Chapter 255 - 128: Sang Wan’s Anger (Part 2)
"No matter what, Mrs. Sang Wan has been wronged! Moreover, the attitude Mrs. Wang has towards Mrs. Sang Wan is a bit, a bit inappropriate. Originally, it shouldn’t have been like this, how strange! Ever since Mrs. Wang returned, Mrs. Sang Wan has been nothing but kind to her, never uttering a word of discontent, I have seen it all with my own eyes... How odd, truly odd!" Mrs. Li was utterly baffled.
Yet, a glimmer of insight flashed in Shi Fengju’s mind, his gaze slightly narrowed.
"Alright, wet nurse, rest assured, Miss Wan is my wife. No matter how others wrongly accuse her, I will believe in her and protect her. You return first and keep her company. I will not go there for now! I’m afraid seeing me might just anger her more."
"Alright then, I’ll go now! You must come back early in the afternoon and coax Mrs. Sang Wan. She knows your difficulties and will surely not blame you!" Mrs. Li nodded her head and left.
It suddenly occurred to Shi Fengju that Ren Zhixian and Sang Yufei came to mind. Sang Yufei succeeded in becoming Xie Yuan in his first attempt, whereas Ren Zhixian had taken the exam three times and failed each, a stark contrast. With his pedantic and arrogant nature, it would be strange if he did not feel uncomfortable! His older sister Shi Yumei, too, was competitive and protective, and already held prejudices against Miss Wan, wasn’t this just adding fuel to the fire?
Shi Fengju couldn’t help but feel a massive headache. Miss Wan was innocent, and in truth, his older sister was quite pitiable, but it was he who was truly stuck in the most difficult position!
When Mrs. Li returned to Ningyuan, she saw Hong Ye carrying a wooden box out. Recognizing it as the box Shi Fengju used for his account books, she asked where she was going.
Hong Ye lowered her head and said softly, "Mrs. Sang Wan ordered this slave to deliver it to the young master’s study..."
