Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 549.2: Simple Truth

Min Xiao Yuan ultimately was an influential family’s noble daughter. Dictated by her habits, she naturally won’t go to places where ordinary commoners frequented. However, a woman’s exuberant desire to shop, no matter in which era, it actually all existed. Min Xiao Yuan was also one of them.

And just that coincidentally, Jing Wan was also strolling the streets these last few days, although not for the sake of buying things, purely just coming out for a walk. Of course, if she saw something that she was interested in, then she would just buy it.

The horse carriage was also following behind her, and if tired, it was just climbing onto the horse carriage to sit for a while.

Because she didn’t want to disturb the people, an ordinary horse carriage was used. The carriage’s window curtains on the two sides were all hung up. Sitting inside the horse carriage together with Li Hong Yuan, they chatted about the relatively interesting people or matters or things along the sides of the road.

“Eh? Miss Min? Ah Yuan, is that Miss Min? The one that was together with Pei Xiu Ying back then in Jiangnan?”

Li Hong Yuan looked over along the direction Jing Wan pointed, subtly narrowing his eyes, “Probably.”

Regarding Sun Yi Lin’s matters in Jiangnan, Li Hong Yuan’s people have already more or less finished investigating, so regarding Min Xiao Yuan’s matters, he naturally knew. However, the matter that Li Hong Yuan truly wanted to know about, they were instead unable to find out anything.

Sun Yi Lin had gotten injured in a large fire, but that was an incident that occurred just before returning to the capital, simply not the reason behind the great changes in his temperament. And some of his experiences before this, all appeared relatively normal. This kind of outcome wasn’t what Li Hong Yuan wanted, but it was also considered within expectation. Even someone that was kept under watch day and night will still have things that others don’t know about, let alone going to investigate a person’s past experiences in the last two three years where no one was watching.

The information was just on a few thin sheets of paper, but the two three years of experiences were all recorded in extreme detail, probably able to become a ‘great piece of work’. And on any page, there all might be the reason for his change. However, it didn’t matter if they were unable to find out, because from now on, Sun Yi Lin will always be kept under watch.

“Let someone go have a look, see if it’s her.”

The Min clan, because of their close relationship with the Pei clan, although still had quite a few people serving as court officials, they were still restricted. Among the officials in the capital, none were from the Min clan. Min Xiao Yuan was still dressed as an unmarried young lady, so obviously can directly rule out the possibility of her accompanying her husband to the capital. As such, Min Xiao Yuan appearing in the capital was somewhat strange. As for the current Min clan, because they wish to walk out of the Pei clan’s shadows, attempting to return to the imperial court, that’s why they sent someone to the capital to build connections? But, the Min clan have already casted themselves under Li Hong Yuan. They were Li Hong Yuan’s eyes in Jiangnan. Once Li Hong Yuan ascends the throne, they naturally will have the opportunity to enter the imperial court.

Although she didn’t hear what the servant girl said, but they had the person brought over. Clearly, it was the same person she recognized.

Jing Wan climbed down from the horse carriage.

Seeing Jing Wan, Min Xiao Yuan was also quite surprised. The last time they met, it was already more than two years ago. At the time, one was fifteen, and one was sixteen. Compared to now, the changes were still very big. To be able to recognize upon inadvertently seeing, Jing Wan’s eyesight was also impressive. Truthfully speaking, Jing Wan actually only knew that her surname was Min, already unable to remember her name.

“Greetings wangye, wangfei.”

“No need to be too courteous. Miss Min came to the capital to play along with the family’s elders?” Jing Wan said with a smile.

Min Xiao Yuan was a bit awkward. Following an unrelated man traveling thousands of miles, this kind of thing, she really was unable to say out loud. If not careful, it might even get misunderstood as having eloped, although for Sun Yi Lin, she’d also gone all out.

TN: All

When she’d chosen to chase after him, in certain people’s eyes, she was already shameless. But, in an unfamiliar place, she still wanted to leave for herself a bit of face. Even if not for herself, should still do it for Sun Yi Lin. Sun Yi Lin’s situation right now, she was also aware of. She actually has been in the capital for three days already, learning about Sun Yi Lin’s situation the whole time. If a scandal of ‘elopement’ were to also come up, it would only make the other party’s situation even worse.

“No, just have a bit of business.” Min Xiao Yuan vaguely answered.

Jing Wan understandingly nodded, no longer asking.

Shortly after, they casually chatted a few words. Jing Wan also inquired Min Yu Han’s current situation, learning that Min Yu Han right now was still considered pretty good.

Jing Wan actually felt a bit regretful. For the Imperial Noble Consort, compared to meeting Le Cheng Emperor, perhaps she was further willing to see Min Yu Han again.

Of course, for some situations, rather than meeting, it was better to not meet. It was already twenty to thirty years, originally already more or less forgotten. To suddenly meet again, perhaps it will have the scars back then torn open again.

They weren’t that familiar to begin with, so very quickly just parted ways.

Jing Wan stared at Min Xiao Yuan’s departing figure in the distance, “Already eighteen, yet still unmarried? She also doesn’t seem to be observing mourning. Does she have some hidden illness, or did something happen?”

“Wan Wan is just this curious? If you want to know, you can let someone go investigate.”

“Even if curious, don’t necessarily need to know. This is the other party’s personal matter.” Jing Wan waved her hand, and shortly after, just entered a nearby store.

As such, Jing Wan just missed out on the opportunity of learning certain matters.

Min Xiao Yuan’s mood was still pretty good. In an unfamiliar place, encountering someone familiar, more or less had the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign place. The bad mood caused by Sun Yi Lin improved quite a bit. Thus, Min Xiao Yuan just began buy, buy, buy, accidentally buying too much, for a moment forgetting that right now they weren’t in Jiangnan. Barely able to carry everything, she felt a bit awkward, “Mama, how come you didn’t remind me?”

