Luo Jing Ying momentarily fell silent, probably not expecting that Jing Wan would just accept this easily. Others, if not like her mother, all kinds of nagging, it was just completely ignoring her. She quietly stared at Jing Wan. Actually, even now, she still didn’t understand too well why would someone like Luo Jing Wan exist in this world. How can she just easily forgive others? “This commoner heard that Luo Jing Ying in the past always targeted you, scheming against you, so how can you…………forgive her?”

Jing Wan helplessly smiled. Even now, still bothered about this? “Childish skirmishes, that’s all. Moreover, the days are lived through by oneself, whether it’s living comfortably and carefreely, or letting some random matters as well as negative emotions disturb one’s own life, the power to choose is in one’s own hands.”

“That’s why, in the end, it’s still not having that kind of minor character taken seriously?”

This is penetrating into a bull’s horn again?

“How she is, isn’t it unrelated to you, Si Ying? Or is it that because third aunt had you treated as her replacement, you’re unhappy? Setting aside third aunt, Luo Jing Ying is Luo Jing Ying, Luo Si Ying is Luo Si Ying, even you yourself all think this, then why still let the former Luo Jing Ying disrupt the current Luo Si Ying? Si Ying, you understand my meaning, right?”

Luo Jing Ying still quietly stared at Jing Wan. Afterwards, her tears unconsciously tumbled down, hurriedly wiping away. In reality, ever since waking up from her coma after attempting suicide, she has never once cried. Regardless of how violently her mother cried holding her, regardless of how she says she’s sorry to her, or in the future will properly take care of her, she all didn’t have the slightest stirring. Yet now, her tears fell this easily. She indeed denied her past, yet it was also just with her mouth. In her heart, she still deeply brooded over, else if she really denied, and really placed down, she wouldn’t be like this now.

“Many thanks wangfei.” Her mother also just harped on and on about those trivial matters. Once or twice, perhaps one would still be moved, but as the number of times increased, it would instead make one feel annoyed. Her mother wanted her to forgive her, but how should she forgive? Even if her mother had faults, it was still nothing more than just instilling in her some incorrect thoughts in the past. But she was also aware that the one that created that kind of outcome in the end was her herself. The more said, the more it would make her hate herself, taking her anger out on her mother in all kinds of ways. Just, in the past, she would scream and throw a tantrum, but now, it was just maintaining absolute silence. Turns out, she actually can thoroughly put down in exchange for a completely new life. “I had a dream, dreaming of Luo Jing Ying. She said, she owed wangfei an apology, and a thanks. Also, hoping wangfei can be safe and healthy, everything smooth throughout this life. This commoner bids farewell.”

Jing Wan nodded, “You too.”

Luo Jing Ying left. As for whether or not she will really start a new life, that can only depend on her herself.

Jing Wan returned to the inner courtyard again. Sun Yi Jia and Yuan Qiao Qiao were idly chatting. Seeing her, “That person just left this quickly?”

“Just a matter of a few words, and after saying, naturally just left.” Jing Wan sat down, “Having been away from the capital for half a year, what all has happened in the capital?”

“Actually, there’s nothing much really. Probably because of Jiangnan’s matter, his Majesty didn’t go to the imperial summer residence. In any case, because his Majesty’s mood wasn’t good, the imperial court and inner palace were all densely covered in dark clouds. Speaking of which, it also has nothing to do with us, and for someone like grandfather who wasn’t involved, all still very calm and composed. Besides this, it was probably just each grown prince all taking in at least one side consort, including fifth wangye. Actually, you also know, previously, they for the most part all didn’t have side consorts. This time, it was completely just his Majesty directly issuing the decree. What’s rather interesting is that their side consorts all came from the enemy faction. For instance, Rui Qinwang’s two side consorts, one came from an in-law family that was closely tied to the Ding Duke Manor, and one came from Guan Jun Marquis Manor and was Gong Wangfei’s tang younger sister. And that side consort of Kang Qinwang’s was the Right Commander-in-Chief Shen Shu Han’s niece. The others for the most part were all in similar situations. The one that was affected the least was probably just fifth wangye. After all, because of his weak body, he truly didn’t interfere in the court matters in the slightest. As such, whichever family’s daughter he took in was all irrelevant.”

Speaking of which, for these wangyes, leaving the side consort position, to a very large degree, it was for roping in connections through marriage in crucial moments. Now, it was picking up the rock and smashing one’s own foot.

