Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 351.2: Just the Aftermath Remaining

The old woman was very clear. Women with this kind of natural disposition were very scary. “Tomorrow, will be sending you all and paternal aunt-in-law back to the main residence.”

“Since the anti-aging pill has already been sent over, then indeed should go back. As such, will be trouble tang great-aunt.”

The Pei Xiu Ying at this moment appeared very normal, but the old woman kept feeling that her insides were all dark, even concealing a venomous snake, still harboring hatred, the kind that might pick someone to devour at any time.

She didn’t say anything at all, just wanting to quickly leave.

“Respectfully seeing off tang great-aunt.” Pei Xiu Ying curtsied with proper bearing.

Very soon, only Pei Xiu Ying and her two servant girls were left in the room.

The servant girls curled up in fear. They also sensed that their master right now was very scary, because this reaction simply wasn’t normal.

Although the Pei clan leader madam occasionally would wake up, this situation still didn’t allow for one to be optimistic, all having the possibility of letting out the final breath at any time. If able to endure until returning to the main residence before dying, it was also not bad, thus quickly preparing to send them back, and Li Hong Yuan’s people also won’t block anymore.

What was worth mentioning was that after not hearing any news from Chuanzhou Fu’s side for a long time, the Pei clan leader was also faintly uneasy inside, sending someone to Chuanzhou Fu. However, that person was also considered clever. After detecting that something was wrong, they didn’t approach the Pei clan residence, immediately spurring the horse and rushing back. When the Pei clan leader received news, the uneasiness inside grew increasingly obvious, continuously feeling that something big will happen. After repeated hesitation, he decided to personally take a trip to Chuanzhou Fu. Afterwards, when nearing Chuanzhou Fu, he ran into the Pei clan leader madam and them on their way back.

After just briefly understanding the situation, the Pei clan leader who was able to smile at any time, his face thoroughly sunk, an unprecedented solemnness. His five fingers couldn’t help but buckle into the hollow of his palm. Things have thoroughly exceeded his control. Some things perhaps really were taken for granted by him, but he didn’t believe this was where all the fault was at.

Although he sensed Pei Xiu Ying’s abnormality, at this time, it wasn’t the time to console her. This great-granddaughter’s character and conduct were all taught by him. For Jin Qinwang’s matter to go beyond expectations, it was due to his lack of understanding. As for Pei Xiu Ying, the Pei clan leader really didn’t believe she can cause any big waves. Later, he can just nicely console her. The top priority at present were those renowned great scholars, absolutely can’t let Li Hong Yuan ruin them for real. Once they’re ruined, the Pei clan really won’t have a chance at reviving again.

The Pei clan leader also understood, because Jin Qinwang deliberately sealed off the information, by the time he received news, it was very likely that it was already late, but he can’t sit and wait for death either. After writing the letter, it was sent out in the quickest speed. At the same time, he also wrote letters to the various in-law families, the contents expressing all kinds of care, then mentioning certain people from their family clan.

In essence, it was the exact same ploy the Pei clan leader used to threaten the Min clan at the time, just he didn’t point out directly, that’s all. However, no one was an idiot, how can they not make out the threat within.

Once those people received the letter, they all turned deathly pale, probably not expecting that the Pei clan leader would be this despicable and shameless. However, because the matter emerged suddenly, they were also puzzled inside. Did something happen for that Pei old thing to suddenly put out their family clan’s blackmail material? Clearly things were different from usual.

Afterwards, when those renowned scholars of the Pei clan met with mishap one after another, they finally came to realization. Someone wanted to deal with the Pei clan, and moreover, was aiming at the roots, vigorously chopping swing by swing, making one feel alarmed and fearful. Whether or not they should help out the Pei clan became a big problem. If they help, in turn offending the person going against the Pei clan, who knows whether or not they will become the next target. But if they don’t help, that Pei old thing grasped information against them, so they might get dragged down by him at any time.

Of course, these were all later words, temporarily don’t need to mention.

The Pei clan leader wrote the letters and ordered to return to Pei County. Including his severely ill old wife, he also didn’t go take a glance at, just closing his eyes to rest, contemplating his next move.

Meanwhile, Jing Wan and them also packed up, preparing to leave Chuanzhou Fu, leaving for the next fu.

