At first, the mother and daughter didn't react. Before they could ask, they already understood.
"Sister Wan is engaged? How is that possible? It's only been a few days, and there's been no news at all! "Sun Yijia found it hard to accept.
Duchess Ding also opened her mouth. In fact, she was actually happy in her heart. Even if such a daughter-in-law was impeccable and she could lower her requirements for her family background, it was difficult for her to accept the fact that her son placed her at the top of his heart. But now that she saw her son in so much pain, and that he, who had never been drunk, had a pale face, she really felt extremely distressed. "Yilin, it's just an engagement. If you're really not the third young lady of the Luo family, I'll think of a way to get the man to break off the engagement. Then, I'll take advantage of this time to propose marriage to the Luo family. I think the Luo family has no reason to refuse."
Sun Yijia pursed her lips when she heard this. She didn't agree with her mother's domineering style, but this matter was related to the marriage of her closest brother. There were some things that she knew to be despicable, but for the people she cared about, she might still do it without hesitation. However, she still wanted to hear her fifth brother's opinion now.
Sun Yilin laughed bitterly. "Mother, if I do this, what kind of person will I be? Breaking up people's karma first and taking advantage of people's difficulties later. How many people are watching our Duke Ding's Mansion? Once we do this kind of thing, it will definitely be known immediately. Bullying people can be a big or small thing. At that time, not only Father, but also the Empress and the clansmen will blame Mother. There are also many people watching Mother, waiting for you to make a mistake. Besides, what I've been scheming is bound to be something that some people will try their best to destroy. Once these people get involved, what are the chances of me getting what I want? And in the end, it's even more likely to harm Miss Luo. I don't want to be labeled as a despicable person in her heart. "
"But Yilin, you're making Mother's heart ache." Duchess Ding couldn't help but wipe her tears.
"Mother, I'm fine. I just drank a little too much. I'll be fine after I recover." Sun Yilin closed his eyes. When he spoke again, there was endless bitterness in his voice. "In the end, my fate with her was too shallow."
"Yilin, Yilin, don't be like this. I'll find you a better girl. I won't be stubborn. Let's not care about other people and just find someone you like. If there's no one in the capital, we'll go outside the capital. The entire Qi Yuan Dynasty is so big, how can we not find a girl you like? Yi Lin … "
"Mother, don't bother, I don't want to …"
"Yilin," Duchess Ding interrupted him with a sharp voice. "Are you not going to marry and have children for the rest of your life? If you do this, what will happen to your mother? I painstakingly carried you for ten months and raised you into an adult. In the end, this is how you repay me? Who did you let down? Ah, who did you let down? "
"Mother, don't be agitated. I just don't want it for the time being. Give me a few years. Anyway, I'm not that old now. Maybe fate will come naturally when the time comes." Sun Yilin said somewhat weakly.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll do as you say." She took the handkerchief from the servant and personally wiped his face.
"Mother, I'll do it myself."
Sun Yijia silently retreated. Without comparison, there was no way to know. In her mother's heart, Fifth Brother was indeed the most important. Wasn't this the best time to reflect a person's true thoughts?
Sun Yijia inexplicably felt a little cold. She hugged her arms and rubbed them.
Her wet nurse saw her like this and her heart ached. "Good girl, why don't …"
"Wet nurse, get someone to prepare the carriage. I want to go to the Luo family."
"Miss, isn't it inappropriate to go to the Luo family at this time?" The wet nurse was slightly hesitant.
"Wet nurse, what are you thinking? It's just that as an older sister, I feel that my younger sister is a little unkind. Why didn't she tell me about such a joyous occasion? She should have told me and let me share in the joy."
The wet nurse saw that her mood was still calm and she didn't seem to be questioning her. In addition, she seemed to be a little sad because of the madam's words and deeds again. It wasn't impossible for her to meet Miss Luo.
Sun Yijia didn't know that not long after she left, Duke Dingguo returned to the manor with her other brothers. Although they didn't know the full text of the article written by Sun Yilin, they knew that it was very inappropriate.
