Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 220.1: Driving Out, Full Moon

Chapter 220.1: Driving Out, Full Moon

However, not long after Jing Wan and them returned to the Luo Manor, they just heard, that short-sighted miss from the Gu family was near death.

Jing Wan was endlessly surprised. Previously she was still perfectly fine, yet in this bit of time, she was just near death? Jing Wan rather wouldn’t go as far as to not believe. This was the Luo family, and the doctor was the manor doctor provided by the Luo family. Could it be that the Gu family people would even be able to feign illness under their eyelids? Besides, this kind of thing, her own family would even deceive her? That’s why, it was definitely real.

That aunt and niece pair had returned ahead of them. It was extremely possible that something happened after she left.

Jing Wan slightly contemplated. This was that Miss Gu’s first time entering the capital, so the people outside shouldn’t have grudges against her, and wouldn’t go as far as to cover her in a sack and violently beat her. And it also couldn’t have been having gotten raped by someone, losing her chast.i.ty, else when third brother said she’d already returned, he wouldn’t have been that indifferent. The most likely explanation should be having fallen into the river. At present, even the common cold can cause death. Drowning can cause the lungs to get infected, leading to high fever, and with the weather turning cold, it was also possible for wind chills, so asking for someone’s life was extremely possible.

Jing Wan decided to go have a look. Rather, not because she was concerned about the other party, but purely just wanting to know what happened, that’s all.

Just, as soon as she exited the courtyard gates, she just ran into Luo Jing Bo. It was obvious their purpose was the same.

“Third brother, what exactly happened, you should know, right?”

Luo Jing Bo furrowed his brows, hesitating for a moment. In the end, he still decided to have the matter explained to her.

Jing Wan paused in her steps. Well, it was indeed falling into the waters, just it wasn’t an accident, but rather human-caused, and even under numerous eyes, not concealing in the slightest. To be able to do this kind of thing, it was just that living Enma and the people under him. If switched with someone else, even the Emperor afraid would all execute it secretly. In feudal society, under the imperial power, as expected, there was no human rights.

Jing Wan rubbed her somewhat swollen temples.

Luo Jing Bo, seeing her like this, knew she was kind-hearted, and worried that she and Jin Qinw.a.n.g will produce misunderstandings. “Little sis, Jin Qinw.a.n.g was already seeing on your behalf. Otherwise, at the time, it might just be a corpse.”

“I know, I just worry that if his killing sin is too heavy, it’ll be harmful to the secret virtue. This ultimately isn’t good.” The people of the Gu family are a bit annoying, but their crimes still didn’t amount to death. And originally, it was also just wanting to teach that Miss Gu a lesson, and not asking for her life. Just, this lesson was truly a bit ruthless. For things to have become like this now, it was already irrevocable. Would Jing Wan even be at odds with Jin Qinw.a.n.g because of her? Close and distant relations, Jing Wan divided very clearly. It’s not like she was a saint. Even if Li Hong Yuan killed someone irrelevant in front of her, she still wouldn’t criticize him.

(T/N: Secret virtue is like all the good deeds you do in life tallied for your afterlife.)

When the two of them arrived, aside from Luo Rong Yan, Zhang-s.h.i.+, and the Gu family people, Luo Old Madam and w.a.n.g-s.h.i.+ were also present.

w.a.n.g-s.h.i.+ was in charge of the household, so all the big and small matters in the family, she all needed to oversee. And Luo Old Madam, as the highest authority in the rear manor, also should come have a look. However, at this time, they were both very quiet. The manor doctor prescribed the medicine and applied the needle. The medicine was also fed to that Miss Gu. Whether or not she’ll be able to live, it all depended on her own fortune.

Gu Zhang-s.h.i.+ held Gu Lian’er, mutteringly crying the whole time, and that uncle-in-law of Jing Wan’s, his eyes were scarlet red, a look of on the brink of a violent rage. Although he didn’t lash out, from the looks of it, afraid it was wanting to have this debt pressed on the Luo family’s head. “For old madam to not say a single word, could it be to just treat this as never happening? My perfectly fine younger sister just became like this after going out. Even if the Head Minister Manor, it still shouldn’t be this tyrannical and unreasonable. As such, if this one doesn’t receive an explanation, even if throwing out this life, one still won’t take things lying down.”

What kind of person was Luo Old Madam, how could she not see the calculations in this man’s eyes. For them to enter the capital this time, it was just wanting to borrow the Luo family’s power to begin with, regardless whether it was for the sake of seeking an official post, or wanting to achieve other goals. However, in these last few days, Head Minister Luo completely didn’t pay them any attention, so it was impossible for him to not be anxious inside. Right now, for such a thing to have happened, who knows how happy he was inside. Having this handle, he naturally will try to vigorously fish for benefits.

Luo Old Madam was calm and composed, “Even if it’s giving an explanation, this old one still needs to know what happened. If your younger sister did something herself, this old one most likely will even need to look into whether or not you all implicated the Luo family. Our Luo family is upright and honest in our conduct. What we should take responsibility for, we definitely won’t say no to. That said, what we shouldn’t shoulder, don’t even think about extorting us.”

That Gu uncle-in-law finally realized his own att.i.tude was too aggressive. He was also just saying vicious words with his mouth. If one really were to go against the Luo family, that was undoubtedly just striking a stone with eggs, ending up with a ‘digging one’s own grave’ ending. “Old madam, I was just momentarily anxious, asking you to please forgive me. After all, father and mother had younger sister handed over to me, yet now, she’s like this, how should I, how should I explain to them………..” As he spoke, he actually began choking up with emotions.

The two siblings outside the door glanced at one another. This acting was also incredible.

It’s no wonder they were able to give birth to Gu Lian’er, that kind of girl that was able to cry on the spot. Having inherited their ‘outstanding genes’, wasn’t it just the student surpa.s.sing the master? However, it has been quite some time since they’ve returned. Could it be that Gu Lian’er still hasn’t had what happened explained clearly?

Luo Old Madam was completely unmoved, what has she not seen before. Could it be that she would get decieved by this kind of little trick? “Since your daughter and the servant girls were all frightened, unable to speak properly, and the other children in your family also clueless as to what happened, then perhaps someone among our Luo family knows, and believe they won’t be like your daughter, unable to bear the slightest fright. Right now, we’ll call them over to ask. Even if they don’t know, with that many people at the festival, we’ll eventually be able to investigate clearly what happened. Who’s right, who’s wrong, naturally will all become clear.” Afterwards, she ordered someone to go call someone over.

To already put things like this, Gu uncle-in-law couldn’t say anything either. Looking to his younger sister laying on the bed, his expression was difficult to guess.

Before the mama by Luo Old Madam’s side even reached the door, the two siblings outside the door let the servant girl open the door, entering one after another. “Grandmother……….”

Luo Old Madam looked over, nodding her head, “You’ve come at the right time, do you know what happened?”

The two of them first paid their respects, and afterwards, Luo Jing Bo had the whole matter recounted, “…………..Grandmother, what kind of temper Jin Qinw.a.n.g has, in the entire capital, who doesn’t know? For her to shamelessly rush forward, that’s purely just looking for death. If not because of little sis’s relation, it’s probably just directly fis.h.i.+ng up a corpse from the river. Moreover, clearly knowing that’s little sis’s future husband, yet still behaving as such, really makes one disgusted. Never mind Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s people, even I all want to have her singlehandedly slapped into the river.” As Luo Jing Bo spoke, he glanced at the unconscious Miss Gu, his eyes completely cold.
