Chapter 117.2: Completely Unscrupulous

Luo Jing Ying was half-stripped by Li Hong Ming, her outer clothes all hanging on her arm, with only her dudou remaining.

In contrast, Li Hong Ming didn’t even have a single hair out of place. However, fortunately, he can still be considered to have some misgivings, and won’t really go overboard in the Luo Manor. Thus, he didn’t completely have Luo Jing Ying made into his woman. However, even so, he still let Luo Jing Ying have a full taste of the addiction within. And it won’t take long for Luo Jing Ying to be sucked dry and wiped clean.

It’s just that Li Hong Ming’s mood won’t be too good, that’s all, having only scratched the surface, his body also burning along. However, even if he had his bodyguards on the lookout, he still didn’t dare to let go of himself. The unexpected can appear at anytime. If by chance he were to be discovered, exposing a shameful appearance, it won’t do him any good. Therefore, seeing that Luo Jing Ying was more or less at her limit, he held her limp body and helped her put on her clothes, completely covering up the marks left on her body. Aside from her hair being slightly messy, and also having a bit of sweat, the rest for the most part couldn’t be made out. However, with Luo Jing Ying’s current state, getting seen within a short period of time, anyone with a discerning eye will be able to tell at a glance what happened.

Li Hong Ming let her lean against him to rest for a while. However, during this process, he himself wasn’t too comfortable either. But, Li Hong Ming has always been one with an astonishing level of self-restraint and endurance. Under necessary circumstances, even his bodily desires can be suppressed. When Luo Jing Ying have more or less recovered, he took out a half-a-palm sized lustrous white jade pendant from under his belt sash and placed it into Luo Jing Ying’s hand. “This is something this prince has always carried around. The original woven strap for it broke, and haven’t had the time to fit another one for it. And now, this prince will have it handed to Ying’er.”

(T/N: ‘Woven strap’ is really just a loose description, it’s better to just look at the pic below. In chinese it’s called a ‘laozi’, which literally means ‘net-like object’, usually the jade piece will hang below it.)

Luo Jing Ying held this considerably expensive looking jade pendant in her hand. This was wangye giving her a token of love?! Her originally still faintly anxious heart thoroughly settled down. “Ying’er will fit for it the most beautiful woven strap, and secretly carry it on oneself.”

“Alright.” This thing was indeed for the sake of pacifying Luo Jing Ying’s heart, and was indeed a treasure. But, it wasn’t something Li Hong Ming frequently carried around. Looking at its outer appearance, there weren’t any special traits, so even if someone takes this thing to go find him, if anything unexpected were to happen in-between, Li Hong Ming can completely deny it. No one would be able to get a leverage on him. “Ying’er, in a few days, can you come out? This prince wants to take you to the imperial villa to play.”

Luo Jing Ying thought about her current situation. If she wants to go out, afraid she’ll need her grandmother’s permission, so naturally she would need to be well-behaved and obedient. And in her grandmother’s eyes, being the most obedient for her probably just meant not provoking Luo Jing Wan, that little slut. Alright, in order to be able to go, she decided, for the following period of time, she absolutely won’t appear in front of that slut. Fortunately, the incident this time, her mother was also very angry about. Ever since she came out of the little buddha hall, her mother has not said a single word to her. To say she wasn’t sad, definitely was a lie. Aside from going to give her morning greetings, so what if she doesn’t set foot outside the third branch courtyard. It’ll be good to coax her mother. “Wangye, this, Ying’er can’t ascertain. Because one’s body still hasn’t recovered completely, my mother and them doesn’t allow me to go out, that’s why…………..”

“That’s fine, whenever Ying’er is able to come out, can just send someone to inform this prince. After all, Ying’er’s health is the most important.” This kind of coaxing words just freely came out of the mouth.

In that moment, Luo Jing Ying felt she was the happiest woman in the world. Her choice, as expected, wasn’t wrong. Once she enters the Rui Qinwang Manor, and once she gives birth to the eldest son for this man, the entire Luo family, including those two old fossils, can all be trampled on however she pleases. Rather want to see, when time comes, how Luo Jing Wan can still be insolent. Luo Jing Ying smiled exceptionally happily.

“That’s right, how come Ying’er didn’t go to the bridal chamber side to join in on the fun?”

Luo Jing Ying’s complexion went pale. Tugging the corner of her mouth, she smiled very forcibly, “Third older sister doesn’t like me, and third brother is her full-blooded di elder brother, so definitely won’t welcome me either. So it’s best for me to not go invite their disdain.”

Liu-shi once told her, even if you hate someone, don’t complain about their shortcomings in front of others. Instead, you need to let others become aware of your good. Only when you become the best, towards those that don’t get along with you, the fault within, outsiders will naturally assume lies with the other party. Compared to simple slander, this is countless times more effective.

