Chapter 44: Always Reaching Her Hands

Luo Old Madam had the most steady mama at her side remain at Elegant Haitang Residence. Even if she found Zhang-s.h.i.+ unpleasing to the eye, she still said a few words to her, letting her put some thoughts towards her own daughter. Already at such an age, dont always be indulging in those flowery poetry all day.

In the past, Luo Old Madam for the most part didnt bother with her. This was the first time she said it so clearly on the surface. Zhang-s.h.i.+s face reddened in embarra.s.sment, and she softly complied.

Luo Old Madam left and took all the other unrelated people together with her.

And just as the old doctor had said, after everyone all left, not even a hour later, Jing Wan woke up. The people serving her had long helped her clean herself and changed her clothes. Refresh and cleaned, she didnt feel the slightest bit unwell, probably just like shed only slept for a bit.

Looking to the medicine, said to be used to calm the nerves, before her, Jing Wans brows were somewhat in a knot. Towards these bitter decoctions, she still was somewhat unable to stomach. Besides, she really wasnt frightened. Old doctor, can you not randomly prescribe medicine? Can I not drink it? But her mother with a tearful look was standing to the side watching, if she doesnt drink it, shell probably have to face her mothers tears again.

Miss, just this one does. If youre really fine, you dont need to drink again. Its also to let old madam and madam feel better some.

Whats wrong with mamas leg? Jing Wan accepted the medicine bowl and saw that Gong mamas walking was somewhat limp.

Qing Zhu quickly explained in a few words and exaggerated Gong mamas previous explanation a bit, even blaming herself for not being able to protect miss.

Gong mama tacitly approved Qing Zhus words, because some things simply cant be explained. With misss intelligence, if she really wanted to get to the bottom of it, then it was very likely that shell sense something wrong. What Gong mama want was for her to give up on asking more. For someone like her, at a time like this, she also chose to back down.

And sure enough, Jing Wan hurriedly had her go back and rest, and for the time being, she doesnt need to come serve. Jing Wan didnt have the slightest intention of inquiring further. She then comforted Qing Zhu with a few words. In that short period of time, before Jing Wan lost consciousness, her memories were actually quite blurry, just like certain dreamscapes. For the most part, she didnt know any of the specifics. As for something like pa.s.sing out from getting b.u.mped into, Jing Wan herself also very much suspected if it was just like with riding horse carriages, considered to be a relatively special circ.u.mstance? Shed always been a healthy baby, not at all delicate. It was embarra.s.sing even just thinking about it. Forget about it, best not look into this matter.

And just like that, it was easily let go of. But more importantly, it was still because of her trust in Gong mama.

Gong mama also knew this very well in her heart. Thatt why her guilt inside became even heavier. But theres nothing she can do about it, after all, its not like she can say what really happened. And some important matters regarding miss, she also needed to entirely report to that living Enma. If she refused, who knows what he will do. Perhaps, he might even visit misss bedroom at night. Fortunately, he only wants to have miss pampered in his palm.

Jing Wan bravely drank down the medicine, like she was facing death. That appearance made the people watching at the side all cover their mouths, stifling their laugh. And Zhang-s.h.i.+, who was her mother, was the most uncharitable, directly laughing out loud. It was mainly because Jing Wan usually was able to properly face all things calmly, rather unlike a young lady of the boudoir. And only at times like these, does she make people feel that she was truly a delicate young lady.

After finis.h.i.+ng the medicine, Jing Wan quickly put a honey candy in her mouth, finally letting out a breath.

Jing Wan also didnt have someone go report to Luo Old Madam either. After changing her clothes, she headed to the main courtyard herself. Others all tried to stop her. Rather, it was Gong mama that didnt stop her, because she was very clear that misss body really was fine, just as well as before.

Luo Old Madam didnt expect that Jing Wan would come herself. She was somewhat worried about her running all over the place after having just woken up. But after Jing Wan ensured her over and over again that theres really nothing wrong, she naturally couldnt contain her joy. Jing Wan then asked about her grandfathers situation, and after learning that he only had a few small scratches, she finally relaxed.

Just now, the Judicial Courts Head Magistrate Diwu had someone send over a pot of ink orchid. And so naturally your grandfather couldnt sit still again.

Ill go look too. Before she could be stopped, Jing Wan had already gotten up and bowed, then rather hastily left.

Luo Old Madam put down her outstretched hand that she originally was going to use to pull Jing Wan with, sighing, This grandfather and granddaughter pair

Old madam, just look at that vigor on third miss, looks like she really is fine. You should be happy. A mama consoled.

