The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Compared to Shangguan Yunshu's patience, Shangguan Sitong is much more noisy.

There was a red mark on her arm, and her personal maid Ruhong was applying medicine gently.

"It hurts so much. Please be gentler, those people are so unreasonable. They just start fighting without any reason." Shangguan Sitong's tears fell.

Doted on by her parents and protected by her elder sister, she had never suffered any hardship since she was a child, let alone being beaten.

A little maid came in and reported, "Second Miss, the eldest lady sent a message, asking you to come back after you have applied the medicine."

Shangguan Sitong wiped her tears and said aggrievedly: "I know. Are you done? If you are done, change your clothes."

"Yes." Ruhong put away the medicine and took out clothes.

In a house not far away.

Yun Ping took off her clothes, and the maid helped her apply the medicine. She bit her lip to endure the pain, sweating profusely.

The little maidservant couldn't bear it: "How could you get hurt like this just by going out?"

Yun Ping didn't want to say more: "Help me apply the medicine quickly. After I change my clothes, I have to go to the eldest lady's courtyard to report."

"You are so badly injured..." the little maid tried to persuade her.

Shaking his head, Yun Ping clenched his fists: "The master is also injured. She has to go and answer, let alone me."

The little maid quickly applied medicine and found some clothes.

When helping others to get dressed, she didn't dare touch them at all, for fear of hurting them.

Late courtyard.

Shangguan Haitong was deep in thought facing the chessboard. There was no one opposite her, so she played chess with herself.

Shangguan Sitong and Shangguan Yunshu came in, stood there admitting their mistakes and waiting for punishment.

Four personal maids were waiting outside the door. The two who were not injured were worried about the two who were injured.

Shangguan Haitong picked up the white chess piece and made her move. Her silence made the people below dare not breathe a word.

Huan Shuang looked at the two girls' faces and reminded them, "Girls, the second and third girls are here."

"Yeah." Shangguan Haitong responded softly and still ignored him.

The wound was medicated and felt cool and comfortable at first, but after a while it started to hurt like a fire.

The two maids were sweating profusely. Shangguan Yunshu's lips turned pale and she felt like she would collapse at any moment.

Shangguan Sitong looked at her elder sister with a wronged look on her face. If she needs to be punished, punish her now. Why are you just keeping quiet?

At this time, the little maid came to report: "Miss, Wei Cheng is here."

"Let him in." Shangguan Haitong glanced at her two sisters and said, "Stand aside and don't block the road."

Shangguan Yunshu bowed and walked aside.

With an unhappy look on his face, Shangguan Sitong followed.

A moment.

Wei Cheng brought his two brothers into the room and bowed to greet them: "Miss, they are my brothers Weng Deqiang and Zhan Xun."

Shangguan Haitong put down the chess piece and looked at the two people whom he had met several times in his previous life.

General Wei's right-hand man, a fierce and brave deputy general and a resourceful military advisor.

She smiled and said, "I know you are living in poverty. Now there is an opportunity in front of you. Be prepared to have enough food and clothes."

Weng Deqiang looked around as he entered the mansion and was shocked by the carved beams and painted buildings of Shangguan Mansion.

He raised his hand carelessly: "Girl, just tell me what you want. We promise to do it through thick and thin."

Zhan Xun was quite helpless: "Miss, please give us your orders, we will do our best."

"Yes, try my best." Weng Deqiang smiled naively.

Tea with phantom frost.

Shangguan Haitong took it and scraped the tea foam with the cup lid: "It's not a difficult matter. I have a shop under my control, and something happened just now. I don't care if the business is bad, but my people were beaten. I hope you can make the shop successful."

Weng Deqiang was delighted: "That's great. We are good at doing business."

As soon as Zhan Xun arrived, he noticed the maids standing at the door. Both of them seemed to be injured.

Now there are two girls in the hall, and judging by their attire, they don't look like servants. The key point is that they should also be injured.

Just doing business? Probably not that simple.

He asked tentatively, "When it comes to stealing business, different methods are needed to deal with different people. Do you think it's better to be gentle or not? We brothers have no experience, please give us some advice."

Shangguan Haitong took a sip of tea and said, "Our shop is competing with that shop right across the street. What do you think?"

Understood.

Zhan Xun thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "Something happened in the shop, and we need money to buy new things."

Shangguan Haitong winked.

Huan Shuang brought the silver and said, "If the matter is done, you will get some benefits."

When the red cloth was opened, the silver ingots were particularly dazzling.

Weng Deqiang's eyes lit up, and he wanted to reach out but didn't dare.

Wei Cheng took over: "Thank you, young lady. We will definitely get things done properly."

"Are they all for us? So many? We can buy a lot of rice with them." Weng Deqiang was overjoyed.

Shangguan Haitong looked at the two sisters and said, "Leave the messes you made to them. If you want to learn something, just watch carefully. There is still time, and I hope you can complete the remaining tasks. Huanshuang, give the shopkeeper and the waiter some money to comfort them. Give Yunping and Taoyao some silver for protecting their master."

"Yes." Huanshuang bowed and ordered the maid to bring some silver and hand it to Yunping and Taoyao.

The two maids knelt down and thanked them.

Huan Shuang helped them up: "Take good care of your injuries and go down to rest."

The two men looked at their master.

Shangguan Yunshu nodded. Shangguan Sitong did not respond.

Huan Shuang nodded lightly and said soothingly, "Go ahead."

Feixiang and Ruhong also asked them to go and rest: "We are here, don't worry."

The two maids stood up, bowed and retreated.

Shangguan Sitong was not convinced. Why couldn't they, as the masters, leave?

Quickly grabbing the second sister, Shangguan Yunshu shook his head and whispered: "Eldest sister has her reasons for doing this."

"What kind of nonsense is this?" Shangguan Sitong muttered, but continued to stand there obediently.

Shangguan Haitong gently raised her hand: "You all go down. Third sister stay."

Everyone stand down.

Shangguan Sitong was delighted and left without hesitation.

Huanshuang went to make tea.

Shangguan Haitong put down the teacup: "Third sister, please sit down. Do you know why I kept you here?"

Sitting down with a bow, Shangguan Yunshu bit her lip and said, "Please give me some advice, elder sister."

Shangguan Haitong smiled softly and continued to pick up the chess pieces and place them: "You were dragged down by your second sister and suffered an unexpected disaster. You must feel very wronged, or regret not stopping your second sister at that time. There is no need, you can't stop her."

Shangguan Yunshu lowered her eyes and said nothing. The more she thought about it, the more sad she felt.

"I know my second sister's temper. It would be strange if she didn't cause any trouble. Third sister, don't you understand after this incident? You can't let my second sister get her way in everything. She has been spoiled by her mother. She acts willfully and recklessly without considering the consequences." Shangguan Haitong's eyes darkened as she remembered something.

Shangguan Yunshu raised his head: "Sister, the second sister is simple-minded, she just doesn't think so much."

Holding the chess piece tightly in his hand, Shangguan Haitong's eyes were filled with undercurrents.

She suddenly smiled: "Third sister, I know what kind of person she is better than you. Remember this lesson, and don't let her do what she wants in the future. Today you are just beaten, but next time you might lose your life. And she won't care, she will just shirk responsibility."
