Chapter 136.2: Violent Rage, Vomiting Blood
From entering the gates to exiting them again, Miss Shen had only gotten her pulse examined. Aside from this, it was also just bearing the pain.
Stepping out of the Luo family gates, Shen Shu Han glanced at his daughter, “Your guts are rather big.”
Miss Shen uncontrollably s.h.i.+vered. Facing her own father, she was deathly afraid inside, no longer having the same courage from when she was kneeling in front of the Luo family gates.
Speaking of which, although Shen Shu Han was a military general, the upbringing and education he received since childhood, as well as his own thoughts and ideology, all were that of a typical Confucian scholar, paying particular attention to the differences between di and shu. He had many concubines, and also numerous children, but from beginning to end, he has always deeply respected his di wife and valued his di sons. Towards his shu sons, it was still a little better, but as for his shu daughters, they for the most part were completely disregarded. If his madam were to be a little more ruthless, not a single one of his shu daughters would survive. However, the Right Commander-in-Chief’s madam was rather open-minded, because she was very clear, towards her, Shen Shu Han only held respect and not love. In his heart was still that younger cousin that was his childhood sweetheart, the current n.o.ble Consort, Su-s.h.i.+. For the Shen family to wholeheartedly a.s.sist Rui Qinw.a.n.g, how was there not this layer of reasoning inside. Her position was stable, but she didn’t have extravagant hopes towards romance and affection either. Towards the shu children, she may not like them, but she wasn’t harsh to them either. Using them to make marriage connections was rather a good use for them. A good marriage connection, for her sons, was also a great help.
“After returning, have this entire matter all explained clearly. If you’re a smart one, then you should know whether to tell the truth or lie.” Shen Shu Han’s tone was still the same as usual.
But precisely because it was like this, Miss Shen felt even more scared. She also didn’t think it would be like this in the end. She originally thought that it was just the Ding d.u.c.h.ess disliking and being displeased with her future daughter-in-law, wanting to make her lose face, and she herself would also be able to fulfill her own desires. That’s why, she came to the Luo Manor. Although she also considered the possibility of damaging the other Shen family young miss’s reputation, her father and them would always think of a way to remedy it. But, the Ding d.u.c.h.ess completely turned face and refused to acknowledge her. Moreover, she was further shocked at Gentleman Lin’s infatuation towards Luo third miss, and also the Luo family’s love towards their own miss, these were all things she never could’ve imagined. Even for someone like Gentleman Lin, they would just withdraw the engagement just like that?
In the Luo family rear court right now, it was strangely quiet. The two masters with the highest positions were both in an extremely angered state. The servants naturally didn’t dare to make careless remarks. If heard, they’ll definitely suffer at this time.
Speaking of which, today was Luo Jing Qiang’s first return to her maiden home. This originally was supposed to be a happy occasion, but unexpectedly turned out like this.
In reality, quite a few people even suspected, the other party probably specially picked such a day to come looking for them.
When Jing Wan and Sun Yi Jia heard everything, Jing Wan didn’t think much of it, but Sun Yi Jia, instead, began uncontrollably shedding tears again.
Jing Wan hurriedly used a brocade handkerchief to wipe her tears, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, I didn’t even cry, what are you crying for?”
Sun Yi Jia reached out and hugged Jing Wan, crying endlessly.
Jing Wan freely allowed her to hug her as she lightly patted her back. She knew, the Ding d.u.c.h.ess’s actions have severely hurt Sun Yi Jia. After this time, afraid, she will have thoroughly lost all hope. And for the Ding d.u.c.h.ess to go this far, truthfully speaking, truly was beyond everyone’s expectations. Just what exactly was she thinking?
Sun Yi Jia finally stopped her tears with great difficulty, her eyes swollen and red, “Little sister Wan, don’t hate me, don’t disdain me. She has never considered for me, never cared about me.” From here on out, unless absolutely necessary, Sun Yi Jia decided she will never set foot in the Ding Duke Manor ever again, even going as far as to one-sidedly sever all relations with the Ding Duke Manor.
Who Sun Yi Jia was talking about, everyone was all well aware inside.
“I already said, you are you, she is she. Elder sister-in-law, you just need to properly live out your days with my third brother.”
Sun Yi Jia nodded her head. She was very clear. If this was any other family, she would’ve long been isolated and without help.
“Little sister Wan, my fifth brother isn’t that kind of person. That child definitely can’t be his. Moreover, there are people following by his side at all times, so how can he be schemed against that easily. Also, he’s very aware of his own situation, and towards his personal things, he’s always been very careful with. The people by his side also wouldn’t dare do something like stealing, but precisely as the saying goes, guarding day and night, one’s family…………” The following words, Sun Yi Jia was no longer able to say. How ironic, their own mother. When stepping on your future daughter-in-law’s face, did you not think of your own son’s face? Or did you really think your son, no matter how much face he loses, will forever be that fragrant steamed bun that everyone wants to fight over?
