Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman Chapter 55

It's disheartening. When you see more comments on a site that has stolen your work, it tells you those readers spit on you. When they thank thieves for the chapter, have engrossing conversations, and support others...It tells us as creators that you do not care for the work we put in.

Out of all the large sites out there, JFB receives probably the least in terms of donations. Doesn't phase us. But the creators that provide you with chapters sometimes 5-10x a week, and you can't even read the chapter on the very platform they put their work on? That is another story. That is you disregarding everything that we are.

Some may ask, 'What is the point of continuing?', if you despise us so much. You rather read from thieves.

To those I see read on Fantasy-Books, with JFB every day, I thank you. I notice you. Sarcht, GonZ555, Mesmerised, Nisem, jppe, Belkar, LightDX, jhodyac, GM_Rusaku, DOHere, Shirou, and a few others. I've noticed you. You have supported Fantasy-books/JFB for a while just from your comments here and there.

And there are a few who have donated. It is you that keep us going. As for those few thousand people (yes, thousands) that spit on us, reading and thanking those that steal from us.

You disgust me. And I'm proud to tell you.

-Sincerely,

J.

“That bastard, living in plenty without appreciating!” Zhuang Weixian laughed and shook his head, again and again in envy, jealousy, and sympathy.

“Who are you? Why are you here?” Still having the smile on his face, his eyes suddenly met with a woman who stood in front of him while staring at him with eyes full on alert.

Zhuang Weixian could not help but be startled and blurted out, “And you might you be?” This lass was not a member of the Zhuang household.

That person was Liu Ya. The ladies and missies enjoying themselves in the garden of flowers had the Zhuang family’s own servants to serve them. Those servants who followed their masters over were led by the Zhuang family’s head servant to play nearby. Liu Ya accidentally spotted a person by the flower patch, and with a moment of curiosity, she went and approach him. Seeing that this person’s eyes were peered towards the ladies and missies in the garden, and he had a foolish smile on his face, Liu Ya became furious.

“That doesn’t matter!” Liu Ya raised her chin and spoke contemptuously, “You lecher, how dare you peek here! If the ladies and missies knew about it, they’ll be sure to expose you! Seeing that you look ordinary, I’m sure your heart is filthy! Leave quickly, otherwise, I’ll call for people!”

Lecher? Ordinary? Filthy heart? Zhuang Weixian could not help but laugh. If his mother were to hear this, how furious would she become?

However, he too was feeling angry!

“Do I really look that bad?” Zhuang Weixian grunted

and rubbed his chin. His appearance shouldn’t be far from Shi Fengju, right? No, definitely better than him by a little!

Shameless!

Liu Ya glared sternly at him and spoke impatiently, “Who cares about how you look, leave quickly! Otherwise, I’ll really call for someone! And when that happens, don’t blame me if you look a battered pig head! You have this vibe that reeks of books, so know when to retreat!”

Zhuang Weixian laughed, but suddenly wanted to play some jest and he smiled. Taking two steps back from Liu Ya, he gave a greeting and asked spoke, “I shall not hide it, but I’m currently lost in this area. Just now if I were any rude towards you, I hope that you would pardon me! I wonder, do you know the way around here?”

His sudden transformation startled Liu Ya and she quickly took two steps back before stuttering, “This, I, I’m not a person from this household. Even I do not know the way around. Where do you wish to go? Maybe I can help you ask someone who knows the way?”

Zhuang Weixian secretly laughed and he looked up to see three words “Lin Feng Ge” inscribed on a board which hung above the west pavilion and he spoke casually, “The Zhuang young master has arranged to meet me at Lin Feng Ge.”

Liu Ya was surprised for a moment and squinted at him, “Do you really need to go to Lin Feng Ge?”

“Yes ah!” Zhuang Weixian nodded lightly. Enduring the laugher within him, he sighed, “It’s a pity that the garden in this household is so huge that I’ve been trying to find it for quite some time already!”

Liu Ya grumbled and spoke bitterly at him, “Stop peeking at those missies in your free time! Isn’t that Lin Feng Ge? Those three large words, don’t tell me you didn’t see it!”

