Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 520 - 266: Driven Out

"I don’t know where these two came from, but they wanted to pick the wisteria flowers. I happened upon them and tried to stop them, only for this woman to not only refuse to admit her mistake but also to become more arrogant and scold me instead."

Upon seeing Madam Qin, Shi Fengming and Su Qing’er anticipated that the young lady they encountered yesterday was Shi Fengju’s wife, and thus did not find it surprising to meet her now. Sang Wan had already expected their meeting and was not surprised either.

"Is this my elder sister-in-law? I’m sorry, it was I who was presumptuous! Please, elder sister-in-law, forgive me!" Shi Fengming hurried forward and bowed in apology.

Su Qing’er also rushed forward with an appeasing smile, "Great Madam, I apologize, I was just too angry with what that sister said, it was so unpleasant. It’s one thing if she scolded me, but she kept bringing up Second Master and said things like ’outsider’ and ’breaking the rules’, which was really unbearable, so I couldn’t help but argue back a few sentences! I saw this wisteria blooming beautifully and couldn’t resist picking a string, which was indeed my fault. I’m here to apologize to Great Madam!" Su Qing’er said as she elegantly curtsied to Sang Wan.

"Great Madam, it’s not at all like that, this woman, she—"

"Madam Qin," Sang Wan called out with a faint smile to stop her, and said with a smile: "It’s alright, it’s just a string of flowers. It’s gone now! You go check the kitchen to see what dishes are prepared for lunch. Second Master will be staying for the meal today."

Madam Qin breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and left.

Sang Wan then turned to Shi Fengming with an apologetic smile: "I’m really sorry, Madam Qin didn’t know it was Second Master, and that’s why she spoke out of turn! It’s all my fault. Seeing that the wisteria was blooming so well, I casually instructed them to take good care of it, who knew she would be overzealous! And to think that such a coincidence would happen! I apologize to Second Master, and I hope you won’t take it to heart, and you, miss, please don’t take offense either!"

Shi Fengming, who was initially a bit upset that Sang Wan didn’t let Madam Qin apologize to him and Su Qing’er, saw her apologizing personally and didn’t dare to accept it, quickly stepped aside and said with a smile: "Elder sister-in-law, please don’t do this! I am not worthy of such apologies! It’s just a trivial matter. You shouldn’t worry about it either! It’s also our fault that the people here don’t recognize me. Even if we wanted to stroll in the garden, we should have asked a maid to guide us!"

Sang Wan replied with a smile, "As long as Second Master doesn’t mind! I’ve already instructed the servants that Second Master has arrived, so such an incident won’t happen again. You have probably been out for a long while, Second Master. Let’s talk upstairs in the hall!"

"After you, elder sister-in-law," Shi Fengming said, lifting his hand with a smile.

Su Qing’er, seeing that Sang Wan had indirectly mentioned her and didn’t show any dislike towards her, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Great Madam is both polite and eloquent. Hearing you speak is truly comforting! It must be fate that we’ve met since we came across each other yesterday! When I first saw Great Madam, I felt an affinity and an urge to get closer, which is why I had the audacity to ask Great Madam for a cup of tea even though I wouldn’t have done so with anyone else! It’s surprising that today we’ve met again! Speaking of yesterday, we were the ones being presumptuous. Great Madam, you are a generous person, please don’t take it to heart!"

"Such accidents aren’t worth mentioning, Miss, you are too polite!" Sang Wan smiled. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Seeing Sang Wan pickup on her conversation, Su Qing’er felt even more pleased and hastened forward, attempting to support her arm while praising, "I knew Great Madam is a very kind and generous person! If Great Madam doesn’t mind, I can accompany you to chat and alleviate your boredom when you are free. May I ask what Great Madam usually likes to do?"

Sang Wan deftly shifted to the side, keeping her composure and said with a smile, "As a guest, Miss, how dare I accept such words? During this hot weather, I don’t fancy going out much, mostly just staying in the garden to stay cool."

"By the way, Second Master, I’ve already sent the housekeeper to locate young master; I’m just not sure when he’ll be able to return. Are you looking for him for some urgent matter?" Sang Wan turned her head to smile and ask Shi Fengming.

She really didn’t want to engage in small talk with Su Qing’er.

Shi Fengming hurriedly said with a smile: "It’s nothing urgent, just visiting elder brother and elder sister-in-law! Elder brother should prioritize his important affairs, it’s alright to see him when he’s free!"

"Then that’s good!" Sang Wan smiled and nodded.

Su Qing’er also noticed that Sang Wan did not wish to become closer to her. Thinking that as long as Sang Wan didn’t detest her, she was fine, and that eagerness cannot achieve things hastily, she maintained her composure and stepped back, keeping pace with Shi Fengming.

Soon, they sat down in the flower hall and chatted about family matters and recent events. Shi Fengming casually mentioned he hadn’t congratulated elder brother and sister-in-law yet, and Sang Wan received his words with a smile. Su Qing’er intermittently joined the conversation, and Shi Fengming was pleased to see her participation. Sang Wan could not easily snub his face and responded politely.
