Chapter 196.1: Emotionally Moved, Long Ti No See
Generally speaking, no one would co to report the good news before having a definite diagnosis. Although the one receiving this good news is the maiden family, for married daughters, after getting pregnant in the husband’s ho, informing the maiden family first thing was for the sake of letting the maiden family be at ease. If it was just ordinary in-laws relation, as the maiden family, they naturally would be happy that their own child is able to even better establish themselves in the husband’s family. And for those in a political marriage, the currently developing little life will also make this kind of relationship to be even more firm, and precisely because of this, need to have a reliable assurance. As such, although they wouldn’t go as far as to wait until the third month when the fetus stabilizes, they at least need a clear diagnosis before reporting the good news, or perhaps because of so special circumstances, as the married lady, need the maiden family to help invite the doctor, and thus would inform those that she trusted, handling the matter in secret.
If reported too soon, yet in the end, it was all a mistake, then it’ll just make people feel very unpleasant.
Obviously, Luo Jing Ying’s situation didn’t belong to any of the above scenarios.
When it cos to handling things, Li Hong Ming has always been orderly, and naturally won’t make this kind of mistake. Then, one can be certain, Luo Jing Ying really was pregnant. There isn’t a single doctor that’s able to confirm a girl is pregnant within a month. For Li Hong Ming to dare let soone co at this ti, one of the reason was knowing that the Luo family also knew the truth, and secondly, he really anxious and unable to keep waiting.
It has already been a month since Luo Jing Ying entered his rear court, yet Luo Pei Shan didn’t have the slightest movent. Because she was a concubine, the maiden family couldn’t do anything publicly in the open, but secretly thinking of ways to send things in and ask about the situation were all very normal. Out of ten families, approximately nine would all be this way. And under normal circumstances, as the main wife, towards concubines that have a family background, they would all turn a blind eye and won’t aggressively interfere. But the Luo family’s attitude was practically just like this person didn’t exist. No matter how he thought about it, it all didn’t feel right. For Li Hong Ming, it wasn’t needing to instruct his wangfei to not trouble the people from the Luo family, but rather asking whether or not the Luo family ca to visit.
In the very beginning, Li Hong Ming already faintly detected from Luo Jing Ying’s attitude the truth of the situation, but the reality seemingly was even worse than he’d imagined. This however was what Li Hong Ming didn’t want to see the most. This already wasn’t the problem of whether or not his concubine was liked by her maiden family. In a certain sense, this directly reflected the Luo family’s attitude, or more precisely Luo Pei Shan’s attitude towards him. If he was optimistic about him, and as long as he had that bit of intention to assist him, then even if it was just a small cat or dog sent into his manor, he would still use this to pull in the relationship. But if it’s the opposite, then even if he had his most beloved granddaughter sched into his hands, he most likely will still be able to endure the pain and abandon her.
Because of these anxious thoughts, Li Hong Ming, after confirming that Luo Jing Ying was already pregnant, just impatiently ca looking. If not for the sake of blocking the nurous gossiping mouths and thoroughly offending the Luo family, then half a month ago, when Luo Jing Ying first showed signs of pregnancy, he would’ve already taken action. This purpose of his was nothing more than his unwillingness to give up, wanting to confirm one last ti whether or not everything really was the sa as he thought. If not, it was naturally the best, but if it is…………
“Whether or not she has good fortune, this old one doesn’t know. This old one only learned just now that the girl from our family that was lifted into Rui Qinwang Manor also followed along over to the imperial sumr residence. During this trip, in addition to the few days after arriving, Rui Qinwang has seen our old master almost every other day, in fact, even this old one t Rui Qinwang once, yet never once heard him ntion anything.”
Luo Old Madam calmly narrated a fact, but Liu mama’s heart wasn’t calm at all. The Luo family actually didn’t even know this? Didn’t Concubine Ying say that she’d sent soone to inform already? Was it the person she sent just paying lip service, or was it that she really didn’t send anyone?
“This matter, Rui Qinwang actually ntioned to once, but I forgot, so didn’t tell you.” Luo Pei Shan explained.
Luo Old Madam plainly responded, and afterwards…………there just wasn’t an afterwards.
Liu mama saw that the Luo family had the intention of directly sending the guest away, not even preparing to send soone to bring so things or go have a look. In fact, they didn’t even ask a single question, let alone personally going to look. Moreover, one could tell from that expression of theirs, that wasn’t an act, but really not having the slightest concern at all.
