Mrs. Wang couldn’t help feeling repulsed when she brought up the matter, waving her hand and saying, "That won’t happen. I’ve decided on this matter. You go back and pack your bags and get ready to leave! Lan Xiang has also been dealt with, what else is there to be angry about? If he’s still angry, then his temper is indeed too big!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Fangzi felt secretly delighted, promptly stood up, and respectfully agreed. What does it matter if her cousin didn’t like her anymore? Since she had once made him devoted to her, as long as she had the opportunity to be by his side, she believed she still had ways to make him fall for her again! People’s feelings change, they can deteriorate, and naturally, they can also improve! It all depends on whether one puts in the effort and strategizes to win it!
She had lost once, but this ti, she was determined to learn from her past mistake!
"What is this girl’s na? Are you comfortable using her service?" Mrs. Wang asked, nodding her head.
Seizing the opportunity, Gu Fangzi replied with a smile, "She is sensible and obedient, and if possible, I would like to bring soone from my aunt’s side to Hangzhou with to provide more ticulous care for my cousin! And of course, when we return, I will return the person to my aunt!"
This suggestion coincidentally matched Mrs. Wang’s wishes perfectly, having a maid accompany her to look after her son was indeed the best scenario.
"Of course, you can!" Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Let Xiuchun go with you then! Don’t worry about returning her, if you like her, she can serve you in the future as well!"
Mrs. Wang was extrely kind to the maids and housekeepers around her, how could she easily give away those who she had been accustod to using for many years? She wouldn’t even easily give her own son the maids by her side, let alone soone else? Gu Fangzi knew her thoughts well, recognizing that those words were rely blurted out in the spur of the mont and not sincere. She would be a fool to agree!
Gu Fangzi quickly declined with a smile, "How could I dare to ask for soone by my aunt’s side? Each of them has been so exceptionally trained by my aunt, they would completely overshadow if I were to bring them back, I really cannot afford to!"
"You girl! Even daring to dislike the people I offer!" Mrs. Wang laughed heartily, feeling secretly relieved inside. Indeed, she had regretted her words as soon as she spoke them.
"You still haven’t told your aunt, what exactly is this girl’s na!" Mrs. Wang brought up the old topic again.
Gu Fangzi felt slightly embarrassed, then said with a sowhat forced smile, "It’s, it’s Lan Xiang..."
"Lan Xiang!" Mrs. Wang’s expression imdiately darkened, and after a mont, she asked, "Who gave her this na?" She already had a guess without needing an answer.
"It was said to be nad by my cousin," Gu Fangzi still looked sowhat embarrassed, hurriedly adding with a smile, "But it’s just a maid’s na, it doesn’t matter what it is!"
Mrs. Wang sighed, "Since you think so, it comforts my heart as well! Good child, you are sensible and know the bigger picture, not acting moody or temperantal over trivial things!"
"Whatever decisions my cousin makes, Fang’er always supports them." Gu Fangzi gently added.
Mrs. Wang sighed softly, nodding her head and waving her hand to dismiss her.
"Fengju too, such a grown man, yet behaving so inappropriately!" After Gu Fangzi left, Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but complain to Mrs. Jiang.
To send away one Lan Xiang and then bring in another Lan Xiang, audacious of him to do such things! This isn’t clearly just to provoke people!
Mrs. Jiang found it difficult to respond to this, barely managing a strained smile and stuttering responses. Mrs. Wang didn’t insist on a reply, but felt increasingly stifled, instructing Mrs. Jiang to summon Shi Fengju to see her as soon as he returns.
Shi Fengju returned to the mansion quite late into the night, and upon hearing that his mother was looking for him, he went to see her without even changing his clothes.
"You just got back? Why so late again!" Mrs. Wang first glanced at him, then said sowhat sourly, "Your wife isn’t in the mansion, and you don’t want to co back?"
Shi Fengju was sowhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What’s gotten into mom lately, why would she even bring Miss Wan into this?
"Isn’t it because I’m heading to Hangzhou in a few days? So I need to settle everything here properly, that’s why I stayed out a bit longer!" he explained to Mrs. Wang, "Mom, what’s bothering you lately? You used to not talk like this!"
Mrs. Wang was taken aback by his words, thinking to herself, well done, turning the tables! This phrase sounds so familiar, isn’t it what she used to say to her son? When did it beco his turn to say such things!
"Nonsense! Your mother is perfectly fine, I think you are the one not right! Have you decided which day you are leaving?" Mrs. Wang glared at him and asked.
Shi Fengju replied, "In a couple of days!" and then added with a smile, "I don’t know if there’s anything you want, Mom. I can bring it back for you!"
