Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 496.4: End of Matter, The Cause and Effect Becoming Clear

The entire manor was all busy putting out the fire. Those that were normally all well-groomed, at this time, were all covered in filth, their face full of black ashes.

And precisely under this kind of circumstance, someone openly entered the Su family’s most important study. Three people very quickly searched, not even leaving behind any traces. Moreover, just looking at their technique, one just knew they were professionals, because they won’t randomly search without a purpose, but rather searching with an aim. As such, even if just a sheet of paper, it won’t be like fishing a needle from the sea among the numerous books. After all, important things will always be taken out from time to time to look at. And when hiding, one will also subconsciously pay attention.

That’s why, there will always be a distinctive area. Ordinary people won’t notice, but for people that have gone through special training, it completely wasn’t the case.

This was also the reason why they picked the daytime to act and not at night. The lighting during the day was better, very difficult for tiny clues to escape the eye, and the time needed will also be much shorter.

“Found it, it’s here.” One of them discovered the thing they wanted in the most inconspicuous book on the table.

The entire thing was also just a few lines. The three of them all had an extraordinary memory. Things within a hundred words, they can just remember at a glance, and after silently committing to memory once, for the most part, there weren’t anymore problems. Having achieved their goal, they swiftly left. How it was when they came was still how it appeared after they left. Unless the owner can detect first thing, otherwise, just randomly moving something will be able to erase all traces. Just, as this study’s owner, Noble Consort Su’s older brother, did he have that level of perception?

Calmly entering, and then calmly leaving, they didn’t attract the slightest attention.

And not long after, three letters that had the exact same content landed in Li Hong Yuan’s hand.

Jing Wan leaned in to look over together with him. The contents weren’t much to begin with. For those that had the ability to read ten lines at a glance, perhaps a single glance was enough. However, regardless of whether it was Jing Wan or Li Hong Yuan, the time spent was all a bit long. How to put it, it was somewhat different from what they’d predicted, yet also even more complicated.

Classical text, when translated to spoken language, the content was just a bit long.

The Fu family and the Su family’s ancestors, in reality, were blood related brothers of the same mother but different fathers. That’s right, precisely the same mother.

Speaking of which, it was a bit like a calamitous beauty, yet also a bit like two men fighting over one woman. The text itself was also rather vague about this, not very clear. Back then, it was also amidst a chaotic period of war, so some etiquette and whatnot seemingly weren’t looked after as much. Just, in this matter, there was a woman that first entered the Su family and gave birth to a son, but afterwards, seemingly got stolen by the Fu family. However, there was a doubtful point in this matter. That child from the Su family knew of the Fu family’s matter, but the Fu family didn’t know about the Su family. That’s why, this ‘steal’ was pending further investigation. Although the Su family focused in literature, and the Fu family revered military skills, one can’t judge because of this either.

Together along with the Great Ancestor, they conquered the country, and because of the Fu family’s military achievements, for a time, the Fu family became the leader of the mass.

The Su family actually was also not bad, and although they didn’t provide much power, nor provided much money, they did offer their brains. The number one military strategist by the Great Ancestor’s side was precisely someone from the Su family.

Just, in the end, when it came to evaluating the merits and bestowing rewards, there wasn’t the Su family’s share.

Judging from the thing left behind on the paper, the Su family believed that it was the Fu family obstructing in the middle. That strategist, who was precisely the elder brother of the brothers from the same mother, for the sake of saving the Great Ancestor’s eldest son, even once got injured, his body progressively deteriorating, yet the honor the Su family deserved, they didn’t get, believing that the Fu family all weren’t anything good, stealing everything from them. Thus, they set up such a malicious scheme.

The Great Ancestor Emperor was fond of secretly mingling with the people, but one day, he nevertheless encountered a traveling daoist priest, even a blind one, merely just accidentally bumping into him, yet a problem just occurred.

The daoist priest merely touched the Great Ancestor’s hand and just gave out a prophecy. The rough meaning was just the Li clan were the true dragon, yet had the false dragon, the Fu clan, by their side, attempting to steal the dragon’s aura. It was impossible for the false dragon to take the place of the true dragon, but it will influence Qi Yuan’s fortune. The stronger the false dragon, the faster Qi Yuan’s fortune will decline. In the end, he even clearly stated, if the false dragon is not eliminated, Qi Yuan Emperor can only pass on for six generations.

