Chapter 256 - 129: Persuading Eldest Sister
Shi Fengju laughed, "This won’t do, that won’t do, so tell me, how do you expect me to handle this?"
Sang Wan was momentarily at a loss for words. Because, she too didn’t know what should be done! This Shi Yumei was just like tofu that had fallen in ashes –- too fragile to withstand any handling!
Shi Fengju sighed softly, his hand lightly resting on Sang Wan’s shoulder, to which she twisted away, but he wasn’t annoyed and continued, "My elder sister is actually not a bad person at heart; she’s just stubborn, straightforward to a fault, speaks without restraint, and doesn’t care whether others can handle it or not, let alone saving someone’s face.

Though, I believe in my second brother’s character, I don’t need to ask you to know the truth! My question to you is, if we were in the wrong, would your elder sister have just let it go as well?"
"Miss Wan!" Shi Fengju looked at her seriously and said, "As the Shi family’s eldest daughter-in-law, it’s inevitable that you’ll have to endure some grievances, there are some things—"
