Chapter 262.1: Hot Springs, Breaking A Marriage Arrangement

After not seeing the living Enmas shadow for a while, and also not knowing where he went, gradually, everyone also just had him thoroughly forgotten about, and happily began playing. Even the few years old big and small beansprouts were also running around everywhere. The estate was much much bigger than their home, able to play around however they wanted, with their w.a.n.gfei older sister backing them, and no one to restrain them, practically cant be too happy.

And Jing Wan, because there were even more people accompanying her now, seemingly also went crazy from playing. Even Sun Yi Jia, this kind of top-notch proper young lady that had been raised with the strictest rules and standards since childhood, also followed her into the waters, and up a tree, madly running around. She was someone that was already a mother, yet just had her daughter thrown to the father, thats right, father, not wet nurse, and afterwards, just played around like a child herself. Luo Jing Bo, after the initial astonishment and helpless, ultimately could only shrug his shoulders and express his acceptance. In any case, having his little siss backing, his wife has already crawled onto his head, and most likely, in his lifetime, he all wont have a chance to free himself. Forget it, he didnt plan on doing anything to begin with anyways, and its rare for her to be that lively and happy. Moreover, even Jin Qinw.a.n.g was all able to tolerate little sis doing that.

Luo Jing Bo right now was similarly quite skilled in holding his daughter. Just, right now, he was a bit worried, will his daughter still be able to be raised into a qualifying young lady? However, seeing his daughter tiny like a little lump, forget it, it was too early to think about this.

If even Sun Yi Jia was all this way, then further dont need to mention the already a bit crazy to begin with Yuan Qiao Qiao.

The result of enjoying oneself too much was just getting completely wiped out. Thus, Jing Wan let someone arrange their respective accommodations, and also let someone have the evening meal separately sent over, especially for the younger ones, repeatedly warning their servant girls and wet nurses that after giving them a hot bath, also must drink a dose of cold preventing medicine. She will send someone to have it prepared.

After finis.h.i.+ng up these things, Jing Wan finally realized in hindsight that she seemingly had her own husband completely forgotten about, having not seen the person this whole time. She had that bit of a guilty conscience inside.

Returning to the villas main courtyard, she saw Eunuch Mu. Then, in other words, he was in the main courtyard, Mu An, wheres w.a.n.gye?

Eunuch Mu somewhat timidly looked to Jing Wan. About that, masters mood wasnt that good right now.

Replying to w.a.n.gfei, master went to the hot spring pond.

Hot spring pond()? Isnt that just hot springs()? This estate actually has hot springs? However, thinking it over, it seemingly wasnt that strange. However, in the main courtyard, one didnt see a hot spring. To have actually not been extended in, this seemingly didnt match with a certain someones style. Where is it? When asking this, she finally noticed Eunuch Mu being slightly off. Whats wrong, did something happen?

(T/N: is the archaic term for hot springs, while is the modern word for it.)

No, nothing. Eunuch Mu quivered, This servant will take you over?

Jing Wan slightly contemplated for a moment, and then nodded, instructing her servant girls to prepare clothing and other personal items.

Although this was the main courtyard, there wasnt an actual significant wall, a corridor every five steps, a scenery every ten steps, branching in every direction, going around for a while. Jing Wan finally saw another scenery behind the main courtyard. This places position was special, and one can only come here by pa.s.sing through the main courtyard. Shed just arrived yesterday, and still havent toured the back area yet, so no wonder she wouldnt know.

This hot spring pond very much had the same features as the ones in her past life and was built out in the open. Next to it were real mountains, then contrasted with the various craggy odd rocks of a rock garden, as if naturally piled up. This kind of layout complemented the whole very well. Truthfully speaking, compared with the square bath pond drawn indoors, which lacked that aesthetic, this naturally further matched with Jing Wans taste.

More importantly, in many places, it was all adorned with gla.s.s lanterns, and at this time, the candle inside was already lit, just like that wall lantern that was embedded into the stone wall, and that garden lantern that was buried into the ground, the light although wasnt that bright, the ambience it created was ample. Because shed once experienced a nightless civilization

before, this place, at first glance, even appeared somewhat serene. However, this kind of feeling disappeared very quickly, just feeling that it resembled nature itself.

w.a.n.gfei, master should be behind the rockery, this servant wont be going over.

