A Generous Hand (2)

“That is a good girl. I originally already said before that I would first pretend to interfere in Yi Jia’s marriage, but the will of heaven is fickle. On Jia’er’s marriage, there was completely no room for the Sun family to interfere. However, for her to be able to obtain this kind of good marriage fate in the end is truly of great joy. Between you and Luo third miss, there originally weren’t any possibilities, but now, it’s different. This is a perfect opportunity, and the people of Kang Qinwang’s faction all won’t oppose, even if the Empress further wants for Luo third miss to be Kang Qinwang’s next wangfei. But from the Luo family’s point of view, you’re naturally the optimal choice. I believe the Empress won’t be too stubborn either. Tomorrow, I will enter the palace for a visit.”

“Many thanks grandmother.” Sun Yi Lin was unable to contain his joy.

“I’ve wasted away my entire life in this family and in this rear court. If I’m able to see you two siblings live in happiness, then I can also be considered to have found some consolation. Yi Lin, towards you, I’ll still say the same thing I’ve said to Yi Jia, to be able to have your desire fulfilled, you need to cherish your good fortune.”

“Don’t worry grandmother, this grandson understands. If this grandson is able to take Luo third miss as one’s wife, this grandson will definitely treat her well.”

“En, I believe you.” Towards those that she clearly know won’t listen to her, including her own son, she was all too lazy to say more.

With his grandmother’s help, this matter for the most part was sure to succeed. However, without the final confirmation, Sun Yi Lin still couldn’t help but feel nervous inside. Fortunately, this didn’t show on the outside.

When Sun Yi Jia came over, she just happened to run into Sun Yi Lin outside, who was about to leave.

Sun Yi Jia’s eyes turned, hinting for the people behind to distance themselves. “For fifth brother to personally come find grandmother, is it because of little sister Wan?” And after receiving Sun Yi Lin’s affirming nod, Sun Yi Jia contemplated for a moment, “I feel there are some word that it’s still best for me to tell fifth brother. Do you still remember that day you got drunk, and I went to the Luo Manor? Little sister Wan said quite a few things to me, but because at the time, little sister Wan had already gotten engaged, it wasn’t necessary for me to tell you those words, but now it isn’t the same anymore……..” Sun Yi Jia recounted Jing Wan’s original meaning as much as possible.

Sun Yi Li unconsciously clenched his fist, “It’s not wrong for her to have misgivings. Isn’t this Ding Duke Manor precisely a dragon’s lair, tiger’s den. If possible, I also don’t want to stay here either.” At this time, Sun Yi Lin secretly made a decision inside.

“In reality, I feel there’s still something even more important. Little sister Wan is a good person, gentle and considerate, and often times, even kindhearted. But towards certain things, she’s actually colder and more heartless than anyone. In my eyes, marrying her perhaps isn’t the hardest. The hardest is actually how to obtain her heart. When it comes to feelings, little sister Wan possesses an extraordinary level of rationality. She wants Jing Bo to treat me well, she wants Jing Bo to only be with me in this entire lifetime. Fifth brother, you understand what I mean, right?”

Sun Yi Lin smiled, “Younger sister already said it this clearly, if I still can’t understand, then won’t I be too stupid? When either she or I finish walking through this life, right before one closes one’s eyes as death approaches, she genuinely falls for me, then that is enough.”

Sun Yi Jia froze in shock. A lifetime was too long, unforeseen changes can appear at any time. Words of promise from the mouth all can become empty words. Fifth brother was wanting to use a lifetime to gamble. Even if little sister Wan only comes to believe him when one of them is approaching one’s end, he is still willing to endure this hardship gladly. “I never once thought that fifth brother would actually be the stubborn type in love.”

Sun Yi Lin just smiled.

