Chapter 155 (1/2)

Sang Wan was the wife of the eldest son . Even though w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ was lax with the practices, there were still many things that Sang Wan needed to arrange . When that time came, she would have to get busy . Sang Wan smiled and accepted . She called for a chair, for Nanny Li to rest on, and a handwarmer for Nanny Li before giving a few instructions . Once done, she left with s.h.i.+ Fengju .

After leaving Ji Cui Tower, Sang Wan felt as if her legs could give in at any moment . Her waist and shoulders were sore and her throat was dry . She could not help but raise her arm to gently rub her shoulder and neck .

A powerful hand was placed lightly on her shoulder . Its slender fingers helped rub her shoulder with an appropriate strength . s.h.i.+ Fengju’s gentle voice rang beside her ear, “Tired? You are in too much of a hurry . You could’ve left it to be done tomorrow . Third Uncle and Third Aunt will understand . ”

Feeling the comfort in her shoulders, Sang Wan relaxed her muscles subconsciously and hummed lightly . She tilted her head and smiled, “It would be the same even if it were done tomorrow . The earlier I start, the earlier it finishes . ”

Although Third Aunt seemed gentle and restrained, but just by her conversation with Second Aunt, Sang Wan knew that she was not easy to deal with . Sang Wan still wished to live a peaceful life, and thus would rather work harder now . From the moment they arrived, she immediately began the preparations . She had already done her best so even if they were unsatisfied, they would not be able to blame her!

s.h.i.+ Fengju smiled while shaking his head as he looked at her tenderly .

He had never seen her work before . She was so conscientious, careful, and devoted . Her distinguished and n.o.ble temperament that was shown unintentionally through her behaviour, her words, her laughter, her smile, and even her frowns, enthralled him deeply . She was his wife, and the more time he spent with her, the better he thought of her . At the same time, he felt he knew too little about her .

“There’s no way this would be finished quickly, so why tire yourself out?” s.h.i.+ Fengju smiled . He couldn’t help but move closer to her and said quietly, “Let’s head back quickly, I’ll give you a good ma.s.sage when we get back . ”

Sang Wan blushed and pushed him away subconsciously .

“Don’t move,” Meanwhile, s.h.i.+ Fengju suddenly grasped her soft and cold hand . His gaze narrowed at her hair and he said, “There’s something on your hair!” While he spoke, his other hand brushed a wisp of cobweb off her hair .

Sang Wan wanted to struggle, but she couldn’t bicker about him holding onto her hand after hearing his words . All she could do was remain still and let him help her remove the dirty thing from her hair . Otherwise, it would be embarra.s.sing if others saw her .

“Hehe!”

Just when s.h.i.+ Fengju was about to show her the wisp of cobweb around his finger, they heard the sound of laughter coming from two girls .

That surprised the two of them and they looked towards where the laughter was coming from . Sang Wan even took the chance to pull her hand back before taking a step back .

s.h.i.+ Fengju felt a little sullen . He smiled at s.h.i.+ Yuzhen and s.h.i.+ Yulin and asked, “Second Sister and Fourth Sister, why aren’t you resting in your room? Aren’t you tired after the long travel?”

s.h.i.+ Yulin was holding onto her sister’s hand and hid behind her . She smiled while looking at them quietly . On the other hand, s.h.i.+ Yuzhen winked wittily and said, “We aren’t tired . I’m just bringing Fourth Sister to visit Third Sister! Who knew we’d meet Big Brother and Sister-in-law by coincidence!”

s.h.i.+ Fengju laughed, “Hurry along then! Third Sister must be feeling listless being in her room everyday . She would definitely be hoping for someone to talk with her!”

s.h.i.+ Yuzhen smiled, “Then we shall not interrupt Big Brother and Sister-in-law!” She nodded at Sang Wan and walked away with s.h.i.+ Yulin . Shortly after, they could hear the girls’ laughter ringing again .

Sang Wan was feeling somewhat embarra.s.sed and she walked with her head held low without speaking a word to s.h.i.+ Fengju again . s.h.i.+ Fengju felt a little embarra.s.sed as well . Why was he so unlucky? It wasn’t easy to have a conversation with his wife and those two girls just had to come out of nowhere .

After they returned to Ning Garden, Zhide and the rest helped change their clothes and wash their faces . After a busy round, Sang Wan and s.h.i.+ Fengju sat down in a warm room to rest and have tea .

“By the way, according to practice, I should prepare a gift for the two sisters when meeting for the first time, shouldn’t I?” Sang Wan asked with a smile .

s.h.i.+ Fengju nodded and smiled, “Just prepare two jewelry for them . They don’t have to be too expensive . Later, you can bring the gifts along for dinner to give them . ”

Sang Wan agreed with a smile and considered giving s.h.i.+ Yuzhen a gold hairpin and a pair of bracelets to s.h.i.+ Yulin .

“Fortunately, you were there with me today . Otherwise, I wouldn’t have a clue and wouldn’t know where to start!” After much consideration, Sang Wan felt that she had better not displease this young master sitting in front of her . If he were to feel unhappy and decide not to help her, who else could she seek help from when her mother-in-law wasn’t willing to be bothered?

Moreover, he deserved her thanks . She had never decorated a house in such a way before . If s.h.i.+ Fengju did not help her, it would really be a difficult task for her .