The accompany officials naturally needed to stay behind to continue laboring away, all the way until the new officials arrive.

Have to say, towards Jin Qinwang leaving, the entire Chuanzhou Fu, from all the officials above, down to the ordinary commoners of varying social status below, not one didn’t relax a breath. There were even those that secretly rejoiced and celebrated. For the ordinary commoners, punishing the corrupt officials was something worth being happy over, but too much unrest would only make them fearful. That’s why, it was better for him to be leaving.

Jiangnan’s four prefecture and twenty-eight fu, Li Hong Yuan actually planned on visiting each fu one by one, but because at present, the matters for the most part can be considered to be done, in the later fu, they can just follow the set pattern. And if encountering a special circumstance, then it was just specially handling. Precisely as the so called ‘killing the chicken to warn the monkey’, the living Enma was truly too ruthless, not leaving any face, not afraid of offending anyone, so naturally at this time, no one dared to stroke the tiger’s whiskers. For everyday that Jin Qinwang stays in Jiangnan, all the officials needed to tuck their tails between their legs, including those in the neighboring prefectures. At this time, everyone were all careful and cautious.

The main matter although needed to continue taking care of, it was nevertheless much more relaxed. Right now, it was just playing around as the main priority.

Sitting on the boat, Jing Wan leaned against the window, enjoying the breeze, incomparably content.

Bai Shao and Fu Xiao both chose to leave along with without the slightest hesitation. If they stay in Chuanzhou Fu, based on Jing Wan’s personality, she will certainly leave at least two personal servants to take care of them. And the people by Jing Wan’s side weren’t many to begin with. Going together, they can just randomly draw some time to look after them, and the rest of the time, it won’t affect serving Jing Wan.

In Jing Wan’s eyes, this way was also the best. After all, Gong Jiu certainly will leave with them. With Gong Jiu looking after them from time to time, it naturally will make one even more reassured.

Bai Shao’s wound, after sewing together, recovered very quickly. After sleeping on the bed for a few days, she also slowly got down from the bed to walk around.

Gong Jiu took note of her condition at all times, preparing to have this method perfected and recorded. Towards the critical treatment of external wounds, this will become a very important procedure. For ordinary people, it was hard to say. After all, there was the saying of ‘the body, hair, and skin, all a gift from one’s parent, not daring to damage^[1]‘, but on the battlefield, it wasn’t the same. This might be able to preserve even more people’s life.

And Fu Xiao, because only had superficial wounds, also for the most part all formed scabs. However, the injured areas truly were too many, and densely packed too. Just slightly moving, the areas that have formed into a scab will also tear with pain, so to want to freely move around, similarly still needed to wait a period of time.

The recovery was well, and the mentality also appeared to not have any problems, so Jing Wan naturally felt a lot more relieved.

Perhaps for the sake of looking after their situation, they still utilized the waterways. However, the fu that can be directly reached by the waterways wasn’t the closest fu to Chuanzhou Fu.

The two of them took it all to heart, feeling moved inside. They didn’t say anything, just further motivated to get well, hoping to get better sooner, so that they can better serve Jing Wan.

Jing Wan’s intention, Li Hong Yuan naturally understood too. In any case, their return to the capital was still undetermined, so taking a bit of a detour wasn’t a problem either. However, occasionally, whenever Li Hong Yuan would see Bai Shao and Fu Xiao slightly moving about outside, that gaze was also like looking at a dead person. Just two lowly servants, yet can also divide his wife’s attention. If not that Wan Wan would get angry, he definitely would’ve directly slaughtered them.

When Fu Xiao encountered this kind of situation for the first time, she also nearly went limp in the legs. Bai Shao was actually still okay, and towards this kind of matter, can be considered accustomed to. That’s why, once Li Hong Yuan left, she just calmly patted Fu Xiao’s shoulder, “It’s nothing. Wangye just has wangfei viewed too importantly, unable to tolerate wangfei’s gaze landing on others. However, as long as we properly serve wangfei, wangye at most would just have a cold face. Wangfei is actually the biggest boss, so just avoid wangye as much as possible.”

Fu Xiao pursed her lips and lightly smiled.
