Chapter 142.2: Possessiveness, Asking for the Person

This humble subject greets w.a.n.gye.

Li Hong Yuan didnt even bat an eye, What are you looking for this prince for?

He clearly had came for Jing Wans sake, but in that moment, Sun Yi Lin was unable to say a single word. Reasonably speaking, since he has cancelled his engagement with Jing Wan, then they have nothing to do with each other anymore. As the former fiancee, saying something in front of her current fiancee, the one that this was the most detrimental was still Jing Wan. Although the three doc.u.ments and six rites

[1]

, not a single one has been processed, but the imperial decree itself was more effective than anything else. He didnt drink alcohol, his mind was very clear. He knew he was being rude and impetuous.

Li Hong Yuan finished writing the thing in hand and casually threw down the brush, This prince more or less know what you came for, have to say, you sure are courageous. However, this princes heart has always been narrow.

w.a.n.gye, this has nothing to do with Luo third miss, you

Li Hong Yuan sneered, Sun Yi Lin, based on what do you think this prince will take ones anger out on ones own fiancee, and not directly look for you, this main offender? His eyes gradually dyed with shade, She is this princes, daring to have delusions of this princes person, be careful of dying without a burial site. As long as youre still a clever one, then in the future, dont try coming anywhere near her. Get lost-

If one were to carefully take note a little, those that had let out a peculiar expression towards Jing Wan that day at the Grand Elder Princess Manor, in these last two days, all more or less met with some mishap. If it werent for the fact that by going overboard, it would attract unnecessary troubles, Li Hong Yuan would have made them stuck in bed for ten days to half a month.

Sun Yi Lin deeply inhaled a breath, This humble subject bids farewell.

Sun Yi Lin entering Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor and then leaving not long after, the people outside estimated that it was probably just a few words worth of time. And seeing Sun Yi Lins dark and heavy complexion, it most likely wasnt some joyous conversation either.

Sun Yi Lin silently sat in his horse carriage. He truly came to realize the disparity between himself and Jin Qinw.a.n.g. That man, not only concealed himself deeply, but that imposing aura was even so powerful to the point that it made one tremble. He indeed didnt have any way of competing with him.

For this kind of man to lose in the end, now that would be rather strange. In that case, at the very least, he should be relieved. Even if Jing Wan marries him, she wouldnt be so unlucky as to get killed with him. The more likely possibility was letting Jing Wan become the phoenix overlooking the world.

Jin Qinw.a.n.gs possessiveness towards Jing Wan, regardless whether it was just because Jing Wan was his fiancee, or some other reason, at the very least, he was lenient towards his own. In that case, Jing Wans days in the future probably wont be terrible. Just, he really wont be able to approach her anymore. If he were to lose control of himself and do something he shouldnt do, then it wont be good for both sides.

At the same time, Li Hong Ming also sunk into a dilemma. The one that possessed the most marriage value in the Luo family fell into that b.a.s.t.a.r.ds hands. No matter how good of a chess piece, falling into that b.a.s.t.a.r.ds hands was all equivalent to a wasted chess piece. After much contemplation, it was time to go ask Luo Pei Shan for the person. Even if Luo Rong Ping casted himself to him in the dark, it still wasnt as reliable as directly holding a person in hand. After all, Sun Yi Jia did marry into the Luo family. Even if this connection was weak, it still existed. Thats why, he must have a connection too.

When Li Hong Ming came looking, Luo Pei Shan wasnt surprised in the slightest. Hed long predicted that this day would come.

w.a.n.gye, fourth girls birth is humble and doesnt have the qualifications to serve w.a.n.gye, thats why asking w.a.n.gye to please forgive.

Li Hong Ming saw Luo Pei Shan adamantly refusing him. Since thats the caseHis face revealed a moment of hesitation, even carrying a bit of helplessness, Sir Luo, this prince will just tell you the truth. This prince fell in love at first sight with your n.o.ble manors fourth miss, and momentarily couldnt control ones feelings, thats why.

Luo Pei Shans face darkened like the bottom of a pot.

Sir Luo, please dont get angry, this prince will apologize to you, just this matter is all this princes fault, so please dont blame fourth miss. This prince genuinely wishes to marry your n.o.ble manors fourth miss, asking Sir Luo to please grant this wish.

Marry? Luo Pei Shans expression didnt improve in the slightest. Only the w.a.n.gfei is legitimately married in. w.a.n.gye, please dont make reckless remarks. If Cabinet Minister Liu were to hear, wont he come fight this old subject?

Yes, yes, yes, Sir Luo is right, this prince had a momentary slip of tongue. This prince is willing to take fourth miss as a side consort, asking Sir Luo to please agree. Li Hong Ming can be said to have put forth his best behavior, not having the least bit of airs.

Rui Qinw.a.n.g, please dont joke with this subject. Even if taking her as a side consort, that still needs to go through the full ceremony. Can a girl who is unable to take out a yuanpa

[2]

on the day after the bridal night still become a qinw.a.n.gs side consort? Could it be that w.a.n.gye wants to have the matter of my Luo family coming out with a young miss that lost ones purity before marriage become known to everyone? When time comes, my Luo family will lose all face, and the reputation of the other young misses of the Luo family will all sweep the floor too. Just like that Shen family right now, the young misses all not daring to step out of the family gates. This old subject hasnt offended w.a.n.gye, right? So why degrade the Luo family like this?!

Li Hong Ming wanted to vomit blood, and further because of mentioning the Shen familys matter, his complexion was deathly pale, yet he wasnt able to lash out at Luo Pei Shan, Sir Luo, its this princes fault for not having considered thoroughly. How about this, this prince will first have fourth miss lifted into the manor, then once she becomes pregnant with a child, this prince will request to confer her to a side consort, what do you think?

