Seeing Jin Wang’s pensiveness as he listened, she beca extrely anxious. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, covered her face and began to cry.
“Even though my elder brother isn’t soone outstanding and acts like he has no sha, he actually cares a lot about his face. He refuses to beg others for help. He would rather starve to death than ask for help… With his flamboyant temper, he offended many people, especially when he was young. Later, when he dropped out of his studies and began to work, people always mocked him for it and often gossiped about him. His eventual good-for-nothing behaviour had a lot to do with this…
“I haven’t seen him beg for help ever since I grew up. The last ti he begged for help … It was to take away, and this is the second ti. I also know that this sounds a little outrageous, but seeing him so haggard, with injuries on his body, as he ca over to the manor to beg for help, my heart aches as if it had been cut by a knife…”
There was no sound of movent from Jin Wang. Yaoniang couldn’t help but sneak a look at him from under the handkerchief. Seeing Jin Wang’s cold face, she hurriedly covered her face and continued crying even more sadly.
“Now that they have left Linyun County, he has completely changed. He changed a lot from his previous self, and even outsiders can tell he worked hard to improve himself. I genuinely don’t mind what kind of person he marries as long as she wins his heart, is good to the three children, and treats my parents well…”
Jin Wang pulled her over, “Is it such a big deal to make you cry so hard? “
As soon as Jin Wang said this, Yaoniang felt that this matter could be discussed. She pushed the boat along the way by leaning into his arms, lowering her head and wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Acting shy, she said, “I’m fine.”
“You’re crying like this and you’re still fine?” Jin Wang wanted to tilt her chin up to look at her, but she refused to raise her head. She buried deeper into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and asked in a low voice, “Then, do you agree Your Highness?” “
“How do you know that maid is good or bad and that you can rest assured she would be a good sister-in-law?”
“Since Your Highness picked her, she must be good.” If she had ulterior motives, she would have hooked up with her elder brother long ago. How would she be willing to redeem her freedom and go ho? Yaoniang clearly understood this much.
However, she was still a little worried, so she asked “What is that girl like?” “
Jin Wang rested his chin lightly on top of her head and looked at her aningfully. “She is a sensible person. According to Fucheng, your mother and your three nephews all like her very much.”
“Then Your Highness, do you agree?”
Jin Wang snorted.
Crying like this, how could he not agree?
She even dared to use this kind of thod on him. Wait and see how he would deal with her in the future! But as for now, forget it. After all…
Yaoniang originally thought she would have to concede more territory as compensation. How could she have expected that Jin Wang would agree so easily? She hugged Jin Wang’s neck and kissed him twice on the cheek in joy. “Your Highness, you’re so good to . I thought—”
Jin Wang naturally realized what she thought.
Jin Wang never believed in the idea of dignity being given by others, but rather it must be earned. If others were to say you’re successful, does that an you’re successful? If one has no skills, so what if they have a good father-in-law or good brother-in-law? Even if everything else was perfect, if one can’t hold up the wall, one simply can’t.
He humd, with a cold expression on his face.
“Then I’ll go and tell my elder brother,” said Yaoniang as she got off the kang.
Jin Wang pulled her back. “Don’t go. Let Fucheng go.”
Yaoniang imdiately understood what he ant and nodded.
Fucheng was ordered to go to work.
On this side, after being pleasantly surprised, Yaoniang started having a feeling that sothing was wrong. She felt that Jin Wang had agreed too readily, and it didn’t really seem like his usual character. She rembered that Jin Wang had once ntioned leaving the matter of changing her sister-in-law to him. Naturally, Yaoniang then recalled the day when Zhu-shi made a fuss and the people below reported that she was fighting a maid. Yaoniang suddenly rembered why she felt that the na Lancao was very familiar.
She suddenly had an epiphany.
After all, Jin Wang always completed matters according to his own will, and Yaoniang was too embarrassed to ask him openly. If she was wrong, it would’ve been for nothing and could even be a source of conflict between the two.
“By the way, Your Highness, who was the one to arrange for Lancao to work there?”
Jin Wang glanced at her, and said calmly, “Not sure. Why are you asking this?”
Yaoniang laughed. “I’m just curious and I wanted to know who was in charge of this matter, so I can thank them for matchmaking such a good pair.”
“When Fucheng cos back, ask Fucheng.”
Yaoniang felt that Jin Wang was very cunning, so she couldn’t help but say, “Oh, I finally rember why the na Lancao is so familiar!”
“Why?”
“Wasn’t it that day when Zhu-shi said there was a maid who seduced my older brother, causing a huge commotion in the manor? I rember that maid was called Lancao.”
“Really?”
“Yes, I heard it from Hong Chou. Isn’t it such a coincidence… Hold on, what are you doing…” Yaoniang realized that at so point, her hand had been placed sowhere it shouldn’t be and it was now being held to rub a certain spot.
Since it was the sumr, he was dressed in a thin layer. The material of his clothes was light, so what was being held under her hand was particularly obvious.
Yaoniang stared at her little hand under Jin Wang’s palm, and Jin Wang narrowed his eyes with a serious expression on his face. If one were to only look at his face, no one looked more serious than Jin Wang. With an air of aloof superiority, he appeared infallible, except for the fact that the corners of his eyes were a little red.
“It’s broad daylight. Do you have no sha?”
Jin Wang licked his lips as usual and glanced at her slowly. “You’re the one rubbing against . What do you an I have no sha?”
At this ti, there was a commotion in the yard. It was Xiaobao who ca back from the palace.
Xiaobao entered the yard and went straight to the main room.
Yaoniang hurriedly pushed Jin Wang away, straightened her hair and clothes, and sat upright.
“Mother, I’m back.” Before the person could even be seen, the voice sounded first. Seeing Jin Wang, Xiaobao hurriedly greeted him, “Father.”
Jin Wang, who was pushed to the side, sat up straight and nodded to his son. But his eyes glanced at Yaoniang inadvertently, and Yaoniang imdiately understood the look in his eyes- I will settle accounts with you at night.
Mini-theatre:
Fucheng: I’m the one always carrying the blackened pot. No need to thank .
Xiaobao: I didn’t an to think of anything bad. I also want a younger sister.
Erbao: If we have a younger sister, I’d also get to be the smart older brother.
Mian Mian: Brothers, wait! Once you’re older, you will have a younger sister, hehe…
