Chapter 284.2: Shake Up

Su Tings tears fell, crying increasingly violently, to the extent that she was wailing. When she finished crying, what she needed to face, she still had to go face.

After she finished crying, Su Ting let someone prepare water for her, bathing, changing, and applying makeup. She was Kaiming Fus number one beauty, so should just have the appearance and bearing of a number one beauty.

After meticulously tidying up, she became a beauty in name and in reality again. Just, compared to the past, there seemingly was a little more calmness and reservation on her. In some peoples eyes, this was probably even more attractive, but in some other peoples eyes, they would probably feel that she has become stiff and wooden, no longer that limitlessly romantic.

As for Su Tings di older sister, she went to go see her own mother, the Inspector General Madam, having an intimate mother-daughter talk. Dont know as to why, the conversation turned onto Su Ting again.

Different from the past, the Inspector General Madam was no longer cold in facing, instead opening her mouth to let her daughter not make things difficult for her anymore, She is nothing more than a pitiful person.

Mother, why are you suddenly saying this? She remembered very clearly, towards that womans appearance, how heartbroken her mother was, and how much her mother hated at the time. Even if afterwards, she came to acceptance, towards that pair of mother and daughter, she didnt have any good face either. Although surprising, she still sensed her mothers peculiar mood, Mother, did something happen?

Nothing. Some things cant be said, and she also didnt want to erase her daughters last bit of childlike affection towards her own father. If she knew that her own father was ruthless and heartless to that degree, dont know how heartbroken and sad she will be.

She originally still wanted to say some more, but seeing her mother not wis.h.i.+ng to continue, she no longer asked. She kept feeling it wasnt anything good.

Unknown as to when, Inspector General Su returned to the manor, and let someone call over Su Ting. Seeing Su Tings bearing and expression, seemingly already understanding everything, he thus didnt say too much, rather becoming a gentle father once again, letting her nicely rest up, yet didnt ask her how she got injured. What he was concerned with was just all of Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wans words and actions during this whole process.

Su Ting also systematically narrated in full detail, telling him everything. Although it wasnt considered word for word, overall there wasnt any discrepancies, nor was there any personal intense emotions.

After Inspector General Su finished listening, on the surface, one couldnt make out any peculiarities. He had Su Ting sent away, and afterwards, sat in his original spot, drinking tea while he quietly contemplated. The final important point was actually: Jin w.a.n.gfei!

Luo Pei Song kept them for the meal. Regardless of whether or not Li Hong Yuan was willing, as long as Jing Wan nodded her head, it was enough. In any case, Luo Pei Song could tell, on these trivial matters, he completely didnt need to inquire a certain someones opinion. If Jing Wan says yes, then he wont object, practically just the wife sings, the husband follows.

As the female sides elder, there was nothing more worth being happy over than this. After all, Luo Pei Songs restraining fear towards the living Enma wasnt as deep as his own older brother, saying whatever came to mind, and even if lecturing, it was also just that. At most, it was nothing more than just clapping his hands and leaving in a few days, completely not needing to worry that he will get made to wear tight shoes or whatnot. However, Luo Pei Song discovered, he still underestimated the living Enmas tolerance level. On Wan girls matter, that heart was perhaps smaller than a needle, but towards everything else, it completely wasnt like what hed heard, certain to take revenge on the smaller matter. Even if he really were to point at his nose and scold him, he can still remain unmoved. Luo Pei Song knew, in this matter, its not that there wasnt Wan girls factor inside, but he could further tell, this person was increasingly deep and unmeasurable. No power, no influence? Not having a single good point? Perhaps, in this battle for the throne, this was actually the greatest variable.

Luo Pei Song drifted along outside of the capital, but it didnt mean that towards the Luo familys matters, he was just completely indifferent. On the contrary, the Luo family had the people he cared about the most, and was his root. He was very clear of ones honor, the wholes honor, ones loss, the wholes loss. Him being able to be carefree outside wasnt unrelated to his older brother. He believed, if something were to happen to the Luo family, even if he doesnt get implicated, when traveling outside in the future, he will certainly meet with shunning. And perhaps, for the sake of eliminating the weeds at the roots, him dying in some corner was all possible.

Thinking to here, Luo Pei Song felt, he perhaps should return to the capital. It was necessary to have a nice talk with his older brother.

