What truly frightened her was Second Madam Shi; had Shi Lian and her maid not appeared suddenly, Second Madam Shi would have certainly let her take the blame! The three maids and nannies present at the time were all her people, silencing them would have been effortless! Shi Lian's appearance made her uncertain whether Shi Lian had seen anything, which was why she was let off the hook!
Sang Wan simply dared not imagine how Mrs. Wang would view the matter if she were blamed for "pushing" her sister-in-law into the pond, and what kind of fuss Gu Fangzi would make of it! After all, there was no grudge or interest-related conflict between her and Second Grandma Shi; she had absolutely no excuse for an explanation. The only thing she could say was "accidental, careless," but such an explanation lacked solid proof and left everything to the listener's imagination.
