Chapter 414.1: The Truth Coming to Light? The Fourth One

Jing Wan and the two elders drank a bit of warm tea and nibbled on some snacks, as they idly chatted, very much pleasing.

Afterwards, not long later, Li Hong Yuan just appeared.

Jing Wan was surprised inside, This quick? She originally thought that perhaps shell have to wait until its time to leave the palace before seeing him again.

Li Hong Yuan waved his hand, exempting Sir Luo and Luo Old Madam from bowing. These two also werent the least bit humble either. What was that, etiquette cannot be abolished? Clearly they wont hold back towards the person that stole their granddaughter.

Li Hong Yuan sat down by Jing Wans side, directly picking up Jing Wans tea cup and taking two sips, before finally opening his mouth, A complete fall out.

His expression and tone were all very indifferent. Having a disagreement with someone that raised one for that many years, even if ones mood wasnt that bad, for better or worst, it still shouldnt be like as if nothing happened.

The two Luo family elders looked to one another. In other words, the relations.h.i.+p between Jin Qinw.a.n.g and n.o.ble Consort Su seemingly was even more complicated than theyd imagined. Moreover, looking at it, it was obvious that Jin Qinw.a.n.g occupied the upper hand. Setting aside how n.o.ble Consort Su treated Jing Wan, on this bit, it was truly very disgusting, but she was the person that raised him for twenty some years after all, so their impression towards this was still not too good.

He was able to build up that much power under the eyes of that many people, yet able to let everyone all think that he was powerless with no influence. Such deep calculations, the hand reaching the heavens, yet also this fickle and cold, if he wanted to do something to Wan Wan, Wan Wan definitely would get played until theres nothing left. Alright, how Li Hong Yuan was to others, they didnt care. Even if n.o.ble Consort Su gets killed by him, they wont care either. The one they worried about was forever just Jing Wan.

Li Hong Yuan had their expressions taken in, yet didnt say anything. How he was towards Jing Wan, he didnt need to use his mouth to tell others. He will only use his actions to prove. Sooner or later, there will be a day where he will let those that genuinely care for Jing Wan be absolutely rea.s.sured towards him, and every time mentioning Jing Wan, they will all say she had good fortune, marrying a good husband. Of course, this wasnt really him deliberately doing for others to see. After all, as time pa.s.ses, outsiders will eventually know, and what they will say, one can for the most part guess.

Jing Wans attention was on Li Hong Yuan the entire time, Cant you let someone prepare a cup for you. Itll only take a moment.

Li Hong Yuans line of sight landed on her lips, What hasnt this prince tasted before, would one be bothered by this?

These words, probably only young girls that havent experienced anything wouldnt understand the deeper meaning. It was fine messing around in private, but this while, in front of the two elders

Jing Wans face immediately exploded. Never mind now, even in her past life, this kind of things, bringing out in front of the elders, would also be quite shameful. Jing Wan flew into a rage out of embarra.s.sment, subconsciously extending her foot to kick Li Hong Yuan. After kicking, she finally realized in hindsight that shed done something stupid again. To be having a lovers quarrel and whatnot in front of her grandparents, Jing Wan wished that she could find a crack to squeeze into.

The corner of her eye secretly glanced towards the two elders across from her. They were very calmly drinking tea, very tacitly chatting with one another. It wasnt forcefully finding a topic, but rather very natural.

Jing Wan relaxed a breath, forcing herself to calm down, letting the heat on her face fade as quickly as possible. Then, she ruthlessly shot a glare at Li Hong Yuan. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, cant he pay attention to the setting a little?

Li Hong Yuan still just laughed and didnt speak. His wife also had times where she liked to deceive herself.

Laugh, laugh, laugh, whats so funny, still laughing?

Luo Old Madam saw Jing Wans rare look of embarra.s.sment. She really was becoming more and more delicate, this little temper also growing. This was something shed spent several years trying to achieve, yet was all unable to. Then, seeing the obvious little footprint on the hem of Jin Qinw.a.n.gs gown, as the wife, having the guts to kick ones qinw.a.n.g husband, this granddaughter of hers was probably also the first. But this granddaughter still didnt realize just how shocking of a thing shed done, and looking to Jin Qinw.a.n.g, it was a look of neither hurt nor tickled, not only not getting angry, but even lovingly smiling with indulgence.

One can see the truth in the details. In private, their interactions were probably even more unreserved. Thats why, her worries perhaps really were a bit excessive? At least, judging from the present, it was indeed so.

On the inside, she still lightly sighed. Prior to Jing Wan marrying, regardless of how she doted on her, although in reality, because her bodys condition was displayed there, Wan Wan ultimately remained rational from beginning to end, restraining herself. And towards her, this grandmother, she attentively took care of, not needing others to worry, not giving others trouble, doing things that many all wouldnt be able to do even after experiencing through hards.h.i.+p. Jing Wan not reaching her ideal and just marrying, to say she wasnt disappointed and regretful inside was a lie. After all, as a wife, one would only have more hards.h.i.+ps, and further cant act like a pampered young daughter.

