Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 541: Not Daring to Pursue Certain Matters

Seeing that Sun Yi Jia’s complexion was off, Luo Jing Bo hurriedly went up to support her, “Yi Jia, what’s wrong?”

Sun Yi Jia faintly felt her stomach ache a little. She knew, her emotions were too intense, affecting the child. Hastily stabilizing her emotions as much as possible, she let out two breaths, “I’m somewhat unwell, why don’t we go back?”

“Alright.” Luo Jing Bo hurriedly nodded, carefully wiping away the tears on her face.

Regardless whether Sun Yi Jia was really unwell or pretending to be unwell, since she was already given out for adoption, and even a married daughter, she all don’t need to observe mourning, let alone keep watch in the mourning hall. This while, regardless of whether it was the Sun family, or outsiders, they all remained silent. In reality, with Sun Yi Lin’s ‘shocking remark’ in front, on Sun Yi Jia’s side, not even a single ripple was formed.

Besides, in Sun Yi Jia’s stomach, that was the Head Minister of Appointments’s great grandchild. The Head Minister of Appointments’s momentum right now was just right. Although the Ding Duke Manor, because of Rui Qinwang’s downfall, and Kang Qinwang taking the lead, seemingly once again stood at the peak of power, they still didn’t dare to directly face the Head Minister of Appointments. If possible, they still wanted to rope him in.

The two families’ relationship wasn’t that great to begin with. If something were to happen to Sun Yi Jia in the Ding Duke Manor, the Head Minister of Appointments most likely won’t just laugh it off that easily.

The couple very quickly left with their servants. And the matters regarding Sun Yi Lin also very quickly spread.

It was obvious, however high Sun Yi Lin once stood that was how miserable he will get stepped on afterwards. Compared to delivering charcoal through the snow, this kind of thing, believe that there will be even more people that will throw stones down the well, especially the many ignorant people, just conforming to what the majority say. Their greatest joy was just gossiping various things, adding on guesses based on their subjective views, never considering what kind of harm it would cause the people involved.

Sun Yi Lin went to see Sun Old Madam. The two of them privately chatted, the time also not considered long, probably just around a quarter of an hour. No one knew what they talked about. Just, after Sun Yi Lin came out, compared to before like a soulless walking corpse, he seemingly finally had a bit more life.

For the people serving Sun Old Madam, the time they’ve been with her wasn’t considered short. Sun Old Madam’s emotions although didn’t show on the outside, it didn’t mean that they weren’t able to detect in the slightest. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

As such, this while, the old madam may appear to be no different from usual, but in reality, her mood wasn’t good. In fact, it can be said to be very terrible.

This situation rather wasn’t hard to understand. Just look at Sun Yi Lin’s current abysmal state.

Sun Yi Lin and Sun Yi Jia were the two grandchildren that Sun Old Madam loved the most. One has to know, even towards her great-grandchildren, she was all indifferent. For Sun Yi Lin to become like this now, how could she not be heartbroken. For the people serving her, there were also quite a few that were elderly in age. That was also watching Sun Yi Lin grow up. Sometimes, they even daringly had Sun Yi Lin viewed as their own younger generation. Even for them, seeing him like this, they would all incomparably feel sad, so how it would be for Sun Old Madam, it goes without saying.

When going in, it was all being extra careful.

The mamas rather wanted to console a few words, but unfortunately, they were actually Sun Old Madam’s dowry servant girls’ second generation. When they came to Sun Old Madam’s side to serve, Sun Old Madam had long gone through the wind and rain, already steady and reserved. Even if there’s something, she also won’t tell them. Because Sun Old Madam’s heart had long hardened through her time in the Ding Duke Manor, even if these people had served her for twenty thirty years, in reality, she still wasn’t that close with them, let alone having heart to heart talk like ‘sisters’.

Rather than going to console, the old madam probably further hoped to not be bothered right now. What she needed was peace.

