Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 135: Tearing Apart

Luo Old Madam patted Jing Wan’s hand, “Wan Wan, why don’t you go back first.”

Jing Wan nodded and stood up, “This granddaughter bids farewell.” She’d just walked two steps when she paused again, “Why don’t elder sister-in-law also come with me.” She pulled along Sun Yi Jia’s hand, slightly exerting some strength, carrying a bit of forcefulness.

Sun Yi Jia ultimately went along with her and left. Just, that line of sight from beginning to end, stayed on the Ding Duchess. Those eyes contained unspeakable pain, and also endless coldness. Afterwards, little by little it turned to indifference, all the way until her line of sight was completely blocked, seemingly already having her feelings towards her mother thoroughly severed. In that moment, towards this mother of hers, Sun Yi Jia no longer held any hope. In her heart, she as expected wasn’t anything.

Because of Sun Yi Jia’s gaze, the Ding Duchess’s heart uncontrollably shivered, but she didn’t understand why. However, she was also rather angry. Was that a look a daughter should have towards her own mother?

Jing Wan’s departure, in Sun Yi Lin’s eyes, was practically just like bidding farewell, “Jing Wan…………” He subconsciously wanted to chase after her, yet was obstructed.

Seeing that painful to the point of nearly collapsing look on Sun Yi Lin, Miss Shen’s heart jumped. She seemed to have committed a huge blunder. Just based on that level of care he has towards his fiancee, even if she enters the Ding Duke Manor, afraid it all won’t bring her any good. She tightly clenched the embroidered pouch at her waist. How could she not know she was being used by the Ding Duchess. Right now, what should she do? Was it to just give up to win back a tiny bit of his good sentiments, or even if it makes him hate her to death, still insist on legitimately becoming his woman? The heavy pain in her lower abdomen grew came even more intense.

That Miss Shen’s heart may be in complete disorder, but her di mother, the Right Commander-in-Chief’s madam, however was very clear in the head. Without a second word, she first apologized to Luo Old Madam, lowering her stance greatly. Regardless of how they’re going to fight with the Ding Duke Manor, towards the Luo family, their family was indeed the ones in the wrong. If at this time, she was still unable to recognize this bit, then she can be considered to have been sitting on this position as the Right Commander-in-Chief’s madam for nothing. In the past, she even thought that the Ding Duchess was evenly matched with her, but through this matter, she suddenly felt, fighting with her here and there in the past was practically an embarrassment.

That’s right, the role the Ding Duchess played in this matter, she also became aware of in the shortest amount of time.

The Right Commander-in-Chief’s madam’s attitude actually made Luo Old Madam’s complexion improve a little, but it was also just that little bit. Her icy gaze landed on that Miss Shen, “Move a chair over for Miss Shen, remember to add a cushion, then go invite the manor’s doctor over to check Miss Shen’s pulse. Else, if something were to happen to the child in her stomach, who knows whether or not rumors of ‘our Luo family being tyrannical, unable to tolerate others, already starting to act against the outer mistress’s child before our family’s young lady even marries in’ will spread.”

Luo Old Madam’s words weren’t polite in the slightest, and the ones to be embarrassed definitely weren’t just one or two people.

The most angry was definitely Sun Yi Lin. He ultimately didn’t believe this child was his. He usually doesn’t drink very much, with a light capacity for alcohol, and indeed gets drunk very easily, but he has never been drunk to the point of complete unconsciousness before. Moreover, regardless whether it was in the city, or outside of the city, there were always people by his side. This mere shu daughter of the Shen family, how great of an ability did she have to be able to reach his side? Never mind the people by his side having always been loyal to him, even if bribed, it’s not like he was a dead person. If someone crawls into his bed, letting him sleep with, would he not have the least bit of impression at all?

“Old Madam………”

Luo Old Madam waved her hand, “You don’t need to say anything. What exactly happened, you should have an understanding inside. You and Wan Wan’s engagement, initially, was also our Luo family’s fault.” It was their side that chose Sun Yi Lin, voluntarily seeking him out.

Sun Yi Lin already made out the implied meaning, instantly turning deathly pale, “Old madam, this girl, I simply don’t even recognize, and the child in her stomach further can’t be mine.” Sun Yi Lin anxiously explain, carrying frailness in his eyes, and a plea in his voice. He didn’t want to be sentenced to death just like this. The marriage fate that he’d finally obtained with great difficulty, he didn’t want to lose because of some strange reason. He clearly didn’t do anything, didn’t do anything………….

Seeing him like this, Luo Old Madam also felt somewhat unbearable inside momentarily, but this engagement must be cancelled. In the beginning, when discussing the marriage, the Ding Duchess’s conducts have already made her very displeased. But what happened in the end? In less than ten days, she began causing trouble again. Thus, if Wan Wan really were to marry over, would she still be able to have peaceful days? Besides, if this engagement doesn’t get withdrawn, Luo Old Madam can’t guarantee that Jin Qinwang won’t directly have Sun Yi Lin killed. After all, his previous few fiancees, aside from Sun Yi Jia, not a single one ended well. And for Sun Yi Jia to be able to escape unscathed, afraid it was still because of Jing Wan. It can be seen, just how ruthless Jin Qinwang was to the people that blocked his path.

And as for Sun Yi Lin’s denial, for Miss Shen, it was undoubtedly like a sharp blade directly stabbing into her heart, making her tremble in pain, “Gentleman Lin, it doesn’t matter if you deny knowing me, but this child is indeed yours.”

Sun Yi Lin coldly looked to her, “Mine? What evidence do you have to prove that it’s mine?”

“There’s a red mole on the inner side of your thigh.” Miss Shen blurted out.

