Chapter 243 - 122: Getting Agitated Over This Topic
Sang Wan thought for a moment and smiled, "I don’t seem to really have any specialty dishes, so I’ll just make what the young master likes! But I can’t match the skills of the kitchen staff, don’t be too critical!"
The two chatted and laughed along the way, and the carriage was fast and light. It didn’t take long before they arrived at the Shi Mansion.
As the carriage entered through the second gate, Shi Fengju was the first to alight and naturally reached out to help Sang Wan. Sang Wan hesitated for a moment, but also naturally placed her hand on his and alighted from the carriage with his assistance.
"Let’s go back to change and wash up first, and later we will go to greet mother."
Just as Shi Fengju finished speaking, Sang Wan smiled and nodded, about to reply when she saw Gu Fangzi in plain clothes already approaching with a graceful bow and a smile, "Cousin! Sister! You’re back!"
The smile on Sang Wan’s lips momentarily stiffened, and the buoyant mood seemed to be covered by a shadow, as she smiled and nodded at her, "What brings you here, sister?"
With affectionate eyes, Gu Fangzi glanced at Shi Fengju, then stepped forward to actively support Sang Wan’s arm and softly said with a smile, "Hearing that cousin and sister were coming back, I specially came to meet you! Is everything well at your home, sister? Aunt has been missing you a lot these days!"
"We are going to greet mother soon, if there’s nothing else, you may go back first!" Shi Fengju frowned slightly. For some reason, the once charming and pitiable demeanor he used to see now seemed displeasing no matter how he looked, as if a layer of falseness had covered her face.
"Then I won’t disturb cousin and sister anymore!" Gu Fangzi said with a compliant smile before turning to leave.
Shi Fengju and Sang Wan walked on without a word. What has always existed continues to exist; temporarily avoiding it does not mean it disappears! A bitter taste slowly rose in Sang Wan’s mouth.
Upon returning to Ningyuan, after they freshened up, they went to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang, seeing their return, cheerfully asked non-stop, and hearing from Shi Fengju and Sang Wan about the lively events only increased her joy, she couldn’t help exclaiming, "I don’t know if our Fenghua will pass the next rural examination, it would be great if he did!"