“Just, pity those side consorts, purely becoming an abandoned chess piece of their clan, and as someone of the enemy faction, their husbands can’t possibly treat them kindly either. The ones that slightly had a bit of conscience perhaps would just treat as decoration and raise in the rear court, but if encountering the kind that will take their anger out on them, don’t know how they will be tormented.” Jing Wan’s voice was faint, and inwardly, towards Le Cheng Emperor’s action, condemned in disgust. This kind of method, aside from hurting those innocent women, what other use can there be? Even if restraining them from using marriage connections to rope in people, there will still be other methods. Really think that those sons of his can just become obedient?

“Indeed.” Sun Yi Jia sorrowfully lamented inside.

“Wan Wan, now that you all have returned, will his Majesty directly appoint a side consort or even two for Jin Qinwang? Jin Qinwang, no matter what, is his most favored son, so ultimately can’t ‘discriminate against’, right?” Yuan Qiao Qiao somewhat anxiously looked to Jing Wan.

“Jin Qinwang cursed wives. With that fate of his, to be able to encounter little sister Wan is already not bad. Setting aside those women of lowly status in the past, having no title and no name, to still want to hold left and right among the noble daughters? Keep dreaming! Having little sister Wan, this kind of wife, if he still does something sorry to little sister Wan, then should ought to be struck by lightning.” Sun Yi Jia said with a cold expression.

Yuan Qiao Qiao was somewhat astonished by Sun Yi Jia’s sudden change in attitude, “Yi Jia has complaint towards Jin Qinwang? Although in the past, his reputation was terrible, but ever since getting engaged with Wan Wan, there seemingly hasn’t been any rumors of him being involved with other women. Right now, from the looks of it, he’s also quite good towards Wan Wan, so shouldn’t our views towards him slightly change a little?”

“I don’t have complaint towards him. The one I have complaint towards is little sister Wan’s husband. As little sister Wan’s husband, no matter how much he does, it’s all not enough, and no matter how good, all not good enough.”

Never mind Yuan Qiao Qiao being speechless, even Jing Wan was a bit speechless. What’s this, seemingly her demands towards her own husband all wasn’t this high.

“You all also don’t need to worry. If something like this really were to happen, we will take care of it.” This while, Jing Wan actually recalled another matter. She probably can vaguely guess where she was ‘wrong’. She somewhat helplessly rubbed her temples. Encountering such a husband, really is………….such a sweet burden.

A certain someone always wanted her to frequently do a bit of something to prove her care towards him. Was this not having a sense of security or what? Not having a sense of security and whatnot, shouldn’t be too possible, right? After all, under this kind of backdrop, it’s not like she had the power to choose. She can’t get a divorce, and she can’t have a second spring. As long as he doesn’t let go, she can only be grasped in his hand. In the countryside, perhaps it was still possible for married women to elope with a lover, but for someone like her, to dare try, although on the surface, for the sake of face, won’t openly execute her entire family, but in secret, will absolutely kill off your whole family. Never mind the rate of success of eloping being extremely low, even if succeeding, and even if escaping to the ends of the earth, can still have you dragged out.

That’s why, the ones without a sense of security can only be women and not men! ———Right now, even she didn’t lack a sense of security, alright!

That’s why, this was purely him being weird inside!

Thinking to here, Jing Wan hooked the corner of her mouth, suddenly laughing. That man really made one increasingly cherish.

“What did you think of, suddenly laughing like this?” Sun Yi Jia couldn’t help but want to pinch her again.

Jing Wan brushed away her hand, “Move it, move it. Is there anything else?” That smile in the corner of her mouth was all unable to be restrained.

The two to the side glanced at one another. To having such stirrings of spring, it would be strange for it to be nothing. Looks like, Jin Qinwang towards her, perhaps, was even better than they’d thought. Fine, no need for them to worry then.

“As for additional matters, it’s probably just Zhong Qinwang Manor catching on fire. The casualties were quite disastrous. Ruan Fang Fei directly got burned into a charcoal. Zhong Qinwang’s other two side consorts similarly died. Just one died on the spot, and the other lived for a few more days. Zhong Qinwang can be considered quite fortunate, but the injuries were also very serious, to this day still recuperating. And Zhong Qinwang’s numerous children, although managed to preserve two or three, but all for the most part lost the ability to have children. As for Zhong Qinwang Manor’s servants, more than half died.”

Jing Wan’s breathing stopped for a moment, “Human caused?” If just an accident, why were the casualties this disastrous?
