Chapter 307.2: Once Again Suffering a Crus.h.i.+ng Defeat
However, An Jiu was used to following Li Hong Yuan’s orders. He won’t have any complaints, nor any emotions.
Towards Jing Wan, this female master, he perhaps once had some thoughts inside, but now there was none, completely acknowledging her.
“In the past a shadow guard, number rank nine(jiu), proficient in medicine and disguise, Wan Wan why don’t you give him a new name.” Li Hong Yuan casually said.
Giving a name, this kind of thing, normally was all the master’s job, but at this time, no one bothered to look into what particular intentions Li Hong Yuan had at this very moment either.
Jing Wan sat down by Li Hong Yuan’s side, “Since the number rank is nine(jiu), then just use Jiu as the name, and add a surname in front. What’s your surname in the past?”
“Replying to master, majority of the shadow guards have no root, and have no family, not knowing one’s origin, not knowing one’s surname. This subordinate is also like so.”
“In that case, in the future, go with Gong mama’s surname then, and just go by Gong Jiu.”
Although long without sorrow and joy, but when Jing Wan said the last two words, An Jiu, no, in the future it’s Gong Jiu, his body still faintly shook. From now on, he was no longer someone with just a code name, living in the dark. He had a name, had a surname, which also means he had a root. “Many thanks master.”
Jing Wan just nodded, and didn’t say anything else.
Li Hong Yuan turned his head to look at her, “This husband thought that you would let him have the Luo surname.”
“For all things, too far is just as bad as not enough.”
“What is this husband’s is also Wan Wan’s, no need to divide that clearly.”
“Too far is just as bad as not enough.” Jing Wan repeated through clenched teeth. b.a.s.t.a.r.d, can’t understand what you’re hearing, huh?
“Alright, alright, Wan Wan has always been cautious. In any case, it’s already not the first or second time.”
Jing Wan wasn’t sure if the veins on her forehead were bulging. Clearly knowing what she meant, yet insist on twisting it, “Shut up!”
Li Hong Yuan revealed a very shocked expression, “Wasn’t Wan Wan always gentle and virtuous, yet actually would be this mean, and even only mean towards this husband.” Speaking to the end, he even sounded very wronged.
“Li Hong Yuan, I told you to shut up!” This time, the veins on Jing Wan’s forehead really were bulging, truly hating that she can’t kick him.
Jing Wan’s voice this time wasn’t small at all. Including the people outside, all heard clearly, and that expression was also quite interesting. Speaking of which, w.a.n.gfei’s temperament has always been very good. What did w.a.n.gye do this time to be able to have w.a.n.gfei angered? However to dare let w.a.n.gye shut up, w.a.n.gfei is also the first one.
As for the other people in the room, their composure wasn’t all that great, all covering their mouths, their two shoulders shaking. Holding back a laugh truly was very exhausting.
Li Hong Yuan, seeing that his wife really was quite angry, also didn’t continue pretending, the corner of his mouth slightly hooking as he waved his hand, letting the others all go out.
Naturally no one dare to slight, successively bowing as they quickly retreated out.
Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled as he had Jing Wan pulled into his arms. Jing Wan angrily glared at him, yet the smile on his face not only didn’t reduce, instead becoming even more distinct. “How come my little darling is this attractive? Wan Wan, don’t you think so?”
Jing Wan’s complexion darkened even more, but that bit of strength of hers, compared to many girls was indeed much greater, but in front of Li Hong Yuan, it was practically just ‘a mantis trying to block a carriage’. “Attractive? Attracting other’s teasing for fun?” She grinded her teeth, hating that she can’t bite him to death.
“How can that be? This husband was just seeing Wan Wan being this solemn, thus wanted to joke with you, that’s all. You really are my darling, my life.”
