Chapter 253.1: Picking the People, Picking a Fight

Of the thirty some to near forty female entertainers in the manor, more than half were willing to be sent out. The five people, aside from Jing Wan, dividing equally, each person would get three with some left over. Of course, this was Jing Wans ideal scenario. Jing Wan knew if these words really were said out loud, she would definitely pull in hate. According to their personal thoughts, they probably dont want a single one.

However, the amount of people that wanted to leave still exceeded Jing Wans expectations. Was it that majority of beauties all have the desire to conquer men and climb onto a high position? Or was it that her level of credibility was too low? Alright, should be that for ninety-nine percent of main wives, their trustworthiness, in the hearts of vixens, were all very low. They have never believed that any main wife would really be so magnanimous as to accept them. Their beauty was just the original sin, and as women, the main wife would only envy and detest them, and would never admire nor like.

This kind of situation, Jing Wan roughly can guess. Afterwards, it was also just that. What, even expect her to sit down, hold their hands, and have a heart-to-heart talk? Heheh, that would really be a laughing matter then.

Although today, that good fourth sister-in-law was the leading pioneer, she also wont have too much of an advantage either.

Thinking of it like this, Jing Wan felt, these zhoulis, she more or less all offended thoroughly, having that bit of worry.

Nearly twenty some varying beauties lined up in a row. Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor had money, and they were specifically just for people to look at, so in terms of clothes and makeup, they naturally werent being treated harshly. This while, having specially dressed up, they were further like flowers blossoming in the wind, extremely beautiful.

Certain peoples eyes hated that they cant glue onto them, and the other few, hated that they cant have them skinned alive. On the surface, they were composed and virtuous, even full of smiles, yet the hands in their sleeves was long tightly clenched, and the depths of their eyes were further like it was dipped in poison. In their hearts, perhaps it was just vixens, lowly s.l.u.ts, and such phrases flying in all directions.

As the saying goes, theres order in seniority. Fourth sister-in-law, why dont you pick first. Ninth w.a.n.gfei said with a smile. Quickly, have the prettiest ones all picked, and also, the more the better, dont mind at all if theres just some crooked gourds and split jujubes left in the end.

When it comes to order in seniority, shouldnt it be this prince picking first? Kang Qinw.a.n.g appeared aloof, but those eyes werent that restrained, his tone even carrying a bit of impatience.

This princes w.a.n.gfei giving people to the sister-in-laws, what does that have to do with you? Wait until you marry a second w.a.n.gfei then talk.

Kang Qinw.a.n.gs face darkened. He simply didnt consider this bit. In his eyes, what giving to the w.a.n.gfeis, wasnt it just giving to them as brothers? Their women were merely just an excuse. Yet now, this was getting unhesitantly slapped in the face by Li Hong Yuan.

Although its said as such, Kang Qinw.a.n.g will be marrying the second w.a.n.gfei very soon, so this while, just have the people taken back first, and once eldest sister-in-law marries in, just have the people given to eldest sister-in-law then. Since youre this eager, then just take them away, take them all away.

Jing Wan, as if inadvertently, lifted her head to glance at the sky, dark blue and clean. It was this bright and beautiful, yet Jing Wans mood was a bit melancholic. Sigh, still havent become zhoulis, yet shes already offended the Head Minister of Works familys daughter.

Her own husband was one that had all the grudges in the entire world all pulled over, and she was about to follow his footsteps.

Jing Wan casted a glance at Li Hong Yuan, very much suspecting whether or not he was deliberately doing this, having her separated from the people outside. In that instant, she just happened to meet with Li Hong Yuans eyes, giving her a kind of attentively watching you at all times, and whenever you turn back, can always see his gentle and infatuated gaze feeling. Jing Wan felt her cheeks were a bit hot. She seamlessly averted her gaze, and afterwards, her suspicions also got thrown beyond the clouds.

Kang Qinw.a.n.g, having gotten his face slapped by Li Hong Yuan, actually very much wanted to firmly express that he didnt want, but to no avail, among this group of beauties, there was one that hed been eyeing for a very long time. This was precisely the so called the more one was unable to eat, the more one craved; perhaps after pa.s.sing this village, there wont be this shop. Thus, he suppressed his anger, and actually didnt explode.

The one seldom time where he didnt act on impulse, and didnt act arrogant, it was because of a woman. If the Empress were to know, dont know what expression she would make.

Empress, for her entire life, was compet.i.tive and ambitious, her ambitions overflowing. This son perhaps was just her greatest faulty stroke

, although easy to control, but sometimes, still too stupid, always causing trouble, making others be caught unprepared. Truthfully speaking, Empress Sun felt, if Li Hong Ming was her son, then regardless whether it was the imperial court or the inner palace, where would there be any of n.o.ble Consort Sus business. Thats why, Kang Qinw.a.n.g often times all made others very much want to have him returned to the furnace to reconstruct.

