Chapter 190: Chapter 96 Xingzhi Pleads for Mercy Shi Yumei’s voice was crisp with pride, her words interspersed with laughter, causing Xingzhi’s face to turn deathly pale, her body as cold as if she had fallen into an ice pit. Whatever Shi Yumei was saying, Xingzhi could no longer hear it clearly, only sensing a buzzing in her ears that overwhelmed everything else! The only thought in her mind was: The elder son-in-law wants to take her to "serve" him! The character of this elder son-in-law was no secret except perhaps to the grandmother; even the boldest maids would mock and jest about him behind his back. What future could there possibly be in marrying such a man? Even now, she was nothing more than someone living at the mercy of others! Jealousy? Her sisters would laugh rather than be jealous! "Oh, look how embarrassed you are! This is a joyous occasion, what’s there to feel embarrassed about! Come, I’ll go tell my sister-in-law right now. Get your things ready, pay respects to your old master, and then head to the banana garden!" As Shi Yumei spoke, she stood up and reached to pull Xingzhi. Xingzhi twisted away and refused to comply, forcing a smile, she said: "Grandmother, this, this is too sudden, may I have some time alone to calm down?" As she spoke, she knelt down, her voice trembling, "I beg for grandmother’s grace! Please, grandmother!" Shi Yumei was taken aback, thinking she was overjoyed and out of her senses. Considering they would need to get along in the future, wouldn’t it be better to be happy and harmonious? Thinking it over, she decided to grant her favor with pleasure, then nodded and said with a smile: "That’s also fine! Take some time to think it over! Once you think about it, you’ll understand what a great joy this is, I won’t harm you! I’ll come back tomorrow to talk to your grandma and take you over! Take the opportunity to prepare your things and say goodbye to your former sisters!" Shi Yumei then pulled out about two taels of broken silver and handed them to Xingzhi, generously smiling, "Take this silver, use it to host a good feast for your sisters! Keep the rest as your private savings!" "I dare not! Please take it back, Grandmother!" Xingzhi said, hastily retreating her hand, refusing to accept. Shi Yumei tried several times to force the silver into her hand but finally had to laugh and take it back, her affection for Xingzhi increasing, "Such a good girl!" Xingzhi said nothing as Shi Yumei left. Once she turned around, she could no longer control her tears. She blinked back tears, took a deep breath, and only then realized her palms were icy cold with damp. Unable to stop herself, she shivered, and seeing a young maid passing by to fetch things, she hurriedly composed herself and silently continued with her duties. Sang Wan returned from the council chamber, relieved to find Shi Yumei had already left, and casually asked with a smile, "When did grandmother leave?" After hearing Xingzhi’s clear response, she said no more. All afternoon, Xingzhi’s silence finally made Sang Wan aware of something, noticing her heavy heart. But since she did not speak, Sang Wan did not ask. Xingzhi was a person who valued her integrity; although she was much better to her than before and was dedicated in her work, she inherently possessed a ’mind-your-own-business’ attitude, never willing to involve herself in any trouble. She could not be compared to Liu Ya in terms of loyalty or even to Hong Ye. In the evening, Shi Fengju came back, and the couple chatted casually as usual before dining together. After dinner, Shi Fengju went to the study, and Sang Wan, having nothing else to do, commanded the lamps to be brightened in the warm pavilion and spent her time knitting. Suddenly looking up, she saw only Xingzhi standing by her side, Sang Wan couldn’t help but smile, "Why is it you? You all have been working hard all day, go rest. Just call a younger maid to stay here!" "I am not tired," Xingzhi forced a smile, poured a hot tea, and offered it to Sang Wan with an apologetic smile, "Madam, take care not to strain your eyes, have some tea and rest. The master often reminds us not to let madam work at night!" Sang Wan, smiling, took a few sips. Seeing Xingzhi’s hesitant and troubled expression, she sighed, gently placing down the tea cup, and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?" Xingzhi trembled, her tears unstoppable, she knelt in front of the bed and sobbed, "Madam, please save me! I have nowhere else to turn!" "What’s wrong! Get up and talk!" Sang Wan was startled, not expecting such a reaction from a casual remark. Xingzhi, sobbing, wiped her tears and managed to hold them back. She then kowtowed to Sang Wan, responded with a "Yes", tremblingly stood up, and recounted everything Shi Yumei had told her that day. She pleaded, "Please help me, madam, I only wish to serve you well. In a few years, I long for a favor to marry out. I never wish to climb high, never! Even if I remain unmarried for life, serving you for life, I am willing. Please save me,
