Chapter 215.2: Comparable to Severing All Relations

Everyone in the room were all extremely astonished, looking to Gu Zhang-shi in disbelief. Rather, it was Luo Rong Yan whose complexion was a bit peculiar.

“You, a young lady, even able to make up these kinds of words, truly just…….” Gu Zhang-shi was flustered and stern, her complexion increasingly drained of blood, seemingly also forgetting to continue shedding tears.

“Really sorry, that year, when you came to Qi’an Fu, blocking my father’s path and pouring out your feelings to him, I just happened to have overheard very clearly, and also saw very clearly. Want to know what all I saw?”

“Shut up, shut up…………”

“Precisely because of this, even if I’ve only met maternal aunt once, I still have a deep impression. And it’s also fortunate that my father is an upright gentleman, else…………” Jing Wan’s gaze grew indifferent, yet making one even more unable to bear than just directly mocking.

Everyone looked to Gu Zhang-shi like as if looking at something dirty, making her just want to rip apart Jing Wan, “The teeth and mouth sharp, not having one’s elder in one’s eyes, cruel and malicious………….”

“Enough, exiting the Luo family gates, spread rumors however you please. If I were to crease a single brow, then my surname won’t be Luo. Maternal aunt, one last word of advice, don’t have delusions about things you shouldn’t have delusions about. If you know your place, then the Luo family will lend you a courtyard to stay in, else, just quickly get lost.” Jing Wan plainly and cruelly had her face torn cleanly. The result of leaving room or leeway, it was just having some people be like cockroaches, bouncing around to disgust others. Encountering this kind of weirdo, letting her not dare do anything was the most advantageous strategy.

Gu Zhang-shi looked as if she was about to faint, her flickering gaze even floating onto Luo Rong Yan, seemingly even counting on him to speak for her, and nicely sort out this……….lowly spawn that humiliated her!

Unfortunately, Luo Rong Yan’s attention at this very moment was all on Jing Wan. In reality, getting yearned for by his older sister-in-law, he not only didn’t have the least bit of vanity, but rather felt very disgusted. If he can avoid, he just avoided as much as possible, but someone was just insensitive, running to Falling Plum Blossom Residence all day long and even nitpicked this and that, saying this wasn’t tasty, that wasn’t tasty, but one didn’t see her eat any less, and saying this kind of thing wasn’t good, that kind of thing wasn’t good, yet greed was carved in her eyes, wishing she could have everything all taken as her own. Furthermore, the ins and outs of her words were all just saying her younger sister did this wrong and did that wrong, and if it was her, what she would do, and so on, just short of having herself treated as the female master of Falling Plum Blossom Residence. And the most disgusting thing was, already at such an age, yet in front of him, still pretended to be bashful, and pretended to be delicate, randomly crying for no reason, and the daughter she raised……………

Zhang-shi blankly looked to her older sister, probably having suffered quite a blow, unable to return to her senses for quite a while.

“Mother…………”

“Ah? Wan Wan, you called me?” Zhang-shi returned to her senses, instantly having her older sister and whatnot thrown to the side, feeling her daughter’s mood wasn’t good right now, and her temper also not good, and thus needed to be careful.

“In the future, encountering someone like Hong Lian again, just directly beat to death with the rod.” Jing Wan was unprecedentedly callous in this very moment.

“That, how can that be okay, that’s a human life……….”

“That is someone trying to steal your husband.” Jing Wan expressionlessly interrupted her.

“But, but….” Zhang-shi fiddled with the handkerchief in hand, her head lowered, her eye sockets somewhat red, “Shouldn’t women view one’s husband as the sky and be gentle and virtuous?”

“According to your words, there should also be the line of ‘assisting the husband and educating the children’. Since you only accomplished half, wholeheartedly just considering for him, the children and the rest all thrown to one side, why can’t you just be a bit more ruthless?”