Duke Dingguo took his eldest son to see the situation of his youngest son and asked him what was going on.
As the eldest brother, Sun Yibin seemed to be concerned about Sun Yilin, but in fact, he was criticizing him in all kinds of ways. He shouldn't have gone out when he was entangled with trouble; he shouldn't have written such an article and become a topic for ridicule; he shouldn't have gotten drunk and damaged the image of Duke Dingguo's Mansion; and he shouldn't have troubled his mother to take care of him like this.
"Sun Yibin, that's enough!" Duchess Dingguo interrupted her eldest son's words with an angry roar. Even Duke Dingguo was shocked by her. Duchess Dingguo looked at him coldly. "Don't you see that your brother is suffering? Your father hasn't said anything yet. You scolded him as soon as you came in. How can you be an elder brother? "
"Mother, it's not like that. I just …" Sun Yibin was slightly older than Prince Kang. He also had a dignified appearance, gentle and handsome, and looked like an elegant gentleman. At this time, he was as helpless as a child.
"You don't have to explain to me. Who doesn't know what you're thinking? You can't wait for your brother to die so that you'll be happy."
"Mother, why do you think so? I watched Yilin grow up. I naturally hope that he'll be well …" Sun Yibin rubbed his forehead, showing a tired and sad expression that was always misunderstood by others.
"Don't pretend here. If you really have the slightest intention for your brother, get out of here immediately."
Sun Yibin forced a smile. "Mother, I know that compared with Yilin, you don't like me at all. Since Yilin was born, you have been partial to him. I didn't say anything. But do we have to quarrel like this because of Yilin? If this gets out, how many people will laugh at us? "
"If you don't say it, how can this matter get out?"
These words were equivalent to saying, "You're a villain. If this matter gets out, it must be you who did it." It made Sun Yibin's face turn ugly.
"Aren't you trying to make outsiders think that you're a filial son and a good elder brother? Yilin is suppressing you and blocking your way. You pretend to be indifferent and magnanimous, but in fact, you're trying your best to smear your brother's reputation. So what if I'm partial to him? You don't say anything. What do you have to say? Your father has always been partial to you. Did Yilin say a word? You got all the good things from your father. Do you still want to get all my care? You want to monopolize all the good things in the world? Aren't you being a little too ambitious? … "
Sun Yibin's face was really as dark as the bottom of a pot. It was not fake at all.
"Madam, that's enough." Duke Ding, who had stood aside and watched, finally couldn't stand it anymore. Originally, he thought that if the mother and son talked openly, maybe they could ease the tension. After all, his wife had always been cold to his eldest son, and he was helpless. But in fact, the more they talked, the more outrageous it became, and the worse their relationship was.
"That's not enough. Since we've talked to this extent today, let's talk openly." Duchess Ding looked at Sun Yibin with cold eyes. "You're my eldest son. Since you were born, I had great hopes for you. I tried my best to raise you. After your second brother was born, you were still young. I was worried that you would be instigated by others, so I was more devoted to you and neglected your second brother. When Yilin was born, you were already more than ten years old. I thought that you should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. I thought that I had let your second brother down, so I couldn't let your fifth brother down. So I took care of him more, but I never ignored you. Even so, you were still jealous of him and held a grudge against him. What's more, after he was enlightened, he showed far more intelligence than ordinary people, so you couldn't tolerate him and wanted him dead …"
"Mother …" Sun Yibin's pupils contracted sharply, showing panic. He hurriedly concluded Duchess Ding's words. It seemed that he had a premonition that his next words might cause him great trouble.
Duchess Ding sneered, "When Yilin was five years old, on a cold winter day …"
"Mother …" Sun Yibin even ignored his manners and reached out to cover Duchess Ding's mouth.
At this time, not only did the silent Sun Yilin open his eyes, but Duchess Ding also looked sideways.
