Chapter 274: Chapter 138: Delivering Hangover Soup

"Oh, Miss Cousin, what brings you here!" Chang Huan was surprised to see her and quickly greeted her with a smile.

Why does that sound so grating? Gu Fangzi felt a slight displeasure in her heart and, with a half-smile, raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Can’t I come?"

Chang Huan was taken aback and lightly fanned her mouth, saying with a forced laugh, "Look at this silly mouth of mine, blabbering nonsense! Of course, you can come! I was just rambling on, Miss Cousin, please don’t take it to heart!"

"I was just joking with you! When have I ever been so petty!" Gu Fangzi said slyly, blinking and giving a snort of laughter.

Chang Huan paused, then laughed along awkwardly, thinking to herself: The sun must have risen from the west! Miss Cousin isn’t angry, it’s really, it’s really— I don’t even know what to say!

Gu Fangzi smiled faintly, "Is Big Cousin back? I heard he had some drinks, so I brought him some hangover soup. How is it? Is he not too drunk? You all should be careful when you go out with Big Cousin, try to persuade him not to drink too much, it’s bad for his health if he gets drunk..."

While speaking, Gu Fangzi headed toward the study, Chang Huan wanted to stop her but didn’t dare to step forward, she could only hurry after her, listening to the lecture and softly saying "Yes".

"Miss Cousin," Chang Huan finally mustered the courage to block Gu Fangzi at the entrance of the study, saying with a smile, "It’s late and cold, Miss Cousin should hurry back to rest. I can bring the hangover soup to him. Haha, the young master is a bit drunk; I’m afraid you won’t be able to speak with him even if you go in..."

"Big Cousin is drunk?" Gu Fangzi hurriedly said, "No! I must see him! Don’t disturb him, open the door quickly."

"Miss Cousin..."

"What? Do my words carry no weight?" Gu Fangzi dangerously narrowed her eyes at Chang Huan, her voice growing colder.

"I dare not!" Startled, Chang Huan quickly opened the door.

Gu Fangzi called out "Big Cousin" a few times and headed straight for the wing room where Shi Fengju usually rested, and indeed saw him lying on the bed covered with a fleece blanket.

"Big Cousin! Big Cousin!" Gu Fangzi shook him with concern.

Shi Fengju wasn’t really that drunk; he was just tipsy and upon hearing her, opened his eyes and saw Gu Fangzi, then sat up frowning, "Cousin? Why are you here!"

There it is again, that sentence, truly a case of like master like servant!

Gu Fangzi felt a surge of resentment but kept a gentle and worried expression, "I heard you were drunk so I came to check on you. Look at you, getting drunk and not returning to Ningyuan to lie down here—Sister would be so worried!"

If someone else had said this, Shi Fengju might have believed it, but coming from Gu Fangzi’s mouth, he found it utterly ridiculous and repulsive.

This woman still likes to treat him like a fool, playing and deceiving!

"If there’s nothing else, you should go back! I didn’t drink much, just need some quiet time to rest," Shi Fengju said indifferently.

Gu Fangzi , noting the subtle change in Shi Fengju’s expression at the mention of Sang Wan, felt secretly pleased and thought to herself: Sure enough, there is trouble, great, this is just too good!

"Hmm, after you drink the hangover soup, I’ll go back! I had someone specially prepare it for you, it sobers you up and calms the nerves, making sure you’ll sleep soundly until morning! Come on, drink it quickly!" Gu Fangzi said as she ordered Lan Xiang to serve the hangover soup.

Since when did she become so obedient? Shi Fengju was surprised too, almost thinking he was hallucinating from drinking too much.

"Just set it down here, I’ll drink it myself later," Shi Fengju shook his head. Her behavior was too odd; it still made him very uncomfortable.

"Big Cousin, drink it quickly, otherwise you’ll feel uncomfortable. I truly care about you! Haven’t we always been—"

"Cousin!" The last thing Shi Fengju wanted to hear was about the past, cutting her off: "You go back first!"

"Young master!" Before Gu Fangzi could speak, Mrs. Li came in with a food box, and was surprised to see Gu Fangzi, "Oh, Miss Cousin is here too?"

That’s the third time she heard that tonight! Even if Gu Fangzi were usually patient, she couldn’t help getting angry, not to mention she was never one to have a good temper.

"So what? Can’t I come? Can’t I come over to care for my husband without Mrs. Li’s permission?" Gu Fangzi said with an air of nonchalance.

"Where is Miss Cousin’s talk coming from?" Mrs. Li said with a smile: "The young master has had a drink tonight and needs to rest, Miss Cousin shouldn’t disturb the young master, please go back!"
