Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 550.1: Can Be at Ease Now?

On this side, Sun Yi Jia consoled Min Xiao Yuan. Seeing her entire person all happy and carefree, truthfully speaking, in this moment, even she hoped that she can fulfill her wish. But, this matter, it wasn’t something they can have the final say in. In the end, it still needed to depend on Sun Yi Lin’s thoughts. In Sun Yi Jia’s eyes, even if having someone else in one’s heart, it actually didn’t get in the way of marriage, no? Although towards Min Xiao Yuan, it might be a bit unfair, but in this world, how many couples have mutual affinity?

She believed that even if Min Xiao Yuan knew her older brother’s situation, she would probably still be willing. That kind of feeling of liking someone, wanting to be together with the other party, prior to marrying her husband, perhaps it wasn’t considered prominent, although at the time she had feelings, it still wasn’t very obvious, but after marrying, the feelings grew deeper with each passing day. She can understand, as long as one was together with the person one loved, then even if just quietly sitting there, one would also feel happy. That’s why, she believed that even if Min Xiao Yuan has bitterness inside, she would still mostly be willing.

After marrying, becoming the most intimate person, as the days pass, it wasn’t necessarily impossible to wait until the clouds part revealing the bright moon.

Just, she worried that her older brother would be stubborn, seriously unwilling to marry for his whole life.

However, Sun Yi Jia also knew, if her older brother really was able to that easily think things through, then perhaps he wouldn’t be like this now. Some people clearly appear very openminded, able to clearly see through and understand everything, but once they form an obsession, perhaps it was harder for them to forget and let go than anyone.

Min Xiao Yuan although was temporarily staying in the Luo Manor, but for the most part, she was still unable to see Sun Yi Lin’s figure. Sun Yi Lin was deliberately avoiding her. The reasoning was also very justifiable, the etiquette between man and woman. Min Xiao Yuan was also helpless. Moreover, in someone else’s home, if she were to do something inappropriate, affecting another family’s clean reputation, then wouldn’t she just become a sinner. As such, she also didn’t insist on looking for Sun Yi Lin, instead spending the majority of her time in front of Sun Yi Jia, wanting to learn more about Sun Yi Lin’s past from this ‘younger sister-in-law’.

Sun Yi Jia also didn’t hide anything, telling her a lot, big and small matters, in extreme detail, even unhesitantly revealing some awkward stories from Sun Yi Lin’s childhood. Min Xiao Yuan couldn’t stop laughing, “He has always been an upright gentleman that sometimes I even wonder, when he was little, whether he would also deliberately put on a look, like a little adult, but never thought that he would also have mischievous moments.” After laughing, she also somewhat yearned, how come she couldn’t meet him earlier, if able to meet earlier……

“When fifth brother was little, he would take me to play. At the time, I already felt, I like fifth brother the most. However, as we slowly grew older, fifth brother just became increasingly stiff and dull.” Sun Yi Jia spouted nonsense without the slightest sense of embarrassment. One has to know, when she was little, she got restricted by her mother very tightly, needing to learn everything. Even before she could walk properly, the rules and etiquette were already carved into her bones. In the elders eyes, she was quiet and virtuous, but in the other little beansprouts’ eyes, she was the one that was stiff and boring. And now, she had the nerve to have it all ‘framed’ on her older brother.

It was nothing more than being certain that Min Xiao Yuan won’t go before her older brother to seek confirmation. Besides, even if getting found out by her older brother, she also didn’t mind. What can he even do to her? Towards her own older brother, even if she doesn’t have anyone backing her, her confident was still very ample.

The conservation then turned onto Sun Yi Lin’s hobbies, “Compared to those antiques and calligraphy paintings, fifth brother still likes plants and flowers the most. When still back at the Ding Duke Manor, his entire courtyard was filled with all kinds of famous and valuable flowers, the layout also handled very well. It truly was unable to be more beautiful. Especially with the four great breeds of peony all gathered together, when blooming, it was exceptionally beautiful. The things in his courtyard, everything else, regardless of what, if I want, I can just take, but only those plants and flowers, he didn’t allow me to touch. I remember, one time, I deliberately snapped off one of his flower branches secretly. As a result, he actually got angry with me, even disregarding my pleas, ruthlessly whipping my palm.”

Although it was just casually said for Min Xiao Yuan to hear, but these things still evoked Sun Yi Jia’s wonderful memories. At the time, she felt that the Ding Duke Manor was wonderful, but now, that place, no longer had anything for her to miss.

When Sun Yi Jia returned from her memories, she just saw Min Xiao Yuan somewhat in a daze, completely not seeing the joy from before. Feeling puzzled, “Yuan Yuan, what’s wrong?”

Min Xiao Yuan looked to Sun Yi Jia, yet she was like as if she was about to cry, “Back in Jiangnan, there was a time where I’d tried to give him a pot of scarlet kaffir lily, just feeling that it very much matched him, so he should like, but he very clearly rejected, saying that what he disliked the most was precisely these plants and flowers. At the time, his expression really wasn’t like he was lying, so I also firmly believed without doubting.”

Sun Yi Jia lightly frowned. Truthfully speaking, this matter, she really didn’t know.

After all, when she’d married, her fifth brother still hadn’t met with any mishaps. In reality, among her dowry, there were even some rare flowers that weren’t documented. Her fifth brother even repeatedly instructed that she must take good care of them.

Shortly after, many things happened, but Sun Yi Jia and Sun Yi Lin didn’t keep in touch much, so she really didn’t know when he began ‘disliking’ the things he once liked the most.