Afterwards, Kang Qinw.a.n.g unhesitantly picked the person he wanted, and immediately following wanted to pick the second one.

Eldest brother, for all things, stop before going too far. The brother next to him coldly reminded him.

Kang Qinw.a.n.g finally, unwillingly and reluctantly, put away the thought of continuing to pick.

The person Kang Qinw.a.n.g picked wasnt necessarily the others type either. These beauties, each had their own merits, very hard to evaluate whos number one or number two. Thats why, there wont necessarily be situations where the brothers fight over one person appearing.

The few w.a.n.gfeis shouldered the enormous pressure from their own husbands. Originally, they wanted to pick the least outstanding one, but having these vixens compared with the ones back home, seemingly even the least outstanding one was still slightly superior to them. As such, one might as well just pick in the good direction, being virtuous and magnanimous for once, perhaps can even win some favor.

Jing Wan had their struggle all taken in. Truthfully speaking, towards this matter, it was probably just fifth w.a.n.gfei that didnt have any pressure. These entertainers, giving to her, probably really will just be purely given to her. And when theres nothing to do, just use them to relieved the boredom. Thats why, the husbands body not being well, in a certain sense, really wasnt some bad thing.

Picking beauties for ones own husband(), in Jing Wans eyes, was actually like a bit like the wife() picking a mistress for ones husband(). This kind of thing, no matter how one thought of it, it was all that unsettling. For the sake of winning ones husbands favor, even need to be magnanimous, picking the beautiful ones, picking the ones that will have the greatest threat towards oneself in the future. If they didnt love their husband, it was still okay, but if they love, and moreover, loved deeply, it was practically just a kind of torture.

(T/N: The terms for husband and wife are different in ancient times and modern times. is the archaic term for husband, while and are the modern terms for husband and wife.)

As the mediator of this matter, Jing Wan felt she was very unkind.

Jing Wan glanced at Li Hong Yuan again, his expression indifferent, completely not having any feelings towards this matter.

Jing Wan sighed. Forget it, even she herself right now still resided in the gray area between light and dark. Where did she have the energy to sympathize others.

Pressing to pick one by one, in the end, they really were evenly divided. What happened to just wanting one?

Gong w.a.n.gfei was going to be hated to death, and Jing Wan also wont be too far off.

The last one, this prince will just take on the difficult task of..

How about giving me the last one? On normal days, I seldomly go out, so really quite bored in the manor. Fifth w.a.n.gfei said with a smile.

Naturally wont fight with fifth sister-in-law, however. Kang Qinw.a.n.gs gaze turned towards Jing Wan, Sixth sister-in-law is too stingy, having the best ones hidden away. There was a saying called when the heart is never content, its like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Kang Qinw.a.n.g was precisely this kind of person. If possible, he even wanted to take the whole bundle, obtaining three, yet still thinking of those that didnt come out.

The best ones naturally need to leave for oneself. Getting surrounded by beauties, admiring the dance, listening to the songs, isnt that a great pleasure? Jing Wan said with a smile.

Thats why, even if she had people given away, she still didnt dare to go to the extreme. The most alluring ones were still in her hands. Thinking of it like this, their hearts balanced out again, and when looking towards Jing Wan, their animosity also lessened a little.

Jing Wan didnt know their thoughts, else she wouldve been between laughter and tears. This logic was also a bit outlandish.

What she said was the truth, yet how come they were able to twist it?

However, someone believed it, but also twisted it. Li Hong Yuan felt, as expected, should have taken care of all of them. Who cares whether they were willing to leave or not. Circling around his wife all day long, what was the meaning of this? Raising them for Wan Wan to relieve her boredom, as expected, was a wrong decision. With him here, how could Wan Wan possibly be bored?

Coming empty-handed, but returning with a big present, should one be happy or unhappy?

After seeing off these people, whose status was in to the upper levels of the pyramid, Jing Wans expression dulled a little.

Whats wrong? Li Hong Yuan reached out to embrace Jing Wan, Tired? In the future, wont let them visit anymore.

Often times, towards this man, Jing Wan was truly helpless and speechless, Its not like I did anything, so how could I be tired.

Jing Wan fixedly stared at him. As expected of a male superior feudalistic society, able to this unscrupulously squander womens feelings, crus.h.i.+ng their hearts. Are they really not scared of meeting with retribution one day? However, retribution and whatnot, its also quite laughable. Never mind them never feeling that theyre wrong, even if wrong, they still wont care about some retribution.

Were husband and wife, whats there that you cant tell me? Li Hong Yuan gently brushed against her cheek.

Jing Wan paused, For better or worse, its still ones legal wife, how could they not give any face like this? Never once even pretending, so hateful! Hugging Li Hong Yuans neck, her fingers rubbed against the back of his neck. Opening her palm, she clutched the back of his neck, strangely producing a dark current, wanting to break this mans neck.
