Chapter 276 - 139: She’s Deliberately Keeping Her Distance from Me
Mrs. Li said with a headache: "Today, I advised the elder mistress a few words, and although she smiled and spoke gently and calmly, showing no sign of pique, she understands the reasoning. However, I always feel something isn’t right! It just doesn’t sit well with me! Alas, I don’t even know how to express it!"
Shi Fengju’s heart sank: She still minds it!
"So you’ve noticed it too," Shi Fengju said with a resigned smile, "Wet nurse, do you think Miss Wan is different from before?"
"Indeed!" Mrs. Li said: "Although the elder mistress has been caring for you, young master, with the same concern as always, it seems, it seems like she is distancing herself from you, certainly different from before!"
"Yes, she intentionally wants to distance herself from me," Shi Fengju sighed, "She still resents me for not taking her side, no wonder she is upset. But after all, she is my older sister. She is always strong-willed and though unspoken, I know she feels somewhat at the mercy of others; it’s not easy for her. I can’t break her heart again, or else my mother would be upset as well. Some matters, we just have to turn a blind eye and muddle through, but this will inevitably put Miss Wan in a difficult position, and there’s nothing I can do about it!"
Mrs. Li suddenly saw the light, understanding partially, "Not only the elder mistress suffers, but you too, young master, are in a tough spot! The elder mistress is a sensible person, be assured, she will come to understand this matter! After all, life must go on, right? If she doesn’t and just keeps brooding, hurting herself, that would also be unbearable! But we can’t let the elder mistress lose face. Young master, you must also counsel the auntie, even if there’s a big issue, how can she point at the elder mistress and scold and hit her? If the servants see, how can the elder mistress hold her head up!"
"I neglected this matter, it won’t happen again!" thought Shi Fengju, Wasn’t this trouble enough already? Is there even a next time? Miss Wan probably won’t deal with me ever again! Shi Fengju’s expression paused slightly, and he felt troubled again, Life must go on? Can it really continue? She seems determined to leave this time, can I even keep her?
"Wet nurse, please take good care of Miss Wan, I will be back in a few days, I really have been busy these days, please assure her!" Shi Fengju steeled his heart, regardless, he was not going to let her go. After all, now that it’s out in the open, as long as he does not admit to any messy agreements, then they don’t exist!