This time, it was Zhuang Weixian who got surprised. Having his joke be exposed made him somewhat embarrassed. Giving a dry laugh, he stammered a little, “You, you can read!”

Liu Ya grunted, “Yes! Is reading so amazing? Don’t think that because you’ve read a book or two and you can be so unrestrained! You think others are foolish? I think you’re certainly not a good person!” With that, she quickly glanced behind him to. That attracted Zhuang Weixian to turn his head to the back, and taking this chance, she quickly turned and ran away.

Fortunately, no one had spotted her! Otherwise, if someone were to see her together with a man in the Zhuang garden, it’s not just her face, but her Mistress and Ma’am that would be put to shame!

Seriously! Why was she so curious about others’ business!

Zhuang Weixian understood he had been fooled and he turned back again, only to see the back of the girl as she ran. He could not help but smile while shaking his head.

head. He was wise himself, but to be fooled by a little lass, seriously! Just which family’s lass was that; that courage of hers was not small.

Seeing that the ladies and missies were all getting up, he supposed they were heading to Yuhua Pavilion to watch a play. With that, Zhuang Weixian understood that the task assigned to him was barely completed and he brushed his sleeves before turning to leave.

Now at where the ladies and missies were, Sang Wan’s agile hands to calculate using the abacus stunned many and while the crowd were praising her, the four poetry were returned just in time after the judging by the few gentlemen. Mistress Zhuang’s eyes glistened again with huge hope that Tang Yuzhen could emerge victorious. But who would have known that all three men would choose Sang Wan’s work unanimously? Mistress Zhuang forced a smile as she rewarded the bottle of perfume personally to Sang Wan. “Really, you’ve made us fully convinced of your ability! This perfume is meant for you, just right! Come, try it a little to see if it’s of your taste!”

Sang Wan, in both lifetimes had never seen a western perfume. However, she had read a novel that had some relation to it. It was a comedy novel. It depicted a man, who lacked knowledge in goods, was given a bottle of western perfume. He wanted to have a whiff of it by pouring some out, but he did not know how to because of how cleverly the bottle was constructed. Seeing that there was a hole, the content could not be poured out, but only by pressing the lid would the nozzle squirt a fog of perfume. That man tried for a long time but nothing came out, and as a result was teased by others.

It was obvious that Mistress Zhuang would want to make fun of her.

Sang Wan, being cautious, knew that for things she was unfamiliar with, it was best not to display her unfamiliarity in front of Mistress Zhuang. With that, she laughed, “How can such an exquisite thing be bad? Mistress, you jest! Sang Wan likes it very much, thank you Mistress for your generosity!” Without waiting for Mistress Zhuang’s respond, Sang Wan kept the bottle and returned well-disciplined beside Wang Shi.

Mistress Zhuang smiled and spoke a few sentences politely before giving up.

Wang Shi’s nervous heart was finally at ease. Speaking of the bottle, Shi Fengju had once bought one as a show of respect to her before. She, Nanny Jiang, Xiu Li, Xiu Chun, had a joyous time trying to figure out how to use it. The liquid could be seen inside the bottle, but could not be poured out from the hole. At the end, when Xiu Li that lass pressed somewhere in the right place, the bottle sprayed and Xiu Chun was covered in the scent. That made her

made her scream and the master, and servants, could not help but laugh together!

Sang Wan’s whole family might not even be able to buy such a bottle of precious liquid, so there was no way she could have seen such a thing before. If things were to play by Mistress Zhuang’s words, then the Shi family would definitely be laughed at by the crowd.

A servant from the Yuhua Pavilion came to report; the play was ready. Mistress Zhuang bottled up her mood and invited everyone to the Yuhua Pavilion with a smile.

Either intentionally or not, more people began to gather around Wang Shi and Sang Wan as they took the initiative to put themselves in a good light. It was clear that they had accepted her as the woman to claim the position of being the Ma’am in the Shi family.

