Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife
Chapter 231.2: Visiting for the New Year, Retaliation
Chapter 231.2: Visiting for the New Year, Retaliation
That day, Luo Jing Ying was sitting in her own courtyard lost in thought, watching the snowflakes gently falling from the skies endlessly. At her side, there was no one serving, cold and chilly. However, she simply didn’t care. In any case, her body right now was already ruined, so what if cold air entered the body. She simply just didn’t have any hope. Even if there were people that wanted to let her recuperate her body and bear children again, don’t even think about it. She got pregnant the first time, and even with a boy, so just think she’s good at bearing children? To not give any benefits at all, and letting her give birth to children was even treated as giving her an enormous honor, are you dreaming?
The servants of the courtyard were probably currently nestled in the room, warming themselves by the fire, eating and playing mahjong.
A servant girl walked before Luo Jing Ying, giving her a hand furnace.
Luo Jing Ying retracted her gaze, landing it on the servant girl’s face. Her eyes were just like a pool of stagnant waters as she gathered up the hand furnace. That warm feeling made one subconsciously covet. “There aren’t any benefits at all here at my place. If you want to court favor, you’ve found the wrong place.”
That servant girl unconcernedly smiled, “Does Concubine Ying want to take revenge? Retaliate against that fickle and heartless man?”
Luo Jing Ying finally had a bit of emotion, but that look was still cold and indifferent, even carrying a bit of guard.
“Concubine Ying may be causing a disturbance in the qinwang manor rear court, but for Rui Qinwang, this simply is of no significance. Rui Wangfei has the qinwang manor controlled extremely tight and absolutely won’t let the matters of the rear court leak out. Rui Qinwang recently has had endless trouble in court, and because of this, his mood is very bad. Perhaps those actions of yours might one day thoroughly anger him. He indeed won’t take your life, but he completely can give you poison, making you dizzy and muddled all day, unable to even attempt suicide. Additionally, even if you’re, in a certain sense, helping Rui Wangfei, but when Rui Qinwang wants to sort you out, don’t count on her to help you. After all, that close mama of hers died because of you. You think she will be magnanimous and not bear grudges? She also can’t set herself against her own husband either.”
“Who are you?” Luo Jing Ying was even more on guard. Moreover, towards her words, she indeed cared a little.
“Concubine Ying doesn’t need to know who I am, you just need to tell me whether or not you want to take revenge.”
To say she didn’t want to retaliate, that was definitely false. She’d gotten deceived by Li Hong Ming that miserably. If not for him, she wouldn’t have fought with her family that stubbornly and would even have a pretty good marriage arrangement, her back erect straight as a di wife, and with the Head Minister of Appointments Manor as her backing, the people of her in-law’s family, not a single one would dare to offend her. Yet now, she’s instead ended up with nothing, just enduring, waiting for death.
“Rui Qinwang right now doesn’t have a son. Do you not want him to never have a son? Do you not want to see that broken hearted look of his in the future, when recalling that he originally should have a son, yet because of his own doing, lost it?” The servant girl enticed.
Luo Jing Ying’s heart suddenly began racing violently. Have to say, when Rui Qinwang first abandoned her, she still harbored a trace of hope to win him back, but after losing her child, never mind thoroughly severing her thoughts, she even grew to bitterly hate him. Thinking of him never having a son in this lifetime, she strangely felt exceptionally delighted inside. However, “You can think of a way yourself.”
The servant girl lightly smiled, “Concubine Ying doesn’t want to personally take revenge for your own child? Concubine Ying probably also knows that if not for Rui Qinwang’s inaction, causing you to repeatedly disturb the fetus, and in the end, even deliberately let someone provoke you, would your child be gone? He is the true culprit.”
Luo Jing Ying’s eyes overflowed with vicious currents. These things, she all knew. Didn’t those women precisely use these things to attack her with all their might, else why would she hate Rui Qinwang to this degree. “Bring it.”
That servant girl revealed an ‘as expected’ smile. Aiyaa, fortunately, she wasn’t really stupid beyond help. If one were to encounter a ‘no matter what would all be dead set on one man’ kind, that really would be troublesome. However, if really that kind of person, probably wouldn’t have looked for her. She had a small packet of medicine placed in Luo Jing Ying’s hand, “This medicine is colorless and tasteless, and after ingesting, from the pulse, unable to detect the problem. Moreover, it also won’t have any obvious signs of poisoning either. At most, it’s just similar to a cold, being dizzy for a few days. That’s why, as long as Concubine Ying is careful, then definitely won’t be discovered.”
