Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 143: Sarcastic Remarks

Chapter 143: Sarcastic Remarks

Probably because she was about to achieve her goal, Luo Jing Ying’s attitude in the Luo family imperceptibly grew arrogant. First, she began nitpicking her food and clothes. Things that she’d eaten perfectly fine in the past, in her mouth, now became things fed to pigs. And the clothes she liked the most in the past, wearing them now, felt like they were scraping her tender skin.
Liu-shi coldly watched from the sidelines, letting her continue her foolery. Don’t eat if you don’t want to, and don’t wear if you don’t like, she was simply too lazy to bother with her. But in just a short day, she completely came to realization, this daughter of hers not only was a disappointment, but even an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. Even towards her own mother, she dared to arrogantly order around, a look of looking down from high and above. This kind of person, even if in the future, won power, you still think you’ll be able to obtain benefits from her? Keep daydreaming! Perhaps, some matters from the past will even be dug out as proof that you weren’t good to her.
However, with her like this, one clearly could tell at a glance what Rui Qinwang was aiming for. And only she alone believed that Rui Qinwang really liked her, and wanting to take her into his manor really was just because of her as a person, continuously dreaming, yet to wake up.
Seeing Liu-shi’s attitude, Luo Jing Ying was also quite angered, but right now, she still couldn’t do anything about it, just having all the resentment suppressed in the bottom of her heart. Kneeling to the heaven and earth, kneeling to the ruler, and kneeling to one’s parents, that was all very normal. But, it’s not like there weren’t cases where the parents turned around and kneeled to the children. Heheh, she will make everyone that has ever slighted her all kneel under her feet.
There were two more days until the Dragon Boat Festival[1]. Rui Qinwang wanted to receive her into his manor after the Dragon Boat Festival, but during the Dragon Boat Festival, she should be able to meet him. Having not seen him in this long, she really did miss him.
Luo Jing Ying dazedly lost herself in her thoughts, foolishly laughing to herself. Those who didn’t know would think that was an idiot.
When Luo Jing Ying finally returned to her senses, she began asking the temporary little servant girl by her side, “What all has happened lately?” Previously when she was being confined, that was truly having her courtyard sealed off directly. The meals were sent over at a fixed time, and only an old servant woman and a stiff and wooden servant girl were left to serve her. Thus, towards the matters outside, she was completely clueless.
Speaking of which, there really were a few things that happened lately, and moreover, every single one all had to do with the Luo family, or more precisely, Luo third miss.
When mentioning that someone claiming to be pregnant with Sun Yi Lin’s child came looking, ruthlessly dropping Jing Wan’s face, Luo Jing Ying practically couldn’t control herself from laughing, and when she heard that Jing Wan and Sun Yi Lin cancelled their engagement, she directly clapped her hands and cheered.
Towards Luo Jing Ying not at all hiding her pleasure at another’s misfortune, the little servant girl very much couldn’t stand watching. No wonder even someone like third miss would all become enemies with her. In the entire manor, only the servants by her side were switched out batch by batch. There really weren’t that many that were willing to come serve her. Having been sent over by the third madam, she also had no other choice, but third madam also said, it was just for a few days.
Probably because she really couldn’t stand Luo Jing Ying’s attitude, the little servant girl also vividly and colorfully described how the Grand Elder Princess took third miss as an adopted daughter, preparing many presents for the occasion, the ceremony very much grand. And also how the clothes that third miss wore that day were very imposing.
The person who was still laughing exceptionally delightfully just a moment ago, in an instant, turned malevolent, just like a malicious spirit. “Shut up, you traitorous little slut. If you admire her that much, why don’t you go serve Luo Jing Wan then, what are you still doing at this young miss’s place for?” Luo Jing Ying grabbed something next to her and threw it over.
That servant girl was also quick-witted, probably knowing Luo Jing Ying would go crazy, and thus nimbly dodged. “This servant also doesn’t want to serve miss.”
