Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-99-2

A great majority of people felt it was good, but there were also those that were sour with jealousy inside. There were also some noble and exalted princesses and junzhus who simply didn’t take her seriously at all inside. And also, if one were to carefully look, one would notice Ruan Fang Fei with a somewhat strange expression, absentmindedly tearing her brocade handkerchief. The depths of her eyes were filled with a kind of desire to ‘destroy’. Naturally, there were also people like Luo Jing Ying and Li Ru Yu, whose complexions were deathly pale.

Luo Jing Ying unconsciously looked towards Li Ru Yu. That look in Li Ru Yu’s eyes, wishing to eat her alive, made Luo Jing Ying violently shudder, feeling endlessly afraid inside. It was her that solemnly vowed that Luo Jing Wan definitely didn’t know a single one of the four arts and poetry. Moreover, just those hands of hers, which part looked like hands that have touched a qin before. Never mind frequently playing the qin, for anyone whose qin skills were considered not bad, their fingers will inevitably have calluses. Even Sun Yi Jia and Ruan Fang Fei weren’t exceptions. But who knew, who knew………..

At the same time feeling dreadful and afraid, Luo Jing Ying’s hatred towards Jing Wan also deepened. She must have done it deliberately, deliberately hiding it, wanting to shock the world at an opportune time, and further wanting to use this to harm her!

Luo Jing Ying never once reflected, if not for her schemes, Jing Wan wouldn’t have walked up on stage, and perhaps will have never made it known that she can play the qin.

Li Ru Yu went forward in a few steps, grabbing Luo Jing Ying’s arm and using a lot strength, “Come with this junzhu.”

Luo Jing Ying knew, this time, she was probably going to suffer greatly. She wanted to cry for help, but not a single person noticed her.

“You dare to not listen to this junzhu? Do you want this junzhu to cut up your face?” Li Ru Yu maliciously threatened.

Luo Jing Ying could only compromise. So long as she can protect her face, it doesn’t matter if she suffers a bit of hardship. She swore, she’ll definitely make Luo Jing Wan, that slut, pay for this humiliation!

When she finished playing, Jing Wan finally felt her weary state, and also the piercing pain in her fingers. She could only firmly bury her ten fingers into her palm to slightly relieve the pain. Jing Wan calmed her own breathing, letting her rapidly beating heart return to normal.

Sweeping a glance below, those two that made her feel nauseated disappeared. Recalling Li Ru Yu’s character, Luo Jing Ying truly reaped what she sowed.

No one complained about Jing Wan overstaying on the stage. Those who were unaware couldn’t carelessly open their mouths, and those who were aware all understood inside, this piece must have drained this little miss mentally.

Even that qin fanatic cabinet minister acknowledged that even he himself, wouldn’t necessarily be able to reach this level either. That kind of state already had nothing to do with skill, but rather was the outcome brought about by many factors.

“Xu mama, go have Miss Luo helped down.” The Grand Elder Princess ordered the other mama.

Letting the most capable mama at the Grand Elder Princess’s side personally go, this was definitely a great honor.

Jing Wan indeed felt drained as well, and to have someone support her, she rather didn’t refuse, as she smiled, “Many thanks mama.”

“Miss is too polite, it is this servant’s honor.” For Jing Wan, this may be a rare honor, but how was it also not the same for Xu mama? Right now, this young lady was the center of everyone’s attention, and received her master’s favor. And she, at the end of the day, was essentially just a servant.

Jing Wan stood up borrowing Xu mama’s support. Her legs were somewhat limp, practically even more tired than when she exercised for two hours. This wasn’t logical! Jing Wan slightly staggered, then stabilized her body, and when she descended the stage, she naturally didn’t put all her weight onto Xu mama’s hand. She was someone who on normal days, never needed anyone to support her after all. And Xu mama, for the most part, just used a bit more strength than normal when supporting her own master. Only when one truly got up close to Jing Wan would one realize just how terrible her condition was. Xu mama couldn’t help but sigh, this young lady’s willpower was truly astonishing.