Zhang-shi, facing Jing Wan’s question, was very helpless. Things completely surpassed her controllable range, her gaze somewhat absent-minded, seemingly as if muttering, “Your father cares about me, others, others are nothing more than……………”

“Because he has you in his heart, that’s why you don’t care about him having others? Mother, don’t you know, someone saying something like caring about you the most, and others are just playthings, that is actually the most disgusting, even worst than married couples who are harmonious on the surface, but divided at heart. Actually, I sometimes very much suspect whether or not you really wholeheartedly love my father? If you really love, a lowly servant crawling on his bed, you actually are able to leave the person by the side like nothing happened? Don’t you feel disgusted or unbearable at all? Him being surrounded by beautiful concubines, you’re even able to virtuously and magnanimously take care of them? To completely not mind and not be jealous, that is what it means to truly be virtuous.” Jing Wan sometimes genuinely felt her mother was a weirdo among weirdos. She really wanted to pry open her brain and see exactly what she’s thinking all day. Sometimes, it genuinely made one’s three views[1] shatter.

Zhang-shi absent-mindedly stared at Jing Wan in a daze, not knowing why her daughter was this angry today, “Wan Wan, this way of thinking isn’t right, not right, especially since your future husband is a qinwang…………..”

“Enough, don’t use that mindset of yours to lecture me. Since childhood, you’ve never taught me anything, then now, please continue for it to remain this way. Since you’re willing to be this way now, then why should I keep meddling in your business.” Jing Wan coldly smiled, “Think I’m not right? Then just continue to firmly believe you’re right, and continue to be…………” lowly. In the end, she didn’t have that last word blurted out. In the past, she just felt her mother’s personality was just a little weak, her heart a little too saintly, and also her attitude towards the concubines, she just treated as her having been deeply brainwashed by the present doctrine, so towards these, she just let her be. It’s not like she was a real child, so she didn’t need her meticulous care, but her attitude towards Hong Lian made Jing Wan unable to control her emotions, directly exploding.

Jing Wan swept a glance at the other three people. What did a bed crawling slave count as, the one peeping at her husband, who was even married to another man, was even her own older sister. And the other party even had the intention of having her daughter shoved to her son as a concubine. Clearly it was them wanting to social climb, yet still belittled her son, further holding the banner of ‘doing this for your sake’. This kind of person, to actually be able to calmly face and not beat out first thing with the rod?! As expected, her mother was a deity she couldn’t understand.

If beating someone that in the future perhaps will never appear again to death, she was all able to dawdle on, then having her own older sister swept out the door, this kind of thing, she probably further wasn’t able to do. “Maternal aunt, pretending to be pitiful, selling your grievance, endlessly weeping at a moment of disagreement, this kind of person, I hate the most. If you want to continue staying in the Luo Manor, then put away that stupid look of yours, or perhaps, never appear before me. Everything else aside, towards you all, if I really want to drive out, it really is just a matter of one line from me.”

Jing Wan didn’t want to continue staying here.

She glanced one last time at Zhang-shi, retracting her gaze, “If you want to live this kind of days yourself, then that is your own business, just don’t cause trouble for my brother and sister-in-law. If you’re weak to pressure, and just agree to someone giving him a concubine, then don’t blame me for becoming hostile and heartless towards you, no longer acknowledging you, this mother. ———–Elder sister-in-law, I need to look for grandmother for some things, why don’t you come together with me?”

Sun Yi Jia somewhat worryingly glanced at Jing Wan, but in the end, didn’t say anything, getting up, “Alright. ——-Mother, this daughter-in-law will just take one’s leave first.” Turning around, she also curtsied towards Luo Rong Yan.

And Jing Wan, for the first time, did something that mannerless, directly going around her father’s side, leaving in a huff.

Luo Jing Bo didn’t know anything about concubines or whatnot, but roughly was able to guess it. Wasn’t this just digging a trap? He needed to quickly leave this sinful place, attentively supporting Sun Yi Jia, “This son will also take one’s leave.”

The couple slightly hastily followed out.

T/N: Another part where my brain just goes AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Luo Jing Bo at the end is the saving grace of my sanity.
