Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 366.2: Various Matters

Sun Yi Jia can be said to have repeatedly sighed at her own good luck. Her husband was ambitious to improve himself, and most importantly wasn’t fickle, extremely good to both her and their child. For women, marrying was just like reincarnating a second time, seeking nothing more than just these. Sun Yi Jia felt, in this life of hers, there was nothing else to ask for. Of course, she was actually still missing a son. After recuperating her body for another year, she’ll just try for a second child. Even if in the end, she can’t have a son, perhaps a bit regretful, but her life can still be considered perfect.

“Judging from your face, I just know, you’re certainly getting by quite smoothly, so I’m also too lazy to ask whether you’re well or not. Jiangnan, we won’t have the opportunity to go, so what all fun things are there?”

Jing Wan brushed away Sun Yi Jia’s hand, “What are you doing? What are you doing? Nicely talk, don’t start getting physical. Who did you learn from, randomly just pinching someone’s soft spots, how’s that appropriate?”

Sun Yi Jia let out a ‘pfft’, grabbing Jing Wan’s hand, even insisting on pinching Jing Wan’s cheek before finally letting go, “This cheek of yours, the sensation is just like my daughter’s.”

Great, turns out, the cause of this ‘touchiness’ was because of her child. When too tender and too soft, the sensation was good, thus developing this habit of wanting to touch!

Yuan Qiao Qiao’s line of sight landed on Jing Wan’s arm that was exposed outside, singlehandedly grabbing and pulling up her sleeve. On the snow white tender skin, red plum flower blossomed, “What’s this, what’s this?” That gaze was like having caught something big, feeling both excited and worked up.

Jing Wan was very speechless towards these two increasingly strange friends, “Having already married, yet don’t know what this is? Do you not have any on you?”

Yuan Qiao Qiao got choked by Jing Wan, letting out a cough, “There is some, but not as much as the ones on you.”

“Jin Qinwang, as expected, very much likes little sister Wan. Finally can rest assured.” Sun Yi Jia was like as if having married off her own daughter, having a bit of relief, yet also a bit of melancholy. This chapter is updated by _Fire

“You two sure are enough.” As expected, only unmarried girls were pure and innocent. Once married, all will become crude.

“Alright, alright, won’t tease you anymore. Quickly tell us about Jiangnan’s landscape.”

Compared with before, Jing Wan right now recounted in even more detail, and her attitude was also even more casual. After all, it was between people of the same age, and moreover, also her good friends. As the saying goes, the words that can’t be said to one’s elder, one can all say to one’s good friend, so the attitude was just completely different.

Concealing the matters that can’t be said, what Jing Wan said although wasn’t exciting and dramatic, the two of them still happily listened, inwardly yearning in their hearts.

“If you two want to go, it’s not very difficult either. For older cousin, needless to say, when your husband gets appointed to a post outside the capital, just go to Jiangnan. In any case, he’s not the eldest son, so you don’t need to stay behind to take care of your mother and father-in-law. And for third sister-in-law, it’s even easier, just directly let third brother take you and your daughter out. There’s still another year until the next metropolitan exam, so going out and traveling around for a year isn’t a problem either.”

“Easy for you to say.” Sun Yi Jia reached out again to pinch her face.

“Good girls don’t get physical.” Jing Wan glared at her.

“Then really sorry, your sister-in-law, I, is precisely a bad girl.” Sun Yi Jia smilingly continued to pinch.

What happened to the noble family young lady? This style changed too much. Have the former Sun Yi Jia returned at once.

“Things really aren’t that simple. The family wants to let husband stay in the capital, and gain some experience in the Hanlin Academy. I’m guessing father-in-law and them still want to let maternal grandfather help out, having husband’s rank slightly raised a little. Afterwards, whether or not he’ll be appointed outside the capital, still need to separately discuss. Moreover, mother-in-law still wants to hold a di grandson. The sister-in-law above me has already given birth to three children, all daughters. Although there is a shu-born boy, but because his birth mother isn’t liked by my mother-in-law, that child naturally isn’t liked either. I’ve only been married for two months, yet already starting to eye my stomach. I suppose, if unable to give birth to a son, then don’t even think about carefreely leaving.”

For Yuan Qiao Qiao, precisely because she was her mother’s sole daughter, how much her mother suffered for the sake of a son, she was very clear. However, regardless whether it was her father or her grandmother, they were all considered pretty good people, else the days really would be hard to live through, and she may not necessarily be as fortunate as her mother. That’s why, even if the people of her husband’s family don’t say anything, but to continuously eye her stomach, her also didn’t feel well inside.

These things, Yuan Qiao Qiao didn’t say out loud, but Yuan Qiao Qiao wasn’t good at controlling her emotions to begin with. Jing Wan and Sun Yi Jia both weren’t blind, and towards the capital magistrate family’s situation, Jing Wan may not be clear about, but Sun Yi Jia knew.

Every family had their difficulties. This was also something that can’t be helped. Moreover, since the other party was someone meticulously picked by eldest paternal aunt, then presumably not bad. Thus, Jing Wan didn’t continue asking anymore. “When you got married, you similarly didn’t tell me. The extra dowry for you, later, I’ll make up for it, and prepare a big one for you.”

“Aiyaa, then I won’t hold back. In any case, Wan Wan right now is super rich, so no matter how much you give me, all just pocket change.”

