“Last night, mother must have discussed with father for a very long time, right? Seeing that the area around your eyes are somewhat blue, perhaps you even stayed up the whole night? After learning that younger sister no longer has marriage value anymore, you all further can’t easily let go of my marriage. The reason why I’m telling you this is to let you be mentally prepared. Unless Luo third miss herself is unwilling, otherwise, I won’t marry anyone but her. If you all also agree, then naturally it is to everyone’s delight and satisfaction. But if you all don’t agree, I naturally will have to do a bit of something to accomplish my own goals. Originally, before younger sister met with mishap, I even thought of slowly scheming for this, but I suddenly realized, if the methods are too gentle, others will all treat you as a pushover, easy to manipulate. Mother, don’t try to secretly ruin Luo third miss’s reputation in the dark, and don’t think about following the usual plan either, borrowing younger cousin Ru Yu’s hand to have those young ladies that you look down on, yet attempted to approach me messed up and battered beyond recognition……”
“You already knew……”
“For younger cousin Ru Yu to be this hated among the young ladies of the capital like now, mother, you are at least half to blame, right? Mother, I admit, your skills are not bad, however in my opinion, it is still rather rough and shallow. In the past, your deeds, if I saw, I would try to interfere and block, but majority of the times, I pretend as if I didn’t know and just avoid those girls as much as possible. Because you are my mother, Ru Yu is my younger cousin, and they are just outsiders. But they are innocent after all, and merely because of their first awakening of love, even going in circles just to send me a bit of something, avoiding meeting me in person privately to give, it’s not like they did something outrageous and intolerable. I hope that in the future, mother can be lenient with them. Furthermore, the same methods used on Luo third miss, I probably won’t just do something as simple as blocking. You also need to understand your son. After all, I’ve finally fallen for just this one after all this time.”
Ding Duchess suddenly felt, in this son’s eyes, she was practically like a dancing clown. At the same time, this son of hers also wasn’t truly obedient, docile and harmless. He merely just had his sharp fangs and claws hidden, and once flashed out, perhaps it won’t just be as simple as seeing blood.
“I’m aware that once I’ve fallen in love, it’ll probably be for a lifetime. That’s why I won’t care about her reputation, her appearance, and further won’t care about whether or not her body is still pure. Even if she’s dead, I will still marry her memorial tablet.”
This was already a true and honest threat. Even if Ding Duchess really wanted to do a bit of something, she no longer dared to act. If her son really must have her, and if in the future, she really marries into the Ding Duke Manor, then she further won’t be able to bear. Others will only mock the Ding Duke Manor, mock her son!
“The things I will do next might make eldest brother feel threatened. Mother, you might as well directly tell him and father, I have no interest in the Ding Duke Manor. But if he truly is unable to believe and insist on tripping me and finding trouble for me, and with father thinking of every possible way to suppress me, then don’t blame me for being impolite and really compete with him. These years, I’ve endure enough. If one day, we brothers really destroy one another, then that is also all forced by them.”
Ding Duchess stared at him. Clearly yesterday before setting out, he was still that familiar person, but in the blink of an eye, he’s already become this unfamiliar. Her son has really grown up, his wings fully developed. She can no longer have him held in her palm. She didn’t know if she should be happy or feel a sense of loss.
Sun Yi Li glanced at the people in the room again, “Just let younger sister recuperate in White Dragon Temple. Going back to the Ding Duke Manor, her wound will heal slower. Even if everyone in the world does not heartache for her, there will always still be that one that will. I’ll head back first then.” With that said, he bowed towards Ding Duchess, didn’t wait for her to respond, and just turned to leave, clear-cut and merciless.
Sun Yi Jia finished being cute in Jing Wan’s arms and lifted her head, just happening to inadvertently see Sun Yi Lin’s retreating back, as well as her mother looking like she’d lost her soul. “Don’t know what my fifth brother said, but mother looks like she’s taken quite a heavy blow.”
“You previously didn’t hold back either.”
