“Since Wan Wan is saying it like this, then I, this old woman, will just meddle in other’s business one more time.” Who let this granddaughter be the treasure cupped in her palm. Besides, this granddaughter of hers wasn’t just saying for the sake of her eldest sister-in-law, but similarly for the sake of the Luo family. The Luo family right now doesn’t appear prominent, but in the future, if no mishap occur, fresh flowers on top of brocade, blazing flames against oil, all won’t be an understatement. For all things, one must exercise cautious. Some things, if ignored now, completely indulging, then in the future, it’ll inevitably intensify, and will likely be taken advantage of by others.

“Will be troubling grandmother, but it’s best to not result in death. Regardless of whether it’s the big one or the little one, especially the little one, because of not having its own power to choose, truly innocent.” In Jing Wan’s eyes, it was best to just not get pregnant, and if pregnant, then don’t easily abort. If because of having no other choice, it was still okay, but if purely for the sake of certain benefits, and ruthless abort, only to immediately continue on with one’s own way, planting ill karma again, in the end, letting women come bear the pain again, then it was absolutely unforgivable.

“Your thoughts, would I not know? Don’t worry, this time, just treat it as giving him a lesson. If purely because of fearing that it will affect his future prospects, he just abort the child and kill that tongfang, then this kind of person isn’t worth cultivating. Even if temporarily upholding the family status, it won’t last long either.”

Jing Wan suddenly recalled the Pei clan leader, having eagerly sought after fame and profit his whole life, viewing benefit above all else, continuously waving the banner of ‘for the family clan’, yet in the end………….

Prior to them returning to the capital, reportedly, he’d already fallen ill, for the most part, unable to get up again.

“Enough, don’t bother over these trivial matters. In Jin Qinwang Manor, merely some mundane chores and miscellaneous tasks, you still have a bunch of people helping out, yet when returning to the maiden home, you end up worrying about this and that, how is this appropriate? If wangye were to know, perhaps in the future, he’ll forbid you from returning.” Luo Old Madam patted Jing Wan’s hand, “Go then.”

“He wouldn’t dare.” Jing Wan very firmly retorted.

“Whether he dares to or not, you are the most clear inside.” Luo Old Madam teased.

Jing Wan immediately just withered a little. That bastard really would dare. Although normally, for the most part, it was always her having the final say, but once a certain someone start to act stubborn, she really was unable to change his mind.

Luo Old Madam’s teasing expression was more and more obvious. Jin Qinwang, that kind of person, from his certain actions and conduct, one was able to tell that he was someone with absolute dominance, and moreover, had a very strong desire of control. If not he himself being willing, to let him listen to others for all things, practically was just a pipe dream. It was precisely because of understanding this bit, and knowing that towards Jing Wan, he accommodated, indulged, and pampered, Luo Old Madam would thus feel increasingly satisfied. Encountering that kind of a husband, if one’s resolution was not firm enough, one really would very easily be spoiled rotten.

And once spoiled rotten, one’s personality will very likely become different. In a certain sense, one will very easily become disliked. That way, all the pampering might get withdrawn entirely. If from the start, one just didn’t obtain, it was still okay, but to have obtained, and then get heartlessly stripped of, that was a very cruel thing.

Regardless of how a person’s personality changes, even if going from one extreme to another, if one were to always have someone be the same towards one from beginning to end, that would be an even more unbelievable matter. In this aspect, Luo Old Madam actually has never said anything to Jing Wan before. Firstly, this granddaughter, even if spoiled rotten, wouldn’t be that terrible either, and secondly, perhaps from the bottom of her heart, she actually looked forward to seeing this granddaughter of hers be spoiled rotten.

Elegant Haitang Residence was still preserved as before. If no mishap occurs, in six to seven years, this courtyard will be given to Xuan’er to live in.

The so called mishap would be if the two head elders of the Luo family both pass away within these years, and the brothers of the Luo family divide up the family, and the second branch move out of this manor.

However, the possibility of this mishap should be relatively small, but Jing Wan still pondered in her mind to later let Gong Jiu come to the Luo Manor and take the two elders’ pulse. Towards Gong Jiu’s medical skills, Jing Wan, at present, increasingly relied on.

When Jing Wan reached Elegant Haitang Residence, sure enough, Sun Yi Jia and Yuan Qiao Qiao were both waiting there.

“Greetings wangfei.” The two of them fairly orderly greeted.

Clearly a very normal matter, yet Jing Wan suddenly felt quite astonished. “Enough, both of you. This is deliberately trying to make fun of me?”