Duchess Ding slapped him in the face, and Sun Yibin stepped back. "You pushed your brother into the lotus pond with your own hands. Do you think I don't know?"
Sun Yilin widened his eyes in disbelief, and Duchess Ding was even more shocked beyond words. But seeing Sun Yibin clenched his fists and trembling all over, it meant that Duchess Ding was telling the truth. How could it be, how could it be …
"How black-hearted do you have to be to be able to kill your younger brother at such a young age? Ah? Do you know how heartbroken I was at that time? The son I worked so hard to raise was worse than a beast! "It's because you're my son that I can't bear to see you taint yourself. Everyone else thinks that I'm crazy. I killed so many people because I didn't take good care of your younger brother's servants. I'm crazy. I'm crazy because of you. Yilin had a high fever and was unconscious. At that time, you looked very worried and went to see him whenever you had time. I thought you felt guilty. I thought you were just confused for a moment. I wanted to give you a chance, but what did you do? The second and third time you wanted to kill your brother. At that time, you were actually wondering why he was not dead, right? When you learned that your brother's brain might be damaged, do you think I didn't see how happy you were? After he recovered, do you think I didn't see how sorry you were? He forgot what happened before and after he fell into the water. Do you think I didn't know how lucky you were? You are such a black-hearted thing. Why should I like you and be partial to you? As for Yilin, if I didn't protect him and be partial to him, how could he live until now? "
Sun Yilin narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Yibin sharply. He once thought that this elder brother of his was really good to him when they were young. It turned out that even this was fake. In fact, there was no affection between them except for that little bit of blood relationship. "Brother, you are very good. Really, very good!"
No wonder after his serious illness, his mother told him not to follow his brother. When he asked why, his mother told him that it was because his brother had grown up and had a lot of things to do. He was very busy. He believed it, but in fact, his mother wanted to protect him and separate him from his brother.
Even if the affection was real, it was almost worn away, let alone fake. Then he didn't need to hesitate anymore.
Sun Yibin, who had been exposed, gradually recovered from his trembling. He didn't feel guilty, nor did he want to atone for his sins. There was only indifference in his eyes. "Mother, since you have hidden it for me for so many years, why don't you continue to hide it? Sure enough, Sun Yilin is your favorite. "
Duchess Ding was not surprised by his reaction. "Continue to hide it? I watched you use endless means to deal with Yilin, and he repeatedly gave in for the sake of affection. Even when he fought back, he didn't hit hard. Not only did you not stop, but you became more and more vicious. Until now, you still don't repent. You are really incurable. "
"I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I repent? The enemy should be completely eradicated. This is what father taught me."
Duke Dingguo took two steps back with a pale face. He didn't believe that this was the son he had taught. He tore off the layer of hypocrisy and turned into a beast who didn't recognize his own family. However, he had been deceived by such a beast.
"Is your younger brother also your enemy?"
"Of course, anyone who wants to compete with me is my enemy. Sun Yilin is no exception."
"Who caused him to come to this point? If you didn't harm him again and again, would he compete with you?"
"He still competed with me, so I did the right thing from the beginning. A person like him won't have ambition until he is dead." Sun Yibin turned to look at Sun Yilin and suddenly smiled. "Yilin, you can't be like this. You are as weak as a little girl. How can you compete with me? I'm waiting for you. Let's see how capable you are to make a comeback. " Then he turned to look at Duchess Ding. "Father, for so many years, you refused to ask for the title of Heir Apparent for me. Is it because you actually like Sun Yilin more in your heart? It's just that he is still young and you are worried about him, so you deliberately suppressed him for me to see and let me put down my guard. In fact, when the time is right, you will ask for the title of Heir Apparent for him, so that my efforts will be in vain and I will have nothing? Fortunately, I was prepared. If I did everything according to your instructions, wouldn't I be a puppet now? Father, you are not young anymore. It's time for you to enjoy your remaining years. Let me do the more glorious things of Duke Ding's Mansion. "
"Bastard!" Duchess Ding's eyes were about to crack. His blood rushed up and his face flushed. He slapped him.