Liu mama’s first impression towards Luo Jing Ying was still considered pretty good, but not long after entering the manor, Luo Jing Ying’s true nature was just exposed out in the open, and because she still had use, it was inevitable for Li Hong Ming to be a bit more indulgent towards her. Precisely because of this, Luo Jing Ying’s airs were put on higher than anyone else’s. Although in front of the wangfei, she still forcibly managed to retain her etiquette, but what kind of person was Liu mama, how would she not be able to see how much Luo Jing Ying hated that the wangfei was pressing on top her head. Sotis, that gaze of hers was just like hating that she can’t go forward and single-handedly have the wangfei strangled to death, and afterwards, take her place.
This kind of her, Liu mama naturally looked down on greatly, but even if she didn’t know the specifics, she still knew that Luo Jing Ying ca from the Head Minister of Appointnts Manor, and towards wangye, had great use. Moreover, wangfei also didn’t say anything, so she naturally couldn’t say anything either.
However, as ti passed day by day, she naturally also noticed sothing wrong. This Concubine Ying’s place in her maiden family afraid was a bit…………And wangye’s patience towards Concubine Ying was also wearing down day by day. However, at this ti, they discovered that Concubine Ying was pregnant. Originally because Li Hong Ming had very few children, until now still not having a son, Liu mama was very happy, but calculating the ti, she just knew when Luo Jing Ying had gotten pregnant. This was before entering the manor. Although she believed, Luo Jing Ying won’t do sothing against wangye, this still shrouded her pure delight with a layer of haze.
However, for the sake of wangye, she was still very much willing to co to the Luo family. However, the outco she obtained was practically just like getting splashed in the face with a basin of cold water. How was this just bad, this was practically just having the na, but no different from that of soone who has been expelled from the clan.
Liu mama was sowhat stiff, summoning the courage to open her mouth, “Sir Luo, Luo Old Madam, Concubine Ying is still young, and this is also her first pregnancy, so it’s unavoidable for her to be sowhat scared. If her family can go see her, and accompany her for a little while, perhaps it’ll be a lot better. Moreover, Concubine Ying also truly misses you all. Why don’t you all…….speaking of which, this matter, afraid won’t be allowed in other families, and it’s just our wangye that’s magnanimous……….”
“Rui Qinwang may be magnanimous, but we can’t just not abide by the rules. A concubine’s maiden family can’t even be considered relatives.” Luo Old Madam faintly interrupted her.
Liu mama wanted to slap her own mouth. Because in her eyes, it was naturally their own wangye that was the best in everything and the most esteed, and as the subjects, they all needed to respect him, obeying whatever he says, acting according to his will. As such, what originally was suppose to be ‘asking for a favor’, as she spoke, just unconsciously turned into a great honor bestowed upon them. And Luo Old Madam just effortlessly had her words retorted back, truly getting choked quite seriously. “These words of Luo Old Madam’s are quite modest. That was talking about other families, how can your esteed family be the sa as them?”
“These words, do you dare to say in front of Cabinet Minister Liu’s face?” Luo Old Madam said in a gentle tone, but those words weren’t the least bit polite.
(T/N: Cabinet Minister Liu is Rui Wangfei’s father.)
Liu mama was left speechless. Her goal was very simple. Regardless how their relationship with Concubine Ying was, as long as the people from the Luo family go see her, letting outsiders learn that the Luo family entered wangye’s place, it would be enough. However, it was clear that the Luo family really didn’t want to give any face at all, and towards Concubine Ying, they weren’t the least bit concern, so naturally won’t care what kind of days she will have without the maiden family’s backing.
Jing Wan led people along, returning with the noodle, but to her surprise, her elder sister-in-law had left, and there was even an outsider present.
She originally wanted to personally have the noodle handed to Li Hong Yuan, but with soone irrelevant present, she in the end didn’t do this kind of inappropriate act.
Li Hong Yuan naturally could tell what Jing Wan’s intentions were. He couldn’t bear letting her cook, but just handing sothing over, this kind of rather intimate act, he naturally was very willing. Thus, towards the person disrupting the matter, he naturally didn’t have the slightest good face. As a result, his gaze towards Liu mama was sowhat cold. When he wanted to target a person, that imposing manner was truly too scary.
Liu mama’s calves were sowhat trembling, nearly collapsing onto the ground.
Jing Wan glanced at her from the side, sizing her up, but really wasn’t that curious. However, it was clear, right now, it wasn’t appropriate for her to continue staying. Thus, she curtsied, preparing to withdraw, but before she could open her mouth……………….