The two of them, upon hearing, straightened their bodies, laughing along, “Right now, you’re a true and honest qin-wangfei. As the saying goes, ‘etiquette cannot be abandoned’.”

“Fine, then you two can just squat there. Even if kneeling, I also won’t mind. In any case, I’m a qin-wangfei, right? Able to accept, and won’t fear having my life shortened.” Jing Wan brushed her sleeve, preparing to sit down.

“To say you’re fat, you even start panting.” Sun Yi Jia said as she prepared to pinch her.

Jing Wan hurriedly dodged. The three of them just laughed into a ball. That bit of estrangement brought about by status, in that instant, disappeared without a trace.

A good while later, they finally sat down to chat.

“Truthfully speaking, seeing that appearance of Wan Wan’s previously, really felt like no longer of the same world as us, having both grandeur and prestige, letting one not dare to offend. I really was scared that the relationship between us will from hereon grow apart.” Yuan Qiao Qiao had a bit of sorrow inside. If things really became like that, it really would be quite regretful.

“You’re thinking too much. What kind of person little sister Wan is, would we not know? For the sake of the imperial family as well as Jin Qinwang’s prestige, upholding the image on the surface should be expected. But in private, never mind a qin-wangfei, even if………….I think little sister Wan will still be little sister Wan. This bit will never change.” Sun Yi Jia actually adapted quite well. After all, she once came in contact with quite a few people from the imperial clan before. There were many people that perhaps really changed, but some things ultimately won’t change.

The words in the middle that Sun Yi Jia vaguely skipped over, Yuan Qiao Qiao didn’t understand, but Jing Wan understood. Was this merely an analogy, or did this sister-in-law plus best friend detected something?

Sun Yi Jia just happened to meet Jing Wan’s gaze, smiling, but didn’t say anything.

Sun Yi Jia right now, regardless of whether it was towards the inside or towards the outside, her entire temperament has all softened a lot. If compared with the her prior to meeting Jing Wan, those who were unaware definitely would think that they were two different people. In the past, she was coldly prideful and distant, a flower of the high peaks. Now, she was gentle and sweet-tempered, yet also straightforward and efficient in handling matters. Perhaps she still didn’t like dealing with people, but it didn’t mean that she was just not good at dealing with people. Moreover, the second branch didn’t need to manage the entire Luo family’s daily affairs. As such, she was still very idle. Majority of the times, it was just taking care of her husband and child. And only when going out and coming across a very formal occasion would she paint her face to cover up the scar on her face. When at home, for the most part, it was all without makeup. The people of the Luo family were all accustomed to it.

Sun Yi Jia can be said to have very cleanly severed her ties with the people and matters of her past. Originally, it was precisely because of her personality that the people currying favor and fawning over her were numerous, yet genuine friends were for the most part nonexistent. After ruining her beauty and marrying, and because the husband she married also didn’t need her to network and pull in relations, those people naturally just got thoroughly severed. Her mother, the Ding Duchess, was still ill, unable to get well, and temporarily didn’t have signs of dying. She rather wanted to go back for a look, but unfortunately, the few times she went back, her grandmother didn’t even leave her for a meal, just having her sent off, letting her peacefully live out her own days. As for that pile of troublesome matters in the Ding Duke Manor, don’t look, don’t question, and don’t bother with.

The Ding Duke Manor right now really was quite chaotic. Because Sun Old Madam was still present, those brothers of the Ding Duke were all still living in the manor, and each and every one all inherited the old Ding Duke’s rotten personality, lustful and loose, so naturally there were lots of children. Between the brothers of the previous generation, between the zhoulis, between the brothers and sisters of the younger generation, between the tang brothers and sisters, and also including the cousins outside, without a person in charge to hold the lines, each and every one all wanted to fight for power. The ones that already had conflict to begin with, instantly erupted by a hundred-fold. And the men, while busy with the matters outside, not only fought with the other factions, internally for the sake of wielding power, each and every one all exerted their strength.

Everything else aside, just that eldest brother of Sun Yi Jia’s, because Sun Yi Lin was away, just thought of thoroughly having the Ding Duke Manor grasped in hand, but who knew, that di second brother, who has always had an extremely weak presence, would suddenly emerge. Originally someone that didn’t make a sound, yet unexpectedly, also grasped quite a bit of power. The brothers fighting amongst themselves was like fire and water. If not you dying and me living, then absolutely won’t give up.

After Sun Yi Jia learned a bit of news, she just no longer cared. In any case, in her eyes, the Ding Duke Manor sooner or later will be done for, and the Sun clan, to still be able to maintain a third-rate noble family status was already not bad.