Sun Yibin grabbed his hand and threw it away. "Father, I hope to see the memorial to ask for the title of Heir Apparent for me tomorrow. I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave first. " Otherwise, why would you only expose me today when you already know my true colors? It's been so many years. What I want is already in my hands. If you say it now, it won't affect me at all. On the contrary, I should be thanking you. You don't have to put on an act in front of Father anymore. It's tiring to listen to his orders and be controlled by him. It's the most satisfying to be able to make your own decisions. "
When he came in, he still looked like a modest gentleman. When he went out, it was as if he had taken off the shackles on his body and became wanton and ostentatious.
Sun Yibin's change was an unprecedented blow to Duchess Ding. Even if Sun Yilin disobeyed him, he would at most be angry. But now, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. What he lost was his essence, Qi, and spirit. There were even signs of a stroke.
Duchess Ding also lost her sharpness and coldness. With a stupefied expression, she took two steps back and sat on the edge of Sun Yilin's bed. After sitting for a while, she turned to look at Sun Yilin in a daze. "Yilin, I'm sorry. It's Mother's fault. If Mother had said it earlier, maybe, maybe …"
This was also a blow to Duchess Ding. Sometimes, it was not easy to say what was hidden in one's heart. In fact, she was the one who suffered the most and suffered the most. When she learned that her eldest son was such a person, how could she not think of correcting him? But obviously, she failed in the end. That person, from the beginning to the end, didn't think that he was wrong. He just hinted that he would only be respectful on the surface. If she made it clear to him, maybe he would hide deeper and have more vicious thoughts.
Compared with the two of them who were on the verge of collapse, Sun Yilin was almost unaffected except for being firm in his previous practice. He didn't even worry about whether Sun Yibin had secretly controlled Duke Ding's Mansion and even the Sun family. When Sun Yibin was full of confidence and seemed to have the power in his hands, he inexplicably thought of Prince Jin Li Hongyuan.
Sun Yibin's ability was not small, but Duke Ding was not a fool. It was possible to do a little trick under his nose, but this kind of thing like controlling the power of Duke Ding's Mansion was simply a big joke. Sun Yibin had not been able to become the heir for a long time. He didn't even have the confidence to paint a cake to appease people's hunger. In addition, Sun Yilin grew more and more outstanding, and was even favored by the Emperor. Even if Duke Ding had always supported his eldest son, it was useless if the Emperor didn't agree. Why would those people support Sun Yibin?
Sun Yibin's confidence was nothing more than forcing Duke Ding to confer him the title of heir, so that he could be justified. In addition to Old Madam Sun, there were also the elders of the Sun family. They may not have official positions, but they used to be high-ranking officials and made contributions to the Sun family. These people had high seniority and were respected in the family. Even as the patriarch of the Sun family, Duke Ding couldn't ignore their opinions. Instead, when they preached, he had to listen respectfully. The glory of Duke Ding's Mansion was indispensable to these people.
"Mother, you didn't let me down. No matter how wrong he is, he is still your son after all. Can you push him to his death? I am fine now, so you don't have to feel guilty. "
"Yilin, Yilin …" Duchess Ding couldn't help crying again. Why, why did Yilin understand his painstaking efforts, but that bastard was still stubborn?
Sun Yilin waited until Duchess Ding was almost done crying before he turned to Duke Ding, who had been in a state of despair. "Father, since he wants to confer the title of Heir Apparent, you can write it to him when you go back."
Duke Ding seemed to suddenly come to life. He almost jumped up and stared at Sun Yilin with his eyes wide open. "Now you don't want to compete with him? Are you afraid of him and want to shrink back? "
Obviously, he was in line with the saying, "When things reach an extreme, they will go in the opposite direction." He had been cheated so miserably and hated being robbed of his power for no reason. He hated Sun Yibin as much as he used to care about him. Naturally, he hoped that Sun Yilin could fight back strongly and hit Sun Yibin's arrogance hard.
