Sun Yijia's attention was on the flowers and trees in the courtyard, while everyone else's attention was on her. Naturally, they did not notice Jingwan's arrival.
Jingwan stepped on a small branch beside her foot. Although the sound was soft, because the courtyard was quiet enough, almost everyone heard it and subconsciously turned their heads.
Sun Yijia's dull eyes lit up. She opened her mouth to call out to her, but just as she opened her mouth, she subconsciously covered her face and let out a soft hiss. Her beautiful brows furrowed and she pursed her lips. Obviously, because she suddenly opened her mouth, she had pulled on her wound. But other than that, she did not have any other emotions and waved at Jingwan.
The moment Sun Yilin saw Jingwan, his gloomy eyes finally lit up. It seemed that other than some minor injuries, she was actually considered to be unharmed. He was happy from the bottom of his heart. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Jingwan squat down as a greeting and then walked into the room.
Sun Yilin looked at his sister again. Indeed, she was standing up and walking back into the room.
"Miss Luo …" Sun Yilin called out to her.
Jingwan stopped in her tracks and looked at him. "Is something the matter, Young Master Sun?"
"Although Yijia and you have only known each other for a short period of time, in fact, I have never seen her so close to any other girl. Even if it was her own sister, to her, it was only on the surface. In reality, she was like a complete stranger. She is like a real sister to you. Now that she has met with such a disaster, in the future … I hope that Miss Luo can console her."
"Sister Yijia treats me with sincerity, so I will naturally treat her with sincerity. You want the best for her, and I am no exception. Thus, there is no need for Young Master to say anything more. I will do my best."
Sun Yilin nodded and did not say anything else.
Jingwan walked straight into the room. Sun Yijia sat by the table and gestured for her to sit.
Jingwan didn't care about etiquette or rules. She didn't even try to avoid it. She just looked straight at her face. For people who didn't know her well, this was indeed very rude. However, if people who were close to her blindly avoided it, that kind of subtle and deliberate indifference would be even more uncomfortable. Half of her face was covered by a white cloth, and a thin white thread wrapped around the top of her head and chin. The white thread was handled very carefully, and it covered up as much as possible. This was also the reason why Jingwan didn't see any obvious marks on the other side.
Sun Yijia reached out and pulled her to sit down. She then waved her hand at the people serving her, indicating for them to leave.
Jingwan understood that she wanted to talk to him alone, so he asked his men to leave.
After all, Sun Yijia's wet nurse was still worried. Before she left, she couldn't help but say a few words, "It's not suitable for Miss Luo to speak for the time being. So, Miss Luo …"
Sun Yijia reached out to stop her. It was obvious that she didn't want to listen to the nagging of the people around her. From the moment she was rescued, there had been chaos around her. First, they cried helplessly. Then, they felt sorry for her and cursed the heavens and the earth. They repeatedly said what she should do in the future. Seeing that she was expressionless, they began to persuade her. They talked about her identity and how she was doted on at home. Not only Duchess Ding, but also the Old Madame and the Empress also liked her the most. Even if her face was hurt and disfigured, she would definitely have a good marriage. In the future, her husband's family would definitely not dare to treat her badly.
Sun Yijia wasn't stupid. How could she not know what it meant to be disfigured? So what if they talked about it? Some things were already destined when the sharp stone cut her face. She didn't respond. Everyone thought that she was disheartened and depressed. In fact, that wasn't the case. Her tolerance wasn't that bad. On the contrary, her heart was almost strangely calm. She actually wanted to tell them that she was fine, but she knew that no one would believe her, including her fifth brother. Thus, she chose to remain silent. This kind of silence made the people around her feel more and more sorry for her. They even sympathized with her, forming a vicious cycle.
In the end, under her cold gaze, everyone finally shut their mouths. However, everyone's silence was equally unbearable.
Jingwan's arrival was her savior.
"Sister Jia, are you okay?" Jingwan believed that she was good at judging people when she made a mistake. She always felt that Sun Yijia didn't seem to care about her disfigurement. Perhaps it was because she was too concerned, or perhaps it was a deep-rooted belief that a girl wouldn't care about her appearance. That was why the people around her were so nervous and careful. They didn't sense Sun Yijia's true feelings at all. However, Jingwan wasn't very sure, so she asked directly.
Sun Yijia nodded without hesitation. Apart from the pain on her face and the bruises on her body, she was no different from usual.
