Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife
Chapter 320: Stomping Hard on the Torn Face
Chapter 320: Stomping Hard on the Torn Face
“This is simply just two different matters, how can they be confused with one another? Yu Han, towards Guan Guan, you have deeply rooted feelings, for you to treat her grand-niece like this is further an insult towards her. Moreover, as an elder, for you to behave as such before the younger generation, it’s practically just not knowing self-respect. What you’re losing isn’t just your own face…………..”
Hearing this, Min Yu Han directly laughed out loud, seemingly as if hearing the funniest joke in the world, “Uncle, these words of yours are quite interesting. If Guan Guan were to find out under the springs[1] that you, this father, prepare to have her grand-niece sent to her son as a concubine, perhaps she’ll directly crawl out from her grave. Face? Exactly who doesn’t have face?”
The Pei clan leader’s expression actually changed a little, somewhat carrying a bit of dangerousness as he looked to Min Yu Han. This matter was still in the works. In the Pei family, the people that knew can all be counted on one hand, so how did Min Yu Han find out? Are there others in the Min clan that know? One has to know, this matter, prior to accomplishing, if known by outsiders, afraid will overflow with twists and turns. “Could it be that Yu Han heard some rumors somewhere, for you to produce this kind of misunderstanding?” For some things, one ultimately need to find the source and and extinguish it.
“Misunderstanding?” Min Yu Han patiently and carefully explained to him his deduction and findings, “Uncle, tell me, where did I misunderstand?”
The Pei clan leader’s heart slightly relaxed. If it was just this, it was rather easy to take care of, but he suddenly felt that Min Yu Han’s perceptiveness and also his interest towards the Pei clan was seemingly a bit excessive, making the Pei clan leader produce certain connections. If really so, one will have to think of a way to have the person disposed of. This kind of person, for the Pei clan, was a threat. “Yu Han has indeed misunderstood, precisely………..”
“Uncle dares to vow to the heavens that such plans don’t exist, and in the future, further won’t do this? And if one does this, the Pei clan will from then on perish, the nine relations no longer existing.” Min Yu Han’s voice was chilly, his gaze burning, and what was said was practically just the most malicious curse towards the Pei clan.
What did the Pei clan leader care about the most? That was just the Pei clan. Min Yu Han’s words practically just touched upon his bottom line, stirring up his reverse scale. It can be said to have truly angered him. The malice in his eyes was even no longer concealed, as if looking at a dead person.
Min Yu Han met his gaze, yet didn’t fear in the slightest, even smiling more and more nonchalantly. And the bearing of an influential family’s son manifested on him even more, making people feel that the aura between them seemingly swapped, and that the Pei clan leader was the one actually being suppressed.
“Just a vow, that’s all. If there’s not this matter, then naturally there’s nothing at all. Not to mention, in this world, how many people are there still that have vows taken seriously? Am I right, uncle? As long as uncle vow to the heavens, I will immediately kowtow in apology to uncle. In fact, even humbly apologizing to Xiu Ying isn’t undoable either.”
These words for the most part were precisely for the sake of blocking the Pei clan leader to death. To make a vow now, only to break it in the future, it won’t just be ‘growing fat eating one’s own words’ anymore. The Pei clan leader suddenly smiled, “Yu Han having been out traveling all these years, truly has matured.” In his words, there was even a bit of gratification.
Min Yu Han unconcernedly nodded, “Having been stupid for too long, one ultimately needs to mature somewhat. Otherwise, one won’t even know how one dies.”
Pei Xiu Ying already put away the moodiness that made her exceptionally angry. The smile on her face also disappeared without a trace, instead appearing even more steady and composed.
She already sensed that the atmosphere at this very moment really wasn’t as it appeared on the surface that simple. There was also the heaviness that she was unaware of. And she also for the first time genuinely examined this Min family great uncle. She for a time also very much looked down on this great uncle, believing that he was too indulged in romantic feelings, unable to free himself. As a son of a large influential family, to not think about repaying the family clan, dedicating oneself to the family clan, instead out traveling all year round, he was practically not a man, and further the disgrace of large influential clans. This kind of person should have long been removed from the clan and forever banished.
In her eyes, this kind of man will always have some small talents, yet would still be unpresentable. Looking at it now, this really wasn’t the case.
