Chapter 312
"Eh?" Sang Wan suddenly asked curiously, "Young Master Zhuang — — why is he involved in this matter? Why would he — "Why would he investigate this matter?
Shi Fengju's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but chuckle. He smiled at Sang Wan and said, "I've been so happy these days that I forgot to tell you about this matter. I'm afraid that you won't be able to keep your servant girl!"
"You, what do you want to do?" Sang Wan opened her eyes wide in alarm.
Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of Liu Ya? In the past, she wouldn't allow it, much less now.
"What are you thinking about!" Shi Fengju couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this. He said, "I only need you. In the past, I didn't have any ideas about that girl, and now I won't!"
"Why don't you finish your words in one breath? You only know how to scare people!" Sang Wan smiled and felt relieved, but her curiosity was piqued. "But what does that lass Liu Ya have to do with Young Master Zhuang meddling in this matter?"
Shi Fengju smiled and said, "Isn't it because of that girl Liu Ya that Young Master Zhuang interfered in this matter? I told you before that he saved Liu Ya. Do you remember? "
"Of course I remember!" Sang Wan nodded and sighed. "He helped a lot in this matter. Now that I've returned safely, please thank him on my behalf!"
"You don't need to thank him," Shi Fengju said with a smile. "He should thank you instead! I don't know what's going on between him and Liu Ya. In short, hehe, I can see that he really likes that girl! Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to help me investigate this matter. "
Ever since Zhuang Weixian saved Liu Ya that day, he sent the shopkeeper away to handle some matters while he brought a few trusted aides to stay in White River Town to help out. Even the suspicious point about the ferryman was discovered by Zhuang Weixian first before he went to investigate. Who knew what had happened between him and Liu Ya during this period of time? In short, things were different from before.
Sang Wan, on the other hand, seemed to be in a difficult position. Her beautiful eyebrows knitted slightly. After a moment, she said, "I'm very grateful to him for this matter. I also owe him a favor. However, Liu Ya and I are as close as sisters. I can't possibly give Liu Ya to him just because I want to repay Young Master Zhuang, right? Liu Ya is now Nanny's goddaughter. Fengju, don't agree to anything! "
Young Master Zhuang would naturally marry a lady from a prestigious family in the future. In addition, Old Mistress Zhuang had always been at odds with her mother-in-law. She might not be pleased with Liu Ya who came from the Shi family. Moreover, Liu Ya had seriously told her that she would never be a concubine. How could she sacrifice her just to return a favor?
"I know!" Shi Fengju smiled. "What if Liu Ya is willing? You don't have anything to say, do you? "
"Impossible!" Sang Wan suddenly became alert and said, "Liu Ya won't agree to it! Unless you use some means to force her to agree! "
Sang Wan believed that such means were nothing to Shi Fengju.
"Wan Niang!" Shi Fengju heard her speak without the slightest trace of politeness. He didn't know whether to be proud that she thought so highly of him or to be angry that she thought so highly of him. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What kind of person do you think I am!" Shi Fengju smiled and said, "Don't tell me you didn't notice that Liu Ya has been running out of the residence from time to time these days."
Their luck wasn't too good. He even saw it once …
Sang Wan was suddenly stunned. It seemed that what he said was true.
"Wan Niang," Shi Fengju smiled and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with me. It's their own matter. You should find an opportunity to call that girl over and ask her. Won't you know everything? You're her master. She wouldn't dare to hide anything from you! "
Sang Wan sighed and said, "I have to find an opportunity to ask her. That girl, why didn't she say anything … "Although Sang Wan was worried that Liu Ya would have a hard time in the future if she really followed Zhuang Weixian, everyone had their own ambitions. If she insisted, all she could do was to help her. In the future, she would protect her as much as she could. That was all she could do!
"This matter isn't urgent. Ask her after the New Year! That girl isn't stupid. Don't worry too much! "Shi Fengju comforted her again.
Sang Wan was at ease about this. Liu Ya wasn't a person who fawned over those in power. Moreover, she had Mama Li as her godmother, who emphasized rules the most. She wouldn't do anything stupid! Now that the New Year was over and the New Year was coming, this matter wasn't urgent at the moment.
Shi Fengju didn't go out in the afternoon. He stayed in the room with Sang Wan and waited for Mama Li's news. In the evening, Mama Li finally came to report.
Seeing her come in, Shi Fengju's face turned cold, "How is it?"
Mama Li nodded and sighed, "Everything is as you expected. We have a witness!"
Shi Fengju nodded and stood up, "Take some people and go to my mother's place! We'll have dinner after this matter is settled. Don't make people uncomfortable! "
"Yes …" Mama Li saw that his face was full of anger and didn't dare to oppose.
"Wan Niang, don't go! Wait for me here! "Shi Fengju said to Sang Wan.
Sang Wan nodded, "Take your time. Don't make it too difficult for mother."
"Don't worry!" Shi Fengju nodded.
