Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 121.4

Sun Old Madam wasn't one to be looked down on either.

After thinking through the crucial points, Li Hong Yuan also temporarily bided his time, quietly waiting for the matters afterwards.

Sun Old Madam returned to the manor, and returned to her own courtyard, directly ordering the servants that aside from Sun Yi Lin, she won't meet with anyone else.

Thus the Ding Duke and Sun Yi Bin, as well as Li Hong Yi, this honored as a qinwang outer grandson^[1], all met with the door to their nose. They wanted to clearly explain to her how grim the current state of affairs were, needing her to come to their aid. But if they can't even see her in person, then no matter how many mental outlines they draw out, it would all be useless.

For Li Hong Yi, this was his first time receiving a cold shoulder from his maternal grandmother, and more or less felt somewhat annoyed. But thinking about how even his imperial mother can't even do anything about maternal grandmother, what can he do?

Li Hong Yi, however, never once thought about how he has actually never been intimate with Sun Old Madam all that much either, always carrying the airs of an imperial prince. Since that's the case, Sun Old Madam naturally also just venerated him as someone from the imperial family. If he was able to be like a normal grandson, even if she was cold towards the Empress, she would still be warm towards him. After all, he was her only outer grandson, would she really not love him?

(T/N: It's only been stated that Sun Old Madam has two daughters, the Empress and Cheng Jun-wangfei. And Cheng Jun-wangfei doesn't have a son, only Li Ru Yu.)

But now that he's discovered that she has use, he was rushing forward just like that, what did he take her for? So naturally don't blame her for pulling a long face.

That's why, these feelings really did go both ways.

Unable to meet the person, they naturally could only think of other ways.

Thus, when Sun Yi Lin returned from the palace, he got blocked by a bunch of people. Everyone all had the same intention———–your grandmother is currently waiting for you.

Sun Yi Lin may be the inner court scribe, but at the time, he wasn't in the imperial study. Thus, when he learned that his grandmother directly looked for his Majesty, he was also quite surprised. Rather, he never once thought that his grandmother would have such a generous hand.

Sun Yi Lin also roughly understood what the current circumstances were. Rather, he can temporarily hide from it, but one can hide hide for a moment, but can't hide for a lifetime. Moreover, if he were to hesitate in the slightest, Sun Yi Bin will probably pin him an unfilial label. Since they've already made up their minds, wanting to follow him to go see grandmother, then there was no room for him to shrink back.

Sun Yi Lin just went along with their wishes, not even changing his clothes, just heading directly to his grandmother's courtyard.

Would the servants guarding the courtyard only let Sun Yi Lin go in alone and not let the others in? Not a single one of these people was good to offend. Previously, they were all trembling as they blocked the people outside, yet now, they didn't dare to in the slightest.

Sun Old Madam's excuse for brushing them off was that she was resting, and in reality, she indeed was resting.

At the moment, she also just sent a mama out to deliver her word, “Fifth young master, old madam said to let someone look for a matchmaker to go to the Luo family to promote^[2] young master, and then prepare for official proposal arrangements afterwards. As for the specifics, can just let madam handle, if there's nothing important, no need to come disturb her. Even for coming to pay her respect, in the future, all changed to the first and the fifteenth.”

Very good, this was clearly wanting to have them all blocked outside, not even meeting Sun Yi Lin.

“Trouble mama to reply to grandmother that this grandson understands and will take one's leave first.” With that said, Sun Yi Lin resolutely walked away.

The others naturally were unwilling to leave just like this, especially Sun Yi Bin. If he was able to obtain his grandmother's support, then seizing control of the Ding Duke Manor would practically be as easy as turning one's hand. Steadying his heart, he directly charged towards the inner room. The servants all weren't able to block him.

“Grandmother, this grandson is here to………ah—-” Followed by the sound of something shattering on the ground.

Before Sun Yi Bin could even finish speaking, he just saw something fly over, precisely hitting his forehead, fresh blood steadily flowing out.

“Get lost——–” Even if there was blood, Sun Old Madam still wasn't moved in the slightest.

Sun Yi Bin didn't dare to believe. Even if grandmother in the past didn't like him all that much, it still wasn't to the point of disgust, let alone directly throwing something at him? But, not waiting for him to speak again, Sun Old Madam grabbed something else and threw it.

Sun Yi Bin ran out in a panic, nearly colliding with the people who'd heard his voice and rushed in.

Everyone saw his forehead full of blood, and didn't dare to continue going further in, quickly calling for the manor doctor.

Sun Yi Lin found the Ding Duchess and had the situation explained to her.

The Ding Duchess blanked. She was a woman of the back manor after all. Setting aside the matters that involved herself, the matters of the palace, she naturally wouldn't know about that quickly, and even if a bunch of people gathered in their home, with the Ding Duke present, there wasn't any need for her to do anything. Moreover, this kind of thing was very common. Thus, until Sun Yi Lin told her, she was completely unaware of what had happened.

Her own son's marriage, in the end, she was the last to know about? Moreover, just letting her look for the matchmaker to prepare for the proposal, the rest all don't need for her to participate in, let alone ask for her opinion, what is all this? She was the esteemed Ding Duchess, the matriarch in charge of the household, yet fell to this level? Also the old madam, clearly after giving up the power to her, has never interfered with the big and small matters of the manor, and previously has never interfered in the children's marriage before either, yet now did something like this, how will this make her look? Those zhoulis^[3] will definitely secretly laugh at her again.

Sun Yi Lin although was incredibly talented and intelligent, but towards the thoughts of women, he really was completely clueless. Rather, he had heard about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law being enemies, this kind of remark before, and as the son, the more one admired and leaned towards one's wife, the more unhappy one's mother would be. Seeing his mother's expression, he couldn't help furrowing his brows, “Mother, do you really dislike the Luo family's third miss that much?”

Because of Sun Yi Lin's words, the Ding Duchess nearly collapsed in anger. This brat only thought of that person, simply not considering his own mother's feelings at all, “Yes, I still don't like her, are you not going to marry?”

“Mother, stop it, grandmother has already looked for his Majesty.”

The Ding Duchess heavily heaved, her chest rising and falling continuously. Heh, just look, just look, this was precisely the good son she raised painstakingly for ten some years, yet she couldn't compare to an outsider that he's only met a handful of times. Each and every one all just a damn ingrate. “Get lost!”

“Mother……..” Sun Yi Lin very much headached. Originally a happy matter, must it become like this?

The Ding Duchess coldly snorted, “What, afraid that I might ruin your good matter? Don't worry, your grandmother has personally spoke, even if I have ten guts, I still wouldn't dare disobey her.”

Sun Yi Lin felt drained inside. He just didn't understand, what conflict could there possibly between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, why must it be like this? “Then one will just trouble mother. I still have a bit of matters to attend to, so will be taking one's leave first.”

Seeing Sun Yi Lin's departing back, Ding Duchess was both angry and heartbroken, feeling wronged.
