The ones that were already on bad terms with Jing Wan, setting aside whether or not they regretted inside, all in all, the others all firmly decided to properly educate their descendants. And the people of the Luo family that weren’t present certainly will also learn about Jing Wan’s meaning.
This will be a good start, and moreover, they won’t know that wangfei and whatnot, this was just the beginning. In the future, she will become the mother of the world, becoming the most honorable woman under the heavens. And the Luo family, as the only outer relatives, even if not having a high post and generous salary, their position will also be incomparable. Precisely as the saying goes, ‘when unable to make connections with the Emperor, then naturally just make connections with the Empress’. And making connections with the Empress was naturally just drawing in relations with the Luo family, and marriage connections was still the most mainstream way of drawing in relations.
The high officials, meritorious nobles, as well as the members of the imperial clan, how many people were there? As the fragrant steamed bun among fragrant steamed buns, the young ladies and young masters of the Luo family certainly won’t be enough to divide up. Then, those families that were close with the Luo family, as well as the ones that were purely close with Jing Wan, similarly will upgrade into fragrant steamed buns. As such, even if their status and background wasn’t adequate, as long as it was obtaining a word from Jing Wan, then they absolutely won’t need to worry over not having a good marriage arrangement.
If their moral character was no good, then Jing Wan absolutely won’t something like screwing someone else over, creating an ill-matched couple.
Of course, these were all matters ten years in the future, temporarily don’t need to mention.
While this side was idly chatting, the masters of the Luo family also gradually came over. The adults were still reserved, not revealing their emotions too much, but the relatively younger ones, at this time, were all quite happy. The gifts Jing Wan prepared were also meticulous, and as long as a child, regardless of whether it was the older generation or the younger generation, it was all accurately to their liking. Although in terms of di and shu, there were differences, but the discrepancy wasn’t big. The rest were just with each married couple as a unit. Speaking of which, as the elders, they all understood Jing Wan’s personality. As a di mother, perhaps seeing Jing Wan give things to their shu-born children, they would have thoughts inside, but they won’t think of docking their things either. At this time, how stupid would one be to do this kind of thing.
Even for the third branch, Liu-shi’s thoughts have all dulled, wholeheartedly instructing her di son and taking care of her di daughter. She also didn’t count on Luo Jing Ying being able to marry again. To be able to live out her life in the Luo family was already not bad. And towards the relatively young shu-born children, she also no longer treated them harshly. Her eldest shu son Luo Jing Ming’s wife has also married in, and towards this Head of the Hong Lu Office family’s di daughter, her status was relatively honorable, but wasn’t pretentious either. While she wasn’t really considered that good of a mother-in-law, she absolutely didn’t make things difficult for her either, freely letting the couple live out their own days.
A bunch of little ones all smilingly thanked Jing Wan, saying big sister wangfei this and big sister wangfei that, that sweet mouth full of auspicious words spilling out. The ones that were clumsy with their mouth also anxiously followed along, but the more nervous they were, the more they stuttered, amusing everyone. Lastly, it was Luo Jing De’s eldest son. Although able to walk, he wasn’t that stable, tottering along, especially cute. Unwilling to be left out, he also moved forward, mumblingly calling out ‘big sister wangfei’ along with the older ones.
His mother, little Wang-shi, followed by his side, lightly spanking his little butt, saying with a laugh, “Little brat, what are you saying, need to say paternal aunt wangfei, paternal aunt, understand?”
Jing Wan reached out to have the little guy picked up. This child, while in the womb, had always been unwell. Although later, they’d found the cause, and didn’t have a premature birth, but he was still relatively weak. After raising for more than a year, he was now plump and chubby, especially cute.
“Wangfei, don’t hold him, this boy likes to move around, very naughty, be careful of him injuring you.”
“How can that be.” In reality, Jing Wan indeed held him firmly. With her strength, would she not be able to hold down this little guy?
Luo Old Madam reached out to squeeze the little guy’s chubby hand, “Rui’er normally is somewhat shy with strangers, but is rather close with Wan Wan. It has already been more than half a year, but seemingly still remembers.”
“Of course, our Rui’er can’t possibly forget his paternal aunt wangfei, no? If not for your paternal aunt wangfei, don’t even know of you can even be born.” Little Wang-shi said with a smile. This was the meat of her heart, unbearably precious, and every time recalling that he might have been lost that time, she would just feel a burst of pain inside.
“That’s just our Rui’er’s fate being like so.” These pure and adorable children, Jing Wan very much liked. If really gone, she certainly would feel unwell inside.
“Aunty, aunty………” Rui’er happily cried out in Jing Wan’s arms, randomly wiggling around.
“Rui’er also agrees with paternal aunt’s words?” Jing Wan smiled, and couldn’t help but kiss his little cheek.

The little guy clung onto Jing Wan’s face and just kissed back.
This time, even Luo Old Madam all laughed, “If your uncle-in-law were to see, you will probably get sorted out.”
Jing Wan’s face now has become much thicker, not batting an eye at her own grandmother’s teasing. The others also laughed along, including those little ones. Although they didn’t understand, they still happily laughed.
“Sure is lively.” Sun Yi Jia came in carrying her own daughter, Xuan’er.
And perhaps seeing a little big brother, that little one also reached out towards this side.
