Chapter 120 - 60 Everything Must Follow Rules_2
Sang Wan hurriedly said, "All I want is for my second brother to return safely. As for topping the examination list, there will always be opportunities!"
Unable to comprehend her feelings behind these words, Sang Yufei took it as consolation. He nodded, smiled, and assured her with a "Don’t worry!" before turning to leave.
After Sang Yufei left, Sang Wan’s heart remained tightly clenched, suspended in mid-air, her mind uncontrollably wandering. Only when she thought of the two servants accompanying him did she feel slightly relieved. It was not until three days later, when the servants returned to report that the uncle was safe in Hangzhou and had settled into an inn, that Sang Wan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Fangzi could not delay any longer. Reluctantly finishing the handover, she boarded the carriage with Lan Xiang and left the Shi Mansion.
Before departing, she could not help but turn back for a deep, lingering look at the Shi family’s impressive courtyard, its high walls and grand eaves giving her an unprecedented sense of solidity.
Soon, she would return! By then, this place would genuinely, completely, and utterly belong to her—Gu Fangzi!
Sang Wan also collected her emotions and familiarized herself with the household affairs while arranging for the peony garden to be refurbished and decorated, making preparations for the upcoming event.
In truth, Sang Wan didn’t need to worry about these matters, as Mrs. Li was already eagerly waiting to show Gu Fangzi a lesson with this task, Sang Wan thus willingly left everything to her care.