"Yilin, you don't have to be afraid. You still have me. I will confer the title of heir for you and give Duke Ding's Mansion to you."
Sun Yilin smiled sarcastically. "I didn't confer the title of heir for him. It's not me who oppresses him, but His Majesty." He said firmly, "Even if you give the letter to him now, I'd like to see how capable he is to change His Majesty's mind. Father, you have planned for him wholeheartedly in vain, but in the end, you are suspected by him. "
Sun Yilin sprinkled salt on Duke Ding's wound again, making him tremble all over. Sun Yilin didn't say anything more.
The room fell into silence once again.
After a long while, Duke Ding spoke again. "Yilin, what are you going to do?"
"Forgive me for not telling you, father," Sun Yilin said coldly.
It was really uncomfortable to be distrusted by his son, but he couldn't get angry with his son. "Yilin, you have to be careful. Your eldest brother has grown powerful and is now crazy. I'm afraid that he will kill you without scruples."
"His Majesty and the Empress are there. Since he already has great power, he won't be stupid enough to go to extremes. Now he wants to see me become a stray dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy. Give him the letter, and then, as he said, take good care of yourself. Leave the rest to me. There are many people who want to fight with Duke Ding's Mansion, not one person's word. I won't be alone and helpless. Besides … "Besides, there was Li Hongyuan, such a dangerous person, lurking in the dark. He wasn't sure if Sun Yibin had come to this point because of him. He didn't even know if the Sun family had been broken up by him. If so, no matter what he did now, it would be in vain.
It felt like Li Hongyuan had already opened a big net, and everyone was the fish in his net. They seemed to be jumping happily, but who knew if they were not dying in another sense? What was more terrible was that these fish didn't feel anything. As the only fish who knew the truth, he couldn't tell others.
On the other side, Sun Yijia arrived at the Luo family. After hearing the news, Jingwan waited for her at the second gate with a smile.
Sun Yijia looked at Jingwan, who looked the same as before, and didn't know what to say.
Those in power knew about what happened outside, but it hadn't spread to the inner residence. Therefore, Jingwan didn't know. However, she guessed that Sister Jia should know about her engagement. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to the Luo family. She took Sun Yijia's arm, "Sister Jia, let's go in and talk."
In the Begonia House, the maids had already prepared tea and snacks. In her own territory, there was no need to be reserved. Jingwan asked Sun Yijia to take off her veil. Sun Yijia didn't wear a veil to hide her embarrassment, nor did she care about other people's gazes. She just didn't want to be startled by others. She was really annoyed, so she naturally didn't have any scruples here.
Jingwan looked at her wound. It was recovering well. When it fully healed in the future, it would probably protrude a little. Then, it might be whiter than normal skin. If she covered it with foundation, or applied a special "twining makeup" around the wound, it might make her look stunning. It might even make her look popular.
When she saw how careful Jingwan was with her wound, she suddenly felt that Sister Wan might have a ruthless and resolute side. "Sister Wan, you deliberately hid it from me, right? It's not like I didn't write to you these few days. Even if you vaguely said something in your reply, I wouldn't have found out about your engagement … from other people. "
Jingwan smiled calmly. "You don't have to wait on me. You can all leave. I want to have a private talk with Sister Jia."
Even Sun Yijia's servants bowed respectfully and then retreated in an orderly manner.
"Since I know Sister Jia's thoughts, I naturally have to prevent Sister Jia from causing trouble, right?" Jingwan smiled a little mischievously.
"Then you also know my fifth brother's thoughts, right?" Sun Yijia didn't buy it and continued to pursue.
"That, Sister Jia really isn't likable at all."
