Chapter 138: Opportunities Are Rare To Come By (1/2)

Lan Xiang was eager to help Gu Fangzi. She was itching to see Gu Fangzi reconcile with Shi Fengju. On one hand, it was to show her loyalty to her owner, on the other, and most importantly, her bitter times would end if they reconciled!

During the time when Gu Fangzi was given the cold shoulder by Shi Fengju, she would naturally vent her frustrations on Lan Xiang; having to pass each day trembling in fear was way too unpleasant.

“No!” Gu Fangzi’s eyes lit up for a moment before that urge was suppressed. She shook her head and said firmly, “It is still not the time yet! Let’s wait a while longer and speak about this in two or three days! This will give Big Cousin some time to think things through and realize who on earth truly cares for him!”

Before, she lost just because she wasn’t able to see the bigger picture. Now, she must learn to calm herself down and await the best possible timing; she definitely could not afford to make the same mistake twice. Hmph, men are all contemptible, the harder it is for them to get, the more they would want it. She mustn’t submit too easily. Instead, she would have to devise a careful plan to let him take the initiative to approach her!

“But, Missy!” Lan Xiang was worried. She couldn’t just sit and watch as an opportunity escaped, so she hurriedly said, “Missy, things may change if you delay! What if Ma’am admits her mistake and reconciles with Sir? Won’t we lose our opportunity again? Missy, don’t forget that Nanny Li is on Ma’am’s side, how can Nanny Li not do anything to help them if she sees them at odds with each other? Neither Ma’am nor Sir will ignore Nanny Li’s words!”

Gu Fangzi’s heart suddenly shivered; that could happen too!

“Your words make sense,” Gu Fangzi’s heart, which was once full of confidence, was now shaken by Lan Xiang’s words, just like the ripples made after a stone was thrown into a calm lake.

“Yes, Missy, you have to strike while the iron is hot!” Lan Xiang went on to persuade her, “Sir may be feeling upset right now. if Missy were to show up to comfort him and be nice to him, how could he not be reminded of how nice you were before? Isn’t now the best timing——”

“You seem very eager and quite knowledgeable about this situation! Why didn’t I notice it before!” Gu Fangzi raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly as she stared at Lan Xiang.

“This servant thanks Missy for the praise!” While Lan Xiang happily bowed and gave her thanks, she suddenly sensed that Gu Fangzi’s smile and tone felt a little off, as if there was a sense of coldness and caution.

Lan Xiang’s heart quivered, and she hurriedly knelt, “Missy, this servant wholeheartedly and loyally thinks only for you! This servant will never have any inordinate ambitions! This servant is alone with no one else but Missy to rely on! Only when Missy’s life becomes good will this servant’s life be good. If Missy was desolate, then this servant will struggle as well!”

“Enough, enough! I know that you are loyal to me, now get up!” Gu Fangzi waved her hand and frowned slightly. Maybe she was thinking too much; for a girl with no one to rely on, what can she do other than depend on her? Her reason for buying Lan Xiang from outside and groom her into a trustworthy servant was because Lan Xiang had no connections within the Shi family, which made her easy to use! It was likely that this girl would not dare to be disloyal!

However, the last portion of the servant’s words were triggering. Since when was she “desolate”? She was merely in her mourning period!

“Keep your eyes tight on Big Cousin and inform me once he returns! Also, pay the kitchen two silvers and have Auntie Han stew a bowl of nicely-done chicken soup with bamboo shoots!”

“Yes, Missy!” Lan Xiang jolted and hurriedly answered before getting up from the floor. “Should I prepare Missy’s clothes and accessories first?”

Gu Fangzi lowered her head and looked at her plain clothes. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes but she said, “No need! Just this will do! All the clothes are about the same anyway! Hmph! And do you think those junk is even qualified to be called accessories?”

Lan Xiang did not dare to say anything else and hurriedly prepared to leave.

Before Lan Xiang’s persuasion, Gu Fangzi was calm and full of confidence. But ever since she heard Lan Xiang’s words, she could no longer stay calm. She was fidgety and her heart was in a mess; how could she wait three or four days? She was itching to see Shi Fengju the moment he returned!

She was also afraid that maybe she wasn’t quick enough and the people from Ning Garden had already approached him first? Then she would be happy for nothing! Even if Sang Wan was being pretentious and refused to back down, there was still the sagacious Nanny Li in Ning Garden!

It turned out that Gu Fangzi wasn’t wrong. Nanny Li was indeed trying her best to persuade Sang Wan, “Even the tongue and the teeth would meet occasionally, let alone two people! How can a quarrel between a couple last overnight? Life has to go on, doesn’t it? Ma’am, please listen to this old servant. After tonight, let all your anger go and talk things through if there’s any problem! It’s going to be Lunar New Year soon and if Mistress knows about what is happening between you and Sir, won’t she be upset? Ma’am, then this old servant will send someone to keep a lookout for Sir and invite him back once he returns, okay? This old servant will also have the kitchen prepare some dishes that the both of you like and ready a pot of wine. Please use this chance to speak your heart!”

“Nanny,” Sang Wan said with a smile, “You’re mistaken. Sir is the master of this household, how could I dare to be angry at him? Furthermore, I have nothing to be angry about at all! This Ning Garden belongs to Sir, he will come back whenever he wants, I have no comments about that! Whatever Nanny wishes to do, then please do!”

After hearing Sang Wan’s words, Nanny Li became speechless.

Although Sang Wan seemed normal, something just did not seem right!

“So,“ Nanny Li probed, “If this servant invites Sir back, Ma’am won’t give Sir the look and will treat him well like before?”
