Chapter 243.2: Causing Trouble For No Reason
Jing Wan left from Luo Old Madam’s place, and went to go see her own mother. Her maternal grandmother was also at Falling Plum Residence.
When Zhang-s.h.i.+ saw Jing Wan, it was just flood waters breaching the dam. Speaking of which, ever since learning that she, this mother, was actually very incompetent, one didn’t see her think of how to improve the relations.h.i.+p, instead those tears just increasing more and more, seemingly as long as she cried, everything can all be remedied. The result was just becoming increasingly melancholic and emotional, having a bit more of lament and sorrow, in turn increasing in picturesque charm. Aside from the husband and wife becoming increasingly affectionate and congenial, she was more or less thoroughly hopeless.
Seeing Zhang-s.h.i.+ like this, Jing Wan had the urge to just turn and leave.
And Jing Wan’s maternal grandmother also stifled in anger. This daughter, prior to marrying, although had that bit of melancholic tendency, but it was also just a bit, and after marrying, certainly will just get better. After all, the young lady raised deep in the boudoir and an already married madam was completely two different cases, but looking at her now, she was increasingly regressing! Never mind her daughter that she was previously separated from for several years, even the son that was right by her side also appear to be more polite and formal with his parents. Could it be that this pighead just never noticed?
If Jing Wan were to know what her maternal grandmother was thinking, she would probably tell her, her mother’s head just has her father in it. As long as she has her father, she can probably be a romantic for her whole life. Right now, on the matter of women, her father has seemingly curbed himself, so naturally it just intensified.
Zhang-s.h.i.+ got suppressed by her own mother from beginning to end. Jing Wan rather nicely chatted a few words with this old madam, having their relations.h.i.+p pulled in quite bit. In the end, Jing Wan thought for a moment and opened her mouth, “…………..The two maternal uncles are both good, maternal grandmother and maternal grandfather don’t need to worry. Setting aside soaring success, and revitalizing the family clan, having the Zhang family nicely carried on down the line was still possible.”
The old madam blanked, and immediately after, understood Jing Wan’s meaning, nearly shedding tears, “Good, good, good, our whole family has benefited from Wan Wan’s light. This future, future………….”
“Maternal grandmother, we’re all one family, and moreover, it’s mainly still because the two maternal uncles are good to begin with.”
Towards Jing Wan’s meaning, the old madam couldn’t understand more. If they themselves have problems, she definitely won’t a.s.sist. “Your two maternal uncles certainly are good, if not good, your maternal grandfather and I will break their legs.”
“Maternal grandmother’s words are too serious.”
After a moment of happiness, the old madam somewhat hesitated again, “Wan Wan just married, won’t this be not too good?”
“Maternal grandmother, no need to worry, there’s no harm.” Her newlywed status with Jin Qinw.a.n.g was similar yet different from others’. It was just seeking some benefits for her relatives within a reasonable scope, so she didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate either. If divided too clearly, they would instead appear estranged. The people at present precisely emphasized the bond of two surnames, the binding of mutual benefit.
Jing Wan bid farewell with them and left.
Just, before Jing Wan found Sun Yi Jia and them to speak with, she already ‘coincidentally encountered’ quite a few people. When she got married, aside from the people of the Zhang family, there were also other relatives in the manor. Regardless of whether it was out of their curiosity towards Jing Wan, or carrying a purpose, all in all, it was basically just ‘one falls, the next follows’. Jing Wan right now just want to find a place to hide in peace.
That’s why, when Jing Wan saw the cold-faced Enma in the black brocade gown, it was practically just like seeing a savior.
The imposing aura on Li Hong Yuan was too strong. Ordinary people really didn’t have the guts to approach.
“w.a.n.gye.” Jing Wan curtsied to greet him.
Li Hong Yuan reached out to have her pulled over, “You and I are husband and wife, why the need to be this courteous.”
“Etiquette cannot be abolished. ———-How come w.a.n.gye came to the rear court?”
