Chapter 130: Mediation (1/2)

Shi Fengju smiled, “If this is not okay and that is not okay; tell me, what do you want me to do?”

Sang Wan was at a loss of words. Because, she didn’t know what could be done too! Shi Yumei was just like a beancurd dropped among a pile of ash; she couldn’t be blown away or hit!

Shi Fengju sighed and put his hand on Sang Wan’s shoulder. Even if Sang Wan moved away, he was not angry and said calmly, “My sister isn’t actually a bad person, she’s just stubborn and direct. More often than not, she will sometimes speak without any consideration for the people around her and not give them any face. Sang Wan, she just has some prejudice against you. I think, if she knows you better, she won’t treat you this way! I will do my best to let her get to know you more and let her know that you’re my——”

“There’s no need for that!” Sang Wan became impatient, “I’m not that hopeful! If you wish to change her even when you know her temper, don’t you think it sounds ridiculous? Furthermore, there’s no need for it anyway!”

“Sang Wan, what do you mean by this?” Shi Fengju’s expression changed. There is no need for it, is she still insistent on leaving his side?

“Nothing!” Sang Wan shook her head before asking nonchalantly, “Has your third brother and my second brother returned? Did you ask them about it? What’s the outcome?”

“Sang Wan,” Shi Fengju smiled bitterly, “Didn’t Mother say to stop, why are you raising it up again?”

Sang Wan gave an incredulous look at him and said coldly, “What? Even the outcome cannot be told to me? Even so, I trust my second brother’s morals; I know even without asking you! But I still wanted to ask because if we were in the wrong this time, will your sister still let it go?”

“Sang Wan!” Shi Fengju looked at her sternly, “You are the eldest daughter-in-law of our Shi family, there are bound to be times when you’ll have to suffer a little. There are some things that ——”

“You don’t have to tell me anymore!” Sang Wan was exasperated. On the outside, she was a Ma’am who had everything, with maidservants to order around, but was she able to escape her misery because of that? When the hostility was just right behind a thin curtain, had she not chosen to let go? She just smiled and ignored the scoldings and sarcastic words that rained upon her all these times. When that woman came to Ning Garden to ask for her things, she gave it. There was even a time when she eyed Zhide and almost took her away without permission. This time, it was something even more ridiculous: barging into her place, pointing at her nose while scolding her, and even hitting someone. Even if she were well-tempered, surely there was no way she could continue enduring all of it?

Sang Wan got up and left silently. Shi Fengju called out to her twice but she did not respond. She was too naïve. She was too naïve to think that he would change for her in this lifetime. She tried, little by little, all because she was naive!

In fact, all of these could be resolved easily. As long as Gu Fangzi replaced her and became the Shi family’s Ma’am, everything could be resolved and everyone would be free from this misery.

Sang Wan was finally clear. She was too foolish, trying to be a magnanimous and nice woman. Why not do the opposite? The worst she would get was a divorce document! She still had her brothers and sister-in-law, surely they wouldn’t abandon her? After all, her two brothers and sister-in-law would not want her to swallow all her resentments and continue to be bullied anyways!

Shi Fengju sat in the chamber for a moment before letting out a few sighs with a hand on his forehead. This matter was even more complicated than his business; his head was hurting so badly just from the thought of it! His wife was angry and his sister was unhappy! But he would not have been in this difficult position if he did not love them dearly! But neither of them understood his difficulty and were now both angry at him!

Being a good person sure was difficult!

When Shi Fengju returned home to rest, the bed curtains were already pulled closed and Sang Wan had already gone to sleep. He gently pulled one corner of the curtain and realized that this woman did not leave him any space like she would in the past few days.

Shi Fengju hesitated for a moment, feeling lost on whether he should shamelessly squeeze beside her or obediently pull out a mattress and sleep on the floor.

Sang Wan could feel the presence of someone standing beside the bed and she opened her eyes in reflex.

“Sang Wan,” Shi Fengju smiled when he saw that she was awake, “Sang Wan, the weather is cold, please leave me some space! I promise I won’t disturb you.”

Sang Wan did not want to see him at this moment, let alone lie on the same bed as him. This bast*rd had been acting pitiful and sugarcoating all his words for the past few days, to the point where she almost became sympathetic, but it seemed that there was no need to be!

“This is your room, if you want to sleep on the bed, I can’t stop you either. I’ll just give you space!” Sang Wan got up and was about to get out off the bed.

“Where are you going?” Shi Fengju panicked and held her.

“Giving you space!” Sang Wan said coolly, “You can take the bed, I will sleep on the floor.”

“Forget it! Just go back to sleep!” Shi Fengju could not help but get angry. He let go of the curtain and pulled a long face as he forcefully opened the cabinet to take out the mattress.

Sang Wan merely ignored him and continued sleeping.

A cold war began between the two and the atmosphere in Ning Garden turned awkward. Even though the two were still polite to each other, everyone felt uncomfortable to be caught in the middle of the conflict.