Sun Yijia was a little helpless in front of Jingwan like this, but she still decided to tell the truth. If she beat around the bush at this time, it would really hurt their relationship. "Sister Wan, since you know, why don't you choose my fifth brother? Could it be that he can't compare to your current fiancé? He's preparing to propose marriage to you, but you gave him a head-on blow. Don't use your parents' words to fool me. I can see that Madam Luo dotes on you. If you don't want to, she won't force you. "
Jingwan's smile faded. "Before your fifth brother came to find me today, I didn't know that he had feelings for me. But even if I knew, I wouldn't choose him. It's not that he's not good, it's that Ding General Manor isn't good. You grew up in Ding General Manor, so you should know how messy the situation is. "
"But you're different from me. Once you marry into Ding General Manor, my fifth brother will protect you wholeheartedly and won't let anyone hurt you."
"Sister Jia, you have to remember that the inner residence is a woman's world. Even if it's like what you said, he can't stay by my side all the time, right? If he cares about me, I will become his weakness, and the people who compete with him will naturally want to harm me. I can't disturb his mind, but they will also think of ways to threaten him. If it is really just a conspiracy, I may be able to fight back, but there is also a situation called 'one strong person can defeat ten skilled people'. If they take advantage of the loophole and use the simplest and most violent method to deal with me, in that place, I will definitely not be able to call for help. "
Sun Yijia bit her lip. "Sister Wan, are you thinking too much? Our home is not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den."
"Because the son is too good to the daughter-in-law, the mother wants to get rid of the daughter-in-law. This kind of thing is not unheard of."
Sun Yijia understood what she meant. With her mother's care for her fifth brother, it was really possible that she would do such a thing. Even if it seemed that she compromised now and married Sister Wan, in the future, as time passed, the more she looked at her, the more unpleasant she would be to the eye. Then, then … Sun Yijia smiled a little weakly. "Which inner residence doesn't have troublesome things? Sister Wan, are you sure that if you marry into another family, your life will be smooth sailing? "
"At least it won't be worse than Ding General Manor. In fact, I'm very tired of fighting. The reason why I can live freely in the inner courtyard of the Luo family is not because I'm very capable, but because the person with the highest power in the manor loves and protects me. If I'm constantly trapped in the inner courtyard's fighting, I'll probably be driven crazy. "
"Didn't you say that if you really have someone in your heart, you're willing to change for him, endure for him, and do anything for him?"
Jingwan glanced at Sun Yijia strangely. "But I don't admire your fifth brother, so why should I keep him in my heart? Moreover, marriage is not only a matter between two people, but also a matter between two different surnames. Right now, the battle for the position of the heir is white-hot. It's very unexpected that the Luo family is neutral. How can I drag them into this quagmire? "
The most annoying thing was that she didn't have any thoughts about her fifth brother. Sun Yijia felt depressed.
Jingwan reached out and poked her face. "What, are you angry with me?"
Sun Yijia glared at her angrily. "I thought that Sister Wan was the most gentle and considerate person, but in fact, you're the most cold-hearted and frighteningly rational. I really want to see what you'll do if you fall in love with a man one day."
"Then I don't know. Maybe anything can happen, or maybe nothing will happen. We'll only know when the time comes."
"Alright, alright. Just looking at your indifferent face makes me angry. I don't care about this anymore. My fifth brother is a grown man. He won't make a fuss about it."
Jingwan laughed again. Her laughter made Sun Yijia's anger soar to the sky, but in the blink of an eye, it was as if a basin of water had been poured over her.
"It's windy. It's better for you to stay away from your wound for the time being. Come in and sit down."
After entering the room, Sun Yijia saw the paintings on the table. "Wow, what kind of painting technique is this? It's so realistic and looks especially beautiful."
"It's a painting technique created by my older brother. It's gradually taking shape recently. I'm also learning it. He sent these paintings over and asked me to help him think about it and see if I can improve it further." Jingwan lied without blushing or skipping a beat.
Sun Yijia recalled the hurried scene outside Begonia Elegant Residence and the humorous and refreshing scene on the way to White Dragon Temple. Her eyes flashed, "I didn't expect that your older brother, who looks like a free and easy person, is actually a meticulous and emotional person."