Sun Yi Jia wondered whether or not it was still because of little sister Wan. Little sister Wan also liked plants and flowers, and moreover, very skilled in this area. The plants and flowers she raised were always better than others, even knowing quite a few techniques that others didn’t know. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

TN: All

But this seemingly wasn’t right either. All say, to love the house and its crow. Since he was unable to put down in his heart, then he should further like the things they share a love for, and it can also express his yearning. Or could it be that precisely because getting reminded when seeing was too painful, thus might as well not see?

“Then perhaps right now he doesn’t like anymore. As people, at different stages of life, the things one likes will also be different. That is also something that can’t be more normal. Just, after I married, very rarely would I see him. That’s why, I didn’t know. You don’t need to take it to heart.” Sun Yi Jia said, pretending to be nonchalant.

“Is it really like this?” Min Xiao Yuan asked in uncertainty.

Min Xiao Yuan was just a little openminded, many things not liking to bother about, but it didn’t mean that she was stupid. Moreover, towards the person she liked, she was always particularly sharp. That’s why, Min Xiao Yuan actually faintly sensed that Sun Yi Lin perhaps had someone in his heart, and it’s also because of this, he thus was ultimately unwilling to accept her.

“Of course.” Sun Yi Jia very assuredly nodded, yet she was somewhat nervous on the inside, feeling that this matter, absolutely can’t let Min Xiao Yuan know. She kept feeling that if she were to know, this girl that was stubborn and unwilling to let go, perhaps would just let go. When there was no one in the heart, she can build up courage and chase after, but if the other party clearly has someone else in their heart, to still be unwilling to give up, then that was really just lowering oneself.

Humans all have their own pride, and as someone born from an influential family, their educational philosophy was just being superior to others, although this didn’t mean that they just looked down on ordinary people, but rather, they possess an even stronger pride and ego. Min Xiao Yuan chasing after Sun Yi Lin already was the extent of what she can accomplish, because she liked too much.

However, some things also can’t be kept a secret forever. That’s why, Min Xiao Yuan will know sooner or later. But, Sun Yi Jia was clear, it wasn’t now, and it also can’t come from her mouth. It should be when there’s less tension between them, letting that good older brother of hers personally tell Min Xiao Yuan. By that time, her older brother should have put down those feelings, or at least, no longer have that strong of an obsession, severing all future possibilities.

Sun Yi Jia felt that she should create for them time and space to cultivate feelings. It was obvious, the Luo Manor wasn’t a good place. It was still best to let them leave the capital as quickly as possible. When time comes, while on the road, no matter how he avoids, there will still be chances to meet.

Knowing the reason why Sun Yi Lin delayed leaving the capital, she had an idea inside. Turning her head, she immediately sent someone to Jin Qinwang Manor, wanting to invite Jin Qinwang Manor’s manor doctor over to take her pulse, saying that she felt somewhat unwell.

When Jing Wan learned that Sun Yi Jia wanted to invite Gong Jiu to the Luo Manor, she was inwardly startled, even thinking that something big had occurred. After all, under normal circumstances, no one from the Luo family would do something like inviting Jin Qinwang Manor’s manor doctor. Right now, Jin Qinwang Manor’s manor doctor was very renowned, having treated several noble personages in the palace, yet one didn’t see them just ask for Gong Jiu to enter the palace over minor problems. That’s why, where did the Luo family have that big of a face. If they really were to invite Jin Qinwang Manor’s manor doctor every other day, then Le Cheng Emperor certainly would be unhappy.

Just, Jing Wan saw that the servant girl that came to invite Gong Jiu was still calm and peaceful, not appearing flustered. This wasn’t the display of something major happening. Thus, after pondering, it should be something else.

The people of the Luo family, the great majority were all people that Jing Wan cared about. That’s why, she even wanted to go back to have a look. However, the mid-autumn assassination incident still didn’t have any leads, so the court wasn’t too peaceful. At this time, it wasn’t a good time to go back. That’s why, Jing Wan could only press down her worries inside. Letting Gong Jiu take the trip was also the same.

As long as it was Li Hong Yuan’s or Jing Wan’s order, no matter where, Gong Jiu naturally will all comply. Even if it’s a beggar, he also won’t because he’d treated the emperor, just produce an ego. For people like them, it was forever having their master’s words placed first. Whoever his master lets him treat, he will treat, and whoever his master doesn’t let him treat, he absolutely won’t treat.

When Gong Jiu was taking Sun Yi Jia’s pulse, it was done right in front of Min Xiao Yuan’s face. Min Xiao Yuan originally wanted to avoid, but got stopped by Sun Yi Jia, letting her sit for a while.

Gong Jiu was very quick in taking the pulse, and because Sun Yi Jia’s situation was pretty good, he didn’t make out anything wrong, but he still abided by his duties, instructing Sun Yi Jia some things. One has to know, ever since diagnosing Jing Wan’s pregnancy, Gong Jiu didn’t put in any less effort in this area. He was all about to become an expert in this field.

Not only Sun Yi Jia, even the servant girls and mamas by her side all diligently listened. Although it was her second child right now, already having experience, but the places one should pay attention to, one still needs to pay attention.

“Doctor Gong, can you please examine this young lady as well. It’s her first time in the capital, having fallen greatly ill on the way here. Right now, she still hasn’t fully recovered. This seems to have dragged out a bit long. It’s best not to leave behind any complications.” Sun Yi Jia said as such.

T/N: Happy New Year! Hope everyone can have a good 2023! Personally, I feel like I very likely can finish translating this this year, and finally move on. As much as I love this , it’s been a very long project. I don’t know if I will be able to take a short break afterwards.
