Chapter 72: A Lifeless Marriage (2/2)

“Quickly! Just say that I’m waiting to eat with him!” Gu Fangzi nodded.

Seeing Lan Xiang leave to invite Shi Fengju, Gu Fangzi’s mood became slightly better. She let out a long sigh before smirking coldly and murmuring to herself, “Trying to humiliate me, aren’t you? Too bad you aren’t skilled enough! Even if I can’t handle you, I’m sure Big Cousin can! Ma’am Shi !”

Gu Fangzi sat in front of the dressing mirror and wanted to smear some makeup on her face. Recalling that those had all disappeared, she hatefully cussed a few more times before doing what she could to make herself more presentable. But after some thought, she held herself back and let her already tidied hair loose to make herself look extremely pitiful.

This would do the trick! When Big Cousin sees this, he will definitely stand up for me!

Gu Fangzi smirked as she quietly pictured Shi Fengju’s expression when he saw her like that.

Unfortunately, Lan Xiang was unable to invite Shi Fengju over.

“Young Master said, the trip here for Missy must’ve been tiring, so he’d like you to rest first. He’ll come over a few days later to see Missy. He also said that if Missy needs anything else, Missy can go to the small garden and make a request to Ma’am. Ma’am will be understanding and…” Lan Xiang twirled her fingers uneasily, and her voice gradually became softer and softer.

The imposing aura from Gu Fangzi was overwhelming. Her face was extremely pale, and her eyes were opened so wide that they could fall off at any moment. Her plain white clothes, as well as a house which felt like an ice cave, perfectly complemented her jealous expression, making Lan Xiang even more cautious.

“What did you say?” As if she was almost gnawing at her teeth, she said each word one at a time.

“Missy…” Lan Xiang subconsciously took two steps back and arched her shoulders. She was afraid to make another sound.

“Ask him again!” Gu Fangzi had lost it. Furiously, she yelled and pointed at the door, “Go and ask him again! Tell him, if he still refuses to come, I will not eat without him!”

Lan Xiang stood rooted to the spot and could not help but take a glimpse of Gu Fangzi while remaining silent. She thought to herself, Missy ah, Missy, nubi can see that the situation is already disadvantageous, yet why are you still using such tricks?

Still, thoughts were just thoughts, and Lan Xiang did not dare say them in front of Gu Fangzi. Bracing herself once more, she accepted her orders and went out again.

Gu Fangzi sneered proudly. She’ll deal with him later when he comes! But of course, Lan Xiang returned by herself once again.

Gu Fangzi found it unbelievable! How could this be? He had never been like this before, and this trick of hers had never failed before!

Knowing that Gu Fangzi found it hard to believe, Lan Xiang forced herself and said softly, ” Young Master said, said, that if Missy doesn’t have any appetite, then she should take a rest first because today must’ve been tiring. Once Missy’s appetite returns, she can…”

“Did he really say that? Did you really meet with him, or are you lying to me?” Gu Fangzi glared at Lan Xiang.

Lan Xiang was a little disappointed by such remark, but she smiled bitterly as she asked, “Missy, have you lost trust in your own servant, too?”

“Nubi doesn’t dare to deceive Missy. Young Master really said so!”

Gu Fangzi’s heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, and she trembled slightly.

His heart has changed, his heart really has changed! All this time, that was what she was worried about the most, and lo and behold, that nightmare turned out to be true!

Gu Fangzi could not help but clench her teeth tightly. Fortunately, she had married into the family already. Otherwise, there might not be another chance left for her!

She looked up and gazed at everything around her. Everything was plain and pale, but all the furniture was of good quality; it was much better than the broken yard of Gu family. And with this, she regretted nothing for marrying in today.

There are still many years ahead!

Gu Fangzi whispered to herself.

“Go to the study room again,” Gu Fangzi exhaled deeply and said slowly to Lan Xiang who almost burst out crying, “Just tell him that I’m the one at fault. Even if I was upset by the recent events, I shouldn’t have acted wilfully. I’ll take a rest now and meet with Big Cousin tomorrow, as well as Aunt and Sister. Please tell Big Cousin to rest early and not sleep too late because lack of sleep isn’t good for the body! Go then!”

Lan Xiang was stunned and nodded her head abruptly. “Understood, nubi will do so!”

Study room? How was she was so sure that Young Master would be in the study room when he was actually at the small garden! However, at this time, she did not dare to add fuel to the fire by telling Gu Fangzi that.

Gu Fangzi smirked. Squinting her eyes, she gazed at the chilly flame. Does that woman think that it’s over? No, this is just the beginning!

After the meal, Gu Fangzi went to sleep, and the night finally quietened down. Nanny Li, who was waiting eagerly to watch a drama, was left disappointed.

Even though she had accepted the reality, that did not mean that she approved of it. The day that Gu Fangzi entered on a sedan chair, Sang Wan might have looked indifferent as she handled all sorts of household affairs, but her heart felt somewhat empty and at a loss.
