Rebirth of an abandoned woman

Chapter 19: Insatiable

In contrast, Wang Shi did so because she did not want her daughter-in-law to be by her side at all times else she would feel uncomfortable. After all, with her servants serving her, she could do whatever she wishes without reservations and not having to always exert her seniority!

While on the topic, the position of an elder in the Shi family sure was difficult and tiring to hold.

Sang Wan was slightly surprised. It seemed that her mother-in-law truly disliked having her daughter-in-law serve her and it had not been an act in her past life when her mother-in-law had been wholly displeased with her. At this moment, Sang Wan finally understood.

"Yes, your daughter-in-law shall head back now!" Sang Wan bowed before retiring. But as she did so, she raised her head and smiled gently and added, "Mother-in-law, have someone call for me whenever you feel listless. Your daughter-in-law shall help dispel that listlessness!"

"Yes, yes!" Feeling cared for, Wang Shi grinned and nodded.

"Nanny Jiang, what do you think of my daughter-in-law?" After seeing Sang Wan leave, Wang Shi sat comfortably on the couch before asking Nanny Jiang.

"This old servant thinks that she's not bad! Old Master's arrangement for the marriage was right; Mistress, you're truly blessed!" Nanny Jiang smiled as she praised.

"That is true! I can't bear to say this but I have to admit, a member of a scholar family sure is different! Truly a blessing to have!" Wang Shi smiled but suddenly began to sigh. "Both are good; both aren't bad, eh, not bad..."

"Go, take a look at what my niece is doing and invite her here!" Wang Shi's brow rose and she instructed a young maidservant while feeling slightly satisfied with herself.

Gu Fangzi had been waiting in the

Peony Park

restlessly. Upon hearing that her aunt had summoned her, she briskly went over. Arriving at the courtyard, Gu Fangzi stopped in her tracks. Adjusting her expression, clothes, and complexion, she entered the parlor gracefully.

"Aunt —"

"Come! Come! Have a seat! We're a family so there's no need for the ceremony!" Wang Shi cut the greeting short and gestured with a smile.

Gu Fangzi smiled and agreed before sitting next to Wang Shi.

Wang Shi held Gu Fangzi's hand and spoke, "I've spoken to Sang Wan; the management of the household will remain in your care. Sang Wan has no objections! In the future, I'll leave them to you! Aunt trusts in the way you manage the household!"

"That —" The edges of Gu Fangzi's lips unconsciously curled up in a grin. Though her appearance was like a beautiful flower and her heart as sweet as nectar, her mouth questioned, doubtingly, "That isn't good, right? After all, she's the Ma'am of this household... is she really alright with this arrangement?"

"Don't worry!" Wang Shi smiled. "Though your aunt may be old and is no longer managing this household, my words still contain power and are the final say! Since she has agreed to it, it means that she has fully accepted it! In the future, other than the vicinities of

Ning Garden

, everything will be managed by you. I hope that your management won't disappoint me."

"Ning Garden?" Gu Fangzi's smiling face stiffened slightly.

"Yes. Ning Garden is where she lives, so that place is naturally given to her to care for. Also, that's to save you from embarrassment. What's important now is that you do not act out of line." Without knowing, Wang Shi had gotten closer to Gu Fangzi and spoken with an intimate voice. This showed that she cared for Gu Fangzi as if she was part of Wang Shi's immediate family.
