Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 374: Making One’s Hair Stand in Anger

In the following two three days, the newest rumor in the capital was just, Jin Wangfei was extremely prone to jealousy. Jin Qinwang’s entire villa of beauties either got given away by her, sold off, or beaten to death, not leaving a single one. Even the villa used to raise the beauties all got cleanly torn apart, and the things inside all sold off, without a single one remaining.

With these various matters, it was more than enough to show how much Jin Wangfei detested these beauties’ existence.

Before this, there were already rumors that Jin Wangfei was easily jealous and didn’t tolerate others, both vicious and ruthless. At that time, perhaps there were still misgivings, but this time, it was genuinely a very big ruckus.

Heard that the beauties that were sent away didn’t even have clothes covering the body; heard that the beauties that were sold off all got carved with the character ‘crime(罪)’; heard that the most miserable ones were the beauties that got beaten to death, crying and shouting for mercy, yet even if weak and pitiful, they still failed to obtain Jin Wangfei’s pity, not only getting beaten until the flesh was tattered, but even after they stopped breathing, the beating all didn’t stop, practically becoming a lump of minced meat. The blood entered the ground, unable to be washed away, unable to be wiped clean. The fishy stench filled the skies, as if solidifying into countless wronged spirits.

If it was just this, then so be it, but for Jin Wangfei to actually sit to the side, watching the punishment carry out while eating, that image made one’s hair stand in anger.

Even the resoundingly infamous Jin Qinwang, right now, compared with Jin Wangfei, seemingly all needed to make way. Although, Jin Qinwang, this living Enma, crushed all sides without discrimination, Jin Wangfei however just targeted the flowers by Jin Qinwang’s side, so can’t be considered comparable.

Jin Wangfei was still far from letting others all fear, but it seems that the people’s attack towards her was even more like a surging storm. In fact, someone even presented a memorandum to the Emperor, requesting to divorce such a vicious woman that lacked morality and conduct. Never mind as a daughter-in-law of the imperial family, even in an ordinary family, she should all be divorced and locked into the family’s ancestral shrine, spending the rest of her days before buddha, and that was all light. Letting her directly ‘die suddenly’ would be the most appropriate.

Things were still far from over with, because as Jing Wan’s grandfather, the Head Minister of Appointments, Sir Luo also got implicated. Reasonably speaking, it should be Luo Rong Yan getting directly attacked, but unfortunately, Luo Rong Yan was still far from qualified to stand upon the imperial court, so no matter how others accuse him of misconduct, in the end, it all won’t have that big of an effect, thus no one would go waste that kind of useless effort.

Ever since Luo Pei Shan sat onto the position of the Head Minister of Appointments, he can be said to take in neither salt nor oil. No matter which side tries to rope in him, it was all to no avail. He can be said to have offended all. At this time, naturally no one would mention that the Head Minister of Appointments was ‘fair and selfless’.

However, although getting accused of misconduct, Head Minister Luo nevertheless appeared quite calm. According to his explanation, his family’s dear grandchild, prior to marrying, was filial to the elders, has love for her siblings, gentle and virtuous, an extremely good young lady. As the saying goes, ‘southern tangerine, northern orange’^[1], if his granddaughter really has inappropriate areas, it’s also nothing more than because of this.

The meaning couldn’t be more obvious. His family’s young lady, if not good, that’s just the problem of the environment. Prior to marrying, she was perfectly fine, so if problems occur after marrying, that’s certainly Jin Qinwang Manor’s problem. To take it a step further, that was just the imperial family’s problem. It was them that lead his family’s young lady astray.

Many people all turned blue. Even Le Cheng Emperor’s complexion was all a bit……….

Actually, in this matter, exactly what happened, Le Cheng Emperor also knew, because before this incident even occurred, he was already aware, the main reason being that his family’s unfilial son had thrown a fit in front of him in advance. The explicit and implicit meaning was just those women had problems.

Those brothers of his, each and every one all can’t stand seeing him being well. In fact, he even had the Jiangnan matter this time pulled out, for instance saying that the three times he’d gotten ‘plotted against’ was all closely tied to them. He clearly didn’t fight for anything and didn’t want anything, yet some people still were unwilling to let go of him. As such, it would’ve been better if his mother had taken him along with her when she died.

The reason Li Hong Yuan had everything pushed onto himself in advance in front of Le Cheng Emperor was none other than because right now, only Le Cheng Emperor can still become a threat to Jing Wan.

Le Cheng Emperor can be said to have gotten his weak spot clutched by Li Hong Yuan. Once it involved his true love, his IQ more or less just plummeted. In addition to Li Hong Yuan having some evidences in hand, he just tossed his brain out the window, having everything with his son as top priority.

That’s why, after Jing Wan did those things, Le Cheng Emperor also just understood it as his son borrowing his wife’s hand to have those unstable elements disposed of cleanly. The villa of beauties and whatnot was nothing more than a front. The people that he really wanted to dispose of was actually inside the manor. Since his daughter-in-law helped his son shoulder the blame, he can’t really have the person divorced. Speaking of which, the imperial family seemingly didn’t have the saying of divorce. It was always just ‘sudden death’. Moreover, with his son’s fate of cursing wives, if this daughter-in-law is gone, perhaps he’ll be a widower for life. Not only so, recalling that abundant state treasury, and bulging personal wallet, those were also obtained by sacrificing old six’s wife’s reputation………….

Because of these various things, when facing Head Minister Luo, Le Cheng Emperor was instead a bit embarrassed.

Afterwards, Le Cheng Emperor nonchalantly overruled the memorandums, saying that this daughter-in-law of his, he knew. She wasn’t someone with malicious thoughts. It must be that those lowly people had offended her. Moreover, beating to death and whatnot, purely pulled from thin air. As a daughter-in-law of the imperial family, what she represented was also the imperial family’s face. To wantonly slander as such, that was just slandering the imperial household. Whoever it was that put out such rumors, if he were to find out, certainly will punish severely.

Afterwards, the bestowments entered Jin Qinwang Manor like flowing water, mentioning by name to be for Jin Wangfei.

Jing Wan looked to the things that filled the courtyard, very much speechless. These things, quite a few were all things that she had ‘extorted’ back from Jiangnan. As a ruler of a country, really this embarrassingly short of money? Moreover, she brought back for him several tens of millions worth, yet this bit of thing was less than a hundred thousand, really stingy.

Waving her hand, it was all taken into the storehouse.

Just, “Those things that I ‘did’, exactly who leaked out?” She herself was completely unaware alright.