Jingwan was speechless. Perhaps he was a meticulous and emotional person. As for this meticulous mind, forget it!
Sun Yijia flipped through the paintings one by one. Because Jingwan's previous paintings were mostly flowers and trees, when Luo Jingbo started, he also started from this aspect. However, after he had more or less mastered the technique, he would also add animals, mountains, and other objects into the painting. Although it was few, but the finished product of each painting was very good. The more Sun Yijia looked at it, the more she liked it. "Unfortunately, I don't have much time. After marriage, it's even more impossible. Otherwise, I would also learn properly."
Jingwan's eyes flashed. If Jin Qinwang's words were true, Jia jiejie, you would probably become an 'old disaster' that would not be able to get married. Jingwan saw that Sun Yijia was holding her older brother's painting and was reluctant to part with it. Suddenly, an idea popped up in her mind. She had always wanted her to be her sister-in-law. Why couldn't she abduct her back to be her sister-in-law?
Even if Sun Yijia's face was damaged, in Jingwan's eyes, she was still a good girl that was hard to come by. Just because her face was disfigured, she was looked down upon and trampled into the mud. How unfair was that? Could it be that she couldn't compare to a straw bag beauty? Moreover, her older brother, no matter what, really didn't care much about a person's beauty or ugliness. She had heard before that her older brother didn't have many requirements for his wife. Her temperament was better and she wasn't that kind of troublemaker. As long as it wasn't a big and coarse person that was unbearably ugly, he could basically accept it. To put it nicely, he was open-minded. To put it bluntly, he was insensitive.
If it was before Jia jiejie's face was disfigured, she wouldn't have thought of this. If Jin Qinwang broke off the engagement, she was afraid that the marriage would be even more difficult. No one would be willing or even dare to marry her. And if she participated in the "marriage disruption", if her older brother married her as his wife, Jin Qinwang probably wouldn't do anything. Then it would be a lot easier. The interest of these two families would also be a lot weaker because Sun Yijia didn't have any "value".
Although it might be a bit unkind to think this way and even suspected of taking advantage of someone's perilous state, it was also the truth.
Thinking about it carefully, their family was actually quite suitable for Jia jiejie. No matter what, her father didn't care about anything and her mother was a "young girl's heart" who was easily swayed. In their branch, yiniang could be considered to be well-behaved. Jia jiejie's temperament wasn't bad. She grew up in Ding Guo Gong fu and was trained according to the standards of a Qinwang Fei. Her skills definitely weren't bad and she was more than enough to protect her mother in the Luo family's inner courtyard. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there wasn't a better candidate than her.
However, even so, it was still very difficult for her to handle this matter. Moreover, she had to wait until Jin Qinwang settled the marriage. Before that, she couldn't even mention it to her grandmother. Of course, the most important thing was to know Jia jiejie's wishes.
Just as she was thinking, a servant girl came in to report, "Miss, Third Young Master is looking for you."
"What is he doing here at this time, doesn't he know that I have guests here?" Jingwan glanced at Sun Yijia and saw that she was startled.
"Is it that brother of yours? Hurry and go take a look, maybe there's something urgent. "Without waiting for Jingwan to speak, Sun Yijia reached out to push her. It seemed that she was more anxious than her own younger sister.
Jingwan was slightly confused. It couldn't be that when she had the idea of matchmaking the two of them, this one really had the idea?
"Okay, I'll go take a look. I'll be back soon."
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if I wait."
Jingwan really wanted to roll her eyes. After going out, Luo Jingbo held a large roll of paper in both hands, "Third Brother, what is this for?"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, let me borrow the study." Luo Jingbo didn't dare to ignore Jingwan's study.
Jingwan was also puzzled by his impatience and hurriedly followed him.
Jingwan's study was spacious and specially arranged to be a place for painting.
A piece of paper that was a zhang long could be spread out completely after casually tidying it up. "Little Sister, hurry and help me take a look, I keep feeling that something is wrong."
