Chapter 255: Chapter 128: Sang Wan’s Anger (Part 2) "No matter what, Mrs. Sang Wan has been wronged! Moreover, the attitude Mrs. Wang has towards Mrs. Sang Wan is a bit, a bit inappropriate. Originally, it shouldn’t have been like this, how strange! Ever since Mrs. Wang returned, Mrs. Sang Wan has been nothing but kind to her, never uttering a word of discontent, I have seen it all with my own eyes... How odd, truly odd!" Mrs. Li was utterly baffled. Yet, a glimmer of insight flashed in Shi Fengju’s mind, his gaze slightly narrowed. "Alright, wet nurse, rest assured, Miss Wan is my wife. No matter how others wrongly accuse her, I will believe in her and protect her. You return first and keep her company. I will not go there for now! I’m afraid seeing me might just anger her more." "Alright then, I’ll go now! You must come back early in the afternoon and coax Mrs. Sang Wan. She knows your difficulties and will surely not blame you!" Mrs. Li nodded her head and left. It suddenly occurred to Shi Fengju that Ren Zhixian and Sang Yufei came to mind. Sang Yufei succeeded in becoming Xie Yuan in his first attempt, whereas Ren Zhixian had taken the exam three times and failed each, a stark contrast. With his pedantic and arrogant nature, it would be strange if he did not feel uncomfortable! His older sister Shi Yumei, too, was competitive and protective, and already held prejudices against Miss Wan, wasn’t this just adding fuel to the fire? Shi Fengju couldn’t help but feel a massive headache. Miss Wan was innocent, and in truth, his older sister was quite pitiable, but it was he who was truly stuck in the most difficult position! When Mrs. Li returned to Ningyuan, she saw Hong Ye carrying a wooden box out. Recognizing it as the box Shi Fengju used for his account books, she asked where she was going. Hong Ye lowered her head and said softly, "Mrs. Sang Wan ordered this slave to deliver it to the young master’s study..." Mrs. Li’s eyes dimmed, realizing that Mrs. Sang Wan was truly upset this time! These past few days, the young master often brought some account books home for her to help with the calculations, sometimes working together in the small study here. They got along so well, but now that Mrs. Sang Wan was angry, she refused to touch these things anymore. "Go ahead! The young master is probably in the study now," Mrs. Li nodded. "Mrs. Sang Wan!" Mrs. Li entered and approached with a forced smile, only to see Sang Wan consoling Liu Ya. "Mrs. Li, you’re back!" Sang Wan said with a smile, "You must be tired too. There’s nothing much to do now, you can go and rest!" "The day is short and it’ll be dark soon. I’m fine, no need to rest! Perhaps you’d like to lie down for a while, Mrs. Sang Wan? I can call you when it’s time for dinner?" Mrs. Li suggested with a smile. Sang Wan smiled faintly, "I guess the day can pass just by sitting here!" Mrs. Li chatted and joked a bit with Sang Wan. She had actually intended to comfort and reassure her, but seeing Sang Wan looking normal without any trace of anger or grievance made it impossible for Mrs. Li to start the conversation. Mrs. Li inwardly praised Sang Wan for her forbearance and ease to please, but she quickly sensed something was amiss. Sang Wan treated the servants properly, yet she was clearly distant and dismissive towards Shi Fengju, giving him the cold shoulder. Usually, when Shi Fengju returned, the couple would always chat and joke, creating a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, but today, despite the same relaxed atmosphere, Sang Wan approached him as usual to help him remove his outer robe, change, and offer him a warm towel and tea, but everyone could feel the difference. Shi Fengju attempted to joke with her, but she only responded with a meek gaze and indifferent answers. She wasn’t outright ignoring him, nor was there any bickering, but it all felt awkward nevertheless. Shi Fengju, in the presence of servants, did not find it appropriate to act differently, yet he sighed internally. He had thought his young wife was someone without temper, but it seemed he was mistaken. After dinner, Shi Fengju forcibly took her to the warm pavilion, and everyone wisely retreated. "Miss Wan, are you really angry? You even had someone return the account books. I was counting on your help tomorrow to finalize the numbers for the staff; without your help, I don’t know how long I’ll be calculating tonight!" Shi Fengju said with a smile as he approached her. Sang Wan moved aside indifferently, "Business matters are not for me to interfere with. Please don’t put me in a difficult position in the future, young master. If one day someone finds out that I’ve been meddling in the Shi family’s affairs and comes knocking at the door, I don’t know if there will be any loyal slaves willing to take a slap for me!" Shi Fengju was stunned by her sharp words and momentarily speechless, but he also knew that his older sister was indeed capable of saying such things! Shi Fengju let out a sigh, "Miss Wan, can’t you trust me just this once? It really was an accident this time. Didn’t mother also speak up today? My older sister wouldn’t dare lay a hand on you again!" "What if she dares?" Sang Wan looked up and confronted Shi Fengju. She was tired of being harassed by Shi Yumei these days, and she was bored of it. This person was different from Gu Fangzi, who at least cared about appearances and didn’t dare act openly; as long as she remained vigilant, Gu Fangzi couldn’t easily scheme against her. But Shi Yumei was utterly reckless, insulting her to her face not just once or twice, and the worst part was that she couldn’t really do anything about it! Because Shi Yumei was the legitimate eldest miss of the Shi family, the apple of Mrs. Wang’s eye! Never had there been a case where the mother-in-law helps her daughter-in-law over her own daughter, especially when the daughter’s predicament was so sympathetic, and the daughter-in-law had everything – shouldn’t she be a little more generous, tolerant, and patient? "If she hits me again, will you help me retaliate? Or, if I fight back, will neither mother-in-law nor you reprimand me?" Sang Wan said with a cold laugh, "So what do you say? Speechless now, aren’t you?" Shi Fengju spoke earnestly, "I won’t let such a thing happen. I’ll order Mrs. Li and Xingzhi to be careful in serving you, to ensure no one touches you. If something like this happens again, I’ll send the couple back to Meng County. Will that satisfy you?" Sang Wan said coldly, "What difference does it make whether she assaults those around me or slaps my own face? You want to send them away? I’d rather you didn’t! In the end, it would seem like my idea, even if it isn’t, and I fear even mother would blame me!"
