Nangong Jing was a clever and docile child. He obediently listened to his elders. Because he was highly sensitive to other people’s facial expressions and emotional changes, he always seemed to use this to please everyone he met.
Song Jian had seen many people treading through life cautiously, and each time, she always felt a bit uneasy. This feeling was particularly pronounced this time since Nangong Jing was only six years old.
There was a time when she saw Nangong Jing accompanying Nangong Yue with the wet nurse before, and casually praised ‘A-Jing, you’re so patient with your sister’. After that, he always followed Nangong Yue around to protect her.
……For this child, a word of praise and affirmation might carry immense significance.
Song Jian had heard a saying before, ‘If you want someone to do something, compliment them in that direction.’.
“A-Jing, ” after Nangong Jing had settled down in his new home, Song Jian realized that there was another thing that needed to be addressed. He was already six years old but had never received any form of education. “Come here.”
Nangong Jing immediately came over obediently and timidly called, “Madam Song.”
Song Jian softened her voice and asked, “A-Jing, how would you feel if I were to find a teacher to teach you how to read and write?”
Nangong Jing showed a confused expression, “Read and Write?”
“That’s right. If A-Jing learns well, you can go to any place in the world you desire,” Song Jian encouraged.
Nangong Jing had no concept of how the world works, so he couldn’t understand the value of being able to freely go to any place he pleased.
He simply nodded timidly, as was his usual response, not knowing how to refuse, as if he would not resist no matter what was done to him.
Despite his attempts to suppress it, every time he interacted with someone, his eyes would betray the uneasiness and fear that he couldn’t contain. It was as if he was always afraid that the person in front of him might suddenly turn violent and hurt him.
Sensing this, Song Jian extended her hand towards him. Sure enough, Nangong Jing suddenly started to shake in fear and instinctively closed his eyes, looking as if he were ready to huddle down.
In fact, she just gently stroked his head.
Nangong Jing’s subconscious reaction was evidently a result of his mother’s unstable state of mind. She would often appear happy one moment, only to become violent the next, leaving him feeling immensely insecure.
This was a problem that couldn’t be solved in a short period. However, Song Jian felt that she could gradually build trust with him. At the very least, she had to make him feel safe by her side, so he wouldn’t cower in fear or become extremely nervous with every casual movement she made.
……
When Nangong Chun visited Nangong Yue again, Song Jian mentioned to Nangong Chun that she wanted to find a teacher for Nangong Jing. But upon hearing this, Nangong Chun frowned and displayed an expression that suggested he found the idea quite troublesome
He impatiently asked, “Is it really necessary?”
Song Jian replied, “I think A-Jing is very talented. He is very clever… It would be a pity if we waste his talent.”
Nangong Chun sneered disapprovingly upon hearing the words “talented” and “clever.” As the Demont Sect’s Leader and one of the protagonists, his character was designed to be a genius from his early years. He was a man full of arrogance and pride.
Additionally, he always had a haughty attitude, looking down on others, and currently, aside from Nangong Yue, he had no regard for anyone else.
However, his lack of concern for his own child suddenly made Song Jian feel angry, as it seemed to go against fundamental principles of human rights.
He’s really a scumbag……！
Don’t……Don’t……
Hold it, hold it……! I am working, I’m currently working!
Keep in mind the historical context of this era…… the historical context of this era……
Song Jian closed her eyes and calmed down a bit. She put on a gentle business voice and said, “Nonetheless… he is still your child… A-Jing may not be as skilled as you are in the martial world, but if he can’t even read a single word, wouldn’t that be quite laughable?”
Nangong Chun stared at her for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and remarked, “You’ve become much more outspoken than before.”
Song Jian was taken aback. She lowered her head and avoided eye contact.
“Fine. Ye. ” Nangong Chun nonchalantly called out a name and a man dressed in black suddenly appeared in front of him, kneeling on one knee.
He instructed, “Go and arrange for a suitable teacher.”
“Yes.”
The man in black bowed his head and immediately disappeared again
Song Jian knew that this was a ‘Shadow Guard’.
Just as Nangong Chun’s surname followed ancient customs, Nangong Chun’s Shadow Guard was named after “Ye” in accordance with the same tradition.
In those days, the names of the shadow guards seemed to revolve around words like “Ye1“, “An2“, “Shang3“, “Xue4“, and the like. Compared to “Shang”, “Ye” was considered a relatively better name.
Seeing that Song Jian was staring at the spot where the shadow guard had appeared and disappeared, seemingly quite concerned about it, Nangong Chun’s lips curled in a mocking manner. He said, “What’s the matter, are you thinking about how to deal with the shadow guards so that you can kill me or escape?”
Upon hearing this, Song Jian quickly withdrew her gaze and, to be on the safe side, continued to bow her head and remain silent.
But Nangong Chun was still staring at her and sighed, “Since the birth of Yue-er, your personality has indeed changed a lot.”
Song Jian replied somewhat vaguely, “ After all…… I am a mother now.”
Nangong Chun continued to stare at her as if evaluating whether becoming a mother could truly make a person change so much.
As if sensing his doubts, Song Jian suddenly added in a whisper, “I want to protect Yue-er.”
Nangong Chun felt as if he had just been questioned and said with some displeasure, “Who do you think could hurt her?!”
Song Jian put on a somewhat sad face and said, “… with your attitude towards the child A-Jing as a precedent, if you were in my shoes, what would you feel?”
Nangong Chun fell silent and because of his rare sense of guilt for being in the wrong, he instead became angry, saying, “How dare you speak to me with that tone?”
There was a time when she played the role of an underworld leader’s mistress in a certain task world. While one world was set in modern society and the other in a martial arts world, these two characters undeniably shared some similarities in certain aspects.
They must not be opposed.
They must not be questioned.
Moreover, when it comes to investing emotions, they’re very cautious.
However, once they tolerate someone’s close presence, they may not find it so easy to let go of that person.
So far, Song Jian felt that Nangong Chun’s initial fondness for “The Number One Beauty in The World” seemed to have not dissipated.
Sometimes, people could sense the chemistry between them and the other person, whether it’s a negative or positive attraction.
So, even though Nangong Chun displayed anger, Song Jian wasn’t overly concerned. However, for the future, she probably had to come up with a way to make him happy later.
But for now, Song Jian chose to ignore Nangong Chun’s anger and remained silent.
