Chapter 93: I’m Doing So For The Good of The Shi Family (1/2)

Ren Zhixian spoke with a stern face, “Yumei is right. I’m doing this for the good of your Shi family! Since you do not see a need for it, then forget it! Just do as you deem fit!”

Ren Zhixian was feeling displeased, and he thought to himself, Like a dog biting its master’s hand. I am willing to take the time to give my ideas on how the study room should be arranged today because I’m in a good mood, and all of you are lucky enough to be able to listen to it! What does your family even know about arranging and decorating a study room? Hmph! No wonder; for a family who could not produce a scholar for so many generations, what do you know? All your eyes only see money!

Shi Fengju was annoyed at him for having no sense of urgency. He wasn’t going to let this person off so easily, and he acted as if he could not understand his expression. With a gentle smile, he spoke with full sincerity, “How can I do that! Brother-in-law, you shouldn’t say that ah, this study room will be used by you. If you don’t partake in the decorations and arrangements, it’ll really put me in a difficult position! After all, we are not people who understand this as much as you. If you don’t give your views, then I can only instruct someone to decorate and arrange the study room according to how your old one looked before!”

Ren Zhixian was so furious that he became speechless.

Shi Fengju smiled again. “How about this? When the layout is being produced, Brother-in-law can be at the side to give your opinion. If you think it’s fine, then so be it. But if you think otherwise, then we can still discuss again together.What do you think?”

“I think that’ll be great!” Shi Yumei smiled and nodded.

The anger in Ren Zhixian still did not dissipate. Great? How is that great? Can I even say otherwise? If I were to say otherwise, then he will surely bring up my house—

Deep down, Ren Zhixian was frustrated at Shi Fengju for relying on power to bully him. How he wished he could straighten his back and act all haughty, but thinking about his current situation where he even had to rely on others to provide his ink and brush, there was no way he could do so, and he could only nod carelessly, “Fine!”

“Then that’s settled!” SHi Fengju smiled and continued, “If Brother-in-law has any opinions, just voice them out. I’ll be sure to satisfy you, so that your mood to study won’t be affected!”

Ren Zhixian let out a soft grunt. After leaving the study room, his eyes were fixed on the banana tree and bamboos at the center of the courtyard as he pointed at them. “That banana tree is thick, and that bamboo is blocking the light from entering the study room. Have someone cut them down tomorrow!”

“Understood!” Shi Fengju seemed to not mind. “Cut it is. I’ll have someone cut them down tomorrow! Does Brother-in-law want me to have two plum trees planted there instead?”

Ren Zhixian wanted to refuse, but he hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Then I’ll have to trouble you!”

“Brother-in-law, there’s no need to be so polite!” Shi Fengju smiled. “Brother-in-law wants grown plum trees, right? I’m not too sure if we have any in our household! But that doesn’t matter, there’s sure to be some in Qingzhou. We’ll just buy them!”

His tone was like that of a filthy rich person flaunting all the money he had.

The world in front of Ren Zhixian seemed to spin, and he almost staggered from those words. His heart was feeling jealous and unhappy, and he secretly scolded the heavens. How could an ordinary person be living in riches while a scholar like him had to suffer from poverty! He even had to rely on others and be under their mercy!

Sang Wan watched this spectacular sight, and she sighed as she thanked the heavens! Fortunately, she was able to bring Shi Fengju along. Otherwise, how would she be able to deal with this!

She could not help but cast a glance at Shi Fengju before thinking to herself. Having such a brother-in-law, no wonder he felt disgusted at me for being from a literary family. This really is—

“Second brother ah, you aren’t going anywhere else today, right?” After leaving Banana Courtyard, Shi Yumei suddenly stopped Shi Fengju.

Shi Fengju raised a brow and asked, “Does Big Sis still have something else?”

Shi Yumei smiled as she invited, “If you are free today, why don’t we head to Peony Park together? Come to think of it, it has been long since you, me, and Cousin Fangzi ever had a good chat together!”

Sang Wan cried bitterly in her heart, and her eyes dimmed a little. She acted as if she had not heard what Shi Yumei said.

“I think not,” Shi Fengju smiled. “I am going back to prepare before leaving! Big Sis, I think you should go by yourself instead! Fangzi is still in her period of mourning, so Big Sis, you should go and see her, but don’t stay there for too long.”

“What does it matter!” Shi Yumei smiled. “What’s important is mourning from the heart! Spending the day alone in Peony Park, Fangzi is very pitiful, so why can’t we visit her often! Else how will she be able to mourn for half a year with no one to care about her!”

Shi Fengju suddenly frowned. Just what is she playing at? No one to care for her? Has she lacked anything to eat or anything to wear? As if there’s a need for people to be around her all day before her days can pass! Moreover…

“Half a year?” Feeling doubtful, Shi Fengju asked. Doesn’t she have to mourn for three whole years to be filial?

“You don’t know?” Shi Yumei found it surprising and explained how Gu Fangzi went to the temple and how she dreamt about Gu Jin. She also explained about the paper given by the priest before scolding Shi Fengju, “How can you not care about her and even not know about this! What—you didn’t go and see her last night?”

As she spoke, she glanced skeptically at Sang Wan.

Shi Fengju followed her gaze before saying with a stern expression, “It was already late last night, so I didn’t go. Sang Wan has already told me that she had seen the doctor and was told to rest! As if I have so much free time to always be around her!” Excusing himself saying that he was busy, he then pulled Sang Wan along with him.
