However, even if Jingwan knew about it, she would probably just pat Luo Jingbo's shoulder with a smile and say, "Third Brother, it's time to test you." Don't disappoint me.
Regardless of what would happen to Luo Jingbo in the future, the painting master gave him a comment after chatting with him: the younger generation will surpass us in time. Luo Jingbo hurriedly said that he was ashamed. Wasn't he ashamed? His little sister had also predicted that today's situation might occur. She had helped him think of many problems. Moreover, regarding the fine brushwork itself, she had also very carefully and comprehensively explained it to him. If he still couldn't pass the test and was seen through by others, he could probably use his death as an apology.
Luo Jingbo's situation was not bad. After today's step, things would probably be smoother and smoother in the future.
However, Sun Yijia's situation was not so smooth. How should she put it — —
Sun Yijia had been in contact with the most distinguished group of people in the Qi Yuan dynasty for more than ten years. In the past, she had a cold personality. However, because of Jingwan, she opened her heart and gradually came into contact with more people. However, this did not mean that she could easily accept anyone. The group of people she was in contact with now was completely different from her upbringing. As soon as she came into contact with them, Sun Yijia subconsciously wrapped herself up in a cold and arrogant manner. In her eyes, she was sick of their flattery and fawning. Moreover, their behavior was vulgar and their eyes were staring at her. If they were not looking at her jewelry, they were looking at her face.
In the eyes of these people, she was a disfigured woman who had married into the Luo family. Why should she pretend to be virtuous? Moreover, she was from a prestigious family. In order to gain a foothold in the Luo family, shouldn't she take the initiative to show filial piety to them? After several hints, she actually pretended not to understand. What was this?
Their upbringing, ideals, and pursuits were all different. They were people from two different worlds and could not get along.
Sun Yijia's face was cold. There was only one person like Sister Wan in this world.
At this time, she also realized that she had made a mistake in the past, a huge mistake. Of course, she wanted to pursue an ordinary life. However, how many families with the same upbringing as her could be accepted by her? The people present were probably all ordinary people, but what happened in the end? Sun Yijia felt a chill run down her spine. She was glad that she had met Jingwan and married into the Luo family. This was an ordinary yet extraordinary family. She had everything she wanted here, but it did not conflict with her past.
"Jingbo's family can go back first," Old Madam Luo said faintly after watching coldly from the sidelines.
Sun Yijia glanced at Old Madam Luo. She didn't seem to be angry with her, so she heaved a sigh of relief. "Yes, granddaughter-in-law will take her leave."
One of Madam Luo's maids sent Sun Yijia off. "Third Young Mistress, you don't have to take what happened today to heart. Madam Luo's purpose is to let you know what's going on. As for them, just give them some face. Some people, if you take them too seriously, they won't take you seriously."
Sun Yijia understood. "Thank you for your advice, Mother."
The maids smiled. "Third Young Mistress is Madam Luo's favorite, a treasure in her palm."
"Sister Wan deserves the best in the world," Sun Yijia said sincerely.
However, if Jingwan were to hear her words, she would probably roll her eyes. All of them had been brainwashed.
On the way back, Sun Yijia remembered that Old Madam Luo used to have a noble status, not much worse than her current status. At that time, although the Luo family had a strong foundation, they didn't have a strong background. At that time, no one in the Luo family supported her. The situation she encountered was probably much more difficult than Sun Yijia's current situation, but she resolutely walked to where she was today. She wasn't assimilated. She was still noble and dignified, and she still had the wisdom that had settled down for decades. She wasn't worse than her grandmother, but she was more benevolent and humane than her grandmother. Most importantly, she was much more fortunate than her grandmother. However, at that time, Old Madam Luo was only married to a scholar who came in third in the imperial examinations, while her grandmother was married to the powerful Duke Ding. None of the relatives in the Luo family dared to disrespect her. They even respected her from the bottom of their hearts.
Old Madam Luo taught Sun Yijia a good lesson in her own way.
