Mrs. Wang was extremely uncomfortable, first complaining about him not obeying and asking why he was in such a rush to return to the business. Wasn't it agreed that he would rest for a few more days? How could Shi Fengju find any rest after Gu Fangzi got involved? Pointing to heaven and earth, he repeatedly assured her that he was fine. Only then did Mrs. Wang sigh and give up, still instructing him to come home early every day!
Seeing that she had finally let go of the matter, Shi Fengju quickly agreed.
Mrs. Wang glanced at him and then said, "Did you go to the peony garden yesterday? What on earth did you say to Fang'er? She fell ill again today!"
Shi Fengju was startled and frustrated. Just a few words from him made her ill? Since when was she so delicate?
"Mother, can we not talk about this now? She might be tired from the mental and physical strains these past days. How could my words have such an impact!"
