Chapter 2210: Spring is not too late
Shi Li was in a very good mood as she was about to leave the Fang family. Seeing Fang Yu's shocked face, she explained to him patiently.
"Take care, cousin. We are indeed going back to Jiangnan. You can come to Jiangnan if you have the chance in the future."
Of course, what she said were all polite words. If possible, she hoped not to have anything to do with Fang Yu in this life.
"But... why did he leave?" Fang Yu didn't hear what Shi Li said at all and kept muttering to himself.
But no one cared about his feelings at this time. Shi Mufeng knew that Mrs. Fang had originally planned to let her two daughters live in the same courtyard with Fang Yu, and he felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to pay any more attention to it.
Zhao Qianyue stood nearby and also shed two tears hypocritically, then went to coax Fang Yu.
"Don't be sad, cousin. Your two sisters' homes are in Jiangnan, so it's only natural for them to go back."
As she spoke, Zhao Qianyue took out her handkerchief and handed it to Fang Yu, wanting him to wipe the tears that were about to fall from the corners of his eyes.
But Fang Yu was staring at the Shi family eagerly, and felt that the handkerchief handed to her was in the way, so she pushed it away with force.
Zhao Qianyue didn't expect him to do this. She staggered and her face turned pale with embarrassment.
Shi Li didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she got on the carriage and left Fang's house. After leaving Fang's house, she felt that the air outside was fresh and free.
Shi Mufeng already knew what his daughters had experienced when they were not around, especially Shi Li, who was nearly kidnapped by bandits on the road.
Everyone was present just now, so he couldn't express too much. Now there were only three of them in the carriage, father and daughter. Shi Mufeng looked at his two daughters carefully, especially Shi Li.
Even someone as strong and calm as him could still sigh, "Li'er has suffered these days."
Shi Li was originally very happy, but when Shi Mufeng said this, she immediately felt sad and aggrieved in her heart, but she still shook her head stubbornly.
"Don't worry, Dad. I'm fine."
"Okay, go back to Jiangnan with father, and we will live a good life there." Shi Mufeng stretched out his hand and patted each of his two daughters gently on the shoulder.
Not long after they left the Fang family, another sedan chair, surrounded by a group of servants, arrived at the gate of the Fang Mansion in a grand manner.
After the sedan bearers lowered the sedan, Madam Ming did not come out directly, but signaled the servants to go over and knock on the door.
She deliberately did not notify in advance, fearing that Madam Fang would find other excuses to prevaricate, so she simply went straight to the door.
Because of her identity, the Fang family did not dare to neglect her and hurriedly notified Old Madam Fang and Madam Fang.
Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were surprised.
"This... Why did Madam Ming suddenly come to our house? We have never met before." Madam Fang didn't know about the excuse that Old Madam Fang had made to others before, so she was confused.
Old Madam Fang suddenly realized why Madam Ming came and couldn't help but sneer.
"What a woman who doesn't know etiquette, huh!"
She was originally angry because Shi Mufeng took her granddaughter away. Now she knew the purpose of Madam Ming's visit. She immediately became unhappy and pointed at Madam Fang and said, "Go and welcome them in. Just tell her that the two girls from the Shi family just followed their father away!"
"Ah... yes." Mrs. Fang didn't dare to comment on her mother-in-law and could only hurried out the door.
Madam Ming finally stepped out of the sedan chair and smiled perfunctorily when she saw Madam Fang. "Madam Fang, I hope I am not disturbing you by visiting you without permission."
"Of course not, Madam Ming is too polite." Madam Fang's status could not be compared with Madam Ming, who had an imperial decree, so she could only lower her head slightly.
"That's good." Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Fang entered the Fang Mansion together, and Mingchen followed them quietly.
On the way, Mrs. Fang found an opportunity and tactfully told Shi Li and her sister that Shi Mufeng had just taken them away.
"What? Gone?"
Madam Ming stopped immediately and looked at Madam Fang in disbelief. "Are you kidding me?"
Mrs. Fang: ...
"Mrs. Ming, you are joking. How could I say such nonsense?" Mrs. Fang gritted her teeth.
The perfunctory smile on Mrs. Ming's face disappeared immediately, and she frowned and muttered, "Why is it so unfortunate?"