Luo Jing Ying was angered into a storm, but unfortunately, a delicate young lady of the boudoir like herself wasn’t able to catch the other party.
The little servant girl seemingly even felt it wasn’t enough, and mentioned the matter of Jing Wan being bestowed to Jin Qinwang in marriage too.
However, this time, Luo Jing Ying actually settled down, “Wangfei? The living Enma’s wangfei? Hahaha………”
Luo Jing Ying, who was in a very good mood, even tidied herself up, and the things that Rui Qinwang had previously given to her, she also no longer concealed, wearing them out. Although a few were damaged by Luo Old Madam, majority of the rest were still in completely perfect condition.
However, because she didn’t have suitable clothes to match, Luo Jing Ying just selected a few relatively simple ones. For those who didn’t know what’s what and just purely feel it’s good-looking, it was still quite matching.
Luo Jing Ying directly headed to Elegant Haitang Residence in high spirits.
Jing Wan watched Luo Jing Ying ‘invade’ her courtyard with just one little servant girl. This heart was sure open. Moreover, she actually didn’t disdain being this humble either. After all, she has always liked having an army of servants at her beck and call.
Luo Jing Ying originally thought that she would see a depressed and withered Jing Wan. Yet in the end? Jing Wan was still joyous in spirit, her complexion rosy, and her skin that was exposed on the outside, silky smooth like water. Luo Jing Ying subconsciously pulled back her hands. She probably never realized, when facing Jing Wan, she would always unconsciously feel inferior. She believed herself to be better than Jing Wan in all aspects, but in reality, she couldn’t compare at all.
“Fourth sister, this is having fully recovered? Worthy of congratulations. Just, for fourth sister to fall ill every two three days, and moreover, be ill for ten days to half a month at a time, such delicateness, how can that be good?” Jing Wan took a shallow sip of green tea.
“Luo Jing Wan, no need to be this pretentious in front of me, really makes one nauseous.”
Jing Wan seemingly very surprisingly lifted her brow, “Why would you feel nauseous all of a sudden? Could it be that fourth sister ate something bad, or……..” Jing Wan’s gaze meaningfully swept over her lower abdomen.
Luo Jing Ying subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, just like as if her secret got exposed.
Towards Luo Jing Ying’s matter, Jing Wan actually all knew. Just this morning, Luo Old Madam told her everything. Can’t be that she really got pregnant? Hitting the jackpot in one shot, hehe, should say as expected, she still had somewhat of a dogshit luck? After all, Rui Qinwang had ‘difficulty in getting an heir’. To this day, he still doesn’t have a son. Giving birth to the eldest shu son for him, one can rather rise with the tides. However, reasonably speaking, a young lady like Luo Jing Ying, suddenly losing her virginity, in this conservative society, she shouldn’t have known more. Unless someone has told her before, and at the very least, the most basic determining factor was probably just her period.
However, towards this kind of thing, Jing Wan actually wasn’t interested in. With just that brain of Luo Jing Ying’s, once Rui Qinwang realizes that she actually doesn’t have any worth, and no longer shields her, she probably will very quickly be torn apart until nothing’s left.
“What business does fourth younger sister have with me?”
Luo Jing Ying slowly put down her hands. She also wasn’t sure whether or not she was really pregnant. Just, her period that should’ve come still haven’t came. She originally still wanted to wait a little, but unexpectedly she was suddenly let out, and will even be taken away soon. Thus, she chose to keep quiet. She wanted to let her husband be the first to know. Moreover, if it gets out, what will she do if someone harms her child? That’s right, in her eyes, aside from Li Hong Ming, even her own parents were all unworthy of trust.
“Just heard third older sister also got one’s engagement with Gentleman Lin cancelled. It just made this younger sister rather surprised, that’s all. Aiyaa, speaking of which, third older sister has only been in the capital for a couple of months, yet already discussed several marriage arrangements in succession. Just, after setting the engagements, they get cancelled faster and faster. Third older sister, could it be that you cursed husbands?” She seemingly very regretfully shook her head, “However, fortunately, third older sister is a rare commodity worth hoarding, not having to worry about not being wanted.”
