Shi Fengju's eyes suddenly grew heavy, and he said indifferently, "Leave it be for now. I will speak to my mother about it!"
Mrs. Li, upon hearing this, naturally felt delighted on the inside. She promptly agreed and called for the maids to fetch water for Shi Fengju to wash his face and hands and change his clothes. She also sent someone to the small kitchen to check on how the meal preparations were going.
With Sang Wan gone, Ningyuan became much quieter. Mrs. Li and Xingzhi were not the talkative type, and only Liu Ya was chirpy and loved to laugh. Having finished discussing serious matters with Mrs. Li, Shi Fengju had nothing more to say. He had even less desire to interact with the maids. When Sang Wan was around, they used to chat and laugh together, but now both she and Liu Ya were gone, the others only moved softly and silently, undertaking their tasks without daring to make a sound, filling the room with an inexplicable tension.
