Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 179 - 90 Accidentally Caught a Cold_2

"It’s all my fault," Shi Yumei couldn’t help but blame herself again, sighing, "I should have thought of you last night and come to keep you company!"

Gu Fangzi quickly reassured with a smile, "What are you saying, big cousin! It was not easy for you to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should be beside aunt to show your filial piety! Even if you came, Fangzi would not have it!" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Thinking about it, Shi Yumei then became even more annoyed with Sang Wan, "Putting aside whether we could have come or not, that girl from the Sang family didn’t even come to see you once! Is this how a lawful wife from their family cares for those around Fengju? The Sang family really knows how to raise girls!"

"Sister was busy arranging the festival, she was actually quite exhausted and busy! Big cousin, please don’t blame her! Eventually, it all boils down to Fangzi herself being at fault for being enticed by the moonlight..."

"You!" Shi Yumei couldn’t help but sigh out of pity, and firmly said, "Don’t worry! We can’t go on like this! I’m here for everything! Ah, now that I think about it, why didn’t Fengju come over yesterday either?"

Gu Fangzi felt a stab of pain from Shi Yumei’s words, her expression dimmed as she forced a smile and said, "Big brother, he must have been busy too... Fangzi knows, he must be worried about me in his heart! The fact that he cares... that’s enough..."

Shi Yumei suddenly recalled that late yesterday afternoon, Shi Fengju had just come home, all because of her own husband! Feeling guilty and awkward for a moment, she coughed and did not continue on that topic, nodding and smiling at Gu Fangzi, "Of course, you and my younger brother have grown up together and he has always been good to you. This relationship is something no one else can match! Understanding his feelings is good enough!" She then glared at Lan Xiang, "Silly girl, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and call someone to get the doctor! Can’t you see your mistress is suffering?"

Lan Xiang glanced quickly at Gu Fangzi, hurriedly agreed, and turned to run off.

Meanwhile, Shi Yumei was busy consoling Gu Fangzi.

Gu Fangzi had no choice but to muster her spirits and show a thankful smile, feeling secretly disappointed in her heart. She had intended to subtly hint to Shi Yumei not to forget to frequently remind her big cousin to visit her, but before she could speak out, Shi Yumei had already stopped.

Lan Xiang rushed to Ningyuan and told Sang Wan, Sang Wan, while instructing someone to call the doctor, had no choice but to personally visit the peony garden.

"Sister is sick? Is it serious?" Sang Wan entered and asked with concern.

"Oh, how come sister you have come in person!" Gu Fangzi struggled to rise up, her face full of reverence and surprise.

"Sister, lie down, don’t move!" Seeing her play-acting, Sang Wan sneered inwardly but still had to go along and play-acted as well, approaching quickly to hold her down and berated herself, "It’s all because I was negligent for a while, leading to sister falling ill!"

"You know that too!" Shi Yumei coldly huffed, "As Fengju’s lawful wife, you should have shown the magnanimity and wisdom of a lawful wife! Fangzi is a legitimate aunt brought formally through the door; is this how you take care of her? Not to mention that she is also my mother’s own niece, treating her like this, I fear my mother would blame you, and you wouldn’t be able to handle it!"

"I was careless!" Sang Wan slightly bowed her head, seeing Lan Xiang beside her couldn’t help but scold, "And you all as well, how do you serve? It’s chilly at night, how could you allow your mistress to catch a cold outside in the courtyard? Your mistress is already in a poor state of mind due to her filial duties, how could she withstand the evil wind? Even if you couldn’t persuade her, you should have proactively added more clothing for her! You’ve been with your mistress for so many years, I thought you knew well to take care of her needs and be attentive, but I didn’t expect you to be so careless! Sister, how about you pick a couple more maids to attend to you?"

Lan Xiang inwardly lamented, already knelt down to admit her fault. Gu Fangzi and Shi Yumei, after hearing what Sang Wan said, couldn’t refute at all.

"Thank you, sister, for caring!" Gu Fangzi coughed and gratefully said, "My sister is already tired from managing the household daily, there’s no need for you to worry about me! It was my caprice yesterday, it has nothing to do with Lan Xiang! She’s good, I’m comfortable with her, there’s no need for additional people for now!"

Additional people? Gu Fangzi sneered inwardly: Sure enough, the fox’s tail has shown, she fantasizes about planting spies in my courtyard! Dream on!

"Sister too," Sang Wan casually glanced at Shi Yumei thinking that she had heard, it was their own caprice, not related to me! I can’t always just watch over them here! Smilingly she said, "Such a grown person still being capricious! Besides everything else, it’s your own body! If you fall ill, it hurts yourself and makes others feel heartache! Don’t do this anymore in the future!"

Then she called for Lan Xiang again, smiling, "Good girl, I was wrong to blame you! You are indeed loyal, not arguing a single word! You’ve been wronged!"

"Slave doesn’t dare!" Lan Xiang bowed her head in response and quietly stepped aside.

Seeing Gu Fangzi admit it herself, Shi Yumei also couldn’t say more, and humphed softly without speaking further.

Not long after, the doctor arrived, diagnosed merely a chill which was not serious, prescribed two doses of medicine to be brewed and taken, and advised no more catching cold, promising recovery in a day or two.

Sang Wan ordered someone to escort the doctor out and then instructed Lan Xiang, "Although the doctor said it’s not serious, the medicine still goes into your mistress’ mouth, you should be extra cautious! Go down and fetch the medicine yourself. Don’t be lazy later, brew the medicine personally for your mistress to take! If you’re not careful and something goes wrong, even if your mistress forgives you, I won’t! Go!"

Lan Xiang glanced instinctively at Gu Fangzi, seeing her leaning half-sitting, half-reclining on the bed looking pale without even glancing back at her, lightly acquiesced in her voice, and went down to fetch the medicine without mention.

Gu Fangzi secretly resented, she had originally thought about tampering with the medicine, but with Sang Wan clearly stating in front of Shi Yumei, making Lan Xiang fully responsible, it was clearly guarding against her and also a warning.
