Chapter 249 - Exposed (1/2)

Li Shi was very pleased when she heard that. Before Sang Pingliang could speak, she quickly nodded her head. “Yes, yes! This is a good idea! I haven’t seen Miss Gu in a long time. I also want to see her!”

Upon hearing that, Sang Pingliang, who had wanted to object, couldn’t say anything, let alone Hu San. However, he snorted in displeasure and said, “If you leave, no one else will be at home. Are you not worried leaving both Sang Rou and Sang Yan at home?”

When Li Shi heard her husband mention her precious daughter, she hesitated. However, after seeing the docile and delicate Yan Zhi at his side, her hesitation immediately vanished into thin air!

She couldn’t bear the thought of having to be an old housewife while the two of them led a merry life in the city! She definitely wouldn’t let such a thing happen. Moreover, everything was in the house. Her daughter was old enough, so was there still a need to worry about her?

She would tell her daughter later that if anything happened, she could seek Sang Hong and his wife for help. She didn’t believe that the two of them would be so cruel as to not even meet her daughter!

“They’re not children anymore. Why can’t they take care of themselves? If you’re worried, let Yan Zhi stay behind and take care of them. How about that?” Li Shi said while she rolled her eyes.

Yan Zhi was slightly swayed and didn’t object to it. Anywhere without Li Shi was like heaven to her. If she didn’t need to deal with the two of them, that would be even better!

“Not happening!” Sang Pingliang cut her off. Taking Li Shi along instead of Yan Zhi? That would not happen unless he was out of his mind! Didn’t he have enough of this old woman’s face? Would he still want to bring her along by his side? With Yan Zhi, he would at least be able to relieve his loneliness.

“Hurry up and pack your things. We’ll set off now!” When Sang Pingliang saw how persistent Li Shi was, he didn’t bother to say more.She could follow if she wanted, but if she dared to make a big fuss and be unreasonable towards him, he secretly had ways and time to deal with her!

“Don’t worry. I’ll be done very quickly!” Upon hearing that, Li Shi quickly went to pack her things happily before she called Sang Yan and Sang Rou to talk to them.

What she told Sang Yan was naturally to take good care of herself, not to suffer, close her door and sleep early, not to go out if there was nothing important, and so on. However, she did not speak to Sang Rou in a nice tone. She couldn’t speak to her without additional threats and scoldings. All she told her was not to skive off and be swift and diligent. Otherwise, she would deal with her when he returned!

Sang Rou lowered her head and eyes as she responded timidly, but she was bursting with joy deep down. Both of her parents wouldn’t be around while Sang Yan was passive. Wouldn’t she be in charge of the household then? She wouldn’t have to be so tired anymore, and she could eat better and wake up at a later time. She couldn’t wait for them to leave!

“Lass, if I come back and find that anything happened to Ah Yan, I’ll definitely break your legs!” After Li Shi said these vicious words, she picked up her bundle and dumped it on Yan Zhi without being polite. “Take good care of it!”

Yan Zhi didn’t dare to retort, so she hurriedly took it. Although Sang Pingliang was slightly displeased and frowned, he didn’t want any more delays during this crucial moment. He pretended that he hadn’t seen that and said to Hu San with a smile, “Brother Hu San, let’s go now!”

“Yes, of course!” Hu San responded before he hurriedly led them up to the carriage and they set off.

When Gu Fangzi saw that not only did Hu San bring Sang Pingliang over, but also Li Shi and his concubine, it was exactly what she wanted and she praised him without forgetting to reward the nervous Hu San. Thus, Hu San was delighted.

Gu Fangzi personally received the three of them with a smile. Just like what Yan Zhi had said, before Sang Pingliang could speak, Gu Fangzi took the initiative to order the servants to arrange three rooms with a common courtyard for them to stay near the warehouse.

Sang Pingliang and his wife were very grateful, and they went on to fawn over Gu Fangzi.

Li Shi had happily planned to go to the Shi household from time to time to have a chat with Gu Fangzi. However, Lan Xiang privately told her that it was not nice. If others saw that, they might think that Miss Gu was specially taking care of them. If they got jealous and schemed against them, it wouldn’t be worthwhile! She also added that the young master and young mistress of the household were not at home, so Gu Fangzi was the one in charge of the matters within and outside the household. How would she still have the time to meet her? In the future, she would naturally invite her over when she was free.

As such, Li Shi dropped the subject after hearing that.

Once Gu Fangzi settled them down, she went to see Wang Shi. She told Wang Shi that Sang Wan’s maternal uncle and aunt had come to find work. Since she was also short of manpower to guard the warehouse, she planned to arrange them there and asked Wang Shi whether it was fine. At that moment, Wang Shi was only thinking about her son, whose situation was not known to her yet. Therefore, would she still care about other things? She nodded her head and didn’t discuss it further. Gu Fangzi then went to arrange it.
