Chapter 47 V2 : An Inside Information (2/2)
Fang Shi suddenly sighed and shook her head before speaking with a grim face, “I still think, that Miss Gu or whatever, you’d better deal with her quickly! Ai like you said, she’s just a relative, so how could she not be clear about her position! Is this a household even for her to manage?”
Sang Wan secretly rubbed her forehead. Her sister-in-law, as always, was as persistent as ever! To make her divert her attention was as difficult as ascending the heavens!
“I will. Sister Fang, don’t worry about it!” Sang Wan’s face suddenly turned red and she quickly lowered her head, “My mother-in-law said to let my cousin-in-law manage the household a little longer for the time being to let me, uh, expand the Shi family tree…”
Fang Shi was stunned for a moment but clapped and smiled, “Not bad, not bad! I was also thinking the same! The Shi family’s Old Mistress truly is thoughtful. That being said, Sang Wan, you’ve got to work harder. Everything else does not matter; once you’ve a son of your own, everything will start to fall in place!”
“En!” Sang Wan’s face blushed like a fully cooked shrimp.
On the other side, Shi Fengju and Sang Hong were already done with the formalities between guest and host. As such, Sang Wan and Fang Shi went in to join them for tea.
Fang Shi glanced outside at the sky before signalling Sang Hong with a wink.
Sang Hong could only laugh, “Well, I’m not sure, but may I know when we can meet with our in-law?”
Shi Fengju cited with a laugh, “No need to hurry. Big Brother, Sister-in-law, have some rest here first! It must have been very tiring since the journey to here is long.”
“If possible, we would like to pay our visit to our in-law soon! The day isn’t young anymore and we have to hurry home later on!” Fang Shi quickly added.
Shi Fengju’s eyes met with Sang Wan and he smiled, “There’s no need for the hurry, right? Big Brother, Sister-in-law, why don’t you stay for the night and leave tomorrow? I’m afraid if you leave today, the sky would have turned dark before you reach home!”
“Yes, Sister-in-law, stay a little longer to chat with me more!” Sang Wan begged.
Fang Shi’s impression of the Shi family was not all that great. Even though she was not willing to stay, and Sang Hong was reluctant to add trouble to his younger sister, but after Shi Fengju and Sang Wan’s repeated persuasion, they could only agree reluctantly in the end.
After sitting idly for a while, Shi Fengju then invited Sang Hong to his study room to resume their conversation they had before. Sang Wan then stayed to converse more intimately with Fang Shi but ordered Liu Ya to play with Sang Quan and Sang Nuan first, and the other maidservants to ready the guest room.
Once Sang Wan learned that Wang Shi had woken up, Sang Wan then called for a servant to inform the men in the study room. Shi Fengju then guided Sang Hong, Fang Shi, his nephew, and his niece to pay Wang Shi a visit.
Nanny Li, through Nanny Jiang, had already explained the necessary details to Wang Shi. Revealing only the details that the Sang family were delayed on the road. Wang Shi was not all that understanding, but she did not blame them and asked with a few words of concern. Upon seeing Sang Hong, who was gentle and calm, Fang Shi, who was decisive, and the two children, who although timid were also cute at the same time, Wang Shi was secretly satisfied and nodded. A literary family, no doubt different from ordinary people!
Seeing how Wang Shi was so hospitable and kind towards them, other than the occasional display of splendor and the display of wealth just from her clothes, she was no different from an ordinary old woman. As such, they were at ease and felt that Sang Wan would not be mistreated.

The next day after breakfast, the couple went home along with their children. Shi Fengju had intended to send them off with the Shi family’s carriage, but Sang Hong refused insistently saying bluntly that it would cause too much trouble and that it would be easier for them to hire a carriage on their own. Shi Fengju had no choice but to give up and instructed Zhan Huan to hire a carriage in their stead before seeing them off personally.
“The Shi family isn’t all too bad actually, although wealthy, they aren’t overly conceited!” In the carriage, Fang Shi grinned and said.
Sang Hong then laughed, “In what way? Didn’t I say that yesterday was just a misunderstanding? Luckily, I held you back or you would have made a scene that could cause Sang Wan her future!”
Fang Shi was a little embarrassed after hearing so but was reluctant to admit, “You can’t really say it’s my fault, right? That dog-eyed servant who looks down on others! She’s even lower than us, so what’s there for her to be so frivolous about!”
Sang Hong sighed, “A hand has long and short fingers. For such a huge household, there’s sure to be hundreds of people so who can ensure that all will be good? If something like that sort of incident happens again, don’t act so rashly!”
“Oh yes!” Fang Shi suddenly remembered and said, “That servant, Liu Ya, told me that the incident yesterday was largely Gu Fangzi’s doing. She’s the one who manages the household from the inside! I think the situation there isn’t all too good!”
“Liu Ya?” Sang Hong frowned, “How did Liu Ya know? Did you tell Sang Wan? Didn’t I tell you not to speak of it to Sang Wan? Why didn’t you listen!”
Fang Shi was taken aback but quickly offered an explanation, “Why can’t I say? Just think about it, if Gu Fangzi truly did have the intention to make things difficult for Sang Wan, at least Sang Wan will be well-informed. Otherwise, she might fall into that woman’s schemes yet still be kept in the dark!”