Luo Pei Shan looked to Li Hong Ming for a moment, Asking w.a.n.gye to please allow this old subject to go back and think about it.

Naturally its not a problem.

This old subject bids farewell.

Li Hong Ming stared in the direction Luo Pei Shan left in. In his eyes, this matter was already in the bag. The so called think about it was probably just going back to verify the truthfulness of this matter. He firmly believed that Luo Jing Ying will lean towards him. However, this matter, perhaps the Luo family has long known about, else there wouldnt be no news from Luo Jing Ying in nearly half a month.

Luo Pei Shan really did have the character of a scholar, that serious. Something like the yuanpa similarly can be faked. However, Luo Jing Yings status was indeed a bit low. Her father wasnt any better than Luo Jing Wans father. In fact, his reputation wasnt even as good as Luo second masters and was even a shu-born. Luo Jing Ying also wasnt favored by the familys head, and further didnt have an esteemed adoptive mother. Suddenly just taking as a side consort really was a bit difficult, so lifting into the manor first and then following up afterwards wasnt bad either.

Getting on the horse carriage, Luo Pei Shan put away his angry look, his expression indifferent. Everything just now was all merely done for Li Hong Ming to see, even catching his words and stabbing him a few times in pa.s.sing. Have to say, the Head Minister of Appointments Sir Luo was also an adequate king of acting.

Returning home, Luo Pei Shan told Luo Old Madam, she can have Luo Jing Ying let out.

Rui Qinw.a.n.g came looking?

Luo Pei Shan nodded.

Understood, this matter, I will arrange. Luo Old Madam said. If not for Jin Qinw.a.n.g insisting on wanting to have Luo Jing Ying sent into Rui Qinw.a.n.g Manor, she wouldve long gotten rid of Luo Jing Ying. This way is also good. Jing Bos wife is from the Ding Duke Manor, having her enter Rui Qinw.a.n.g Manor will balance the current state of affairs, so as to avoid Rui Qinw.a.n.g clinging onto you all day and not letting go.

Luo Pei Shan right now completely didnt consider the problem of political standings anymore, just taking care of his own business is enough. Facing those w.a.n.gyes that respected the wise all day rather wasnt a problem, but always buzzing around like flies was also annoying.

Luo Jing Ying being able to see the light of day again, Luo Old Madam also just roughly told the third branch.

Luo Jing Ying was very happy, and afterwards, the rock in Liu-s.h.i.+ and Luo Rong Pings heart also finally dropped. Even if Liu-s.h.i.+ was extremely disappointed towards Luo Jing Ying, at this time, she still excitedly prepared to go back to make inventory to prepare a good dowry for Luo Jing Ying.

A concubine that will just be lifted into Rui Qinw.a.n.g Manor in a small sedan, do you think shell be able to have a dowry? Cant even have red garments. Luo Old Madam splashed a basin of cold water, If you really want to consider for her, then prepare more money for her, especially small amount banknotes. Entering Rui Qinw.a.n.g Manor for the first time, one needs to bribe the servants. If the amount is too much, then others will take you for a fool, but if too stingy, then who will run errands for you.

Seeing that for better or worse, she still carried the Luo familys blood, Luo Old Madam gave a few words of advice. However, from the looks of it, Luo Jing Ying wont listen to her.

Grandmother, those things from before, they were all given to this granddaughter by Rui Qinw.a.n.g, so can you return them to this granddaughter?

Seeing her lifting her head and puffing her chest with a smug look, Luo Old Madam coldly turned and left. This kind of person, as expected, wasnt worth her putting in the effort. In the future, when one suffers a loss in the qinw.a.n.gs manor, just dont cry. Especially the phoenix tail hairpin, that kind of thing

Shut up, those things, your grandmother has long let someone send over. Seeing this small-minded look of Luo Jing Yings, Liu-s.h.i.+ also very much hated.

Luo Jing Ying pursed her lips, but after a split second of uneasiness, she put on a proud and boastful look again.

Liu-s.h.i.+ carefully studied her once over, suddenly feeling that she, who had all her hopes placed onto Luo Jing Ying, was actually very stupid. She always thought that her daughter was very outstanding and very good, but she actually was just mud that cant stick to the wall. She even wanted to pry open her head to see whether or not her brain was filled with weed. Already at this point now, yet still unable to see reality clearly. If not for the Luo family, you think you can establish yourself in Rui Qinw.a.n.g Manor? Really think Rui Qinw.a.n.g likes you that much? Moron!

Liu-s.h.i.+ thoroughly gave up on her. It was best to have her thoughts placed on her son, he was truly her dependance for the latter half of her life.

[1] Three doc.u.ments and six rites refer to the process in traditional chinese marriage custom. The three doc.u.ments include letter of betrothal (basically contract of the engagement between two parties), letter of etiquette, and letter of welcome (given to the bride side by the groom when he goes to escort the bride); the six rites are receiving the selected gifts, request of the eight birthday characters, receiving the auspicious notice, sending the betrothal gift, setting the wedding date, and welcoming the bride.

Yuanpa

[1]

Roughly translates to original/first handkerchief; its the handkerchief thats laid on the wedding bed to catch the bloodstain (and other fluids) from a brides first time, proving her virginity. This is especially important for the imperial family, and n.o.bility in general. In extreme cases, like marrying into the imperial family, if not a virgin, its punishable by execution of the entire family. The handkerchief is kept and stored away safety, I wonder if any managed to preserve until the modern era. You know I always sorta laugh at those scenes in cnovels where the characters fake it with like pigeon blood or something, because theres more than just blood on those things and any experienced mama should be able to tell if its real or not.
