Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 22: Ding Duke Manor's Old Madam

To be able to become the Ding Duke Manor's eldest daughter-in-law, meant that she herself was extremely exceptional. In addition, she has been molded and refined for nearly ten years in this Ding Duke Manor's inner court, assisting the mother-in-law in managing the household. Her means and abilities were even a cut above many of her elders. She had a pair of sharp eyes that can be said to be discerning. Towards an ordinary young lady, what kind of personality they had, she only needed to meet just once or twice to be able to know most of it. The times Luo Jing Ying has come to the Ding Duke Manor could be counted on the fingers. She'd seen her once before, but with just that one time, she already clearly understood after just a few words. The same as a great majority of the young ladies, impatient and reckless, coveted after vanity, and futilely attempt to climb up higher. Her inner qualities were inferior to the talent she presented on the outside.

The Luo family, although wasn't a family that made people particularly pay attention to, they couldn't be ignored either. If it wasn't for the fact that her mother-in-law really couldn't step away, it should have been her mother-in-law that personally came to welcome them. Of the young ladies in the Luo family's grandchildren generation, only that already married eldest miss, was able to let this noble young madam take a fancy to. Yet today, she was somewhat surprised. She seamlessly glanced to Jing Wan a few times, then looked to Luo Old Madam. Her bearing noble and poised, her eyes bright with spirit, not appearing the slightest bit sluggish, but with ample vitality. She was nothing like how the rumors were, saying she was recuperating from illness the whole time thus didn't enter the capital.

Should say, as expected of the granddaughter personally raised by Luo Old Madam?

She'd heard yesterday that this one had entered the capital, and even heard from the old madam some rather unexpected things. That year, if it wasn't for this one choosing to marry down on her own, right now, this Ding Duke Manor's inner courtyard old madam nine times out of ten would be her. Just thinking about it was shocking.

Luo Old Madam's decision that year made a lot of people all very surprised. One side although was the flower snatcher[1], whose family background was also considered clean and noble, even once having a cabinet minister, but of the former dynasty. When Luo Pei Shan had entered the capital, the Luo family, for the most part, didn't have any roots in the capital city. And on the other side was the Ding Duke Manor's heir. If switched with an average person, how they would choose, simply don't even have to think about. At the time, who knew how many people secretly ridiculed her for having water enter her brains?

However, for those who knew a bit of the political situation at the time, probably all wouldn't think that there was something wrong with the decision the Chen family made. Yes, in their eyes, that was the Chen family's decision, and not this one's own decision.

Have to say though, the Ding Duke Manor's old madam, ever since the old Duke passed away a few years ago, for the most part, stayed deep within the residence, very rarely ever meet with outsiders. Even today, only a very small number of people were able to meet her. If not those wangfeis, or jun wangfeis[2], whose status were noble, then it was those old madams, whose relationship with her was pretty good in itself. And Luo Old Madam, who in many people's eyes was just a complete stranger, instead received the same level of treatment as them. Of those who saw, not one wasn't guessing, just which family was this one from to be able to have this kind of special privilege, also thinking in their hearts how they should interact with this one in the future.

Luo Old Madam was also very surprised that this Sun Old Madam wanted to see herself. Just getting seen by her like this will probably result in all of them becoming the target of multiple arrows. Perhaps, it might even let people mistakenly assume that the Sun family wants to rope in the Luo family. For the Luo family, the harm was greater than the benefits.
