Chapter 140: She Is Determined To Leave (1/2)

Nanny Li said with a headache, “This old servant consoled Young Mistress for a while, but Young Mistress still wore a smile on her face and spoke calmly. She did not look like she was still holding a grudge, and knew what she should and should not do. But this old servant thinks that something just isn’t right! However, this old servant isn’t really sure! This old servant feels that, sigh, this old servant doesn’t know what to say!”

Shi Fengju’s heart sank: she still minded!

“So even Nanny feels it too.” Shi Fengju smiled unwittingly, “Nanny, tell me, is Sang Wan any different compared to before?”

“Of course!” Nanny Li said, “Although Young Mistress still remains equally concerned about Young Master these days and takes care of you all the same, but she seems to have distanced herself from you. No matter what, she just feels very different from the past!”

“Yes, she knowingly distanced herself from me.” Shi Fengju sighed and said, “She still blames me for not speaking up for her so it’s no wonder she’s still angry with me. But this has to do with my big sister. Big Sister always puts up a strong front; without her saying, I know she still feels like she is living under someone else’s roof. It’s not easy for her too and I cannot hurt her heart any further. Otherwise, my mother will become sad. Some things can only be dealt with by closing an eye. But Sang Wan will have to be the one to end up suffering grievances because it cannot be helped!”

Nanny Li suddenly came to a realization and finally understood somewhat more. “Young Mistress is not the only one to suffer. From how this old servant sees it, you’re suffering as well! Young Mistress is reasonable, so don’t worry, she will understand this eventually! After all, one still has to live their life! If she doesn’t understand, and wants to keep the thorn in her heart, she won’t feel comfortable! But Young Mistress’s dignity cannot be disregarded. Young Master, you have to talk to Eldest Missy a little. Even if something big were to happen, how could she point at the family’s young mistress’s nose, give a rude scolding, and even resort to violence! How will Young Mistress uphold herself in this household when the servants see that!”

“This matter was because of my carelessness; it definitely won’t happen again!” Shi Fengju then thought to himself: was this episode not enough? If this were to happen again, Sang Wan would surely ignore me forever! Shi Fengju’s face dulled and he immediately felt frustrated again. They still had to continue living their lives? Will they be able to do that together? She seemed adamant about leaving this time, would he still be able to keep her?

“Nanny, please take care of Sang Wan for me. In a few days, in a few days, I will go back. I really have something that I’m busy with these few days, so tell her to not worry!” Shi Fengju decided. No matter what, he would not let her go. In any case, he had already made himself clear; if he disregarded that haphazard promise, then it is voided!

“Young Master, don’t worry! This old servant will take care of Young Mistress well. With your words, this old servant can finally relax now and Young Mistress will be happy as well! Young Master, please rest, this old slave will head back first!” Nanny Li said happily.

“Nanny, please do!” Shi Fengju nodded and smiled.

Nanny Li went back happily and explained everything to Sang Wan at once. Of course, she did not forget to add a few more compliments for Shi Fengju and mentioned how much he still thought about Young Mistress! Sang Wan knew that she had always sided Shi Fengju so did not think much about her words and listened out of courtesy.

“Young Master said he’s really busy these few days and will be back in a few days. Young Mistress, you see, Young Master’s heart always has you! No matter what he did in the past, shouldn’t the past remain the past? Young Mistress, you should stop holding onto them anymore! Eldest Missy doesn’t come and find trouble for you these days, right? It looks like Young Master had already talked to her so that absurd thing wouldn’t happen again. So Young Mistress, you don’t have to worry anymore!”

The more Nanny Li spoke, the more her lips became loose and she revealed, “Miss Gu also went to the study room to court Shi Fengju’s favor. Luckily, this old servant arrived at the right moment. Young Mistress, you need to be more alert, don’t let that certain someone take advantage of the situation!”

Sang Wan blinked and she finally asked, “Sister went to the study room as well?”

Nanny Li secretly regret speaking too much, but she could only smile and say, “Yes, Miss Gu brought some hangover soup to Young Master. But before he could drink it, this old servant arrived. After that, Miss Gu left and Young Master drank the hangover soup from us instead!”

An inexplicable sense of unhappiness arose within Sang Wan. He must be happy that his beloved sweetheart brought him hangover soup, right?

“If that is so, then there was no need for us to bring the soup to him,” Sang Wan gave a small smile and said, “Sister is so considerate! I’m sure Young Master must be very happy to see her.”

“That isn’t the case!” Nanny Li immediately said, “Young Master let her leave after exchanging only a few sentences! This old servant can see that Young Master’s heart only has you, he doesn’t treat Miss Gu as he did previously! Young Master has finally become sensible; she is a concubine now, how can she compete with you? Young Master will never allow her to bully you!”

Sang Wan smiled indifferently, “I understand what Nanny is trying to say! Don’t worry, as long as I’m still the Shi family’s Mistress, I will fulfill my responsibility!”

“This, this, this old servant knows you are an understanding person…” Nanny Li nodded with a smile. Something just didn’t seem right.

“Missy, won’t our entire day’s effort go to waste if we leave just like this?” Lan Xiang could not help but ask softly as they left the study room.

“You don’t say!” Gu Fangzi had a stomach full of resentment and she poked Lan Xiang on the forehead with her finger as she glared, “What other choice do we have? I’m afraid that I will end up quarreling with that annoying hag again; that’ll really put all our efforts to waste!”

Lan Xiang was stunned for a moment as she found Gu Fangzi a little strange. She thought to herself: what’s wrong with Missy? Since when was she so afraid of Nanny Li?

“This is called retreating to advance, understand? You won’t know even if I were to explain it to you!”Gu Fangzi said snappily, “Enough, let’s hurry home!”
