Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 196.2: Emotionally Moved, Long Time No See

“This must be your esteemed manor’s third miss, really is a beautiful and charming person.” She appropriately smiled and looked to Li Hong Yuan, “Speaking of which, wangye really is blessed………” Afterwards, she clearly sensed that stabbing feeling weakening a lot. Unexpectedly, she actually betted right. However, Jin Qinwang’s care towards Luo third miss practically made one apprehensive.

“Mama overpraises.” Jing Wan faintly smiled.

Because of Luo third miss’s famous reputation outside, even though she’d never met before, towards her bearing and demeanor being extremely outstanding, this bit, she was still very clear of. Originally because of Luo Jing Ying’s matter, towards this bit, she very much doubted, but looking at it now, she immediately knew where the problem was. That one was nothing more than ‘failing to paint a tiger instead resembling a dog’^[1]. Because she composed herself for a moment, after the image shattered, the impression she gave people just became increasingly worse, and now comparing with the real one, it was practically just the difference between the luminous moon and the light of a firefly. She inwardly pitied. The one to enter their wangye’s rear court, why wasn’t it this young miss? As it side consort, she was perfectly adequate.

Just as Liu mama was lost in thought, something suddenly flew over. In shock, she hurriedly dodged, but ultimately wasn’t able to avoid, her shoulder getting hit. Not only did she get a body of water stains, there was also that bone penetrating pain. Meeting with that overflowing dark aura of Li Hong Yuan’s, practically wanting to skin her alive, she ultimately wasn’t able to hold up anymore, instantly kneeling onto the ground. And the tea cup just happened to shatter by her foot, so kneeling down like this, what hurt wasn’t just her shoulder. “Wangye……….”

“This prince’s wangfei is also someone he, Li Hong Ming, dares to have delusions about?”

“Wangye, you’ve misunderstood, this servant was just, just………..”

“Noisy.”

Liu mama shut her mouth. Never mind uttering a sound, she didn’t even dared to breath.

Li Hong Yuan picked up the chopsticks, leisurely beginning to eat the noodles.

This bowl of noodles appeared appetizing and fragrant. Moreover, this was ultimately something for a qinwang, so there definitely wasn’t just the noodles, but also a few small side dishes, all crisp and refreshing side dishes.

The flavor was indeed pretty good. Li Hong Yuan ate calmly and carefreely. Jing Wan also couldn’t conveniently leave at this time either.

His movements were rather quick. The bowl of noodles, for the most part, all entered his stomach, and the side dishes he also more or less finished.

After he placed down his chopsticks and rinsed his mouth, he looked towards Jing Wan, “That fourth younger sister of yours is pregnant, do you want to go have a look? It just so happens, this prince needs to go ask Li Hong Ming, how he’s training his servants.”

“Fourth younger sister?” Jing Wan slightly blanked, and then glanced at Liu mama, softly smiling, “Everyone in the entire Luo Manor all know that this subject and fourth younger sister are like fire and water. Right now, she’s precious like gold, so if this subject were to go see her now, what if by chance one were to have her angered into a bad state, how can that be good? Presumably, Rui Qinwang is fond of his children, so when time comes, this subject is unable to shoulder such responsibility.”

“Of the entire Luo family, the ones to have come out, it’s just the five of you all. Sir Luo and your older brother naturally don’t need to be mentioned. Luo Old Madam is her grandmother, but now she’s just a concubine. Regardless whether it’s status or seniority in the family clan, old madam lowering herself to go see her, afraid, will shorten her longevity. Speaking of which, there’s just your elder sister-in-law that’s somewhat fitting……………”

“Elder sister-in-law’s body just improved a little, so how is she able to go out?” Jing Wan resolutely overruled. The Ding Duchess had made such a violent disturbance in front of the Luo family residence that day, so inside and outside the imperial summer residence, there probably weren’t that many people that didn’t know this matter.

“That’s why, now, there’s just you left. If you and this prince were married, in terms of status, it’s naturally very inappropriate. Right now, you’ll just be humbling yourself a little. She although is just concubine, and you all also don’t like her, but for better or worse, she still has the Luo surname, coming from the Head Minister of Appointments Manor. Even if as a concubine, that’s still a little more honorable than others, no? People that flatter the high and step on the low are everywhere. In the Rui Qinwang Manor, she represents the Luo family. When others are stepping on her, they will probably also have a kind of pleasure from stepping on the Luo family. Moreover, Wan Wan doesn’t want to personally see her?” Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled.

Jing Wan although was somewhat swooned by that attractive smile of his, she however wasn’t really muddled. The meaning in these words seemingly was like helping Luo Jing Ying, but no matter how one listened to it, it didn’t sound right. Jin Qinwang occasionally would do some things that he probably wouldn’t do normally. According to Jing Wan’s interpretation, it was just being out of character. However, these things seemingly were indirectly related to her, and the outcome also very refreshing. And now, he seemingly was doing the same thing again, carrying a bit of mischievousness.

