Third Old Mistress Shi’s face darkened immediately as she sighed awkwardly and said, “This is the way the royal court works, how can they deny us? Moreover, my husband’s health is more important. We can’t simply ignore his health condition in order to keep his position! What will we become then!” Second Old Mistress Shi was feeling upset as well. …

Just by seeing brows knitted together, Shi Fengju knew what she was thinking. With a comforting smile, he affirmed, “Don’t worry, we’ll just do whatever we have to. They belong to the third family anyway, so it’ll be up to Third Uncle and Third Aunt to educate them!” Sang Wan was suddenly enlightened. She agreed with him that although they …

Sang Wan secretly complained. She had never been in charge of such a major family matter before. With New Year around the corner, she had to deal with the cleaning and decorations, offerings to be offered to the ancestors, hospitality, annual gifts for friends and relatives, rewards for the servants, as well as food and clothing for the entire family. …

However, Sang Wan remained stubborn on this. She shook her head and laughed, “I’ve never liked to impose on others, so I think this will all have to depend on Zhide! Nanny Li, please ask her and tell her that it was me who told her to speak her mind without any worries! She had wholeheartedly served in Ning Garden1Ning …

Sang Wan pretended to not hear her. She sat on the bedside where Gu Fangzi previously sat on instead of finding a chair before asking Shi Lian with a smile, “Your oldest brother asked me to visit you. How are you feeling right now, are you feeling better now? Is the medicine that you’re using alright? Did the wound get …

“It’s no trouble!” Nanny Li smiled and said, “Young Master already took the initiative to return. Young Mistress, don’t you think you should return the favor? This old servant knows that your skin isn’t thick, so what you say may not necessarily be what you are thinking! But by bringing Young Master’s clothes back, I’m sure he will understand your …

Seeing that Sang Wan could think this way, Shi Fengju knew that things should be fine for Sang Wan for now. He smiled and said, “I will tell Mother and Big Sister about it. Please care for Third Sister more, she is always honest and well-behaved, but who knows how much resentment she had to endure on a daily basis? …

“Young Master, you’ve to hurry! Young Mistress and Third Missy are on the opposite street; Third Missy is injured! Young Mistress asked me to——”  “Injured? What happened!” Shi Fengju creased his eyebrows and instructed quickly, “What are you waiting for? Lead the way!”  “But——”  “Now!”  “Brother Shi!” Zhuang Weixian smiled and went up to them.  “Brother Zhuang!” Shi Fengju cupped …

Shi Yumei could hear the implications behind Sang Wan’s words and her head throbbed from anger the moment she saw the mockery in her eyes. She gave a scorn and climbed into the carriage without turning back. Why? She was aggravated and wanted to give Sang Wan some trouble. Who knew that this would only upset herself more instead! With …

Sang Wan smiled and said, “Just by listening to Shopkeeper Sun, each of them are excellent on their own. We’ll take whichever set Big Sister likes! After all, there’s a saying that ‘Happiness can’t be bought with money!’”  “Young Mistress is right, as long as Eldest Missy likes it!” Shopkeeper Sun smiled and agreed as he tried to favor both …
