Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
-
chapter-215-1
However, very unfortunately, Jing Wan’s words, even if in the Falling Plum Blossom Residence, it was still very effective.
Seeing Jing Wan’s firm eyes, not carrying the slightest wave, Hong Lian also knew begging her was useless, crawling to grab onto Luo Rong Yan’s leg, who came in behind Jing Wan. “Second master, save this servant, miss wants to beat this servant to death. For better or worse, this servant is your person. Miss is completely not having you taken seriously, second master, second master……………”
Even near death, she still dared to incite disharmony, and moreover, did it this openly and brazenly. However, did she care? Of course, she didn’t care.
Sun Yi Jia seemingly just noticed Hong Lian’s existence, and also finally recognized her. Even if there was someone forcibly trying to shove a concubine for her husband, she all didn’t have the slightest emotion, because she knew what the final outcome will be. But now, she was strangely furious, her face carrying frost, and not just towards Hong Lian, but also her own mother. At the time, what kind of intentions did her mother have when choosing such a person for her? Even if under normal circumstances, as long as one genuinely cared for one’s daughter, one definitely wouldn’t pick this kind of person, right? Sun Yi Jia deeply inhaled a breath, calming her emotions. That person, it was best not to think about.
——Compared to her fifth brother, she was already too fortunate. Not just because she married the person she liked, and the person she liked, as well as her entire in-law family, were all very good to her, and would even continue to be good, but because she was a married daughter. She was able to not go see her mother, not go face her, and there still wouldn’t be anyone saying she’s unfilial, but her fifth brother couldn’t!Sun Yi Jia lowered her eyes again. Those two servant girls’ slave contracts were both given to little sister Wan, so just let little sister Wan take care of.
For a young miss to punish her father’s tongfang, if word gets out, it would definitely greatly affect her reputation. Moreover, right now, there were outsiders present. However, even so, so what? For an unmarried young lady, a good reputation was mostly for the sake of a good husband, a good in-law family. Little sister Wan simply didn’t have this worry. Jin Qinwang, that person……….will fully support little sister Wan to the end. Sun Yi Jia had this kind of perception.
Luo Rong Yan right now was very awkward. His upbringing didn’t allow for him to kick away the woman hugging his leg, “Wan Wan……….”
Jing Wan revealed a chilling smile, “What, father can’t bear and want to shield her?”
Luo Rong Yan silently looked to Jing Wan. His relationship with his own daughter was becoming increasingly worse, that kind of feeling really was………Clearly knowing where the problem was, he also wanted to work hard to change, and right now, he was also diligently handling matters in the Ministry of Revenue. The yiniang’s rooms, he all didn’t visit once, yet for some strange reason, this accident with Hong Lian happened. Originally, he was thinking, since this was someone from his daughter’s courtyard, and his wife was also a stupidly softhearted one, just wait until after his daughter returns to deal with. His wife, towards their daughter, can be considered to ‘obey every word’. But looking at it now, it would’ve been better for him to have just taken care of it earlier, so as to not affect his daughter’s reputation. “Wan Wan thought too much. ——–What are you all standing around for, have the person taken down.”
Hong Lian just got forcibly dragged down by two rough labor servant women.
With this protective umbrella gone, Hong Lian seemingly still wanted to grab the last life saving straw, and that was just more or less the one that belonged to the true saintly mother level, Zhang-shi, “Madam, madam, save me, this servant will serve you like a cow, like a horse…………”Zhang-shi’s expression wavered a bit, but when her own daughter looked over, Zhang-shi just moved her mouth, yet not a single word came out. For her daughter to get this angry, it was still for the sake of protecting her. If she were to stand on her opposing side, wouldn’t that just be not knowing what’s good or bad for oneself? Moreover, she kept feeling, if she were to open her mouth at this time, her daughter in the future will probably just ignore her. She knew she wasn’t a qualifying mother. If she can’t give her children any assistance, then it was just striving to not be a burden to them.