Jing Wan nodded, “Fourth sister’s words are correct. This older sister is already on one’s third fiancee, with each one even having a higher status than the last, this fate is just too good, what can I do.”
Luo Jing Ying’s expression slightly warped. It was precisely a flaunting-like tone of voice. Jin Qinwang’s reputation being bad wasn’t false, but he was still a true and honest qinwang, incomparably honorable. She heard that he even possessed wealth comparable to the national treasury. And not just that, he also had the most of the most valuable rare treasures in the world. “Of the seven in front, six all met with misfortune, just don’t know how long third older sister can hold up.”
“If nothing else, fourth younger sister will definitely be able to see the day I marry, eh, wait, you probably won’t be able to see. After all, as a concubine, you probably all won’t have the chance to return home in this lifetime. In fact, you seemingly won’t even have the opportunity to walk out of the qinwang manor’s second gate, so how will fourth younger sister be able to see me get married.”
Because the other party was Rui Qinwang, the most highly regarded candidate to become the heir apparent to the throne, that’s why even if as a concubine, she was still wholeheartedly willing, because in the future, there will be a time where she will have endless glory. But hearing the word ‘concubine’ from Luo Jing Wan’s mouth right now still made her want to rip apart Luo Jing Wan’s mouth. “Even if I’m a concubine, I’ll still be better off than you, not knowing when one will be cursed to death someday. However, third older sister, you similarly cursed husbands, so perhaps you’ll be fine. In this younger sister’s eyes, Jin Qinwang although has a bad reputation, but in actuality, this marriage, it’s still third sister you that’s benefitting. You are unable to marry, and Jin Qinwang is unable to take a wife. He’s Qi Yuan’s number one male beauty, but you’re not Qi Yuan’s number one beauty, so no matter what, you’re still benefitting, don’t you think?”
Jing Wan looked to Luo Jing Ying. She didn’t even know it could also be calculated like this. Jing Wan calmly nodded her head, “Fresh flowers matched with cow manure, it’s naturally the cow manure that’s rather advantageous.”
This shameless, Luo Jing Ying was so angry her liver ached, “Third older sister is rather perceptive.”
“Indeed, just like how fourth younger sister knows that one only has the fate to be a concubine.”
“Luo Jing Wan……..”
“Fourth sister can be a little quieter, my ears aren’t deaf.”
Luo Jing Ying coldly sneered, “Sooner or later, there will be a day where you will kneel before me begging.”
Jing Wan sarcastically laughed, “I’m grandfather’s most beloved granddaughter, my adoptive mother is the Grand Elder Princess, and my future husband is Jin Qinwang. Right now, people all say, I’m the number one among the noble young ladies of the capital. And you? Nothing more than a little concubine that’s about to enter a qinwang’s manor. Me kneeling to beg you? Is your brain broken?” Jing Wan tilted her head, looking to Luo Jing Ying as if she was looking at some joke, really interesting.
“So what if the Grand Elder Princess takes you as an adopted daughter? Did you really think it was because she likes you and values you? Nothing more than just disdaining your low status, not qualified enough to be Jin Qinwang’s wangfei. So what if you’re honorable, do you want this younger sister to help you recount what kind of miserable tragic end all of Jin Qinwang’s former fiancees met with in the end?”
“Who is fourth younger sister talking about?” Sun Yi Jia would practically come to Jing Wan’s place every day. Walking closer, she swept a glance at Luo Jing Ying. “What is this hideous way of dressing, top-heavy and unbalanced, using worn out clothes to show off those things on your head? Someone come, go back and tidy out a few sets of old clothes for fourth younger sister, so as to avoid her going out and make an embarrassment of herself.”
[1] Dragon Boat Festival – Also known as the Double Fifth Festival, personally I think ‘double fifth’ is a better translations of the name in chinese, but Dragon Boat Festival is the official english name for the holiday. This holiday takes places on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, hence the name ‘double fifth’.
