Chapter 104.5: The Elder Brother Sends the Betrothal Gifts, The Next Day the Younger Sister Withdraws From An Engagement

Li Ru Yu, who originally was still immensely pleased with herself, thinking that Jing Wan was scared of her, finally sensed that something was wrong. “Little slut, what do you want to do?” Hearing the sound of the gates closing, she couldn’t help but turn to look and unconsciously retreated two steps, but seemingly feeling as if she was losing face, she puffed out her chest again, “Little slut, this junzhu will tell you……….what are you all doing, stop.” Seeing her two servant girls get dragged away by muscular old servant women, Li Ru Yu flusteredly waved her whip.

Those old servant women were also crafty, directly using the people in hand to block. As a result, that servant girl miserably screamed out, her face in tatters.

“Mama, such a dangerous thing like the whip, how can one let junzhu, this kind of golden branch, jade leaves[1] beauty, just hold in their hand, what if she injures herself? Let someone take it to the side, and nicely look after it. When junzhu leaves, return it to her then.”

Gong mama naturally obediently followed her own miss’s orders. She went forward and easily stripped Li Ru Yu of her whip.

With her servant girls taken away, her whip seized, and seeing Jing Wan approaching closer step by step, Li Ru Yu produced a bad feeling, “Little slut, what do you want to do, this junzhu will tell you………”

“Didn’t junzhu say just now for this subject to serve you? Isn’t this subject merely complying with your instructions, personally coming to serve you?” Jing Wan loosened her wrist, and then abruptly moved forward two steps, her clenched fist fiercely striking below Li Ru Yu’s ribs.

Li Ru Yu screamed out in pain, and subconsciously bent her waist. Jing Wan grabbed Li Ru Yu’s two shoulders and lifted her leg. Li Ru Yu’s stomach once again suffered another ruthless blow.

Jing Wan may appear to be no different from ordinary young ladies, but she has been exercising frequently throughout the years. Her strength was already exceptional to begin with. Plus, when she was learning self-defense in her past life, she’d specifically learned the kind where one would use the tiniest strength to cause the greatest damage on the other party, and for the most part, won’t leave a mark either. Speaking of which, not long ago, she’d also made use of some little life skills from her past life, and now, even this skill was brought out too. This really was quite unexpected, but also rather exciting.

Such a turn of events made everyone all looked to one another in dismay. This girl really was———-unnoticeable when silent, but shocking when one finally cries out! Not just in other aspects, but also the same when beating someone up! Moreover, the person she was beating up was a junzhu, someone of the imperial household! Even with a bear’s heart and a leopard’s guts, it was still no more than this, right?!

Li Ru Yu hugged her stomach as she curled into a ball, her complexion deathly pale. Looks like, it really was very painful.

“Little slut……”

Jing Wan crouched down, grabbing Li Ru Yu by the hair, having her head lifted, “What instructions does junzhu have? Unsatisfied with this subject’s service? Don’t worry, this subject will definitely let junzhu be satisfied today.” Hooking the corner of her lips, she began laughing softly.

Li Ru Yu trembled. She suddenly felt that Luo Jing Wan was precisely a demon, the same kind of demon as Li Hong Yuan.

“Mama, move a chair over. It seems junzhu was served too comfortably, already somewhat unable to stand.”

The chair was swiftly brought over. Jing Wan, still grabbing Li Ru Yu by the hair, had her lifted up and placed onto the chair.

“Miss, your fingers still haven’t completely recovered yet, don’t use too much strength. If you need anything, just order this servant.”

Jing Wan was rather speechless. Her fingers have long recovered, alright. When they’d returned on the day her fingers were injured, she’d mixed colors for her older brother for that long, yet at the time, didn’t see Gong mama say anything either. Right now, it was merely just that her fingertips still haven’t recovered their usual gloss. Alright, her older brother was family, but Li Ru Yu was just an outsider. Injuring oneself, even in the slightest, for someone like her was all not worth it.

