Chapter 177.3: Precise Words, Death Pardoning Gold Plaque
At the courtyard entrance, Sun Old Madam directly met face to face with Sun Yi Bin. The servant girl carefully held the lantern.
Sun Yi Bin hurriedly bowed, “Grandmother, this is having come from mother’s place? This grandson was just about to go see mother.” As he said this, he furrowed his brows, slightly hesitating a moment, “Grandmother, how’s mother?”
Sun Old Madam tugged the corner of her mouth, the mocking overtone very obvious.
Sun Yi Bin hurriedly corrected himself, “For mother, you are her elder to begin with. You saying a few words to her is also rightfully so. This grandson didn’t have any other meaning.”
“Put away your fake filial son, virtuous grandson, mask. You think I don’t know you bear grudges against your mother for being bias towards your younger brother? When their relations.h.i.+p is unharmonious, you just fan the flames with all your might, causing your mother’s illness to aggravate. Then immediately, while taking pleasure at their misfortune, blame it on your younger brother, saying he’s not filial. And I, this old woman, in your eyes, is also nothing more than an old fossil that relies on airs of an elder.” She swept a glance at the scar on his forehead, “At the time, you bled a face full of blood, yet still be able to magnanimously not bicker about it? You probably long hated that you can’t have me chopped into eight pieces, right? Get lost however far you can, don’t be nuisance in front of my eyes.”
Sun Yi Bin’s complexion was also deathly pale, exceptionally interesting, and at the same time, also somewhat stupefied. Grandmother’s temperament was actually rather cold and aloof, so this really was the first time for her to speak this bluntly, her att.i.tude can even be said to be fiery. Was this really the grandmother he knew? This completely was like having become a different person. “Grandmother, that time it was this grandson’s fault…………”
“Did I let you speak?”
Sun Yi Bin was ruthlessly cut off, like having a fish bone stuck in his throat, unable to spit out and unable to swallow.
Actually, for those that recognized Sun Old Madam when she was young, they will know, she really wasn’t considered a good-tempered person. It was nothing more than just her anger management skills having improved over the years, with very few things capable of stirring up her emotions. Knowing what kind of ending the Ding Duke Manor will have, she was too lazy to care. So, when truly in a bad mood, she’s able to whip you to death with a cane. One has to know, Le Cheng Emperor, in his childhood, had once gotten pressed on the ground and beaten up by her before.
Sun Old Madam didn’t give him another glance, “Since sick, then just quietly recuperate. Have the courtyard gates locked up.”
While thoroughly locking the Ding d.u.c.h.ess in confinement, it also cut off this bunch of disgusting flies outside.
Afterwards, Sun Yi Bin looked to the tightly shut courtyard gate. At night, putting up locks was very normal, but this gate, will one still be able to see it open during the day? Then, looking again to Sun Old Madam’s figure in the distance, just borrowing the light from a lantern, somewhat blurry and unclear, but that upright back unhesitantly moved forward step by step.
This was grandmother taking back the power again? Because after the Ding d.u.c.h.ess fell ill, the power inside the Ding Duke Manor has already been distributed, including his wife, all got a share, and all had a taste of that benefit. And his wife obtaining benefits was naturally the same as him obtaining benefits. Reasonably speaking, he was the eldest di son, and with his mother ill, the power should all be handed over to his wife. But in reality, having to distribute the power was already sullen enough, and now, she even wanted to have it all taken back? Naturally no one would be willing. However, grandmother’s words, who would dare disobey?
This matter, he still needed to think of a way, see if there’s leeway to turn the situation around. Sun Yi Bin firmly ma.s.saged between his brows. There were still many matters outside, and at home, it also wasn’t peaceful. As expected, indeed an old fossil. He resolutely turned and left. And his mother? Heheh………..
The next day, with one line from Sun Old Madam, everyone that came to pay their respect to her all got blocked outside the door. She seemingly was still living the same kind of days as when in the capital’s Ding Duke Manor. Don’t know if they should relax a breath, or should worry that the old madam still has a follow-up waiting for them.
Regardless of what they’re thinking, Sun Old Madam took the prepared things, preparing to personally go see her granddaughter.
Reasonably speaking, a married young lady from their family getting pregnant with a child, even if her own mother can’t go to visit, her sister-in-laws still needed to go have a look. However, Sun Old Madam personally went, and completely didn’t have the intention of calling on Sun Yi Jia’s sister-in-laws, regardless of whichever one.
Sun Yi Jia took the medicine, and another night pa.s.sed. At night, when sleeping, she was all very cautious and careful. However, if she doesn’t sleep well, it’ll also have an effect, so Luo Jing Bo just let her peacefully sleep, he will watch over her. Luo Jing Bo saying he would watch over her really wasn’t just saying. He really did keep watch the whole night, and not let the servant girl do it in his place. In reality, n.o.ble young ladies like Sun Yi Jia, their sleeping postures have all been trained before, so it has always been very good, simply don’t need to worry about something like flipping over too much. However, for the sake of letting her feel at ease, Luo Jing Bo rather didn’t mind. Just, when she saw Luo Jing Bo’s slightly blue eye circles, she heartached again, letting him quickly go catch up on sleep. And this kind of thing, she didn’t let happen a second time.
Jing Wan came over very early to keep her company. She, who didn’t play the qin much, at this time, after putting on protection on her fingers, prepared to pick back up again during this period of time, in the name of giving her future nephew or niece prenatal education. Of course, even if she has never experienced before, she still knew that giving prenatal education at this time was a bit early. However, it didn’t matter, didn’t she still need to practice?
She was all able to play ‘Ambush on Ten Sides’, that kind of piece, so even if just practicing, in addition to choosing a simple piece, situations where she continuously stops naturally won’t appear. At most it was just playing the wrong note in certain areas.
At the end of the piece, Sun Yi Jia revealed miserable expression, “Little sister Wan, on the day of the Grand Elder Princess’s birthday, was it really you playing the qin? Compared to that time, right now is practically just the difference between a beginner and a divine player, or are you actually messing with me?”
Jing Wan’s face darkened. Was it that bad? She felt it was clearly pretty good.
Sun Yi Jia seemingly understood Jing Wan’s meaning from her expression. She was extremely speechless. Little sister Wan, as expected, is extraordinarily thick-skinned.
When Luo Old Madam sent someone to lead Sun Old Madam over, Jing Wan was still tormenting Sun Yi Jia.
Jing Wan got up to greet her.
Sun Yi Jia also wanted to get up, but Sun Old Madam hurriedly let her lie back down, “Stay down, how is now the time to be concerned with these meaningless etiquettes.” Seeing Sun Yi Jia’s situation appear much better than what she antic.i.p.ated, Sun Old Madam also relaxed a breath. It can be seen, the Luo family really had her taken care of very well.
“Grandmother, how come you personally came? You could’ve just randomly sent someone.”
“What nonsense are you saying. I wanted to see my own granddaughter, yet this is getting disdained?”
Sun Yi Jia hurriedly pulled her hand, “This granddaughter knows wrong, how could this granddaughter disdain, don’t disdain at all, can’t wish for it more.”
Jing Wan, seeing the two of them being intimate, just smiled. They are blood relatives after all, without a mother, a grandmother is also good. “Then, elder sister-in-law, why don’t you have a private talk with your grandmother, I’ll come over again later. ——–Elder sister-in-law has also missed old madam very much. This one will be rash for once and ask old madam to keep elder sister-in-law company longer.”
“You also don’t need to be formal with me. Jia’er although is a married daughter, in my heart, she is the same as before marrying.”
Jing Wan curtsied and left.