Jingwan heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good."
Sun Yijia narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled. She took out the four treasures of the study from her room. After grinding them, she began to write. "It's great that you're fine. — — I knew Sister Wan was different from others. You believed whatever I said and didn't think that I was pretending to be strong to comfort you.
"There's no need to lie about such things. If you really lost something you cared about, no matter if you threw a tantrum or stayed silent because you were sad, there's nothing to blame you for. You don't have to suffer and suppress yourself for the sake of accommodating others. Others should be tolerant and understanding of you."
Sun Yijia nodded and wrote again. "As expected, Sister Wan knows me best." As she wrote, she sighed silently. "It's been more than ten years. Why can't I compare to the few times we met?"
"It's probably 'the so-called bosom friend'."
Sun Yijia was stunned. "Yeah, isn't it 'the so-called bosom friend'? True bosom friends aren't the people closest to you."
After seeing Sun Yijia's state, Jingwan went straight to the point and went straight to the heart of the matter. "Sister Jia, what are you going to do in the future?"
"Sister Wan, when you harden your heart, you're really hurtful. The scar hasn't even formed a scab yet, but you're ruthlessly tearing it open again. You just have to face the cruelest reality."
"I just believe that Sister Jia isn't someone who would run away."
Sun Yijia looked at Jingwan's clear eyes that were filled with sincerity. She cared about her from the bottom of her heart. She cared only about her as a person, and not about the things that were attached to her. "Sister Wan, do you know? My face shouldn't have been injured so badly. I did it on purpose. When I touched that sharp stone, I subconsciously tilted my head. I wasn't sure if I could avoid it if I tilted my head in the other direction, or if my face wouldn't be injured. At that time, my only thought was that if my face was gone, my value would also be gone. They wouldn't have to deliberately think about how to use me in exchange for the greatest benefits. "
Jingwan looked at the words on the paper. She reached out and rubbed it before throwing it into the incense burner.
Sun Yijia took out another piece of paper. "Sister Wan, aren't you being too cautious?"
Jingwan didn't say anything. Instead, she took the brush and wrote. "Who am I doing this for? If someone else saw this and your parents heard about it, would you have a good life? "
"I didn't expect Sister Wan's handwriting to be so good."
Jingwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Is this the time to talk about this?"
"I already don't have a good life. How bad can it be?" She knew very well how the people in her family would react. The only people who truly cared about her were probably only a few — Wu Ge, her grandmother, her wet nurse, or the two maids who grew up with her. Even her mother, for herself, for her children and grandchildren, would still give her up even if she was her only daughter. The only thing that was better than the others was that they probably wouldn't humiliate her. If they still had a little bit of kinship and a little bit of conscience, they might marry her to a man who was barely passable, instead of purely making use of trash and squeezing out the last bit of value she had.
"Is it worth it?" Was it worth it to go to such an extent and fall into the dust just to escape the fate of being controlled by her family, or to fight for a bit of pride?
"What if I say it's worth it?"
Jingwan nodded. "Then it's worth it."
"Sister Wan, you're so good." This kind of behavior clearly deserved a harsh reprimand. She was rebellious, she didn't know what was good for her, she didn't know how to appreciate her good fortune. Her fifth brother wouldn't approve of this behavior, but Jingwan, if she said it was worth it, she would stand on her side without hesitation.
"You have to finish the path you chose even if you have to kneel. It's good that you don't regret it."
"Sister Wan, are you worried that I can't endure hardship? Actually, the situation is far from the worst. Wu Ge will always protect me, and Grandmother won't ignore me. There will be more people who will mock and ridicule me if I don't have enough food and clothes. There will be fewer people who will order me around, and there will be more unruly servants. That's all. However, I'm afraid that in order to protect me, he will be threatened into making compromises. After all, he's a close official of the Emperor and has an advantage over others in many things. "
"He's a man, and his talent isn't bad. Even if there are some troublesome matters, he can find a way to deal with it himself. Moreover, a man needs to know when to yield and when to stand tall. It's not a bad thing to use these things as training. When he can easily deal with the schemes of his family, why should he be afraid of those outside? Moreover, you're his biological sister. It's only right for him to protect you and do things for you. Since you're related by blood in this life, since your relationship is harmonious, you should cherish it and protect it. "
"Sister Wan, what you mean is that I don't need to feel guilty if he makes compromises and forgives for me. On the contrary, I can order him around as much as I want. If he helps me, that's what he should do. If he doesn't, then he's incompetent, right? That's what you mean, right? " Sun Yijia looked at her with sparkling eyes like a child's. She was a little excited as if she had discovered something incredible and was waiting for her approval. In the words of her previous life, she was "asking for praise."
