If his guess is correct, then Wan Wans original age shouldnt be too big either, and born of an uncommon background. And after encountering great misfortune, she rapidly matured. However, this change didnt make her become dark, blaming the heavens and resenting the people, but rather, made her tough and unyielding, undaunted by repeated setbacks, having all the wind and frost transform into a grindstone, and having herself polished into a piece of the most delicate treasure jade, blossoming magnificently. And at her side, perhaps there was also someone similar to Luo Old Madam, this kind of wise and farsighted elder. Thats why she was able to have that ability to oversee everything, even if it was only for show. Of course, not excluding the possibility that it was Luo Old Madams influence. But, a person, whose nature has already formed, was actually very difficult to be influence again. He himself was the best example.

He was very certain, the current Wan Wan was still the same person from his past life. He sometimes had the reason to doubt that the her back then was precisely someone who possessed an extraordinary history. After all, the Luo family, that kind of place that can be said to be simple and peaceful, for what reason was there to raise that kind of girl. Moreover, in this life, hed long understood Wan Wans life. In her childhood, she was quiet, clever, precocious, and often times people would feel she wasnt like a child. And as she got older, this kind of out of sorts feeling finally dispersed slowly. Even now, if one doesnt carefully pay attention, then for the most part, she matched her age. Did that mean that the her right now was currently approaching her true age? Then, it was very obvious, she wasnt inserted midway, but rather, from the start, she was precisely the Luo familys third miss to begin with, and there doesnt exist another Luo Jing Wan.

Only by linking these together can one finally explain the little doubtful points found on Wan Wan.

Gongbi painting never once appeared in history before, so Wan Wans origins was worth pondering over. She probably wasnt like him, repeating the same life again, but possibly similar to reincarnating into the Luo family carrying a lifetime of memories from another world?

Li Hong Yuan reached out and covered his eyes. Although this was just his guess, the possibility was very high.

Li Hong Yuan suddenly began crazily laughing, Hey, Wan Wan, you ought to be mine. Were practically a match made in heaven. Regardless whether youre an old monster, or delicate young miss in your prime, regardless whether youre an immortal from the ninth heavens, or a demon from the netherworld, even if youre a man, since youve fallen into my eyes, then in this lifetime, dont think about escaping. As for the secrets on you, no matter, this prince can slowly dig, and have you peeled open layer by layer, exposing your most tender and most delicate innards, hehe.

Jing Wan suddenly shivered a little. Why did she strangely have a kind of feeling like she was getting watched by a beast again? She subconsciously lifted her head and looked around. There doesnt seem to be anything particular.

Wang-shi couldnt help but sigh, Mother, its still you that knows how to instruct. Inside, she was also a little jealous. Her own eldest daughter was also raise in front of Luo Old Madam before, but how come she wasnt raised to be this outstanding.

Luo Old Madam although was happy, but, This, I can not take credit for. Raising Wan Wan, Ive always thought to have spoiled her more, so for her to be like this now, is all on her own. Sometimes, even I find it strange. With her father and mother like that, how were they able to give birth to a child that was completely different from them in personality? However, this way was also very good. Those two were both the unreliable type. Although Luo Old Madam liked her second son, she sometimes still very much disdained him.

Third girl takes after you and father.

Although these words were flattery, Luo Old Madam was still happy to hear them.

Among the noble madams, there were still quite a few that recognized Wang-shi, thus Luo Old Madams identity was self-evident. Theyd all heard that shed just entered the capital not long ago, so the young misses at her side must be the Luo Familys remaining few young misses. Those that were tempted couldnt help approaching, first making some friendly connections. And those that were slightly more familiar naturally began talking about their childrens marriages, Your familys third miss, from looks, doesnt seem too old, does she have an engagement?

Luo Old Madam smiled, Just got engaged a few days ago.

Oh my, didnt you all just enter the capital not long ago? How come she got engaged this fast, was it agreed on long ago?

Not really, it was brought up after we entered the capital.

