Mrs. Zhou remarked, "It would be best to bring him back! After all, it has been a month, hopefully, it won’t all be in vain!"
"What are you saying! How would it benefit you if my son doesn’t co back!" Second Madam Shi snapped angrily.
"Second Aunt, Mrs. Zhou, don’t worry!" Shi Fengju hastily said: "Since my younger brother was seen in Dezhou, even if he has left, we can definitely find out where he went!"
"Fengju! Second Aunt is counting on you! Even if you have to, you must bring him back!" Second Madam Shi sobbed.
Shi Fengju and Mrs. Wang quickly tried to console her.
"My dear mother-in-law, now that we have news of my nephew, can we not talk about other things! Once the person is found, wouldn’t everything be resolved!" Mrs. Wang hurriedly said.
Mrs. Zhou, feeling very flustered at the mont and seeing Second Madam Shi couldn’t sit still, sighed, "Alright then, I’ll wait for your news! It’s getting late; we should take our leave!"
"You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can leave, but my daughter-in-law must stay!" Second Madam Shi hurriedly said.
"No way!" Mrs. Zhou said coldly: "I must take my daughter with , and once your son returns, let him co to fetch her himself!"
"It’s better to go back first!" Mrs. Wang then said: "Sister-in-law, Jingyi arrived here hastily today and her ho is not prepared either; let her go back with her mother-in-law for a few days. When Fengming returns, she will naturally co back as well!"
Second Madam Shi snorted, "Since elder sister has spoken, what can I say!" Speaking indifferently, she stood up and said, "I’m a bit tired, big sister, I will go back first! Fengju, co with your Second Aunt, she has a few questions for you!"
Shi Fengju glanced at Mrs. Wang, bid farewell to Mrs. Zhou, and followed Second Madam Shi.
Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Zhou’s expression change and about to explode, she quickly smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is just a bit impulsive, she must be eager to go back and talk to her own Master about this! The poor couple has been in suspense for two years, but finally, there’s so news, let them rejoice! My dear mother-in-law, please don’t take it to heart! Why not stay at our mansion for the night and leave tomorrow, there’s no rush!"
Mrs. Zhou’s expression eased slightly, she shook her head and said, "No need, I see that your mansion is also busy! Us staying would only add to the chaos! Hopefully, we can find the son-in-law soon, so I can rest easy!"
"Exactly that! You’re absolutely right, Madam!" Mrs. Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Mrs. Zhou say they wouldn’t stay; handling such an important person was quite exhausting for her.
Mrs. Jiang seeing the situation, went into the warm pavilion and called Sang Wan and the other two ladies; the three ca out, bade farewell, and Mrs. Wang escorted them to the entrance of the main courtyard, with Sang Wan personally escorting them to the second gate.
Just before boarding the carriage, Mrs. Zhou smiled at Sang Wan, "When my Jingyi returns in the future, I hope Grandma Shi will take good care of her! I thank you in advance on her behalf!"
Sang Wan stepped aside and chuckled in response, "My dear aunt, you are too kind. Jingyi is my sister-in-law, and we get along quite well on normal days; there is really no need for the word ’take care’!"
Mrs. Zhou sighed, "My daughter, apart from being kind-hearted, truly lacks skills in everything else, sigh! Grandma Shi, you must give her so guidance in the future. I’m speaking sincerely; if she could be half as good as you, she wouldn’t be in this situation..."
"Mother! What are you talking about! Let’s go quickly! Big sister, you go ahead with your own matters; no need to bother about us!" Zhou Jingyi was very embarrassed.
When Sang Wan first entered, she wasn’t favored by Shi Fengju either, sothing Zhou Jingyi had seen with her own eyes. Later, she heard that they got along very well, and although curious and perplexed, her mother questioning in this manner face-to-face was making Sang Wan uncomfortable, wasn’t it?
Mrs. Zhou also felt it was a bit inappropriate, but as a mother, her heart was full of her daughter and couldn’t care about appropriateness; she hurriedly laughed apologetically: "Grandma Shi, if I said anything wrong, please don’t take it to heart! I’m just worried about my daughter, sigh!"
Sang Wan forced a smile, "Aunt, you worry too much, Jingyi and I are sisters-in-law, and our relationship will naturally grow closer. Jingyi is great, I believe when young master returns, he will surely see her good qualities!"
"Hehe, then I borrow your auspicious words!" Mrs. Zhou smiled, and with her daughter’s urging, finally boarded the carriage and left the Shi Mansion.
Sang Wan, with a heavy heart, walked back and reported to Mrs. Wang that she had seen the Zhou mother and daughter off, then returned to Ningyuan.
She originally thought that after Shi Fengju went to the second house, he would usually drop by to see her before leaving the mansion, but he didn’t. In the evening, Chang Huan brought a ssage saying that the young master had been busy today and might only return late. Please have Grandma Shi dine on her own without waiting for him.
