Chapter 300.2: The Opposite Effect Couldn't Be Heavier
Jing Wan personally believed that her attitude was also very clear-cut and firm, not leaving behind any sticky impressions for others. For Sun Yi Lin to have deep feelings towards her, it made her feel somewhat baffled, although Li Hong Yuan's deep feelings towards her similarly made her puzzled. Alright, in her outlook on feelings, there didn't exist 'love at first sight', but this didn't mean that others didn't have it. Moreover, Sun Yi Lin, towards her, shouldn't be considered love at first sight either. In the end, it still more or less had the factor of the environment inside. Because of the restrictions towards girls, not exiting the front gate, and not stepping out of the second gate, very rarely would they interact with outside males. And men naturally also very rarely had the opportunity to interact with other family's young ladies. Girls often times would easily fall for men that existed in the rumors, and men, in comparison, should also be the same. And a mutual hobby was further the foundation of feelings between two people.
When Sun Yi Lin initially fell for her, was there not the factor of flowers inside? No one would believe.
"Yes." Qing Zhu replied, turning to leave.
Having her wet nurse go say, of course it won't just be having Jing Wan's words conveyed that simple. Some things, it's better to clearly tell him. Perhaps for Sun Yi Lin, it was somewhat cruel, but as the saying goes, 'short pain was better than long pain'. Only by having him thoroughly put it down would it be the best outcome for everyone.
Just as Jing Wan expected, her wet nurse went to see Sun Yi Lin, even delivering some food. Because he hadn't eaten well in several days, the food sent were all some light and fluid food.
The wet nurse attentively and appropriately served him in his meal, and afterwards, according to his wish, supported him up to sit by the window, opening the window to let in some air.
However, from this position of his, he was able view that large terrace, yet unable to see Jing Wan's location. Although unable to hear the specific circumstances, from the various officials' stiffened figure, he was still roughly able to guess what was going on. The officials of the capital, the higher their rank, the higher the number of times they've dealt with Jin Qinwang. These people similarly weren't an exception.
Sun Yi Lin glanced a few times and just retracted his line of sight, afterwards asking about the incident this time. The overall contents have long been stringed together already, and for the detailed areas, just said that the situation at the time was too scary, all too stunned, just desperately running along with everyone, so where would one still pay attention to these. For women of the inner manor, this excuse couldn't be better. Then, aptly expressing some lingering fears, for the most part, there won't be anyone that will not believe, and also won't continue looking into it either, all harboring a bit of pity in the heart, not wanting to evoke the other party's inner fear.
Sun Yi Li's aim, the wet nurse naturally knew, and also followed along his intentions, speaking onto Jing Wan. Afterwards, vaguely expressed, wangye is a vinegar jar, and towards wangfei's former two fiancés, all very much avoided out of jealousy. Moreover, his possessiveness was extremely strong, where even the maiden family's brothers and elders, or even anyone, as long as it was paying a little more attention, wangfei later all might get 'tormented'.
The wet nurse, for the sake of letting Sun Yi Lin give up on his thoughts, had these words said in the severe direction. This meaning, even if not clearly stating, still couldn't be more obvious. Gentlemen Sun, if you truly care for our wangfei, it's best if you never appear again, and don't pay any attention either.
Just, as the wet nurse blindly spoke, she didn't notice Sun Yi Lin's increasingly dark and gloomy expression. The wet nurse's goal perhaps was reached, but at the same time, also brought about Sun Yi Lin's certain misunderstandings. Although he knew Li Hong Yuan wasn't as unbearable as he appeared on the surface, being maliciously ruthless in temperament, indefinitely moody, who can guarantee that these weren't real? Moreover, there were indeed women that have died in his hand. 'Torment', Sun Yi Lin just thought of this without the slightest reservation.
Then, when looking towards Li Hong Yuan again, Sun Yi Lin's eyes just carried an endless chill. That clearly was the woman he admired, the person he wanted to cup in his palm like pearl, like treasure. He sought but was unable to obtain, yet Li Hong Yuan just easily obtained, obtained yet didn't properly cherish, and was narrow-minded, wantonly degrading women. How can he be considered a man?
He once even thought, a woman like Miss Luo, even Jin Qinwang would properly cherish too. As expected, he was too naive, men like him that were scheming and deep, in his heart, there was probably just the country and power. What did a single woman count as?
But, right now, he was powerless to do anything. With the slightest shift, afraid it would just lead to immeasurable consequences.
Sun Yi Lin lowered his eyes, concealing the endless haze in his eyes. "Don't worry mama, in the future, I won't cause complications for Luo........Jin Wangfei anymore, won't." This was the only thing he was able to do right now. As for the rest, as for the rest..............Sun Yi Lin's fingernails were practically about to sink into his flesh.
Jing Wan's wet nurse relaxed a breath, patting her chest, unconsciously revealing a smile. This way, things naturally can't be better. "Then, gentleman, nicely rest for a while. We should be leaving this place soon."
"Alright, will be troubling mama."
The wet nurse left the room, conveniently closing the door behind her.
Sun Yi Lin sat in his original spot, hanging his head for a long time, quietly and soundlessly.
By a certain time, when he lifted his head again, one was no longer able to make out any abnormalities from his face.
Jing Wan probably also didn't expect that because of her wet nurse's words, despite somewhat managing to accomplish the goal, the opposite effect grew even stronger, to the extent that in the future, when certain things happen, she was actually unable to find the reason. How Jin Qinwang was towards her, as long as someone with eyes, all able to tell. Why was it only him that maintained a different view, firmly believing that 'what was heard was false', that everything inquired from other people's mouths were all a facade.
In reality, the cause of this aftermath was nothing more than the notion of the first impression being the strongest. Sun Yi Lin in this moment determined that Li Hong Yuan wasn't good to Jing Wan, and that all the good shown off was all just putting on an act. The purpose was just for the sake of deceiving everyone, thinking that he was a person immersed in romance, letting people lower their guard towards him, so that it would be easier for him to work in the dark.
He was unable to meet Jing Wan, so was unaware of her actual situation. His initial——-his perception at this very moment ultimately didn't change.
The wet nurse returned to report to Jing Wan, solemnly expressing that she already said things through with Gentleman Sun.
Jing Wan lightly smiled, "Oh? Then what did wet nurse say?"
The wet nurse was just about to repeat, when Li Hong Yuan came back, so naturally just chose to immediately shut up. And because of such an interruption, Jing Wan also just forgot to ask again. Otherwise, she would've been able to sense something. Just, this missed opportunity ended up bringing about certain immeasurable consequences.
Li Hong Yuan faintly swept a glance at the wet nurse, just like as if he knew what she was going to say.
The wet nurse kept quiet out of fear, hanging her head, stiffening her body.
Jing Wan got up, walking before Li Hong Yuan, "Why don't you all withdraw, I want to speak with wangye." Even if a certain someone has never lashed out at the people by her side before, but seemingly aside from Gong mama, the others all quite feared him. When able to not approach, they all didn't approach as much as possible. This also made one quite helpless.
"Yes." The wet nurse and Qing Zhu both quickly left.
Jing Wan's aim was obvious at a glance, but Li Hong Yuan was also too lazy to expose.
"Ah Yuan, when will we be leaving?"
"Already in preparation."
Jing Wan nodded, and shortly after, as if thinking of something, "Those officials, seeing this suit of clothes of yours, what all thoughts did they have?"
"What thoughts? Does 'using death to atone for their offense' count?"