Since Eunuch Mu said this, the servant girls also quite perceptively stopped in their steps, no longer advancing.

Mu An, did w.a.n.gye let you stay in the front courtyard? Jing Wan pensively asked.

Replying to w.a.n.gfei, master didnt need this servant serving, thus this servant stayed in the front courtyard. As a good underling, one naturally needed to know how to make out the intentions of ones master. Although under normal circ.u.mstances, he wasnt able to make out anything, but since master was already being that obvious, if he still didnt understand, then he can also just get lost.

Just, Eunuch Mu couldnt help but complain inside. If you miss w.a.n.gfei, just say it clearly, if you want to let w.a.n.gfei go over, just say it directly, why must you insist on letting us bear your heavy pressure.

Even if your master doesnt need serving, you can still wait here, and not go to the front.

Jing Wan felt she might have discovered something interesting. Her husband was probably a bit of a tsundere

.

Jing Wan mysteriously laughed, laughing to the point where it made the others a bit baffled.

Jing Wan proceeded alone, crossing over a small wooden bridge, and going around two layers of rockery, afterwards seeing Li Hong Yuan soaking in the water shrouded by curling mist. The angle where Jing Wan stood was at his side rear. His fine black hair was loosely draped over his shoulders, part of it sticking to the side of his face, following along downwards, brus.h.i.+ng by the shoulder, and hanging in the water. And under the surface of the water, it separated into threads. That scene really was quite enticing.

Perhaps for the sake of convenience, next to his hand, there was a piece of a relatively smooth rock, and placed on it was wine. Although just a palm high small bottle, the amount of them werent few, and there were already five six wine bottles knocked over. In other words, he has drank at least five six bottles. Jing Wan furrowed her brow, Ah Yuan..

Li Hong Yuan didnt react, like as if drunk, his mental state already sluggish. However, his movement in pouring the wine was very smooth. It can be seen, he really wasnt drunk. Afterwards, Jing Wan strangely sensed a kind of Im not happy, Im very angry, quickly come coax me air on him. Dont know if one should call this intuition, but Jing Wan precisely thought this.

She soundlessly laughed, but just when she was preparing to go forward, she stepped on a foreign object. Looking down, it was his clothes. When she saw him, her attention was just on him, so actually didnt notice. Just, in the next instant, Jing Wans pupils suddenly shrunk. On that pure white inner garment was a patch of dark red, making one immediately think of blood. She hurriedly went forward, disregarding her clothes and whatnot, directly stepping into the pond, Ah Yuan, youre injured? Where did you get hurt? If youre injured, how can you still soak in the water? Asking as she looked him over. And seemingly afraid of accidentally touching his wound, she didnt dare to use her hands.

Li Hong Yuan, who originally wanted to give her the cold-shoulder, seeing her this anxious, had no way of ignoring, grasping her hand, Im fine, its not my blood. No matter how reckless, I still wouldnt soak in the hot springs after sustaining injuries.

Jing Wan relaxed a breath, thank goodness. Shed also just panicked out of worry. Then again, thinking back to Mu An, one shouldve known. If his master had really gotten injured, dying the clothes red, it was impossible to not have any reactions. Moreover, he definitely wouldve long looked for her.

What did you go do today? Theres quite a lot of blood on the clothes.

Prior to last night, Jing Wan would worry about his injury, but wont ask him what he went to do. Yet these words right now came out rather naturally.

Li Hong Yuan let go of her hand, and coldly glanced at her, Dont you just have others in your heart, what are you bothering with me for?

Aiyaayaya, really did get angry, just because she neglected him for half a day.

Jing Wan giddily moved closer, Sorry, I know I was wrong.

Li Hong Yuan still had a cold face, his left cheek stamped with Im upset, and his right cheek stamped with quickly coax. Jing Wan couldnt hold back, immediately leaning in and kissing him twice, but he was still aloof.

Jing Wan continued coaxing, yet still didnt see any results.

Afterwards, Jing Wan pulled back and withdrew, directly going ash.o.r.e.

Nightless civilization

Literally the chinese word for tsundere, and if you dont know what that is, just google it.
