Chapter 314
Shi Fengju remained silent. Speaking of this matter, Shi Fengju's contribution was not small. If it weren't for Shi Fengju's constant protection, she would have been taught a lesson and wouldn't have ended up in this situation. She caused Wan Niang to end up in this state, yet Shi Fengju let her off so easily. I've already let Wan Niang down! Shi Fengju hoped that Shi Fengju's shadow would no longer appear in the Shi family's life from now on. Otherwise, the last trace of affection would be gone!
"Mother, the child in Wan Niang's belly is indeed mine. I am well aware of this. I hope that Mother won't have any prejudice against Wan Niang because of this. She and I don't care about other people's opinions, but you are my mother. The child in her belly is your biological grandson, "Shi Fengju said seriously.
Wang nodded and smiled, "Since you've already said so, how can Mother not believe you? Besides, Wan Niang doesn't seem like that kind of person! If anyone dares to say such baseless things in the household again, I won't let them off easily! "
"Mother, it's good that you think so!" Shi Fengju smiled, bowed, and retreated.
Shi Fengju had been gone for a long time. Seeing that the night had darkened, Sang Wan gradually began to feel uneasy. Finally, he was back. She let out a sigh of relief and went forward with a smile.
Shi Fengju's heart warmed when he saw her. He couldn't help but take two steps forward, held her hand, and led her inside. "It's cold outside. Why didn't you wait inside? Have you had dinner? "
Sang Wan shook her head, "I wanted to wait for you to come back! How was it? Did you make it clear to her? Did she agree? " Now that she was pregnant, she didn't want to be distracted by a woman who harbored evil intentions and could stir up trouble at any time. Naturally, she couldn't wait for her to leave quickly.
"It's not up to her whether she agrees or not," Shi Fengju coldly snorted and said, "I'll send her away tomorrow morning. Wan Niang, she'll never appear in the Shi Family again. She'll never appear in our lives again!"
"That's good!" Sang Wan felt relieved and nodded.
"Wan Niang," Shi Fengju suddenly held her hand tightly, his burning eyes filled with gentleness and guilt, "She's caused you so much suffering, but I let her off so easily. Do you resent me in your heart?"
Resent? Of course there were. When he thought about how he had almost lost his life in the river and how each day felt like a year, how could he not be resentful?
"Of course I can't. But now that I'm back, I don't want to be calculative! As long as she's gone's left, let's just forget it. After all, she is your cousin ', your cousin, your family's''s, your's's's's … "
"Wan Niang!" Shi Fengju's heart ached when he heard this. He suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, "Wow, I won't let you be wronged again. I won't!"
Sang Wan leaned into his arms and gently rubbed against him.
Early the next morning, an old maid urged Gu Fangzi to get on the carriage and leave the fu. Gu Fangzi insisted on seeing Shi Fengju before leaving. Although the old maids were ordered to send her away, this matter wasn't made public. No one knew that Miss Gu was almost driven out of the fu. Seeing her insistence, they didn't dare to urge her.
Gu Fangzi smiled and didn't go to Ning Garden to find her. She waited at the second gate. When Shi Fengju went out, she called out, "Eldest Cousin," and stopped him.
Why haven't you left yet? Shi Fengju stared coldly at the consul's servant, causing her to feel a chill in her heart.
"Eldest Cousin, don't blame them," Gu Fangzi said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm just going to say a few words to you. Just a few words!"
Shi Fengju stared at her deeply and walked to the side.
Gu Fangzi pursed her lips and smiled. She tightened her cloak and slowly followed him.
The old maids waited silently. A few daring ones quietly looked over. They didn't know what Miss Gu said to Eldest Young Master, but Eldest Young Master's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Miss Gu coldly and didn't say a word. Miss Gu didn't seem to care. She smiled and said a few more words, then turned and walked away.
Seeing Gu Fangzi disappear in front of him, Shi Fengju sneered and strode out.
In Ning Garden, Sang Wan received the news that Gu Fangzi really got on the carriage and left the Shi Family. Her heart finally relaxed and her delicate hand unconsciously stroked her flat stomach.
Shi Fengju returned in the evening. Sang Wan greeted him with a smile. Shi Fengju smiled and said a few words to her. The gloomy atmosphere in the fu was finally swept away.
After dinner, the two chatted in the warm room. Shi Fengju suddenly asked with a smile, "Wan Niang, do you still remember Lingyan Mountain Villa?"
Sang Wan froze. She didn't know why he would suddenly mention it. She smiled and nodded, "Of course I remember. You took me there before!"
