Chapter 173: Third Old Master Shi’s Words (1/2)

Sang Wan relented, and held her hands as she sighed softly and said, “Enough, I know that you feel indignant for me, but there are some words that even I cannot say. Do you understand? Besides, other than making your mouth feel better by complaining, what good does that do? Everything has a cause, this matter——”

Liu Ya’s eyes glimmered and was about to speak, but Shi Fengju pushed open the door and came in, “Sang Wan!”

Liu Ya tactfully bowed and took her leave quietly.

“Sang Wan, are you okay?” Shi Fengju went forward to hold Sang Wan’s hands, and asked with concern.

Sang Wan smiled and shook her head as she pulled him to sit together. While at it, she poured a cup of tea for him and asked with a smile, “Why are you back so quickly? What’d Big Sister find you for?”

“Only to speak some words to me, it wasn’t anything major,” Shi Fengju took the tea but left it aside and said, “I went over Mother’s place to find you and heard all about it from Mother. Sang Wan, I’m sure you’re feeling wronged!”

Sang Wan felt a sense of warmth in her heart and shook her head gently before saying, “Maybe I was careless and did something that Third Aunt dislikes. As someone of a younger generation, it’s okay if she criticizes me a little. Anyway, Mother did not blame me at all, so already I’m very happy at heart.” As Sang Wan spoke with a smile, her eyes shimmered.

“That is true,” Shi Fengju laughed and pulled Sang Wan close. Smiling at her, he said, “It’s clear that Mother is reasonable and still treats you dearly! I feel less worried knowing that you won’t take it to heart.”

Of course Shi Fengju knew the real reason why his mother did not blame Sang Wan. However, as a son, he was not foolish enough to make clear of that fact to Sang Wan. It was better to be foolish for some things in order for everyone to be happy. What was the point of making clear of the fact only to find trouble for himself.

“Still, I’m afraid that Third Aunt still has some unhappiness towards me. We should still have someone investigate this properly to find out what really happened! That way, I can prevent the same mistake from happening again.” Sang Wan said again.

Shi Fengju smiled and said, “I’ve already done that. The moment I came back, I’ve already informed Nanny to do so. I believe she will be able to find out about it very soon.”

Sang Wan felt more relieved in an instant and smiled gratefully towards him, “With Nanny personally doing the investigation, then there really isn’t anything to worry about. Third Aunt also mentioned that she wants to convert one of the side rooms into a small kitchen. Let’s wait for Nanny to be back before making the decision, what do you think?”

Shi Fengju nodded his head, “The kitchen isn’t very urgent at the moment!”

At Peony Park, Gu Fangzi ordered Lan Xiang to ask around carefully while she waited excitedly for a storm to engulf Sang Wan. Just from a glance, she could tell that Third Old Mistress Shi was intolerant and someone who would not suffer in silence. After yesterday’s anger-inducing incident, as well as all the things Third Old Mistress Shi had spilled to her, she did not believe that Third Old Mistress Shi would not take any actions today.

However, half a day went by and Lan Xiang returned without any news.

“Did you really went to ask around?” Gu Fangzi asked suspiciously, “Didn’t you say that Third Aunt went to visit Aunt Wang today morning? Did they only just sit down for a small talk?”

“This servant isn’t very sure too,” Lan Xiang was in a difficult situation and shook her head, “This servant did not dare to be too obvious when asking around in the main courtyard, but this servant feels that something must have happened.”

“Out with it!” Gu Fangzi’s excitement was aroused.

Lan Xiang did not want to say it at first, but seeing how her owner seemed to be suspicious of her, she could not help but spill whatever she could gather even though she was unsure in order to display her loyalty, “Just that, when this servant was trying to find out more, the servants there seemed to be stammering and hiding something. This servant thinks that something must’ve happened, just that—— this servant cannot be sure…”

“No need to say anymore!” Gu Fangzi’s face turned pale and her excitement sunk. Even though Lan Xiang did not understand, she had already understood.

Something definitely happened in the main courtyard and the servants were ordered to keep their lips sealed. Hehe, in the main courtyard, other than Aunt Wang, who else can make the servants seal their lips?

Aunt Wang, how dare she protect that vixen too!

Gu Fangzi was so upset and jealous that she almost went crazy. Sang Wan, that vixen! First she stole away Big Cousin, and now she went and stole Aunt Wang away!.

Turning her head, her hateful glare was fixed in the direction of the side room where Gu Jin’s tablet was placed. It was him, it was all because of him! When he was still alive, she had already suffered much humiliation, yet he was still blocking her from her happiness even now! Why was there such a father in this world!

“Missy, are you alright…” At one side, Lan Xiang saw Gu Fangzi’s twisted face and vicious glare, and became uneasy.

“Lan Xiang,” Gu Fangzi’s gazed hardened and she turned to stare coldly at the servant, “Don’t ever betray me, don’t ever betray me in your entire life. Otherwise, I will never let you off! You know my temper!”