(T/N: To be fair Liu-shi isn’t wrong about this tactic, RFF is the best example of doing this right. Unfortunately her own daughter LJY isn’t smart enough for this.)

“Our Ying’er is such a good girl, how could there be anyone that doesn’t like, presumably there must be some misunderstandings between you two. When given the chance, just resolve the misunderstanding, no need to be upset.” Towards Luo Jing Ying and Jing Wan’s disharmony, Li Hong Ming wasn’t very clear about, however, he still more or less knew a little. As for the specifics, he didn’t know, and towards this kind of trivial matter, he also completely didn’t have the need to know.

“En, Ying’er will.”

“Then, for now, how about Ying’er just return to your own courtyard to clean yourself up, and then head over to the bridal chamber for a look.”

“Ying’er will all listen to wangye.”

Luo Jing Ying very reluctantly left. It truly was ‘take one step, turn back three times’. And Li Hong Ming just gently watched her the whole time.

When Luo Jing Ying completely disappeared from view, the expression on his face completely vanished. However, his bodily desires still haven’t completely faded, so for the time being, he didn’t leave. Without Luo Jing Ying at his side, no matter how long he stands here, it all wasn’t a problem, and no matter who sees, all not of concern.

When the servant girl Luo Jing Ying left outside saw Luo Jing Ying finally emerge, her fretful heart finally settled down. She came to Luo Jing Ying’s side to serve her after Luo Jing Ying came out from the little buddha hall. She originally was a second-ranked servant girl at Liu-shi side. As for Luo Jing Ying’s temper, she naturally was also very well aware, who knows when Luo Jing Ying will cause trouble again. Having gone to the flower garden alone for more than a quarter of an hour, how could she not worry? If by chance anything were to happen, the ones to suffer will only be them.

She although didn’t know what Luo Jing Ying went to do, she was very clear that miss only went after hearing that Rui Qinwang was in the flower garden, and prior to that, she was all somewhat absentminded and restless the whole time. She wasn’t completely unaware of worldly affairs, because she originally was prepared by Liu-shi to be Luo Rong Ping’s tongfang. But with Huan Yiniang’s appearance, this matter was given up on. The matters between man and woman, she never experienced before, but knew about it. When she saw clear Luo Jing Ying’s appearance, her heart jumped. And after carefully observing Luo Jing Ying’s walking posture, most likely the irreversible thing didn’t happen.

“Let’s head back.”

“Yes.” That servant girl practically couldn’t wish for it more.

Unsure whether or not it was because Luo Jing Ying had a guilty conscience, but on the way back, she walked avoiding people as much as possible.

Her body was all sticky, not too comfortable, so she directly let someone prepare the water for a bath.

Have to say, at this time, who would want to take a bath for no reason. Luo Jing Ying’s caretaker mama was also an old seasoned veteran, and recalling Luo Jing Ying’s appearance, she had some guesses inside. Without a second word, she directly had the servant girl called over. That servant girl knew this caretaker mama of miss’s was keen, so she didn’t dare conceal anything either, narrating everything in full detail.

When the caretaker mama finished listening, she narrowed her eyes, but didn’t say anything either. In reality, she was the fourth person in this third branch that knew about Luo Rong Ping’s plan. Liu-shi very much trusted her, and including this matter, didn’t hide anything from her in the slightest.

This caretaker mama was actually someone from Liu-shi’s mother’s side, and was also someone who wholeheartedly thought about the Liu family’s glory. If able to exchange for the Liu family’s revival, she also would not hesitate to do anything.

After the water was lifted into Luo Jing Ying’s room, this caretaker mama walked in, having the other servant girls all sent out.

Luo Jing Ying, at the moment, still haven’t noticed the marks on her own body, “Mama, do you need something?”

“This servant will serve miss in bathing.”

Luo Jing Ying although was confused, but didn’t really refuse.

As soon as she took off Luo Jing Ying’s clothes, she saw the marks on her body, and connecting with Luo Jing Ying’s demeanor, there was intimacy, but didn’t lose her virginity. She placed her hands on Luo Jing Ying’s shoulders, but didn’t massage. Instead, she gently caressed, carrying a bit of ambiguity, “For men………..” When Luo Jing Ying first heard her words, her heart jumped in shock, but after listening to her caretaker mama neither slowly nor quickly narrate, “Miss, you can try closing your eyes, just treat this hand on you right now as Rui Qinwang’s hand.”

Luo Jing Ying obediently did as told. By her ear echoed the mama’s various shameful to the extreme descriptions, while her mind followed along with all sorts of imagination, and also those two hands on her……..Luo Jing Ying gradually couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Miss doesn’t need to bite the lip, you can make sounds………..” And even attentively explained to her how to make sounds that were the most pleasant to hear.

To put it bluntly, this caretaker mama was doing nothing more than just instructing Luo Jing Ying how to serve men.

And what she taught her, naturally weren’t anything a proper woman would do. In fact, they were things that only the women at the brothels would do.
