Restless (2)
When they saw Jing Wan, Li Hong Yuan was also present. After they gave their greetings, Li Hong Yuan said a few words to Luo Old Madam and then left. He ultimately was a man, so continuing to stay here wasn’t appropriate.
Shortly after, just as Jing Wan was about to get up, Luo Old Madam hurriedly went forward, “What are you getting up for, quickly sit down.”
Seeing her grandmother similarly have her treated as a fragile object, Jing Wan obediently sat down, else don’t know how her grandmother will nag. One has to know, these days, a certain man also because of some of her unintentional movements just grew dark in the face, nearly about to become a dark face god. Jing Wan naturally just learned from experience. At certain designated times, her grandmother’s destructive power was absolutely a sharply rising straight line. Something that she can get away with in front of her husband by acting cute, her grandmother can directly have her smacked back.
Luo Old Madam sat down next to Jing Wan, having her carefully looked over. Seeing that she wasn’t any different from usual, she gradually relaxed. Shortly after, she inquired in detail about Jing Wan’s situation, from her body condition, to her diet, even asking about Li Hong Yuan’s attitude and so on.
Regarding the ones in front, Jing Wan was rather patient, but this last bit, if it was just her grandmother alone, Jing Wan didn’t mind telling her, but the problem was that right now there were this many people. Even if Jing Wan’s face has become thicker now, it was still awkward.
“Look at what grandmother is saying, how wangye is towards wangfei, everyone is all able to see. Now that wangfei is pregnant with wangye’s child, don’t know how happy wangye feels, so towards wangfei, that is certainly treating even better.” Sun Yi Jia interrupted with a smile, even winking at Jing Wan in a place where the others can’t see.
One thing that wasn’t too good about having elders present was just that one can’t speak as one pleased.
The so called close friend of the boudoir, that was just someone where words that can’t be said to the elders and one’s husband, all can be shared with them, regardless whether good or bad.
Jing Wan also returned Sun Yi Jia a smile.
Luo Old Madam also came to realization. Her words were indeed somewhat untimely, “It seems I’ve become muddled.”
“Grandmother is just too happy.”
The conversation afterwards was much more casual, no longer revolving around Jing Wan. However, because there weren’t any young girls present, what they discussed all centered around child rearing. From her grandmother Luo Old Madam, to her eldest aunt Wang-shi, then to her sister-in-law Sun Yi Jia, that was all having their own set of insight. Of course, there were also those without anything to say, for instance, her third aunt Liu-shi. After all, she had raised a daughter like Luo Jing Ying, so it indeed wasn’t good for her to say anything, just quietly listening to the side.
However, thinking of Luo Jing Ying, Liu-shi’s complexion was more or less somewhat unwell. Three years ago, she had already gotten pregnant, yet in the end, ended up like that. Right now, it was a bit better than in the beginning, but merely a seventeen year old youth in the spring of her life, yet she didn’t have any life, just like having one foot in the grave. Don’t know if it continues like this, what it will be like.
Jin Qinwang Manor kept them for the meal, so the Luo family directly stayed until the late afternoon before going back.
Under normal circumstances, the maiden family at this time will also give people to the pregnant married daughter, including an experienced mama, and perhaps also young and beautiful servant girls. As for what for, it goes without saying.
Just, on Jing Wan’s matter, her mother Zhang-shi can only move aside, with Luo Old Madam having the final say in everything. However, Luo Old Madam was just like as if forgetting this matter, not even mentioning a word of.
After returning to the Luo Manor, Zhang-shi was conflicted for a good while before finally deciding to go look for her mother-in-law.
TN: All
“What did you come for?” After half a day had gone by, Luo Old Madam this while had returned to normal.
“Mother, I saw that the servant girls by Wan Wan’s side are all still dressed like a maiden. Wan Wan’s temper, we all know. Prior to marrying, she already didn’t like yiniang, tongfang, and such. But, right now, Wan Wan is pregnant, so how can she serve wangye? If Wan Wan’s temper is too unyielding, unwilling to offer up the servant girls by her side, won’t she be at odds with wangye?”
