Chapter 192 - 97: Wives and Concubines Should Never Be Mentioned Together
Mrs. Li was at a loss for words for a moment, then glanced at Xingzhi who was silently weeping beside her, thinking to herself that forced will can’t make things better, and a twisted melon is never sweet. Since Sang Wan is already upset, and Xingzhi herself is unwilling, it’d be better not to pursue this issue. Otherwise, it might cause more trouble in the future, which wouldn’t be good.
"So, how does Lady Sang Wan plan to handle this situation?" Mrs. Li then asked with a smile.
Sang Wan sighed softly and said, "That’s exactly why it’s difficult; that’s why I asked you, elder, to come—hoping to discuss and get some advice! No matter what, she’s my elder cousin by blood; I don’t want to sever our relationship over this issue, as it wouldn’t look good publicly and would be upsetting for both mother and the young master. But she has really gone too far this time, and Xingzhi is my right hand; I simply cannot let it go just like that!"
Just then, before Mrs. Li could speak, Shi Fengju lifted the curtain and entered, asking, "What happened? What’s wrong with my elder sister? What’s it got to do with Xingzhi?"
All three of them changed their expressions, and Xingzhi was so frightened that she nearly collapsed, thinking it’s all over! Worrying not only about herself falling into trouble but also implicating Lady Sang Wan!
Sang Wan was also startled, stunned and unable to collect herself, thinking how careless she had been, she should have had Liu Ya guard the door while they talked! She also didn’t know how much he had heard, hoping he wouldn’t think that she was plotting against his sister!
Mrs. Li opened her mouth but momentarily didn’t know how to respond, fearing that Shi Fengju might blame Sang Wan impulsively, she quickly put on a smile and said: "It’s perfect that the young master has arrived, it’s best if the young master decides on this issue! Lady Sang Wan, why don’t you discuss it thoroughly with the young master!"
One side is his sister, and the other is his wife; let the young master handle this headache! Mrs. Li said, giving a signal to Xingzhi and pulling her out, who was still partially paralyzed in shock.
It’s better to let the couple resolve their own matters.
Sang Wan also calmed down and smiled, "Something did occur, please have a seat, young master, and I’ll explain slowly."