The truth was also indeed as such. If at this time, someone insensitive were to come looking, especially harboring certain motives, wanting to paint Sun Yi Lin in a bad light in front of Sun Old Madam, then it was absolutely looking to get whipped without a doubt.

TN: All

Ever since Sun Yi Lin and Sun Yi Jia were given out for adoption, in terms of money, Sun Yi Lin naturally was no longer that well off. Of course, after going to Jiangnan, Sun Yi Lin’s expenses, under his deliberate care, had long reduced. Reality proved that even after leaving the Ding Duke Manor’s luxury, he can still get by. That’s why, even without the Ding Duke Manor’s wealth, he similarly can still live his life.

When Sun Old Madam had the two siblings given out, did she not consider this problem? Previously, the old duke’s younger brother that had died prematurely had no descendants, so naturally there didn’t exist any family properties. Now that this branch have people, receiving a share of family property was only natural. Sun Yi Jia’s dowry was just a portion of this family property. That’s why, at the time, Sun Old Madam had just clearly stated, whoever dares to go to the Luo Manor to make a ruckus over this, she will just open the ancestral halls and have said person expelled from the family. This instantly just had certain people’s crooked thoughts dispelled.

When Sun Yi Jia married, that was as the Ding Duke Manor’s only di daughter. Moreover, her dowry was arranged according to the standards of a qin-wangfei. Although afterwards she married Luo Jing Bo, her dowry reducing a little, but it was still very ample, able to make many people covet. She already wasn’t the Ding Duke Manor’s noble daughter anymore, so they naturally should have it taken back, but unfortunately, Sun Old Madam had these people’s tricks seen through at a glance, directly killing at the source.

Additionally, she’d also prepared a share for Sun Yi Lin. In reality, it wasn’t much, even far less than what will be given to the Ding Duke Manor’s shu sons in the future. Of course, the premise being that the Ding Duke Manor haven’t declined.

Moreover, this share of family property was also far less than the total value of Sun Yi Jia’s dowry. However, in Sun Old Madam’s eyes, Sun Yi Lin won’t mind this bit. He was capable and talented. As long as he excelled, what did this bit of materialistic goods count as.

For Sun Old Madam to this bluntly have Sun Yi Lin given out, how was it not for the sake of protecting Sun Yi Lin. After all, the current state of affairs was placed there. Towards the Ding Duke Manor, she wasn’t the least bit optimistic, and once they fail in seizing the throne, the Ding Duke Manor will definitely get kicked into the abyss. Sun Yi Lin cutting ties with the Ding Duke Manor, while at the same time preserving him to the greatest degree, it can also be considered leaving the Ding Duke Manor a way out.

Just, while Sun Old Madam was waiting for Sun Yi Lin to smoothly rise up, she probably never thought that Sun Yi Lin would become like this now. In Sun Old Madam’s eyes, injuring the face was all trivial. The most important thing was his mental state.

Sun Old Madam’s heartache absolutely wasn’t something outsiders can imagine.

Just, with Sun Yi Lin’s one line: “Grandmother, unable to go back.”

Sun Old Madam no longer said anything, just sorrowfully closing her eyes, “Go then, and in the future, don’t come back anymore.”

Her tone wasn’t heavy, but Sun Yi Lin was able to sense his grandmother’s deep disappointment towards him.

Sun Yi Lin kowtowed towards Sun Old Madam, his departing figure also exceptionally firm.

That share of assets that Sun Old Madam prepared for him also wasn’t mentioned. Even if mentioned, Sun Yi Lin also won’t want.

Sun Yi Lin, just as he’d said, went to look for Sun Yi Jia, going to his younger sister and brother-in-law’s place to ‘freeload’. Sun Yi Lin actually wasn’t that embarrassed, even if having fallen to such.

In reality, in his bones, he still possessed his own pride. As for why he didn’t mind looking for Sun Yi Jia, that was because that was his younger sister, the person closest to him. That’s why, for many things, he was all able to calmly face.

