Chapter 245 (2/2)

“You’re right!” Wang Shi nodded and smiled before instructing Shi Fengju and Sang Wan to send them off properly . Before letting Sang Yufei and Shi Lian go, she reminded them again to make a trip over before leaving for the capital . Afterwhich, the two sides bid farewell .

Taking advantage of the opportunity to send them off, Sang Wan quietly glanced at Sang Yufei . She signalled him to go to a quiet corner so that they could speak a few words . Sang Wan then asked about Second Uncle Sang and Second Aunt Sang leaving home .

With a slight frown, Sang Yufei answered, “I also find it a little weird! I heard from Big Sister-in-law that someone came to their door . Then on the next day, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, together with the new concubine, happily followed that person . Someone in the village did ask when he saw them . Second Uncle only said that he was going to make a fortune before he was interrupted as soon as he spoke by the person who went to pick them up . No one really knows where they went . ”

Sang Wan thought to herself: Make a fortune? It was no wonder that Second Uncle Sang and Second Aunt Sang were persuaded . Would they be so easily deceived? They followed the stranger so happily, surely there must be a reason for them to believe so . Just who could it be?

“They have nothing to do with us, and they aren’t children anymore . Since they could trust that stranger, they must have their reason to do so . What’s there for us to worry about! Look at how thin you are now . Now that Brother-in-law has returned safe and sound, you have to take care of yourself . Don’t tire yourself too much! If you have any problems, let me know . Don’t treat me like a stranger . ” Sang Yufei said as he smiled gently at her .

He couldn’t protect her well before . Now that he had become successful, he would do everything in his power for her without hesitation if she needed him to . In those days without their parents, the two of them had lodged under their Big Brother and sister-in-law’s roof, and they truly commiserate with each other . As their big brother and sister-in-law were relatives, they were not obligated to raise or care for them . With that in mind, he studied his hardest, and she remained humble, so as not to bring any trouble . Speaking of closeness, the two siblings were indeed the closest .

Sang Wan’s heart was moved and she nodded with a smile, “Second Brother, don’t worry . I won’t be polite if I need to trouble you! Still, I only hope that you and your wife will live in harmony!”

Sang Yufei couldn’t help but look at her gently as he spoke, “You and your husband must also be well! When there is news about your tummy, don’t forget to send a letter to tell me and let me be happy for you . ”

“Second Brother!” Sang Wan blushed and smiled as she lowered eyes .

Sang Yufei didn’t mention it again when he saw her tender smile . Once the carriage was ready and Shi Lian got on the carriage, the two parties said goodbye to one another .

After the carriage had left her eyes, Sang Wan went on to stare ahead before letting out a soft sigh . She felt at a loss .

A low chuckle could suddenly be heard from beside her . She turned her head to look at the man who was by her side .

“We should go back too! This huge event has finally ended successfully . You’ve been working tirelessly these days, so have a good rest!” When Shi Fengju looked at her little face, he was heartbroken . First, she had to take care of him because of his injury, and then she had to arrange for this huge event immediately after returning . During the past few days, she had often slept late at night . When she went to bed, she fell asleep on her pillow almost immediately and he could not bear to turn over for fear that one slight movement would wake her up .

Sang Wan smiled at him . “You are also exhausted these few days! Since your business is not urgent, let the ones in charge handle it! Mother has constantly reminded me to serve you well!”

Shi Fengju smiled . He went close to her ear and whispered something which caused Sang Wan to laugh, but she refrained from saying more . “Let’s go back!” Sang Wan said with a smile and they then went back together .

The two of them first went to report to Wang Shi before returning to Ning Garden1 .

After entering the warm room, Shi Fengju gestured to the servants not to follow them in, and before Sang Wan could respond, he lifted her up .

“What… are you doing!” Shocked, Sang Wan nearly shrieked .

“What else other than carrying you?” Shi Fengju said with a smile: “You are tired, so have a good rest . I will serve you today . You don’t have to worry about anything!” Then, he walked to the side of the bed and placed Sang Wan down . He squatted down and gently removed her shoes before he helped her to lie down . “Take a rest first . ” Shi Fengju said .

Upon seeing him in high spirits, Sang Wan didn’t want to spoil his mood . Therefore, she remained lying as was told and pulled the thin blanket over her chest .

After she closed her eyes comfortably, Shi Fengju smiled and nudged her again . “Hey, move inside a little and give me some space . I will lie down with you . ”

Sang Wan could only move in, but not without complaining, “Here you told me to have a good rest, yet you’re being so noisy . ”

“I’m just accompanying you . How is that being noisy?” Shi Fengju smiled before pulling the blanket over his body . He faced her sideways with his arms stretched around her waist and holding her in his embrace . “Just go to sleep! I told them not to disturb us . If there is anything, Nanny Li will handle it . ”

Sang Wan answered vaguely and pushed herself deeper into his embrace . Wrapped within his familiar scent, she soon fell into a deep sleep .

When Sang Wan woke up again, the light in the room had become dimmer .

Shocked, she freed herself and got up as she exclaimed, “Look at the time!”
