Chapter 277 - 139: She’s Deliberately Keeping Her Distance from Me_2
"No!" Mrs. Li declared firmly: "He let her go after barely exchanging a few words! I saw clearly that the young master’s heart is truly with you now. He no longer treats the distant cousin as he used to! The young master is wise. She is only a concubine now, how can she compare to you? The young master will never allow her to bully you!"
Sang Wan smiled noncommittally, "Mrs. Li, I understand your intentions! Don’t worry, as long as I am the wife of the Shi family, I will do my duty well!"
"This, this, the servant knows you are sensible..." Mrs. Li said with a busy smile, nodding, but still feeling something was off.
"Miss, let’s go, has this whole day’s effort been wasted now?" After leaving the study, Lan Xiang couldn’t help but ask softly.
"You talk too much!" Gu Fangzi, holding back a stomach full of anger with nowhere to vent, poked Lan Xiang’s forehead with a finger and glared, "What other option do we have but to leave? If we stayed, I fear I couldn’t help but start arguing with that damn old woman again, which would truly waste all efforts!"
Lan Xiang was stunned, a bit puzzled, thinking to herself, what has happened to the miss? Since when did she even fear Mrs. Li!
"Retreating as a way to advance, do you understand? Even if I explained, you wouldn’t get it!" Gu Fangzi said irritably, "Enough, let’s hurry back!"
She wanted to change her image, and had to seize the opportunities bit by bit, without any haste; otherwise, she would truly have no hope left.
Thinking of Mrs. Li’s astonished expression and her somewhat regretful look afterwards, Gu Fangzi felt invigorated, convinced her night’s grievances hadn’t been in vain. And the young master, his demeanor had also been very calm, not getting angry like he did during previous instances. Clearly, there was an effect!
Gu Fangzi suddenly stopped walking. "Tomorrow morning, get up early, and find out if the young master returned to Ningyuan to rest."