Not long after, Jingwan also found out about Jingwan's request. However, in the end, it only caused a small ripple. Soon, peace was restored, and no one mentioned it again.
As for Jingwan's father, Luo Rongyan, just as he expected, after Luo Peishan sent the guest away, he called him to the front study. He didn't scold him, but just looked at him calmly. For the first time, Luo Rongyan realized that sometimes, calm was scarier than violent storms. His scalp was numb, his back was cold, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet. Instead of a sharp sword hanging over his head, it was better to stab him with a knife. "Father …"
"Whatever you brothers want to do, as long as it doesn't harm the Luo family, I won't force you to do it. You don't like officialdom. You like to be free and unrestrained. You want to be like a banished immortal. I'll let you do whatever you want. You used to spend all your time with your wife. Now, all you think about is your toys. You've never taught your children well. You've never thought about your children. Since that's the case, it's best that you don't care about them. "
Luo Peishan's words were not harsh, but for the first time, Luo Rongyan felt the deepest guilt. "Father …"
Luo Peishan waved his hand. "I don't want to hear what you have to say. Among the four of you brothers, you're the best in all aspects, but you don't want to be an official. Your eldest brother is only at the fourth rank of the secondary class. Even if I retire, he won't be able to climb to the third rank in his lifetime. However, the current situation is special. It's not a good time for him to go further. Besides, you're just brothers. Without me, no matter how high he climbs, the honor and glory will belong to his wife and son. How good can your children get? Now, in the eyes of those people, the third girl is a piece of delicious fat meat. Everyone wants to eat her. If you, as her father, can be a little more reliable and give her something to rely on, she won't have to wait for others to make a decision. "
Luo Rongyan's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
"I've been working hard to keep our family in a neutral position in this fight for the throne, but it's very difficult to do. Even if Jingbo's wife doesn't marry into the family, the Luo family will be involved in the quagmire sooner or later. No matter how unimportant the position of Minister is, it's still the head of a department. Now, on the surface, we're on the side of the Empress and Prince Kang. Noble Consort Su and Prince Rui won't let it go. They'll definitely think of ways to pull the third girl into their hands. If something goes wrong, the third girl may be destroyed by them. " Those in power all have the same idea. They can't let an important chess piece fall into the hands of others. The best way is to make it disappear completely.
Luo Rongyan took a breath and clenched his fists. He didn't pay attention to it and didn't expect that his daughter had been in such a dangerous situation. "Father, what should we do now?"
Luo Peishan glanced at him as if to say, "You? What can you do? "
At this moment, Luo Rongyan's handsome face turned red.
"If Min Geer didn't have that accident, it wouldn't have been like this. Otherwise, if the accident happened before Great Elder Princess' birthday, the third girl wouldn't have been in the limelight. In the final analysis, it's God's will. "Luo Peishan sighed. "Tell me, what do you think? Even if you're not an official, you're not a blockhead in this aspect."
As his father, Luo Rongyan was not polite at all today. Even if he was choked, he could only endure it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Either we completely side with the Empress and Prince Kang, or we stand on the side of Noble Consort Su and Prince Rui. We'll continue to be neutral."
What he said was equivalent to not saying anything. However, those people would not give them a third choice.
"So, what's the specific choice?"
"Father, do you prioritize the Luo Family or Wan Wan?"
"I'm asking you." Luo Peishan suddenly roared very angrily.
This was the key to the problem. Whether it was the Empress or Noble Consort Su, in order to show enough sincerity and let them take the initiative, Luo Peishan could basically guess who would be chosen by marriage. From Jingwan's point of view, in the case of having no choice, it was best to choose the one who was the best for Jingwan. And this person, except for Sun Yilin, was the only one who was the best for Jingwan. However, Luo Peishan was not optimistic about Prince Kang's ascension to the throne. In the future, if other people ascended the throne, those who were on Prince Kang's side would definitely be purged. The Luo Family would inevitably suffer, and Ding General Manor would probably be destroyed. Naturally, Wan Wan would also suffer.
