Chapter 76: Chapter 38 Mrs. Li Has a Daughter Now_2

The two little maids looked at Liu Ya with silent admiration and felt a retrospective fear for her: her courage was really extraordinary!

Mrs. Wang and Shi Fengju were both very pleased upon hearing Mrs. Li’s request. Brimming with joy, Mrs. Wang immediately summoned Liu Ya and personally acted as a witness for the induction, commanding Liu Ya to kneel, kowtow, and offer tea to Mrs. Li in front of her, calling her "Mother!" As a congratulatory gift, she gave Liu Ya two pieces of brocade, a pair of gold hairpins set with rubies, and a pair of jadeite pendants. She also ordered the kitchen to prepare a grand banquet to celebrate that evening.

"Older sister, now you also have a daughter, and it puts my mind at ease as well!" Mrs. Wang said with great emotion to Mrs. Li.

"Yes, yes! This old servant now has a daughter!" Mrs. Li’s face beams with a smile that never ceased, and she looked at Liu Ya with more and more fondness and intimacy. "Madam can rest assured, from now on, this old servant and my daughter will definitely serve the young master and Miss Wan well!"

Liu Ya hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to express her feelings, and she was also somewhat shy and embarrassed.

Mrs. Wang was delighted by this, treating Sang Wan even more affectionately.

Gu Fangzi also congratulated with a smile on her face, but her handkerchief was tightly clenched and soaked with sweat. She was furiously jealous as she believed this was Sang Wan’s scheme, a way for Sang Wan to draw in Mrs. Li as an ally, intending to use Mrs. Li against her.

What she didn’t know was that afterwards, Mrs. Li had seriously reminded Liu Ya in private to continue to behave well as before, to not harbour the wrong thoughts nor to contend with Miss Wan for superiority. It took Liu Ya a while before she remembered her current status as a maid and concubine, which scared her into a cold sweat.

That evening, Mrs. Wang hosted a banquet where Mrs. Li and Liu Ya both excused themselves and sat together at the lower end of the table for dinner. Mrs. Wang, who loved a lively atmosphere, particularly instructed to bring out wine. Gu Fangzi was irked inside and took out her frustration on Shi Fengju by coaxing him to drink. Shi Fengju was still not fully sober from the banquet at noon, and as a result, by the end of this meal, everyone else was sober while he alone was drunk.

"Older sister, Fengju is also happy for you!" said Mrs. Wang with a beaming smile.

"The grace that Madam and the young master have shown this old servant is truly... it leaves me at a loss for words!" Mrs. Li blinked her eyes and sighed.

"Mrs. Li, as long as you’re happy, it’s good!" Shi Fengju said smilingly, his expression somewhat dazed and his speech slightly slurred.

"Look at you, you’re so drunk yet your mind is still clear!" Mrs. Wang scolded with a smile, then told Sang Wan and others to help him back to his room to rest well.

Sang Wan thus stepped forward to personally support Shi Fengju.

Gu Fangzi stood aside, her face turning ashen, coldly watching Shi Fengju staggering and leaning heavily against Sang Wan as they left, her silver teeth nearly crushed in spite.

Back in Ningyuan, Sang Wan hurried to serve Shi Fengju as he washed up, then she and Xingzhi supported Shi Fengju into the bedroom. Seeing Shi Fengju collapsed onto the bed, Sang Wan sighed to herself, thinking that tonight, she might have to sleep on the floor.

However, when she tidied up everything and entered the bedroom, she saw Shi Fengju sitting up with his legs dangling off the bed, leaning against the headrest, and laughing as he watched her enter.

"Why did you get up if you’re drunk? You scared me!" Sang Wan said with a laugh as she patted her chest. It really was quite alarming to suddenly look up and see someone staring straight at her with a blank stare and a laugh.

"I’m not drunk! I’m lucid, really! Haha, I hadn’t expected... that Mrs. Li and Liu Ya were so fated! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her, her elderliness, smiling so happily!" Shi Fengju continued staring directly at Sang Wan: "Thank you, Miss Wan!"

Sang Wan chuckled and stepped forward, jokingly saying: "And you’re saying you’re not drunk? Just listen to yourself, your speech is all slurred! Enough, don’t say more, go to sleep!"

Speaking to someone intoxicated, Sang Wan allowed herself to be more casual than usual, without the usual scruples. After saying that, she helped Shi Fengju to lie down.

Who would have known that shi Fengju would try to get up again? His movements were heavy due to his semi-intoxicated state, and in their collision, he inadvertently toppled Sang Wan onto the bed, his entire body heavily pressed against hers.

Sang Wan was startled and almost screamed. The weight on her body sent a strange tingling sensation coursing through her, sapping her strength and leaving her unable to move.

Lifting her eyes, she met a pair of deep, dark gemstone-like eyes staring intently at her, their depths clouded, dazed, and contained something indescribable.

Through the thin fabric of their clothes, his breath gradually permeated and enveloped her. With every breath, his scent melded with hers, her face alternately cool and warm with his exhalations.

All of a sudden, Sang Wan felt dizzy, her cheeks flushed with heat, her heartbeat racing to the point of near suffocation, as she simply stared dazedly at Shi Fengju.

Shi Fengju felt a warm and fragrant sensation and was unconsciously pleased, reluctant to let go, staring blankly at her. Under the soft light of the lamp, he saw the woman’s cheeks flushed rosy, her delicate face showing a mix of coy annoyance and a slight pout, the water-bright eyes lustrous and clear, exuding an irresistible charm. Below, her elegant and delicate neck and exquisitely sculptured collarbones shone brightly with her pale skin, creamy smooth to the sight, which made Shi Fengju’s heart sway, and he unconsciously raised his hand to gently caress her cheek.

"What are you doing? Get up!" Sang Wan suddenly came to her senses, her expression changing, glaring at him in annoyed embarrassment.

Perhaps it was her intense gaze or the drastic change from before, but Shi Fengju also sobered up at once, realizing that he was behaving inappropriately, pressing down on his wife in an ambiguous posture and even trying to touch her face, something indecent. In truth, he wouldn’t admit that what he wanted was to kiss her.
