Chapter 69: An Annoyed Mother-in-law (2/2)

Shi Fengju shook his head, “She insisted on it, and there’s nothing more I can say to it!” Thinking about how aggressive Gu Fangzi was as she cried and made a scene, Shi Fengju could not help but feel a little disgusted.

Although Zhuang Weixian had a lot of curiosity trapped in his heart, he knew he should not seek any further and he smiled, “Enough, since it was she who insisted, then what’s there to hold back for? Just welcome her in and support her needs. After all, even if there were another hundred, your Shi family can support them all!”

“Rubbish!” Shi Fengju snapped and glared at him, but he had a smile on his face. It was true, just support her needs would be enough. Just that, Sang Wan——

Thinking of how Sang Wan was determined to leave, Shi Fengju’s mind felt even more chaotic. But that matter could not be let known by any outsiders, even if it were Zhuang Weixian. Pouring a pear blossom wine down his throat, he secretly made a decision: He will not let her leave so easily.

Drunk again, Shi Fengju returned late at night. At any rate, it was all thanks to Zhuang Weixian persuading him to stop so he was not drunk to such a state like last night. Although drowsy, his mind still had a trace of being conscious.

Shi Fengju did not wish to disturb Sang Wan and he ordered Zhan Huan to help him to the study room. Zhuan Huan did not dare to disobey but seeing how drunk his master was, he dared not to show no concern and he sent for someone to notify the small garden. At this time, Sang Wan was already asleep so Nanny Li brought a few others and hurried over to the study room. Seeing him in such a state, she felt distressed and busily went brew a bowl of hangover soup before instructing Liu Ya to stay to serve in the study room.

And with that, the matter ended.

However, Wang Shi came to know of the matter on the next day and immediately turned unhappy. Her son had always been sensible and rarely returns home drunk. However, to be drunk for two consecutive nights, that was unheard of! Moreover, he went directly to sleep in the study room on the second night!

Associating it with Gu Fangzi marrying into the family, Wang Shi naturally thought of Sang Wan and believed that she was displeased and had a quarrel with Shi Fengju. The quarrel must have made him upset which made him go out to drink.

The more Wang Shi thought, the angrier she got. And the angrier she got, the more she felt sorry for her son. And the sorrier she felt, the more unhappy she was at Sang Wan. Isn’t he just getting a concubine? She had clearly agreed to it, but to think that she would actually vent all her unhappiness at Shi Fengju; to say one thing then do another, absolutely outrageous!

And so, early in the morning, Wang Shi called for Sang Wan to reprimand her.

“What did Shi Fengju do last night?” Wang Shi asked.

Wang Shi’s had always been one to expose her feelings, and although she was doing her best to keep a calm face, Sang Wan was able to see the stiffness of her face and the bluntness in her tone. However, it was all too sudden and Sang Wan was not sure why she was called over. With a smile, she said, “He said he was going to eat out with a friend.”

“Then what time did he come home?” Wang Shi did her best to prevent her anger from exploding.

Sang Wan sensed an unpleasant hunch and she shook her head, “I, I was already asleep and don’t know… Sir returned to the study room last night…”

“Don’t know?!” Wang Shi slammed her hand on the table and scolded, “He’s your husband, not someone else. As his wife, how can you not care for your own husband! Regardless whether he’s dead or alive outside, you can still sleep first? To think you can still sleep! And even let him rest in the study room? The servants are careless and know not how to serve! Oh my poor son, married yet as if never married, with no one to greatly care for him! If not for Nanny Li last night, just think about it, he would be suffering for a night! If he were to catch a cold and fall sick, how will you feel!”

The more Wang Shi spoke, the more she felt sorry for her son and her expression turned even more ugly.

“Mother, your daughter-in-law recognizes her mistake and will gladly accept her punishment!” Sang Wan, like a bolt, immediately kneeled in front of Wang Shi. She finally understood that she truly was not in the position to lose her temper or throw a tantrum! Could he have been too tolerant towards her and become muddled after being exposed to her temperament for a long time? Sang Wan joked to herself, was he being tolerant towards her?

Wang Shi was maddened and she continued, “In these two days, he was drunk outside on two consecutive nights. To think I do not know that my child had become an alcoholic! Sang Wan, I know you’re angry deep down, your mouth might not say it but your heart might be thinking otherwise! But you can’t keep on making him suffer ah! Fengju was out working hard for the few months, not only did you not serve him well when he returned home, you vented your frustrations and him and made him upset. How can you do that! How can you not show any concern for your own husband!”

Sang Wan felt embarrassed and angry. Her mother-in-law’s words were too severe and it was not something she could bear. But Sang Wan knew if she were to defend herself, her mother-in-law would definitely get even angrier. But if she does not do so, it would mean accepting those words which would be more disadvantageous for her.

“Mother, Sang Wan doesn’t dare. Sang Wan didn’t throw a tantrum! Sang Wan really didn’t!”

“Didn’t?” Sure enough, Wang Shi became even more annoyed, “I know my son best. If he isn’t feeling upset, then why would he go out to drink to such a state for two nights in a row!”

“The wife doesn’t dare to manage what the husband does. What he said, Sang Wan only listened. What he doesn’t say, Sang Wan doesn’t dare to ask! Whether his heart is troubled or not, Sang Wan really doesn’t know ah! All he said was that he would be eating out, as for everything else, Sang Wan really doesn’t know! After Mother’s teaching, Sang Wan will keep it to heart. In the future, Sang Wan will ask more questions!”

“You!” Wang Shi hesitated for a moment. Although she was furious at Sang Wan for talking back at her, she had actually calmed down a little and absorbed her words.

Seizing the opportunity, Sang Wan redoubled her efforts, “Mother, Sang Wan really has no objection towards cousin-in-law marrying in! Being the first wife, how can Sang Wan not endure that? What’s more, this matter will happen sooner or later, a little earlier or a little later, what difference does it make? If Sang Wan really did feel upset, then Sang Wan would have already made a tantrum, why wait until now!”

Wang Shi became silent. Her face relaxed a little and she asked, “Is that how you really think so?”