— Prioritizing the Luo Family? Prioritizing Jingwan? Looking at the present or the future?
In fact, if it were other families, this would not be a problem at all. There was no need to even think about it. Could a girl be more important than the family? However, Jingwan was different to them. They truly doted on her like she was the apple of their eye. Furthermore, Jingwan's usual cleverness made their hearts ache uncontrollably. They clearly knew that she would not be happy after marrying that person, yet they could still helplessly watch her fall into the fire pit?
The angry Luo Peishan frightened Luo Rongyan. He had never seen such a father. Was his daughter so important in his heart that she could be compared with the entire Luo Family? Luo Rongyan had always thought that his father was actually a qualified scholar-official. At this moment, he knew that he was not. In the heart of a qualified scholar-official, the family would always be the first. Everything else could be abandoned. Even the most precious thing he cared about, he would be willing to give it up without hesitation.
Luo Peishan originally just kept it in the bottom of his heart as if nothing had happened. But once he spread it out, he felt powerless and tired. "You can go back. I need to think about it."
"Your son will take his leave." Luo Rongyan walked out of the door and looked back at his father who seemed to be in the shadows. It turned out that not only was he not a good father, but he was also not a good son. His daughter was standing at the edge of the fire pit, his father was anxiously pacing back and forth, and he could only watch with folded arms, unable to help at all. What's more, before this, he was very leisurely and did not notice at all.
When Jingwan was trimming the flower branches to make a vase, she accidentally pricked her hand by a thorn. A dark red blood bead quickly appeared. Jingwan paused. She was obviously very careful. How could she prick her hand?
"Ah, it's bleeding. Mama, Wan Wan pricked her hand. Quickly bring the medicine. "Yuan Qiaoqiao hurriedly said.
"It's okay. Don't make a fuss." Jingwan pressed her thumb and crushed the blood bead. The blood bead condensed again.
Mama Gong, who had already been alarmed, naturally would not ignore it.
This day, as usual, passed peacefully. The guests of the Luo Family also left one after another. However, Yuan Qiaoqiao "shamelessly" insisted on staying. Her mother could not do anything about it, and Madame Luo also happily agreed to let her stay. Therefore, Yuan Qiaoqiao openly stayed at the Begonia House. Mama Gong directly asked the servants to prepare a room for her. A certain someone, who originally wanted to continue squeezing into Jingwan's bed, was too embarrassed to mention it.
The next morning, after Jingwan got up and was about to do morning exercises, her grandmother sent someone to call her to the main courtyard.
What was it that needed to be done so early? At this time, her grandfather had not gone to the morning court. Jingwan paused. Her grandfather was looking for her.
Sure enough, Jingwan went to the main courtyard. Her grandfather and grandmother were sitting together waiting for her. There was no one to serve her. However, there were some bruises under her grandfather's eyes, and her grandmother's spirit was not good. They did not rest well.
Jingwan greeted them. "Grandfather, what is so important?" She asked curiously.
"Girl, what do you think of Sun Yilin?"
Jingwan lowered her head slightly and remained silent.
"Wan Wan, you understand what your grandfather means, right?" Madame Luo said.
Of course, she understood. Even Jingwan, who had not cried much when she was a baby, could not help but tear up. She hurriedly wiped her tears with a brocade handkerchief. Seeing her tears, Madame Luo instinctively wanted to comfort her. However, Luo Peishan reached out to hold her and shook his head slightly.
Jingwan calmed down and said, "Grandfather, you don't have to go to this extent for me. I'm fine."
"It seems that you understand everything. So, how can it be that you're really fine? Even if you really think it's fine, your grandmother and I will be distressed. "
"But, gambling with the Luo Family and messing up your plan in exchange for a better outcome for my granddaughter is not worth it. Besides, if uncle and the others know about it, they will hate me to death. "
Luo Peishan laughed. "You know about your grandfather's plan?"