Jing Wan inwardly cursed, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, b.a.s.t.a.r.d, b.a.s.t.a.r.d……….If you talk reason with him, he can deliberately make a hundred and eighty twists and turns. If you go hard on him, he can just pour out sweet talk and honeyed words, incredibly soft. If you get angry at him, he can be like sweet cowhide, sticky to death! And just like this, it was just her that was gloomy in the end, making her not have a temper anymore. It’s not that she never told herself before, don’t lower herself to his level, but every so often when it came time, she was completely unable to control herself. Her composure was also becoming increasingly terrible.
Since Jing Wan was unable to struggle free, she just chomped down on his neck, and moreover, didn’t hold back in the slightest, all the way until her mouth was full of blood.
For Li Hong Yuan, never mind struggling, he didn’t even let out a groan. He hooked the corner of his mouth, his eyes slightly closing, seemingly even appearing to be enjoying a little.
After Jing Wan finished biting, she lifted her head, deliberately licking the bloodstains on the corners of her mouth, wanting to give him a show of might, yet as a result, seeing Li Hong Yuan’s expression, her heart hiccuped. This is failing to show off her might, and instead aroused a certain nerve of his? Just knew this man had problems inside. Was this still the reaction of a normal person?
“Has Wan Wan’s anger quelled? Want to bite a few more times?” That smile was enough to bewitch all living things.
“No need, already not angry anymore.”
“Really? As expected, it’s still Wan Wan that’s the best, the anger just quelling this easily.” His thumb rubbed against Jing Wan’s lips, getting stained with his own blood. Slowly retracting, he placed it by his lips, licking it, his gaze exceptionally blatant………..
Clearly knowing it was very dangerous, yet Jing Wan’s heart uncontrollably trembled all over. Help, she was also not normal!
“Wan Wan knows what state this husband is in right now, right? Actually, comparatively speaking, rather want to taste Wan Wan’s blood to return the beautiful taste.”
Next, it was all kinds of unable to be described, and sure enough, the final outcome was a hundred times more worse than expected, once again turning deathly pale. Jing Wan’s body was completely limp. In this lifetime, she most likely all won’t have the opportunity to overturn the situation. Just, as long as my lord’s heart does not change, so what if it’s like this for a lifetime? Jing Wan’s face lightly rubbed against her arm. Her increasingly tender and beautiful face carried a smile, a smile of happiness.
In the outer room, “Master, already investigated clearly.”
Li Hong Yuan crookedly leaned on the large pillow, one hand weakly propping against the side of his cheek. His hair was rather tidily and neatly bound, just the collar area of his clothes was somewhat disorderly, his entire person very languid, seemingly a bit out of sorts. An Yi, upon not hearing a response for quite some time, also didn’t reiterate, just quietly waiting.
After about a cup of tea’s time, he finally moved, forcibly sitting upright a little. Eunuch Mu quickly but not frantically offered up a cup of tea.
Li Hong Yuan lowered his head shallowly taking a sip. It was the herbal tea his wife prepared. Truthfully speaking, Li Hong Yuan actually didn’t like this tea’s taste all too much, but his wife said it was good for the body. Giving it to him, he also can indifferently drink.
“Speak.” Li Hong Yuan placed down the cup, lightly loosening his neck, and then slowly closed his eyes.
An Yi briefly recounted, “…………..Those bodhi seed buddhist beads were also sent by them.”
Li Hong Yuan opened his eyes, not saying a single word. It was clear, this matter didn’t arouse the slightest emotion for him, “Pa.s.s on the message, in half a month, Shannan Prefecture will carry out the provincial exam. This prince will personally oversee. Mu An, write a memorandum for this prince to deferentially ask imperial father to personally draft the exam question.”
(T/N: Provincial exam is the one that’s after the courtyard exam.)
They probably didn’t expect that Li Hong Yuan’s train of thought was this random. This clearly was two matters that were completely unrelated.
However, regardless of what kind of decision Li Hong Yuan makes, they just needed to carry out, that’s all.
The people following by Li Hong Yuan’s side at present, not a single one was able to partic.i.p.ate in the affair with the status of an aide or advisor. However, these things, he alone can also take care of.
