Chapter 276: Chapter 139: She’s Deliberately Keeping Her Distance from Me

Mrs. Li said with a headache: "Today, I advised the elder mistress a few words, and although she smiled and spoke gently and calmly, showing no sign of pique, she understands the reasoning. However, I always feel something isn’t right! It just doesn’t sit well with me! Alas, I don’t even know how to express it!"

Shi Fengju’s heart sank: She still minds it!

"So you’ve noticed it too," Shi Fengju said with a resigned smile, "Wet nurse, do you think Miss Wan is different from before?"

"Indeed!" Mrs. Li said: "Although the elder mistress has been caring for you, young master, with the same concern as always, it seems, it seems like she is distancing herself from you, certainly different from before!"

"Yes, she intentionally wants to distance herself from me," Shi Fengju sighed, "She still resents me for not taking her side, no wonder she is upset. But after all, she is my older sister. She is always strong-willed and though unspoken, I know she feels somewhat at the mercy of others; it’s not easy for her. I can’t break her heart again, or else my mother would be upset as well. Some matters, we just have to turn a blind eye and muddle through, but this will inevitably put Miss Wan in a difficult position, and there’s nothing I can do about it!"

Mrs. Li suddenly saw the light, understanding partially, "Not only the elder mistress suffers, but you too, young master, are in a tough spot! The elder mistress is a sensible person, be assured, she will come to understand this matter! After all, life must go on, right? If she doesn’t and just keeps brooding, hurting herself, that would also be unbearable! But we can’t let the elder mistress lose face. Young master, you must also counsel the auntie, even if there’s a big issue, how can she point at the elder mistress and scold and hit her? If the servants see, how can the elder mistress hold her head up!"

"I neglected this matter, it won’t happen again!" thought Shi Fengju, Wasn’t this trouble enough already? Is there even a next time? Miss Wan probably won’t deal with me ever again! Shi Fengju’s expression paused slightly, and he felt troubled again, Life must go on? Can it really continue? She seems determined to leave this time, can I even keep her?

"Wet nurse, please take good care of Miss Wan, I will be back in a few days, I really have been busy these days, please assure her!" Shi Fengju steeled his heart, regardless, he was not going to let her go. After all, now that it’s out in the open, as long as he does not admit to any messy agreements, then they don’t exist!

"Rest assured, young master! I will take good care of the elder mistress. With your words, I am reassured, and so will the elder mistress be very happy! Young master, you rest, I will go back now!" Mrs. Li said joyfully.

"Go ahead, wet nurse!" Shi Fengju nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Li left joyfully and told Sang Wan everything just like this, inevitably exaggerating a bit in praise of Shi Fengju, describing how he was always thinking of the elder mistress, caring about her! Sang Wan knew her loyalty to Shi Fengju and did not think much of these words, listening politely.

"The young master said these days he really has been busy, and he will come back in a few days, look elder mistress, the young master’s heart is always with you! Whatever he did in the past, that’s all gone now, isn’t it? Elder mistress, don’t keep it in mind! I see the auntie hasn’t made any visits these days, seems the young master must have spoken something to her, such nonsense will surely not happen again, so please rest assured!"

As Mrs. Li spoke, she let something slip, "Miss cousin also went to the study tonight to show her attentiveness, luckily, I arrived just when she did, elder mistress, you must stay alert, don’t give others any opportunity!"

Sang Wan’s eyes blinked and finally, she asked: "My younger sister went to the study tonight as well?"

Mrs. Li was secretly annoyed at her slip of the tongue but could only smile and say, "Yes, the Miss cousin was bringing hangover soup to the young master! But the young master hadn’t had a chance to drink it before I arrived, and thereafter Miss cousin left, the hangover soup the young master drank was the one we brought!"

Sang Wan felt an unspeakable unease bubbling up inside her – his beloved cousin brought him hangover soup, he must be very pleased and comforted, right?

"Had I known, we shouldn’t have bothered," Sang Wan said lightly with a smile, "My sister is truly thoughtful! The young master must have been very happy to see her, right?"