“Why don’t uncle consider my proposal. Although I’m Xiu Ying’s elder, Jin Qinwang is too. However, Jin Qinwang is her elder by blood, so this influence would be even bigger. Moreover, Jin Qinwang has an officially wedded wangfei. Jin Wangfei’s grandfather is the Head Minister of Appointments, wielding great power, and her adoptive mother is the Grand Elder Princess, extraordinary honorable. Xiu Ying is just someone sent over by you, and based on the Pei clan’s background and status, don’t even have the qualifications to directly be a side consort. Entering Jin Qinwang Manor’s rear court, to be able to let you take two servant girls to serve is already not bad. And currently in Jin Qinwang Manor, aside from the wangfei, there isn’t a single titled concubine. All the power naturally is all controlled in Jin Wangfei’s hand. When facing someone that one clearly knows is a threat, you think Jin Wangfei will be indifferent? Or is it that you think Xiu Ying taking along those two people can just contend with Jin Wangfei? Otherwise, you think that prior to returning to the capital, Xiu Ying can just win over Jin Qinwang’s heart? Or even have a pregnancy before marriage………”
Min Yu Han appeared to be calmly analyzing the pros and cons, but which line wasn’t like stabbing a knife into the Pei clan leader’s as well as Pei Xiu Ying’s chest? Mentioning Jing Wan’s status and background, mentioning Pei Xiu Ying’s status and background, you, a large influential family’s daughter, believed oneself to be looking down on the other party, yet in reality, the other party was actually the one that completely didn’t have you taken seriously.
Pei Xiu Ying was once fully confident that she would be able to defeat Jing Wan and become the final winner, but after meeting Jing Wan, her confidence greatly suffered a blow. And now, hearing Min Yu Han’s words, although not wanting to admit, this nevertheless was a fact that can’t be more true. That remaining bit of confidence invisibly shattered into smithereens.
The Pei clan leader glanced at his own great granddaughter, roughly aware that certain efforts made in the past have already gotten destroyed in the moment. Then, looking again to Min Yu Han, who adding together the last twenty some years, perhaps never once smiled as much as today, to have this big of a change, there were two possibilities. One, suddenly getting provoked. He already knew that he’d gone to meet with Jin Qinwang. And two, having accumulated over a long period of time, just in the past, hid too well, never once revealing, and now, because of certain reasons, no longer concealed, perhaps even having to do with Jin Qinwang. The Pei clan leader wasn’t sure which one Min Yu Han belonged to, but without a doubt, he can no longer use the same attitude as in the past to treat him. This already wasn’t a ‘soon-to-be son-in-law’ that he can freely manipulate, but rather a viper that can bite him at any time.
“However, marrying me won’t be the same.” Min Yu Han continued, “At least, one will be officially wedded, and lifted through the gates in an eight-person palanquin. In terms of reputation, perhaps there will still be damage, but if releasing news that uncle, because of remorse, specially raised such a young lady as compensation for that year, perhaps others will even praise you as being affectionate and true.”
Min Yu Han’s manner was peaceful, neither too fast nor too slow, but the mockery contained inside couldn’t be more obvious.
Pei Xiu Ying’s suppressed anger once again boiled over, truly unable to continue enduring, “What is Min family great uncle taking me as?
Min Yu Han turned and glanced at her, his eyes even filled with unconcealed ridicule, “Whatever your great-grandfather has you viewed as, in my eyes, you’re just a tiny bit higher than that. He’s letting you be a concubine, the kind that has no matchmaker, no documents. I’m letting you be a wife, the kind that’s legitimately proper. ———–Uncle, you having her given to Jin Qinwang, is this preparing to disregard the Pei clan reputation, or preparing to be the same as Guan Guan that year, letting Xiu Ying be expelled from the Pei clan? Or perhaps, it’s preparing to let Jin Qinwang take the blame, letting the people of world believe that it was him taking fancy to a Pei clan daughter’s beauty, thus forcibly stole the person. And you, then stand out and express that in the past, you weren’t the clan leader, so was unable to make the decision then, but now, no matter what, will stand by your own great-granddaughter’s side, and even if unable to contend against the imperial family, you still want to become your own family young lady’s powerful backing?”
The Pei clan leader didn’t speak, just looking to Min Yu Han. He admit, the later plans, the other party had guessed correctly.
“Afterwards, you’ll have reason to assist Jin Qinwang, and naturally also helping your own family’s young lady stand against Jin Wangfei, pulling the other party down and taking her place, becoming the mother of the world as the original empress?! Uncle, could it be that you think, aside from yourself, aside from the people of the Pei clan, others are all morons?” Min Yu Han picked up a stone and then landed it on the board, also not caring whether the Pei clan leader had put down a piece or not. Just, his gaze towards the Pei clan leader was just like looking at a moron.
The Pei clan leader still didn’t speak, even following along and putting down a stone.
