Chapter 281.3: Need to Learn From the Living Enma
“w.a.n.gfei, this subject really is unable to continue living. My father, he wants to have me married to a person that’s old enough to be a grandfather as a concubine. w.a.n.gfei, you don’t know how disgusting that whole family is. As such, it would be better to just let me die. Begging w.a.n.gfei to have mercy and save this subject. Yesterday, this subject wasn’t thinking of doing anything to w.a.n.gye, just truly having no other way, thus would take such action.”
“Having you married to an old man as a concubine is your own father. If even he doesn’t heartache for you, based on what do you think an outsider will just heartache for you? He doesn’t have kindness, yet you demand a stranger to have kindness? Based on what do you think an outsider should just ought to have kindness? This way of thinking of yours really makes one feel quite strange. Also, don’t want to be an old man’s concubine, so just willing to recommend yourself as a pillow to a young and handsome man, serving as a slave, as a servant? That whole family is disgusting, but do you understand Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor’s situation?” What the h.e.l.l kind of logic was all this?!
Su Ting bit her lip, seemingly unable to respond. A moment later, “Since father raised me, no matter who he marries me to, I all shouldn’t have any complaint, but truly, truly………………” As if it was extremely difficult to speak, “w.a.n.gfei, prior to you all arriving in Kaiming Fu, this subject was already in despair, because no one can help this subject. If you are unwilling to have this subject kept at the side, as long as you have this subject taken away from the Su family, and taken away from Kaiming Fu, it’ll be enough. Even if from now on fleeing to the ends of the world………”
Jing Wan mockingly interrupted her, “This face of yours fleeing to the ends of the world? More like wanting to flee to the red light district, right? Then, according to your meaning, rather to serve a thousand men, than be willing to serve one?”
Su Ting got choked by Jing Wan quite severely, “Then might as well slash this face.”
“Heheh, then why didn’t you slash it long ago? Without this face, would your father still have you given away? Fleeing to the ends of the world is already doable, so ‘the young lantern before the ancient buddha[1]‘ isn’t necessarily impossible either, right?”
After repeatedly getting humiliating, Su Ting was also furious, “When all is said and done, w.a.n.gfei just doesn’t have the slightest merciful heart. In the end, w.a.n.gfei is just worried that someone pretty than you will steal away w.a.n.gye.”
“Selling your misery and pretending to be pitiful didn’t work, so just flew into a rage out of humiliation? You think such a low level provocation, I will fall for? Setting aside whether or not I have a merciful heart for now, just worrying about w.a.n.gye getting stolen, this bit, really is wrongly accusing me. If that easy to get stolen, then why should I care? It’s still not too late to leave now, else I’ll just let someone send you back to the Inspector General Manor.”
Since this didn’t work either, Su Ting changed face again, “w.a.n.gfei, towards w.a.n.gye, this subject really doesn’t have any schemes, so please just help this subject. Even if you firmly believe that this subject harbor ulterior motives, with w.a.n.gye having countless concubines, what difference is there with one more? This subject certainly will be of one mind with you at all time……………”
“No matter how many more concubines he has, what does it have to do with you? Clearly knowing a wolf, yet still leading into the room, is it that am I stupid, or you think that I would be this stupid? I’ll say it one last time, get lost, otherwise this w.a.n.gfei will just have to reprimand Inspector General Su for a crime of not properly educating his daughter.”
“All say w.a.n.gfei is compa.s.sionate, but really should just let people see the you right now.” Su Ting staggered as she got up, a look of having lost her soul, “Since that’s the case……………” Su Ting violently charged towards the edge, just the direction she headed towards was the one with the most people, “Might as well just die…………”
Just, when she reached the protective railings, deathly clutching the rails, the tip of her fingernails seeping with blood, she probably never thought that she not only didn’t get blocked, but those few people also just avoided her like avoiding the plague. Su Ting somewhat absentmindedly looked down. Why, why was every step all different from what she’d expected?
“This is wanting to commit suicide? What are you leaning on the edge for, with one lift of the foot, you’ll just flip over. Falling down at this height also don’t need to worry about not being able to die.” Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s tone was light as a feather, yet the words were ruthless. “Since you don’t have that courage, this prince will just help you. Someone come, have her thrown down for this prince.”
The others at most just coldly watched from the sides. When it comes to the living Enma, other than towards Jing Wan, it has always been doing more than saying.
If he has sympathy, has mercy, hesitating when acting, then he wouldn’t be the living Enma.
Master has given an order.
Two guards went forward, grabbing her right and left arm, having her upper body pressed forward, just about to push out.
“Don’t——–” Su Ting endlessly cried out in fear, turning her hand and deathly pulling on the guards’ sleeves, “w.a.n.gye, w.a.n.gye, this subject was wrong, this subject was wrong, please spare my life, please spare my life……………..”
No longer caring about her image whatsoever, just loudly crying and loudly screaming, practically falling apart.