Jing Wan let go of Xu mama, and slightly shook her head at her deeply concerned family and friends to the side. Her two hands were naturally gathered into her sleeves, as she bowed to the various nobles. “Grand Elder Princess, this subject is a bit unpresentable, asking to allow this subject to go tidy up one’s appearance.”

“Alright. This girl, still this formal at such a time, quickly go. Xu mama also go, have Miss Luo served well.”

After Jing Wan left, the Grand Elder Princess finally noticed Luo Old Madam and had her invited before her, even specially adding a seat for her.

Another servant girl by the Grand Elder Princess’s side went and retrieved the qin, naturally discovering the bloodstains on the qin strings. She had the qin brought before the Grand Elder Princess, “Master, look at this.”

The Grand Elder Princess’s expression turned cold, “Let someone have the best medicine sent over.”

“Many thanks Grand Elder Princess.” Luo Old Madam thanked, no one saw her two tightly clenched hands.

“How can one still accept old madam’s thanks, in the end, regarding this matter, this princess can’t escape from the responsibility either.”

“Grand Elder Princess must not say it like this. With such a big residence, and numerous people today, how can one be thorough in all things.”

The Grand Elder Princess sighed, “Only someone like old madam would be able to raise such a remarkable child like Miss Luo.”

“Grand Elder Princess overpraises.”

Excluding this very minor incident, quite a few people were still peacefully immersed in that piece, especially the qin fanatic cabinet minister. Just now, if not for someone pulling him, afraid he would’ve already charged to the female guest side. Then, that would really be a joke.

The excited qin fanatic cabinet minister seemingly thought of a question, “Which family’s young miss was that? Played the qin this well, yet this old man never once heard of any rumors before in the slightest. Hiding her this tightly for what?”

Speaking of which, Luo Pei Shan was also very surprised. Who knew that his own precious granddaughter also had such an ability. Once he finished being surprised, he got excited. In fact, even now, he was still in an excited state, stroking that beard of his over and over. The corners of his mouth almost split to his ears. Towards that qin fanatic cabinet minister’s words, he completely didn’t hear. Have to say, he was still old in years, so his eyes weren’t all that good anymore. And being separated relatively far away, not to mention having no understanding towards something like ‘qin zone’, he naturally didn’t know Jing Wan’s condition. Else, he would’ve already started worrying.

Have to say, among these officials, Head Magistrate Diwu was probably the only one familiar with Jing Wan. Seeing that smug look on Luo Pei Shan, he really wanted to beat him up. Having a granddaughter proficient in raising plants and flowers, and also unparalleled in playing the qin made you impressive, huh? Even if this old man didn’t have one at home, even if………damn it, he wanted to steal the person! “Cabinet Minister Jiang, that is Sir Luo’s granddaughter.”

As a result, all the attention pooled over, and that ‘foolish look’ of Luo Pei Shan’s fell into everyone’s eyes. However, they all felt it was understandable. If it was them, having such an outstanding child, they would also be happy.

The crowd bursted into praises and compliments. Luo Pei Shan smiled aloofly and humbly responded.

Cabinet Minister Jiang meanwhile actually calmed down quite a bit, resuming his usual aloofness again. But seeing Luo Pei Shan, this old fox who received an advantage yet still played the fool, he snorted twice, “Sir Luo, this old man wishes to exchange for that qin (music) score, what do you want?”

“This, Cabinet Minister Jiang, you know……….” Luo Pei Shan hesitantly stroked his beard with a troubled look. He was indeed troubled. Qin score and whatnot, he simply had no idea, alright! Even if it was in the Luo Manor, that was still his granddaughter’s. If it was his other grandchildren, he naturally would’ve made the decision himself without the slightest hesitation. But that won’t do for third girl. That girl may be obedient, but her temper was also quite big. What if she gets upset and doesn’t let him near those treasures of hers? And it’s not like he can do something like forcibly steal his granddaughter’s things. If nothing else, that old wife of his was already enough for him to handle.

T/N: All of grandpa Luo scenes make me so happy. His troubles always center around his precious flowers ahahhahah.
