Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 445 - 228: Fengju in Trouble

A moment of silence. With a "clatter," the chopsticks in Sang Wan’s hand fell to the ground, her heart suddenly gripped tight.

"What did you say? What happened to the young master?" Sang Wan’s voice trembled slightly, and she could barely stand. The news came too suddenly!

"The young master had an accident? Who said that? Where’s the person who brought the news? What on earth happened—speak quickly!" In the midst of speaking, Mrs. Li also rushed over, her complexion even worse than Sang Wan’s. Her hands grasped Xiuchun, shaking her incessantly. Every maid in the house had their faces drastically change, all gazes fixed intently on Xiuchun.

"I, I—" Xiuchun was taken aback by everyone’s reactions and stammered, unable to say anything.

"Mrs. Li!" Sang Wan barely suppressed the urge to succumb to her overwhelming emotions and pulled at Mrs. Li, managing to say, "Let’s, let’s go to mother’s side—"

"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Li flustered and stumblingly supported Sang Wan towards the door, nearly causing both of them to fall in a stagger. This frightened all the maids in the house into a chorus of alarmed cries.

In the main courtyard, the situation was even worse. Upon entering, Sang Wan saw Chang Huan kneeling in the hall, Mrs. Wang crying and clamoring "Fengju" non-stop, while Mrs. Jiang, Xiuli, and others tried to console her in vain.

A scene shrouded in sorrow and gloom.

"Mother!" Sang Wan’s nose tingled, and her eyes immediately moistened. She quickly approached and knelt beside Mrs. Wang, pulling at her sleeve with tears in her eyes, "Mother, please don’t be like this. If the young master knows, how would he feel? Mother, what exactly happened? The young master has not been dealing with affairs outside for just a day or two; surely he must have had his precautions. With experienced family members and clerks by his side, even if it were a major incident, he would definitely turn the bad luck into good fortune! Mother, please don’t be sad!"

"Madam, Miss Wan is right; the young master will certainly turn misfortune into a blessing, turn a bad omen into good luck! If you cry yourself sick, how heartbroken the young master will be when he returns?" Mrs. Jiang was also busy trying to console her.

Chang Huan hadn’t expected Mrs. Wang’s reaction to be so severe and was momentarily stunned. Catching a stern glance from Sang Wan, she snapped out of her daze and hurriedly crawled forward, repeatedly kowtowing, sobbingly saying, "It’s all my fault for not making myself clear and frightening Madam. Please be assured, madam, a famous doctor is looking after him, the young master surely won’t be in danger, and the wound... is just a surface wound, it has not hurt the muscles or bones."

"Really?" Mrs. Wang halted her crying, staring earnestly at Chang Huan.

"Yes, yes." Chang Huan hurriedly replied: "How would I dare deceive madam with my insignificant life at stake?"

"Fengju, my son, you must come back safely! Otherwise, mother can’t live on!" Mrs. Wang broke into tears again, hiding her face as she sobbed, but Mrs. Jiang and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this cry signaled that she had regained her composure.

Mrs. Li had already been crying like the rain, and now, she stepped forward with Mrs. Jiang and others to earnestly persuade Mrs. Wang, and with great difficulty, they finally managed to calm her down.

Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears and seeing Sang Wan still kneeling by her side, she lifted her by the arm, "Miss Wan, please get up! Stop crying!"

Sang Wan followed her word and stood up, hearing this her tears fell like beads off a string, and after a while, they stopped.

"What exactly happened, tell me everything in detail!" Mrs. Wang commanded Sang Wan to sit down and collected herself before asking Chang Huan again.

"Auntie! Auntie! What happened to cousin, what happened to him?" Before Chang Huan could open her mouth, Gu Fangzi rushed in like a whirlwind from outside. Upon seeing Mrs. Wang’s eyes brimming with tears, she threw herself into Mrs. Wang’s embrace, wailing loudly, crying out "cousin, auntie" intermittently.

Mrs. Wang’s just calmed emotions were stirred by her actions and couldn’t help but break down again, hugging her and weeping bitterly.

Mrs. Li glared resentfully at Gu Fangzi, desperate to hear the full story from Chang Huan, but this uncouth girl had rushed in and caused such a mess!

Mrs. Jiang also frowned slightly. Mrs. Wang, being advanced in years, faced with such troubling news about her beloved son, how could she bear it? Just as she managed to calm her down, Gu Fangzi’s commotion caused another uproar! If she truly cared for her elder’s well-being, how could she be so thoughtless of her elder’s health?

Like Mrs. Li, Sang Wan was also irritated, so she hurriedly began consoling Mrs. Wang again, while Mrs. Jiang offered comforting words on the side and signaled Xiuchun, Xiuli, and the others to step forward and forcefully pull Gu Fangzi away.

Gu Fangzi cried like a mess, clutching at Mrs. Wang, refusing to let go, her cries for "cousin" truly heart-wrenching.