Sun Yi Jia wanted to say something, but saw in the room, the servant girls, who’ve yet to return to their senses from the shock earlier. In the past, they’ve always spared no effort in serving her, similarly also loyal and devoted, but the current situation was no longer the same. Continuing to follow herself, this master that doesn’t have any prospects, wasn’t a good choice. If they still chose to wholeheartedly follow herself, then she will do what she can to seek a good place of return for them. But if they give birth to other intentions, then just leave before it’s too late, each go their separate ways. “You all go out.”
Madam was still outside. Abandoning Miss and going out at this time, wasn’t that just looking for trouble?
“So it turns out you all on the surface serve me, but in actuality, only listens to my mother’s orders?” Sun Yi Jia softly spoke, but it was more than enough for the servant girls to hear. They originally wanted to hastily deny, but their master didn’t give them the chance to speak. “Get lost.” She overturned the table.
Seeing Sun Yi Jia get angry, each and every one were all quite frightened. It was still her wet nurse that was the most calm. To say something inappropriate, Sun Yi Jia was a young lady that she’d raised in the palm of her hand like a real daughter. For Sun Yi Jia to have suffered hardship, she was more heartbroken than anyone else. Even if her personality has greatly changed right now, in her eyes, this was also within reason. She didn’t say anything and just withdrew out the room first. With someone in the lead, the other servant girls all followed suit like they’d received a great pardon. It was still that saying, someone who doesn’t get angry suddenly getting angry was scary.
Sun Yi Jia used Jing Wan to block the gazes of those people outside and winked at Jing Wan, “Did I pretend well enough?”
Jing Wan poked her forehead, “You know fully well inside, don’t wait for me to come expose you.”
A person encountering huge changes, perhaps will become depressed, perhaps irritable, or perhaps vicious. Those were all very normal. Sun Yi Jia suddenly draping on such a layer of camouflage for herself, Jing Wan actually very much approved of. The so-called soft ones scared of the hard ones, the hard ones scared of the foolish ones, the foolish ones scared of the harsh ones, and the harsh ones scared of the suicidal ones. As long as she has the resolve to go all out, in the Ding Duke Manor, just how many were suicidal anyways? Afraid there wasn’t a single one. This way, it was even possible for her to hail as a tyrant in the Ding Duke Manor. Who would still dare to humiliate her?
(T/N: This made me think of ‘don’t mess with crazy people’)
However, this also needed a process. Sun Yi Jia wasn’t someone who could put on an act. Previously, when she was opposing her mother, if not for having true feelings as the foundation, bursting out her own inner thoughts, solely just based on acting, she is unable to reach that kind of effect. And ones like her fourth sister-in-law were purely just wretched people that liked looking for trouble.
The glimmer in Sun Yi Jia’s eyes darkened, “Little sister Wan, I’m very sad, truly very sad.”
“This is something you’ve long known. Right now, it has merely just been seen through, that’s all. Once the sadness passes, the days still have to continue.”
“Little sister Wan, you really are heartless.” That bit of sorrow of Sun Yi Jia’s was heartlessly scattered by Jing Wan. Thus she looked to her with an accusing look.
“What are you talking about, there’s still even more heartless things to follow. That’s why, if you don’t want to be heartlessly hurt by me, better get far away from me before it’s too late.”
“But I’ve already sunken into your warmth and unable to free myself. Even if you suddenly become heartless, I’ve also decided to never marry in this lifetime and depend on you for a lifetime.”
“What does you not marrying have anything to do with depending on me for a lifetime?” However, Jing Wan suddenly thought, it’s not like Sun Yi Jia’s thoughts can’t be realized. She would just have to marry into the Ding Duke Manor. Looking to Sun Yi Jia’s expression, she seemed….. “Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
“I’m being serious, little sister Wan you understand my meaning, right? My fifth brother, he…..”
Jing Wan pressed her finger onto Sun Yi Jia’s lips, “Since your mother is already here, people from the Luo family should have also come. I’ll go back and have a look. Right now, what you need to do is to just obediently recuperate, eat and sleep. By the time we return to the capital, you won’t have anymore peaceful days left.”
Seeing Jing Wan’s firm attitude, Sun Yi Jia also knew that it was pointless to continue, “I’ll send you off.”
“En.” Jing Wan didn’t forget to have that paper they previously wrote on rolled up and put into her sleeve to take away.
