Chapter 196.1: Emotionally Moved, Long Time No See

Generally speaking, no one would come to report the good news before having a definite diagnosis. Although the one receiving this good news is the maiden family, for married daughters, after getting pregnant in the husbands home, informing the maiden family first thing was for the sake of letting the maiden family be at ease. If it was just ordinary in-laws relation, as the maiden family, they naturally would be happy that their own child is able to even better establish themselves in the husbands family. And for those in a political marriage, the currently developing little life will also make this kind of relations.h.i.+p to be even more firm, and precisely because of this, need to have a reliable a.s.surance. As such, although they wouldnt go as far as to wait until the third month when the fetus stabilizes, they at least need a clear diagnosis before reporting the good news, or perhaps because of some special circ.u.mstances, as the married lady, need the maiden family to help invite the doctor, and thus would inform those that she trusted, handling the matter in secret.

If reported too soon, yet in the end, it was all a mistake, then itll just make people feel very unpleasant.

Obviously, Luo Jing Yings situation didnt belong to any of the above scenarios.

When it comes to handling things, Li Hong Ming has always been orderly, and naturally wont make this kind of mistake. Then, one can be certain, Luo Jing Ying really was pregnant. There isnt a single doctor thats able to confirm a girl is pregnant within a month. For Li Hong Ming to dare let someone come at this time, one of the reason was knowing that the Luo family also knew the truth, and secondly, he really anxious and unable to keep waiting.

It has already been a month since Luo Jing Ying entered his rear court, yet Luo Pei Shan didnt have the slightest movement. Because she was a concubine, the maiden family couldnt do anything publicly in the open, but secretly thinking of ways to send things in and ask about the situation were all very normal. Out of ten families, approximately nine would all be this way. And under normal circ.u.mstances, as the main wife, towards concubines that have a family background, they would all turn a blind eye and wont aggressively interfere. But the Luo familys att.i.tude was practically just like this person didnt exist. No matter how he thought about it, it all didnt feel right. For Li Hong Ming, it wasnt needing to instruct his w.a.n.gfei to not trouble the people from the Luo family, but rather asking whether or not the Luo family came to visit.

In the very beginning, Li Hong Ming already faintly detected from Luo Jing Yings att.i.tude the truth of the situation, but the reality seemingly was even worse than hed imagined. This however was what Li Hong Ming didnt want to see the most. This already wasnt the problem of whether or not his concubine was liked by her maiden family. In a certain sense, this directly reflected the Luo familys att.i.tude, or more precisely Luo Pei Shans att.i.tude towards him. If he was optimistic about him, and as long as he had that bit of intention to a.s.sist him, then even if it was just a small cat or dog sent into his manor, he would still use this to pull in the relations.h.i.+p. But if its the opposite, then even if he had his most beloved granddaughter schemed into his hands, he most likely will still be able to endure the pain and abandon her.

Because of these anxious thoughts, Li Hong Ming, after confirming that Luo Jing Ying was already pregnant, just impatiently came looking. If not for the sake of blocking the numerous gossiping mouths and thoroughly offending the Luo family, then half a month ago, when Luo Jing Ying first showed signs of pregnancy, he wouldve already taken action. This purpose of his was nothing more than his unwillingness to give up, wanting to confirm one last time whether or not everything really was the same as he thought. If not, it was naturally the best, but if it is

Whether or not she has good fortune, this old one doesnt know. This old one only learned just now that the girl from our family that was lifted into Rui Qinw.a.n.g Manor also followed along over to the imperial summer residence. During this trip, in addition to the few days after arriving, Rui Qinw.a.n.g has seen our old master almost every other day, in fact, even this old one met Rui Qinw.a.n.g once, yet never once heard him mention anything.

Luo Old Madam calmly narrated a fact, but Liu mamas heart wasnt calm at all. The Luo family actually didnt even know this? Didnt Concubine Ying say that shed sent someone to inform already? Was it the person she sent just paying lip service, or was it that she really didnt send anyone?

This matter, Rui Qinw.a.n.g actually mentioned to me once, but I forgot, so didnt tell you. Luo Pei Shan explained.

Luo Old Madam plainly responded, and afterwardsthere just wasnt an afterwards.

Liu mama saw that the Luo family had the intention of directly sending the guest away, not even preparing to send someone to bring some things or go have a look. In fact, they didnt even ask a single question, let alone personally going to look. Moreover, one could tell from that expression of theirs, that wasnt an act, but really not having the slightest concern at all.