The people near the Immortal Gazing Lookout all heard her voice, and all couldn’t help but lift their head to search for the voice. There was a portion of them that revealed stifled look, probably having recognized her, or perhaps wasn’t too certain. After all, those clothes…………..Just, did something happen? w.a.n.gye? Kaiming Fu seemingly just welcomed that one w.a.n.gye. What did she do that would cause w.a.n.gye to want to have her thrown down from that high of a place?
Those few that possess ambitions began restlessly stirring inside. Under the circ.u.mstances of not understanding Li Hong Yuan, they just knew, if able to obtain a w.a.n.gye’s recognition, perhaps they will from hereon rapidly rise into a high position.
But Su Ting’s pleading didn’t have the least bit of effect. The guards movement simply didn’t stop in the slightest. She was just a feeble girl, how can she struggle against two guards that were like iron towers. Then, grabbing the feet, lightly using a bit of strength, she was just suspended in midair, half her body already going out.
“………….w.a.n.gfei, I was wrong, really was wrong. I don’t want to die, please spare me, please spare me, begging you, begging you to spare me………..”
Seeing as she was immediately about to fall down, a thousand pounds hanging by a thread, “Forget it.” Jing Wan faintly opened her mouth.
Hearing this, the guards swiftly had Su Ting pulled back, ruthlessly throwing onto the ground.
After getting a new lease on life, Su Ting collapsed on the ground bawling.
“Noisy.” Li Hong Yuan’s voice was cold to the point where even in the sixth month’s weather, it was all bone-penetratingly cold like as if the blood was frozen.
Su Ting was like as if getting clutched by the throat, her voice coming to a halt.
“Get lost!”
Su Ting didn’t dare to have the slightest hesitation, hurriedly getting up, staggeringly running away.
When going down the last two steps of the stairs, don’t know as to how she sprained her foot, her entire body just fell down head first. Fortunately, it was the last two steps, so even if tumbling onto the ground, she didn’t get injured either. Just, that sprained foot was a bit rough, but even so, she still endured the pain, gritting her teeth and getting up, limping as she disappeared at a turn.
“In the future, should I learn a bit from w.a.n.gye’s methods?” Jing Wan looked to Li Hong Yuan asking.
Her letting the person get lost, the person not only didn’t get lost, but even wanted to threaten her with death. This man lets the person get lost, and the person immediately just gets lost for real.
On Li Hong Yuan’s face, the cold ice fractured, spring returning to earth, “Wan Wan indeed need to properly learn. You’re just too softhearted. If you want to do something, you need to do it ruthlessly, leaving no room for maneuver, leaving no way out. That way, no one will dare bounce around, else they’ll all think you’re good tempered and easy to bully, always putting on plays of ‘one, cry, two, throw a tantrum, three, attempt suicide’, so annoying.”
Jing Wan didn’t immediately respond, instead quietly staring at him for a moment, “w.a.n.gye, in the future, don’t play like this, quite boring.”
Li Hong Yuan just smiled, declining to comment. Clearly, this was planning on not listening to Jing Wan’s opinion, preparing to have certain things done to the end.
This man seemingly was determined to have her forced into becoming a violent woman known to all? A jealous wife? Jing Wan truly headached very much.
Could it be that he insisted on her being the same as him? Slightly paying attention to the opposite s.e.x for a moment, or getting glanced at a few extra times by the opposite s.e.x, one will just have to explode in jealousy? No, seemingly even towards the same s.e.x, it was all the same, practically dementedly having men, women, old, young all included, itching to have the ‘third person’ exterminated.
(T/N: I feel like plants, animals, and inanimate objects are also included in that list.)
Never mind that this possessive desire was strong to an abnormal degree, he himself was abnormal, yet even needed to force others to be abnormal together. Was this really good?
Should Jing Wan be glad that he didn’t want to have her locked up, letting her be unable to see anyone else other than him?
Although this was just her subtle perception, Jing Wan was at least seventy percent certain. After all, this man truly displayed it very obviously. Never mind once or twice, but even three, four, five times…………In fact, prior to marrying, he’d already displayed it, if still not having the slightest awareness at all, how slow would she have to be?
Jing Wan just wanted to ask, was there a possibility of fixing? Forget it, if mental disorders were that easily cured, then it wouldn’t be called a mental illness.
“Let’s go, once we go down, switch to another place.” Jing Wan said.
“Just climbed up not that long ago, don’t want to look around anymore? Up here, the scenery is uniquely good.”
“The air has gotten ‘tainted’, so the mood lacking. w.a.n.gye, if during the sightseeing time, you are to attract bees and b.u.t.terflies again, this wife will be very unhappy.”
“Wan Wan, you have to know, this kind of thing, that isn’t something I can control. If encountered, just swiftly and cleanly take care of it, and it’ll be over with, how simple.”
“Shouldn’t this be your business?”
“My business is taking care of the people peeping at you.”
“Nonsense, I’m a married woman with a husband, who would peep at me? Only ever heard of women throwing themselves at married men, never heard of men courting married women before.”
“My Wan Wan isn’t the same, the people constantly thinking about you aren’t few. If I don’t watch tightly, how can that be good?”
“w.a.n.gye is criticizing me for possibly ‘leaning over the garden wall like the red apricot tree’?” Jing Wan looked to him, smiling yet not smiling.