Sun Yi Jia had her emotions kept under control, also letting the manor doctor take her pulse. Fortunately, there wasn’t any influence. However, she didn’t forget Sun Yi Lin’s words, first having this matter reported to Luo Old Madam. Without needing Sun Yi Jia to say more, Luo Old Madam just ordered someone to prepare a guest room in the outer courtyard. As for Sun Yi Lin’s reputation going bad in the future, and whether or not it will affect the Luo family, it was obvious, Luo Old Madam simply didn’t care. Because in her heart, there was a scale, so for some things, she was fully aware inside.

Towards having this kind of sensible grandmother, Sun Yi Jia naturally was extremely grateful.

Just, Sun Yi Jia still didn’t know what specific plans her older brother had, further not knowing how serious his facial injuries were, and whether or not it will affect his official career. For a moment, she truly was anxious in all kinds of ways. However, she could only forcibly suppress it, letting herself not overthink as much as possible. Right now, she couldn’t afford to worry.

Sun Yi Lin reached the Luo Manor, properly cleaning up, his entire person appearing a little more spirited. Even the injury on his face, he also didn’t refuse the doctor examining. In reality, to not look, one won’t know, but once one saw, it was a great shock. Tearing apart the white cloth, the injury appeared bumpy and wrinkly. Some areas seemingly already began growing new flesh, while some areas were somewhat infected, appearing painful to look at. However, Sun Yi Lin was completely expressionless, seemingly as if not sensing any pain.

The manor doctor carefully treated for him, using the best medicine——-the one that Jing Wan frequently sent over.

“On gentleman’s body, afraid it’s not just this one injury.” Just now, the manor doctor had carefully checked Sun Yi Lin’s injury, “This injury doesn’t appear to be light. It’s best if gentleman doesn’t hide the injury due to worries. If gentleman is worried about our third young madam, then gentleman can rest assured. This old man will help gentleman cover up in front of third young madam.”

Sun Yi Lin momentarily fell silent, finally loosening his clothes, “Will be troubling you.”

The injuries on Sun Yi Lin’s body wasn’t even bandaged. Perhaps it’d been taken apart when bathing, and it wasn’t convenient for him to bandage on his own. Just, at a glance, it was very obvious, Sun Yi Lin although had misgivings, but he really wasn’t that careful. Some areas clearly got touched by water.

As a doctor, the most unbearable was seeing people like Sun Yi Lin that didn’t cherish their own body.

The Luo family manor doctor, Jing Wan was also relatively familiar with. Originally, he was a responsible and diligent old doctor of few words, yet this while, he was nagging nonstop as he treated Sun Yi Lin’s injury.

Sun Yi Lin’s face was expressionless, but on the inside, he more or less felt peculiar. Hearing a stranger’s concern, he was a bit moved, but even more so feeling ironic.

After everything was treated, Sun Yi Lin appeared increasingly close to his original image as the number one gentleman of the capital, especially in front of Sun Yi Jia, his expression all softening a little.

The manor doctor had Sun Yi Lin’s ten part injury weakened to three parts. When Sun Yi Jia heard, she actually relaxed a breath.

“Brother, how did you get injured?” This was the matter that Sun Yi Jia cared about the most.

“A fire.” Sun Yi Lin just said this, not saying any more.

Sun Yi Jia although knew her own older brother’s temper, but when really not wanting to say anything, he absolutely won’t open his mouth. His attitude right now very clearly showed this. “Then, brother, what plans do you have in the future? Is it going back to Jiangnan, or staying in the capital?” In Sun Yi Jia’s eyes, her older brother, even if crippled, still wouldn’t go as far as to lose his official post. The problem was just whether or not he can become a close serving minister to the emperor.

“Little sis, I don’t plan on continuing as an official.” Sun Yi Lin said it very calmly.

Sun Yi Jia’s eyes widened a little, her lips slightly trembling. She’d always known about her older brother’s lofty aspirations and great ambitions, yet now, he said he didn’t want to be an official? This was merely because of the injury brought about by a fire that simple?

Sun Yi Jia even somewhat didn’t dare to continue questioning.