“So, what do you want to do?” Luo Old Madam coldly said.
Zhang-shi sensed Luo Old Madam’s abnormality, but the specifics, she didn’t know, so could only harden her head, “Should we directly send a person or two over for Wan Wan?”
“Then just wait for your daughter to hate you for the rest of your life.” Luo Old Madam was furious. This daughter-in-law still didn’t have any improvements at all, “Just take care of your husband. Everything else, don’t bother.”
Zhang-shi felt wronged. She knew that her daughter didn’t like, but she can’t just because she doesn’t like just become estranged with her husband. The two of them have to spend a lifetime together after all.
Have to say, was Zhang-shi’s thoughts wrong? Actually, it wasn’t wrong. Out of ten mothers, at least nine will all think the same. Speaking from this bit, Luo Old Madam could still understand her, but the more it was like this, the more it proved that Zhang-shi wasn’t close with her own daughter. Because she wasn’t close, that’s why she didn’t understand the situation at all.
Under normal circumstances, when the husband promises to only be a pair for life, after returning to the maiden home, shouldn’t the first one to share this news with be one’s own mother? Yet, Zhang-shi knew nothing about Jing Wan’s situation. That’s why she would come up with such a ‘stupid idea’ at this time.
Jing Wan not being close with Zhang-shi, Luo Old Madam has never felt it was Jing Wan’s fault.
“Enough, just go back, and go do what you should be doing, don’t think of these pointless things all day, just wait to hold your outer grandson or granddaughter in the future.” As Luo Old Madam said this, she even glanced at her a few more times, “Don’t you dare act on your own without permission and do something stupid.”
Zhang-shi felt even more wronged. She really wasn’t thinking of acting on her own without permission, else she wouldn’t have come to look for Luo Old Madam.
“Still not leaving, waiting for me to invite you to eat?”
“This daughter-in-law will take one’s leave.” Zhang-shi could only leave.
Speaking of which, Luo Old Madam’s attitude towards her has never been that good. When it didn’t involve anything, it was just living together in harmony, but once it involved something, Zhang-shi nine times out of ten will all get scolded. Zhang-shi was also used to it, so she wouldn’t go as far as to be angry with Luo Old Madam. Just, towards Jing Wan, she was still worried, fearing that she would be too unyielding and get into a fight with Li Hong Yuan. The other party was a wangye. If they get into a conflict, their family all won’t be able to help back her. Thus, at night, she went to look for her husband Luo Rong Yan.
Luo Rong Yan this time climbed relatively quickly. Originally, he just held an idle post, but now, he has become a low fifth rank vice director. He can be said to have jumped several ranks. Although, from the perspective of the entire capital, he still wasn’t prominent, it was nevertheless truly entering the officialdom circle.
Luo Rong Yan was never a fool. Some things, even if not knowing clearly, as long as he was willing to think it over, then he for the most part can figure out seventy to eighty percent. Especially for many things, Luo Pei Shan although didn’t state clearly, he didn’t conceal that tightly either. As long as one was attentive, there will always be clues.
“Don’t think too much. Our daughter and wangye will be fine. Our daughter has always had her own views. She knows what she’s doing. If you get involved, perhaps it will cause trouble for her instead. Just peacefully spend your days.”
“Really not a problem?”
“Really not a problem.” Luo Rong Yan confidently said.
Hearing him say this, Zhang-shi also just relaxed. In this lifetime, the one she trusted the most was probably just Luo Rong Yan.
Le Cheng Emperor that day also gave a large amount of bestowments. From it, one for the most part can tell, he was very happy. And this rare honor, only back then when Kang Wangfei was pregnant—— with Le Cheng Emperor’s first grandchild, was there a bestowment, yet it was all unable to compare with Jing Wan right now. Just, among the bestowments, there were also two palace maids, which made one not that happy.
And inside Jin Qinwang Manor, there were similarly people that, because of Jing Wan’s pregnancy, began to stir.
