Chapter 96 - 48 You Are My Daughter, Gu Jin - Part 2
"Thank you for being so thoughtful!" Shi Fengju said with a smile as he accepted it.
Sang Wan smiled slightly and shook her head, "There’s no need for such words between us."
Shi Fengju nodded and hummed, thinking for a moment before finally saying, "I might not be able to return until the 15th of August. During these three months while I’m away, take good care of yourself. If anything happens, discuss it with Mrs. Li; she knows everything. Also, please take care of my mother! If you suffer any grievances," Shi Fengju looked at her, "just endure it, and we’ll talk when I return."
Sang Wan thought to herself: I thought you were unaware, but it turns out you do know! Who knows what your cousin will do when you’re not around!
"Alright, then I’ll wait for you to return to make decisions on my behalf," Sang Wan said with a laugh.
Shi Fengju couldn’t help but smile as well.
The next day, the whole family had a meal together, and Second Grandma Shi hadn’t visited Sang Wan for some days; it was said that she was slightly ill, but they still exchanged pleasantries upon meeting.
On the morning of the eighth day of the fifth month, Mrs. Wang, accompanied by Shi Fengju, Sang Wan, and Gu Fangzi, offered incense and kowtowed to the ancestral tablets, and then presented dishes like whole chicken, whole fish, and squared pork as offerings, praying for Shi Fengju’s safe travel. They then entered the Buddhist temple to offer more incense and scattered water-rice, mumbling prayers briefly before Mrs. Wang took Shi Fengju by the hand to see him off from the mansion.