"As a subject, it is very difficult to be independent in the fight for the throne. You have to be prepared."
"Wan Wan, how would you know that grandfather did not choose Prince Kang in his plan?"
"From the perspective of the Qi Yuan Dynasty, Prince Rui is more suitable for that position. Judging from the current situation, Prince Rui has a better chance of winning." In front of the two of them, Jingwan did not hide anything.
Prince Rui just has a better chance of winning, but he is still far from being able to settle the situation. Otherwise, there would not be so many people standing on Prince Kang's side. Therefore, putting all the chips on Prince Kang will only reduce the chance of winning temporarily. You may not lose. So, girl, you don't have to blame yourself. I made this decision after careful consideration. If Prince Kang really has no chance of winning, I'm afraid I can only give up on you. "
Having said that, Jingwan was still very grateful to Luo Peishan. If it were someone else, they would definitely choose the most advantageous path.
"But, girl, do you think that Prince Rui will win?" After Mengmeng came to the capital, she read a lot of court newspapers, but she did not express any opinions. However, even so, she should be aware of the situation.
"Rationally, yes, but …"
"But what?" Luo Peishan asked curiously.
"I feel that Prince Rui will not be the final winner."
Luo Peishan became interested. "So, Wan Wan thinks that Prince Kang will have the last laugh?"
Jingwan shook her head. "I don't know." Feeling was a mysterious thing. Besides, Jingwan had never relied on her feelings to confirm anything. Who knew why this feeling came inexplicably this time?
"In that case, Wan Wan, just say that Sun Yilin is better. Now we still have a choice."
Jingwan frowned. "Grandfather, isn't it too early to make a decision now?"
"Girl, you know that the sooner this matter is settled, the better for you." After all, she was a girl. If she was always criticized by others, her reputation would not be good. Moreover, once he was engaged, as the fiancé, he had to protect his fiancée. In this way, he could minimize the potential threat as much as possible.
"But, if we take the initiative to choose now and passively accept it later, it's two different things. The former will make Prince Rui target our Luo family. The latter will only target Prince Kang. " It was definitely not a good thing to be hated by a powerful prince. Jingwan did not want the Luo family to be in the teeth of the storm.
"This matter can't be settled in a day or two. My goal is to speed up this matter. Don't worry, girl, I will find a way to get myself out of it as much as possible. "
Jingwan was silent for a moment. "My third sister-in-law is coming back today. Let her tell Young Master Sun."
"Huh?" Luo Peishan did not understand what she meant.
"Young Master Sun likes me." Jingwan said lightly.
Not to mention Luo Peishan, even Madame Luo was surprised. "What do you mean?"
"He said it himself. Although it's not kind to let him take all the responsibility at this time, it's better for him to take all the risks than to let Grandfather do it. After all, he is on Prince Kang's side. He has Ding General Manor and the Empress behind him, and even everyone on Prince Kang's side. Prince Rui can't do anything to him. "What she owed him now, she would pay him back in the future.
"Well, that brat actually ran to you and said those words. Where's his gentlemanly manners? Since that's the case, let him take all the responsibility. " Luo Peishan was very unhappy. Previously, he thought that his good granddaughter was taken away by that brat Chen Zhengmin. In fact, there was a wolf cub eyeing her covetously. Now, he wanted to send his good granddaughter to the wolf cub's mouth. Did he want to eat for free without doing anything? Dream on! If he didn't do it well this time, he would kill him!
Li Ruyu did something stupid. In a sense, he did not wrongly accuse the third girl.
However, between Sun Yilin, who might be her future husband, and him, her grandfather, his good granddaughter chose him. Regarding this, Luo Peishan felt very happy.
Jingwan originally felt very guilty about "using" Sun Yilin, but when she saw her grandfather's matter-of-fact attitude, she was quite speechless. However, what did she say to Sun Yijia at that time? She didn't want to be involved in the quagmire of Ding General Manor. Now, she was the one who jumped in. How ironic.