Clearly, Yuan Qiao Qiao didn’t understand too well Jing Wan’s main intention. However, this kind of trivial matter didn’t need to be bickered over either. As long as the people that should understand figure it out, it’ll be enough.

“Actually, the days right now are also very good. In the past, I never once dared to think of such days. As such, I’m very satisfied. Although towards the outside, I somewhat yearn, it’s not like I absolutely need to go. There’s still a year until the next metropolitan exam. It’s better for your third brother to stay in the capital to prepare for the exam. After all, there’s grandfather giving guidance. Additionally, your third brother also needs to spend a lot of time on painting, so this kind of arrangement is just right. If I want to go out and travel around, I can also wait until your third brother gets assigned to a post outside the capital.” That’s right, Sun Yi Jia wasn’t greedy. Towards the present, she very much cherished.

“Speaking of which, I previously painted some paintings. Later, you all can come to the qinwang manor, and also call up Ying Shuang. I’ll let you all have a look.”

The two of them naturally happily nodded.

“However, speaking of Ying Shuang, how is she lately?”

“Taking care of her fetus, counting the time, almost sixth months.”

Jing Wan softly smiled, “Returning after having been gone for half a year, what one encounters, seemingly all some happy matters.” If all happy matters, then things naturally can’t be better.

Speaking of children, the conversation inevitably returned onto Jing Wan. Just, before they could open their mouth…………….

“Wangfei, Miss Ying requests an audience.” A servant girl came to report.

“Miss Ying?” Jing Wan was confused. Where did this Miss Ying come from?

“Luo Si Ying, an orphan girl from the clan. Didn’t fourth younger sister pass away from illness in Rui Qinwang Manor? Third aunt, suffering the painful loss of her beloved daughter, just thought of adopting a girl from the clan to relieve her pain. Unexpectedly, in the clan, there really was such a girl, appearing exceptionally similar to fourth younger sister. If one were to say the two were twin sisters, people would all believe, and it just so happens that this girl didn’t have parents, relying on the clan to survive. Thus, third aunt just had the person brought back, raising by her side, changing her name to Si Ying.” Sun Yi Jia explained.

Jing Wan instantly understood. Third aunt, as expected, worried about Luo Jing Ying being outside, and just as predicted, used the most simple and most feasible method to have the person brought back to her side again.

For her to come see her, Jing Wan wasn’t surprised. In reality, among the prepared gifts, there was also Luo Jing Ying’s share.

“Invite her in.”

“Wangfei, that Miss Ying is very afraid of strangers, asking if you can please change locations?”

“What is the meaning of this? She, a commoner girl, coming on her own to meet with wangfei, yet want an esteemed qin-wangfei to change locations? How big is her face for her to be able to do this kind of thing?” Yuan Qiao Qiao somewhat angrily said.

Clearly, this was one that didn’t know the truth. However, this kind of thing involved upon the imperial family’s face, so if able to not know, it was best to not know. Even in this Head Minister of Appointments Manor, the ones that were aware of this matter were also very few.

“It’s not that big of a deal, perhaps this miss really is somewhat timid. I’ll just go have a look.” Presumably, it was Luo Jing Ying having something to say to her, but didn’t want others to know.

Seeing Jing Wan get up to leave, Yuan Qiao Qiao pouted, “Even if becoming a wangfei, Wan Wan is still like this.”

“Alright, since you already know, then what are you still grumbling about.” Sun Yi Jia’s thoughts were more or less the same as Jing Wan’s.

Inside Elegant Haitang Residence, in a place not far from the gates, there was a small pavilion. When Jing Wan arrived, Luo Jing Ying was already waiting there. Seeing Jing Wan, Luo Jing Ying got up, properly greeting her.

“No need to be this formal, have a seat.” Jing Wan studied her. Although still dressed as an unmarried girl, the changes truly were too big. As long as it was someone that didn’t know the truth, no matter how similar looking, all won’t have her and the former Luo Jing Ying viewed as the same person.

In the past, how bright and ostentatious she was, right now, was just how quiet and even indifferent she was. Moreover, she was somewhat dispirited, not having the slightest vitality and energy that someone at this age should have, appearing like a living dead.

Jing Wan inwardly sighed. Luo Jing Ying in the past was quite hateful, but her destructive power was also limited. Since she has already tried to commit suicide in front of her face once, then the past matters naturally can just be forgotten about and let bygones be bygones. Of course, the premise was that she won’t continue to cause trouble, otherwise there was no possibility of being forgiven again. “Fourth younger sister wants to meet me? Is something the matter?”

“This commoner although resembles wangfei’s fourth younger sister, one is unable to bear this address from wangfei.”

This is wanting to even have herself entirely denied? “Then, I’ll just call you Si Ying. If there’s something, you can directly say it.”

[1] Her current name Si Ying (思颖) means thinking of or missing Ying(颖), with Ying being the same character in Jing Ying. For outsiders that don’t know the actual situation, they would just think that it’s her mother giving her this name because she misses her ‘real’ daughter.

T/N: Happy New Years!! Although belated because I forgot to add this when updating yesterday. Despite the weird state of the world in 2020, I at least still managed to stay productive with updates. Counting from the latest translated chapter on patreon, this year I managed to translate chapter 145 to 380, which is around 425 posts in updates. Hoping that I can be just as productive in 2021 and finish translating this ! As long as life doesn’t throw a truck at me, I will continue to work hard translating this .
