Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 99.6: The Dust Has Settled

Li Hong Yuan coldly snort, “How? Can this prince have them both slaughtered? Besides, if one has to slaughter, it should still be to slaughter that pig from imperial uncle Zhong’s family, no? This kind of thing has long been common, this prince is already used to it. Speaking of which, Sun Yi Jia’s luck is still considered quite good. Those few in the past, if not dead, then it was injured, otherwise it was just mysteriously having their purity ruined. In any case, not a single one had a good ending. Perhaps, this prince’s wife cursing ability is weakening. This should be worth celebrating.” Li Hong Yuan swung his sleeve and left, in the end, only leaving behind one line: ‘This prince will inform imperial father, asking him to retract his decree.’

Don’t know whether his words were said in irony, or he really felt it was worth celebrating, but his final words rather didn’t need to be doubted.

The remaining people all looked to one another in dismay. It was just over like this?

“Old six was already discontent with this marriage. Right now, he’s merely pushing the boat along the currents, even imperial father can’t say anything about this.” Li Hong Yi said.

“Then, what now?” The Grand Elder Princess asked, as she looked to Luo Jing Bo, who was still kneeling on the ground, and Sun Yi Jia, who was standing next to him.

“My daughter……..”

“This commoner will take responsibility, this commoner will marry her, as long as Miss Sun doesn’t disdain. In any case, this commoner hasn’t married nor has an engagement either.” Luo Jing Bo unhesitantly said.

Ding Duchess’s words were stuck in her throat.

In reality, of the people present, which one didn’t know, in the current moment, there was simply no room for Sun Yi Jia to disdain. She wasn’t the former heavenly noble daughter anymore. Never mind that her face was ruined, she even nearly lost her purity. Right now, to be able to marry Luo Jing Bo, this kind of man, in other people’s eyes, was already an enormous good fortunate. Perhaps, there might even be people that feel sorry for Luo Jing Bo.

“Good child, quickly get up.” The Grand Elder Princess personally had him helped up, “Sir Luo, what do you think?”

Luo Pei Shan nodded, “My Luo family men ought to have this sense of responsibility.”

As for the Ding Duke couple, alright, there was simple no need to inquire their opinion on this matter. Other than agreeing to this marriage, was there still a second choice? Of course, they could let Sun Yi Jia ‘devote herself to buddha’^[1] for the rest of her life. But, no matter how foolish one was, one still wouldn’t choose to do this, right? Luo Jing Bo, aside from his family background being a bit lower, was definitely considered an ideal son-in-law, compared to the previous Jin Qinwang, don’t know how many times better. For Sun Yi Jia, this was practically like rising from the dirt into the high clouds again.

“However, shouldn’t we inform Jin Qinwang of this matter?” Luo Old Madam said.

Everyone fell silent once again. Reasonably speaking, as long as the Emperor retracts his decree, then Sun Yi Jia will be freed from this marriage, no longer having anything to do with Jin Qinwang in the slightest. However, with his personality, who knows whether or not he’ll go against common sense again?

Then, who to go inform him was also a problem.

“I’ll go.” Sun Yi Lin said. Have to say, right now, he was still in disbelief. Just two days ago, he was still troubled over his younger sister having fallen for Luo third young master, hoping for a turn of events. Yet, today, everything was all accomplished? This was practically like ‘when feeling sleepy, immediately having someone hand over a pillow’, smooth like it was a dream.

Sun Yi Jia actually more or less had the same thought as him. She even secretly pinched herself several times.

Sun Yi Lin very much wanted to ask Li Hong Yuan, whether or not this was his handiwork, but how could it just happen to be Luo Jing Bo? Moreover, the reason why they would come here is because of Miss Luo, but Miss Luo playing the qin was also a last moment decision. Could it be that everything was all a coincidence? But Zhong Qinwang’s heir wishing to sully his younger sister definitely wasn’t a coincidence.

The party left the small building. Sun Yi Lin glanced to his dawdling younger sister, and then glanced to the similarly not moving Luo Jing Bo. He sighed inside, and subsequently went out. No one noticed that glistening little look in Jing Wan’s eyes.

“Luo third young master……” Sun Yi Jia looked to Luo Jing Bo, subconsciously carrying a bit of caution.

Have to say, one can’t blame Sun Yi Jia for being like this. The current trend was just as such. Even if she was a proud noble daughter, at this moment, she still would feel inferior, and can’t help feeling timid, can’t help feeling worried and scared, scared that the person she admires would disdain her.

Luo Jing Bo also didn’t know what to say at the moment either, suddenly blushing. He looked to the skies and looked to the ground, but just didn’t dare look at Sun Yi Jia, “That um, Miss Sun, right now, I’m just a ‘scholar graduate’^[2], and won’t be participating in the spring metropolitan civil service exam^[3] this year either. However, three years later, I definitely will, I will work hard and won’t let you suffer……….”

