Is it worth it? In order to break away from having ones fate controlled by ones family, is it worth it? Perhaps there was also that bit of pride, to have been able to reach this step, falling into the dust.

What if I say it is worth it?

Jing Wan nodded, Then it is worth it.

Little sister Wan, youre great. This kind of conduct clearly shouldve been firmly reprimanded. She was rebelling against convention. She didnt know what was good for her. She lived in fortune but didnt know fortune. A conduct that even her fifth brother wouldnt approve of. Yet, Jing Wan said it was worth it. She unhesitantly chose to stand at her side.

The path you chose yourself, even if on your knees, you still need to finish. Its fine as long as you dont regret it.

Little sister Wan is worried I wont be able to endure the hardships? Actually, the situation is still far from the worst case scenario. Fifth brother will always protect me, and grandmother also wont neglect me either. Food and clothing will be a little worse. People that mock me in public and in secret, there will be a little more of. Servants that I can order around, there will be a little less of, and wicked servants encountered will be a bit more. Just these, thats all. Just, Im afraid, in order to protect me, its inevitable that he will be threatened and have to make compromises. After all, hes currently a close minister to the Emperor, and has more of an advantage than others in many things.

Hes male, and his abilities arent bad either. Even if there are some troublesome matters, he can still think of a way to take care of it himself. Moreover, a man also needs to be able to give and take. To have these things treated as grinding is not necessarily impossible. When hes even able to handle facing his own familys schemes with ease, then those people outside, what is there to fear for him? Besides, you are his full-blooded younger sister, protecting you, doing a bit of something for you is also what he should do. To only have this lifetimes fate of being blood-related, and since the relationship is harmonious, then you ought to cherish and protect it.

Little sister Wans meaning is him making compromises for my sake, enduring in silence and such, I dont need to feel guilty about, and in contrast, can order him around as much as I like, looking for him for whatever I need? If he helps me take care of it, that is rightfully how it should be, and if hes unable to, then hes just incompetence? Its this meaning, right? Sun Yi Jias two eyes glistened like a small childs as she looked to her, carrying a bit of small excitement like shed just discovered something incredible, while she waited for her acknowledgement. Using a phrase from her past life to explain, this was precisely please praise me.

Jing Wan was once again helpless. The more she interacted with Sun Yi Jia, the more she felt Sun Yi Jia was seriously different from the rumors. Her outer appearance was distinctly prideful, yet underneath, she was actually very rebellious, and also somewhat mischievous. In the past, perhaps because it had always been hidden very well that even she herself didnt realize. Jing Wan didnt dare to confirm whether or not it was herself that had this side of Sun Yi Jia set free. If it really was her, then that truly is a sin. Despite clearly knowing that Sun Yi Jia had deliberately misinterpreted her meaning, seeing that small expression of hers, and that wound on her face also making her look pitiful in contrast, Jing Wan hardened her head and nodded. If you want to comprehend it like this, its also fine.

Seeing her narrowing her eyes like a small fox, Jing Wan observed a moment of silence for Sun Yi Lin in her heart. In the future, if he gets sold by his own younger sister, by all means, please dont pin it on her head.

Since Sun Yi Jia is already prepared to face the future, Jing Wan no longer said anything more. It was meaningless.

Jing Wan once again looked to her face, In the future, dont so this kind of thing again. Harming oneself to achieve ones goals, in the end, isnt very good.

This time was merely coincidentally matching the occasion. Id only just let myself further worsen an unavoidable calamity by a little. I myself rather have never thought of purposefully doing such before.

Its fine as long as big sister Jia understands inside.

Little sister is worried that in the future, if I encounter something, I might do something extreme? I wont. Just like what little sister Wan previously said to me, Occasionally crying is fine, but need to find the right person, and need to cry towards the person that knows to cherish you. Its the same logic. Without worth, even if you die, some people will not shed a single tear.

Miss, Ding Duchess has arrived. Suddenly Gong mamas voice sounded outside.

Sun Yi Jia blanked. She although knew that someone from her family would come, she never thought that her mother would personally come. In Sun Yi Jias eyes, the most likely to come was her eldest sister-in-law.