Jing Wan didn’t care what her future husband would be like. If from the start, there already wasn’t the slightest hope, then she will be a qualifying virtuous wife and loving mother, but aside from this, don’t think about obtaining anything more from her. But if in the beginning, you give her hope, and then have that hope shattered, then she will only be cold and unyielding to the end. Just as Luo Jing Bo said, if under normal circumstances you make a mistake that she can’t tolerate, perhaps there’s still the possibility redeem yourself. But if you give your promise, then go back on those words, then no matter how hard you try, you all won’t be able to obtain her forgiveness. What Jing Wan insisted actually wasn’t all that much, really, just that tiny bit, that’s all.

After Sun Yi Lin left, Sun Yi Jia went to go see Sun Old Madam. The words she was unwilling to say to the Ding Duchess, she both bashfully and happily said to Sun Old Madam.

“A pair for a whole lifetime, that is something ordinary commoners can dream about, though it is also nothing more than the conditions at home not allowing it. But if one has money, and can afford to raise, how many men can restrain themselves?”

“Grandmother, I believe in Jing Bo.”

TN: All

“En.”

Sun Yi Jia stayed at Sun Old Madam’s place even longer.

At the banquet feast for her return, Luo Jing Bo was once again drowned in wine, directly unable to get up. Sun Yi Jia heartached endlessly, having him supported back to her original courtyard, personally tending to him. All the way until the sun neared the western mountains did the two finally leave the Ding Duke Manor. As for the irritating people they encountered, and the stuffy words they heard during this period, Sun Yi Jia all ignored. And as for the yiniang of that shu younger sister that nearly ripped the hundred birds facing the phoenix painting coming to beg her, letting her plea to her mother to release that shu younger sister, Sun Yi Jia just gave her a cold smile.

Afterwards, Sun Yi Jia just heard her cold threat. For her(SYJ) to be this ruthless, what will happen if her husband were to know?

Sun Yi Jia did hesitate for a moment, but ultimately, she still held onto her own thoughts. She didn’t believe, Jing Bo won’t stand on her side, and really think she’s a ruthless person.

As expected, after Luo Jing Bo learned of this matter, he laughed and just said she was now someone from the Luo family, the matters of her maiden family, don’t need to bother with that much. Afterwards, he ended up forgetting about the thing he wanted to ask previously.

When they returned to the Luo Manor, Sun Yi Jia saw the same as usual Jing Wan, and couldn’t help but reach out and rub her head. Jing Wan slightly shifted her head, and rather skeptically looked to her. The Jing Wan right now finally made Sun Yi Jia truly feel she was still just fourteen years old. Thinking back to those fourteen year old girls she’d encountered in the past, what were they like again? If not naive and pure, unaware of the affairs of the world, then it was just daggers hidden in smiles, deep with schemes. Turns out, little sister Wan was just an abnormality, a kind that made one want to cup her in one’s palm.

“Eternal devotion for a lifetime, you will also have.”

Jing Wan just smiled, declining to comment. Looks like her older brother really was very honest towards his wife, telling her everything. That idiot, not properly seizing the most opportune chance to obtain his wife’s affection, instead dragging her, this younger sister, in during their honeymoon period, if that’s not spoiling the mood, then what is? As expected, he was just a numbskull. However, from the looks of it, this sister-in-law of hers also said quite a bit to her(SYJ) own older brother. And what all did Sun Yi Lin promise her?

…….

Sun Old Madam, who very rarely entered the palace, passed on her plaque to the palace early in the morning, seeking to meet with the Empress.

The explanation Sun Old Madam gave the Empress was, the first time she saw Luo family’s third miss, she already liked her very much, and at the time, wanted to let her be Sun Yi Lin’s wife. Just the disparity between their statuses was too big, and moreover, Luo Old Madam already picked a family for her, so one could only give up. But unexpectedly, Luo third miss got her engagement cancelled, and right now, was also being pursued by the various high nobles. Thus, she naturally can also become Sun Yi Lin’s wife. She may have numerous grandsons, but the one she cared about the most was just that one. In addition, Sun Yi Lin’s marriage has dragged on for a long time. This current one has the same hobby and interest as him. There isn’t a better option than this, perhaps this is also the will of heaven.