In fact, there was no need to say anything more about this matter. Mama Li pried open the mouth of the servant in the kitchen who was bribed by Gu Fangzi. She was very cunning. She didn't even handle a servant in Peony Park, but she did it herself. The old maid in the kitchen was also a talkative person. It was natural for her to spread the rumor. If it weren't for Mammy Li, who was shrewd, it would be impossible for her to find out the truth so quickly.
The confession of the teacher in Plum Blossom Nunnery and the person who was caught by Shi Fengju was certain. Shi Fengju only needed to tell Wang the process. He didn't need to worry that she wouldn't believe him.
After hearing that, Wang Shi did not believe it at all. She was dumbfounded. She didn't dare to believe it and didn't want to believe it.
"Fang 'er is such a good person. How could it be? How could she do such a thing? She, she has always respected Wan Niang! After Wan Niang got into trouble, she must have been very sad! "
"Mother! Do you think I would make such a joke? " Shi Fengju said faintly, "The old nun in Plum Blossom Nunnery is still in prison. If Mother wants to ask her face to face, it won't be difficult! As for the boatman at the ferry and the hooligan on the street, do you really want to ask them personally? "
Wang shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I naturally shouldn't doubt your words! No matter what, you and Fang 'er grew up together. Even if you don't like her, I believe you wouldn't accuse her like that … "
"It's good that you know!" Shi Fengju let out a long sigh, "I can't keep her in the household. I don't know what she will do next!"
Wang's heart trembled. She looked at her son for a moment and nodded gently. But she couldn't bear to say, "Fang 'er shouldn't have done such a thing, but she did it because she likes you! Fengju, give her some face and don't make this matter public, okay? Also, it's going to be the new year in a few days. After the new year — — "
"Mother!" Shi Fengju said coldly, "It's fine if this matter isn't made public, but I can't wait until after the new year! She must leave early tomorrow morning! If I see her again, I don't know what I will do! "
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, and he would have lost his wife completely. He would have been in so much pain that he wished he was dead. He would have felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and he would have caused his wife to suffer! Keeping her here was definitely not an option.
Wang opened her mouth and sighed, "Fine! It's the same whether she leaves early or late. There are benefits to leaving early! Nanny Jiang, go invite Miss Gu over! I have a few words to say to her! Ai, why is this child so muddle-headed! "
Muddle-Headed? This wasn't muddle-headed, this was vicious! Shi Fengju turned his face away and didn't say a word.
Gu Fangzi didn't know what was going on and walked in briskly as usual. Before she even lifted the curtains, she called out "Aunt Wang" with a smile and walked into the warm room.
When she saw that Shi Fengju was also present, Gu Fangzi was secretly delighted. She thought that her aunt and cousin were discussing her matters, and her eyes unconsciously lit up.
When Wang heard her cheerful "Aunt Wang", she felt a stab of pain in her heart. She couldn't bear it and stared at her for a while before nodding and sighing, "You're here. Sit down!"
"En, Aunt Wang!" Gu Fangzi maintained her elegant posture and smiled reservedly. She glanced at Shi Fengju and bowed to him, "Big Cousin!"
Shi Fengju didn't have any expression on his face and turned a deaf ear to her greeting. He didn't hear her at all and didn't even look at her.
Gu Fangzi smiled and sat down reservedly. It wasn't the first day that he treated her like this. She knew that he had a deep misunderstanding, so of course, she wouldn't argue with him. She believed that after a long time, she believed that with her patience and hard work, he would change one day. Then, they would return to their previous intimacy.
Wang looked at the elegant, delicate, slender, and sweet young girl in front of her and her heart was in a daze. If her son hadn't said what he said, she wouldn't have believed that her heart was so vicious! She had schemed against someone's life and still smiled so sweetly in front of her as if nothing had happened.
Wang couldn't help but shiver.
She suddenly felt that she was really old. The more she couldn't understand her son, the more she couldn't understand this niece who had grown up by her side!
"Fang 'er, your cousin-in-law is pregnant and has just come back with such grievances. Her body is still weak, so we can't agitate her anymore. The matter between you and your big cousin — —"
"Mother!" Shi Fengju interrupted her, "Don't say that. Don't push everything to Wan Niang. Otherwise, Wan Niang will be blamed by others and do something evil behind her back! If you feel embarrassed, I'll say it. Gu Fangzi, go back and pack up. Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone send you out of the household to a village outside the city to stay temporarily. When you've thought it through and are willing to get married, let me know and the household will arrange it for you. If you don't want to, you can stay there for the rest of your life! Don't ever step into the Shi household again! If I find out, you don't need to stay in the village anymore. Just go back to your home! "
Gu Fangzi suddenly raised her head and her heart was shaken.
She widened her eyes and stared at Shi Fengju in disbelief. Then, she turned her head and stared at Wang. Seeing that her aunt, who had always been on her side, didn't say anything, it was obvious that she had no objections to her big cousin's arrangement. Her face turned snow-white in an instant.