Shi Fengju smiled and said, "Do you like it there? Why don't I transfer the manor to you? What do you think? "
Sang Wan could not help but let out a "pfft" and chuckled, "Why are you suddenly talking about this? Why would you transfer it to me? It's the same if it's under your name! "
"How can it be the same!" Shi Fengju smiled and said, "If it's under your name, you'll have something to rely on in the future. Although you have a monthly allowance, how can it be enough? You spend a lot of money on everyday things! Just the reward for the servants was not a small sum of money. I just remembered that ever since you married me, you've never asked me for money! "
Sang Wan felt that his words were becoming more and more strange and ridiculous. She was secretly surprised. She smiled and said, "With you here, I can rely on you. Why would I need a villa to rely on? I didn't ask you for money because you gave me a lot. I don't need that much, so I didn't ask! "
"Really?" Shi Fengju's eyes suddenly became deep, "Wan Niang really thinks of me as someone to rely on?"
Such a gaze made Sang Wan feel a little unbearable, and she felt a little flustered. She still forced a smile and nodded, softly letting out an "En".
Shi Fengju chuckled and asked, "Wan Niang, since that's the case, what's the deal with Lu Luo Villa and the two hundred mu of fertile farmland and dozens of mu of mountainous land? Can Wan Niang tell me about it? "
When he suddenly mentioned this matter, Sang Wan's face turned snow-white. She was so shocked that her eyes widened and she forgot to react for a moment!
Seeing her reaction, Shi Fengju's heart turned cold. Gu Fangzi's mocking and cynical words rang in his ears, "Big Cousin, didn't you always say that I'm greedy for the Shi family's wealth and that I'm selfish and only like myself in my heart? Do you know that the woman in your hands might not be of the same mind as you? She already has other plans and is looking for a way out. It's funny that Big Cousin still kept it in the dark! Didn't Eldest Cousin ask her why she bought the farmstead behind your back? Does the young mistress of the Shi family need to use the name of a maidservant to buy property? "
"Sang Wan, what are you trying to do by using Liu Ya's name to purchase those properties behind the fu's back? That's what you're relying on! " Shi Fengju's tone was indescribably bitter. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I really didn't expect that you would feel so insecure when you're with me? So much so that you have to do this! If you want land, manor, or shops, you just have to say it and I can get it for you. Why do you have to do this? Why do you need to use the name of a maidservant? In your heart, what do you see me as? "
Shi Fengju slowly got up and glanced at her before turning to leave.
"Fengju!" Sang Wan rushed forward and hugged him from behind. She leaned against his back and pressed her cheek tightly against his body. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Fengju, it's not like that, it's not like that! Those were bought in the past. Now, I don't think of it that way — — "
"In the past?" Shi Fengju asked, "In the past, you thought of it that way?" Those properties were bought after they consummated their marriage and became a loving couple. When he thought of how he treated her wholeheartedly during those sweet days, and how he wished he could give her the best that he could, but she had other thoughts, Shi Fengju felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife!
The person behind him stiffened. Then, he heard her say, "Yes."
So it was really like that! Shi Fengju was so upset that his heart was split into two. He forcefully tried to pry her hands away.
"Fengju!" But she refused to let go and cried, "Fengju, I've said it before. That was in the past! I'm really afraid! Gu Fangzi, she — — "
"Afraid that I won't be able to fulfill my promise to you?" Shi Fengju's voice was cold.
"Yes!" Sang Wan admitted without hesitation, "You've been childhood sweethearts with her for so many years. She has her mother to back her up, but I have nothing. I'm not as good as my sister-in-law, who has a strong family! The only thing I can rely on is your pity. Fengju, if you were me, would you feel at ease? When I first set up the manor and farmland, I did indeed have a backup plan as a last resort in case I had no other choice! If one day you don't want me anymore, how can I go home and embarrass Big Brother and Sister-in-law? It wasn't easy for them to send me off, so how can I bring back a divorce letter for them! But where can a weak woman like me go? If I have a few fields to live on, I'll let it go! Although you've promised me that you'll find a way to send her away, but Fengju, there are things in this world that can't be done just because you've promised! You've always been filial and know how to look at the big picture. Can you really disregard your mother's feelings for me? I want to believe you, but reality tells me that it's impossible! Fengju, there was a time when we were about to give up, right? Ask yourself, if I hadn't met with such a disaster, would you have been so determined to chase her away? I've made a plan for myself to have peace of mind. What's wrong with that? "
Shi Fengju was stunned for a moment. He wanted to refute, but he had to admit that what she said was right. In the end, he had thought too simply of his cousin whom he had known since young. He didn't think that such a simple matter would become so complicated, to the point where they would fight to the death!
He had told her that he would protect her and that she wouldn't have to worry, but in the end? She was implicated because of him! If not for her luck, if not for a coincidence, he wouldn't have been able to see her again in this lifetime!