Which dignified noble familys young master is it then? Presumably must be a first class handsome gentleman, thus one is uneasy, else there wouldnt be the need to be this anxious, no?

Luo Old Madams smile weakened a little. In societys eyes, getting engage this fast must mean that the other partys status is very prominent, and if one is slow, theyll be snatched by others. Not some dignified noble family, just the grandnephew of my maiden family, merely just a candidate for the imperial exam. That younger brother of mine has also retired to the countryside some time ago.

That madam was obviously very surprised, and quite a few people in the surrounding was also more or less the same. Afterwards, their gaze once again, intentionally or otherwise, landed on Jing Wan. Seeing such a good girl, could it be that she has some unspeakable illness? Else, why would they pick such a person to get engaged to? Or could it be that this young miss only appeared well-regarded, but in actuality didnt receive Luo Old Madams favor? Or perhaps, this Luo Old Madam, despite being in her elderly years, was still thinking of the people of her maiden family, wanting to shove anything good back to her maiden family?

In this short amount of time, they immediately pictured dozens of different possibilities, but not a single one was identical to Luo Old Madams original intentions. What kind of person was Luo Old Madam? How could she not understand what they were thinking? Our familys third girl is a pure-hearted one. Places that are too complicated, she definitely wont live well. For her, rather than brocade garments and jade meals, a life of luxury, shed much rather have a simple and ordinary life. As her grandmother, I dont expect for her to be able to bring this family anything either. As long as she lives well and according to her wishes, and her in-laws and her husband treat her well, and dont have a pile of messy worries, it is enough for me.

Luo Old Madams words made the people in the surrounding somewhat embarrassed. These words appear to be plain, like she was just talking about her own familys young miss, but to people like them, who only ever speak of dignified noble families and status, it was somewhat soul-crushing. To have her underlying meaning put bluntly, it was just, you all, who only think of benefits, not at all considering whether or not your own familys daughters will truly be happy, are practically unfit to be ones mother.

Since there was nothing inherently wrong with Luo Old Madams words in itself, even if they understood some of her hidden meaning, they couldnt lash out and could only walk to the side with embarrassed expressions. And those that felt Luo Old Madams words were extremely right, all couldnt help coming forward, consulting Luo Old Madam on her experiences in child rearing. She although said she didnt take credit, but with such a elegant and refined young lady placed there, who would believe it?

Since they wanted to asked, Luo Old Madam wasnt stingy either. In reality, those things werent anything that needed to be concealed, but most was still on Jing Wan herself. At such a time, she also was the same as those elders who liked to show off their own familys child. Besides, its not like she was exaggerating, purposefully raising Jing Wans status. There wasnt the need, no?

Oh my, is your familys miss really that good at raising flowers?

Certainly, that girl doesnt have any other hobbies, just fond of those plants and flowers. Those that she raises, even her grandfather wants to get his hands on, yet doesnt dare to raise them himself, fearing he might accidentally ruin them. Hed be heartbroken to death.

Our familys child also likes plants and flowers, yet is a flower destroyer, killing every one theyve raised.

Then most likely, theres places they didnt pay attention to. Our familys third girl treat those rare and valuable breeds all very carefreely, yet those breeds all grow very well. According to her, one should just pay attention to what one needs to pay attention to. Theres no need to be that cautious.

If one has to say, its that your familys miss has a connection with nature, even the plants and flowers all become spirited with her.

These words made even Luo Old Madam cant help but laugh out loud.

T/N: So very important, I made a mistake in translation on one of the characters name. Tbh you cant really blame me because this surname is wayyyy too obscure, and it has that double meaning. The Fifth Head Magistrate, turns out, Fifth[ Diwu] was his surname, it also literally means fifth, but it is an actual surname. I came across it at the very bottom of the Hundred Family Surnames book and came to realization. And because it is an error in translation I will have to change it in past chapters and subsequent chapters. He will now be called Head Magistrate Diwu. Thank god he only appears in a few chapters so far. If theyd given his full name I wouldve been less confused. Sighhhhs.
