Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 102.3: Hong Yuan Shows Off His Riding Skill, Jing Wan’s Warning

Jing Wan nodded. If she were to rush out of the Grand Elder Princess Manor with that pig face look of hers, don’t know how others will gossip, and perhaps might even offend the Grand Elder Princess. “This granddaughter will go check on her.”

Luo Old Madam nodded. She knew Jing Wan was good-natured, but was definitely in no way one to reciprocate a grudge with kindness. For fourth girl to have done something like that of her own accord, causing Wan Wan to want to sort her out, this outcome was also very normal. She knew Jing Wan had propriety in handling matters, so there was no need to warn her of anything either.

Jing Wan found the place where Luo Jing Ying was at. Her two servant girls and her wet nurse were outside the door. When they saw Jing Wan, they nearly trembled into a ball. Luo Jing Ying’s condition was even worse than she’d predicted. Perhaps because she was unwilling to listen, grandmother directly ordered someone to have her tied up, and her mouth stuffed. And that red and swollen face of hers was present out in such a open matter just like that.

Seeing Jing Wan appear, the originally still considered quiet Luo Jing Ying acted up once again. She stood up, wanting to charge over, but the two old servant women Luo Old Madam left behind weren’t pushovers either. With their quick eyes and swift hands, they immediately had her pressed down, forcibly letting her sit back down.

Luo Jing Ying fixedly glared at Jing Wan, that bitter resentment nearly about to solidify, as she ‘wu wu wu’, called out to Jing Wan nonstop.

Jing Wan calmly looked to her, even reaching out to touch her face. This time, grandmother most likely really want to harshly punish her for once. This long, yet still haven’t let anyone apply medicine for her.

Luo Jing Ying wanted to turn her head away, but unfortunately, without even needing Jing Wan to do anything, one of the old servant women already grabbed her by the back of the neck, making her unable to turn away. If looks could kill, then that old servant woman afraid would’ve already been chopped into ground meat by her, but the old servant woman was instead indifferent. On one hand, it was probably for the sake of appeasing Jing Wan, and on the other hand, it was probably to vent the resentment in their heart. Have to say, such a place like the Grand Elder Princess Manor, they finally were able to come this one time, yet because of this miss having caused trouble, they were forced to also have to stay here, and not like the others, outside watching the excitement. If nothing else, just being able to meet that many noble personages was already enough for them to go back and boast for a long time. But now, if others ask, they were unable to say anything good, how embarrassing.

Because Jing Wan’s fingers were still bandaged, they naturally weren’t as soft and smooth as normal. She lightly rubbed back and forth across Luo Jing Ying’s face a few more times, causing Luo Jing Ying to growl even fiercer. “Do you know what you look like right now? Go fetch a basin of water over, let our fourth miss properly have a look. That is more clear than a bronze mirror.”

Have to say, with Luo Jing Ying always causing trouble for their miss for no reason, Jing Wan’s servant girls naturally were also very angry, so this while, they were also very energetic in doing this kind of thing like fetching the water.

They moved a stool over, having the water basin placed before Luo Jing Ying. And in order to prevent her from kicking over the water basin, the old servant women just tied her feet to the chair legs. This sort of method, Jing Wan wasn’t very in favor of, but if the person was Luo Jing Ying, then she would just watch on with a cold gaze. Jing Wan pointed to the water basin, “Have a look yourself.” Seeing her still sticking out her neck and glaring at Jing Wan, revealing an ominous glint in her eye, “It’s probably inconvenient for fourth miss, you all help her.”

The old servant woman unhesitantly grabbed her head and pressed it above the basin.

Even if Luo Jing Ying didn’t want to see, that pig-head face still in the first moment reflected into her eyes.

Luo Jing Ying knew her face was very unsightly, but didn’t expect that it was devastating to this degree. She was the same as many young ladies, having this face of hers viewed even more highly than her life. Now that it was made into this appalling look, Luo Jing Ying widened her two eyes, even unwilling to believe this was herself. She began struggling with all her might, just wanting to have the water basin kicked over, unfortunately…………

“What kind of person is Li Ru Yu, you should be more clear than me. From the moment you found her, you should’ve already thought of possibly getting bitten back by her. Even if you want to scheme against me, with that many princesses and junzhus, and that many noble ladies with statuses higher than mine, who couldn’t you have looked for, yet you just had to looked for her? Of course, compared to others, what she had that was a bit more favorable was that she originally already had some grudges with me, and was relatively easy to be incited by you.”

