Chapter 553: Favor, Reeling in the Net

When getting up the next day, a certain someone was gone again, although Jing Wan wasnt that surprised.

Because the time usually reserved for her morning exercises was now used for sleeping, as such, when Jing Wan got up, the time was quite late.

However, ever since the first three months have pa.s.sed, Jing Wans exercise load has also been increasing. Every persons body condition was different, so the exercise amount certain wont be the same. Jing Wan was moving around as much as possible within her own limits, even occasionally belly dancing. Of course, there wont be movements like violent shaking the stomach. The people by her side were somewhat alarmed and fearful, but Jing Wan felt it was quite good, not feeling unwell at all.

Under this kind of circ.u.mstance, before even reaching the fourth month, Jing Wan just felt the fetus move for the first time. Moreover, it was even quite obvious. Jing Wan first was astonished, also a bit nervous, but afterwards, it was just complete joy. Mama, mama, the baby moved in the stomach. Jing Wan immediately shared the news with Gong mama who was giving her a ma.s.sage.

Gong mama was also shocked, and afterwards, carefully placed her hand on Jing Wans stomach. Under her palm, she also clearly sensed it. Its not that Gong mama has never seen pregnant woman before. At the time, when Sun Yi Jia was pregnant, shed even helped look after. But, to sense it this close, it was still a first. Moreover, Jing Wans certainly will be different from outsiders. As such, she also strangely became happy and nervous along with, and shortly after, hastily took Jing Wans pulse. From the pulse, it seems everything was fine.

Even so, Gong mama was still worried, letting someone go having Gong Jiu called over to examine again.

And the others that learned of this matter also didnt feel there was anything inappropriate about Gong mamas decision.

Jing Wan somewhat didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Shed long discovered, from the start, they were just more emotionally invested than her. Seeing them like this, Jing Wan instead calmed down.

After calming down, Jing Wan even had this matter thrown to the back of her mind. By the time Li Hong Yuan returned, she didnt even think of sharing this with him. In the end, it was still the people by her side that couldnt help but insert a word.

Speaking of which, everyone more or less have all seen pregnant women before, merely a matter of sooner or later. Just, some people will never go pay attention, thats all. Li Hong Yuan naturally fell under this category. Thats why, regardless of whether or not he liked the child in Jing Wans stomach, at this time, he still more or less produced a bit of curiosity, just like certain foolish fathers wanting to lean on their wifes stomach to listen to the childs movement. Of course, he wont go as far as to do this, but he still couldnt help but place his hand on Jing Wans lower abdomen, carefully caressing. Clearly, he also wanted to feel it, but there werent any movements. Unwilling to give up, he felt around again. Aside from feeling the slight protrusion of the lower abdomen, there werent anything else.

Jing Wan thought to herself, silly baby, your father doesnt like you to begin with. Now wanting you to move, how come you just dont know to seize the opportunity to curry favor with him. If youre really that child from his memories, then you should further show off.

Afterwards, Jing Wans stomach really moved, and moreover, it was even quite obvious.

Li Hong Yuans eyes clearly flickered with astonishment. How to put it, the feeling was very magical. On his face, there was also a trace of softness that even he didnt detect. In the end, this was ultimately his bloodline. Not having good feelings towards children was because prior to the childs brith, Jing Wan will need to suffer hards.h.i.+ps, and after the child is born, he will also divide away Jing Wans attention. But, towards the continuation of the bloodline, that was actually a natural instinct.

Jing Wan beamed with joy, feeling that her child was able to read her mind. As for the possibility of it just being a coincidence, she wont acknowledge.

However, her smile didnt last for long, because after Li Hong Yuan saw her expression, the gentle expression on his face just disappeared without a trace, just like it had never appeared, so Jing Wan naturally couldnt smile too unrestrainedly, inwardly sighing, it really was that nothing can last for more than three seconds.

Wan Wan is just this happy? Although he didnt like the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d in her stomach, but if shes really very happy, then its not like he cant endure. A good mood, for a pregnant person, was also very important. These debts he can all record on the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, and after hes born, slowly settle the score. The old man disciplining the son, wasnt that only natural?

-As for him constantly going against Le Cheng Emperor, he rather didnt feel there was any problem. This double standard couldnt be more obvious.

TN: All

Jing Wan rather didnt hide her good mood, because this mans tolerance towards her was still rising. Although it was saying to have the debts all recorded in a little booklet, but in reality, how could he really settle the score with her in the future. And the so called settling the score was also nothing more than some embarra.s.sing matters. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they didnt do it any less. Moreover, no matter how rough he was, it was also just that. At most it was just a bit exhausting, but after resting a little, it was also just fine, not that big of a deal.

Sure enough, after she nodded, Li Hong Yuan didnt say anything either.

In the next two days, Li Hong Yuan was just like when he was idle, cooping in the manor, raising plants and flowers together with Jing Wan.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, in this short amount of time, that Changping Marchioness wont know that Wei-s.h.i.+ has already met with mishap, but there were always the unexpected, just like for instance, if by chance something came up, suddenly contacting, then she would certainly discover that something was wrong.

Properly grasping this time difference, Li Hong Yuan should be able to take advantage of the situation, having those people all caught. Of course, even if not having this time difference, it also didnt matter. As long as they take down the ringleader, then the small fries below wont be worth fearing. It was nothing more than just having Li Hong Yuans situation leaked out. In reality, Li Hong Yuan right now didnt believe that his actual circ.u.mstances were still as secretive as before.

These two days, the people below were investigating Changping Marquiss eldest di sons situation.

The matter sure enough was just as Li Hong Yuan had predicted. This person already got made use of by the Changping Marchioness. From his various actions, one can tell, he really was full of resentment, towards Changping Marquis, towards practically everyone else of Changping Marquis Manor, and towards the Cui clan. Because the matter didnt involve Li Hong Yuan, one was unable to tell his att.i.tude towards Li Hong Yuan, but betraying the country and committing treason, he didnt hesitate to do. It was more than enough to see that towards the entirety of Qi Yuan, he no longer have the slightest feeling.

This person although appeared to already be crippled, but for better or worse, he still carried the Cui surname. Although it wasnt possible for him to sit onto the Changping Marquis position anymore, he was nevertheless a pretty good way for the Cui clan to control Changping Marquis. As long as he cooperates with the Cui clan to prove that Changping Marquis was not compa.s.sionate as a father, then for Changping Marquis to preserve his own n.o.ble t.i.tle, no matter what, will all need to make compromises.

As such, the other clansmen of the Cui clan, even if pretending, will still appropriately express their goodwill towards this eldest di son of Changping Marquis. And once he had a goal, this person no longer appeared that mediocre and incompetent, making the Cui clan produce pity towards him, gradually pulling in the two sides relations.h.i.+p. Thus, he was always able to obtain some useful information. As the pieces and fragments ama.s.sed, it absolutely cant be underestimated.

Based on the situation, if theres no mishap, then Yao Rao should be by this persons side, just dont know how long its been already. Having such a woman present, the information obtained will at least double.

Reel in the net. Li Hong Yuan gave his order and just no longer questioned. Just, that night, he left the city and headed to the estate.

This was Li Hong Yuans first time meeting Changping Marchioness. How to put it, this woman appeared indifferent and tranquil, not the least bit like a prisoner. In Changping Marquis Manor, shed already adopted a buddhist lifestyle all year round, seemingly really making her distance herself from worldly affair, and gaining a buddhist glow.

However, it was obvious to tell that these were all merely a facade.
