Hearing so, Wang Shi hesitated for a while before she spoke again, “You are right! There is no reason for a missy from our Shi Family to be a concubine in another family! Her mother is no longer around; the people out there with malicious intent will think that I am ill-treating her and spread rumors about it! However, with …

The next day, Nanny Ning left the Hong household for the Shi household with two other servants to deliver the message. When Wang Shi heard that their city’s magistrate had sent people over, she quickly invited them in without much thought as she assumed that they were here to invite them to Old Mistress Hong’s dinner party. To her surprise, …

When Sang Wan returned to Ning Garden1Ning GardenSang Wan & Shi Fengju’s place of residence, Shi Fengju had already left for work. She found an excuse to send Nanny Li away after washing up and changing into a new set of clothes before ordering Zhide to watch the door while she sent a servant to call Liu Ya into the …

This was Sang Wan’s last vegetarian meal when Liu Ya suddenly asked if there was any pretty scenery around the temple. The nun who delivered the food smiled and said, “I was thinking of letting you know about it even without you asking! This temple is called Plum Blossom Temple, the plum blossom trees here are a must see! There …

Shi Fengju became more speechless the more he looked at her, “Cousin Fangzi, you should give up now! The marriage between us wasn’t widely known, and nothing really happened between us as well.

That’s just him being himself, but for some reason, …

Gu Fangzi wiped her tears and said hesitantly, “Aunt Wang, is it, is it because Sister Sang Wan cannot stand the sight of me anymore——, Aunt Wang, I would never dare go against Sister Sang Wan! I am just an orphan; her older brother is now a top-escorted examinee, and will soon become a successful candidate in the examinations. Will …

Mother, if you are not against it, then please tell Cousin Fangzi for me!” Shi Fengju said. “You want me to tell her for you?” Wang Shi could not help but crease her eyebrows and speak without deliberation, “Have you really …

“This servant, Zhide, greets Old Mistress!” In the warm room, Zhide knelt and kowtowed to Wang Shi respectfully. “You may get up now!!” Wang Shi smiled as she waved her hand and said, “I didn’t expect so many years to go by in a blink of an eye! The little girl from before has grown into such a beautiful young …

Concubine Fang became slightly awkward when she saw Shi Fengju the moment she entered the house. She heard that Old Mistress Hu wouldn’t be able to come today and deduced that Sang Wan must be at home, so she used every possible means to obtain Second Old Mistress Shi’s permission to come with a huge goal in mind.