Actually, another reason was probably because Li Ru Yu was impulsive and relatively brainless. Jing Wan knew this. Luo Jing Ying also knew this. However, it was precisely this kind of person, who did things based entirely on their own liking, that was difficult to control.

“Others however were different. Perhaps they would be moved, but won’t do anything that lacked in manners, and even possibly exchange benefits with me. Perhaps, this might even let me get closer with them. And this, isn’t something you want to see. Speaking of which, your ultimate goal is nothing more than the secret recipe in my hand. Actually, if you were able to be a little more patient, slowly planning things out, then the things in my hand would sooner or later be brought out. After all, those things, big sister Jia and them are also using. Getting discovered by someone is something that is going to happen sooner or later. And if the other party is of high status, then I can’t not give either, right? Letting one person know is the same as letting a bunch of people know. As long as it’s an outsider, in my eyes, there’s no difference. That’s why I’m rather baffled, just what exactly made you this resentful, and this impatient, using such a simple and crude method to this extent, not even concealing yourself. Third aunt definitely didn’t teach you like this, right? Say, if third aunt were to know, would she be angered to death by you? After all, you’ve destroyed her ‘illustrious reputation’^[1]

Jing Wan nonchalantly sat down to the side, turning her head to look at Luo Jing Ying, “Also, scheming against you sister in such an open and brazen manner, when we return, it won’t be as simple as just getting locked up. Despite clearly knowing this, you still did it without turning back. Is it that you’ve actually gone mad with wanting to harm me, or is it that you’re confident that you’ll be able to escape punishment?”

Luo Jing Ying just ‘wu wu wu’ screamed at Jing Wan through her stuffed mouth……

“I know you won’t tell me. I originally was just asking anyways, don’t really want an answer. That’s why, I don’t intend to free your mouth either. Having you like this can at least let my ears be a little more peaceful. Anyways, I came because I actually want to thank fourth sister. If not for you, how would I have gone up to play the qin.” As Jing Wan said this, she looked to her fingers, “Although these hands of mine were indeed a bit tragic, I was able to become famous with one song, obtaining the entire audience’s cheers, obtaining the Grand Elder Princess’s favor, and also the later grandeur that you don’t know about. Right now, among the nobles in the entire capital, afraid there won’t be many that won’t remember me. See, these are all because of fourth sister.” Jing Wan lightly sighed, “Ai, actually, fourth sister probably likes me the most, right? After all, you’re even using your face to help pave the road for me, else, at this time, I would probably still be sitting in a corner, obscure and unknown. Say, how should I repay you?”

Jing Wan’s servant girls had their mouths covered, their two shoulders trembling. Their miss really was too mean. Wherever fourth miss hurt the most was where she would just stab with all her might. However, their miss’s mean side didn’t make them dislike her at all. These were all fourth miss’s own fault after all. One has to know, their miss has always been kind to others. With that many sisters in the manor, which one was their miss not good to? Only fourth miss alone only knows to blindly blame others, never once able to see her own faults, forever only seeing others being mean to her, never thinking to herself, so long as she was a bit good to others, then it wouldn’t be as bad as…………..

Jing Wan casted a glance at the two of them. The two hurriedly put away their smiles and obediently stood there.

Luo Jing Ying never detested Luo Jing Wan as much as right now, this slut, slut, slut……….

Her mother was right, this slut was born to subdue her. For everyday this slut is alive, she’ll never have a good life.

Did she not know it was lively outside? Did she not know the waves Jing Wan caused? She knew. These two darn old hags went out in turns, and then returned to vividly tell the other the things they’ve heard from the mouths of the Grand Elder Princess Manor’s servants. But in reality, how was it not just for her to hear.

[1] This comes from an idiom meaning ‘a lifetime’s illustrious name’; it’s usually used in a negative way to say that one’s illustrious name up until now has been ruined. In this case, in Jing Wan’s view, Liu-shi is very intelligent and good at scheming, but Luo Jing Ying’s actions have ruined her ‘good’ name.

T/N: A short little plug but if anyone’s a fan a Nirvana in Fire, I know someone who’s still selling a fan artbook for Nirvana in Fire. This one’s my copy below, sorry the lighting in my room is really crappy and it’s like 1am. It’s a really pretty artbook, I really recommend it if you’re a fan of the bromance in NIF. There’s not a lot of copies left, so grab one while you still can. I really love Nuri’s art so this my small way of supporting her ヾ(′?｀)?
