Chapter 255.1: Going Crazy
“En, rather than being amused alone, it’s better for everyone to be amused.” Jing Wan was quite candid. This was her original goal. Unfortunately, some people just believe themselves to be infallible, brazenly having their wife’s people taken as their own, even thinking that it was precisely for them to begin with.
Actually, Jing Wan very much want to ask them, how big is your face?
However, her candidness, in certain people’s eyes, just became shamelessness, daring to do, yet not daring to admit. Clearly it was her that was easily jealous, yet still wanting to look for a good excuse for herself. As expected, the same as Su-s.h.i.+, that lowly s.l.u.t, always knowing to put on an act.
“Since that’s the case, Jin w.a.n.gfei can’t be this unfair, how can Rui w.a.n.gfei miss out?”
————Your Highness n.o.ble consort, don’t you pose yourself as a good mother-in-law? You yourself have never given people to your son before to distant your daughter-in-law, so if you don’t block now, wouldn’t that be slapping one’s own face? But if you block, what will the ones given to the others be counted as?
Who was n.o.ble Consort Su, with just this bit of trick yet want to make a fool of her? Heheh…………. “Indeed, old six’s wife can’t be this unfair, leaving out your third sister-in-law alone. If there’s still people in the manor, just give two more to your third sister-in-law. Pleasing a qin-w.a.n.gfei is also a great accomplishment for them.”
Jing Wan understood her words. This was giving to Rui w.a.n.gfei, Rui Qinw.a.n.g won’t touch. This not only preserved Jing Wan’s face. Her younger daughter-in-law is harmonious with the zhoulis, happily giving her zhoulis ‘presents’. And her older son is a proper gentleman, unlike the others, that despicable and dirty, wanting to have all the pretty looking ones by their wife’s side taken as their own.
Regardless whether these words are just for the face, or what, all in all, as long as Rui Qinw.a.n.g doesn’t touch those female entertainers, then these words will just adequately solidify. Not only can one not give Jing Wan an easily jealous t.i.tle, Rui Qinw.a.n.g will also have the other ‘lechers’ all compared into the ground.
Impressive, as expected of a good mother-in-law, and also as expected of a veteran in harem battles. The rights and wrongs, black and white, all able to easily turn on its head and spin around. And when necessary, even a line that doesn’t have deep meaning, she is all able to stretch into many many contents with various twists and turns, and on a matter that does have a deeper meaning, she is also able to ‘hammer the lid on the coffin’ in one slap, expressing that’s just the literal meaning on the surface, and whoever dares to stretch it, that’s just your mind being filthy, thinking too much.
You clearly know her intentions, but because she’s always able to ‘be in accord with reality’, Le Cheng Emperor will only see ‘sincerity’.
There were still some imperial concubines that wanted to retort a few words, but fortunately got stopped by those they were still on good terms with. Afterwards, they realized the meaning within in hindsight, momentarily burning in anger. Not only did they not see Su-s.h.i.+’s joke, they even gave their own son a womanizing t.i.tle, slandering her daughter-in-law.
They rather wanted to have the matter of the concubine releasing letter brought out, but recalling Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s threat, afraid if they were to momentarily disregard everything here, later their own sons will just meet with misfortune. In that living Enma’s eyes, there was just no ‘brotherly bond’, this phrase.
However, despite painstakingly raising one’s sons to adulthood, the foster son completely didn’t give one’s actual son face, instead helping his wife that just married in to attack his brother. They refuse to believe that she can not have any thoughts inside. Switched with anyone else, afraid will all feel one raised a white-eyed wolf. And only those that are fake to the extreme were able to be indifferent.
The people of the imperial harem all believed to have seen through n.o.ble Consort Su’s face, and it was just his Majesty and Jin Qinw.a.n.g that still believed her.
However, precisely the so called, ‘when the fake mask is worn for a long time, the fake also becomes real’. Because n.o.ble Consort Su has been very good to Jin Qinw.a.n.g from beginning to end, no one was able to pick out any faults. As such, even if they had n.o.ble Consort Su cursed into a dog in their hearts, they still didn’t dare to voice it.
According to n.o.ble Consort Su’s saying, Jin Qinw.a.n.g was precisely her son, the two brothers having a falling out, she either give each fifty beatings with the plank, or help neither side, not bothering with anyone. Speaking from this angle, it seemingly couldn’t be criticized.
Towards n.o.ble Consort Su’s att.i.tude towards Jin Qinw.a.n.g, even Jing Wan felt it wasn’t easy to evaluate. She further believed this was similar to a kind of hypnosis. n.o.ble Consort Su would endlessly tell herself, that was just her own son, her actual son. As such, only by deceiving herself would she be able to not have any barriers in her heart towards this son.
n.o.ble Consort Su had the others all sent out. And in their hearts, they all believed to have already seen n.o.ble Consort Su’s joke. Even if it wasn’t pulled out onto the surface, it didn’t mean that it didn’t exist. They were all people in the know. You want to pretend to not know, then just keep pretending.