“Oh, this little one is also one that recognizes people.” Someone to the side joked.
Sun Yi Jia was also straightforward, directly having Xuan’er carried over.
Thus, Jing Wan had one on each lap. The two little ones were also very familiar with one another, very much intimate.
“For wangfei to like children this much, when will you also give birth to one or two yourself? If I have to say, perhaps already have one right now?”
Even if disliked by Jing Wan, they would still be unwilling to be left out, wanting to come promote their existence. Just, once these words came out, Jing Wan didn’t express anything, but everyone else all fell silent. Little Wang-shi and Sun Yi Jia both hurriedly reached out, wanting to having the children taken back. If really pregnant, and these two children mess around, if there’s any mishap…………
“Don’t worry, nothing of the sort. The manor doctor of the qinwang manor checks the pulse at all times. Besides, if there’s peculiarities with this body, I more or less would detect. I’m perfectly fine.” However, in the end, she was still restricted by her status, so Jing Wan didn’t continue holding the two children.
Once the children were returned, this topic also just got brushed over, and didn’t get mentioned again.
Afterwards, the people of the third branch and fourth branch arrived practically one after another. What Jing Wan noticed this time was naturally that unfamiliar face————-her second sister-in-law, Zhao-shi, Head of the Hong Lu Office’s di daughter. Although not very beautiful, she was still delicate and pretty, very pleasant to look at, smiling before speaking, appearing to also have a pretty good temperament. “Finally got to meet second sister-in-law today.”
“Greetings wangfei.” Zhao-shi curtsied.
“All one’s own family, so no need to be this formal. ——-Qing Zhu.”
Qing Zhu who was serving to the side hurriedly had small box in hand offered up. Jing Wan received it in hand, “When second sister-in-law married in, I was still in Jiangnan. This is a bit of my kindly feelings for second sister-in-law, hope second sister-in-law won’t disdain.” The other happy matter, Jing Wan didn’t know about, just this marriage arrangement, she was aware of. Prior to their wedding, although she’d already sent gifts back, this greeting gift still needed to be added. Reasonably speaking, it should be Jing Wan receiving a gift. Unfortunately, her status was higher, so just became the one giving the gift.
Zhao-shi hurriedly accepted, “Thanking wangfei. One all can’t help but feel happy, so how can one disdain.”
“Looking at second sister-in-law, just know that second sister-in-law is a good one. In the future, if second brother bullies you, just let me know. I will help you sort him out.”
Zhao-shi blushed, softly muttering, “Husband treats me extremely well.”
As the new wife that married in not long ago, she naturally became the target of everyone’s ‘teasing’.
For a moment, it was full of laughter, very much lively. Just, Jing Wan inadvertently noticed that little Wang-shi’s smile was somewhat forced, clearly having some worries at heart.
After a period of liveliness, Luo Old Madam just had everyone sent out, off to do what they should be doing.
“I know that you, Yi Jia and Qiao Qiao have private matters to talk about, so just go.” Luo Old Madam seemingly impatiently waved her hand at Jing Wan.
Jing Wan coiled around Luo Old Madam’s arm, “Grandmother, this is disdaining this granddaughter.”
“Naughty.” Luo Old Madam poked her forehead, “Quickly go.”
Jing Wan smilingly nodded, “Oh right, grandmother, I saw that eldest sister-in-law was somewhat off, did something happen?”
Luo Old Madam’s expression dulled, “What else can there be, someone in your eldest’s room got pregnant. As long as a woman, all won’t be happy.” In the beginning, when little Wang-shi’s pregnancy was unstable, she would still say a few words, but now, naturally she was too lazy to deal with. Besides, even the matters in her own son’s room, she all didn’t interfere in, so who would still have the patience to interfere in one’s own grandson’s.
Jing Wan slightly furrowed her brow, but could only sigh. Truthfully speaking, even if it was her own full-blooded brother, her not allowing him to touch any other woman aside from her third sister-in-law, that was actually already overstepping her authority, so she absolutely had no reason to still interfere onto her tang brother’s head. “Why don’t grandmother reveal a little that I don’t like concubines.”
Luo Old Madam glanced at Jing Wan, sighing, “This girl, still this way.”
Jing Wan was unconcerned, “It can’t be helped. Not liking is just not liking. Regardless of how many lifetimes, this bit will never change. Eldest sister-in-law is a pretty good woman, so if able to help a little, then I will help out a little. Any more, I’m also unable to do anything either. However, if wangye…………My preferences probably will influence certain people’s official career.”
Luo Old Madam didn’t doubt these words. If Jin Qinwang’s feelings towards her granddaughter never change, then regardless of whether it’s because of Jing Wan, or Jin Qinwang himself, the more concubines one had in the rear court, especially the ones that favored the concubine and neglect the wife, absolutely won’t have a good time in front of him. Everything else aside———-Even this emperor all just stay by one’s wife alone, yet you all as subjects hold one left and right, what is the meaning of this? If angering his wife, making her unhappy, then further needed to be skinned, and skinned to death.
“Eldest brother is the first branch’s eldest son, and in the future, will inherit the family property, upholding the family status. As the main branch’s head of the family, to instead have the other clansmen get all the glory, afraid, in terms of face, won’t look good.”