Once these words came out, in addition to Sun Yi Lin’s expression momentarily distorting, it was more than enough to prove that her words were true. Everyone all subconsciously believed that the child should surely be Sun Yi Lin’s. After all, such a private place, if not someone in which one had an intimate relationship with, how would they know?

“So what, it’s not just one or two people that know about this bit.” Indeed, the mole on his leg, he’s had since he was born. Never mind his mother and wet nurse, even quite a few servant girls knew, and also those people that served him in his youth, which one didn’t know.

Miss Shen seemingly had no way of refuting, her tears falling in despair.

“For better or worse, you’re still the publicly accepted number one gentleman of the capital, this is having eaten yet unwilling to acknowledge? Although she’s a lowly girl, but for better or worse, her surname is still Shen. Could it be that Gentleman Lin thinks our Shen family is easy to bully, seducing our family’s young miss and even thinking of not taking responsibility?” The Right Commander-in-Chief’s madam coldly spoke. Then looking again to that shu daughter of hers, “To be pulled onto the bed by someone this easily, did he not give you a bit of something?” Her gaze swept over the embroidered pouch on that Miss Shen’s waist. For her to be clenching it in her hand this whole time, to say it wasn’t important, that was impossible, “What is it, take it out.” The Right Commander-in-Chief’s madam’s meaning was already very clear, and her gaze also carried a threatening look.

The Right Commander-in-Chief’s madam’s words made the Ding Duchess instantly explode, “Clearly it was your family’s young miss that didn’t know shame, crawling into my son’s bed. To actually dare accuse my son?! For better or worse, you’re still a madam of a Commander-in-Chief, isn’t this a little too shameless?”

Speaking of which, did the Right Commander-in-Chief’s madam not know how this child came to be? No, she more or less was still able to guess it. To say Sun Yi Lin voluntarily seduced and deceived this shu daughter of hers, she didn’t believe at all. Just based on this little slut from their family, this slut really didn’t have that ability to make Sun Yi Lin take fancy to her. But at this time, regardless of which aspect to consider from, she must reverse the situation, “Exactly who is shameless?” So what if she’s a little shameless, no matter what, it’s still much better than a certain someone having a broken brain. “Did you hear me, have the thing taken out.”

Miss Shen once again tightened her grip on the embroidered pouch. There was definitely an important thing inside. She ignored her di mother’s threat, and only foolishly stared at Sun Yi Lin. But, in Sun Yi Lin’s eyes, there was only disgust and deep hatred. Such heartlessness…………

She opened the embroidered pouch, having the thing inside brought out.

Seeing that piece of warm jade that has followed him for more than ten years, Sun Yi Lin’s mind blanked, instantly turning his head towards his own mother.

“Gentleman Lin gave me this. He said, during his first birthday, this is what the previous Ding Duke gave him as a birthday present. It’s a piece of extremely rare warm jade, and on it even carved the character for ‘Lin’ (霖).” That’s why, for women who’ve been hurt by heartlessness, they were all able to go all out. Originally, she once thought of withdrawing a step, but Sun Yi Lin’s gaze ruthlessly stabbed her.

The Ding Duchess was about to go crazy from anger. How dare she, how dare this little slut say this!? “Little slut, you dare to speak nonsense!?” The Ding Duchess went forward wanting to slap her.

But the Right Commander-in-Chief’s madam wasn’t a pushover either, swiftly grabbing the Ding Duchess’s wrist, “What? Your son had his personal item given to someone, so you just fly into a rage out of humiliation, wanting to take your anger out on the innocent?”

Have to say, the one whose heart has chilled the most right now was still Sun Yi Lin. That piece of jade, he although didn’t carry with him everyday, it was still something he carried at least fifteen days out of a month. Three days ago, he’d just switched it out, yet now it has become a ‘love token’, landing in the hands of a girl he didn’t even recognize, who even says she has his child. How laughable. And the most laughable part was that this jade, nine times out of ten, was ‘gifted’ away by his own mother. Was she really his actual mother? How was she able to go this far?

Sun Yi Lin wanted to cry, but he simply wasn’t able to cry. His grandmother was right, it’s not like Luo third miss refuses to marry anyone but him. Even if she were to have deep feelings towards him, there was still a year or two until the wedding date. With just his mother repeatedly trying to humiliate her again and again, no matter who, all won’t want to marry in anymore, unless it was those purely pursuing a political marriage, completely disregarding their own family’s young miss’s feelings. But was the Luo family like this? Absolutely not! Clearly it was their Ding Duke Manor that wanted to rope in the Luo family; clearly it was him that had deep feelings towards their young miss……….

Luo Old Madam coldly watched from the side. She actually didn’t expect that the Ding Duchess would have this great of an objection against Wan Wan. In that case, even if this Miss Shen didn’t come looking for them, and even if there were no Jin Qinwang, she still wouldn’t let Wan Wan marry into the Ding Duke Manor. The darling treasure that she held cupped in her hand like pearl, like jade, wasn’t something for others to humiliate and degrade.

Luo Old Madam’s anger right now surged like never before, her expression turning ever the more cold. With a light push of her hand, she just had the teacup by her hand pushed onto the floor, shattering with a crisp sound. This also made the two that were tearing at each other look over, instinctively retracting their hands at the same time. Luo Old Madam used a brocade handkerchief to wipe her hand, appearing very absentminded. “Apologies, my hand slipped. The manor’s doctor still hasn’t arrived yet? Quickly invite him in, and have him properly examine Miss Shen. For better or worse, it’s still the Ding Duchess’s grandson.”

The Ding Duchess just felt greatly humiliated, but at this time, she suddenly was unable to speak. Not just because of Luo Old Madam’s expression, but further because she inadvertently saw hatred from her son’s eyes.

“Yo, quite lively in here.” Luo Pei Shan returned.
