By the time Liu-s.h.i.+ turned around, there was already a intimate smile hanging on her face, Whats the matter third girl?

Jing Wan somewhat embarra.s.singly pursed her lips in a shallow smile. Speaking of it, there is a small matter that third aunt needs to know. Previously, when that old servant woman blurted out Bai Yiniangs matter in front of me, not only dirtying Ding Duke Manors big sister Suns ears, she also dirtied fourth little sisters ears. Hearing that kind of filthy thing, fourth sister might feel unsettled inside. Afraid third aunt will need to spend some effort in consoling her.

Liu-s.h.i.+s eyes darkened. Suspecting her? Warning her? Reminding her? If third girl didnt say, afraid third aunt really wouldve still been kept in the dark. This is also third aunts fault, spoiling your fourth sister too much. Just cant let her know anything. If she was able to be half as knowledgable as third girl, then third aunt ought to pray to thank buddha. That tone sounded very helpless.

This was mocking her for knowing all kinds of dirty things at a young age? Fourth sister has a good life. Even if she doesnt know anything for her whole life, it wouldnt matter. There will always be third aunt there to worry and care for her. Its not the same for me, if I dont know anything, wouldnt I be bullied to death by others?

A mother worrying over her daughter for a whole lifetime, wasnt this just cursing her daughter to have a short life?! No matter how capable Liu-s.h.i.+ was at pretending, in this moment, she too restrained her smile, This is third girl saying your mother isnt good?

My mother naturally is good, just, as grandmother said, shes one with a good life, doesnt know anything, it cant be helped. We as her children are aware enough to be self-reliant. Perhaps fourth sister in the future will be just like my mother. That would really makes one envious.

With Luo Jing Yings temper, even if she did meet a husband that treated her well, she still wouldnt be able to live happy and carefree like Zhang-s.h.i.+. Then again, some unpleasant things, she practically was just asking for it. Making trouble out of nothing all day, throwing tantrums here and there, no matter how deep the feelings were, they would still be able to be wiped clean.

Liu-s.h.i.+ still wanted to say something, but Jing Wan didnt want to bother with her any longer. I suppose third aunt still has a lot to do. After all, second sister will be getting married soon. Third aunt still has to add to her dowry, and thats not an easy task. It just so happens that this niece is heading to grandmothers, so Ill take my leave first. Jing Wan bent her knees, then turned towards the main courtyard and left.

Hua Yiniang and Luo Jing Qiang kept silent. And the servants that followed them all lowered their heads lower than the other, hating that they cant find a crack to squeeze into and disappearing before Liu-s.h.i.+.

Liu-s.h.i.+ stood in silence for a moment. In the end, she didnt flare up.

When they returned to the third branchs territory, Liu-s.h.i.+ was just about to stop Hua Yiniang and Luo Jing Qiang, when Hua Yiniang instead spoke first, Madam, the embroidering for second misss dowry still hasnt been finished yet. And the buddhist scriptures madam ordered this concubine to copy for old madam still havent been finished yet either. Now that this concubine has committed an offense, theres even more the need to concentrate on praying to buddha, so will take ones leave first.

Facing them on her own territory, Liu-s.h.i.+ naturally wont pretend any longer. She looked to the mother-daughter pair before her, carrying thick poison in her eyes. But as matters stand now, Hua Yiniang has helped her take the blame, and also got what she wanted. She simply didnt fear her anymore and slightly raised her head, looking face to face with Liu-s.h.i.+. In the time Liu-s.h.i.+ has been married, aside from the first two years, these concubines of the third branch, not one has dared to provoke her like this before. However, right now, she indeed couldnt touch these two. If at this time, Hua-s.h.i.+ was to be driven into a corner, even if she(Liu-s.h.i.+) firmly denied any wrongdoing, she would still be greatly affected. Hope that second girl will live well with her husbands family in the future and not need her mother anymore.

Towards Liu-s.h.i.+s threat, Hua Yiniang didnt comment. Luo Old Masters body was still very healthy. No matter what he would still live for at least another year or two. As long as this grandfather is still alive, Qiangers husbands family will treat her well. Beside, the daughter she raised, even if her scholarly learning wasnt that good, her conduct was at least countless times better than Luo Jing Yings. She believed that her daughter can live well. Moreover, at worst, it would still be better than living under Liu-s.h.i.+. Thank madam for the auspicious words.

Liu-s.h.i.+ coldly had them sent off.

Yiniang. After returning, Luo Jing Qiangs tears uncontrollably fell.

Silly girl, what are you crying for? Hua-s.h.i.+ held Luo Jing Qiang and lightly patted her back.

