Mrs. Jiang was waiting for these words and hurriedly replied with a smile, "Madam has been standing outside in a proper manner, waiting. Should the old servant call her in?"
"Hmph!" Mrs. Wang sneered, "Proper manner? Who knows if it's just an act for show and something different behind one's back! Forget it, call her in!"
Mrs. Jiang understood that Mrs. Wang was trying to apply what happened with Gu Fangzi to Sang Wan and dared not say more. Knowing what she had in mind, she simply complied and went to fetch Sang Wan.
Sang Wan was already prepared to be left hanging by her mother-in-law the entire day. Although she had been standing for a while, she did not feel impatient, and when Mrs. Jiang came out to call her, she thanked her calmly and did not show any signs of relief or liberation, earning Mrs. Jiang's great admiration. Such composure of the Mistress was truly beyond what ordinary people could achieve. If it were the Lady, she would have already lost her temper!