Thus, only n.o.ble Consort Su and Jing Wan remained, and their side was also just the palace attendants of Yucui Palace.
Towards Jing Wan, n.o.ble Consort Su affectionately beckoned her hand, letting her sit by her side, openly mentioning Luo Jing Ying.
Jing Wan had a gloomy look, her eyes lowered, looking to the ground, “Consort mother, regarding the concubine releasing letter, it’s all this daughter-in-law’s fault………………”
n.o.ble Consort Su, in a place Jing Wan couldn’t see, carried a cold expression, yet it quickly pa.s.sed in a flash, “This indeed was Rui Qinw.a.n.g going a little overboard, but if your fourth younger sister wants to return to the Luo family, just secretly go back. This concubine releasing letter is indeed too much.”
“It was this daughter-in-law worrying over one’s younger sister, momentarily acting on impulse, asking consort mother to not be angry at this daughter-in-law.”
Without the concubine releasing letter, how could one let Luo Jing Ying thoroughly free herself from Rui Qinw.a.n.g.
In that moment, Jing Wan just thought, if possible, just let Luo Jing Ying remarry. As such, she naturally needed to have all the existing hidden troubles all strangled in the cradle. Even if changing her name, living under another ident.i.ty, one still needed to put an end to letting others catch anything to use against them. Otherwise, if by chance she were to remarry, yet let Rui Qinw.a.n.g cling onto the fact that she’s his concubine, refusing to let go, saying the Luo family’s one daughter in two marriages, when time comes, no matter how many mouths the Luo family has, all unable to explain clearly.
Seeing Jing Wan with a look of restless, n.o.ble Consort Su’s gaze was full of ice. The situation at the time, regardless whether it was Ming’er or his wife, they’d all explained to her in detail. Even if each carrying their own emotions, she was still clearly aware that this new daughter-in-law of hers wasn’t acting on an impulse, but rather very much calm, very accurately grabbing onto one’s weakness and stabbing one’s wound, else how would she have been able to force her son to write the concubine releasing letter on the spot. This kind of person, if targeting outsiders, naturally it would make one pleased, but if targeting one’s most important person, then that was just making one want to strangle her to death.
Jing Wan although didn’t lift her head, she still kept feeling that n.o.ble Consort Su’s sharp gaze was on her neck. Although she sensed a bit of chilliness, she didn’t have any fear. To not have any misgivings in taking revenge immediately, in this world, there was just Jin Qinw.a.n.g alone. That being the case, towards some things, even he had misgivings, else people like Kang Qinw.a.n.g and Rui Qinw.a.n.g afraid would’ve long gone to meet with the real King Enma.
“Since things are already so, there’s no need to say anything more. However, in this matter, there should be misunderstandings. What kind of person Rui Qinw.a.n.g is, I, this mother, can’t be more clear. Jing Wan, you were raised by your grandmother’s side, and kept far away from the schemes and machinations of the inner manor. The inner manor just doesn’t have much peaceful times, do you understand?”
Jing Wan lifted her head, “Asking consort mother to give direction.”
n.o.ble Consort Su faintly inhaled a breath, feeling that even her liver ached. Not understanding yet pretending to understand made one loathe, but understanding yet pretending to not understand made one resent! “Most likely just the other concubines in Rui Qinw.a.n.g Manor’s rear court vying for favor and getting jealous, sowing discord in front of your fourth younger sister. And with Rui Qinw.a.n.g being busy, momentarily careless, and not detecting, it thus led to an irreversible matter. This consort also heard, that was an already formed male fetus. Pity that grandson of this consort’s, this consort had been looking forwards to for many years…………” n.o.ble Consort Su even instinctively used the handkerchief to dab the corners of her eyes.
Speaking of that child, n.o.ble Consort Su truly heartached. All these years, this was indeed the only boy they’ve seen. Not having a grandson was definitely the deepest wound in her heart, and the most difficult matter to have confidence in. When she learned of this matter, she even had her son thoroughly scolded, and also for the first time, gave her daughter-in-law Rui w.a.n.gfei an unsightly look.
———–If it was a female fetus, you wouldn’t have even batted an eye.
“It’s actually like this?” Jing Wan was momentarily in shock.
“Naturally so, it’s just that you haven’t experienced much, thus don’t know the severity.”
“In that case, wouldn’t that be wronging Rui Qinw.a.n.g?” Jing Wan’s restlessness seemingly intensifying.
“He’s a grown man, there’s nothing to be wronged about. To have not been able to govern the family, that is just his fault.”
Jing Wan relaxed a breath, seemingly as if saying, since you’ve said this, I’ll just be at ease.
n.o.ble Consort Su felt another burst of pain inside. To not follow the common path, would one still be able to have a pleasant conversation? “How’s your fourth sister right now?”