Taking advantage of the moment, Jing Wan rapidly had all the used paper on the table put away. She didnt hide it either, only casually covering it up with a blank white paper. Just need to take it away later, and itll be done with. She calmly drank her tea and ate some desserts, without the least bit of guilt and panic of having done something bad.

This level of composure, Sun Yi Jia also believed herself to be inferior to.

Soon after, the people that were kicked out by Sun Yi Jia also came in one after another. If madam came and saw that the servants were all outside, they would definitely suffer.

Immediately after, a large group of people came in. Sun Yi Jia suddenly felt that shed thought too much. Originally, shed thought that her mother actually cared about this daughter of hers very much, but in reality, no. Her several sister-in-laws all came too. What was this about? Did they come to see her joke? Even if these so-called sister-in-laws wanted to come using the poor excuse of being worried about their little sister-in-law, as long as her mothers attitude was unyielding, she can completely refuse them. These sister-in-laws of hers didnt have the guts to disobey her mother.

Oh my, our Jiaer really did injure the face? How can this be good. A solemnly and extravagantly dressed young madam was the first to enter the room. Her tone and expression both unmistakably showing concern, but that joy at anothers misfortune in those eyes couldnt be more obvious. That hand, wearing very long nails, carelessly jabbed towards Sun Yi Jias face.

Sun Yi Jia expressionlessly dodged, coldly looking to this fourth sister-in-law of hers.

Evidently, even if Sun Yi Jia ruined her beauty, she still had this aloof arrogant look, greatly angering this young madam. She lowered her voice, This older sister-in-law sure wants to see, how long can Jiaer, whos turned ugly, still act arrogant until?

Fourth sister-in-law, mother is present. When was it your turn to walk in front. More people came in from behind. Another woman behind Ding Duchess opened her mouth and said.

Oh no, mother, dont be angry, this daughter-in-law was just momentarily worried about Jiaer, definitely didnt

Enough. Ding Duchess impatiently waved her hand, following which had her gaze placed onto Sun Yi Jia. Seeing her face, although she had care and concern, it was still very limited. Most was just various mixed feelings with complicated expressions.

Just like when she normally sees her, Sun Yi Jia expressionlessly and coldly greeted her mother.

Ding Duchesss lips moved, but some words, ultimately were not said. Before coming, shed already had an intense argument with Ding Duke regarding her matter. In the end, it was still her that compromised. Since youre injured, then properly take care. No need to think that much.

Ding Duchess was just about to properly ask Sun Yi Jias wet nurse about the specifics of wound, and whether there was truly no possible way of recovering back to normal, when she inadvertently noticed that there were still outsiders present. Seeing that she also had a white cloth wrapped around her neck, then she must be one of the girls that was also involved in the accident. Which familys Miss are you? Although Jing Wan had gone to Ding Duke Manor before, the only one with any impression towards her was just Sun Yi Jias eldest sister-in-law. However, this usually smooth and sociable person, at this time, chose to remain silent.

Luo familys Jing Wan greets Ding Duchess.

When everyone heard this, the expression on their faces were all slightly peculiar. Ding Duchesss gaze even held a bit of animosity.

So you are the one that invited our familys Jiaer out, how come just Jiaer injured her face, and you instead are standing there perfectly fine? Oh, right, you seem to have also fallen down to the river below, your life sure isnt ordinarily fortunate, and also not ordinarily sturdy either. That pair of eyes that were originally quite beautiful, yet carried a hateful judging look, looked to Jing Wan just like as if it was looking at something rare.

Jing Wan was very clear. There definitely wasnt just one that had similar thoughts. It was nothing more than just taking their anger out on someone, letting them have a target to vent their anger towards. However, relatively speaking Jing Wans good temper was also a match. If you treat her with courtesy, then she naturally will return the treatment equally. Jing Wan swept a glance at the others. The people that wanted to see a good play certainly werent in the minority. Even Ding Duchess had an aloof look. Rather, it was Sun Yi Jia, whose complexion was somewhat ugly, with an angry look surfacing in her eyes. Seeing as she was just about to flare up, Jing Wan opened her mouth ahead of her, Dare I ask, are these words representing the Ding Duke Manors opinions, or representing your own opinions?

The other party blanked, evidently not expecting for Jing Wan to have responded as such. So what if it represents the Ding Duke Manors opinions or my own opinions? Her expression became contemptuous. In her eyes, what difference was there between these two?