“Wanted to see the place where w.a.n.gfei once lived.”
“Is that so, then this wife will take w.a.n.gye for a stroll.” Jing Wan said with a shallow smile.
Just, this pretentious manner of interaction just gave those that were familiar a stomachache.
But in the eyes of those who didn’t know, these two were very proper in their act. As expected of the imperial family, they were just different.
When there was no outsiders, Li Hong Yuan finally amusingly sc.r.a.ped Jing Wan’s nose, “Since you don’t want to deal with, then just ignore them.”
“For better or worse still people that carry a bit of relation. It’s not like they did anything overboard, so the most basic manners are still needed. Think everyone can be like you? Having just become a w.a.n.gfei, yet already looking down from high and above, considering everyone beneath oneself, similarly damages the imperial family’s prestige.”
“Marrying the husband, one follows the husband, if Wan Wan doesn’t want to deal with them, then no need to put up with them.”
Jing Wan sent him a tiny eye-roll.
Inside Elegant Haitang Residence, Jing Wan began packing the flowers. Some needed to be dug out again.
Facing that verdant and lush purple wei, Li Hong Yuan’s complexion wasn’t that great. Where this thing came from, he was very clear. “This peony, just leave it here. In the qinw.a.n.g manor’s rear court, the four famous breeds are all complete.”
Jing Wan was flabbergasted. Rather, she didn’t expect that this one actually collected flowers too. However, “It’s also fine if there’s one more.”
“The Luo family painstakingly raised you for a period of time, how can you not be willing to leave behind a single rare breed? For better or worse, leave a memento for your grandfather. Last year, he didn’t take your flowers to flaunt around with any less. This year, if not a single one is left, he’ll most likely scold you for being a white-eyed wolf.” Li Hong Yuan boldly preached.
Jing Wan was a bit stupefied. Was this still the man that had all the good things piled on her? This style changed a bit too quickly. Jing Wan stared at him. Wait, not right, there’s a problem, “w.a.n.gye, just directly say it, why won’t you let me take it away?”
Li Hong Yuan’s face darkened. What did his wife mean by this? For the sake of a peony, talking to him like this? Or is it that because this peony was from Sun Yi Lin, that’s why she was this unwilling to part with? These roots of trouble, as expected, should all be chopped up.
Jing Wan was baffled. What’s wrong now, she just asked the reason, that’s all. How come his face just darkened?
“If you like, this prince will let someone help you go to other places to get them, and can have however many you want. But this one, forget it.”
“No wait, exactly why? w.a.n.gye, give me a reason.”
“No reason.” Li Hong Yuan brushed his sleeve and entered the room.
Jing Wan blankly stood in place. What was this? Having a fall out with her just like this? Afterwards, Jing Wan was also a bit irritated.
“w.a.n.gfei, could it be that w.a.n.gye knows this peony’s origins?” Gong mama intentionally or otherwise reminded.
Origins? Jing Wan finally came to realization in hindsight. This man was eating vinegar! Thinking back, he even once wanted to directly slaughter the person! Jing Wan was between laughter and tears, “Mama, say, a grown man like him, how come was just this childish? Clearly just causing trouble for no reason. Moreover, something that was just over with in one line if directly explained, instead even throwing a tantrum with me?”
Towards him, Gong mama was also powerless to complain, “Probably doesn’t want to mention that Gentleman Sun.”
Jing Wan facepalmed, was it necessary to avoid like this? “In his eyes, I’m that kind of person?” Jing Wan just felt very wronged. She was just reluctant to part with this pot of flower, that’s all. This had nothing to do with the person that sent the flower, alright? She simply didn’t even think of this, okay?
“w.a.n.gye knows w.a.n.gfei isn’t that kind of person. w.a.n.gye is purely just using this as pretext to make a fuss, wanting to ask for benefits from you.”
“Should say, no wonder mama is a seasoned veteran? Can even make out all this?” Jing Wan teased.
“It’s w.a.n.gye himself, not the first time doing this kind of thing.”
