Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 219.2: Learning From Other’s Mistake, Sightseeing
When she tried to plea for help towards the people on the shores, that bodyguard came down. She frantically retreated backwards, yet that bodyguard quickly reached out, grabbing her by the hair, having her pressed into the water, and after a while, had her pulled up again. In such a manner, this repeated numerous times. Miss Gu no longer had the strength to struggle, reaching her last breath.
The bodyguard had her pulled up, throwing her onto the stone steps, and just clapping his hands and leaving. From beginning to end, there wasn’t a single rippled on his face.
And this entire process was seen by many people on the two sides of the river. These people included the older brothers of the Luo family.
Some young misses that were timid didn’t dare to look, hurriedly leaving. And some, although also scared, yet seemingly were also very curious, staying behind in the end. And naturally there were also those that were watching in high spirit.
Just, everyone respectively had their complicated feelings inside.
Have to say, among these people, to be considered to have that bit of relation as relatives, Luo Jing Bo’s relation with her was considered the closest. However, at this very moment, he was completely expressionless. Never mind sympathizing or pitying, that gaze was practically just looking at a dead object.
Little sis didn’t want a third person to insert a foot between him and his wife, then for her, it should also be the same. Towards those attempting to approach his younger sister’s future husband, he naturally didn’t have the least bit of good feelings.
“Jing Bo, it’s still better to let someone send her back. After all, it’s someone that came out from our home. If we leave her to die here, even if done by someone under Jin Qinwang, towards our family’s reputation, it still isn’t good.” Luo Jing De quietly whispered.
Luo Jing Bo indifferently nodded his head. However, she was soaking wet all over, and even half dead and unconscious, so can’t call for the steward or bodyguard to carry her back. That way, it won’t be just ruining her pure reputation, the Luo family will also get denounced by others.
If that Miss Gu was Jing Wan’s tail, then her niece Gu Lian’er was just Luo Jing Bo’s tail.
Luo Jing Bo turned his head, and sure enough, saw the deathly pale Gu Lian’er, her tears like a broken pearl necklace, completely uncontrollable. Seeing Luo Jing Bo looking over, like as if finding her backbone, “Older cousin………” She pitifully just wanted to squeeze over.
“Take your servant girls and have her sent back. Since Jin Qinwang let someone do it, even if she dies, she’ll just die in vain. Also, you should learn from other’s mistake. If you continue to have delusions about what you shouldn’t have delusions about, you will probably end up the same way.” Luo Jing Bo very clearly warned.
Gu Lian’er perhaps was delicate person like a dodder flower, but she wasn’t completely unable to make sense of people’s words, her face deathly pale, not daring to move forward another step.
Luo Jing Bo no longer bothered with her, “Since the younger brothers and sisters all ran off without a trace, let’s also go stroll around?”
Luo Jing De and Luo Jing Ming nodded their heads. Although they took part in every year, but every year, there were still differences.
They were grown men, having their servant boy follow by their side was more than enough.
Seeing them leave, Gu Lian’er bit her lip, looking to her motionless little aunt on the stone steps. She also wanted to ignore, but it wasn’t possible. Could it be that she was already dead? She didn’t dare confirm, feeling unbearably afraid inside. Glancing at the servant girl that was loss for what to do at her side, “Still not going down to check on your family’s miss?”
Clearly she was similarly scared to death, but that servant girl couldn’t not go. She tremblingly went down, shaking as she extended her hands, discovering that she was still breathing. Looks like she just fainted. The servant girl couldn’t help crying tears of joy, “Still, alive.”
Of course she was still alive. Since already said to leave a breath, then naturally they won’t kill her. For better or worse, she was still considered Luo third miss’s relative. Killing the person ultimately wasn’t too good. However, presumably this lesson was enough, if there’s a next time, of course there won’t be another chance.
Gu Lian’er ordered her own servant girl to go help.
They worked together to have her supported up, letting the servant girl carry on her back, moving step by step towards the place where the carriages were parked.
Seeing this situation, those who were unaware were successively astonished. This was having fallen into the river?
Those in the know however just sneered, “Got pressed into the river by Jin Qinwang’s person, having her mouth stuffed and arms broken. Jin Qinwang took Luo third miss to release the river lanterns. The two young ladies that were close with Luo third miss both kept away, with just this stupid one approaching. She should really look at herself with that behavior. You all should’ve seen that appearance of hers at the time, practically unbelievable.”
“Perhaps one that believes oneself to be peerless in beauty, and any man would all be attracted.”
“Really hard to say. All say under Jin Qinwang’s feet is a path made of the bones of beauties. And that isn’t just a joke.”
Jin Qinwang lusted after beauties, but it was always him picking others. Those that throw themselves at him on their own, not a single one will have a good end.
The onlookers looked to one another in dismay. Then looking to the unconscious Miss Gu again, they carried a bit of pity, but even more was disdain.
Once the crowd all more or less scattered, Yuan Qiao Qiao and Zhou Ying Shuang finally reappeared by the river again. The situation just now, they also all took in. At this very moment, they just looked to one another, momentarily not knowing what to say.
After a moment of silence. Yuan Qiao Qiao suddenly smiled, “Ying Shuang, right now this place is quite peaceful, so let’s quickly go release the lanterns, else later it’ll get crowded again.” She excitedly grabbed several lanterns, then calling her servant girls to help, precisely the place where Jing Wan released her lanterns just now, and precisely the place where that Miss Gu nearly lost her life. Yuan Qiao Qiao had the lanterns released into the waters one by one. And seemingly disdaining that they were moving too slowly, she even used her hands to stroke the waters.
As for that little lantern peddler that had never seen this kind of disturbance before, he was nearly frightened silly, and also could only regain his senses on his own.
Then there were those who were unclear of the situation, and seeing this place very open, although doubtful, but because Yuan Qiao Qiao and them were present, they also didn’t think too much, buying their lanterns and going down too.
Jing Wan strolled around by Li Hong Yuan’s side, looking left and right, experiencing the rich festive atmosphere. This was something that definitely won’t exist in her past life. That’s why, all these years, towards the various festivals, Jing Wan’s fondness never once weakened. Moreover, the capital and Qi’an Fu were very different.
The pavilions and corridors built on the riverbank had many bends and turns with lanterns of flowers, birds, fish, and bugs suspended along the path. Of course, there were also very rectangular lanterns, and on the white paper, similarly was a beautiful painting painted on.
The countless trial games, and hearing that wave of cheers, it was the liveliness and bustle that belonged to this time period.
“Want it?” Li Hong Yuan’s voice softly sounded by her ear.
Jing Wan subconsciously rubbed her ears, turning her head to glance at him, and then having her gaze shifted onto that tall platform filled with lanterns. Pass three trials and obtain a lantern. The last prize was hung on the tall beam in the center. That was a colored glass lantern, but it wasn’t the usual shape. Rather, it was a person stepping on auspicious clouds, holding the jade hare in hand. Although it was just half a person tall, it was very vivid and lifelike, and because it was lit inside, despite clad in light muslin, it didn’t appear frivolous, instead as if carrying an aura of immortality. This level of craftsmanship was incredible.
No wonder that many men and women circled around. However, seemingly not that many were able to pass the second trial.
“If Wan Wan wants, I’ll have it fetched over.”
T/N: The person holding the jade hare is always a reference to Chang’e the goddess of the moon.