Jingwan felt helpless again. The more she interacted with Sun Yijia, the more she felt that she was seriously inconsistent with the rumors. She looked arrogant on the outside but was actually very rebellious on the inside. She was also a little naughty. In the past, perhaps she had been hiding it so well that even she didn't realize it. Jingwan wasn't sure if she had revealed this side of her. If she had, then she had really sinned. She knew that Sun Yijia was deliberately misinterpreting her words. Looking at her little expression and the wound on her face, she looked pitiful. Jingwan braced herself and nodded. "You can understand it that way."
Seeing her squinting her eyes like a little fox, Jingwan silently mourned for Sun Yilin in her heart. If he was tricked by her sister in the future, please don't blame it on her.
Since Sun Yijia was prepared to face the future, Jingwan didn't say anything more. It was meaningless.
Jingwan looked at her face again. "In the future, don't do this kind of thing again." It wasn't good to hurt oneself to achieve one's goal.
"This time, it was just a coincidence. I just made the disaster that I couldn't avoid more serious. I never thought of doing it on purpose."
"Sister Jia, it's good that you know."
"Sister Wan, are you worried that I will do something extreme if I encounter something in the future? No, just like what you told me before, 'It's okay to cry occasionally, but you have to find the right person to cry to. You have to cry to the person who cares about you.' It's the same principle. If you lose your value, even if you die, some people may not shed a single tear. "
"Young Miss, Duchess Ding is here." Suddenly, Mama Gong's voice sounded from outside.
Sun Yijia was stunned. Although she knew that someone would come, she didn't expect her mother to come in person. In Sun Yijia's opinion, the most likely person to come was her sister-in-law.
Taking advantage of the time, Jingwan quickly put away all the used papers on the table. She didn't hide them and just casually covered them with white paper. She would take them away later. She calmly drank tea and ate her tea. She didn't feel guilty or flustered at all because she had done something "bad."
Sun Yijia felt ashamed of herself for being inferior to her calmness.
After that, the people who were chased out by Sun Yijia came in one after another. If the madam came and saw that all the servants were outside, she would definitely be at the front.
Then, a large group of people came in. Sun Yijia suddenly felt that she was overthinking. She originally thought that her mother actually cared about her daughter very much, but in fact, that wasn't the case. Her sisters-in-law were all here. What was going on? Were they here to laugh at her? Even if these so-called sisters-in-law wanted to come in the name of caring for her sister-in-law, as long as her mother's attitude was firm, she could completely refuse them. Her sisters-in-law didn't have the guts to disobey her mother.
"Oh my, did our Sister Jia really hurt her face? What should we do? " A young woman who was dressed very solemnly and gorgeously was the first to enter the room. Her tone and expression were unmistakably concerned, but the gloating in her eyes was too obvious. She poked Sun Yijia's face with her long fingernails.
Sun Yijia evaded her with an expressionless face and looked coldly at her fourth sister-in-law.
Obviously, Sun Yijia was still "high and mighty" and "arrogant" even though her face was disfigured. This made the young woman furious. She lowered her voice and said, "Sister-in-law, I'd like to see how long Sister Jia, who has turned into an ugly monster, can remain arrogant."
"Fourth Sister-in-law, Mother is here." It's your turn to walk in front. A group of people came in later, and another woman behind Duchess Ding spoke up.
"Oh, Mother, don't be angry. Your daughter-in-law was just worried about Sister Jia for a moment. I definitely didn't …"
"Enough." Duchess Ding waved her hand impatiently and then her gaze fell on Sun Yijia. She looked at her face. Although there was concern and worry, it was very limited. There were more complicated expressions mixed with all kinds of emotions.
Sun Yijia greeted her with a cold expression, just like how she usually greeted her mother.
Duchess Ding's lips moved, but there were some words that she didn't say out loud. Before she came, she had already had a fierce argument with Duchess Ding about her. In the end, she compromised. "Since you're injured, take good care of yourself. Don't think so much."