Before Jingwan walked in, she saw a half-completed painting of birds looking up to a phoenix.
The layout was just right, and the whole thing was majestic. Every bird in the details was vivid and lifelike, and the main body of the phoenix could be said to be vivid, not to mention the dreamlike beauty of the background. This was just a simple color. Jingwan didn't expect that Luo Jingbo could have such achievements in fine brushwork in such a short time.
"Little Sister, I've adjusted the color of the phoenix several times, but I still feel that something is wrong."
"Let me take a look." Jingwan stepped forward.
Luo Jingbo used a light yellow as the base color of the phoenix. This was to turn the phoenix into a golden color. This color was more difficult to control. If it was too light or too thick, it would look dull, and if it was too bright, it would feel gaudy. It was not suitable for the solemn atmosphere of the king of birds. Jingwan thought for a while and stood in front of the shelf where she displayed her paints. After a moment of silence, she took out a few colors and began to mix them.
He had forgotten that there was still a guest in the courtyard.
Sun Yijia didn't mind waiting for a while, but if she waited for too long, would Little Sister Wan really not treat her as an outsider?
After asking where Jingwan was and knowing that the Luo family's third young master was still there and that they were painting, Sun Yijia still walked into the study after hesitating for a while. However, when she saw the painting of the person who had his head lowered and was painting seriously, Sun Yijia's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. It seemed that in order not to disturb him, Sun Yijia couldn't help but slow down her breathing as she walked closer.
After Luo Jingbo finished coloring the tail feathers, he vaguely felt that there was someone in front of him and thought that it was Jingwan. "Little Sister, what do you think?" Then he raised his head and met Sun Yijia's eyes. Luo Jingbo was startled and then said apologetically, "Hello, Miss Sun. I'm sorry, I forgot that you were still here. Please forgive me. "
Sun Yijia instinctively covered her face. Her face was a little red as she said softly, "No."
"Miss Sun, the wound on your face hasn't healed yet, right? Don't use so much force, or else it'll hurt." His words were very natural and pure. There was no shock, sympathy, or disgust in his voice.
Jingwan raised her head and looked at the two of them. Say, is it really okay for a man like you to casually speak about the wound on a girl's face? However, looking at Sister Jia's expression, it didn't seem like he had poked her wound, but her heart instead.
Sun Yijia didn't put her hand down. "Young Master Luo, don't you think it's ugly?" Now, for some reason, she cared about her face more than ever. There was even a trace of regret that she didn't notice.
"There's nothing ugly about it. The damage has already been done. It doesn't matter if it's ugly."
Seeing Sun Yijia's red eyes and tears gathering in her eyes, Jingwan used to think that there was nothing wrong with her brother being insensitive. Now, she wanted to beat him up. He was simply a blockhead. Bastard, how could you say that?
Luo Jingbo lowered his head and looked at his painting. He didn't see Sun Yijia's expression. "However, you girls might care a lot about this kind of thing. Actually, I don't think it's necessary. No matter how beautiful a person is, if she has a heart of snakes and scorpions, no one will like her. On the contrary, even if her appearance is damaged, as long as she has a good heart, even if others can't accept her for a while, they will genuinely like her after a long time."
"Really?" Sun Yijia asked in surprise.
Fine, it was a lucky hit. She worried for nothing.
"Yes." Luo Jingbo answered very casually, but he didn't know that he might have stirred up a pool of spring water. "Little sister, go accompany Miss Sun. I'll think about it myself."
"It's okay. You guys go ahead. I'll just watch. It's actually quite enjoyable to watch you guys draw." Sun Yijia hurriedly waved her hand.
Luo Jingbo was one of them. Since you're happy, you can do whatever you want. It wasn't like a man and a woman were alone in a room. He didn't want to deliberately avoid arousing suspicion. He always felt that it was unnecessary. When it was necessary to avoid arousing suspicion, he should avoid it. But since they had already met, it was naturally fine. He thought that his actions were righteous and upright. There was no need to be so harsh.
