Chapter 129: Sang Wan’s Anger (1/2)

“Good, good!” Wang Shi smiled happily, “Our Sang Wan’s beauty is indeed unrivalled!” With that, Wang Shi had someone help Sang Wan back to her seat.

Wang Shi turned to Shi Yumei and added, “If you’re filled with grievances, please let me or your brother know. You’re not allowed to act so unruly without any regard for the rules! A prestigious lady from the Shi family is not a common shrew on the street!”

“Yes…” Shi Yumei swallowed her words and lowered her head.

“This issue ends here!” Wang Shi waved her hand and said, “You should all head back now, I’m getting a headache from this! Fengju, accompany Sang Wan back.”

Shi Fengju nodded and left with Sang Wan.

After they left the courtyard, Sang Wan immediately kept a distance from Shi Fengju and silently went to hold Liu Ya’s hand as they returned.

Shi Fengju opened his mouth but swallowed his words with a bitter smile. He knew that she had suffered considerably from this, but he understood his sister’s temper even more. In front of his sister, even if he wanted to help his wife, he could not do so too directly. If he did that, his sister might become provoked to do something more extreme. After all, she was his blood-related sister and his mother really doted on her; what could he do about his sister’s unreasonable actions?

“Sir, Eldest Missy’s tantrum——” Nanny Li tugged at Shi Fengju and sighed softly, “You have to urge her! If this episode repeats itself, then Ma’am will really have no face left! This old servant must really step in this time; Eldest Missy is in the wrong, Ma’am being angry cannot be blamed! Luckily, the slap did not land on Ma’am’s face; otherwise, how would she be able to face others?”

“Nanny, why would I not know that it isn’t easy for Sang Wan? But Big Sister is still Big Sister and then there’s my mother too.” Shi Fengju said, “Nanny, can you help me coax Sang Wan? I’ll compensate her another time!”

“What use is there for you to compensate! It isn’t even your fault!” Nanny Li could not help but laugh, then she sighed, “This old servant was happy to see your progress with Ma’am these few days. Who knew that this would happen! But you are right, this old servant understands your difficulty too. Sir, have you ever thought about why Eldest Missy is so against Ma’am?”

Shi Fengju creased his eyebrows and sighed, “Big Sister was opposed to this marriage since a long time ago and she was always prejudiced against Sang Wan!” When Shi Fengju brought it up, he felt bad towards Sang Wan. Wasn’t he the same as his sister last time? Venting all the anger on Sang Wan even though she was completely innocent. This marriage was an arrangement made by the elders of the two households, neither of them could change their final decision. But he vented all his anger on her and she had no choice but to endure his torrent.

It definitely wasn’t fair for her!

“That could be a reason, but that was only when our eldest missy has never seen our Ma’am and isn’t familiar with her which could be why she has a prejudice against her. But our Ma’am is such a fine lady; who will dislike her after spending some time with her? Unless, someone is behind this!” Nanny Li said.

“Nanny, are you hinting at something? Nanny, please be more direct instead!” Shi Fengju felt like some truth might come out of this.

Nanny Li rolled her eyes and tutted disapprovingly, “Then this old servant will be straightforward with you! Sir, my words may not be pleasant to the ears, but who else in this household wants to see the downfall of Ma’am and her being ill-treated? That will be none other than the person staying in Peony Park! Eldest Missy has always been close with Miss Gu and they seem unusually closer these days! This old servant doesn’t believe that Miss Gu is not responsible for Eldest Missy to act in such a way today!”

“Cousin Fangzi?” Shi Fengju was stunned momentarily. He really hadn’t thought about it that way at all. But it was just——

“I think Fangzi is really obedient these days. Nanny, are you thinking too much? Anyway, she’s only a concubine and Sang Wan is my wife. Even if Sang Wan isn’t liked by my sister, what benefits could she reaped out of it?”

“Sir, just listen to yourself!” Nanny Li said disappointedly, “Think about it, if Ma’am becomes hated by everyone, won’t it be her turn to shine?”

“Nanny Li, your words don’t seem to make sense too.” Shi Fengju shook his head and said, “If Cousin Fangzi really want to assault Sang Wan, shouldn’t she start with me? What’s the use of influencing Big Sister? Sang Wan is my wife, as long as I am good to her, what can my sister do?”

Nanny Li was stunned momentarily. Sir’s words made sense. In a fight for affection, shouldn’t Gu Fangzi be going for Sir? Instead of doing that, she went and influenced Eldest Missy. This didn’t seem right. Like what Sir had said, as long as he continued to think highly of Ma’am, Eldest Missy was only a woman married to another household, she could not involve herself in her brother’s family. Sir was also a steadfast man, he wouldn’t change his mind because of his sister.

“No matter what, Ma’am has suffered today! Eldest Missy’s attitude towards Ma’am is also really strange. It shouldn’t be the case, this is strange! When Eldest Missy came back, Ma’am has always treated her with grace and kindness, and never uttered any complaints. This old servant has always been watching… This is so strange, really strange!” Nanny Li was perturbed.

Shi Fengju suddenly seemed to have understood why and his eyes narrowed.

“Alright nanny, don’t worry. Sang Wan is my wife, no matter how others might falsely accuse her, I will still believe in her and protect her. You should quickly go back and accompany her. I, I’ll not go back for now! I’m afraid she’ll become even angrier at the sight of me.”

“Understood, then I will head over first! Remember to come back early in the afternoon and cajole Ma’am. She knows you’re in a difficult position and won’t blame you!” Nanny Li nodded and left.

The thought of Ren Zhixian and Sang Yufei immediately came to mind. Sang Yufei became the top escorted examinee on his first try. On the other hand, Ren Zhixian failed even after three tries. With this stark contrast in addition to his egoistic and pedantic personality, it will be weird if he don’t feel any animosity towards Sang Yufei! My own sister is also competitive and extremely protective of those around her. Adding to her own prejudice against Sang Wan, isn’t that adding fuel to the fire?
