Chapter 294 - 148: A Visit or a Nuisance
"How can this be troublesome!" Mrs. Li said with a smile: "The young master has taken the initiative to return, and as his wife, it is proper for you to show your stance, isn’t it? I know you are reserved and may not speak your mind, but by bringing the young master’s clothes back, he will surely understand your intentions!"
Sang Wan was at a loss for words, thinking to herself how had it come to represent her intentions? Yet she couldn’t tell Mrs. Li, "You’ve misunderstood, this really wasn’t my intention!" Since Shi Fengju had today unconditionally helped her out and showed such earnest concern, if Sang Wan were to bring up past grievances, she would seem petty. She even felt slightly dazed, as if he truly cared about her.
She also realized that people like Shi Yumei are truly capricious and domineering to the extreme, indifferent to context and persons, solely driven by their own moods! To seriously quarrel with such a person would just be inviting frustration upon oneself!
Seeing Sang Wan remain silent, Mrs. Li resolutely decided on her own: "I will instruct them right away! Hehe, seeing you and the young master reconciled, I feel as if a great weight has lifted from my heart, and I’m truly relieved!"
Though maids like Xingzhi and Liu Ya didn’t verbalize it, the faint smiles on their faces all indicated their agreement. Sang Wan couldn’t help but chuckle to herself, thinking she had assumed that only she and Shi Fengju knew about the undercurrents between them, yet it seemed they all sensed it as well.
In fact, even if Mrs. Li hadn’t sent someone to the study for the clothes, Shi Fengju had planned to move back tonight. Now that Sang Wan was no longer angry, why should he stay alone in the study bleakly? Even if nothing else, it’s better to have someone to talk to, right?
Of course, hearing that someone from Ningyuan had come for his clothes made him even happier.
The next day, when Sang Wan went to pay respects to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang asked about Shi Lian, "I heard you got hit by a carriage yesterday? What happened?"
Shi Yumei was also present at the time and upon hearing these words, she glanced at Sang Wan with an imperceptible smirk.
Sang Wan was somewhat astonished; she had thought that Shi Yumei had already complained to Mrs. Wang and was waiting for her to question her, but Mrs. Wang seemed unaware—Sang Wan knew her mother-in-law was not the type to feign ignorance for the sake of entrapment.
