“You all finally came, making me wait this long, but it’s also a good time, right now, I just happened to be quite bored.” Luo Jing Ying didn’t have the anger like when seeing them in the past, even waving her hand at them in a rather good mood.

This was just even more strange. This was losing one’s mind and going insane after losing one’s child? But, this completely wasn’t like what losing one’s mind should look like. For a moment, no one opened their mouth first.

Luo Jing Ying coldly sneered. She still remembers, after learning she was pregnant, what look these people had, and remembers after learning that she was pregnant yet lost favor, what kind of expression they had. And right now, they further wanted to throw stones at her. Previously because she still had her child, she carefully shielded, so even if she was arrogant and haughty, it was mostly still showing strength while weak inside, staying far away from them as much as possible. But now, she didn’t care about anything anymore. If others make her unhappy, then everyone will just be unhappy together.

However, right now, her body wasn’t good, temporarily unable to do anything. Once her body recovers………..

Sure enough, even if they momentarily didn’t open their mouth, as time passed, they still weren’t able to hold back the sarcastic remarks and mockery.

Prior to losing her child, Luo Jing Ying perhaps would still be easily angered by them, but now, she discovered, she actually didn’t feel anything at all. As a result, she even nonchalantly listened to them curse without using dirty words. Afterwards, when they seemingly finally discovered that something was off, she slowly opened her mouth, “Not going to say anymore? Then it’s my turn. I indeed have no favor, the child also gone, and the Luo family completely doesn’t care about me, these are all correct. Know why the Luo family doesn’t care about me? Because I was blind, not knowing what’s good for myself, stubbornly clinging to a lone path. Wangye wholeheartedly wants to rope in my grandfather, just unfortunately, grandfather simply never had the intention of casting himself under him, so wangye turned his ideas towards me, yet didn’t fully understand the situation clearly. In my grandfather’s heart, I don’t have any place at all. He probably further fancies Luo Jing Wan. Although Luo Jing Wan is hateful, she’s very accurate at judging people. Our wangye has probably never approached within ten feet of that third older sister of mine before.” As she spoke, she just began laughing, “Wangye has schemed in every possible way to cling onto the Luo family, and I’m precisely that thread that’s equivalent to nothing. However, if I die, this thread will just be thoroughly cut. Perhaps, grandfather can even use this opportunity to be at odds with wangye. Oh, thinking of it like this, I actually still have a bit of use.” Carrying a smile, her eyes even glistened somewhat. “What kind of person is wangye, we all should be clear. If you all make him thoroughly lose his opportunity with the Head Minister of Appointments, don’t know what it will be like? Really makes one look forward to.”

The few women were alarmed. Luo Jing Ying was using death to threaten them, and wangye’s true nature, they indeed knew. They originally thought that it was better if she died, but if what she says is true, then she can’t die. That kind of feeling, like as if having a fish bone stuck in the throat, really was terrible.

“This is the qinwang manor, would a person dying even get leaked out? It’s not like the Luo family cares about you, so even if you become dust, the Luo family still won’t know.” Towards Luo Jing Ying’s argument, one of the women expressed disdain.

“Is that so, then let’s just try, and see whether or not my mother will suddenly remember me.”

Several people were left speechless, their throats congealing. A mother really wasn’t able to forget their own child that easily. For her to have not shown any concerns so far, it was probably having gotten suppressed by the mother-in-law. But who can guarantee that there won’t be a day when things loosen up. Never mind the ones among them that didn’t have a maiden family, even if they have a maiden family, they definitely still can’t contend against the Head Minister of Appointments.

Seeing them swiftly leave, Luo Jing Ying laughed out loud, laughing very carefreely, yet in their ears, it was very piercing. “Could it be that she really dares to commit suicide?”

“Once you lose everything, you will know whether she dares or not. However, if it’s you, dying would be just that, won’t even get a single spray of flower.”

Luo Jing Ying laughed and laughed, yet laughed until tears fell, her voice coming to a stop, “All of you get lost.”

Luo Jing Ying right now, her entire person was all chillingly sinister. The people serving her also wished they could stay far away, thus swiftly got lost.

When it was just her remaining, Luo Jing Ying curled up her body and silently cried. Towards her days at the Luo Manor, she endlessly missed. Even if repeatedly getting violently angered by Luo Jing Wan to the point of exploding, right now, it all felt wonderful recalling. Towards her, she still envied, and still hated, yet still honestly missed. At that time, when she(JW) learned that she(LJY) was about to enter Rui Qinwang Manor, seeing that lofty and arrogant look of hers, she(JW) was probably mocking her(LJY) in her(JW) heart, right? No, that’s not right, she has always looked down on her, never having her taken seriously. Perhaps it was just like looking at a joke.

A few months, it was only just a few months. Recalling herself at the time, thinking of becoming the most honorable woman in the world, letting everyone crawl under her feet, and letting those that looked down on her plea in remorse, it really was too naive, too laughable.