Its all my fault, if not because of me, Yiniang wouldnt have to be forced by her, and wouldnt be kicked out of the Luo family.

What are you saying, its not like you dont know her character either. Anything she finds unpleasant to the eyes, she will try to eliminate.

Luo Jing Qiang cried on her shoulder for a long time before finally softening her voice little by little, Yiniang, wait for me, I will think of a way to bring you back.

Saying silly things again. Your grandmother has already personally spoke, never to return. How can I possibly still come back? Actually, old madam isnt really punis.h.i.+ng me, but rather helping me. Although she doesnt like Yiniangs, it doesnt mean that shes devoid of sense. Just whos the real culprit behind todays matter, afraid in her heart, shes more clear than anyone. I dont have that great of an ability, and I dont have that much money to gather that many people in the Luo family rear court either. Actually, this bit, Luo Old Madam isnt the only one thats clear about it. That estate is the Luo familys estate, not Liu-s.h.i.+s. She wont be able to even harshly criticize me there. This way, there, I will be the one and only master, isnt that much better than being deliberately tormented by her in this back courtyard? Moreover, old madam will personally look over your dowry. This is something yiniang never would have thought of. And now, just need to wait for you to grandly marry off. Yiniang doesnt have any other wishes anymore.

Yiniang.

You just need to worry about properly living out your days in the future. Dont think too much. Also, if possible, get closer with your third younger sister. Theres only benefits and no harm.

But she clearly knew that madam was upset inside, yet she still deliberately used my dowry matter to provoke madam. Didnt she think that madam might take her anger out on us? When shed heard Jing Wans words earlier, to say that she didnt feel resentful in the least was a lie.

Thats because your third sister knows that madam wont do anything to us. Your third sister has been steady since she was small. Shes always had propriety in her words and actions, even her servants, she wouldnt involve in trouble either. Aside from fourth miss, shes never said anything harsh to others before. Your third sister was personally raised by old madam, and old madam can be said to be the most intelligent woman yiniang has ever seen before.

Yiniang, I understand what to do.

En, yiniang knows that Qianger is a clever one, you must never be like that Luo Jing Ying, having a heart higher than the heavens, unable to see reality clearly. She may be smart, but shes too smart for her own good.

Liu-s.h.i.+ had someone call Luo Jing Ying before her. She didnt say anything and just looked to her with a gloomy expression.

Luo Jing Ying has been very much nervous ever since returning from Elegant Haitang Residence. And now seeing her mother like this, she was extremely afraid inside. That usually arrogant but ostentatious, and elegant but confident young lady completely disappeared, becoming somewhat timid from fear.

But the more she was like this, the angrier Liu-s.h.i.+ got. Even if at fault, one must never lower their head, and must maintain ones own bearing. But just look at what shes like now, cowering in fear. Even worse than those country b.u.mpkins from a small place that has never seen the world before. Thinking to that Luo Jing Wan, who calmly faces everything, proper on all occasions, and even if she carried thorns in her words, on the surface, you couldnt catch any of her faults. That was the ideal daughter she wanted. Then thinking again to her losses today and the anger she suffered, she could no longer contain her suppressed fury. She abruptly shot up and fiercely flung her palm over..

Luo Jing Ying staggered, nearly falling to the ground. Her face was scorching hot in pain, and in addition to the abruptness just now, she somewhat sprained her neck too. But all this pain just made her feel numb, her entire person was slapped silly

Her appearance like this didnt bring about Liu-s.h.i.+s heartache, instead even blood veins began to appear in her eyes, her entire person looked like a mother beast that has almost lost all rationality. The mama at Liu-s.h.i.+s side, seeing something was wrong, quickly had someone take Luo Jing Ying out, and even audaciously tried to hold back Liu-s.h.i.+.

Outside, Luo Jing Ying heard a burst of chaotic sounds coming from inside and slowly returned to her sense. She covered her already swollen face. From childhood till now, shes never been hit before, let alone by her mother, whos always treated her as the treasure of her palm. Even if shed sensed that her mothers mood right now wasnt right, she still didnt know how to react. Aside from pain, she felt wronged, very very much wronged, and also a kind of indescribable resentment..just didnt know who this resentment was towards.

Inside the room, it gradually calmed down. However Liu-s.h.i.+ didnt call for Luo Jing Ying to enter, and just let a servant girl go out to tell her to return to her own courtyard, and to shut herself up and ponder over her mistakes, no time limit.

Even if Luo Jing Ying returned to her senses, she still was somewhat frightened out of her mind. Right now, her mind was very much in chaos, and needed some time to calm herself down. Thus, she didnt say anything and obediently went back.
