Chapter 147 - 74: An Outburst in Person
Seeing that Gu Fangzi didn’t seem to care about the matter, Mrs. Wang felt even more uneasy and said with a laugh, "You should go back to the peony garden first! I think your cousin is busy and doesn’t have the time! When he is free, he will come to see you!"
With these words from her, Gu Fangzi felt relieved and couldn’t help feeling smug. She smiled in acceptance and turned to leave.
"Mrs. Jiang, send someone to check on what Fengju is doing! If he’s not busy, ask him to come over!" As soon as Gu Fangzi left, Mrs. Wang immediately gave the order.
Gu Fangzi left the main courtyard with a triumphant air, strolling slowly back towards the peony garden, when she suddenly saw eleven or twelve servant women carrying several large wooden boxes nearly as tall as a person toward Ningyuan. She turned her head to look in the direction from which they came; it was indeed from Shi Fengju’s study.
Gu Fangzi stopped in her tracks, "Go find out what’s going on."
Lan Xiang hurriedly went to ask and soon came back to report to Gu Fangzi: "These are gifts the young master brought back from his trip on the ship, they are being carried to Ningyuan to be given to Grandma Shi..."
A block of resentment formed in Gu Fangzi’s heart, her eyes flickered, and she said indifferently, "Let’s go too, to Ningyuan, to pay respects to Grandma Shi!"
So, her cousin has changed his heart! In the past, whenever he returned, the first and best gifts were always for her, but this time, he did not mention it at all and instead was making such a spectacle by sending the gifts to Ningyuan! What bewitching tricks has Sang Wan used to nearly steal her cousin’s soul away!
"Miss, let’s, let’s go back instead..." Upon hearing this, Lan Xiang was startled and felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
Here she goes again! Anyone with clear sight can see the young master favors Grandma Shi, so why does the Miss insist on asking for trouble by butting in?