Duchess Ding was about to ask Sun Yijia's wet nurse about the specific condition of the injury on her face and whether it was really impossible for her to recover. However, she inadvertently found that there was an outsider here. Seeing that there was a white cloth wrapped around her neck, she was one of the girls who had an accident. "Which family are you from?" Although Jingwan had been to Duke Ding's Mansion, the only person who had an impression of her was Sun Yijia's eldest sister-in-law. She was usually smooth and slick, but at this time, she chose to remain silent.
"Jingwan of the Luo family greets Duchess Ding."
When everyone heard this, the expressions on their faces were a little subtle. Duchess Ding's eyes were even a little unfriendly.
"You're the one who asked Big Sister Jia to come out? Why is Big Sister Jia's face hurt? Why are you standing there? Oh, by the way, it seems that you fell into the river below. You're really lucky and tough. " That pair of beautiful eyes now had an irritating look of scrutiny. She looked at Jingwan as if she was looking at something strange.
Jingwan knew very well that there was definitely more than one person who had similar thoughts. It was nothing more than venting their anger and giving them a target to vent their anger. However, Jingwan's good temper was also relatively speaking. If you treated her with courtesy, she would naturally treat you equally. Jingwan glanced at the others. There were many people who wanted to watch a good show, including Duchess Ding, who looked indifferent. However, Sun Yijia's face was a little ugly, and anger appeared in her eyes. Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Jingwan spoke first, "May I ask if you're speaking on behalf of Duke Ding's Mansion or yourself?"
The other party was stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect Jingwan to react like this. "So what if I'm speaking on behalf of Duke Ding's Mansion? So what if I'm speaking on behalf of myself?" Her expression became contemptuous. In her opinion, there was no difference between the two.
Duchess Ding frowned slightly and looked at Jingwan with her eyes wide open. She suddenly felt a sharp spirit from this indifference.
"If I'm speaking on behalf of Duke Ding's Mansion, then I'll take some time to go to Duke Ding's Mansion and ask your old madam if the rules of your family are different from those of other families. How can you be so presumptuous and rude?" When she said this, her eyes were still very calm as she looked at Duchess Ding calmly.
In the entire Duke Ding's Mansion, the person with the highest status was Old Madam Sun. It was normal to directly ignore Duchess Ding.
Not to mention Duchess Ding, the faces of the large group of people who had just come in became a little ugly. This slap didn't just land on one person's face.
Sun Yijia's fourth sister-in-law's face was the ugliest. She secretly glanced at Duchess Ding's face. She wanted to use this mother-in-law to teach this b * tch who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth a lesson. However, if this matter was implemented, she would be stripped alive. "Of course, I'm speaking on behalf of myself. So what?"
"Oh, on behalf of yourself?" Jingwan answered in a low voice with a little carelessness. She brushed the cuff of her right hand with her left hand and looked down at her palm.
Her intention to hit someone was so obvious that the woman subconsciously took a step back. "Slap …" A crisp sound shocked everyone.
The woman covered her face and tilted her head to look at Sun Yijia in disbelief. Yes, it was not Jingwan who hit her, but Sun Yijia. The woman subconsciously raised her hand and wanted to hit back. Sun Yijia's face was indifferent. She even raised her head slightly and showed her injured face so that it would be easier for her to hit back. If she really hit back, no matter who was in the right, it would be unreasonable. The woman had to clench her fingers and withdraw her hand angrily.
"What's wrong? You don't dare to fight back?" Sun Yijia opened and closed her mouth very slightly to avoid pulling the injury on her face as much as possible. After that, she slapped her again.
This time, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. Although Sun Yijia's personality was usually cold, she was definitely the role model for many young ladies in the capital. No one dared to imagine that one day she would hit someone, because when this scene was played out, it could be imagined how great the shock it caused was.
"Yijia!" Duchess Ding looked at Sun Yijia and frowned even more. Obviously, although Sun Yijia's behavior also surprised her, she was more angry. How could the daughter she taught be so rude?
Unfortunately, her daughter, who used to do whatever she said and would immediately admit and correct her mistakes when she said she was wrong and do her best, didn't even look at her now.
