Chapter 191 - Seen By Mother-in-law (2/2)
“Hmph!” Wang Shi shook their hands away, repulsed, and said, “Why are you still following me? Go back now!”
“Mother, we will walk you back first! Don’t be angry anymore, it isn’t good to spoil your health at the beginning of the new year!” Shi Fengju quickly forced a smile.
“En, Mother…” Sang Wan forced an unnatural smile on her face.
“Hmph!” Wang Shi sneered and said, “Enough! You can stop pretending in front of me! I’m sure you must be secretly complaining about me deep inside your heart! Don’t think that I don’t know!”
“Mother!”
“This daughter-in-law wouldn’t dare!”
Shi Fengju and Sang Wan hurriedly denied. Even though Wang Shi was mad at them, Shi Fengju still held her forcefully while Sang Wan took a lantern from Xiu Chun to light the way ahead as she was not Wang Shi’s daughter.
Wang Shi kept a straight face without saying another word regardless what Shi Fengju spoke.
After they had arrived at the main courtyard, Wang Shi looked at both of them coldly and said, “Alright, stop being an eyesore here and go back now!” That was enough of a show!
“There’s no rush, “Shi Fengju quickly laughed, “We’ll go back once Mother goes to rest. Mother, where did you return from at such a late hour?” As he spoke, he helped Wang Shi into her room. Sang Wan quickly passed the lantern back to Xiu Chun and went forward to help Wang Shi take off her coat.
Seeing that both of them were trying to please her, her anger gradually disappeared. She couldn’t help but sigh when Shi Fengju asked, “Where else would I be other than Jiao Garden? Your big sister was fine before, so how did she fall ill! Ah, all I do as a mother is worry about all of you, when will I get to live my life peacefully!”
“The weather has been cold these past few days, it’s hard not to catch a cold. Mother, don’t worry, Big Sister will be alright.” Shi Fengju quickly smiled and comforted her before asking if a doctor had come to see her.
Wang Shi nodded and said, “The doctor has given her some medicine to take. I only left her side after seeing her take her medicine! From the way I see it, she isn’t simply ill, and when I asked her, she didn’t want to tell me. Hmph, help me ask about it later and see if your big brother-in-law has done something again!”
Shi Fengju nodded his head, “I understand, Mother. This is our home, if Big Brother-in-law ever dares to do anything to Big Sister, I will definitely not let him off!”
Wang Shi frowned and said, “We can’t get too involved since their matters are between them as a couple. Otherwise, it’ll be your sister who suffers!”
“Enough, enough, let’s not talk about it anymore!” Wang Shi waved irritably and said, “I’m going to bed now, so go back quickly! Stop being an eyesore here!”
Shi Fengju laughed, “Then we’ll come back again tomorrow to greet Mother. We’ll be leaving now!”
Wang Shi snorted and looked coldly at Sang Wan, “How are you feeling now? Can you still walk? Do you need me to get you some hangover soup?”
Sang Wan was feeling extremely embarrassed and she hurriedly forced a smile, “Your daughter-in-law… I can walk by myself, I wouldn’t dare to let Mother worry for me…”
Wang Shi let out another snort without saying another word. Shi Fengju and Sang Wan said their goodbyes and left.
Once they were out of the main courtyard, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. Shi Fengju quickly held Sang Wan’s hands and said regretfully, “Sang Wan, it was all my fault!”
You still have the cheek to say! Sang Wan rolled her eyes at him. However, he did only do so out of kindness, and it was her bad luck to blame as well. Thinking about it, Sang Wan let out a bitter smile and sighed, “I can’t blame it all on you, my luck was bad as well!”
Sang Wan secretly anticipated that she might not be able to enjoy any peace for the next few days. No matter what, she should still serve her mother-in-law tamely until her anger finally subsided.
Shi Fengju quickly smiled and comforted her with a hug, “Don’t take it to heart. If Mother vents her anger on you, once we are back to Ning Garden, I won’t get frustrated at you no matter how much you were to get angry at me!”
“Let go of your hands!” Sang Wan pushed his hands that were around her and said, “Am I such an unreasonable person to you? Why would I make trouble for you out of nothing?”
Shi Fengju laughed, “Yes, yes, my wife is the most virtuous! In any case, it was my fault for causing you trouble! Don’t worry, I will be more careful in the future. “
Sang Wan looked at him and didn’t make a sound. Only that she could feel her blood freezing at the thought of what was to come the next day.
The more Wang Shi thought about it, the enraged she was. Just when she was about to take a sip from her cup, she suddenly slammed it onto the tea table and snorted angrily, “Nanny Jiang, what do you say? Was I too kind as a mother-in-law and spoiled her?”
Nanny Jiang panicked and forced a smile, “Old Mistress, your temper has always been good, and everyone in the household knows! Young Mistress always displays her fullest courtesy towards you and has never made any decisions by herself. Knowing full well about that, surely she isn’t unruly!”
“Are you speaking for her?” Wang Shi kept feeling sour whenever she recalled the scene, and she said, “You’ve seen it tonight! That was her husband! Did she not know that she should always obey her husband as a wife? How.. .how could she torment my son like that? Hmph, she even dared to do that in front of me, who knows what else my son has been suffering behind my back! That child is also another good for nothing. How can he allow his wife to climb over his head?”
The rage in Wang Shi kept burning. That was her son whom she had loved wholeheartedly and been proud of since young. She could never have the heart to let her son suffer and did her best to not inconvenience him. But look at what happened, he actually carried his wife on the long path home on such a late night! If she had not bumped into them, he might have carried her all the way back to Ning Garden!
Whatever next! The son whom she had taken care of wholeheartedly was not to be a drudge for another woman.