“Junzhu, best sit tight, else, a few more times, this servant worries that without even needing to shave your head, you’ll already be able to directly go become a nun.” Gong mama supported Li Ru Yu’s body, speaking exceptionally gentle.

Li Ru Yu’s body trembled again. That feeling as if facing Li Hong Yuan grew even stronger.

Jing Wan looked to Gong mama. Seemingly, this one was the real expert!

Jing Wan’s hand propped on top of Li Ru Yu’s head. Just as Li Ru Yu was about to lift her hand to slap Jing Wan’s hand away, Jing Wan’s other hand landed another punch. Li Ru Yu miserably screamed out once more.

Although it didn’t land on their bodies, just from Li Ru Yu’s reaction, they could already tell that it was definitely very painful.

“Mother, with Wan Wan like this, won’t………” Seeing his daughter like this, Luo Rong Yan was somewhat loss for words. It really was too unexpected. How come his daughter, who on normal days looked so well-behaved and delicate, was this vicious when beating up someone?

Luo Old Madam waved her hand and coldly said, “Don’t you know that it was her who bullied Wan Wan first? Never mind that you as the father can’t even help your own daughter vent her anger, but to not even allow her to vent her anger herself?!”

Luo Rong Yan rubbed his nose, not daring to utter another word. His daughter was the treasure of his mother’s heart, everyone else all needed to move aside. Even if his daughter did something this outrageous, it was still all his fault, it was he that was incompetent.

“Besides, merely just a no power, no influence, Cheng Junwang Manor. If Li Ru Yu hadn’t caused this herself, perhaps she might still have someone to back her. So what if she gets beat right now? Rather want to see, who she can find to seek ‘justice’ for her.” Right now, it was the Empress and Kang Qinwang that wanted to rope their family in, would they, for the sake of a Li Ru Yu, come to their Luo family to look for trouble?

Luo Old Madam’s words weren’t concealed in the least, and just like that, clearly fell into Li Ru Yu’s ears.

She regretted now. She thought, aside from not being able to hang around big brother Lin anymore, she could still continue being a little tyrant like before. But in reality, this wasn’t the case. Even Luo Jing Wan, this kind of lowly slut, had the guts to hit her. “Little slut, little slut, how dare you, this junzhu is a junzhu of the imperial family, the imperial family……….”

Jing Wan leaned down, moving closer to Li Ru Yu’s ear, “Unfavored princes would even get bullied, what do you count as?” Coming to bother her again and again, and right now, further because of some baseless matters, schemed to steal her fiancee. This was the so-called, ‘if even this can be tolerated, what else can’t be tolerated?[2]‘ Since Li Ru Yu has come to offer herself up, if she doesn’t properly vent out this anger, even Jing Wan would feel sorry for herself.

…………

When Jing Wan finally stopped, Li Ru Yu once again collapsed onto the ground, curling into a ball, trembling from the pain, and her face blurred with snot and tears. Where did she still have the least bit of that fiery temper and haughty look from before.

Everyone watching were all extremely quiet, including the Chen family who’d already reached the Luo Manor.

Jing Wan being ruthless with a cold face was truly somewhat scary!

“Mama, have her taken down to properly wash up. Afterwards, have her body examined.” Jing Wan was unusually calm. ‘Examine the body’, this kind of phrase that was unsuitable for her, also very naturally came out, as if there was nothing wrong.

Before coming, the Chen family was even thinking of how to resolve this matter. Was it to urge Jing Wan, this daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, to stay? But if that junzhu’s words are true, their Min boy will inevitably have to take her as his wife. After all, letting a junzhu become a concubine was an enormous crime. And to let Miss Luo be the concubine? Don’t even think about it. Canceling the engagement seemingly was the only option. As for how to say it without letting the two families become enemies? Right now, it looks like they actually don’t need to say anything. The Luo family’s young miss has already made the decision. Moreover, such a gentle and good-tempered looking young lady, when angered, was actually this violent, would their family’s Min boy really be able to tame her?