Sun Yijia's eyes were filled with unprecedented strong emotions. With hostility, she stared at her sister-in-law like a poisonous snake. "Fourth sister-in-law, you don't know, right? Sister Wan originally planned to come to White Dragon Temple today, but I brought forward the time to yesterday afternoon. According to what you said, am I not the scourge? Among the four people in the carriage, I was the least injured. You are all cursing in your hearts why I didn't fall to my death directly, right? I let you down. Who told me to be so lucky? Even if you all died, it wouldn't be my turn. "Because she deliberately lowered her voice, she even sounded like a malicious ghost who wanted to take people's lives.
It was really frightening that a person who didn't get angry suddenly got angry.
"Yijia, look at yourself now. Why don't you shut up?"
Sun Yijia suddenly turned her head to look at Duchess Ding, "What do I look like? If I'm not the same as what you think, it's naturally not good. Mother, don't think that I don't know what you and my father are thinking and what you want to do. I'm already like this. "As she spoke, she covered her injured face with tears in her eyes," Anyway, I have nothing left. If anyone dares to insult me, don't blame me for doing something that will make Duke Ding's Mansion lose face and make you regret it for the rest of your life. "
"Yijia …" Perhaps Sun Yijia had hit the nail on the head. When she saw Sun Yijia's disheartened look, her heart began to ache. After all, she was her only daughter. Although she had done her best to cultivate her for a purpose, she had still put in a lot of effort. "Don't be silly. Who would dare to abuse you? Don't do anything stupid, okay? "
Sun Yijia coldly twitched the corner of her mouth, making it clear that she didn't believe it.
Duchess Ding suddenly felt helpless to her daughter and couldn't help but soften her tone, "Come home with me first, okay? We can talk about it when we get back."
"Go back? You'll ground me when we get back, lest I, an ugly person, go out and be pointed at and humiliated? Or do you want to go all the way and marry me off far away so that I can never step into the capital again? "
"Why do you think so?"
"Isn't that so? Mother, do you dare to swear that you and Father don't have such plans? Swear on the lives of your children and grandchildren. If you lie, you'll have no descendants. "
Duchess Ding could no longer maintain her composure. Her eyes were burning with anger, "Sun Yijia, how can you say such vicious words? Your brothers doted on you for nothing. Your nephews like you so much. How can you curse them? "
"I'm vicious? I just want you to swear on them. If you and Father really don't have such plans, you'll have a clear conscience. "
Duchess Ding was suddenly speechless and couldn't say anything.
"You have nothing to say?" Tears fell from Sun Yijia's eyes as she recounted her endless grievances and sorrow, "You abandoned me first. You didn't want me first. You used to hold me in the palm of your hand and always gave me the best because I was valuable. You didn't raise a daughter, but a precious object, waiting for the day to exchange for the greatest benefits for you. But after all, you gave birth to me and raised me. I should repay you, so I did whatever you asked me to do without any complaints. But now, my face is ruined and I'm worthless. Not only do you not pity me or comfort me, but you also sprinkle salt on my wound. It's said that kittens and puppies will develop feelings for each other after being raised for a long time. I feel that I'm not even as good as a kitten or puppy … "The more she spoke, the more indignant she became.
Jingwan had been looking at her coldly before, but when she saw Sun Yijia's face begin to bleed again, she hurried forward and said, "Sister Jia, don't say it. Don't say it …"
Duchess Ding stood there in a daze. She probably never thought that her daughter would have such thoughts in her heart, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with what she said. Because of this, she was deeply touched. Thinking about herself, wasn't she like this all her life? Was she wronged at that time? Was she resentful? She knew that kind of sorrow, but she still heartlessly wanted her daughter to repeat it?
Jingwan's anxious voice woke her up. "Yijia, Yijia, it's my fault. I won't abandon you. I promise you that that day will never come. Believe me, okay?" Duchess Ding couldn't help but cry. It wasn't that she hadn't cried all these years, but she cried in front of Duke Ding. Her heart was cold and hard at that time, but now she was really crying for her daughter and for herself.
Sun Yijia shook off her hand and buried her head in Jingwan's neck. "Mother, you can go out first. I want to be alone for a while."
"Okay, okay. I'll listen to you. Don't talk anymore. Be careful … of pain. It's not good to bleed too much." She wanted to say be careful of her face, but she was worried that it would touch her heart again. However, she was worried about leaving just like that.
"Madam, you might as well go out first. Leave Sister Jia to me. I'll persuade her," Jingwan said when she saw that she was at a loss. At this moment, she really cared about Sun Yijia.
"Okay, I'll have to trouble you, Miss Luo."
