"Miss Wan, I—"
"Don't say it!" Sang Wan softly raised her hand to cover his mouth and whispered, "You don't need to feel guilty towards me. I know you were sincere when you promised me, but who could have foreseen what the future held? I truly don't blame you for breaking your word. With Mother stating things so clearly and publicly, if you were to refuse now, not only would it be difficult for you, it would be hard for me as well; causing unrest in the family over this is not wise. Let's just drop it! I only have one request, she must not manage the household affairs, otherwise, I'd rather live my whole life in this manor."
"I didn't want to talk to you about that!" Shi Fengju said with a chuckle, seizing her slightly cold hand and gently kissing it. "Miss Wan, don't worry about this matter. This has nothing to do with you; it's my own business! Whatever decision I make, it has nothing to do with you, do you understand?"