Jing Wan fell silent. That was their own mother, the person closest to them, the person that has always pampered and protected her son like pearl, like treasure, and as the son, no matter who he guards against, he still can’t guard against her, no? Never mind her just taking her son’s things behind his back, even if she were to ask him for it, he would at most just be baffled for a moment, asking her what for, and with just a random excuse, she’ll be able to have him brushed off. If she has previously never done anything before, would you be able to suspect her of having ulterior motives? Definitely no. No matter how smart, and no matter how vigilant of a person, one would all fall for her tricks. That’s why, this matter, Sun Yi Lin really was very innocent, getting miserably screwed over by his own mother.
“Little sister Wan, it’s not that I don’t want you to cancel the engagement, it’s better for you to have it cancelled, just I don’t want you to misunderstand my fifth brother. After all, towards you, he…………..Even if everyone in the world all misunderstands him, he all won’t care, but if you misunderstand him, he definitely will be in more pain than getting stabbed with a knife.” Fifth brother was already very pitiful. Sun Yi Jia didn’t want to sprinkle salt on his wounds, and this salt absolutely can’t be sprinkled by little sister Wan either. Otherwise, he really will be in so much pain that he’ll wish for death.
They were n.o.ble from birth, proud children of the heavens, but now, have fallen to this point, and everything was all brought about by the person that originally was supposed to love them the most. In this world, was there anything more ironic than this, anything more painful? She was fortunate, not only having not fallen into the mud, but even obtained happiness. But her fifth brother lacked that fortune. She really didn’t dare imagine, how her fifth brother will be in the future.
“I know.” Precisely the so called, ‘the onlooker sees more clearly than the people involved’. Jing Wan although was an involved party, but she wasn’t infatuated with Sun Yi Lin. That’s why, this entire matter, she was able to see very clearly.
Seeing Jing Wan calm and collected, Sun Yi Jia inwardly sighed. Fifth brother and her ultimately weren’t fated to be together.
The servants of the Ding Duke Manor first saw their fifth young master hastily returning with a strange red mark on his face. Then, when their madam returned, they saw her secretively return to her own courtyard, and each and every one of the servants that followed her all didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.
This trip to the Luo Manor, afraid, wasn’t that satisfactory. The people of the other branches all carried a ‘taking pleasure in another’s misfortune’ mentality. However, they all were very clear. Right now wasn’t the time to go watch a play. One misstep, and they’ll end up burning themselves.
The Ding d.u.c.h.ess changed out of her clothes and completely redressed herself, applying medicine to her face, then applying powder to cover it up. But because it was somewhat swollen, it still appeared very prominent. She hated to death inside, and further was unable to quell her melancholic anger.
Learning that Sun Yi Lin was in his own courtyard, then looking again to the purple bruises on her wrist, this was the good son she raised, a white-eyed wolf that extended his elbows outward. She angrily charged over.
But, unexpectedly, she was blocked outside the courtyard gates. The Ding d.u.c.h.ess who was burning in anger directly swung a slap over.
The servant boy guarding the gates was also depressed. This was practically an unreasonable disaster, but he also didn’t dare continue blocking.
Sun Yi Lin stood by the flower bush, dazedly lost in thought. He didn’t change his clothes, and further didn’t apply medicine on his face.
“You unfilial b.a.s.t.a.r.d, to actually dare let someone have me blocked outside. Have your wings finally hardened, daring to do something like this?!”
Sun Yi Lin simply didn’t even pay her any attention, let alone bowing to her and paying his respect.
The Ding d.u.c.h.ess’s chest moved up and down indefinitely. She really felt she was about to die from anger, “I’m talking to you, did you hear me. Look, look, look, what’s there to look at? Just thinking about these plants and flowers all day, I’ll have them all burned down with a torch.”
Sun Yi Lin finally gave her a glance, his eyes exceptionally cold. And a moment later, he finally opened his mouth, “If I don’t block you, then you’ll take my things again and give them to those women outside that appear out of nowhere.”
“What nonsense are you saying, what do you mean I took your thing………” Regarding this bit, the Ding d.u.c.h.ess couldn’t help feeling guilty again.
“Mother, do you take everyone for a fool? You think others all won’t be able to guess what you’ve done?”
“I haven’t done anything.” The Ding d.u.c.h.ess both anxiously and hastily denied.
“Heh……..” Sun Yi Lin laughed, laughing very mockingly, also carrying an indescribable bitterness, “Whether you did or not, you are the most clear inside. I still don’t understand, where exactly has Jing Wan invoked your hatred. For the sake of making her lose face, you can even acknowledge a b.a.s.t.a.r.d of unknown origins as your son’s child, not even hesitating to take my things to give to her as evidence. When you did these things, did you ever think of me? Now, the engagement will be canceled, she will never marry into the Ding Duke Manor, you are finally satisfied.”