Jing Wan glanced at the Chen family’s expression. Looks like, even if Li Ru Yu didn’t lose her virginity, this marriage, didn’t need to be saved either.

Li Ru Yu, who’d finished tidying up, was still clean and beautiful, just dispirited and listless, that’s all.

“Miss, Ru Yu Junzhu is already not a virgin anymore.”

“Oh? Really is a girl who will do anything in order to achieve one’s goals. Sacrificing this much, hope that in the future, you won’t regret it. ————-Mother, go fetch the marriage contract, and hand it over to third great (maternal) uncle and them. Older cousin Min and my engagement will thus be annulled.”

Once a marriage is cancelled, even if the fault lies in the groom’s side, the female side’s reputation would still be affected. But from her mouth, it was just over with in one line.

Zhang-shi had already been frightened by her own daughter. This while, she just did whatever she was told to do.

While waiting for Zhang-shi to retrieve the marriage contract, in this period of time, Jing Wan was just like a nonchalant person, even having the Chen family invited inside.

Luo Old Madam looked to Jing Wan. At the moment, she didn’t know either whether Jing Wan really didn’t care, or was just pretending to not care? But regardless of the case, it all made one heartache from watching. Several times, she all wanted to say something, but hesitated.

Everyone all didn’t leave, yet were all silent without a sound.

In the end, it was still Jing Wan that spoke, “Third great-uncle, the matter of cancelling the engagement, keep it from older cousin Min first. When he comes out from the Gong Courtyard, just tell him, I said, properly focus on the exam. No matter what, all wait until after his court examination[3] to tell him.” As she said this, she even charmingly batted her eyes, “If he, because of excess emotions affecting his exam, doesn’t get an ideal ranking, I will certainly look down on him.”

They were moved by Jing Wan’s consideration. This kind of young lady, perhaps, even if their Min boy can’t tame her, it wouldn’t really matter either? Unfortunately, no matter what they say, it would all be useless. That junzhu directly had the matter forced onto a dead end. There was no other option.

The marriage contract, Jing Wan personally returned to the Chen family. Afterwards, she looked towards Li Ru Yu with a meaningful look, “After becoming one family, if there’s any place unsatisfactory, just properly instruct.” A junzhu with no backing, after marrying, still want to put on airs?

Li Ru Yu really was beaten scared by Jing Wan, shrinking back with all her might.

“What one should say, and what one shouldn’t say, I believe junzhu should be very clear. After all, that is your future husband, affecting his future prospects, won’t do you any good.”

[1] Golden branch, jade leaves – basically meaning she’s of imperial descent; similar to phrases like ‘blue-blooded nobility’.

[2] Meaning this definitely can not be tolerated.

[3] The highest level and also the last exam in the imperial exam.

T/N: Sorry didn’t update yesterday, but guess who finally went and made accordions for the table of contents page ;;;v;;;) took fuking forever but it’s finally not infinite scrolling anymore. I originally gave up on using plugins because the layout of how some worked really bugged me, so this time I just manually modified a pre-existing plugin. My knowledge of coding has deteriorated over the years. I wanted it to have the last toggle open on load, but the stupid tags for the function won’t trigger, so I gave up after 20 tries. This is going to haunt me forever.

Also, I love Grandma Luo’s full support of Jing Wan, and also how perceptive she is at the political standing of the situation. Though Jing Wan’s ability to not leave bruises when beating up someone is quite scary. No bruise, no proof. And it’s not like her own family would be stupid enough to sell Jing Wan out. Even Liu-shi and LJY who hate her would still keep their mouths shut because they would get implicated too. Partially feel bad for Jing Wan’s parents who are completely shocked ahahha, her parent’s aren’t exactly good parents, but they are cute as characters.

Tbh, Li Ru Yu’s plan, it actually would do much more damage if Jing Wan actually had feelings for CZM. Unfortunately, Jing Wan doesn’t really care about him all that much, this is more damage to CZM than to Jing Wan.