(T/N: Its only ever subtly noted throughout the novel, but Luo Old Madam isnt really as healthy as she appears. A few years prior to the start of the novel, she actually almost pa.s.sed away from illness, but survived through willpower because she was worried about leaving Jing Wan alone.)

But looking at it now, Wan Wan was the complete opposite. If not for being spoiled by her husband, it was definitely impossible for her to be like this. Moreover, it wasnt the ordinary kind of spoiling. Only the kind where she completely didnt need to worry about anything would it be like this. And with Li Hong Yuans status and position, as long as he was willing, he completely can accomplish this.

It was obvious, he not only was willing, but even did exactly just that. Speaking from this bit, Luo Old Madam felt that perhaps she should thank Jin Qinw.a.n.g.

Jing Wan retracted her gaze, inadvertently catching Luo Old Madams line of sight again, her breathing growing a bit heavier as she lowered her eyes, obediently pretending to be an ostrich.

Jing Wan felt embarra.s.sed, but Li Hong Yuan was completely unconcerned. They were the people closest to Wan Wan. Him being intimate with Wan Wan, at most it was just pretending to lecture a few words, but on the inside, it was mostly still feeling happy. Thats why, some things didnt really have that many misgivings. Li Hong Yuan was someone that did things as he pleased, but in reality, on Jing Wans matters, he actually cared quite a lot, caring about her and her everything.

Li Hong Yuan and Luo Old Madam glanced at one another, both having a tacit understanding.

Li Hong Yuan idly chatted with the two Luo family elders, waiting for Jing Wan to voluntarily have her head pulled out. Because they were all considerate, Jing Wan, this ostrich, didnt hide her head for long.

They didnt ask about matters regarding n.o.ble Consort Su, yet Li Hong Yuan voluntarily mentioned, for nothing else other than wanting to ease their hearts, because they wholeheartedly cared for Jing Wan.

In other words, Li Hong Yuan treating n.o.ble Consort Su as such wasnt because he was heartless, but rather having its own reason.

There was just the four of them present. The people serving them had all withdrawn far away. Based on Li Hong Yuans acute sense, they can ensure that there wont be a fifth person hearing.

Although it wasnt Jing Wans first time hearing Li Hong Yuan mention this matter, but hearing again, she still felt very much heartbroken. At the time, he was only ten years old. How could n.o.ble Consort Su be that heartless, how could she do such a thing? Even raising a cat or dog, one was able to have feelings, let alone a person, even putting in her heart and blood, exhausting her thoughts.

When facing n.o.ble Consort Su, Jing Wan actually wanted to grab her and shake her with all her might, letting her brain come to its sense, wanting to ask her, when doing it, did she ever once hesitate in the slightest?

The two Luo family elders although were more restrained, their expressions were similarly very ugly. In reality, the two of them also werent the type to emphasize on blind loyalty and unquestioning filial piety. Thats why, they didnt feel that the things Li Hong Yuan did to n.o.ble Consort Su now was wrong in the slightest, or that he shouldnt do.

Then again, if these two were that typeit is whatever the parents say it is, whatever the parents do, its all correct, or whatever the parents do, one all cant disobey, then never mind Li Hong Yuan not telling them anything, even Jing Wans relations.h.i.+p with them all wont be that good.

After getting angry, Luo Pei Shan slightly narrowed his eyes, penetrating with a bit of piercing danger, n.o.ble Consort Su targeting Wan Wan for no reason, this is treating this old man as a dead person?

Thats why, for Luo Pei Shan, this old fox, some things that still werent suited to be pulled out, he wont touch, but him venting out his anger because of his granddaughter, what will you do? Based on Luo Pei Shans sly manner in handling matters, in addition to a Head Cabinet Minister Ruan Rui Zhong a.s.sisting from the side, no matter how much Li Hong Ming suffers, he still wont be able to find an excuse to complain before Le Cheng Emperor.

n.o.ble Consort Su was too sly in some of her methods, and moreover, she was successful in her every endeavor. When using on Jing Wan, she also never once considered whether or not it was appropriate. Speaking of which, the biggest difference between Jing Wan and Rui w.a.n.gfei was that Jing Wan wont let herself be controlled, and also wont be restricted by reputation. The same thing, Rui w.a.n.gfei will just suffer in silence, but Jing Wan absolutely wont. Rui w.a.n.gfei has never resisted before, and moreover, when instructing her daughter-in-laws, n.o.ble Consort Su generally would always do it in private, so others naturally dont know. Then, her occasionally saying a few words that had deeper meaning, an average person really wont think too much. However, the two elders of the Luo family both werent simple either. They loved Jing Wan dearly. And Li Hong Yuan further wasnt someone to be trifled with. Jing Wan was the pearl of his eye, the meat of his heart. Loving Jing Wan deep into his bones all wasnt an exaggeration. Thats why, having bullied Jing Wan, yet still counting on it being like when training Rui w.a.n.gfei, peaceful with no repercussion, even bringing her a beautiful reputation, must be dreaming!
