Chapter 155 - 78 Filing a Complaint
Mrs. Li said with a smile, "Could it be that Miss Gu has forgotten the rules of the Shi family mansion? That ledger must be submitted to the outer courtyard for verification and record-keeping; how could it be returned so quickly? Miss Gu, rest assured, once the ledger is back, I will immediately send it over to you!"
Gu Fangzi was speechless for a while, her face turning red and then white. She couldn’t help feeling secretly angry, thinking to herself: I’ve been back home for quite a while now; how could I expect such low efficiency in your work? It’s already this time, and the ledger has not been returned yet!
"Does Miss Gu have any other doubts?" Mrs. Li asked again when she saw Gu Fangzi had nothing to say.
"No more!" Gu Fangzi had no choice but to put on a smile and apologize, saying, "It all seems to be a misunderstanding! It’s all my fault, these days I’ve been so distracted and disorganized, even my memory has become chaotic. Mrs. Li, please do not take offense! Auntie, it’s all Fang’er’s fault for causing you worry!"
Upon hearing the explanation of the incident, Mrs. Wang also felt a bit dissatisfied, but seeing Gu Fangzi’s self-blame and apology, she softened and said with a gentle smile, "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, it’s all good! I know you’ve been feeling upset recently; it’s inevitable to overlook certain things. How could I blame you? No one will blame you!"
Mrs. Li and Sang Wan both quickly agreed.
Sang Wan then said with a smile, "Mother is right, why has our sister become more courteous now that we are all family?"
"It’s all my fault! With Sister’s words, I am reassured!" Gu Fangzi said inwardly, while her face showed a very sweet smile.
Seeing the harmony between the two, Mrs. Wang was even more delighted, repeatedly saying how good it was, and then she reminded Gu Fangzi, "In the future, if you need anything, just go to Miss Wan. Miss Wan is meticulous and attentive in her affairs, and she never makes mistakes!"
Sang Wan quickly responded with humble remarks and then simply mentioned the task of distributing the gifts brought back by Shi Fengju, saying to Gu Fangzi with a smile, "Now that you don’t need things like rouge and cosmetics, or colorful fabrics and brocades, I’ve picked out some fine materials, jewelry, and ornaments and put them directly into the warehouse! In a few days, together with the ledger from the last time, I’ll hand them all to you. How about that?"