Luo Pei Songs meal was the same as the other court academicians, all uniformly delivered by the people of Kaiming Academy. And learning that there was a w.a.n.gye and w.a.n.gfei present, they naturally needed to add dishes, but even if adding, it wasnt like the officials of Kaiming Fu either, exhausting all kinds of thoughts, and the amount of dishes was also far from comparison.

Towards the officials of Kaiming Fu, it was that sort of belittling, so at this time, his appet.i.te appear rather good.

Because Jing Wan was present, and didnt let Jiang Wan Li leave either, they once again used the one table one seat arrangement, also adding on Yu Zhong Qing and Sir s.h.i.+.

After his impression towards Li Hong Yuan changed, Luo Pei Song also no longer deliberately nitpicked, calmly chatting with Li Hong Yuan.

Li Hong Yuans words still werent considered much, but regardless of what they talked about, he was all able to follow up. Moreover, every time, he was all able to state the point, even hitting the nail on the head. Even if discussing scholarly text, it definitely wasnt anything difficult either. Aside from Jing Wan, there probably wasnt anyone that wasnt surprised. Jiang Wan Li although was reserved and not boastful, he firmly believed that among the younger generation, in terms of scholarly learning, there shouldnt be many that were capable of being on par with him, and even if encountered, it wasnt that strange either. Just, when this person was an imperial prince, a young qinw.a.n.g, then that was just truly too surprising.

The things that an imperial prince needed to learn were numerous, but no one would ever have them cultivated in the direction of having great erudition and great talent.

(T/N: The last part is similar to how someone whos going to be the CEO of a big company doesnt necessarily need a PhD in cla.s.sic literature.)

If in terms of scholarly learning, they were somewhat considered equals, then Jin Qinw.a.n.gs comprehension of the material world was just something he was far inferior to. He seemingly stood at a height that the ma.s.s was unable to reach, carrying a talking idly about important matters att.i.tude. Never mind him benefiting, even Luo Pei Song all unexpectedly obtained enlightenment from within.

Then again, Li Hong Yuan has gone through his past life and current life, and even if all the years of his experiences added together was still a chunk shorter than Luo Pei Songs, he has already experienced the misery of life, tasted all of the sadness, gone through the destabilization of the country, seen all of the tragedies of the battlefield, caused a country that was being tossed about in the wind and rain to become prosperous, and in the end, further experienced death. All these aspects, how many can be on par with him? So naturally he saw far and wide, his understanding profound.

And Luo Pei Song, even if a great scholar, towards the experiences of life, in the end, he still had a much narrower understanding, and moreover, he for the most part has never touched upon the major matters of ruling a rising and falling country.

Listening to the words of a ruler surpa.s.sed ten years of studying.

Jiang Wan Li genuinely performed a great bow towards Li Hong Yuan, because Li Hong Yuans words even filled in his deficiencies.

Speaking of which, in this aspect, there wasnt necessarily lacking elements of Li Hong Yuans deliberateness inside. After all, he was also clear, in the very beginning, where Jiang Wan Li was lacking in. Filling in the gap for him now will shorten the winding road of his official career, so that in the future, he can better and quicker serve him. When the people under him are capable, he, this boss, will be even more relaxed, no? Able to be at ease at being the handsfree shopkeeper, not having any lingering worries.

And Luo Pei Songs negative one hundred favorability rating towards Li Hong Yuan directly shot up to almost a positive one hundred. All kinds of unpleasant to the eyes just became all kinds of pleasant to the eyes.

Jing Wans eyes spun around, lightly sighing inside. Should say, as expected of the living Enma? As soon as he wants to curry favor with someone, there was no one that couldnt be easily won over by him. Although, the situation currently was far from fawning, at most considered gaining some favorability points in pa.s.sing, just the results were very impressive, truly too good.

And during this entire process, the only one that remained silent was just Yu Zhong Qing alone. After all, he came from a military background, and although he similarly studied before, compared with these people, he was still lacking by a lot. Of course, what he didnt understand was also just some of the things from the books. Current trends and political affairs, what he understood was probably second only to Li Hong Yuan. After all, he guarded by Le Cheng Emperors side every day, having everything listened in. As long as one wasnt too stupid, as time went on, what one didnt understand, one should all understand.

But, towards Li Hong Yuan, he was still truly and honestly shocked. Having witnessed his ruthlessness and finesse, then witnessing his wisdom and farsightedness, towards Le Cheng Emperor abandoning such an outstanding son, he truly felt Le Cheng Emperor was recklessly wasting natural resources, and at the same time, was also further curious as to why his Majesty did this.