What kind of person was the Great Ancestor? Of course he won’t easily believe this kind of saying. Shortly after, he just sent people to go investigate, discovering that, that daoist priest was quite renowned, already well-known for several decades, and moreover, someone that can be encountered, but can’t be sought, so it wasn’t too possible for it to be someone’s scheme.

In Jing Wan’s view, that daoist priest’s position at the time was more or less like the current Grandmaster Liao Chen.

Just, the daoist priest was real, but the one the Great Ancestor encountered was nevertheless fake.

However, even if the Great Ancestor wanted to sort out the Fu family, it already wasn’t too possible, because the country had yet to stabilize. The great majority of the military power was all in the Fu clan’s hands. If they act against the Fu family at this time, it will be viewed as disposing someone once they’ve served their purpose, and extremely possible to get directly devoured instead. That way truly would be the gains not making up the losses. That’s why, can only slowly plan. In any case, there was six generations of time.

The six generation setting, in a certain sense, was also where the Su family was the most malicious, because it won’t have the ruler forced into a corner and swiftly eliminate the Fu family, but instead, nibble away and weaken little by little, suffering generation after generation. The blunt blade cutting the flesh was much much more painful.

Just, the Fu family’s tenacity was a bit beyond expectation, and each Qi Yuan Emperor also cared more about their reputation than the last. In between, there was even an emperor that was just like a puppet, so where did he even have the energy to deal with the Fu family. As such, these grudges continuously lasted for this long.

“The throne can only pass on for six generations? His Majesty is the fifth generation, right?” Jing Wan felt it was a bit laughable.

“In the past life, the Fu family still had people left, but the possibility of your son not ascending the throne was zero.”

“Even if giving Fu Yun Ting an army of three hundred thousand, he can just steal away your throne?”

Li Hong Yuan just coldly sneered. It was more likely for him to skin Fu Yun Ting alive. “Already said, it was something made up by the Su family.”

“That’s why, this matter right now can be considered cleared up. The reason why your imperial father used such a bad move was completely for the sake of purging the threat for his son. Then, in other words, he’s still considered a good father?”

“Wan Wan saying this, do you not feel disgusted yourself?”

“Alright, it was probably still for his own sake.”

Regardless of what, it was still feeling a bit complicated and hard to describe inside. Were the Su family malicious? But if the Fu family really obstructed the Su family’s future prospects, then the Su family doing this seemingly wasn’t overboard either. But, Jing Wan kept feeling that perhaps this wasn’t really the case in this matter. She kept feeling that there was seemingly another dark hand in this matter, obstructing the Su family and severing the Fu family. Just, a guess was also just a guess. Exactly what the situation was back then already can’t be examined. The rights and wrongs inside, who was right and who was wrong already can’t be cleared up.

But, Li Hong Yuan insisting on having the matter counted on the Su family’s head, that is also just the Su family’s bad luck, offending the completely unreasonable living Enma.

Speaking of which, one can’t completely say that the living Enma was unreasonable. After all, the person he loved the most indeed died because of those messy matters, and moreover, it was dying tragically. As a result, all the people related to this matter inevitably won’t have a good end. The living Enma was petty and loved holding grudges. Even if it didn’t happen in this life, Noble Consort Su still wanted to scheme against Jing Wan, no? Thus, old grudges and new hate will be settled altogether.

“By the way, Ah Yuan, that fire in the Su Manor, how did it start?” In the middle of the day, when everyone is awake, it wasn’t easy to burn. Moreover, one can’t just pile up the wood and splash oil.

“Just need to tamper with the window paper in advance, how simple of a matter.”

In other words, in the living Enma’s heart, there was nothing difficult in the world. No matter what, can just solve by moving the finger? “Is there nothing that you feel is relatively difficult and need to spend thought on?”

“There is, trying to marry you.”

That’s why, she just got smacked with a face full of sweet talk? Jing Wan pounced on Li Hong Yuan, ruthlessly biting him. This was too illegal.