She had the intelligence and talent, no matter how capable Gu Fangzi was, there was no way she could exceed the Shi Ma’am. Wang Shi, although having no intentions to intervene in any matters and also dotes her own niece, was no fool. Otherwise, she would have insisted on the arranged marriage! It was visible that she would not allow a thing such as spoiling one’s concubine and neglect one’s wife to happen.

In other words, Sang Wan’s position in the family had been nailed to the wall! Taking advantage of a fledgling who would soon become the Mistress of the household, would, in the long run, make currying flavor much easier!

After entering the Yuhua Pavilion, the crowd got seated modestly and a few ladies went up to pick a play in unison. The curtains swung swiftly to a side and the play began with acting and vigorous singing. The atmosphere quickly turned for the better.

All the way until evening when the sun was about to set in the West, the guests all left for home one after another. Mistress Zhuang smiled as she personally went to send them off, but the smile could be said to be somewhat a little forced.

Back in the carriage, Wang Shi finally let out the laughter she had been holding in. Just thinking about Mistress Zhuang’s defeated face made her unable to hide the happiness in her heart.

“Today must have tired our Sang Wan out!” Wang Shi grinned. The more she looked at Sang Wan, the more satisfied she was, and she spoke generously, “These few**** have a good rest. No need to come and greet me! Whatever you wish to eat, just ask the kitchen to make, and whatever items you fancied, just have the housekeeper go and buy for you! Not saying anything, but money is not a problem in our house!”

Sang Wan knew her mother-in-law would say such a thing, and she quickly accepted and gave her thanks.

Who knew that the night before going to bed, Nanny Jiang had come again. Sang Wan did Sang Wan did not expect someone to come at such an hour. Picking up a jade hairpin, she tidied her hair and don an autumn-colored outerwear before rushing out to invite Nanny Jiang in.

Wang Shi, after returning home from Mistress Zhuang’s place, could not stop praising Sang Wan in front of Nanny Jiang. Being well-knowledgeable, Nanny Jiang had already expected that Ma’am would be emerge victorious. Upon seeing Sang Wan coming out to welcome her, she quickly smiled, “Ma’am, please head back quickly. You might catch a cold in this breezy night! Laonu isn’t worthy of Ma’am’s ceremony!”

Those polite words were only just for the heart to listen and not to be taken seriously. Sang Wan smiled and ordered a servant to bring a stool for Nanny Jiang to sit down. Tea was already served cleverly by Hong Ye, but Nanny Jiang was not in a hurry to sit nor receive the tea. She gave her thanks and took out a box which was a foot long before smiling, “Laonu was specially instructed by Mistress to send this box of supplements to Ma’am. They’re edible bird’s nest which are extremely good for the body. Mistress
said to have Ma’am instruct her servants to prepare it every night before sleep! ”

Sang Wan personally went to Nanny Jiang’s side to receive it and she spoke gratefully, “To have mother-in-law worry about such little things, I feel a little uneasy to giving her my thanks! It’s already very late tonight, I’ll go over tomorrow first thing in the morning to give my thanks to mother-in-law!”

Nanny Jiang laughed, “No wonder Mistress said Ma’am is a very sensible one. Among thousands of individuals, none can be compared to you! Mistress said it’s enough for Ma’am to accept it, no need to go over and thank her. Mistress sees you as a maiden, so you ah, no need to be so polite everytime! Mistress said that knowing you’ve that heart was enough for her!”

Sang Wan could only smile and settle back down before inviting Nanny Jiang to have some tea.

Thinking that Nanny Jiang would just speak of a few words before leaving, it was unexpected that she would actually sit to have tea while conversing with Sang Wan. Lots of words that came out were all to praise Sang Wan, about how much the mistress values her daughter-in-law, how much she cares for her, and much more. Sang Wan could only smile and respond appropriately.

After finally sending Nanny Jiang off with a smile, Sang Wan return to her chamber to have a rest. Liu Ya spread a mattress in front of the bed to accompany Sang Wan.

“Ma’am, this night, Nanny Jiang sure spoke a lot!” As usual, the master and servant had to gossip a little before going to sleep. Liu Ya continued rambling on, “Before, she doesn’t even have that many words to say!”
