Chapter 176.2: Selfishness

Speaking of which, Luo Old Madam was also astonished inside, but didn’t show it on her face, “Yi Jia’s mother, this is having some business?” Getting right to the point, yet her tone was gentle, not at all harsh and stern.

The Ding Duchess was just like as if she didn’t see her, directly looking towards Sun Yi Jia, “Yi Jia, come home with me.”

Sun Yi Jia was unbearably angry. What did her mother mean by this? Her husband family’s grandmother was still regarded as her elder, yet she actually ignored her like this, disregarding even the most basic etiquette and manners, like as if she had offended her. Moreover, the first thing she said was just letting her go home with her. Who didn’t know, for daughters that have married, the husband’s family was considered their home. Even if one returned to one’s maiden family, that was still just as a guest. She was perfectly fine here, yet from her mother’s words, it was just like as if the Luo family had wronged her? “Mother, what nonsense are you saying, I’m the Luo family’s daughter-in-law. The Luo family’s courtyard in the imperial summer residence is here, where do you want me to go back with you to?”

“Yi Jia, don’t be scared, mother is here, mother will protect you from everything, no need to be scared of their Luo family.”

Sun Yi Jia’s complexion was blue and dark. What was all this? “Mother, why don’t you just quickly go back, don’t make a scene here.”

“Yi Jia, mother knows you’ve suffered hardship in the Luo family. They disdain you for your ruined appearance, treat you harshly, have delusions about your dowry, and also don’t let you come back to see me. They think that I won’t be able to crawl up again, so they bully you like this, but don’t worry, mother is here now, they won’t dare do anything to you. If worst comes to worst, we can just get a divorce, and come home. So what if the Ding Duke Manor raises you for a lifetime? Yi Jia…………..”

Never mind the Luo family masters, even the servants’ complexion were all deathly pale.

Sun Yi Jia directly cried in anger. How can her mother say something like this? She for better or worse came from a prestigious family, and was honored as the Ding Duchess, how can she so…………so shamelessly make up things? The imperial summer residence was built relatively concentrated to begin with. The neighbors next door were all high officials and noble personages, and this while, if not still settling in, it was just arriving. How many people were already stretching their heads, erecting their ears, to watch the play. Those who weren’t in the know, if they heard these words, they really will think the Luo family is this kind of family, an entire clan’s clean reputation getting smeared by her.

“Elder sister-in-law, don’t cry, don’t get angry……….” Jing Wan was worried about her body, and also the child in her stomach.

“Yi Jia, don’t cry, and don’t be scared, mother will back you up…………”

“Enough——–” Sun Yi Jia roared out with all her might, “What exactly do you want to do? What do you want to do? Am I your daughter or not, why must you treat me like this? I’m perfectly well in the Luo family, perfectly well, don’t know how many times happier than before marrying. Divorce? Go back with you? Raise me for a lifetime? How big of a grudge do you have against me, for you to hate me this much, unable to see me be well like this?” With extreme anger attacking the heart, she just felt a burst of pain coming from her lower abdomen, the blood from her face rapidly draining.

The masters and servants beside her were all terribly frightened. Outsiders may not know, but they knew that right now she was pregnant. Originally, with Luo Rong Ping’s matter already passing, they were just about to look for an opportunity to have the good news announced, but who’d expect that they would come across this. Luo Jing Bo hurriedly supported her, “Yi Jia, Yi Jia, how are you? Don’t scare me——–”

“Jing Bo, stomach, stomach hurts………..” Sun Yi Jia tightly grabbed him, “Child, my child………”

Gong mama, without needing to be ordered, let someone have Jing Wan pulled aside a little, and went forward first, grabbing Sun Yi Jia’s wrist. Just based on her appearance, one already knew that her situation wasn’t very good. “Third young master, quickly find a doctor to save the fetus, else…………”

“Doctor, where’s the doctor, which family has a doctor, quickly help my elder sister-in-law———-” Jing Wan was unbearably anxious.

Because of Luo Rong Ping, and also because of little Wang-shi, the Luo family’s manor doctor didn’t come along.

Those that were watching, how could they still not know what was going on. Obviously, this was having disturbed the fetus. Anyone with a discerning eye was all able to tell, this was the Ding Duchess looking for trouble. At this time, it was a good chance to sell the Luo family a favor. Without needing to say, the families with doctors quickly called for them.

The Ding Duchess however violently grabbed Sun Yi Jia, “Yi Jia, you’re pregnant? How come mother doesn’t know? Is it the Luo family, this black-hearted bunch, that forbid you from returning home to report? Quick, come home with mother, else you and your child will all be harmed by them.” Have to say, she already wasn’t able to stand properly, yet don’t know where this strength came from, unable to fling her off.

The doctor stood to the side, unable to intervene.

“Let go, and immediately get lost.” Luo Jing Bo was terribly worried, yet encountered such a crazy old woman. If not for the fact that she was still considered his mother-in-law, his crackling fists would have already swung over. That bit of respect because of her identity, this while, all evaporated into foam. In fact, there was even killing intent.

Seeing the scene this chaotic, the servants that the Ding Duchess brought along were also endlessly regretting. If they’d long known it would be like this, no matter what, they all wouldn’t have dared to bring her over. As for her personal servants, they were also terribly worried. If it goes on like this, the young lady’s child really won’t be able to be saved. When time comes, this grudge will certainly be big. But, their madam’s behavior right now was truly too strange. Those that once understood her the best all had no way of going along with her wishes, yet they also worried that she would have some mishap, so they could only gently and kindly urge her to let go, but she simply won’t listen, shouting with all her might: ‘Yi Jia, come home with mother.’

Sun Yi Jia’s hand was already bleeding from her grasp.

Luo Jing Bo no longer held back, directly reaching out to pry away her hands, that strength not gentle in the slightest.

“Guye[1], guye, please be gentle………….”

“Get lost—–”

“Move aside!” This voice was cold and stern, yet accompanied by a staff.

In the bystanders’ eyes, this was just Sun Old Madam unhesitantly beating them with the cane in hand. The servants in the surrounding turned their heads after getting beat, and seeing their own old madam, they immediately withdrew their necks and retreated to the side.

The Ding Duchess’s hand quickly got pried away by Luo Jing Bo, though in fact, there was also Gong mama’s contribution. She’d pressed down onto the acupuncture point on the inner side of the Ding Duchess’s wrist, letting the Ding Duchess instinctively loosen her grip. Gong mama then appropriately let go of her hand. Sun Old Madam grabbed her hand that still wanted to claw towards Luo Jing Bo’s hand, flinging it aside, and even swinging her a slap. That body that could barely stand steadily naturally got striked down. Unsure if it was because she was stupefied by the slap, or some other reason, all in all, the look she gave Sun Old Madam was somewhat lifeless. The scene instantly fell silent again. However, Sun Old Madam didn’t even give her a glance, “Where’s the doctor? Quickly come examine my granddaughter.”

The doctor to the side finally rushed forward. As soon as he took the pulse, his heart immediately jumped. To save this fetus, really needed to see one’s luck. “Quick, quickly have the person lifted into the room, and quickly lay them down.”

Luo Jing Bo waved aside the servant girls and servant women that were approaching to help, directly having Sun Yi Jia lifted horizontally, practically running towards the gates. The servants and doctor all hurriedly followed after.