“You most likely won’t find anyone that will save you.” Jing Wan looked to Hong Lian who was deathly clinging onto the door frame and coldly said.
Jing Wan rather wasn’t interested in looking into exactly what kind of method she used to climb onto the bed. After all, it was nothing more than just those methods. She actually didn’t doubt that her father did it voluntarily. Towards the people by his children’s side, he won’t put his hands on them. This bit of moral principle, he still has.
In Hong Lian’s dread, there was also overflowing hatred mixed in, and she immediately turned to cursing loudly, such as something something hypocrites, malicious, the man a thief, the woman a prostitute, and so on. Afterwards, she just got her mouth stuffed, and just in the courtyard outside, pressed onto the ground and ruthlessly beaten.
Jing Wan watched the entire process, and moreover, directly faced Hong Lian’s malicious gaze, and also that distorted expression from the pain of getting beaten. Although her mouth was stuffed, everyone was all able to sense it, all the way until the end, when Hong Lian just had one breath remaining. Whether or not she will survive, it all wasn’t within Jing Wan’s scope of concern.
After dealing with Hong Lian, Jing Wan placed her gaze onto her maternal aunt and them, who seemingly appeared to have been frightened.
“At Chengde Imperial Residence, Changping Marquis Manor’s young miss wanted to be a concubine for my third brother. I wasn’t happy, and that girl lost half her life. And in this lifetime, afraid all unable to marry. Her father, Changping Marquis’s, noble title and rank was also yielded to someone else.” Jing Wan spoke, like an ancient well without the slightest ripple. Although she was just stating a fact, saying it like so, the meaning just completely changed, and she just became that main culprit of disaster. “Perhaps people’s status and position have very big disparities, however this isn’t my only standard in judging people. Whether noble or lowly, this wasn’t just on the outside, but further on the inside. To willingly lower oneself to be someone’s concubine, then don’t blame others for looking down on you. Outsiders, I won’t comment, and other branches’ people, I have no right to interfere, but just in our Luo family’s second branch, if any relatives dares to try and have a girl sent in as a concubine, let’s first have the familial relations severed, then have the slave contracts signed. The first day the person enters, the next day I’ll return them a corpse.”
“This child, this child………….” Gu Zhang-shi, tremblingly pointed to Jing Wan, but facing Jing Wan’s complete indifference, she knew her usual methods won’t have an effect, so she just had her arrow targeted towards Zhang-shi, saying as she wiped her tears, “Younger sister, this perfectly fine young lady, how come got raised into such a state by you, this girl’s three principles and four virtues…….”
(T/N: Basically she married into the Gu family so her husband’s surname is in front, like how Jing Wan’s mother would be Luo Zhang-shi and Luo Old Madam is sometimes referred to as Luo Chen-shi.)
“Maternal aunt, don’t say this kind of thing. I was raised by grandmother, and towards me, she’s very satisfied. Are you trying to question my grandmother here? This is the Luo family, and the head of the family is the Head Minister of Appointments. Grandmother may not be overseeing the household, but her words, no one dares to disobey. You’re merely a relative staying as a guest in the Luo family. If she’s unhappy and kicks you out, the one losing face would be you or her?”
Gu Zhang-shi’s complexion went pale, not daring to continue criticizing on this bit.
“Also, don’t endlessly cry all day. Here, there’s no one that can be conquered with tears and delicateness. My father isn’t that kind of person either. You don’t even know how ugly this appearance of yours is…………”
“You, you, you………” Like as if getting her wound stabbed, Gu Zhang-shi became increasingly stirred up.
“You resent my mother for stealing your marriage fate, and already almost twenty years, yet still constantly think about my father. Say, if maternal uncle-in-law were to know, what kind of ending will you have?” Jing Wan smiled, yet her eyes were a sheet of ice, continuing to trample.
T/N: My feelings after translating this part is just AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH; Jen really hated translating this chapter. Aiyaa this whole family of white lotuses have suddenly filled me with murderous rage.