Luo Old Madam helplessly laughed, Yes, should be happy, that vigor of old masters is also ample too. Both grandfather and granddaughter getting together to tend the flowers. This way the old master wont have to lament about his sons and grandsons being unfilial, not one having the same interest as him. Once hes happy, the others will get to suffer a bit less, so to avoid getting scolded into a quail all day.

Actually, if he were to let everyone in the entire family know that he liked these plants and flowers, there will be people like Luo Jing Ying, who will think of ways to appeal to him. It was still fine for the few sons and grandsons that know about this hobby of his to casually mess around in it, but to say they were good, well truthfully speaking, they really didnt have that skill. Forget not being able to appeal to him, he would even very much disdain them. Him not wanting to let the others know was purely because he found them bothersome. But now, in this home, he didnt need to hide or conceal it anymore. They should all have the self-awareness to know that they simply dont have the ability to compete for favor with Jing Wan.

After learning that her grandfather was in the greenhouse and not the front study, Jing Wan felt furthermore pressure-free and directly went over.

Grandfather.

Luo Pei Shan lifted his head when he heard her. Though he didnt asked her about her bodys condition, well or not, can tell by just looking. Thats why, majority of the times, men were still more rational than women. Youve come at the right time. Grandfather really dont know what to do with this ink peony.

Jing Wan went forward. Compared to when she first saw, it was even more worse looking. The flower petals have mostly all fallen off, and the leaves, probably because of the fire and smoke, even if didnt get burnt, still severely lacked moisture.

Third girl, can this still be raised back to life? Luo Pei Shan was very skeptical. It may be rare, but with it looking like this, it really couldnt enter his eyes. Even the most inferior flower in this greenhouse was countless times better looking than it.

Jing Wan carefully examined it once over, It can. It may not look good now, but in the days after, grandfather will definitely like it. -grandfather, this granddaughter heard from grandmother that Sir Diwu had someone sent it over. How did this flower end up in his hand? Thought that this peony had perished in the flames. If it really was like that, shed be heartbroken to death. This should also be a mutated variation, who knows if theres a second one.

Speaking of it, its quite a coincidence. Head Magistrate Diwu, while on his way back, ran into someone holding this peony. Remembering that you had wanted it, he had the person flagged down. After asking, he was nothing more than someone seeking some cheap wealth, taking advantage of the chaos and stealing it. He thought about trying to raise it back alive, and perhaps be able to sell it for a bit of money.

Jing Wan nodded, not suspecting it at all. Head Magistrate Diwu and Luo Pei Shan also didnt suspect it either.

As for Gong mama, who knew the truth, shed probably just put on a blank face and not say a word.

Why Li Hong Yuan didnt let the Sun family siblings coincidentally encounter this peony? That was only because hed discovered Sun Yi Lins certain intentions. Even if hes his future backbone minister, falling for the person in his heart, that was definitely out of the question. For him to not have him immediately sorted out was already him, Li Hong Yuan, being generous and benevolent. Something he managed to obtain, never mind that he cant personally go win favors with Wan Wan, to even let another man harboring impure thoughts go? Its not like his brain was broken. Of course, not going through a middleman and directly sending it to Jing Wans hands was the best, but the circ.u.mstances dont allow it. If he missed the opportunity today, then bringing it out again in the future wont be this simple anymore.

Jing Wan personally had the peony planted back. Some handling techniques, even Luo Pei Shan had never seen before, watching on with keen interest.

Grandfather, this peony was brought out by that Gentleman Qin. Regardless if its his, or the person thats behind him, if this peony were to be seen by others again in the future, will it bring about trouble? For now, setting aside the others, Sir Diwu was just one that was very well aware. It wasnt exactly praiseworthy to stealthily raise it in secret. Some people were just shameless, especially if their status was n.o.ble and high, there was really no way out. If it was under normal circ.u.mstances it was whatever, but the problem was, its currently the conflicting period of the struggle for the throne. One cant help but to think a bit more.

His good granddaughter was always thinking about the safety of her own family. Luo Pei Shan was very comforted. Although the times theyve interacted were short, but he felt as if Jing Wan had grown up by his side from a young age. He was very clear, it wasnt just because Jing Wan was good at raising these plants and flowers, and has a lovable personality, with nothing to nitpick about her character. If it was just these, then there were still quite a few people in this world that were easy to approach. But unfortunately, only this granddaughter alone was able to make one naturally want to become close with her. It can be seen, just how miraculous the fate between people were.