Personally meeting Luo Jing Ying, letting her tell Rui Qinwang, Luo Jing Ying’s place in the Luo family, and as long as she shatters Rui Qinwang’s last bit of delusion, Luo Jing Ying’s days in the future, one can well imagine. Thinking of it like this, she seemingly was a bit excited. There’s a saying called, what was it again? ‘Knowing she’s unwell, I will be happy.’ Personally seeing her walk towards that bad end step by step, won’t it just make one even more happy? Alright, Jing Wan actually wasn’t that bored. Paying too much attention to someone like Luo Jing Ying was very meaningless.

Li Hong Yuan saw from Jing Wan’s face her lack of interest. He understood Jing Wan’s personality. People that were insignificant to her, she just never cared about. Regardless of how Luo Jing Ying bounces around, it actually all won’t affect her. She has always been aware of what she needed, and won’t lose herself, straying onto a different path. This in itself wasn’t wrong, but Jing Wan didn’t know, sometimes, little people can also stir up big waves. Although this kind of possibility was very low, the best method was still to just have this kind of possibility completely eradicated. The people that view you as an enemy, you need to directly stomp to death. Even if because of some reasons, it wasn’t good to directly put to death, one still needs to step on the other party until they are unable to fight back.

However, since Wan Wan wasn’t interested, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to go, indeed not worth caring about.”

“Go, why not go?”

“As long as you’re happy.” Li Hong Yuan somewhat helplessly said.

This kind of pampering indulgence returned again. Jing Wan rather uncomfortably averted her eyes. Never mind in private, but to also do it in front of this many people. Can’t you slightly restrain yourself a little?

During the time in the mountain valley, Luo Pei Shan had already witnessed this side of Li Hong Yuan, so this while, he didn’t take it that seriously anymore. And Luo Old Madam, after a slight surprise, also returned to peace, like as if she didn’t detect anything at all.

Rather, it was Liu mama, who had her head lowered, that was very much trying to cover up the shock in her eyes.

Li Hong Yuan’s ‘seven day pampering’ in the past, many people only just heard of before, because the chance to actually see weren’t many. However, Liu mama had the fortune of witnessing before. How should one put it, Jin Qinwang’s attitude towards those women was just being a little nicer on normal days. In her eyes, there really weren’t any real feelings mixed in, purely playing around for fun. And those women, after a few days, were just seduced by him to the point of struggling between life and death. It truly was very unbelievable.

However, now, she genuinely sensed his difference in attitude towards the Luo family’s third miss. If Jin Qinwang truly fell for her, then for her conduct earlier to have angered him, it was also logical.

Since she made the decision, Jing Wan just returned to change her clothes. Although she can already predict Luo Jing Ying’s future, Luo Jing Ying is pregnant right now after all, especially under the circumstance of Rui Qinwang not having any sons. Jing Wan understood her too well, she’s certainly going to be very proud of her accomplishments, and will also want to show off in front of her. When bored, teasing her for fun was actually a pretty good feeling. Thus, Jing Wan had herself vigorously dressed up, using the most extravagant clothes, and top quality head ornaments that matched in price and craftsmanship.

Jing Wan’s final look was even more luxurious than the outfit that the Grand Elder Princess prepared for her when acknowledging her as an adopted daughter. But because Jing Wan was able to uphold it, it caused her entire person to appear even more radiant and beautiful to the point that the rest of the world faded.

When Li Hong Yuan saw Jing Wan, even he blanked. He really was infatuated for Jing Wan.

Jing Wan’s facial features perhaps weren’t the most beautiful, but even if the world’s number one beauty stood next to her right now, still wouldn’t steal away her radiance in the slightest. Moreover, her skin was good, and her eyes shape also good, bright and lively, appearing exceptionally beautiful, her outstanding traits once again magnifying.

“Very pretty.” Li Hong Yuan praised. As expected, Wan Wan should precisely be this way.

Luo Old Madam also nodded in satisfaction. Regardless whether Jing Wan dressed plainly, or extravagantly, in her eyes, it all wasn’t a problem. Her granddaughter, no matter what, was just the best.

Jing Wan was somewhat unable to bear Li Hong Yuan’s intense gaze, her face slightly blushing as she turned towards Luo Old Madam. “Grandmother, fourth younger sister, in Rui Qinwang Manor, what she uses and wears, can it be better than this outfit of mine?” She somewhat slyly batted her eyes.

Luo Old Madam was immediately between laughter and tears, “All say women dress for one that pleases oneself.” Meaningfully casting Li Hong Yuan a glance, “Yet you’re specifically dressing to compete with someone?”

[1] The anecdote behind this idiom comes from the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, about a General called Ma Yuan who was extremely strict with his nephews, hoping they would become useful and talented people. He didn’t like how his nephews Ma Yan and Ma Dun would gossip behind people’s backs, so he wrote a letter telling them to learn from Long Bo Gao (someone who eventually became a governor of a province), and not learn from Du Ji Liang (a traveling hero), because if they are unable to become like Du Ji Liang, it’ll just be like trying to paint a tiger but failing, instead painting something that resembles a dog. Afterwards, this saying came to mean ‘aiming too high, ultimately achieving nothing, instead becoming a laughing stock’.
