"There's no need!" Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "However, I do have two people for you to take along, and you are not to decline."
"Two people?" Shi Fengju was slightly taken aback, seemingly understanding his mother's intention.
"It's not proper for you to be without someone reliable by your side when you're out. Let Fang'er and Xiuchun accompany you; they can help you manage your meals and daily life. That would put my mind at ease while you're away!"
"Mother," Shi Fengju furrowed his brows and rejected flatly: "There's no need! I was just about to discuss this with you. I'm planning to go to Dongliu Village tomorrow night, and then take Miss Wan with me the day after. Sang Wan has been taking care of me from Handan all the way back, and I've gotten used to her care. Plus, the scenery in Hangzhou is beautiful, and it's a great opportunity to take her out for a change of scenery. Cousin and Xiuchun should stay here and keep you company, Mother!"
