Chapter 199: It’s really Hard to Be a Man (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
On hearing it was a letter from the old lady, Rong Yi quickly leaned on Yin Jinye’s shoulder, “Let me see what my mother-in-law has written to you in the letter.”
Yin Jinye, “…”
Hearing that the way Rong Yi called the old lady mother-in-law like a newly married wife, Xinghe found it so funny. Recently Rong Yi became more and more unbridled before the lord, and the lord also became more and more spoiled on Rong Yi.
His eyes were lingering between those two. Though the lord was as indifferent as before, he could feel clearly that those two became more and more intimate, like a real couple. Oh, no! More like an old couple!
Yin Jinye then sat down and opened the letter.
Rong Yi leafed through quickly. It simply said that Qi Lan was deeply obsessed in it this time and told the old lady again and again that he would marry no one else but Yin Jinye. Qi Lan also wrote letters to other elders of Yin Family and promised that if Qi Family would like to unite by marriage with Qi Family, Qi Lan would be willing to cooperate with them to make Yin Family prosperous. Of course that was what those elders were happy to see. So they all went to convince the old lady to persuade Yin Jinye. The old lady knew that Qi Lan didn’t love her son at all, and her son also took Qi Lan only as his senior brother. So she sent Immortal Guiyi a message trying to ask him to persuade Qi Lan to drop that idea. But instead of receiving a reply from Immortal Guiyi, Qi Lan’s letter came first, urging to marry Yin Jinye after the New Year.
Now the old lady felt as if her head was gonna explode. On one hand, Yin Family had owed Qi Lan too much. She couldn’t bear to see Qi Lan suffer any more. And she was the old lady of Yin Family, and should consider things on the basis of the whole family. And the best outcome was that Qi Family and Yin Family could unite by marriage. On the other hand, it was her son. She didn’t have the heart to force his son to marry someone he didn’t love, and also didn’t want her grandsons to part with their daddy at such a young age. So she who was caught in a dilemma decided to leave it to those elders. If they could convince Yin Jinye, she would immediately hold the wedding for them.
So in a few days two elders from Yin Family would come to Haishan Town to lobby Yin Yejin. If Yin Jinye really didn’t want to marry Qi Lan, he could only use all kinds of excuses to hang it up there until Qi Lan drop the thought, which was on the off chance.
At last, the old lady mentioned that she missed her grandsons very much and hoped that Yin Jinye could go back with her two grandsons to take over everything, so she could enjoy her old age in peace.
Leaning before the letter, Rong Yi said sullenly, “It seems the harder I go against Qi Lan, the more he would like to piss me off using the marriage thing. He just wouldn’t give us a break.”
The only good thing was that the old lady was a rather reasonable person. At least she didn’t force her son due to her own guiltiness.
Yin Jinye slightly frowned and asked Xinghe, “Which two elders do you think my family would send here as the persuaders?”
Xinghe said without hesitation, “It should be the second elder and third elder. Both of them are very capable. They know how to use the stick and carrot thing, and also they would use all kinds of dirty means to force you to agree.”
Yin Jinye also thought it should be those two.
Rong Yi heaved a sigh, “If Qi Lan weren’t your senior brother, I should have killed him last time, in case he keeps haunting on us.”
Yin Jinye, “…”
Xinghe said, “If something really happened to Childe Qi, Qi Family would never let you go and the old lady also wouldn’t accept you.”
“Oh! It’s really hard to be a man!”
Xinghe smiled.
“Enough, it’s enough.” Rong Yi then took up the drawing and shook it before Yin Jinye and Xinghe, “If they don’t accept me or crowd me out, I will let them know they shouldn’t look at someone through the crack of the door(in English, it means ‘look down on someone’). Talk to you later. I’ll go to see my disciples.”
After finding Xiang Lv, he asked him first to buy those ingredients and then refine them according to the drawings he gave him.
That night inside the formation of Rong Family had exploding sound now and then. Xinghe and others caught bunch of ghost cultivators, evil cultivators and beast cultivators who tried to sneak into the mansion. And they confessed they were here for Rong Yi’s enchanted runes. As for how Xinghe dealt with those people, Rong Yi also had no idea. Anyway, he never heard from those people since then. In the next few days, some cultivators still tried to sneak into the mansion, but since the news that those who sneaked into the mansion never went out spread out, gradually, no one dared to try to sneak in ever again.
People were guessing that maybe those people already got killed. But before the truth was revealed, people’s attention already switched to other things. Recently they heard that Qi Yueshi’s clothes shop published a lot of new products. It was some high quality magic weapons refined with low level ingredients which were sold at a cheaper price compared with those of the same quality.
On hearing that, people all swarmed into the shop. After they saw those magic weapons, no one wasn’t amazed. Though Qi Yueshi didn’t tell who refined them, they already thought it was Rong Yi on seeing the word ‘Rong’ inscribed on it.
