Chapter 302 - 152: Third Master and Third Mistress Arrive at the Gate
Shi Fengju noticed her furrowed brows and slightly dazed expression and knew what was on her mind, comforting her with a smile: "Don’t worry, we just need to do our part. After all, they belong to the third house, and they have Third Uncle and Third Aunt to guide them!"
Sang Wan suddenly saw the light, and thought the same thing. Though they were one family, there were still distinctions of closeness. If they were truly troublesome, it wouldn’t make sense for them to make a fuss with her, and if they did, she could excuse herself.
"Is our fourth sister only ten years old this year? Then, wasn’t she only two when she went to Sichuan with them?" Sang Wan asked in surprise. Considering the notoriously difficult road to Sichuan, and the distance so great, it was incredible to Sang Wan that the couple from third house ventured so far with such a young child.
"Exactly! Not just the fourth sister, even the second sister was only seven or eight years old back then, not as old as Shi Rui is now! Originally, Third Uncle wanted Third Aunt to stay in the mansion with the children, but Third Aunt insisted on taking the two sisters with her, and Third Uncle couldn’t persuade her otherwise, so he had no choice but to go along with her!" Shi Fengju said with a laugh.
Sang Wan nodded. Third Aunt must also be worried that being far away might lead Third Uncle to ... be less than faithful, she mused. A woman of ideas and resolution indeed!
"Young master! Madam!" While they were talking, Chang Huan suddenly ran over breathlessly. "Young master, madam, the family of Third Master have returned!"
"What are you panicking for!" Shi Fengju rebuked in irritation: "We already know, go back! Wait, the able Hou is in the outer courtyard. There might still be things for you to handle, don’t run around everywhere!"
"No, it’s..." Chang Huan hastily explained: "The family of Third Master Shi, they’re already at the mansion gates, walking in!"
"What!" Shi Fengju and Sang Wan both changed countenance.
"They’ve already entered the mansion at this time?" Sang Wan was incredulous.
"Yes! Madam!" Chang Huan hurriedly said: "Mrs. Wang and Miss Shi have already gone over, they sent me to ask you both to hurry over!"
Sang Wan looked at Shi Fengju.
