learned today that Ning Yue had actually left behind such a contingency plan.
She gritted her teeth, her smile vanished, and her eyes turned cold and ruthless, as if they were poisoned.
"In that case, after I find out about the token, Old Wang, you will personally escort Miss Liu to take a close look and see if it's in the bank!"
Old Wang was the same driver from before. Upon hearing this, he quickly bowed and nodded.
Li was in a terrible mood. She hadn't expected that the bitch would still try to sabotage her even after she was dead. Looking at Sang Huan in front of her made her even more upset. Not wanting to waste any more words on her, she snorted and turned away.
Seeing this, Sang Ling stomped her feet in resentment, but she had no choice but to follow her mother and leave the yard.
"Issue the order: from this day forward, without my permission, the Sixth Miss is not to step out of her room!"
Outside the courtyard, Li coldly gave orders to the guards on duty.
Prince Jing'an will be visiting tomorrow, and she absolutely cannot let Sang Huan run into him, otherwise, with Sang Huan's face, she'll definitely cause trouble.
As for why they didn't just send the person away directly?
Ning Yue, that woman, was able to leave Sang Huan with private assets behind her back. Who knows if the other party has other plans in store!
It's better to keep people under your watchful eye than to leave them outside in fear.
The entire Sang family mansion is her territory. As long as nothing goes wrong, Sang Huan can't cause any trouble!
"promise!"
The guards all knelt down to receive the order, and only then did Madam Li snort coldly and leave.
Only Tao Hong and Sang Huan remained in the courtyard.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Tao Hong felt a little flustered.
Just when things seemed to be looking up after meeting with the prince that morning, he was now under house arrest and couldn't even leave the courtyard.
Unable to think of a good solution, Tao Hong could only look at Sang Huan beside her with worry.
"Miss, what should we do? Madam has even blocked the dog hole; we're completely stuck."
Sang Huan's lips twitched; she found it somewhat amusing.
"Don't worry, it's only temporary. Madam still wants us to go to the money exchange, right? What's there to be afraid of?"
"But......"
Tao Hong isn't stupid. If she really found the item and handed it over to Li Shi, given Li Shi's ruthless nature...
"No buts. Alright, it's getting late. Xiao Tao, don't think too much about it. Didn't you say you wanted to read a storybook? You can take this opportunity to relax."
Sang Huan interrupted her before she could finish speaking and changed the subject with a smile.
Tao Hong was about to cry. What kind of time is this to still be reading storybooks? Miss is so silly!
Sang Huan, looking rather silly, glanced sideways, her clear and beautiful eyes fixed on the several lush banyan trees outside the courtyard.
A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, causing them to sway slightly.
The corners of her lips curved slightly.
Want a token? Of course she'll give it to him. However, whether the young master of the Sang family, who dreams of climbing up to him, will accept it when he sees the token is another matter entirely.
