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

“Of course!” Perplexed, Sang Wan looked at her and said with a smile, “Nanny must be overthinking! I will do what a wife has to do, and serve my husband!” Nothing more.

Nanny Li still felt something was not right. She opened her mouth but not a single word left. In fact, she was confused as well. Ma’am was gentle and generous, and served Sir wholeheartedly and carefully. She took care of everything else in Sir’s life, however, something must have changed. Although she had no idea what it was, she was sure that was why Sir became angry! But Ma’am did not do anything wrong, so there was nothing she could say to persuade her. That was why if Sir returned, he would still get angry at Ma’am! It would be better if he didn’t return!

“Maybe, maybe Sir has something urgent to handle. Let’s wait a few days and see…But Ma’am, please listen to this old servant, you and Sir are a married couple and life has to go on. you shouldn’t let yourself be so upset even if it isn’t for Sir’s sake. This old servant is only saying this because I’m worried for you!” Sang Wan’s tears and hug yesterday completely triggered Nanny Li’s maternal instinct, and it touched her heart. Unknowingly, she became a little closer to Sang Wan. Otherwise, she would have stood on Shi Fengju’s side when a quarrel between them happened..

“Nanny, I know.” Sang Wan smiled thankfully and nodded her head.

“This old servant knew you’d understand!” Nanny Li said with a smile.

Finally, the long day had passed. Gu Fangzi changed into a new set of clothes and combed her hair. The chicken soup that the kitchen had been preparing for the entire day was also sent to her in a pot and was kept warm on a small stove. Gu Fangzi gazed outside frequently to check if Lan Xiang had returned.

Unexpectedly, after a long wait, Lan Xiang was still not back even when the sun had gone down. Gu Fangzi could not help but become fretful and she cussed under her breath.

A quick glance again and Gu Fangzi saw that Lan Xiang was back at last. She hurried out as she couldn’t wait any longer and stopped Lan Xiang in the yard, “What took you so long! Is Big Cousin back yet?”

Lan Xiang seemed somewhat scared as she shook her head and said with a forced smile, “No, not yet. This servant——”

“Then why are you back here!” Just like being poured cold water, Gu Fangzi spoke angrily, “Go back and keep an eye at the study room!”

Lan Xiang hurriedly mentioned, “This servant heard from the servant at the study room that Sir is having dinner outside with someone tonight, so he will be back late! So, so…”

Gu Fangzi was stumped for words. Of course she was upset, but this was not a bad thing after all; if he were to get drunk, then it would be even better!

“Inform the kitchen, to prepare a bowl of hangover soup! Go and eat first, continue to keep an eye on the study room after you’ve finished. Return here once Big Cousin is back! Go!” Gu Fangzi commanded.

“Yes, Missy! Missy, you don’t have to worry, this servant will focus entirely on the study room!” Lan Xiang helped Gu Fangzi back to the house, “Missy, please have your dinner, this servant will serve you first!”

“No need! Just have the servant bring me the dishes. Hurry up, you have more important things to do!” And then she grunted, “If you mess this up, you should know what’s waiting for you!”

“This servant understands, this servant will go now!” Lan Xiang’s heart tightened and she left hurriedly.

By the time Shi Fengju returned, it was already in the middle of the night and the moon was already up in the sky. After confirming that he went back to the study room, Lan Xiang rushed back to Peony Park to tell Gu Fangzi.

Gu Fangzi finally got her opportunity after waiting for the whole day. Knowing that all her efforts had paid off made her excited and pleased, and a bright smile formed on her face. “Quickly, pour a bowl of hangover soup, we will head there now!”

“Yes, Missy!” Lan Xiang had no time to hesitate, and she answered quickly as prepared.

After getting the hangover soup into the bowl, Gu Fangzi stopped just before her foot stepped out of the house, “This can’t do! Let’s wait a little more! We can’t go there too soon!”

If she went there too soon, it would be obvious that she was purposely waiting for him! Gu Fangzi forced herself to calm down. She had to at least wait a quarter of an hour.

Lan Xiang wanted to persuade her again, but she kept her mouth shut after seeing her missy’s calm state of mind. “Yes, Missy.” Lan Xiang stood to the side becomingly.

For Gu Fangzi who was anxious and impatient, it was miserable as waiting for a quarter of an hour was basically the same as waiting for an entire day. When it was finally time to go, Gu Fangzi strode out after telling Lan Xiang to go. Lan Xiang hurriedly follow with the food box.

After arriving outside of the study room’s courtyard, Gu Fangzi took the food box from Lan Xiang before taking a deep breath to ease the impatient expression on her face. Slowly, she went ahead.