Sun Yi Jia suddenly began crying again, yet not because she felt wronged, but rather because she was moved and happy. Turns out, while she was feeling nervous, he not only didn’t disdain her, but was even worried that he wasn’t worthy of her. In his eyes, she was still that proud daughter of heaven, and not the ruined beauty that has fallen into the dirt, ridiculed and disdained by others.

“How come you’re crying, could it be that I said something wrong? If I did something wrong, just tell me directly, don’t cry, don’t cry……….” Luo Jing Bo was at a loss for what to do, wanting to wipe her tears for her, yet didn’t dare touch her. Where was he anywhere still like his usual carefree self, both clumsy and foolish to death. “If you feel it’s not good, we can postpone our marriage, wait until I pass the imperial exam…………”

Sun Yi Jia instinctively covered his mouth, “I’m just too happy. You’re fine like this, even if you’re a scholar graduate for your whole life, it all doesn’t matter.”

Because of the sensation on his lip, Luo Jing Bo was a bit stiff. It was soft and tender, even carrying a bit of fragrance. Suddenly, he turned and ran away in a frenzy.

Sun Yi Jia was a bit stupefied, however recalling his brightly red face, she still giddily began laughing.

The people outside that hadn’t walked far saw Luo Jing Bo looking like he was chased by a ghost, what happened? However, seeing him both embarrassed and ashamed, then thinking to Sun Yi Jia, who’d stayed behind……don’t assume that only Sun Yi Lin noticed Sun Yi Jia hesitating. Some things, everyone just needed to have a tacit understanding inside.

“Sir Luo, your esteemed manor’s young master, how come appears to be a bit……” Li Hong Ming slightly raised his brow.

“Ah, probably number two’s wife forgot to arrange a tongfang for him.” Luo Pei Shan unconcernedly said.

A bunch of wangyes experienced in romance all collectively fell silent, unsure whether to feel ashamed, or to look down on the inexperienced Luo Jing Bo.

Luo Jing Bo wished he could find a crack to squeeze into. However Sun Yi Lin was actually somewhat gratified. His younger sister’s eyes were actually very good. He casted a glance at the nearby Jing Wan who was following by Luo Old Madam’s side, his heart aching………..

The crowd encountered Eunuch Mu waiting outside. After bowing, “Wangye, our master has asked, your family’s pig, oh, no, it’s esteemed heir, where is he right now? Also, this matter’s cause and effect, asking Wangye to investigate clearly. Is it someone scheming against our master, or against Miss Sun? Please do give our master an explanation.”

(T/N: Tbh Eunuch Mu’s a pretty black-bellied character, I guess that’s what happens when you work for LHY for more than 10years ahhahaha)

“Go back and tell Hong Yuan, this princess will personally investigate this matter, and will definitely let him be satisfied.” The Grand Elder Princess spoke from the side.

“Yes, this servant will definitely inform master. This servant will withdraw first.”

Jing Wan also suspected whether or not that was Li Hong Yuan’s handiwork, but she only suspected.

As long as the outcome was good, that was more than enough. The rest, she didn’t need to worry about. Her mood that was ruined by Li Ru Yu and Luo Jing Ying previously, at the moment, was practically soaring. En, can slowly think about how to brainwash her own older brother; two people for an entire lifetime is the proper way. Whether or not Chen Zheng Min was worth her teaching, she still needed to wait. But her own older brother, she can just mess with however she wants, and then, she can also go bother her future sister-in-law.

[1] This idiom is a bit hard to translate, the literal translation is ‘a green oil lamp and an ancient buddha statue’. This idiom is a metaphor for the loneliness in a buddhist way of life. In the context of this sentence it’s meant to mean ‘to remain in a life of solitude’, or ‘to give up one’s youth’.

[2] Scholar graduate – The full translations of the term ‘ju zi’ would be ‘a scholar who’s been recommended for the imperial civil service exam’. In certain cases, you have to pass a lower level examination to qualify and be recommended. In a sense, they’ve ‘graduated’ from being an average scholar, and once they pass the civil service exam, they can take up an official post.

[3] Spring Metropolitan Civil Service Exam – Held once every three years in the spring, or in the year after a provincial exam is held; this exam is divided into three rounds, each round taking three days. The court exam is the last and final round of it.

T/N: It’s kinda cute how everyone auto assumes everything is all plotted by ML ahahaha anyways things will slowly unravel in later chapters. You can think of incidences in this novel like how things are laid out in mystery novels. Incident happens first, then clues and character introductions later. This chapter was really long, I thought I would never reach the end when I was translating. Also my patreon is about to reach next goal soon, so might have a 6 chap a week schedule for next month. Goal reached! Thank you everyone for the support! ??????