Liu mamas first impression towards Luo Jing Ying was still considered pretty good, but not long after entering the manor, Luo Jing Yings true nature was just exposed out in the open, and because she still had use, it was inevitable for Li Hong Ming to be a bit more indulgent towards her. Precisely because of this, Luo Jing Yings airs were put on higher than anyone elses. Although in front of the w.a.n.gfei, she still forcibly managed to retain her etiquette, but what kind of person was Liu mama, how would she not be able to see how much Luo Jing Ying hated that the w.a.n.gfei was pressing on top her head. Sometimes, that gaze of hers was just like hating that she cant go forward and single-handedly have the w.a.n.gfei strangled to death, and afterwards, take her place.

This kind of her, Liu mama naturally looked down on greatly, but even if she didnt know the specifics, she still knew that Luo Jing Ying came from the Head Minister of Appointments Manor, and towards w.a.n.gye, had great use. Moreover, w.a.n.gfei also didnt say anything, so she naturally couldnt say anything either.

However, as time pa.s.sed day by day, she naturally also noticed something wrong. This Concubine Yings place in her maiden family afraid was a bitAnd w.a.n.gyes patience towards Concubine Ying was also wearing down day by day. However, at this time, they discovered that Concubine Ying was pregnant. Originally because Li Hong Ming had very few children, until now still not having a son, Liu mama was very happy, but calculating the time, she just knew when Luo Jing Ying had gotten pregnant. This was before entering the manor. Although she believed, Luo Jing Ying wont do something against w.a.n.gye, this still shrouded her pure delight with a layer of haze.

However, for the sake of w.a.n.gye, she was still very much willing to come to the Luo family. However, the outcome she obtained was practically just like getting splashed in the face with a basin of cold water. How was this just bad, this was practically just having the name, but no different from that of someone who has been expelled from the clan.

Liu mama was somewhat stiff, summoning the courage to open her mouth, Sir Luo, Luo Old Madam, Concubine Ying is still young, and this is also her first pregnancy, so its unavoidable for her to be somewhat scared. If her family can go see her, and accompany her for a little while, perhaps itll be a lot better. Moreover, Concubine Ying also truly misses you all. Why dont you all.speaking of which, this matter, afraid wont be allowed in other families, and its just our w.a.n.gye thats magnanimous.

Rui Qinw.a.n.g may be magnanimous, but we cant just not abide by the rules. A concubines maiden family cant even be considered relatives. Luo Old Madam faintly interrupted her.

Liu mama wanted to slap her own mouth. Because in her eyes, it was naturally their own w.a.n.gye that was the best in everything and the most esteemed, and as the subjects, they all needed to respect him, obeying whatever he says, acting according to his will. As such, what originally was suppose to be asking for a favor, as she spoke, just unconsciously turned into a great honor bestowed upon them. And Luo Old Madam just effortlessly had her words retorted back, truly getting choked quite seriously. These words of Luo Old Madams are quite modest. That was talking about other families, how can your esteemed family be the same as them?

These words, do you dare to say in front of Cabinet Minister Lius face? Luo Old Madam said in a gentle tone, but those words werent the least bit polite.

(T/N: Cabinet Minister Liu is Rui w.a.n.gfeis father.)

Liu mama was left speechless. Her goal was very simple. Regardless how their relations.h.i.+p with Concubine Ying was, as long as the people from the Luo family go see her, letting outsiders learn that the Luo family entered w.a.n.gyes place, it would be enough. However, it was clear that the Luo family really didnt want to give any face at all, and towards Concubine Ying, they werent the least bit concern, so naturally wont care what kind of days she will have without the maiden familys backing.

Jing Wan led people along, returning with the noodle, but to her surprise, her elder sister-in-law had left, and there was even an outsider present.

She originally wanted to personally have the noodle handed to Li Hong Yuan, but with someone irrelevant present, she in the end didnt do this kind of inappropriate act.

Li Hong Yuan naturally could tell what Jing Wans intentions were. He couldnt bear letting her cook, but just handing something over, this kind of rather intimate act, he naturally was very willing. Thus, towards the person disrupting the matter, he naturally didnt have the slightest good face. As a result, his gaze towards Liu mama was somewhat cold. When he wanted to target a person, that imposing manner was truly too scary.

Liu mamas calves were somewhat trembling, nearly collapsing onto the ground.

Jing Wan glanced at her from the side, sizing her up, but really wasnt that curious. However, it was clear, right now, it wasnt appropriate for her to continue staying. Thus, she curtsied, preparing to withdraw, but before she could open her mouth.