Luo Jing Ying’s eyes lit up slightly. She originally still carried a ‘dragging him down with her’ kind of thought, but since this is the case, she should just properly live, live to see him wallow in regret, heheheh………….
The servant girl looked to her smile, rubbing the goosebumps on her arm. When women go crazy, it really was very scary. It’s best to leave quickly. It ultimately won’t be good to get discovered.
On the second day of the new year, it was for the married daughters to return to their maiden home.
Wang-shi and Liu-shi’s maiden family were in the capital, so naturally needed to go back. However, Zhang-shi and Wu-shi’s maiden family weren’t. As such, they didn’t need to specially leave someone to receive guests. Zhang-shi wasn’t skilled in this area, but Wu-shi had been in charge of the household for a few years back in Qi’an Fu. Although at the time, the social dealings weren’t many, so in this aspect, she was still far inferior to Wang-shi, but receiving ‘one’s own family’, it was still adequate, and Zhang-shi can just help out from the side.
As for the grandchildren generation, the two married young ladies certainly will come back. Little Wang-shi’s child was already four months old, and will also be taken back together with her to the Wang family. As for Sun Yi Jia, firstly, she didn’t want to return to the Ding Duke Manor, and secondly, she was about to give birth. If by chance it were to get shifted ahead of time, she can flare up at any time. Never mind herself, no one in the entire Luo family will allow her to go out.
Jing Wan’s courtyard was actually quite lively. Not only did the two already married tang older sisters came over, the young misses that came together with their mothers to their maternal family were also here.
Jing Wan’s eldest tang sister’s personality was actually quite similar to her mother Wang-shi’s. They were both the type that very much knew how to judge the hour and size up the situation. And what kind of attitude she should have towards the people of the Luo family, she was all very clear. For instance, with Jing Wan, she knew she needed to get close to, but because she was several years older than Jing Wan, and previously haven’t met in several years, as such, it certainly wasn’t good to be overly intimate all of a sudden. She can only make progress little by little, for example, for those high quality rouge and powder Jing Wan sent, and also that share of discount at the Rouge Pavilion, she should all express her thanks towards her, and in this way, pull in the relationship step by step.
Jing Wan understood the reason within, but this eldest tang sister didn’t have any bad intentions to begin with, and her methods she could also accept, so she didn’t particularly dislike.
As they chatted and laughed, unknown as to why, they just turned onto the topic of entering the palace yesterday.
“Little sister Wan, it’s said that her highness, the Empress, has the intention to let the Head Minister of Works’s second di daughter become Kang Qinwang’s second wangfei, is this true?” Yuan Qiao Qiao curiously asked.
“Who did you hear from? I don’t know.” Jing Wan said in astonishment.
“From my mother. Yesterday, I didn’t enter the palace, but my mother said, her Highness, the Empress, later had that girl left behind.”
“This, I actually don’t know, I later went to go meet her Highness, Noble Consort Su.”
“Oh, if this really is the case, then that girl matched with Kang Qinwang, really is a pity. Isn’t it said that although Kang Qinwang got his life back, his body is nevertheless damaged? Who knows what it’ll be like in the future, that girl isn’t much older than you.”
“Don’t listen to gossip, Kang Qinwang is an imperial prince, so naturally has the heaven’s protection. Perhaps he’ll just completely recover some day.” Sun Yi Jia said with a smile, using a bamboo stick to stab a piece of fruit. It’d been specially warmed up and had been preserved during the autumn, which really wasn’t easy.
Yuan Qiao Qiao made a face at Sun Yi Jia, and afterwards, expressed that she won’t say anymore.
The others all began laughing too.
However, Jing Wan felt the Empress taking a fancy to the Head Minister of Works family’s young miss was extremely probable. The Head Minister of Works, compared with the other five ministries’ head minister, in terms of age, he occupied an enormous advantage. The others, not one wasn’t fifty or sixty, yet only he alone was less than forty, and can be said to be young and promising. Although can’t compare with the Ministry of Appointments and Ministry of Revenue in terms of power and influence, but his future cannot be measured. Truthfully speaking, just in terms of fathers, that girl was even more honorable than Jing Wan. Never mind a second wangfei, even as the original wangfei, it was all doable.
Just based on what Jing Wan learned from her grandfather’s side, this Head Minister of Works seemingly didn’t belong in the neutral faction. However, exactly who he was loyal to was still pending discussion.
As for Kang Qinwang’s body, regardless whether it was good or not, during the new years holiday, temporarily won’t be able to know. Once it passes the fifteenth, seeing the movements in court, it will probably become clear.