When she first lost favor, she even thought of wanting to win back, but now, she didn’t even feel like seeing that man anymore. Without experiencing, one will never know exactly how cruel reality was.

If able to give her another chance, she would rather avoid Luo Jing Wan and find a well-matched family to marry into.

This was a realization that she didn’t even have the moment prior to losing her child. Otherwise, after hearing about Jing Wan’s grand coming-of-age ceremony, it wouldn’t have just caused her to have a miscarriage. Of course, this matter was just the trigger. In the end, it was still because she’d bled on more than one occasion, destabilizing the fetus, and no matter how firm of a fetus, it still wasn’t able to withstand such repeated torment.

However, from hereon out, in the Rui Qinwang Manor rear court, Luo Jing Ying just revealed her formidable fighting power. Whenever she learned that someone was scheming against her in the dark, since she doesn’t know how to play in the dark, she just brought it onto the surface, suddenly charging into your room thoroughly smashing everything, else it was just taking a hairpin, appearing weak and fragile, and when you’re off guard, just sliced towards your face, and if not, it was just suddenly running out, ramming with all her strength, having you bumped into the waters. All kinds of incidences like these, even if stopped again and again, and the same thing also won’t happen a second time, but Li Hong Ming also knew that she absolutely can’t die. If they were to have her locked up, she will immediately just use all kinds of methods to attempt suicide, becoming more ruthless each time. Li Hong Ming’s face darkened several times, and just gave up, throwing it all to Rui Wangfei to take care of.

At Rui Wangfei’s place, Luo Jing Ying was actually rather perceptive, and towards Rui Wangfei, she just said to help her have Li Hong Ming kept in the main courtyard, and not let the other women get involved. Even if Rui Wangfei no longer has any feelings towards Rui Qinwang, this was still quite enticing. Thus she tacitly agreed.

Luo Jing Ying no longer stirred up a storm on normal days, but whenever she finds out that Rui Qinwang had spent the night at a certain concubine’s place, that concubine will certainly get troubled. With Rui Wangfei secretly helping in the dark, those concubines all got messed with very miserably.

And when Li Hong Ming found out, it was because Luo Jing Ying loved him too deeply, so him going to the others’ places, she will just go crazy from jealousy, and only the wangfei she was truly unable to touch, thus would give up. Men, in this aspect, would always have that bit of vanity. Since there weren’t any women in the rear court he cared about, in addition to things being particularly unsmooth outside for him, with careless mistakes appearing everywhere, already having gotten reprimanded by Le Cheng Emperor more than once, getting burned badly in the head, he also just took a laissez-faire attitude, and really didn’t enter a concubine’s room for several months.

And Luo Jing Ying, because of her miscarriage, and no one giving her proper maintenance, lingering ailments remained, taking root. If she were to just remain calm and at ease, perhaps it would just affect child bearing, but she never settled down for a moment, her body getting ruined day by day. However, she didn’t care either………….

Of course, these were all later stories.

A few days after Jing Wan’s coming-of-age ceremony was the double ninth festival[1], so the tradition of climbing a mountain can’t be missing.

Li Hong Yuan further unrestrainedly visited the Luo Manor directly that day to pick up the person.

Just a few days ago, Luo Old Madam had already gotten ‘angered’ by him once, so she just impatiently let the person go.

Jing Wan got taken to an ‘uninhabited’ place by him and got ruthlessly ‘bullied’ again. Afterwards, in high spirits, he took Jing Wan to join the crowd climbing the mountains, and they actually played around quite carefreely.

The next day, Jing Wan received two news front to back. The first one was that Chen Zheng Min and Li Ru Yu will be marrying in ten days, and second one was Sun Yi Lin getting appointed to a post outside of the capital.

Regardless of which news, they all came rather suddenly. Although Chen Zheng Min and Li Ru Yu’s marriage was something that will happen sooner or later, but previously there was no movements at all. The three documents and six rites, the procedures in front, not a single one had been heard of, so directly getting married in ten days’ time, with no news on the betrothal gift either, didn’t that just make one surprised.

And also Sun Yi Lin. He’d been perfectly fine as the inner court scribe, and even if because of the contributions from the trip to the west, needing a promotion, there still seemingly weren’t any need to leave the capital to an outer post. Moreover, right now, the Ding Duke Manor was in the middle of an internal struggle. How many people all turned to rely on him, yet now, clapping his hands and just leaving like this, what will those people do?

Jing Wan furrowed her brows, seemingly puzzled, yet seemingly also understanding.

[1] Double Ninth Festival – Takes place on the ninth of the ninth lunar month, hence the name, also known as the Yang Festival. Since there’s a wiki page for it, just go read about it there, I’m too lazy to explain.

T/N: Luo Jing Ying’s story arc is actually a lot like the first life of those rebirth revenge novel MCs.
