Chapter 373: The Infamy Rising a Level
He Old Madam had He s.h.i.+ Hai restrained at her side the entire time, so as to prevent him from causing trouble when she’s not looking.
He s.h.i.+ Hai was also rather obedient today, doing whatever his grandmother let him do. Perhaps because there was an outside male present, Li Hong Yuan accompanied by the side.
Upon meeting, He Old Madam just unhesitantly expressed her apologies, not beating around the bush and not being subtle, blunt and straightforward, very much manifesting an entirely different mannerism from ordinary madams.
Li Hong Yuan perfectly played his role as an accompanying guest.
Jing Wan although occupied a high position, towards elders that weren’t the kind that liked to rely on old age to act self-important, ‘having issues’, she has always showed her respect. Because she had somewhat of an understanding towards He Old Madam, towards this old madam that didn’t lose to men, she had even more of a favorable impression. This kind of wise, far-sighted, and sensible person, all in all, was worth admiring.
He Old Madam naturally made out who was the leading host, feeling slightly astonished inside. However, she never once questioned anything either.
He Old Madam casted a side glance, letting her own family’s brat quickly apologize. Just, to not look, it was still okay, but after looking, her eyes couldn’t help but twitch. That burning gaze full of excitement, for those who didn’t know, would think that he saw some stunning beauty, even falling in love at first sight. Then, looking at the target again, although beautiful, even a first cla.s.s beauty, but that was a true and honest man, and genuinely handsome. Li Hong Yuan was peerlessly beautiful, yet he wasn’t the least bit feminine. In his youth, because his appearance hadn’t fully grown out, he was rather androgynous, and perhaps would even get mistaken as a girl, but starting from ‘ten years old’, Li Hong Yuan just slowly turned cruel. Those in the past that made fun of his appearance seemingly all didn’t end well.
He s.h.i.+ Hai’s expression, Jing Wan also took in, but didn’t reveal any particular expression either. Just a fanboy, that’s all. It’s not like she’s never seen this before. Alright, because the ‘target of affection’ was her own husband, Jing Wan still felt a tiny bit strange inside. Jing Wan slightly turned her head and glanced at Li Hong Yuan. A certain someone was rather calm, as if not detecting.
He Old Madam just felt that her hands were very much itching, and if not for the situation not being right, she would’ve ruthlessly had him beaten up. “Little Hai, still not apologizing to her Highness.”
He s.h.i.+ Hai returned to his senses. He was a little tyrant, a reckless person, but he similarly inherited the inherent qualities that a son of a military family should have. Thus, when apologizing to Jing Wan, he was also quite straightforward, similarly sincere.
Jing Wan accepted, but didn’t say anything more. The He family’s family style was displayed there. Their teachings towards He s.h.i.+ Hai most likely wasn’t any less, yet he was still like a little tyrant, so this wasn’t something where her words can have an effect. However, as long as he wasn’t really stubbornly stupid, believe, after this one lesson, at least in the capital, he will still restrain himself somewhat.
He Old Madam didn’t stay long either. After all, this was a special period of time. Even if having Le Cheng Emperor’s ‘decree’, it was still best to be cautious.
Jing Wan let Gong mama have them sent out. Rather, it was little tyrant He that turned back three times after every step, very much unwilling to leave.
Jing Wan looked to Li Hong Yuan, revealing a teasing look, “w.a.n.gye is full of endless charm, even men all fall for you, unable to free oneself.”
“Whether others fall for this princes or not has nothing to do with this prince. This prince just wants Wan Wan to fall for this prince, and that’s enough.”
“Can this He family’s young master be considered a flower by w.a.n.gye’s side? Should this wife have the person disposed of?” Jing Wan ‘deathly clung on’, not letting go, her smile unchanging.
Jin Qinw.a.n.g once ‘ate both men and women’. Towards Jing Wan’s teasing, he was completely unconcerned, “This is unnecessary. As the husband, occasionally should also take care of the troubles for one’s wife. Wan Wan, don’t worry, your husband, no one can have delusions about.”
After the couple mutually teased one another and finished joking, Jing Wan still asked Li Hong Yuan regarding He s.h.i.+ Hai’s matter.
“Nothing more than just obsessed with martial arts, seeing others go hunting and getting excited by the thrill[1].” Li Hong Yuan lazily expressed.
Jing Wan nodded, instantly understanding.
“This matter, temporarily set aside for now. Just, it has been a few days now, has Wan Wan reflected on one’s mistake yet?”
“Oh, this, more or less, just about to cleanly take care of.”
Li Hong Yuan nodded, “This husband look forward to seeing.”
Speaking of which, to want to have a certain someone’s ‘peach blossoms’ taken care of cleanly, one still needed some preparation. Jing Wan gave an order, having our Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor’s chief steward called before her.
Jin w.a.n.gfei smilingly expressed, she wants to know all the inside information on those beauties in her husband’s villa. It needs to be incomparably detailed, needing to know how they came about, and what ident.i.ty they had, and so on.
Eunuch Mu strangely paused. Although master absolutely didn’t do anything ‘sorry’ to w.a.n.gfei, those beauties existence was nevertheless a fact. w.a.n.gfei’s smile right now didn’t falter, yet it made one feel her mood was quite peculiar. To say she was angry, yet it wasn’t like she was angry. To say she was happy, yet it definitely wasn’t the case. Was it really that after being with w.a.n.gye for so long, w.a.n.gfei also turned scary? And even a bit abnormally terrifying……..
When a person’s emotions was completely expressed on the face, it was actually still quite easy to bear. A gentle terror was more unbearable, right?
Fortunately, ever since returning from the Luo Manor and encountering an ‘accident’ en route, Eunuch Mu had already made preparations. This while, whatever w.a.n.gfei wanted, he was able to immediately bring out, even organizing into a booklet, practically can’t be more thoughtful.
“Well done.” Jing Wan praised.
“w.a.n.gfei overpraises, it’s all what this servant should do.”
Jing Wan nodded with a smile, “Mu An has always been loyal and devoted towards w.a.n.gye. These things, for Mu An to be this clear about, presumably must have all gone through your hands. You’ve worked hard.”
Mu An, a moment ago, was still immeasurably pleased with himself, yet this while, carried a bitter expression. Having things done too perfectly may not necessarily be good either. Right now, it was simply just picking up a rock and smas.h.i.+ng one’s own foot. In w.a.n.gfei’s eyes, he certainly must have become that kind of lackey that brought in beauties for w.a.n.gye. This kind of person, in the female master’s eyes, should just be chopped into pieces.
“Mu An, your dedication, this w.a.n.gfei will remember. Continue working hard.” Jing Wan’s smile didn’t change.
Mu An miserably shouted inside: ‘w.a.n.gfei, please forget!’
In the following two three days, the newest rumor in the capital was just, Jin w.a.n.gfei was extremely p.r.o.ne to jealousy. Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s entire villa of beauties either got given away by her, or sold off, or beaten to death, not leaving a single one………….