“This servant saw that miss was happy buying. Besides, it’s not that much, miss doesn’t need to worry.”

“Not gonna buy anymore, let’s go back.” Min Xiao Yuan reached out to carry some things, wanting to share the burden a little. This chapter is updatᴇd by ɴovelFɪre.net

“Miss, this isn’t something you should hold. This servant has told you many times before.”

“You all clearly can’t hold anymore, so what’s wrong with me holding some light ones. Give it here, it’s fine.” Min Xiao Yuan then thought of something, her face dyeing with a bashful red, lowering her voice a little, “Yi Lin’s situation right now isn’t too good. In the future, when we get married, I can’t still be ordering others around. Right now, just treat it as practicing for the future. When time comes, perhaps it’ll just be the two of us buying things together.” Thinking of that scene, she just felt elated.

The mama let out a sigh. Silly miss, the first stroke of the brush hasn’t even been drawn, yet already thinking that far ahead. Just based on Sun Yi Lin’s attitude, even if continuously chipping away without giving up, still don’t know how long one needs to grind for. However, thinking of everything miss did for Sun Yi Lin, she also couldn’t bear splashing cold water on her. She really was afraid what will happen to her if in the end, she can’t fulfill her wish.

However much she cared for her miss was just how angry she was at Sun Yi Lin. To have become like this now, yet miss’s heart was still unchanging, this was just your greatest blessing, to actually even dare use malicious words towards miss. Even if knowing his true intentions, she still was unable to forgive.

Actually, if Sun Yi Lin were to bluntly accept at this time, this mama certainly won’t be happy either.

Our family’s miss likes you, but what kind of thing are you, are you even worthy!? Speak, did you seduce my family’s young miss? Lookin for a beating!

What, you say you don’t like my family’s miss? Bastard, my family’s miss is loved by all, the flowers blooming when they see her, you actually dare to not like my family’s miss?!

The feelings of those that were protective of their own were just this particular.

The person Sun Yi Jia sent followed Min Xiao Yuan the entire way. After going back, they went to report to Sun Yi Jia. Sun Yi Jia was also too lazy to listen, directly having the person sent to Sun Yi Lin’s place. No matter how much she involved herself, no matter how much she worried, it was all useless, so why bother.

Sun Yi Lin patiently listened. Just, when hearing that Min Xiao Yuan ran into Jing Wan, his expression slightly changed. Actually, Sun Yi Lin had already heard Min Xiao Yuan mention before that she’d once met Jin Wangfei.

This was probably also considered a kind of fate.

Towards Min Xiao Yuan buying some impractical things, Sun Yi Lin also didn’t have any opinion. Right now, he perhaps was tight on money, but towards money, he never really cared about. When wealthy it was just spending a little more, and when tight, it was just spending a little less. He won’t, because of his own circumstances, just feel that others shouldn’t recklessly spend money.

Just, at the end, hearing that Min Xiao Yuan and them even went to an apothecary, his brows slightly furrowed, “Go ask, see which one of them is sick.” He was suddenly a bit worried, because he recalled that the time Min Xiao Yuan entered the capital seemingly was much later than him.

The servant girl that went to ask was also clever, not looking for Min Xiao Yuan, instead going to the people by her side. After all, if it’s that Miss Min that’s sick, then perhaps because of certain reasons, she might not tell the truth, but the people by her side weren’t the same.

The one that was sick sure enough was Min Xiao Yuan. She’d fallen ill on the way to the capital, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. They originally were also traveling quickly, but as a result, they got held up on the road for ten some days. The third day was the most serious, nearly causing her to lose her little life. Even now, she still hasn’t completely recovered. The reason why she’d set out while still sick was just for the sake of seeing Sun Yi Lin earlier.

Sun Yi Lin this time couldn’t sit still, directly going to the inn they were staying at.

Min Xiao Yuan was currently bored to death, contemplating what excuse to use to go see Sun Yi Lin again, when Sun Yi Lin came looking on his own. This time, she was elated to death, her eyes glistening, “Yi Lin, you came.” She absolutely won’t ask you why you’re looking for her, even if nothing, you can also look for her.

Sun Yi Lin had her looked over up and down. Previously, he didn’t notice. Her face didn’t change much, but her figure had shrunk by at least two circles. Sure enough, she’d suffered greatly. However, this while, the words of reproach were unable to come out, “Pack your things, come with me back to the Luo Manor.” It was more convenient to look for a doctor to properly examine her that way.

Min Xiao Yuan’s eyes lit up even more, “Give me a moment.”

Seeing her this happy, Sun Yi Lin once again massaged his temples. It was obvious, things have exceeded his expectations. Originally, he was planning on leaving tomorrow, but now, he has no choice but to postpone, at least need to wait until she completely recovers from her illness before setting out again.

The Luo family having another guest, naturally no one had any objections. Since Luo Old Madam had nodded her head, even if having an objection, still need to keep it bottled up.

The Luo family’s manor doctor took Min Xiao Yuan’s pulse, then looked at her previously used prescription, not making any changes.

Just, when Min Xiao Yuan learned that Sun Yi Lin letting her stay at the Luo Manor was only because of learning that she was sick———–originally even thinking that he was beginning to accept her, her high spirits dropped by several levels.

“Yuan Yuan, think of it like this, it’s also because my fifth brother is worried about you, thus he would do this. My fifth brother is actually a very cold and indifferent person. To be able to let him worry, it isn’t easy.” Sun Yi Jia said with a smile.

“Really?” Min Xiao Yuan instantly became happy again.

Sun Yi Jia helplessly laughed, really an easy to coax, and also easy to satisfy simple person.
