Chapter 37 - Separation II

After hearing this Fang Zheng understood. He now realized that it wasn't that Mother Shen did not request to have Shen Cui transferred to him but rather it was Aunt who did not allow it, maybe it was because Old Granny had said something to Aunt, whatever the reason was Fang Zheng didn't care, all he knew was that because of Aunt not accepting Mother Shen's request he was badly tormented every night. As such the gaze with which he looked at Aunt now contained a little resentment.

Uncle saw some resentment emerge in Fang Zheng's eyes but he dismissed it. Thinking that Fang Zheng will get over it in a few days. This was perhaps the biggest mistake that Uncle made in his entire life, if only he had not dismissed it and talked with Fang Zheng, then what would happen in the future wouldn't have happened.

...…

Once out of the house, Fang Yuan furiously waved his sleeves in front of his face, while doing this he heard a giggling sound. He turned around and saw Shen Cui hiding behind a pillar and giggling. When she saw that he had spotted her, she came out and handed him a scented pouch. Fang Yuan immediately snatched it and placed it under his nose and took a deep whiff. Only then did his expression ease a little.

"Young Master, when will you be returning?" Shen Cui asked a little hopefully.

These days without Fang Yuan around it had been hard on Shen Cui, haven gotten addicted to sex Shen Cui found herself daydreaming about the times she had sex with Fang Yuan. Not only this but she also heard from her mother how her request to have Shen Cui become Fang Zheng's servant had been turned down. When she heard about this she was scared silly, she had a big fight with her mother as she didn't have much of any interest in becoming Fang Zheng's woman anymore. In truth Shen Cui was conflicted, on one hand, her heart wanted to be with Fang Yuan but on the other hand, her mind wanted the status of being the wife of an A-grade Gu Master. Since her heart and brain were on opposite sides in this issue she decided to wait and let the situation develop on its own and see where the future takes her.

"No. I will not be returning." Fang Yuan answered.

"Young Master, why?" Shen Cui asked, her voice a little choked. She couldn't understand why Fang Yuan left so suddenly. Even though the people in the house paid less attention to him after finding out that he only had C-grade talent, they didn't in any way treat him unfairly.

"Shen Cui, if you keep being loyal to me, I will see to it that you are been taken care of." Fang Yuan dropped this sentence and left. There was no need for him to explain himself to a servant like Shen Cui.

Looking at how simply Fang Yuan left Shen Cui was a little hurt. But she was glad about one thing, she was glad that Fang Yuan mentioned being loyal to him, this meant that he still wanted her. Thinking about this a sweet smile formed on her lips.

Fang Zheng who saw all that happened from the second floor clenched his fist. Looking at Shen Cui who was smiling sweetly while watching his elder brother's departing back his eyes darkened a little. 'Elder brother, I swear, everything that belongs to you I will snatch it from you. Even your women.' Fang Zheng swore to himself.

...…

Mother Shen was having a tough time these few days. After falling for Fang Yuan's sweet words, she followed what he said and bought a lot of things for him, while buying those things she listened to what he said and purposely overstated their price thereby pocketing the difference amount herself. Later under Fang Yuan's persuasion, she hid these primeval stones in his newly bought furniture. But the little rascal took these primeval stones and left. On top of that, she was scolded by Aunt for buying so much new furniture for Fang Yuan. But how would she know that that useless brat would turn out to be C-grade trash? Luckily she was quick on her feet and told Aunt that they could simply repaint them and give them to Fang Zheng. This calmed Aunt down a little.

But the thing that pained Mother Shen the most was that her secret stash that she had hidden together with the other primeval stones in Fang Yuan's furniture had been taken away by Fang Yuan that little thief!

What's more, she couldn't say anything about this to anyone, as if this got out then the first one to be punished would be herself. And it was not guaranteed that Fang Yuan would be punished even if it got out as he could simply say that he didn't know anything about this at all.

'Ah! That secret stash of mine had more than ten primeval stones ah! Together with the primeval stones that I got from falsifying the account books of the house bit by bit and also from that recent furniture transaction, there were about nearly twenty primeval stones in total. AH! Everything was taken by that little brat, damn him.' Mother Shen thought as she gashed her teeth in hatred.

And nowadays for some reason, even her daughter was not listening to her. No matter how she told her to seduce Fang Zheng she would not do it. These distressed Mother Shen, as she did not know what had happened to her.

On top of all this, she was getting the feeling that the Old Granny assigned to Fang Zheng was obstructing her and her daughter from getting close to Fang Zheng and Aunt was even allowing this!

As such to get close to Fang Zheng today, she had gotten someone to mix some sleeping herbs in the Old Granny's dinner today. After confirming that the old hag had fallen asleep, Mother Shen went up to Fang Zheng's room.

Standing in front of Fang Zheng's room, Mother Shen tidied her appearance and then knocked on his door.

"Young Master Fang Zheng, the hot bathing water has been prepared for you."

Mother Shen deliberately said in a slow sensual voice. After getting Fang Zheng's permission she entered the room. She noticed that when Fang Zheng saw her his eyes widened and also a little bulge formed in his pants.

"Young Master Fang Zheng, you have been working hard these few days. Let this servant wash you and help you relax."

Mother Shen said this and turned around to lock the door, when she turned around to close the door she happened to see her daughter standing by the stairs and looking at her with wide eyes, her daughter naturally understood what she was planning to do by going to Fang Zheng's room so late in the night to bath him and also locking the door. Mother Shen's hands which were about to close the door trembled and paused a bit, she hesitated and closed her eyes, once she opened them there was no more hesitation in them, she firmly closed the door on her daughter's surprised face.

"Young Master Fang Zheng, tonight let this servant serve you."

Mother Shen turned around said with a sexy smile on her face.

...…

The next morning a piece of news circulated in the Fang House – Shen Cui along with three other servant girls had been sent to work in farms by Mother Shen. It was said that the mother and daughter had a huge fight and fell out ending their mother-daughter relationship.
